Chapter 268: Alone
Looking at the battle in front of him, Thor suddenly felt that everything was a little boring, and he couldn't imagine that these people's hostility and prejudice against him would be so deep, and he wouldn't even give him a chance to finish his words.
But it doesn't matter, although he has this face, he is just an outsider after all. Originally, there was no sense of belonging to this team, but now that it has reached this point, there is naturally nothing to regret.
So Thor pursed his lips slightly, raised his hands slightly to show that he was not hostile, and then turned around in the eyes of everyone and left Finis's tent.
Looking at Thor's back, Phines frowned, feeling as if something was wrong with him.
Thor was ready to leave, but not completely out of the group, but as if he was leaving the group, he lived alone.
He had been living like this for many years, and now it was not uncomfortable to be alone again.
The reason why he didn't leave the team completely was because even if he left, he didn't know where to go.
After this time of following the team, Thor found that it was a large labyrinth. It's so big that it's beyond my imagination, and it can be said that it's the biggest I've ever encountered in my life, as if there is no boundary.
Finding an outlet for his return in this environment was slim, and he wasn't even sure if there was anything like that.
So he chose to stay at the back of the line, not far away, because he felt that he still had something to figure out.
Judging by the team's familiarity with this labyrinth, it is obvious that they have lived in this environment for a short time, and their knowledge of this labyrinth is far better than their own, and their rush will certainly not be without reason.
Since no one wants to communicate with him, it is not a big problem, and Thor can create an opportunity for equal dialogue on his own.
So he had to get out of the team first, because except for a few captains in the team who had some personal property, most of the things were actually public. In this order, you don't get much meat for even a bear.
Of course, this is just a metaphor, and Thor has never encountered a bear in the labyrinth, and he doesn't know if there is. Anyway, the usual hunting Thor is not qualified to participate, and the main task he is assigned to every day is only to pick some simple food.
Speaking of gathering food, in fact, Thor has long noticed that every time the team's gathering team goes out to collect food, they will only collect those easy-to-eat berries, and as for the sharp leaf and green celery, they will never move.
I don't know if it's because they don't know these plants, or because they don't think they're worth eating.
Although they had taught themselves how to survive the labyrinth, such as finding food and water, Thor didn't feel like he owed the team anything, as the hard work he had put in during this time had never been compromised.
The advantage of being out of the team is how capable you are, and all the gains are your own. With private things, transactions can be generated, and in the process of transactions, both parties can talk on an equal footing.
Thor was ready to follow the group for a while longer, and once he figured out what he wanted to know, he continued on his journey.
Whether these people are a real native race or fictional characters from their own imagination, they have little to do with themselves, and they just need to remember that they are Saul Drake.
On the day he left, Thor was still a little nervous, because he didn't know if this betrayal would lead to any consequences, and it would be embarrassing if these people let themselves walk bare-bottomed.
Fortunately, when Thor packed up his small rags, until he left the team with his things on his back, those people only had a little more disgust in their eyes, but no one stepped forward to stop him.
"Captain, Havak just left with his stuff on his back. The squad leader reported to Finis.
"What's the matter, he's not the first to leave. There was no fluctuation in Finis's indifferent eyes.
"But Captain, he's ...... after all" The squad leader tried to say a few words of comfort, but was rudely interrupted by Phoenix.
"I said, leave him alone, or do you want to go with him too?"
In the face of Phines's anger, the team leader could only retreat in defeat and stop talking.
Thor was back on his own.
There are many aspects of a person's survival, the difficult thing is the vigil of no one, and the easy thing is the access to food.
As a master of wilderness survival, Thor doesn't think any of this is a problem. In fact, this kind of maze with everything is undoubtedly much less difficult to survive than the danger of the dark wilderness.
No longer having to be arranged and constrained by the team, this made Thor feel the freedom he had not felt for a long time.
The first day was relatively busy, as Thor picked some berries to use for food and sharpened his rusty dagger to a sharp edge. Then he began to cut down some branches and rattans, and it didn't take long for a wooden raft to be quickly tied into shape.
Then tie a small door with a right triangle, just find a corner of the labyrinth wall when you fall asleep at night, and then lean the big wooden row against the wall, and the wall and the wooden row will naturally form a slope triangle space, enough for people to lie in.
The bottom of the wooden raft was blocked with stones, and the small door was propped up to block the only entrance, and a simple wooden tent was formed.
It's not a good idea to say it's a tent, and Thor doesn't know how to describe it. Its appearance is undoubtedly very rudimentary, but people are so down, what else do they want for a meteor hammer?
Since there is no one to help him keep vigil, he simply does not keep it, connects two rattans to the two wooden rafts and drags them in his hand, chatting about early warning, as long as there is any change in the wooden raft, he can wake up immediately.
The reason why he dared to sleep like this was because Thor had never heard of any large beasts in the labyrinth.
The biggest beast in the team's usual discussion seems to be the wolf, otherwise a random bear will throw its ass and sit on the wooden row, and Thor below may have to hug the gods in advance.
And this kind of belongings also has the advantage that when chasing the team, the things are carried on the back in bundles, which is very light. Even if you really encounter any danger and fall apart, or throw it away when you run for your life, there is nothing to feel sorry for, just build it again.
The next day, Thor woke up on time, packing his things just in time for the team to leave. Thor was carrying his strangely shaped wooden raft on his back, not far behind, and someone in the team must have spotted him, but no one paid attention.
When the team stopped to rest, Thor laid out his bed and rafts, and plunged headlong into the maze to get busy with his business.
The problem of drinking water is a bit troublesome, after all, I only have two cups and a plate, and I lack containers, but fortunately, the water source in the maze is very rich, and I let go of the small pools that look for lakes, rivers, swamps, waterfalls, and everything.
Instead of hunting, Thor searched for a plant area first, and soon found one.
Berries, mushrooms, and all kinds of herbs and vegetables here are not too rich, in fact, when he was looking for berries yesterday, Thor was excited for a long time because of the abundance of plant species, but because he was busy going back to build a nest, he just picked some berries casually.
The main purpose of coming to the plant area today is to come to the herbs such as wind grass, purple blood vine, and dark root, and I can't imagine that I have to pick up the pharmacy again in the end.
Thor dug a pile frantically, but suddenly remembered the next day's weight, so he had to throw half of it away.
Back to his own wooden kennel, there is no way to refine and extract, the tools are limited, but the basic grinding and mixing is still no problem. Soon the first bottle of the labyrinthine version of the rudimentary healing potion appeared in Thor's hand.
He used a dagger to pull a knife on the back of his hand, and then casually applied some herbal foam to stop the bleeding. Then pour a bottle...... Oh, I guess I poured a cup of healing potion and then Thor slept into his kennel.
The next day, the herb foam was opened, and the wound was still visible, but the recovery was good. This rudimentary potion is obviously a little less effective than a formal healing potion, but as long as it is useful, it is the best result.
Another day is coming, and Thor is going to get some salt today, since Finis has salt in his hand, it is likely that he obtained it somewhere in the labyrinth. It's not for the sake of eating it, it's mainly that Thor is full of resentment about it.
At that time, I went to ask Phines to ask for salt, but before I could say anything, I was surrounded by a bunch of people. Look at the stingy appearance of Fenis when she uses salt, you slowly keep it to lay eggs, this big demon king is not rare.
When I get enough salt, I'll eat it and sprinkle it, and I'll see if you can pick it up.
Basically, as long as sea salt, rock salt, mineral salt, salt land, in short, as long as you encounter any of them, the problem of salt will be solved.
The alchemy and pharmacy books begin with the extraction of salt, and the method of precipitation and precipitation is very detailed. Although Thor had never done it himself, he still knew the general process, and it felt like it was not much different from dispensing potions.
After all, the core of pharmacy is grinding, mixing, precipitation, refining, precipitation, and evaporation.
Salt isn't worth much money on mainland Salvinia, it's a lot like mining, you need to find a place to get it first. But in terms of labor input, it doesn't take too many people to boil salt, and it's simple and risky.
Mining is different, it requires a lot of fixed manpower, and even some of the rich veins at deep depths are like bottomless pits.
No matter how much manpower you put in, you just increase the mining efforts, and there is generally no talk of labor overflow. Moreover, if one is unlucky when mining, the mine collapses or the air is poisoned, the miner may go to see his ancestors in advance.
In the labyrinth, it is estimated that there is no hope for sea salt, and the mineral salt is estimated to be a little troublesome, not to mention whether it can be found, even if you find a tool that you don't have to take advantage of to mine, it's very sad, in short, let's look for it first.
This day went around everywhere, and in the end I didn't find any salt production points, and Thor didn't care about this result, not bad for a few days.
On the way, he encountered a pheasant and flapped his wings away from Thor, who ran wildly in the maze and chased several aisles before he knocked the guy down.
Afterwards, Thor's self-assessment was that he had done something stupid, as he had forgotten about the improvised traps that prevailed in the wilderness.
In addition, Thor also encountered a lake on the way, and the plan of the fishing rod was put on his agenda again, but he didn't know if there would be any great horror in this labyrinthine lake.
