A new day began again, and a thick layer of hoarfrost formed on the grass in the valley, as if a faint veil was spread, and gradually disappeared in the sunlight. Stern had been awakened from his sleep several times last night, and was still sneezing in the morning. Now the temperature of the cave where he used to live on the outskirts of the forest was at least five to ten degrees lower than here, and it was no longer suitable for him to continue to live, so the plan was to find a suitable habitat near this valley as soon as possible. Stern thought that Little Gray should be more familiar with this area, so he let it lead the way, and he himself followed Little Gray all the way, all the way through thorns and thorns, about two miles or so, there was a small ravine, the gurgling sound of water in the ravine seemed to be beautiful music very pleasant, there were several fruit trees on the side of the ravine that were very conspicuous, only to see that the tree was bearing yellow and clear orange-sized fruit, in the Kadia continent this fruit is called fragrant fruit, like an orange with a layer of skin on the outside, open to the consequence of the fragrance to the nose, there is plenty of moisture in the flesh, the taste is very sweet to eat, flowering and fruiting in summer, ripening in late autumn and early winter。 There are also four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Kadia continent, but here it is called the warming season, the warm season, the warming season, and the cold season, of course, the extreme northern ice field in the north of the continent is in the cold season all year round, this fragrant fruit is ripe in the early cold season, and now this season is just entering the cold season, after the frost, the fragrant fruit has no original jerky taste.

Stern stepped forward and raised his hand to pluck a fragrant fruit, peeled it and ate it, it was juicy and sweet, it was the first time he had eaten fruit since he came to the island. It was also an unexpected harvest to be able to find a few fragrant fruit trees here, and after Stern finished eating the fragrant fruit in his hand, he began to pick a few rings and put them in the space, and then continued to follow Ash on his way. After walking about a mile, a hillside appeared in front of him, and at the foot of the slope there was a cave two meters wide and one meter five high, and Stern took out his axe and walked slowly towards the cave. There was a certain downward slope in the cave, and after walking along the cave for about five meters, the space inside began to gradually become more and more open, and Stern found that it was a natural small karst cave, and it was very warm inside, and through the roof there were several cracks of different sizes, through which the light coming in from the cracks could see the general situation inside the cave. The area of the cave is about 200 square meters, the widest point is about 30 meters, from the bottom of the cave to the top of about 5 meters high, several cracks formed at the top provide good light for the cave, so that the whole cave is bright, looking at the cave there are no traces of poisonous snakes and beasts, which makes Stern feel at ease.

It's the dry season, and the cave is dry except for a pool at the bottom, and Stern put his hand into the pool and found that the water inside is hot, and now it's a very good time to live in the cave, and when the weather gets warmer, the cave will get wetter and wetter, and then it's not suitable for living. Stern is very happy with the place now, and plans to make his home in this cave this winter, no matter whether it is windy or snowy outside, it is always warm as spring inside, just like a room with air conditioning and heating when he was on earth. Stern decided to go back the way he came, he was going back to the cave and moving all the household utensils into this natural cave.

Stern walked out of the cave with Ash, he returned the same way while eating fragrant fruits, the smell of fragrant fruits reminded him of some of the past when he lived in Yunmeng City, the imperial capital of the Bauhinia Empire, and then thought that it had been almost a month since he had been on the island, and he basically had not seen a glimmer of hope of leaving the island. About half an hour later, Stern returned to the valley and stopped as he passed by the Blood Orchid Bush, which is a very effective wound recovery medicine, the last time he applied some to the wound, it immediately stopped bleeding and scabbed, and the wound recovered quickly. He didn't have any blood orchids on hand now, and he was going to pick some more and go back to make some more blood orchid potion and wine to compress the wound again, and at the same time save some more in case of emergency. Stern picked up the vintage blood orchids, and it took him about half an hour to pick a large bundle and barely stuff it into the spatial ring, and then he returned the same way he had come and set off towards the cave on the outskirts of the forest.

The sun was high above Stern's head, the time had reached noon, from the time he got up until now, he had not eaten anything except a few fragrant fruits that could quench his thirst, and now he was hungry, so he found a stone and sat down, and took out a bag of dried cassava from the space ring, this bag of dried cassava has been with him from the boat to the present, at first he was eating dried cassava every day until later, he felt hard to swallow, recently he has been eating meat every day, and now he has decided to eat dried cassava again and decided to be fresh and sweet. Looking at Stern eating dried cassava with relish, Ash began to sit still, and he looked at Stern pitifully, and his mouth kept humming. Stern couldn't help but be amused by the funny way it looked, and threw him a few dried cassava sticks, and it immediately began to eat happily. After resting for a while, Stern took Ash and set off on the road again, Stern could have ridden Ash on the road, but now Ash has not recovered, so he endured walking by himself.

It wasn't until dark that Stern returned to the pool, and as soon as he got to the pool, Ash began to drink the water in the pool, and he had not drunk any more water all day, and now he could not bear it anymore. Walking all the way up the ravine to the cave, Stern instantly had a feeling of going home, after all, he had been here for more than half a month, and he was already familiar with this place. Stern picked up a seabird hanging from the bamboo fence and threw it to Ash, and it was for today's dinner. Stern went out and cut some branches and piled up a pile of firewood, and then he took the bucket to the waterhole and fetched a bucket of water back to the cave, and he took a seabird and rinsed it with water in an iron basin, and then cut it into pieces and put it in an iron basin filled with water, and put some salt in it, and then set the iron basin on the fire, and lit the fire with flint.

After solving a large pot of delicious food with Ash, Stern lay down on the plank bed and prepared to sleep, looking at Ash lazily lying on the ground with a satisfied look, Stern was full of relief that he could turn enemies into friends with Ash, and he would no longer be alone on this island from now on, and he would be able to ride Ash to explore this island full of unknowns in the future.
