"Squeak!" Jumping off the last platform, Ma Shuo finally got back to the ground. Crawl out of the humanoid snow pit and lie on all fours on the snow.

Looking around at the snow-covered forest, he stood still and fell into a momentary hesitation.

Especially when he looked up at the mountain that had just come down, he found that the mountain was so majestic, with strange rocks and majestic and heavy like a giant.

And the cave at a height of 100 meters is only equivalent to the feet of a towering giant.

The map I bought in the Silent City depicts a topography map of 200 kilometers deep in the Rainbow Forest. With a much stronger memory than ordinary people, he forcibly memorized all the places in the forest with names and surnames in his mind.

But this mountain, which is at least 3,000 meters high, has no record or impression.

Thinking like this, he didn't know that it had taken him a few days to go deeper into the forest from Guogai Mountain for more than 100 kilometers.

Beyond the scope of the map depiction, there are no subject matter marked on the map in the West.

All the way east, north, or south?

Because the trees block the cold wind, the temperature is much higher than on the platform now. Ma Shuo stood in place and touched the pimple behind him, and shook his head a little irritably.

Far away from Guogai Mountain, even farther away from the Silent City range. In the real sense, Ma Shuo was the only one left, turned to the south, and took the first step in the snow.

The pimple on the back is indeed a star, but it is only touched or pressed, but it does not feel at all as if it does not exist.

Perhaps this is an important reason why he wore a black iron suit before, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

After going deep into the forest, Ma Shuo first searched for various conifers.

Because he could not make fire for the time being, and he did not have pots and bowls and other containers, he could only rely on the fruits of pine and cypress trees to satisfy his hunger.

As for meat and mushrooms, don't even think about it.

At this time, Ma Shuo regretted that if he could fix an iron pot on his body at that time, the types of food he could fill his stomach would definitely increase many times at once.

It's a pity that there is no if, and we can only pin our hopes on the existing conditions.

Thankfully, the forest may be lacking in other things, but there is an abundance of tree species.

After walking less than 100 meters, there is a coniferous forest in front of me, and all kinds of pine nuts and hazelnuts are hung full.

Since Ma Shuo didn't have any tools to carry, he simply sat on the tree and started eating.

One tree and two trees, when you are thirsty, grab a handful of snow and stuff it in your mouth. If someone sees it at this time, they think that it is an ape that has been hungry for a long time, and is doing everything possible to fill his stomach.

After cleaning up the fruits on five or six trees, Ma Shuo jumped off the branches and landed on all fours again, and quickly ran farther away.

The snow was too thick to stand, and in order to increase the area of force, he had to maintain this strange posture, otherwise it would be difficult for him to move at all.

"Rattan, wood and leaves, these are relatively easy to find. He leaped up on all fours, climbed a bare broad-leaved tree, and tied the hanging rattan to his body.

While searching around again, he couldn't help but mutter, "But what about the stones buried deep under the snow, and the most important salt?"

The dagger and the bag of salt, I don't know where they fell. With the gold crystal asbestos on the gloves, he didn't lack cutting tools.

But if there is a long-term shortage of salt, it is a big problem that must be taken seriously.

"Let's hope there are natural salt wells in the forest!" Ma Shuo sighed as he looked at the still slightly gloomy sky before jumping onto another dry giant tree.

"Click, click, click!" The branch, which was as thick as a child's arm, fell on the snow, and Ma Shuo put away the frost and jumped down, and began to dig the pit quickly with both hands.

Stones, that is an indispensable and important resource for him now.

Two hours later, at the edge of the platform at the entrance of the cave, "Huhuhu!" threw up two or three piles of seemingly useless garbage.

Then, Ma Shuo's figure then rushed up, carrying the garbage back to the cave in three parts, and the sky was almost completely dark.

Before the night fell, the cave was lit up with an orange-red fire, adding a touch of warmth to the silence and snow.

The next morning, the sun finally rose in the east as usual, and Ma Shuo, dressed in a strange costume, walked out of the cave.

On the first day of officially becoming a wild man, Ma Shuo actually felt pretty good.

I touched the black iron coat on my body, and inside it was two layers of clothes wrapped in vine bark and leaves. Although this kind of dress is very nondescript, Ma Shuo doesn't care about beauty at all now.

As long as you can keep warm, everything else doesn't matter.

It's just that the whole back is raised high and arc, like a disabled person with a deformed spine.

Coupled with the sack woven from the bark of a vine tree on his back, he looks like a wild man who has never left the forest.

Tilting his head and closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, the corners of Ma Shuo's mouth curled slightly.

The next moment, he bowed forward and took a leap forward, landing steadily on the lower platform.

The clothes are ready, and there is a place for food for the time being. Next, he needs to stock up on resources and find as much salt as he can that he lacks the most.

Just ten minutes after he left the cave, dozens of snow-white figures flew from a distance, hovering high in the air for a long time, and quickly landed on the platform where the cave was located.

Rattan is still indispensable, whether the outer skin is kneaded and woven into clothes, or the inner stem is used to heat the fire.

Or they can be stored for other purposes, which are the most important multi-purpose materials for Ma Shuo, who is extremely scarce in resources.

After coming to the pine and cypress forest, eating a full meal, and filling the sacks, Ma Shuo continued to walk along the foot of the mountain to the southeast.

I didn't feel anything yesterday, but today it's been half a day away from the cave, and there is not a single animal around.

If his breath hadn't recovered, it would be a piece of walking food. Even if it is cold in the severe winter, jackals, tigers and leopards do not hibernate.

But except for the occasional gust of wind, there was not even a shadow of an animal.

The silence around him reminded him of the green realm. But the biting cold wind blowing in his face instantly pulled him back to reality.

So the further he goes, the more vigilant he is in Ma Shuo's heart. The obvious abnormality, like the silence before the storm.

But until the sun hung high in the sky, the expected anomaly never appeared. Although it was a little inexplicable, time did not allow him to linger longer.

When Ma Shuo carried a granite slab on his back and returned to the platform to prepare to climb, his ears unconsciously moved a few times.

Immediately stopped his movements and looked up, and on the edge of the hundred-meter-high cave platform, a snow-white bird was tilting its head to look at him.

"Bird?" Doesn't look like a small bird, not much worse than an adult wild goose, right?

Just as Ma Shuo was fantasizing about the slate barbecue, in a trance, he only heard the white bird chirp twice, and dozens or hundreds of similar heads were immediately exposed around him.

Just when Ma Shuo was stunned, all the white birds fluttered their wings and flew high, drawing a circle in the air and rushing towards him at high speed.

"Damn it!"

People and birds both want to eat each other.
