There are traces of a bonfire near the entrance to the cave, and it seems that Zhang Le was not the first to come. But looking at the appearance of the ashes, the last time someone came was a long time ago, and it has been at least three months or more.

But since there is human activity, this is a good sign. At the very least, there should be humans nearby. Zhang Le's biggest concern now is where he is, and then why he became like this. The giant sandworm made Zhang Le understand that the current world was very different from the previous world, and there must be something going on that he didn't know.

Zhang Le walked about 3 kilometers in this section just now, and the straight-line distance from the coast is about two kilometers at present. During this trip, Zhang Le also discovered an extremely thin river, or just a stream more than a meter wide. However, the riverbed is about 100 meters wide, and it must be considered a small river in the rainy season. It stands to reason that there must be a lot of animals in places with water sources, but Zhang Le did not find any animals, but occasionally there are insects such as large grasshoppers in the grass. Along the way, what shocked Zhang Le the most was to see the bones of many animals, from bison to hyenas and hares, the bones were as bright as new and extremely weird.

This also made Zhang Le pay attention, so many animals died almost at the same time, it was definitely not suicide, but what kind of creature was encountered. Night comes right away, food and water can be solved with coconuts, but in the wilderness, fire is very necessary. A campfire can drive away a lot of nocturnal creatures, especially snakes, insects, ants, and the like, which is also highlighted in the wilderness survival class. The harm of small creatures is sometimes much more terrible than that of large animals, and this tropical wasteland is full of all kinds of poisonous snakes, and it is fatal to bite oneself at any time.

There was a lot of dead grass nearby, Zhang Le picked it up casually and collected a lot of it, and luckily picked up a thigh-thick dead wood, plus branches, at least two days of fire materials were ready. Since a lot of soft dead grass is collected, some of it is a special flammable material like the reed flower. With such a good ignition material, Zhang Le did not take the troublesome method of drilling wood to make fire, but directly smashed the stone with the stone. Although Zhang Le's body was not flattering, his strength was really not small, and when he smashed it vigorously, sparks splashed everywhere, and after four or five smashes in a row, the withered grass began to burn.

Zhang Le also placed the bonfire at the entrance of the cave, which was easier to burn and at the same time could play a certain defensive role. It's getting dark. Before the last rays of sunlight disappeared, Zhang Le pulled back a pair of horns from a bison bone not far away. This is the horn of the African bison, the tip of the horn is a half-moon curved arc, about fifty centimeters long, and the weight is about fifteen kilograms. Zhang Le tried the feel, holding the position of the half-moon arc with his hand is the most suitable, the other end is too thick, not to mention, there are many uneven bison skulls, but if you take it like this, you can only use this pair of horns as a stick.

Zhang Le slowly added firewood, and about an hour later, a piece of dead wood trunk that was broken by Zhang Le finally burned, Zhang Le was relieved, and the bonfire should not be extinguished tonight. At this time, it was completely dark.

Zhang Le sat cross-legged in the cave, looking out through the campfire. This body has average daytime vision, but its night vision is very good, and it can see objects the size of flies at a distance of about 30 meters. But such good eyesight did not make Zhang Le even happier, but felt creepy.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and all kinds of insects begin to crawl out of the ground, including centipedes, worms, snakes, scorpions, spiders, mole crickets, cockroaches, crickets, shells, etc., etc., and there are many insects that Zhang Le doesn't know, except for the crickets that Zhang Le played with when he was a child, which is a little cute, other insects are simply a collection of Zhang Le's childhood nightmares. What's more, these bugs are all several times larger than the same kind that Zhang Le has seen before, and the enlarged version of the bugs has become cruel and aggressive in the dark night, and the creaking exoskeleton rubbing sound makes people squeaking one after another. When a bug is killed, a swarm of bugs will come up and eat the corpse, and then there will be another fight.

At this time, Zhang Lecai was really glad that he had a bonfire and a solid cave. When many insects felt the heat a few meters away from the cave, they immediately turned around and crawled into the distance. The correct and rational use of fire is indeed one of the main differences between humans and animals.

But this emotion was not over, and a moth the size of a palm flew towards the fire. As soon as the fat white-winged moth plunged into the fire, its wings were burned off, and then it began to churn in the fire. Fortunately, the main body of the campfire was a few thick logs, otherwise the campfire would have been overturned by this powerful moth.

A burst of the smell of roasted meat came, and Zhang Le inhaled the big nostrils that were not covered by his nose, and saliva flowed down. Zhang Le didn't know how long he hadn't eaten meat, and after smelling the smell, a strong urge to eat made Zhang Le pick out the half-burnt moth with a branch, and then the moth was quickly sent into his mouth.

It's delicious, it's delicious, it's really delicious. Zhang Le knows that he is very hungry, and hunger can amplify the deliciousness of food, making the originally average taste food delicious. However, Zhang Le felt that even if hunger was taken into account, the taste of this moth was undoubtedly something he had never tasted, and it was much more delicious than any food he had eaten in the past twenty years.

Not only did Zhang Le think so, but the smell of moths also attracted nearby bugs. A few centipedes thirty or forty centimeters long circled around the fire a few meters away, but it was clear that fire was one of the greatest tools of human use, and that the natural fear of fire in non-human organisms was in their genes.

Zhang Le, who wiped his mouth, was still unsatisfied, and looked nearby again, expecting another moth. Zhang Le's luck was apparently good, this moth belonged to a population, and the campfire at night was like a delicious deadly poison to the moth. A few more moths flew in this direction.

After Zhang Le ate ten moths, he finally felt full, you know, a moth weighs three to four pounds, and ten of them have three or four catties, which is all real meat. But the world is so dramatic, when you're full, there are people who give you delicious food to eat, you can't eat it, and you have to stuff it.

Zhang Le was uncomfortable and wanted to cry, if it wasn't for Zhang Le to stabilize the bonfire, these deadly moths would really destroy it. The only thing Zhang Le can do now is to keep adding firewood to the bonfire to make the fire burn more vigorously, and at the same time, he has to pull out the roasted moths, which are all food, and it would be a pity to waste them.

There is more and more food, the smell is getting stronger, and there are more and more insects of all kinds on the periphery of the cave. If it weren't for the barrier of the bonfire, Zhang Le was sure that these insects would rush up, not to mention that these moths were food, but themselves, I am afraid they would all become scum.

I could only continue to add firewood, but the firewood was limited, Zhang Le turned back again, and less than a quarter of the firewood was left. Just now, in order to deal with the moths, it was a little fierce. Now the moth swarm is basically gone, and only sporadic moths fly over. Zhang Le estimated that at least two hundred moths had already thrown themselves into the fire, and Zhang Le pulled sixty or seventy of them into the cave, most of which became fuel, and a small number fell to the ground below the mouth of the cave.
