Chapter 140: Exploration in Progress!

"Today's residence looks pretty good!"

Looking at the cave that Zixiao found in front of him, Lin Luo dropped the beast he was carrying on his shoulders and nodded with satisfaction.

It is obviously easier for animals to find shelter in the jungle such as caves.

Therefore, Lin Luo had acted separately from Zixiao before, he was responsible for hunting for today's dinner, and Zixiao was responsible for finding tonight's residence.

And now, it has been a full ten days since Lin Luo set off from Zhushan.

During these ten days, he slept in small tree hollows, lived in low caves, and even survived two nights on the thick branches of a tree because he could not find a suitable place to live.

Therefore, for him now, a tall and wide cave like this one in front of him is already a very good temporary residence.

"Roar!"

Hearing Lin Luo's praise, Zixiao immediately roared happily.

It was not early now, and Lin Luo didn't waste much time, he reached out and simply cleaned up the vines blocked by the entrance of the cave, and walked into the cave.

Because it was the hot summer season, the cave was very dry and not damp at all.

However, on the walls around the cave, there are many small insects that have escaped the heat.

After a brief look, Lin Luo immediately found some hay from nearby and quickly lit a fire in the cave.

After that, he took out the cow dung that had been exchanged with the yak tribe from the animal skin package, pulled a small piece from it and threw it into the fire.

Soon, as the cow dung was ignited, a faint scent of plants and trees began to quickly permeate the cave.

And the small insects that had originally gathered on the cave wall also spread the fragrance at the same time, and they all made a commotion and desperately crawled in the direction of the cave.

As for the deworming effect of cow dung, Lin Luo had already seen it on the first night of departure.

It only needs to be lit a little bit to quickly disperse all the snakes, insects, rats and ants around, which can be said to be very practical.

Moreover, the smell of cow dung does not dissipate immediately after burning, and can last for about ten hours to ensure that no other insects will approach during this time.

It can be said that it is definitely a must-have for going out and exploring.

Taking advantage of the time when cow dung was deworming, Lin Luo was not idle, and directly walked out of the cave and pulled out the sharp-toothed dagger on his waist, and simply disposed of the corpse of the beast.

And Zixiao was also not idle, immediately looking for dry firewood nearby, and put it at the entrance of the cave with his mouth.

Soon, when Lin Luo disposed of the beast's corpse, it was already completely dark.

After using dry wood to build a vigorous bonfire in the cave, Lin Luo inserted the processed meat pieces into the branches and placed them next to the bonfire to roast.

Then, he pushed half of the beast flesh and blood, which had not been carefully processed, in front of Zixiao.

"Here, this half is yours. ”

Looking at the flesh and blood of the beast pushed by Lin Luo, Zixiao immediately lowered his head and tore it and ate it with a big gulp.

Zixiao is not used to the cooked food eaten by humans, and it still prefers to eat raw meat by tearing it in large gulps.

Looking at Zixiao, who was crawling on the ground, eating the flesh and blood of the beast with relish, Lin Luo picked up the bamboo tube beside him, opened the stopper, and poured out a cyan wild fruit the size of a ping-pong ball from it.

Picking up the wild fruit and biting it down, Lin Luo immediately frowned, and his facial features were suddenly squeezed together.

Sour!

The taste of this green wild fruit, Lin Luo can only use this word to describe it.

Because, this wild fruit is not yet ripe, and if it grows ripe, it may taste better.

However, Lin Luo obviously didn't have time to wait for it to grow and mature.

Water shortages are undoubtedly a common phenomenon during the hot summer season.

When Lin Luo set off from Zhushan, although he had brought several bamboo tubes of water in his package in advance, after these ten days of travel, all the water had already been consumed.

In the absence of a water source, he can only rely on unripe sour wild fruits and the rhizomes of some plants to obtain the necessary water for the human body.

Moreover, because of the severe shortage of water, coupled with the fact that he has to travel in the dust every day, Lin Luo's image at this moment can be completely described as unkempt.

The hair that had regrown was messy, a lot of it was sticking together, and there was a strange smell on the body.

This made Lin Luo can't help but start to miss his life in Zhushan.

If it was in Zhushan, where would he still have to suffer this crime!

Even if you bathe with clean water every day, there is no problem at all.

Thinking to himself, Lin Luo quickly ate the wild fruit into his stomach in three or two bites.

He then took out the skin roll from the package and opened it, dipped a thin twig in the blood of the beast from before, and added a tribal identifier to the map.

The tribe that Lin Luo added was a beast spirit tribe that he had discovered on his way today.

Originally, Lin Luo also wanted to use the jerky of the beast to exchange some water with the beast spirit tribe.

But for him, a strange outsider with great strength and a fierce beast war pet, the beast spirit tribe showed a high degree of vigilance.

did not let him get close to the tribe at all, and directly and categorically rejected his request to exchange water.

All tribes will show strong hostility towards strange outsiders who suddenly appear, which Lin Luo can understand.

Therefore, after explaining to no avail, Lin Luo could only reluctantly give up the idea of trading and chose to turn around and leave.

And at this moment, on the map of the beast skin scroll, in addition to this tribe, Lin Luo had also identified two other newly discovered tribes before.

Of those two tribes, one of them also went to the Giant Turtle Tribe's trade fair every year, and Lin Luo also heard something about that tribe.

It's just that, just like the Zhejin tribe, the bamboo tribe only knew the general location of that tribe before, and didn't know where the specific location was.

Therefore, after seeing the other party's tribe with his own eyes this time, Lin Luo added it to the map.

Similarly, the other party had also heard of the Bamboo Tribe, so he didn't have much hostility towards Lin Luo.

Although the other party also did not let Lin Luo enter the tribe, he still agreed to Lin Luo's transaction request and gave him some water.

Although water is very precious to tribes during the summer season, many tribes will choose to agree if they exchange the meat or blood of equally precious beasts.

Soon, after adding today's newly discovered tribes, Lin Luo looked at the map on the animal skin scroll, but frowned slightly.

"Is the Yakin tribe really in this position?"

After ten days of traveling, there was still no trace of the Zhijin tribe, which made Lin Luo wonder if the information provided by Lie was wrong.

After all, in this primitive world, the identification of the position is not very accurate, and it is easy to deviate.

"Forget it, let's continue to search for another day tomorrow, and if you haven't found it yet, go back. ”

Then, Lin Luo continued to mutter.

This time, the exploration time he originally planned was only about half a month.

Ten days have passed now, and if the same return time is counted, it is obviously much beyond Lin Luo's original plan.

However, he chose to give up like this, and he was a little unwilling.

After all, when he chose this direction for his first exploration, Lin Luo's purpose was to go to the Zhijin tribe.

Now that he has returned in vain, Lin Luo is naturally very unwilling.
