09 Get ready to go out of the mountain!
After making the decision to walk out of the forest, Xu Zheng worked harder to practice the art of Heavenly Dao. He deeply understands a truth in his heart, no matter where he is, his own strength and skills are all the foundation for creating a happy life. It is impossible to do this without hard work. In a way, happiness can always be equated with sweat.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Technique became more diligent, from purely thinking about better self-preservation to having a goal, Xu Zheng's entry realm grew rapidly, and he soon entered the third layer realm. After entering the third layer realm, Xu Zheng once again made a small spirit gathering array, enclosing himself and Lulu into it, so as to avoid competing with the two winged tiger parents for the spirit gathering array.
At the same time, Xu Zheng's exploration of the entire forest has become more frequent and careful, trying to include as many unseen things as possible and understanding the terrain, hoping to find a way out of the forest.
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed. In these three months, Xu Zheng's Heavenly Dao technique had reached the peak of the third-layer realm, condensing but not developing, and he could no longer break through. It seems that it is unlikely to break through the current realm and reach the fourth layer in a short period of time.
Xu Zheng knew that the cultivation of this Heavenly Dao technique was to act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, and it should be natural, and it was useless to be in a hurry. So although I was anxious, I had to press it down and wait for the opportunity to break through. However, with the growth of the Heavenly Dao Technique cultivation realm, Xu Zheng's personal space has grown to a volume of nearly 10 cubic meters, which is the thing that makes Xu Zheng the happiest.
Even if there is no hope of breaking through, Xu Zheng will not do more entanglement in the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao technique. In addition to the consolidation practice at a fixed time every day, he devoted more time to exploring the forest and rebuilding the Winged Tiger House.
In order to make it easier to remember, Xu Zheng named it the vast forest sea. The forest named the Vast Forest Sea is indeed too big, just like the name Xu Zheng gave it, it is vast and ridiculously large. Xu Zheng and Lulu once ignored the opposition of the Winged Tiger Niang, and set off with food and water that they thought were enough, and they flew and walked along the way, walked when they were tired of flying, and then rode back to the Winged Tiger to fly after resting enough, and walked for 8 days, until the food and water were almost consumed, and then they had to turn back. Looking out from the end of this time, the eyes are still full of vast and boundless forests, with no end in sight, and no trace of the edge of the exploration.
However, this exploration was not without gains, Xu Zheng was pleasantly surprised to find an iron mine and an unknown metal mine, which can be regarded as a little compensation for his disappointment.
Now, while Xu Zheng is embarking on the second expedition to explore, he is also using his iron ore brain. It is hoped that before the second expedition, we can make some good tools, and at the same time build the home of the winged tiger, so that all the preparations can be made after the end of the second rainy season, and we will set off as soon as the rainy season is over.
The most frustrating part of the whole process is not being able to correctly determine where you are in the forest. Because once the starting position is determined, all activities can be carried out at the origin of the beginning, and it can be expanded outward radioactively, avoiding the occurrence of standing still and twists and turns.
There are too many differences between this time and space and Xu Zheng's original time and space. Completely different celestial and astrological phenomena make the knowledge of the location of the celestial bodies accumulated in previous lives useless. At first, Xu Zheng had been using the most stupid way to judge his position, that is, to draw all the areas he had explored over the years on the wall of Yihu's house, and gradually expand the exploration area based on this.
But slowly, he found a pattern that made this headless exploration action have a certain direction.
The reason at first was simple, it was a small core.
After accompanying the Winged Tiger family to participate in countless hunting activities and share the food, Xu Zheng noticed one thing, that is, almost all the creatures here have a nucleus in their brains. They all take the appearance of crystals, and the nuclei that form between different species vary in color, size, and shape, most of which are translucent, and the small parts are completely transparent or completely opaque.
The first time he got this thing, Xu Zheng only thought that this little thing was quite beautiful, fun and interesting, and after playing with it for a while, he really didn't understand what it was for, so he threw it directly into his personal space. Then, as the realm of Heavenly Dao Technique cultivation grew, Xu Zheng sensed that this thing that looked quite beautiful contained energy. And the amount of energy varies with the size of the nucleus. Generally speaking, the large, completely transparent or completely opaque ones always have more energy, and the translucent ones are generally in the middle. Later, he discovered that this energy can also be absorbed or transformed. Because he saw that the Winged Tiger would always swallow some cyan cores, swallowing more energy, or swallowing less to accumulate to a certain limit, the Winged Tiger's ability would be more or less improved. Touching the bypass, Xu Zheng, who was flexible, boldly applied them to the establishment of the first Spirit Gathering Array. I didn't expect it to be a real success. It can be said that the reason why Xu Zheng's bold attempt to build a spirit gathering array was successful this time, and these nuclei became the biggest contributors. Without them, Xu Zheng's move to build the first Spirit Gathering Array could only be on paper.
Since then, every time he hunts, Xu Zheng will always subconsciously collect these cores. Whether you know the purpose or not, an ancient brain is crammed into your own personal space. Slowly for more than ten years, half of Xu Zheng's personal space has been occupied by these cores.
This allowed Xu Zheng to discover another law, and it was also the basis for him to have hope to get out of the forest.
Xu Zheng found that there are no more than two kinds of creatures in the vast forest and sea. Those who use energy and those who don't. Those who can use energy definitely have this nucleus, and those who can't use it don't. Depending on the size of the ability, the size of the nucleus is also different, and the large ability can be reflected in the color, size, and shape of the nucleus. And according to the countless nuclei obtained by Xu Zheng, the distribution of such nuclei is regular, and they show a radioactive divergence range, the greater the ability to go to the center, and the smaller the ability to go outward. This means that if you look in the direction of the reduced capacity brought about by the nucleus, one day, you can get out of this forest.
Thinking of this, Xu Zheng couldn't help but be excited. Surveying is no longer blind.
Now the job is to prepare everything, and then wait for the east wind, and when everything is ready, the east wind comes, and then start the second expedition to control the rope.
The first thing that should be done is to rebuild the Winged Tiger's foothold.
Originally, the winged tiger did not make a nest. In fact, they don't have a nest now, and now this place to settle down is all built by Xu Zheng. This kind of creature with wings on its back, the original habit is to hunt wherever it goes, where to rest where it hunts, and digest the itinerary of continuing to hunt and rest every three or five days, and it is always migrating all year round, and there is no fixed foothold. It wasn't until Xu Zheng, a little thing, appeared in Yihu's life that Yihu stopped in order to take care of this little thing, and only moved around where he is now staying.
Now the Winged Tiger's Nest, or the foothold, is a tree house that Xu Zheng built on a big tree when he was seven years old. With the help of Lulu, Xu Zheng picked many branches and rattans and woven them together to form a sturdy structure that was used to form a wall and foundation support. Then I found a place with dense branches, fixed it on it, and used the branches to build a small tree house with a circular area of about 4 square meters.
The small tree house is very simple, there are no windows, only two openings in the north and south directions. Although Xu Zheng also made two doors, most of the time they were not closed. This makes it easier for the tiger to enter and exit. Because the winged tiger has wings, and there is no need to think about building stairs or anything, these three guys can easily rise from the ground with a flap of their wings, and they can enter the tree house. And the movements are very dexterous, and Xu Zheng is often envious. You must know that the ability to fly is a skill that can only be achieved when the Heavenly Dao Technique has been cultivated to the eighth layer realm.
As for Xu Zheng himself, there is no need for stairs. Living in this forest, Xu Zheng is like Mount Tai when he exercises, more flexible than an ape, and he can go up to the tree house by grabbing the branches and scurrying three or two times.
It stands to reason that this tree house is dry and airy, covered with hay and leaves, and there is nothing wrong with being soft and comfortable. But once the rainy season arrives, it changes completely.
In the vast forest, there are always two fixed rainy seasons a year. The first lasts about 40 days, and there is always a continuous stream of rain falling every day. The second lasts about 40 days, and the interval between rains is variable, but there are always rainstorms every three to five days. The interval between the two rainy seasons is about 150 days.
In the forest, the main precipitation of the year is concentrated in these two rainy seasons. The first rainy season was rainy and the tree house was damp, so it was not so comfortable to live in. In the second rainy season, heavy rain falls, and the small tree house can not be well sheltered from the wind and rain, often including Xu Zheng, a family of four in the rain into four soup chickens, miserable. The winged tiger has lived in the forest for many years, but it is used to the rain, and its wings are stretched out to cover its head to block the rain, even if it is embarrassed, it can barely survive the day. But Xu Zheng is very miserable, and in this case, he has only two choices, either hide under the wings of the winged tiger, or let the rain pour it directly.
