As long as you succeed in pulling these tree roots down from the hard cave wall, it is estimated that you will not have to worry about the fire materials for the whole night, and with fire, it is undoubtedly the greatest safety guarantee for yourself.

Even if the roots don't seem so easy to pull.

While thinking about how to cut off the roots of the tree, Jiang Liu'er used a wooden stick as thick as an arm's length and with very irregular twists and turns to wrap the body of the cobra on the wooden stick, and then placed it on the sand next to the fire and slowly roasted it.

Snake meat is undoubtedly a delicacy in the world, especially when I am extremely short of supplies.

But he couldn't risk throwing all the snake meat into the fire at once, and the remaining short and thick firewood was not enough to build a barbecue stand, so he had to bake it away from the fire for a while, and wait until there was more charcoal burning, and then bury the snake meat between the coals in a part, which was a technique often used by Bei Ye.

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry, although Jiang Liu'er's stomach is already grumbling with hunger now, he can't ruin his only meal today because he is in a hurry.

After these things were done, some firewood was thrown into the fire, and puffs of white smoke came out from the middle, and the whole cave suddenly became a miasma, probably because of the wind and rain outside, and the smoke could not come out much, but could only continue to wind and drift in the cave, and soon the whole cave was enveloped.

At this time, Jiang Liu'er was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that although the entrance of the cave could not be floated out and dissipated, he found the smaller internal hole that he was very afraid of before, and kept pouring in.

This shows that the inside of this cave should be ventilated, as for where it leads, he doesn't know, at least at this stage, Jiang Liu'er doesn't plan to venture into it for the time being, maybe wait until tomorrow dawn, the sky clears, and he can roughly find some living materials and firewood or something, and then make a torch, and then make a simple self-defense stick, and go in to explore the adventure.

He also wondered where this leads?

For the time being, he couldn't manage so much, and the disgust shrouded in the cave had a place to go, and Jiang Liu'er breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, it was estimated that he would have to be smoked to death by the smoke hanging above his head.

Got up and came to the bare roots next to the cave entrance, Jiang Liu'er took a closer look, the surface of these roots showed a dry yellow, the epidermis fell off a lot, and there were all kinds of pitted wormholes and small holes on them, which seemed to be the rhizomes of trees that had long since died, but they had not completely decayed.

Since it is a dead tree root, it is much easier to pull down these stout guys, three times five divided by two, Jiang Liu'er's hands directly tightly grabbed one of the roots that was as thick as an arm, and pulled hard, only to hear a very crisp click, and the root that had reached into the crack in the stone on both sides was directly dragged down as if it was devastated.

Along the way, there were some wet and dry mud and sand, and the splashing river was all over the body.

This tree root is more than a meter long, it can be said to be a rare heating firewood, Jiang Liu'er suddenly felt happy in his heart, but his activities are not limited to this, he simply threw it on the side not far from the fire, and when he went to the stubble where the root of the tree was broken, he saw that gray-white termites were going in and out from the cracks in the stone and the stubble, and his posture was panicked.

Bei Ye once said that termites are also a rare good thing to replenish energy, and the calories contained in a handful of termites are many times higher than that of beef, but there is no joy and excitement on Jiang Liuer's face.

There was even a slight frown.

He has a slight phobia of denseness, and when he sees this dense colony of termites, it looks like thousands of insects crawling on his body, and his heart is numb, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, how can he be interested in eating them?

Anyway, I already have snake meat, and these insects that look like people are churning in their stomachs, so don't eat them.

Cleaning up her mood, Jiang Liu'er set her eyes on the other roots.

One of them, one end embedded between the cracks in the stone, the other left exposed, was also dry, and with a gentle tug, it was torn off.

The remaining two were thicker than the previous two, and they didn't seem to be completely dry, but they felt resilient when tugged on, and most importantly, both of them were embedded in the cracks and dirt at both ends, and the exposed section was bent into an irregular arc like the arm of a strong bow.

However, Jiang Liu'er knew that these tree roots could not be used as materials to make strong bows at all, because the roots were too soft and easy to shape, but they had little strength.

But he didn't plan to give up, these two half-dry roots that add up to three meters long are undoubtedly the best choice for starting a fire and heating, with them to help burn, I guess I don't have to worry about firewood tonight.

After making up her mind, Jiang Liuer began to act.

However, the reality is always easy to disappoint, he has worked hard and panting, and only slightly moved out the two roots, except for the frog, not even any of them can be pulled out of the cracks in the stone, but a lot of dirt and attached termites are splashed.

The first attempt was declared a failure, and Jiang Liu'er suddenly had a plan.

After carefully selecting and searching, he found a few angular and heavy stones in a corner of the cave, there was no time to polish them, these stones were acceptable as basic tools, without the slightest hesitation, he simply smoothed his breath, picked up one of the stones with a sharp tip, and aimed at one of the roots of the tree near the entrance of the cave.

"Click......"

The half-dried roots let out a feeble wail, which seemed to break the muscles and bones.

Then he put the stone aside, grabbed the broken end of the root with both hands and pulled it violently, and it broke in two, one end was still in the crack of the stone, and the other end was already exposed.

Jiang Liu'er did the same, and soon used the method of smashing first and then pulling to pull down these two large tree roots, each more than a meter long and as thick as an arm.

And by this time, some of the dry firewood that Jiang Liu'er had found before was about to burn out, leaving a pair of red charcoal fires that glowed dazzlingly.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Jiang Liu'er first made a shallow hole in the sand next to it, then used the roots of the tree to turn about half of the charcoal fire in the fire into the small hole, and then removed the snake meat from the tangled branches, because the snake skin had already hissed butter from the previous baking, exuding an attractive aroma of meat.

Jiang Liu'er swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then rolled the cobra's corpse into a mosquito-like plate, threw it into the fire next to it, and broke off the smaller tree root a little bit, and regenerated the fire on the snake meat to roast up and down at the same time.
