The next day.

Needlegold prioritizes exploring the entire oasis, and the environment in the oasis is unexpectedly peaceful and tranquil.

The footprints by the lake are basically gun scorpions and acid lizards. It is easy to speculate that there are only two large herds of spear scorpions and lizards near this oasis.

The lake is undetectable, so it is not known what is hidden in the water.

However, according to the traces left by the herd of beasts near the lake, there seems to be no sign of a fight, which may indicate that there is some threat hidden in the lake.

There are quite a few small creatures.

For example, small lizards, normal scorpions, spiders, and jerboas.

Occasionally, a bird in the sky will land on a coconut tree.

After everyone had discussed, Needlegold began to cut down the stout coconut trees.

After harvesting all the coconut fruits, he also processes the trunk, splits it into dry wood, and uses the core part of the tree to make the body of the short bow.

Purple Di is equipped with potions, and compared to the barren desert, the oasis contains much more materials.

The cangsu is responsible for rubbing the hemp rope.

So far, there are only five people left in the exploration team, two of whom can't even walk on their own, and among the remaining three, Cang is old and Zidi is only a fifteen-year-old girl, so the labor force has been drastically reduced.

But fortunately, there are not many exploration team members, and there are fewer things needed.

By the end of the morning, five short bows had been made by Needlegold. Purple Pedicle finished the preliminary grinding process and began to test the medicinal properties of various materials.

In the afternoon, I went to the lake and dug deep and got a lot of dirt.

Using this clay and fire, Ayosu began to make clay pots.

In the evening, instead of cutting down the coconut trees, Needle Gold climbs to the top of the coconut trees to pick the coconut fruit.

The coconut shell is very hard, and even if it falls to the ground, as long as it does not hit the stone, it will be intact.

A large number of palm fronds were also harvested.

Like the coconut fruit, both the palm leaves and the coconut tree itself exude a strange smell of sulfur.

With the potion of purple di, the first clay pot was made.

At dinner, the clay pot rack succeeded in boiling a pot of hot water over the fire.

Drinking hot water, eating barbecue, and the others all had a strong sense of happiness.

"This is the most extreme enjoyment in the world!" Zidi exclaimed.

On the morning of the third day.

Sou.

A wooden arrow flew out, and a bird in the canopy of a coconut tree flew away in fright.

Needle Gold sighed under the tree.

"The first short bow was made, but I wasn't good at tuning it, and the accuracy of the arrow was poor. ”

After moving his left shoulder, most of the previous injuries have recovered, and it no longer affects needle archery.

Looking at the birds that were gradually flying away, Needle Gold took out a wooden dart and threw it with his senses.

At the moment of throwing, the needle gold activated the heart core, turning the arm into a bear arm. Then, almost instantly, the mutation was canceled.

The dart was incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning, and it struck the bird with swiftness and precision, crashing to the ground with it.

Needle Gold walked over and picked up the carcass of the bird. The wooden dart was inserted deep into the bird's chest, and only the tail of the dart remained in the bird's body, almost piercing and flying out.

Now bird meat is no longer precious, and there is still a lot of lizard meat. But bird feathers are very important and are the source of material for arrow feathers. Bird bones are also useful.

Last night, Needle Gold told himself not to use the demon core in his heart as much as possible.

But without Toba, there is no way to make a good arrow. In addition, the number of birds in the oasis is very scarce, and it cannot be compared with the forest and rainforest areas, so the needle gold cannot easily let go of any flying birds.

Carrying the bird, the needle gold returned to the same place and found a brand new basket woven of rattan.

The basket was filled with mud from the lake.

Breakfast had already been eaten, and the original goal of the needle gold was to dig up the mud and transport it back in baskets.

On the way back, he saw the bird, but the young knight did not let it go and shot it directly.

With a bird in one hand and a basket in the other, the needle returned to the makeshift camp.

Zidi is setting up a tent in the camp.

The tent is rudimentary, with a skeleton made of a few long, slender wooden strips split to create a stable triangular structure, and then a palm leaf is thrown on the surface. Rattan or hemp rope are used to tie the palm leaves and wooden strips together.

The large layers of palm fronds, combined with the fluffy hay on the pitch floor, create a warm and wind-proof private retreat.

It is expected that five such small tents will be erected, one for each of the needle gold, cangsu and others.

Zidi has already built one and is building a second. At this pace, no one will sleep in the open tonight.

"There was an unexpected bonus. "Needle Gold handed the bird to Zidi.

Zidi raised her head and smiled at the needle: "Just put it on the ground, give it, this is the potion I configured." There is almost no smell on the human smell, but it can repel mosquitoes and poisonous ants. ”

Needle Jin took the medicine and checked the situation of white buds and cyanobacteria.

The two men lay motionless on the grass, not far from each other.

Needle Gold leaned over and touched Bai Ya's forehead, and found that his high fever had subsided, and his breathing was smoother than before.

This is a good sign.

Needle Jin was slightly happy in his heart, Bai Ya was better at adjusting the bow than him, but he couldn't be counted on yet.

"Let's hope he wakes up soon. "Needle gold silently blessed in my heart.

If the white buds wake up, they need to be fed water, but they are able to feed themselves. He will eat more and more nutrients than he does now, which will be more conducive to his recovery.

And cyanobacteria ......

He's awake.

He curled up on the ground, still motionless, his expression glazed and his gaze numb, like a realistic puppet.

He is a bronze-level Dou Qi cultivator, and his body foundation is much stronger than Bai Ya's. But he was in a bad state of mind and had no interest in the food that was placed in front of his eyes.

Needle Gold sighed softly.

The young knight is not good at persuasion and comfort, and more importantly, in his heart, he also has a complicated feeling about the blue-green algae that killed his own brother to survive.

Even for the act of comforting the blue-green algae, the needle felt a faint fear.

Is this a kind of forgiveness and indulgence of the self's shadows?

If you continue to indulge, will it become bottomless?

Will he allow his heart to erode his heart, and the noble Templar will not exist, replaced by a dark and depraved cultist?

Carrying the basket of dirt, Needle Gold walked out of the makeshift camp and into an open clearing nearby.

It used to be a meadow, lush and knee-high, but now the grass has been burned.

A fire pit had been dug out of the bare clearing, and Beard was covering it with moist earth around the fire pit.

The building he built was already in shape, like a towering cylinder encircling a fire pit.

"This is the earthen kiln. Firewood is burned underground, here is the grate, divided into two layers, firewood is burned on the lower level, so that the air can circulate in faster, so that the fire burns more vigorously. Cangsu introduced.

The height of the prototype of the earthen kiln was not yet the knee of needle gold, but even a complete earthen kiln was not half the height of needle gold.

Looking down, you immediately see the bottom of the kiln, which is separated by a furnace bridge. The bridge is a round mud brick, about 30 centimeters in diameter, and the thickness is not clear. The mud brick bridges had apparently been dried, with small round holes in them, evenly distributed. As you can imagine, once the kiln is in operation, the dry wood below burns, and the flames emerge from these small round holes to the top of the bridge.

Although this kiln is small and rudimentary, once built, it will be far more stable than a campfire, the flame will burn at a higher temperature, and the practical value will be greater.

"With this clay kiln, we can fire bricks and tiles, and initially build wooden houses with tiles. With more kilns, or more, we can bake bricks out of clay, and then we can build brick houses. Abarsu then explained.

Needle Gold couldn't help but admire: "Scholar Cangmu, is there anything else you don't know?"

Cangsu smiled and shook his head: "I don't know too much knowledge. In fact, this knowledge has only been acquired by me in recent years. I've long wanted to go to the Wilderness Continent and perfect my writings. I've studied a lot of orcs, and it's actually a trick for their lives. Orcs are much more backward than us Terrans, and most of them are still in the tribal era. On the vast wilderness continent, there are very few city-states of the beast race. ”

"So, is this dirt enough?" said Needlegold, pointing to the basket full of mud.

Cang Xu calculated: "It is more than enough to build an earthen kiln, but I am afraid it is not enough to fire a clay pot." I have to bother with Needle Gold, you can go again. ”

Of course, the beard didn't plan to burn any bricks and tiles.

After two teleportations, everyone knows that as long as the teleportation array is there, the houses and camps built on this island have no practical value.

Clay pots are fired because they need containers to store water.

Needle gold, beard, and purple pedicle each have a water bag. But filling these bags with water is not enough to store drinking water.

They need more water, and the more water the safer.

The oasis was just a place to rest, and they had to set off on a journey through the desert.

There is a lot of drinking water in reserve, and even if there is no new source of water to draw water, the crowd can support it for a long time. This makes them resistant to greater risk.

Needle Gold poured all the mud from the lake, and left the clearing with the empty basket.

He did not immediately go to the lake, but sprinkled a circle of potions around the camp.

No threat was found.

For now, this oasis is safe.

But when you go out, it's better to do it with needlework.

Whether it's Zidi or Cangmu, it's hard to resist a sudden attack.

When Needle Gold returned to camp again, Zidi was already setting up her third tent.

The fact that progress is so fast is entirely due to the fact that such private tents are too small.

A few wooden sticks form the frame, which is then draped in layers of pure natural palm leaves. When people get into tents, they will basically have to lie flat, and they will be able to cover their heads and feet. It is very difficult to turn over on the spot, and this all-natural tent is like a green coffin that cuts corners, and the space is very cramped.

Finding out that it was the needle gold that came back, Zidi suddenly relieved herself and started working again.

She was half-kneeling on the ground, her upper body burrowing into the tent, as if adjusting the palm fronds inside. Her lower body was left outside, and her small brown and yellow leather boots were no longer hidden by the magic robe, which was clinging to her hips because of her posture, outlining a touching curve. Seeing this scene, Needle Gold couldn't help but feel a slight wave in his heart.
