Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Day of the Harvest

Rick returned to the makeshift camp at the bottom of the cliff at dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info had been in the camp with wide eyes and vigilantly patrolling the steel horns around him, and for the first time he spotted Rick leisurely walking down the cliff, he let out a sigh of relief. Rick looked at the quiet camp, the dying campfire, and the tired but energetic steel horns, and Rick felt satisfied. Whether it was the harvest of the night or the performance of the steel horn, Rick felt that the night was not in vain. In particular, Rick noticed the glimmer of joy in the eyes of the steel horn when he saw his safe return, and he was even more determined that he was not wrong as a follower, and he must increase his efforts to cultivate him in the future and make him his most powerful henchman. Rick is in a good mood and thinks about preparing a delicious meal to treat himself and Steelhorn. Beckoned Gangjiao to go to the bonfire, prepared pots, flour, and dried meat, and asked Gangjiao to collect some wild vegetables, dug up some clams, scallops and other seafood by the sea, and stewed a large pot of delicious wild vegetables and seafood stewed porridge. This porridge is so fragrant that even the sleeping first mate and sailor were gotten up early. The most exaggerated thing is that the barbarian Qianggen, with his eyes closed and snoring, came out of the tent, and was attracted by the fragrance to drink porridge while sleepwalking. When it was the half-elf missing the moon, he deserved to be an old mercenary, tidied up himself, and greeted Rick and several people very politely, before taking the rice bowl full of thick porridge in the steel corner, took a sip of porridge elegantly, and praised the good porridge, which was really delicious. After everyone finished their seafood porridge, they packed up their things and prepared to explore the island. At the end of the day, everyone explored the places on the island, except for some particularly hidden places, and there were some corners that humans could not pass through. The harvest of everyone was not bad, and they found a lot of bones and teeth of magic beasts. Luckily, a young sailor found a protonuclear of a magical beast from a crack in the bones left by a magical beast. This pronucleus returned to the missing moon, and he took away the small pronucleus with twenty gold coins. In the evening, at Rick's suggestion, the group returned to the merchant ship Thoennes, and did not plan to explore the island of gulls. In the eyes of everyone on board, although this trip to explore the island of gulls and birds was not very rewarding, it was a satisfactory journey. In any case, this journey of exploration has only paid some labor, and has not encountered the slightest danger, although the harvest is not much, but it is worth a thousand and eight hundred gold coins. The rest is naturally to accept it when it is good and set off. In Rick's opinion, this trip to the island of gulls and birds is very rewarding, but the gains of others are not worth mentioning. But what he didn't know was that in another universe, on the Nameless Continent, Wu Xuan's Xuanhu tribe ushered in a bumper harvest beyond the imagination of everyone in the tribe.

At this time, more than forty days had passed since Wu Xuan escaped from the belly of the volcanic mountain. The location is in a separate cave dug in the cave where the Xuanhu tribe is located. Elder Zhihuo and the eldest of several tribes, including Elder Fengzhi, who came from the vassal, looked at the two hills in front of them in amazement. The two hills are not tall or small, in Wu Xuan's opinion, they are more than three meters high at most, and the radius covers an area of five or six meters. The shorter one is the mountain of wheat grown from the wild wheat they brought with them. The taller one is a mountain of bamboo rice harvested from the bamboo groves in the valley. Elder Zhihuo and the others looked at the two hills, and repeatedly confirmed to Yi who was standing next to them that they could all eat this, these were all delicious food. After getting Yi's affirmative answer, several old people were in tears, and they would never be hungry again, and they were not worried about starving to death in the cold season that was about to pass, with so much food. In the past 40 days, all the clansmen of the Xuanhu tribe have been tired and happy. Under the planning and guidance of Wu Xuan, Yi and Yi were in charge of conveying, and Elder Zhihuo, Hurricane, and Feng Ping worked concretely, using metal ore mined from the inside of the volcano to create a lot of things. There's a hammer, there's a chisel, there's an axe, there's a knife, and the biggest thing ever made is an oversized metal pot. Someone said, how did you build so many things, but there was no hammer and no coal in the beginning? That's not simple, there is no coal, the bamboo forest bears bamboo rice, and it is about to die, cut down all the dead bamboo, and burn it into bamboo charcoal, which can be used as a good fuel. Although the burning temperature of bamboo charcoal is lower than that of coal, less than 1,000 degrees, Wu Xuan Guiyi made a bellows out of wood and animal skins, heated the burning bamboo charcoal, and barely melted the alloy composed of a small amount of gold and silver, about one-tenth of copper, four-fifths of iron, and trace amounts of unknown metals that Wu Xuan identified. Originally, based on the experience of Wu Xuan's previous life, this alloy contains a small amount of gold and silver, and most of the composition is iron, and it takes at least more than 2,000 degrees of furnace temperature to melt it, but who knows, and I don't know how those trace amounts of unknown metals affect this alloy. The alloy is initially melted, and it is easy to deal with, use clay to make a mold of several hammer heads, pour the alloy into it, and when it cools, install wooden handles on the hammer heads, and hammer each other, to a certain extent, a strong hammer is available. With the hammer, the remaining chisels, axes, knives and so on are easy to build, and as a result, the wind in charge of mining alloy ore is tired and happy, and the Elder Zhihuo and Hurricane who are in charge of building it are also tired and happy. The Xuanhu tribe has axes, chisels, knives and other tools made of alloy, whether it is digging holes in the cave where they live or cutting dead bamboo in the valley, they are much easier, and the speed of work is not a little bit faster, even when the wheat is ripe, when harvesting, Wu Xuan instructed Yi and Hurricane to build a few sickles, and it only took a short time to harvest the wheat in the field. The wild birds that flew from outside the valley wanted to peck at some grains of wheat, but before they could reach them, the wheat was finished. Of course, it is easier to cut the withered bamboo with an axe or a wood knife, and anyway, according to the people who went to cut the bamboo, it was easy to cut a lot of bamboo. Moreover, Wu Xuan also made a lot of alloy shovels made, and it was much easier to dig up the bamboo roots underground. With the metal tools, Wu Xuan originally wanted to instruct Yi and them to build a few metal parts, and wanted to try to assemble a manual lathe. But who knew that the guys in charge of the kiln actually fired qualified cement, and then, everyone worked together to build roads, caves, and gates at the mouth of the valley, all of which were cement. After the repair, Elder Zhihuo found someone to test it, and the strength of these cement repairs has increased by two or three times. Roads and other places were repaired with cement, wheat and bamboo rice were harvested, and even the most difficult alloy pots were made. Wu Xuan originally wanted to rest and rest, but suddenly one day, Wu Xuan found that all the women in the tribe began to sew animal skin clothes. Wu Xuan thought about it, and now that it was about to enter the cold season, it was time to prepare more clothes to protect him from the cold. But Qi said to Wu Xuan that there was trouble, the Xuanhu tribe had only been established for more than half a year, and the animal skins obtained from hunting were not enough, that is to say, the materials for making warm clothes were not enough, and I hoped that Wu Xuan would think of a way to solve this trouble. Wu Xuan thought about it, and asked Qi and Yi to take all the plants they had collected some time ago. Then step on a plant with long thick leaves, and say that the leaves of this plant can be blistered and beaten, dried and rubbed to obtain a plant fiber, which can be used to make a large number of clothes for warmth. The production method is not too difficult, that is, these plant fibers are woven into a staggered warp and weft thread in some templates to imitate the way of baskets, and they can be barely used as clothing. Of course, if the knitter is skillful and the person is smarter, you can weave beautiful and durable clothes. It's all up to each person. After five or six days of busyness, the people of the Xuanhu tribe finally had their own fitting clothes, and the animal skins that had been left before and the leaves of the plants they had collected were all used up. Wu Xuan originally wanted Elder Zhihuo to send someone to collect more leaves of plants, but the person who went to collect plant leaves went quickly and came back quickly, and reported one thing to Elder Zhihuo, an extremely important matter. The Great Migration of Herbivores has begun, and the vanguard of the Herbivores is about to pass near the Xuangui Valley, where the Xuanhu tribe is located. Then, a hunting campaign began.
