Chapter 4 Scaly Fruit

After eating sixty-three large insects, Bufan finally felt full.

patted his slightly swollen chest and abdomen, he didn't feel supported at all, he leaned on the stump, only to feel that his appetite was really shocking, a worm went to the coelum and had at least one and a half catties of meat, and he actually ate seventy or eighty pounds?

Even the most powerful big stomach king on the planet doesn't have this ability, right?

Bu Fan couldn't help but think of the words 'gluttonous relics' that the sea urchin said before, could it be that he really had some inexplicable inheritance with the so-called legendary gluttonous monster?

It's a pity that the sea urchin didn't react at this moment, and no matter how many questions there are in my heart, no one can answer them.

......

After a full stomach, it was inevitable that some sleepiness would rise, but Bu Fan knew that he must not fall asleep at this time - maybe he was safe and sound because of the deterrence of the sea urchin and the empty beast before, but now the sea urchin is sleeping in the sea of souls, but the safety thing must be taken to heart, and if he is not on guard, should he leave his fate to the unknown carnivorous beast that will definitely exist?

In addition, there is another thing, the problem of eating has been solved, but the problem of drinking has not yet been solved.

There was no sound of running water around, and he didn't dare to go away rashly, so he couldn't dig a well in the ground, right?

But when there is a need, there will always be an idea.

When he was looking around, he found a tall scaly tree, except for the occasional bird that could not see the specific appearance of the bird passing quickly, there were actually many things with the shape of a magnified version of a duck pear hanging on it, but he didn't know if it was a bird's nest or something else, he thought it was very much like the fruit of the scaly tree.

However, it is not easy to verify it, and you need to climb at least 50 meters to reach the bottom.

And before that, he needs to clean up the trivial things on the ground, and he can't leave any hand tails.

Digging a hole in the humus soil and burying all the remnants of the insects that have not been eaten is not for the sake of environmental protection or cleanliness, but to prevent the remains of the insects from attracting inexplicable creatures.

The fire was extinguished, the ash scattered, and some huge dead leaves were pulled over to cover it again, in order to hide their tracks and prevent the local intelligent beings from discovering and creating innocent hostility - Buvan did not expect the intelligent beings of this world to be friendly to him.

After filling his belly, there was no problem with his physical strength, and Bufan picked up the pickaxe again, practice makes perfect, and soon tore off a long strip of dead bark on the half-withered scaly tree.

The fibers in this scaly bark are as tough as the red hemp on earth, and with a little rubbing, they can be woven into strong ropes.

When it comes to the hands-on ability of hand-made objects, Bu Fan feels that his level is not bad, at least under the weaving of three warps and five wefts, a hemp rope with a length of tens of meters does not consume too much time for him.

After the rope was ready, he cut a few scaly branches, divided them into forty centimeter or so sections, made dozens of sections, and then sharpened one end of each section with a leg fork, repaired the other end neatly, and then tied it up, and found a piece of rope to fix at the position where his waist was smooth.

When all this preparation was done, he tied a weighty and slender stone to one end of the rope, and the other end was tied around his waist—a safety rope.

Then it's time to start climbing trees.

Because the trunk of the scaly tree is too thick, it is impossible to use the rope sleeve trunk to climb with his hands, and the skin of the trunk is not cracked in the vertical and horizontal ravines, so it is difficult to climb with his bare hands, so he plans to throw the rope stone over the low branch as a traction and a safety rope like climbing a mountain, and make a wedge on the trunk as a stepping point while climbing......

Well, it sounds a bit complicated. There is a way that it is difficult for those who will not, and it is not difficult for those who will know, a person like Bufan who has experienced countless survival adventures, and this kind of work like rock climbing is really difficult for him.

I chose a nearby scaly tree, and began to dig holes in it with the tip of a long pickaxe, which did not need to be too deep, only ten centimeters was enough for a solid scaly tree, and then smashed a pointed wooden wedge into the hole in the trunk, and tried the weight, and a solid foothold was completed. After several staggered repetitions, the trunk of the tree is like two vertical rows of branches, enough for Bufan to climb upwards.

The stone tied to the rope is thrown onto a horizontal thick branch more than ten meters high, and the stone is wound around the thick branch due to inertia, which forms a very strong fixed anchor point.

With the safety rope in place and enough stepping points, Bufan began to climb upwards.

He is now very glad that he is wearing a pair of rubber work boots with a large damping coefficient, this kind of boots is so good that the non-slip performance of this boot is so good, stepping on the well-textured branches of the scale tree, the fit between the rubber sole and the textured scale bark provides him with enough convenience.

After a series of previous busyness, Bufan's control of his body has become more and more comfortable, and the full-body exercise of climbing trees is even more first-class for his exercise.

Except for the fact that the coordination of hands and feet was a little unbalanced at the beginning, the more he climbed, not only did his speed not slow down due to physical exertion, but because of the strength of the soul body (which ate a part of the sea urchin), his control over the body was greatly improved, and the speed of climbing trees became more and more smooth.

Climb to more than ten meters high on the cross-branch, the role of the wooden wedge has been almost nothing, the scale tree is tall, the bottom of the branch is difficult to grow for a long time, the more upward, the more prosperous the branches and leaves (most of the trees in the primeval jungle on the earth are also like this), Bufan in the process of climbing up, no longer need to punch holes in the trunk to smash the wedge.

The rope was folded and coiled around his body, and there were few wooden wedges left, so he didn't need to pay any more attention, and Bufan began to try to move from side to side between the branches of the giant scaly tree, he tried not to look down, his eyes were fixed on the top and left, which was not difficult, because the underlying leaves that had already crossed had begun to block his view from looking down.

About thirty meters from the ground, it is considered to enter the middle section of the scale tree, and the environment here is not simpler than on the ground, there are many more messy things between the branches, such as dead branches broken by birds in the upper layer, some excrement that cannot be distinguished, and even some things that are obviously bones are mixed in the gaps of the branches......

More than ten meters upward, on a horizontal branch nearly two meters thick, Bufan finally found a pear-shaped hanging object that he could observe closely, this thing had a handle attached to the hanging branch above, and several obviously new leaves were distributed to its left and right, and its surface also had a fish-scale texture, which was obviously in the same vein as the scaly tree—this was the fruit!

Bufan was happy in his heart, but he did not act rashly.

Carefully looking up at the same fruit next to him, he found more things, such as some fruits with obvious bird pecking marks on them, some fruits were entangled in some transparent silk-like things, and most importantly, there was a tree next to the fruit lying on top of half a meat worm that he had used as food.

Most of the scruples in his heart are gone-the meat worm can be eaten, and he, a human who is temporarily at the top of the food chain, will naturally have no problems.

After two circles around the fruit, Bufan figured out how to eat it.

Wrap the rope around the body to a transverse branch close to the main trunk, wrap a few more turns around this large "Yali pear", and then tie the other end to another transverse branch, several different winding points form a triangle.

Then he used a long pickaxe to hook the thin branches on the top of the big "Ya Pear" and pull it down, until the "Ya Pear" was close to the horizontal branch under his feet, he quickly pressed the rebound branch desperately, pulled out the electrician's knife, and still used the small saw above to cut the "pear" handle.

There's a reason why it's so complicated.

The height of this large "Ya pear" itself is more than one meter, counting the diameter, its volume is comparable to the eight jackfruit produced by the Tianzhu Kingdom on the earth, the weight of a jackfruit can grow to 40 kilograms on average, and the weight of a jackfruit is more than 300 kilograms, and Bufan himself is standing on a horizontal branch nearly 50 meters above the ground, how can he not be careful?

Not to mention anything else, as long as the branches on it shake slightly, this big "Ya Pear" sways from side to side, and it is like a joke to fly more than 100 pounds of Bufan!

Sawing off the handle of the "pear", Bufan carefully pushed the large fruit to the root of the branch, stuck it through the depression between the branch and the main trunk, and then began to prepare to taste the thing.

The leg fork is used as a chisel, and the original stone is used as a hammer, pry open the skin of this "big Ya pear" little by little......

The outer skin of the "Ya Pear" inherited the toughness of the scaly bark, but fortunately, it was weakened a lot, and with the sharpness of the leg fork, a gap was revealed in a few clicks, and a slightly viscous pale pink juice suddenly gushed out.

Still not rash, Bufan let the juice drip onto the branches of the scaly tree, he leaned over and sniffed lightly, a fresh and refreshing smell hit his mouth and nose.

The cautious Bufan couldn't hold back any longer, and the leg fork slid again and again, and along the thin fiber texture, a gap in the size of a watermelon was opened on the "Ya Pear...... A piece of pale pink flesh was dug out inside, and he didn't care about any unclean hands, so he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

The flesh does not smell so fragrant and attractive, but it is very watery, and for Bufan, who once swallowed dozens of catties of insect meat, it is no less than the elixir and jade liquid.

There is always a limit to people's willpower and endurance, and Bufan, a guy who has experienced many survival grinds, is no exception, once the scruples in his heart disappear, the suppressed desires will be infinitely magnified - he won't be poisoned to death anyway, just let go of eating and drinking!

Always digging the flesh with a knife is obviously not enjoyable, opening a big opening, tearing off the peel, he poked his mouth over and gnawed directly, and even didn't care about the juice staining the clothes on his body...... As mentioned before, the size of the fruit is huge, and the image of Bufan, who is almost half of his body poking into the fruit, is no different from a big insect.

And the speed at which he devoured it was in line with the previous speculation of the sea urchin - the gluttonous relics.
