In June, after more than half a year of natural decay, most of the trees that were blown down by the strong typhoon last year were bare trunks.

Walking in the woods is finally back to the way it was before, and even because the trees are sparse and easier to walk than before, you can finally go to the woods when you are bored again!

It was only on the second day in the woods that another bad news came, and when I was going to weed the big mango tree that had solved my survival dilemma and had been providing me with mangoes, I found that it had not survived the typhoon last year!

This was undoubtedly a big blow to me, and I was finally looking forward to harvesting a lot of mangoes in two months, only to find that not only were there no mangoes, but even the trees were no longer there.

One of my great benefactors was sacrificed......

I knew that even if the yield was reduced or even stopped last year, I had to prune off some of the branches of that tree to save its life, and then I don't know how long it would take to restore the yield of mangoes to the previous level, at least for a year or two!

If you want to eat mangoes, it's not a big problem, there is another small tree that began to bear fruit last year, and there are twenty or thirty fruits hanging on the tree, but compared to last year's number, it is not very enjoyable!

......

After ten and a half days of processing, and repeated trials and tests in multiple processes, it was finally time to verify the results.

I know the specifics very well, because every day or two I watch it out, and it finally lives up to the toss of this time, at least for now, the crocodile is in good shape.

The color is slightly dull without the dye of modern technology, the feel is more than twice as hard, and the details are not delicate enough, and even the hands will be pierced in some places.

There are problems of one kind or another, but I tried my best, this is the best state I can make with a small amount of time, and it is basically qualified to make bags or uppers!

It is true that spending more time and effort can take this piece of skin to the next level, but I don't think it's necessary, and it doesn't need to be perfect under these conditions.

Finally, you can make leather shoes, but the backpack still has to wait for a more suitable leather in the future, there are too many holes in this piece, and you can't find the area needed to make a bag!

The production of leather shoes is also very simple, even less demanding than the process of making sandals, only a piece of tire is cut as the sole, and then a suitable size of fish skin is made into the upper, and sewn along the edge of the shoe is completed.

The following process is almost the same as the modern process, the difference is only my craftsmanship, and there is no glue!

Living up to my high hopes, after an hour or two I finally put on my long-awaited leather shoes, which were indeed comfortable to wear at first, but they were stuffy after a few minutes.

It seems that its application time is indeed winter, and summer is still only the life of wearing sandals.

......

It's been almost twenty days since the last crocodile was hunted, and the crocodile meat has been reduced by a third in those twenty days, and at this rate, it will take at least a month and a half to clean up the meat.

If you run out of meat and then hunt the next crocodile every time, it's too slow!

In this way, I can only reduce the number of crocodiles at most three or four a year, and the rest will have to lay eggs, and then a large number of them will appear on the island, and at the same time, I will not be able to shoot the small crocodiles, so I can only let them grow.

Even if the meat of the crocodiles is very high-quality, I want to reduce the number of crocodiles as soon as possible, and I will be less dangerous for each one of them, and it is not too late to consider suspending when the meat really can't be saved!

Tomorrow I am ready to start a new round of action, and as for why it is not today, because there is something more important today, I am going to work and improve a little more on the few arrows and spears that I have used.

The four arrows used have a certain amount of wear, especially the two arrows are scrapped and need to be retrained when they have time in the future, which is also fortunate that there are dozens of arrows made at the beginning, which can be replaced directly.

The spear was a bit more cumbersome, and in addition to replacing it with a harder wooden shaft, the tip of the spear had to be finely polished, and the previous spear tip was not sharp at all, and felt like the head of a key.

The edges of the knives on both sides are not very sharp, and there is no way to cut vegetables, and today's task is to sharpen the head of the spear like a needle, and the sides must also reach the sharpness of the dagger.

This grinding took three hours, and I was also foaming at the mouth and cramping my hands, but the result was good, and I believe that the spear at this time will be able to exert its power when it encounters the last scene!

It would be an exaggeration to poke the crocodile directly, and it should not be a big problem to stab it for one or twenty centimeters, and if it happens again, the melee will never be like last time, and even the defense will not be broken.

In addition to the spear, other equipment also needs to be maintained, most of the iron has been idle in these twenty days, and it has rusted more or less, and I regret how I didn't use a big oil bottle to fill a bottle of diesel in the first place, which is now used to prevent rust is simply wonderful!

......

The combat effectiveness has been further strengthened, and my self-confidence has been further inflated, and a new round of operations is about to begin, and the sooner it is solved, the sooner it can be solved, and the sooner it can go to sea!

Before setting off in the morning, I still had a full meal, swelling myself to the point of humming, there was no way, the next action would definitely be another fierce battle, whether it was looking for crocodiles in the woods, or hunting, it would take enough physical strength to ensure continuous combat effectiveness.

Due to the experience of the previous operation, this time the equipment has been further simplified, and only a bow and five arrows, spears, fishing nets and axes, which I think will be enough.

Hunting a crocodile with a clear target doesn't have to deal with other threats, I think five arrows are enough, two arrows can see the effect, and if two or three arrows don't hit, it will just scare away.

In addition, the long knife was also placed in the house by me, and it was obvious that its effect on crocodiles was not as big as imagined, and even very cumbersome, and it was completely deadly. When you go out this season, even if you are empty-handed, you can sweat all over your body, not to mention carrying a one-to-twenty-pound weapon that is seven long and eight short!

The axe had been changed from an iron axe that I had refined myself to an alloy axe that had been rolled down from a fishing boat, and it was obviously better suited to the hard bones of a crocodile.

That's why it's important to have enough experience in anything, especially in the face of life-threatening situations, where the slightest carelessness can be a reversal!

I'm glad that the aura of the protagonist has allowed me to live until now, in addition to being alert enough and having a mentality in the face of a crisis, it is especially important to not panic in case of trouble, at least to make the chance of success greater!

......

With the last experience, I was also more at peace, not taking the risk of looking along the beach as stupidly as I did at the beginning, but standing on the hillside and looking around the sea.

After living on the island for a few years, I didn't gain anything else, but my eyes have not been polluted by modern electronics in recent years, and I have returned to a normal state, and I can see things in the distance much more clearly.

In the past, I was either a mobile phone or a computer every day, and my myopia was quite severe, so fast that I couldn't see my fingers, but after a few years of recuperation, my eyesight can be used as a telescope.

Standing on the hillside for just a few seconds, after a round of glances, I saw that seven or eight hundred meters away, there were four crocodiles sleeping in the shade under the hillside.

If there was one, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to stand on its head and shoot downward, but unfortunately I can't afford to mess with a few of them together.

The process of continuing the search was simply tormenting, it was so hot that it seemed that the hunt could only be done early, and the weather was too hot to be suspended.

Wait until the temperature of nearly 40 degrees and then come to the mountains and forests to look for crocodiles everywhere, that is to find yourself uncomfortable, it is estimated that the fish has not been found, and the person will suffer from heat stroke first!

After walking forward for more than half an hour, I saw a crocodile with a slightly smaller head on the seashore in the distance, but its position was at the edge of the sea and was not suitable.

Then I walked around the island and didn't find a new target, and it seems that today's operation can only be declared a failure!

This situation was unexpected, and before I set off, I was confident that I would be able to harvest another crocodile, and I was slapped in the face in minutes......

This led me to a new conclusion: it's hard to deal with people or animals because they don't follow your will.

Unless you are dealing with plants that have no intelligence, you don't need to make a plan in advance, they can be pinched and flattened by others.

......

The next day, I still didn't give up, and since the action had already begun, I couldn't give up halfway!

After bringing all the equipment, continue to shuttle through the mountains and forests to find a suitable target to start, the difference is that today is earlier than yesterday, and I went out at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, when the sun has just risen, the temperature is a few degrees lower, and I am not so tired.

The process was quite smooth, and within a quarter of an hour of departure, I found a crocodile on the beach, but it didn't work out of sight, and there were six crocodiles together today!

Looking at this situation, today's operation will be forced to cancel again because there is no suitable target, but fortunately, there is no need to walk around the island again.

How many crocodiles there are on the island has always been one of the things I want to figure out, and only by knowing their exact number can I know how many I have hunted and how many are left.

As long as the last one is cleared, you can go to the sea again, but this is obviously not an easy task, they don't have to get together for meetings, they don't stay together as families, and they don't let me count slowly.

Four were found yesterday, and the one I hunted was five, and today there are seven, and I think the number of crocodiles on the island should be in double digits or higher, which is not a good thing.

Although they couldn't reach the top of the hill, the island was like a cage blocking me on the beach, and I seemed to be a prisoner on the island in disguise!

On the third day, things finally took a turn for the better, and an hour after I set off, I found a lone crocodile sleeping in the distance near the bottom of the mountain.

It's a godsend for me, not only is it in a very good position for me, but I don't have to worry about being attacked by other crocodiles when handling fish, like a piece of meat to my mouth waiting to be eaten by my mouth.

Not to be missed, I quickly walked around the hill and slowly descended the hillside, above its head.
