Chapter 5: Preparing for the Long Journey

"I need food with a longer shelf life" Since deciding to go out to find humans, the white wolf began to prepare for this expedition, the first thing to consider is food and water, although his hunting ability is strong, but there is still a certain randomness, if you can't catch the prey, it is very likely to be hungry, not to mention that even if you do it, the prey has to be dealt with, it is very troublesome, if you don't deal with it, you can only eat raw meat, and the white wolf doesn't want to eat raw meat anymore.

There are two ways to extend the shelf life of meat products, one is pickling, the other is smoking, the white wolf has not found a salt well now, there is no way to make salt and cured meat, only the second method can be chosen.

To make bacon, you first need a shelf, which should be high enough to ensure that the bacon does not come into contact with the charcoal burning underneath, and also to ensure that the weight of the column used as a support is strong enough, otherwise it will be troublesome to smoke until the shelf collapses halfway.

In order to make a frame with sufficient support capacity, the white wolf did not work hard, although the rotten wood that fell to the ground looked trustworthy, but in fact it was brittle. If you want to make a qualified shelf, you must want to break the branches from the tree that is still alive, in order to get the branches, the white wolf first planned to use the easiest way, climb to the tree and fold one down, but the white wolf who lost the human body found that he had no way to use the human tree climbing experience, there was no way, the white wolf could only slowly learn to climb the tree from scratch, after three or four days of hard work, the white wolf had roughly mastered the trick of climbing the tree.

The first is to run before climbing the tree, so that you can climb the first step much easier, the second is to be good at using the claws, if the claws are deeply embedded in the inside of the tree, it will be much easier to climb, and finally try to put your body only against the trunk, so that you can better control your center of gravity.

In this way, the white wolf climbed up a stout tree and pressed all his weight on its branches. With a crunching sound, the branches snapped, and the white wolf fell freely without fear, and then landed firmly on the ground.

There are branches, the next thing is to break off the branches and leaves, the white wolf's claws are not good, you can only use your mouth to bite them off one by one, fortunately, the white wolf's bite muscles are very strong, the teeth are also quite sharp, and it didn't take long for a bare stick to appear in front of the white wolf.

The white wolf made a total of seven of these sticks, and he carefully stood the three sticks crossed together as a scaffold, and pressed the bottom of the upright sticks with a stone to ensure that the sticks would not fall apart due to the slightest force. The white wolf made another set of such cross brackets, placed them next to the first group, and finally put the remaining sticks on top of the two brackets, and the two ends of the sticks fit exactly the intersection of the brackets, so that a bacon rack was complete.

The next thing was much easier, the white wolf put the meat on the shelf, found some dry firewood and lit it under the shelf, and put a lot of damp rotten wood into the burning firewood, and the rotten wood that was not fully burned immediately came out of smoke and covered the meat.

The next thing to do is to keep adding firewood and damp rotten wood dust, and waiting.

There is no need to worry about water, there are many large and small lakes nearby, and the white wolf has not been idle in the past six months, and has successfully used water magic, he can now make his own water and drink it through water magic, ensuring 100% pure water, although it is not pure and natural, but no pollution is absolutely guaranteed.

"It's really nice to be in another world, so you don't need such a thing as a water cup directly, just make your own water and drink it when you're thirsty" The white wolf lay on the ground and looked at the bacon in the distance, while summoning a small water ball in his mouth with water elemental magic, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

"It would be nice if there was a meat element, and when the time comes, I will directly summon the meat out, and there will be no need to hunt" Lying on the ground, the white wolf yawned.

Half a year has not been in vain, he has been able to use all five elemental magic, namely water, fire, earth, thunder and wind, and now the white wolf can be sure that this is a world of swords and magic of the Western fantasy type.

"Fortunately, it's not an oriental fantasy, if you want me to cultivate the truth, I can't really do it if I retreat for hundreds or thousands of years, so I have to hold me out of depression" The white wolf knows very well that he is not a good material for cultivation, although he is very patient, but he is also the type who can't be idle.

"I don't know how the people in those fantasy novels have been in retreat for so long, don't they feel lonely...?" The white wolf, who has not had a communication partner for half a year, is now lonely, even if seeing humans will bring him danger, he can't wait to find humans, after all, he knows how to communicate with humans.

At present, only the runes have been condensed on the fire element, and the white wolf has also tried to refer to the fire element runes to condense the runes of other elements, but except for a half-finished rune condensed by the earth element that he is best at, several other elements have failed, but this proves that this rune does not need things like heaven and earth treasures to be made, but it takes a lot of trying, and has a deep understanding of the overlap combination between the lines.

"I now probably know the power system of this world" Realizing the power of the runes, the white wolf understands that whether the knowledge of the rune structure is rich directly determines whether the runes he makes are strong or not, and the power of the runes is the biggest component of combat power.

In other words, this is actually a world of knowledge and technology, and whoever understands runes more deeply, who can make stronger runes, and who can put these runes together better, will be stronger. If a person has obtained extremely advanced knowledge of rune construction, then he can improve his strength in a very short period of time, and he does not need to go through the trouble of cultivating and getting a bunch of heavenly treasures and other things for himself to eat.

Of course, it takes time to learn knowledge, and it is impossible to become stronger in an instant, just like the white wolf is still thinking about the connection between the lines and the lines, and I don't know if there are any spells such as knowledge empowerment in this world, if there is, it is the biggest bug.

"Well, if these two lines are connected together, there will be incompatibility, and they will weaken each other, and the weakening range is about 75% to 80%, and these two rotating circles can increase the running speed of nearby links, and the increased speed is inversely proportional to the distance between the two of them, the farther away the smaller? But if the running speed is too fast, the whole link will burn out........ Hmm, it smells so good!" the white wolf, who was concentrating on constructing the runes, raised his head, and the bacon was ready to emit an alluring luster and an irresistible aroma.....
