Chapter 8: Exploring a Desert Island

Waking up the next morning, Yi Han had a simple bite to eat and then planned to start exploring the island. On the first day, he just climbed the hill for a quick glimpse. In fact, the situation of the entire island is unknown.

He complained that he didn't study well and didn't have a good brain. He couldn't tell when and where he was when he was by the sea, and how the tides were.

The mystery of his entire island has not yet been revealed, and it is not known if there is danger. The first time I explored Yihan, I was very well prepared.

First of all, he is wearing a sunhat on his head, a sturdy jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and a jacket over it. Although the temperature on the island was a little hot, he didn't dare to show his bare skin until he knew the situation.

In addition, he has a mountain-opening axe in his hand. A belt around his waist, a scimitar pinned to one side, and a kettle tied to the other. On the back is a hiking bag with prepared food. The reason why I got such a big bag is that I want to bring it back if I have a harvest along the way.

After dressing up for a while, Yi Han took out his mobile phone and looked at his current appearance. Although he was in a worrying situation now, after seeing his appearance, Yi Han couldn't help laughing.

This outfit is a little nondescript, and even a little funny, reminds him of Robinson, the protagonist of "Robinson Crusoe".

However, Robinson's bad luck was that he was trapped on the island for decades and almost died alone, and he didn't want to stay on the island for the rest of his life like Robinson.

After packing up and locking the goods, Yi Han began to walk towards the hill. The area on his side is not large, and most of the entire island is on the other side of the hill. To get a full view of the island, you have to climb over the hill to the other side.

……

Although the road from the van to the foot of the mountain is not far, it is not smooth, and there are many trees to block it. These trees are not very tall, about one or two feet. However, it may be because there is no one all year round, all of them are very thick, and there are many trees surrounded by one person or even several people. Some trees are even too thick to block the way up the mountain, and sometimes you have to go around.

Therefore, Yi Han's journey along the way is not in a straight line, but almost in twists and turns. Although the scene on the mountain and the scene on the other side of the mountain are not clear, I have a little more understanding of the situation on this part of the road.

On the first day of going up the mountain, the desire to survive may be fierce, and Yi Han quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. But the second time I climbed the mountain, it felt noticeably different. The speed was half as slow as the first day, and there were many weeds, thorns, and trees in the way. I don't know if I ignored these issues on the first day or didn't care about them at all.

The second time he went up the mountain, Yi Han walked very carefully and explored very carefully. However, along the way, he found nothing dangerous, but found some wild fruits and several other wild vegetables that seemed harmless and edible. However, whether it can be eaten or not needs to be further determined. He collected a few specimens and put them in his backpack. I'm going to go back and experiment. Without verification, he did not dare to eat it rashly.

In addition to all kinds of wild fruits and wild vegetables, there are some unknown birds and beasts.

Along the way, Yi Han found several beasts, but these beasts were not large, they were about the size of a domestic cat; Some are smaller, about the same as mice.

Apart from these small animals, Yihan does not find large wildlife or dangerous species such as venomous snakes. In this way, there is really no danger in this area.

I don't know if it's because there are no big creatures on this island, or if he hasn't encountered them yet. Yi Han prays better no.

If you need to get food from the island, these small animals will do, and there are not many of them. If you have large creatures, you may not be able to handle it.

Although the road up the mountain was slow, fortunately there was no danger. Of course, there wasn't much to gain. Except for some unknown wild fruits and wild vegetables in the bag, nothing else was found.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Yi Han rested for a while, recovered his strength, and then continued to set off and walk down the mountain. He didn't dare to delay, and if the delay was too long, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the car before dark.

The hill is not high, about 100 zhang. Although it took a little longer to go up the mountain. But when I went down the mountain, it was much faster. Because the other side of the hill is pretty much the same as it was just now. The scenery is no different except for the trees and the creatures you just encountered.

It took about half an hour or so for Yi Han to finally descend to the foot of the mountain.

On the other side of the mountain is a golden sandy beach. On this side of the hill, however, there is no beach in sight, but a small plain. The trees near the foot of the mountain are not as dense as those on the mountain, and are somewhat loose. Through the gap in the forest, you can see the endless black earth in the distance.

Maybe the island has never been touched by humans, and the ground is full of rotting branches and leaves. The moment Yi Han's feet stepped on the ground at the foot of the mountain, it was a little soft.

After walking for about a few minutes, Yi Han walked through the small woods. You can see the situation in the distance more clearly.

The clearing underfoot is basically devoid of trees, but there are a few scattered ones. There weren't many trees, but they were overgrown with weeds, many knee-high. At first glance, I saw several different ones. It seems that there is a lot more diversity of plants here than in the mountains.

Looking at the time, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, nearly five hours have passed, he set off at eight o'clock, and now it is close to a little. For safety, Yi Han had to return to the car before seven o'clock, and according to the calculation of one and a half hours to go back, he still had more than four hours or so to explore.

This side of the mountain is not small, and four hours is enough time for him to explore a small area. He decided to choose a direction to explore first.

In order not to get lost, and also to have an impression of the area explored, Yi Han picked up many branches of about one meter and carried them behind him. I'm going to stay and do signpostings.

……

Time passed slowly. In four hours, Yi Han explored an area within a radius of about three miles.

Because of the fact that there are a lot of weeds that affect his speed, and because he is careful of the hidden dangers in the grass and looking for usable plants, his speed is only about half of his usual walking.

After this round of exploration, Yi Han found a lot of good things. Some of the plants are suspected to be herbs, others resemble dogtail grass, and some seeds the size of wheat grains may be used as food.

He also found some insects as well as pests on the grass. Although it was different from what he knew. It might be a good taste, too. But all this needs to be known after experimentation.

Look at an area that is already full of branches. That's all there is for today, and the rest of the area can only be explored in the future.

It's just the beginning, and counting the time back and forth, Yi Han doesn't have much time to explore. And as the area gets bigger, there will be less and less time.

However, this was just the beginning, and Yi Han did not dare to spend the night in the wild. If it can be determined that this island is really not dangerous in the next few days, Yi Han will make a small forward camp, so that it will be convenient to explore later.
