Back at the meeting point, Yi Mu and the three seemed to run out of luck, and after encountering the shaving rats, they did not find any trace of the beast. At Yi Mu's suggestion, the group returned to the meeting point, took the axes they had prepared earlier, and prepared to start cutting down trees.

Many teenagers found the shaved rat in the fat man's hand, and praised it one after another. Both the mouse and Yi Mu, who were standing next to the fat man, had an urge to block the fat man's mouth in their hearts.

"Well done, young man! The shaved rats have all been caught. "It was an old hunter who was in charge of guarding and handling his prey.

Yi Mu and the rat said sourly in their hearts: "**** luck." ”

"Where, it's not something I can do alone, this prey was caught by the three of us together." The fat man changed his normal behavior and modestly mentioned Yi Mu and the mouse to the credit.

Yi Mu and the rat didn't react a little, only to hear the old hunter say: "Yes, yes, you know how to hunt together at a young age, you are all good!" ”

Walking out of the cave, Yi Mu and the mouse looked at the fat man together.

"I know what you're trying to ask, isn't that actually it? How could I have shot without your two arrows, and besides, even if it were all my work, it couldn't be all my work. ”

Yi Mu and the mouse were a little moved when they heard this, and the fat man said: "Because when the time comes, you will definitely tell all the people." ”

“······” Easy wood.

“······” Rat.

After some entanglement, Yi Mu and the three came to the place where the hunter cut down the trees, under the guidance of the old white cow, the three of Yi Mu pointed out what trees can be cut down and what trees can not be cut down, and after learning some uses of the axe, the three of them moved to another wood, ready to train and prepare for a dead slender willow tree.

In the woodlands, such a dead species can be found everywhere, and the slender waist willow tree grows extremely fast, but the cycle is less than twenty years. This is a short-lived species compared to the species that survive for 100 years at the beginning, but they are quite numerous in the deep forest. One of the most important reasons is that it is so easy to grow and how easy it is to spread. Correspondingly, they are extremely useless and can only be used as ordinary firewood.

However, it is such a dead firewood tree species, which is extremely difficult for teenagers to cut down.

"The axe is too heavy." The fat man complained

"I still think the trunk is too thick, Yi Mu, did we choose the wrong target?" The mouse said.

"No, it's a tree of this size that it's worth cutting down, and I believe it's also a test of the mission." Yi Mu responded, "It's our method that's wrong. ”

The dead slender willow tree in front of the three of them had been cut down and fell to the ground, apparently at a great cost to the boys. It's not just as simple as cutting them down, but the boys also have to process the trees and move them to the open space where they gather, which is another test.

"If only this axe could resemble the fangs of the King of Pigs, it would be possible to divide the trunk into several sections without much effort." The fat man shook the axe in his hand and said.

"The beauty you think, the king of hairy pigs relies on his own strength, not fangs." The rat hits to.

At this moment, Yi Mu suddenly thought of an idea, and said excitedly: "Fatty, if you are given a new logging tool that can cut wood faster and easier, you can't do it." ”

The fat man scratched his head and said, "Fools don't do it, but do you have that kind of tool?" ”

"Is there a more convenient tool for logging than an iron axe?" The mouse said with some disbelief.

"You wait." Yi Mu pretended to be mysterious. "You'll find out in a few days."

After having Yi Mu's idea, the three of them decisively postponed the logging task to a later time, and chose to set off again to catch the prey, and strengthen their training skills to deal with the demon beast test in the near future.

However, this time, Yi Mu did not choose to go with them, but came to the place where the hunters gathered to cut wood, and humbly asked for advice.

"This is the caftam tree, its wood is hard and very light, and the timber merchant of Sheng Shang is willing to pay five amethyst coins to buy such trees, which is considered a tree of high value." The old white cow pointed to a tall tree in front of him and explained to Yi Mu that this tree was about the thickness of Yi Mu's waist pole, and the branches were mainly distributed at the top, forming a large canopy-like crown.

"Five amethysts." Yi Mu directly turned this tree into a glittering crystal coin and admired.

"Little wealth fan," the old white cow patted Yi Mu's head with a smile and continued, "We cut down fifty caftam trees every year, but this kind of tree is not the most valuable. ”

"Is there anything higher than this?" Yi Mu looked up and asked.

"Of course there is, and it's right behind you." The old white cow said

"Where?" Yi Mu turned around and looked around, there were caftan trees and some slender willow trees everywhere, and no special tree species were found. Suddenly, he saw a peculiar-looking sapling with extremely wide leaves, which contrasted with its thin trunk.

"It can't be this, is it?" Yi Mu said, pointing to the sapling.

"Not bad." The old white cow laughed, "Don't underestimate it, such a growing tree, only three can be worth fifty long fir trees." ”

"So much." Yi Mu was surprised, "Then how many of these trees do we have in this area?" ”

"It's not much, but it's cut down three a year." The old white cow said, "This is the rule set by the ancestors, and there are only thirty or forty such trees in the basin. ”

"Is there any other place in the mountains?" Yi Mu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, and a lot." The old white cow said.

"Where?"

"Deep mountains through the canyon."

After a conversation with the old white cow, Yi Mu had a general understanding of the names and distribution patterns of some tree species, and also had a general understanding of the basin, and knew where more prey would appear. On top of that, he found it extremely difficult for even a powerful hunter to cut down some solid trees, which strengthened his desire to make a cutting tool that might work.

The deep mountains were originally a huge treasure trove, especially for the rest of Shazhou. However, the wealth of the treasure house here can only be obtained at a great price, such as this canyon basin, which has also experienced the lives and blood and tears of dozens of generations of villagers in Yuhe Village, so they have learned to open source and learn to plant.

Strangely, some valuable trees do not survive in the back mountains, and it seems that all species that are far away from this familiar area will die.

Perhaps, this is also a limitation, the more precious something, the rarer it is.

If it's too easy to obtain, then the species won't be precious.
