Barbarian peasants were not very quick at cutting wood, and with a stone axe, they could cut up to 3 pieces of wood per hour. It took 21 barbarian peasants 1 hour and 35 minutes to scrape together 100 pieces of wood to make a ferry. And to make some small rafts that can go out to sea to fish, more wood is needed.

Using this time, Qin Xiaobai planned to explore the island where he was located and whether there were any other players.

The island is relatively flat, with occasional small yellow-brown slopes, and the island is full of loose subtropical jungle trees, and a faint white mist covers the island, which is not very visible from a little distance.

There is no particularly high dirt slope here, and even if you climb the treetops of the big trees, you can't see far, and the field of vision is hazy.

It can be difficult to explore other players' camps in this kind of jungle. And it's easy to get lost on a long walk in the jungle, repeat searches, and waste time. Also, you can encounter an accident at any time and be attacked by dangerous beasts lurking in the bushes and grass.

Qin Xiaobai chose to explore the whole island from the coastline with a wide field of vision.

In addition to seeing the other players' camps and farmers directly, there is a stupid way to find out how big the island really is.

Although there may be 1~8 players on each beginner island, an island with 8 players is definitely 8 times larger than an island with only 1 player, so that each player can have the same size of territory space to spread out their camp.

Knowing how big the island is an indirect idea of how many players the island will be placed by the system. Looking along the coastline will undoubtedly give you the shortest time to know the size of the island and the number of players it can hold.

Qin Xiaobai carried his big wooden stick and ran forward on the coast of the island.

The island's coastline is full of swamps, lush reeds, sandy beaches and small bays.

As he ran, he made a note of the island's coastal topography.

Each of the terrains in Empires has a different purpose.

The beach has a wide view and is the best place to grab the beach and climb 6. If the enemy uses transport rafts to transport troops, the best option for the ships is to rush directly to the beach and board the 6, and the soldiers jump onto the sand to fight as a whole army.

The reeds are easy to hide ambushes. If the enemy army landed here, it would be easy to be ambushed.

The swampy terrain is easy to sink and drown soldiers, and this terrain is a disaster for all soldiers on both sides of the enemy, so they will avoid it as much as possible.

Harbors, in which it is often possible to build a ferry port to help protect the ferry.

On the coast of jungle islands, these four types of terrain are the most common.

Qin Xiaobai spent 1 hour, traversed the long coastline, ran around the island, and returned to the position where he came out. The island was a little smaller than he expected, and it was a two-man sized island, with an oval shape, about 4 kilometers wide and 8 kilometers long, shaped like a peanut.

That is, in addition to him, there is another player who is also building on this island. Your base is on one end and the other player is on the other. Having mastered this basic situation, Qin Xiaobai had a bottom in his heart.

In the short term, your own camp is completely safe.

In one-on-one situations, no player can pose a threat to him. It doesn't matter if you're an amateur or a professional player.

At present, there are a handful of players on the Empire population list with 22 or 23 barbarian peasants.

And because Qin Xiaobai's peasants stopped hunting, all cut down wood, and had no food to continue to recruit barbarians, there were only 21, 2 less than the highest. But this gap is not obvious, that is, the difference between killing one more beast and killing one less.

If Qin Xiaobai kills the two big sheep and one small sheep that were kept in captivity in his camp, the number of farmers can directly rush to 27 in a short period of time, far more than most players.

But he resisted the impulse, the ranking of "Empire" in the first day or two is not important, what matters is the long-term strength.

Other top professional masters, if they capture sheep, pigs, cows, and horses, which are four animals that can be kept in captivity, they may not be willing to kill them. Now "Empire" is on the top 100 players in the world, and none of them are the names of professional masters he knows, and these people are obviously hiding their strength. The Stone Age is far from the time to explode, and it is easy to become a target when the scenery is too much at this time.

So Qin Xiaobai was not worried about the safety of his camp.

No one would bring a horde of barbarians to the peasant uprising, raid someone else's camp, and loot supplies. Especially the camp where up to 21 barbarian peasants gathered. Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 will only kill both sides. Unless the two sides are mortal enemies, no one will make such a choice.

Qin Xiaobai looked at the time, it was 8:30 in the morning, and there were still 35 minutes to gather enough 100 wood to build a ferry.

It's time to go and see how strong this neighbor is. I hope it's not too weak, otherwise hehe, we'll be embarrassed to be too polite in the future. Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, robbery is the best way to get rich overnight. He is not easy to kill, but when he encounters "fat sheep players", he will occasionally use them as an appetizer.

Qin Xiaobai danced with a big wooden stick, used the big stick to break through the dense grass, and walked in the jungle easily.

After knowing the topography of the entire island, he already knew where the neighbor's camp would be. As long as the other family does not run away from the place and builds a camp indiscriminately, I believe it will be found soon.

Walked through large areas of sparse jungle and uneven mounds.

He gradually approached the most likely place in the neighboring camp.

Qin Xiaobai's movements became cautious and slow, holding the big stick tightly with one hand, his ears "erected", listening to every movement around him. The roar of wild beasts in the distance, the sound of the waves, the sound of the wind blowing through the branches and blades of grass, the sounds of nature.

Finally, he heard an unusual wailing and hissing sound.

That's the sound of wild deer being hunted! Mixed with the screams, there were messy footsteps, the excited cries of a few barbarian peasants.

The voices were all too familiar to him.

He's found his right home!

Qin Xiaobai's whole body suddenly became nervous, this is the nervousness of excitement, the instinctive reaction of the body, which can effectively improve the sharpness of action and the astonishment of perception.

This also means that he has the initiative to observe.

Following the location of the screaming sound, Qin Xiaobai quietly sneaked over. With the help of the pine woods and the dense grass everywhere, he could easily hide himself in the shadows and observe.

Soon, Qin Xiaobai found the other party's camp.

A large number of barbarian peasants were moving around the camp and beyond. Some are killing deer and cutting meat, some are gathering berries, some are cutting wood, and some are driving wooden stakes, as if they were going to build a fence as a defensive wall.

The entire camp was centered around a Stone Age thatched hut, which had been cleared within a hundred meters, all the weeds had been removed, bundles were piled up in a corner of the camp, and trees had been cut down. The campfire in front of the hut was surrounded by a small circle of stones, and the deerskin was hung on a clothes pole made of branches. Except for the fresh bones, there was not a single old skeleton left over from yesterday on the ground, and all the animal bones did not know where they had been cleaned by the owner of the camp.

The whole camp looked empty, tidy, and dry, and it had begun to take on the model of a regular small village.

Qin Xiaobai was a little surprised, this camp was built well, the peasants had an orderly division of labor, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner. Very orthodox upgrade stream, very particular about the overall overall strength.

Surprised, he was also a little ashamed.

Looking at this clean and dry camp, his camp is considered a pure "barbarian" camp, full of messy grass and bones, and there is no comparison with this place at all.

In fact, this is also to blame for his focus on strength, his mind is almost all kinds of game data, and he has never thought about beautifying his camp environment. Moreover, no professional gamer has ever seriously discussed the issue of living in a Stone Age environment.

Qin Xiaobai sighed for a second, and became even more interested in this camp. Avoiding the barbarian peasants who were gathering berries everywhere, he circled the camp to take a closer look.

went around in a whole circle.

He got more information.

Altogether 21 barbarian peasants. 5 for cutting, 4 for gathering, 9 for logging, and 3 for fencing. Yes, the owner of this camp has some perfectionist and clean tendencies, so he will tidy up the camp so neatly and cleanly. And have a high sense of self-defense, otherwise it will not give priority to building defense. Although it is still a little short of the first-class level, it is at least the level that only professional gamers can reach now. It's a pity that the supplies are all hidden in the thatched hut, and I can't see how many supplies this camp has in reserve, otherwise I would be able to know the strength of the players who built this camp. ”

The only thing that puzzled Qin Xiaobai was that he didn't see the players in this camp.

Isn't it online? Or leave the camp and explore the depths of the jungle?

"Oops, don't just run to step on my camp!"

As soon as a trace of bad thought surfaced in Qin Xiaobai's heart, he suddenly heard the sound of extremely light and subtle footsteps pressing the grass behind him. The voice was so subtle and light that it was difficult to perceive, and if it weren't for his unusual sensitivity to sound discrimination, he wouldn't have felt it at all.

He was startled and quickly turned his head to look at the jungle behind him.
