After parking the boat, Ethan walked around the beach, at first he wanted to set up his camp on the beach by the sea, but after observing for a while, he realized that it was too close to the beach. It may be that the high tide will flood the rest place that you have built with great difficulty, so you have to go inside for a while.

"It's nice here. ”

Looking back, it happened to be a small dirt slope, and it was also a certain distance from the woods, so as to avoid suddenly jumping out of the woods and catching yourself from reacting.

The slightly higher terrain also prevents the sea water from spreading up at high tide.

"I'm going to have to build a shed. ”

Ethan looked up at the sky, the originally clear sky didn't know when dark clouds began to appear, and it seemed that it would rain in the next second.

If he couldn't make a shelter from the wind and rain in the shortest possible time, he would have to go back to the ship and rest.

After being at sea for so long, he really wanted to sleep soundly on land now.

Even exploring the island has to be put aside for the time being.

"Fortunately, in the dark world, I learned how to make tents from simple materials. ”

With Ethan's current strength, he couldn't easily cut down a large tree, then chop the wood into the materials he needed with dazzling swordplay, and then build a perfect wooden house with amazing craftsmanship.

His current strength only allowed him to collect and carry some slightly stronger branches, and the thickness of his wrists was already the limit.

For the roof of the shed, he found some relatively wide and heavy leaves, and then peeled off the bark from the branches and rolled them into ropes. Combine all these messes to make a simple tent.

Ethan repaired back and forth, and finally looked at the strange-shaped tent in front of him, and could only smile helplessly: "It's good to be able to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

I took a picture of it, although the tent is not very beautiful, but it is still very sturdy, and it should not be blown down by the wind...... Bar......

Inside the tent, Ethan stretched out on the 'bed' made of large leaves, wondering where he should start exploring the island tomorrow.

"Let's take a look around the island. ”

If possible, Ethan wanted to explore every inch of the island, circling the island and then approaching the center in a circle, so that he could walk through every part of the island and increase his chances of finding the magic stone.

But he also knew that this was not an option, because it was too much of a waste of time.

Many adventurers who find an island again always have the first choice to go into the most central area to explore, and it seems that having the most valuable things in the center of the island has become a universal rule.

"It must be wrong, otherwise the man told me that almost all the islands have magic stones, and it would have become common knowledge that everyone knows. ”

But the reality is that an old sailor like Wood, who has been drifting at sea for several years, doesn't necessarily know this.

"Let's take our time, first go around, select a few directions of the standard reference, and then choose one direction to explore inside. ”

The exclusion in one direction and one direction is a little worse than the way of moving closer to the center in a circle, but it is already the most practical way at the moment.

"It's still a bit of a hassle to do this kind of thing by myself, so it would be nice if I could have a helper. ”

People are always social creatures, and when he first went to sea, Ethan had just left the village and had been with many people for several years, and when he first went out to sea, everything was new and he didn't feel anything good.

Later, there was the pressure of survival, and he found that the sea was not calm, and he also had an urgent need to improve his strength, so he didn't have the energy to think about these things for a while.

Now that the strength has improved, the safety has been guaranteed to a certain extent, the pressure to survive has suddenly become much less, and the previous adventure with Issandra and Zur for a while, accustomed to the presence of teammates, suddenly turned back into a person, it is inevitable to feel a little lonely.

"In my case, it's hard to find teammates. ”

Tossing and turning, Ethan fell asleep to the sound of the rain that slowly became louder, in which he had many teammates, and a very large ship, a group of friends lived happily on the ship, and after adventures again and again, he finally found the endless land of legend......

When Ethan opened his eyes, the sun had already risen, and the warm sunlight had baked his humble tent hot, and the rain that had been left of the previous night was gone.

Walking out of the tent and washing up with the rainwater that had been specially stored last night, Ethan remembered his previous dream.

"Why is Lao Tzu's boat full of men in my dream? Didn't even a girl fool me? What kind of good ship is that!"

Angrily throwing the leaves in his hand to the ground, Ethan put on the armor that Chassi had given him.

He wore this armor for a long time except when he first returned to the Sea of Calm, and he didn't wear it since, but he took it out for scrubbing and maintenance every day.

Armor, even if it is a light armor, is not so comfortable to wear.

At the same time, Ethan finally understood why medieval knights would wear armor with a layer of robes on the outside, and also cover their entire backs with cloaks.

"I used to think that the cloak was just for decoration, but it wasn't......"

One of the things that metal armor can't avoid is that it absorbs heat in direct sunlight, and if you don't use a cloak and battle coat to cover it, it's a moving metal oven in slightly hot weather.

In winter, the metal will absorb the cold air, and if it is not wrapped in a thick coat, it will become a mobile freezer again.

The suit of armor that Chasi gave himself did not have accessories such as robes and cloaks, so Ethan was only wearing it for a long time and couldn't stand the roasting, so he had to take it off.

This time Ethan would wear it, because he couldn't know what danger existed on this small island, so it would be better to wear all the equipment just in case.

At the same time, except for the initial walk around the island, most of the island is densely wooded, with leaves to protect it from direct sunlight, and Ethan doesn't have to worry about his armor turning into an oven.

"Alternatively, consider attaching a magic array to your armor that regulates the temperature. ”

Insisting on walking around the island, Ethan, who felt that the armor was getting hotter and hotter, had to adjust his course and choose to walk in the shade of the trees as much as possible.

Fortunately, the island is not particularly large, and Ethan is not weak in stamina and footsteps now, so he quickly walked around the island and returned to his camp.

"The island is not big, and I only walked around it in the middle of the night. While it's still dark, you can explore the woods. ”

By the way, he also needed to find some food, and he had already seen some fruit trees along the way. It was a specialty of this world, and he had this fruit in the supplies he had exchanged for from the guild before.

The name of this fruit is fruit, and it is a coconut-like fruit, which is smaller than a coconut, with a green skin, very fragile, and can knock a crack with a light smash. The interior is hollow, and inside it is stored with fresh water with a botanical aroma.

In addition to the clear water prepared by themselves, this fruit is the main source of water in this world, and almost every adventurer's ship will stock up on as much fruit as possible.

The water in the bucket has been stored for a long time, and if there is no water purification stone, it will rot and become undrinkable, but this fruit can be stored for a very long time.

In addition, Ethan guessed that the water in this fruit also contained enough vitamins, because in this barren world, many adventurers relied on salted fish jerky and improvised seafood for food, and the intake of green vegetables was very small, but there were no various navigation diseases that he knew, and the biggest reason was the existence of these fruits.

Ethan didn't bring much fruit with him because he could use water-making before, but now he accidentally found a lot on this island, and he could fill a warehouse of his ship.

"I wonder if there's anything else?"

In the days that followed, Ethan's life became very regular again. I got up every day to wash up and eat, and then I started to explore the island according to the previous plan, collecting food that I knew - if I didn't know it, I took a sample and prepared to bring it back to the guild to ask.

"If you made a mistake, you should buy a book of all kinds of known foods and something. ”

After all, Ethan doesn't have much experience, he is still exploring many things now, and there are many rules in this world that are different from his previous life, so it's normal to think of it for a while. Fortunately, he always remembers his mistakes and avoids them next time.

As he explored, Ethan slowly approached the heart of the island.

There's nothing strange about the heart of the island, just a small dirt slope that looks a bit desolate compared to the greenery that surrounds it, and there is not even a single grass.

Ethan had been here a few times before, but he had never found anything strange.

"Is it underground?"

If that's the case, it's troublesome, Ethan doesn't have any digging tools with him, can he use his long sword to dig up the earth?

Just as Ethan was still hesitating whether to continue exploring other unknown areas first, or digging here first, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the woods in front of him, and several people walked out of the woods.

Ethan looked up and saw that there were acquaintances among them.

It was Rodney, one of the two people who was rescued by himself, and he would leave the island of Stated early, just because he noticed that Rodney seemed to have bad intentions towards him.

Sure enough, the next thing this guy did perfectly confirmed Ethan's judgment.

"Ha, it's you! You're so unlucky to be bumped into here!" Rodney didn't seem to expect to bump into Ethan, but he was stunned for two seconds before immediately looking excited. "Captain, this is the boy! he has the battle stone he got from Wood!"
