After feeling that it was about the same, Joseph took his bow and arrows to the dense forest below the mountain to see if he could hit something bigger than "Sasa".

The first time I went out hunting, I was lucky enough to catch three lizard-like three-petaled mouths more than half a meter long.

A dozen one-foot-long, finger-thick myriapod worms with extremely high salt content were also dug into the soft mud near the creek.

At the same time, some edible fruits were picked to supplement vitamins, and some herbs were picked to prevent colds, diarrhea and poisonous insect bites, as well as to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding.

After carrying the prey and fruit back into the hole, Joseph made the skin of the three-petaled lizard into a quiver and a larger water bladder.

The herbs are then dried, two pieces of sandstone are ground into powder, and the whole "sasa" skin is sorted into small pouches that can be taken on time or mixed with water in the future.

Then, it took a total of more than ten hours to slowly polish a piece of granite the size of a football with sandstone and grind it into a stone pot.

I also found a smaller fruit of a plant that resembled a gourd, and was going to dry it to make a small spoon.

I can finally eat hot pot, eating barbecue all day long is easy to get angry, and drinking raw water is also easy to have diarrhea. At the same time, you can also use this stone pot to boil salt and bag it for later use.

In order to make it easier to make fire in the future, Joseph also made something similar to the tool that David made for drilling wood to make fire in the "Huhu" tribe.

After more than ten Earth days, after eating the meat of the aforementioned prey, Joseph decided to go out hunting again, and today he was even more lucky, and met a nest of "platypus" that went to the water's edge to drink, there were five of them!

After shooting and dragging the "platypus" family, who were also not very fast, back into the cave in batches, Joseph used their leather to make a leather quilt, a fur coat, a pair of simple knee-high leather boots (in fact, a leather case that could be pierced), and a huge backpack containing the main body and multiple side/inner pockets and straps.

As for how the aforementioned objects were stitched, Joseph used a kind of rattan fiber to make a thin rope, and then used sandstone to sharpen the part of an animal's fine bone, and grind a "hook" at the tail to make a rough "needle".

If you can't finish the meat, you will grill it into jerky and set aside.

These days, Joseph had also heard helicopters "buzzing" outside a short distance from inside the cave, and it seemed that the ground forces had not come out at all.

He had considered that this place was not very far from the base, and the lights were dark, so the people in the base did not search the vicinity too carefully. It seems that he was right.

In this way, after hiding for two and a half Earth Moons, Joseph decided that the people in the base should have given up searching for him, so he decided to turn to the northwest, first away from the dangerous kind, and then think about the long term.

Joseph knew that the base was more than 2,000 kilometers east-northwest in the plateau area of the Eden continent, where there was ice and snow, and the expeditionary force was generally perfunctory in its expeditions, and they didn't even bother to land, so maybe some amazing creatures could survive there.

Leather coats, quilts and boots are made to protect against the cold there, because at the latitude where the base is located, the climate is very mild all year round, and the seasons do not change significantly, so these things are not needed.

After tying the fur quilt, coat and boots with rope, and putting them in his backpack with stone pots, stone knives, water bladders and other objects and those jerky, Joseph carried his "luggage" and rudimentary weapons and began his long journey alone.

Zhuo Wu carried David and Muma, first climbed rapidly to an altitude of more than ten kilometers above the ground, and then flew towards the east at extreme speed.

After gritting his teeth and flying at high speed for more than an hour, Zhuo Wu's speed gradually slowed down.

At this time, David had already seen that beyond the end of the Custer landform area, there was a huge plain with no end in sight, so he shouted: "Is Zhuo Wu tired?" If we've been flying for too long, let's take a break. ”

Muma, on the other hand, saw that the frequency and intensity of Zhuo Wu's wings were significantly reduced, revealing a worried look.

As the altitude of the flight gradually decreased, Zhuo Wu finally landed in a dense forest in a mountain col more than ten kilometers away from the plain.

When Muma put David in the glade, Zhuo Wu let out a low groan and said, "There is a boulder next to the crooked tree, do you see it?" ”

"Well, I see." Mulma replied.

Zhuo Wu said: "I'm almost dying, this boulder and the crooked tree are the landmarks I set up before, and there is a big hole underneath, which is one of my footholds, you can repair it in it for a while, and then hurry up..."

Muma shed two lines of tears: "Then you..."

Zhuo Wu didn't answer Muma, but walked straight to the big rock and began to dig into the ground.

In a few minutes, Zhuo Wu got out of the small hole about one meter in diameter that he had just dug up, and instructed Muma to sweep the little new soil he had just dug into the hole.

Then Zhuo Wu picked up two wooden sticks with thick bowls from several large trees nearby, and placed them on both sides of the hole.

Then a stone slab more than one meter wide was brought from nearby and placed on top of two wooden sticks.

"See if you can push the slate." After Zhuo Wu finished doing this, he said to Muma breathlessly.

As instructed, Muma pushed the slab open with all his might, revealing the hole again.

Zhuo Wu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go down together." ”

Muma picked up David, followed Zhuowu, and crawled into the hole.

As for the safety of the entrance to the cave, because it is on the ground in the dense forest, it is difficult to find it if you don't look carefully in the air, so there is no need to close it at any time.

Below the entrance is a circular tunnel at a 60-degree angle, and the soil on the tunnel wall has obviously been wet with water and then heated by fire, allowing it to form a hard substance similar to a clay pot.

After climbing down for about 200 meters, the two monkeys and one dragon came to a large spacious cave.

Like some of the karst caves that David had visited before, the roof of this large square cave the size of a basketball court was also covered with stone stalactites of different shapes, and most of the area at the bottom of the cave seemed to have been specially trimmed by Zhuo Wu, which was very smooth, and some miscellaneous items such as stones were piled up in a corner.

On the edge of the pile of rubble, there is a pool of water more than a meter long and wide, which does not look very deep.

In the other corner of the cave, which is stacked with rocks, there are some large and small objects that exude different lusters.

Curious, David walked over to check and found that it was something that resembled a meteorite, as well as some shiny debris that looked like large pieces of diamonds, crystals, or something.

Seeing that David was interested in his collection, Zhuo Wu said to Muma: "You tell Wei Wei that these are some small things that I usually pick up in various places, mainly because they are beautiful or strange, such as those stones, which I once saw them flying from the sky with flames, and I thought it was interesting, so I picked them up." ”

After Muma translated this to David, David picked up one of the smallest meteorites and fiddled with it, and found that it was meteorite! I couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in my heart.

As for diamonds and crystals, David wasn't interested in anything at all. Even if he loves money, what can he get in exchange for these treasures in this hellish place?

Next, Zhuo Wu said to Muma: "Translate my next words to Wei Wei at the same time, now it's time to say goodbye, I will hand over the child to the two of you, you have to take good care of it." ”

After speaking, Zhuo Wu's body spasmed, and then a hole gradually opened near its tail, "Dada! A transparent ball the size of a grapefruit on the earth fell out, and "Gollum" rolled to Muma's feet.

Looking at Muma, who was holding the dragon egg and observing carefully, and David, who was tiptoeing to the side and staring at him, Zhuo Wu said in a weaker voice than before: "It will take a while for my child to come out of this ball, about a hundred times to sleep, until then, you don't leave here, when my child comes out, he will help you return to Muma's hometown safely." ”

Muma felt more unease from Zhuo Wu's tone, and said, "Then you... Where to go? ”

Zhuo Wu said, "I will not let you see me die, please leave me this last bit of dignity." ”

Hearing this, Mu Ma quickly knelt down and carefully put the wet dragon egg with a faint fishy smell on the ground, and then leaned over to the ground and kowtowed to Zhuo Wu, and Douda's tears could no longer be stopped and dripped to the ground.

Even if Muma did not translate Zhuo Wu's last sentence at this time, David knew that the time of parting had come, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhuo Wu deeply.

When the two monkeys raised their heads again, they found that Zhuo Wu had left, and after a while, a glimmer of light that had come in from the tunnel that connected with the ground suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that Zhuo Wu had covered the stone slab from the outside.

After staring at the entrance of the cave where Zhuo Wu had left for a long time, Muma got up, walked to the side of the dragon ball, took the dragon ball in his arms again, sat down on the spot, and said to David in English, "Rest, I'll go hunting again." ”

David leaned over and said, "I'll study this dragon egg, you can sleep first." Also, I found that there was iron in those collections of Zhuowu, and I was going to try to make weapons. ”

Hearing the weapon, Mu Ma suddenly came to his senses: "You need me, what to do?" ”

David said, "I'm going to melt that iron, and it's going to take a lot of dirt, water, and a lot of wood. ”

Muma got up and put the dragon ball next to David: "Hold it steady." ”

After David stretched out his hands to hold the dragon ball, Muma walked to Zhuowu's "collection", picked up three diamonds the size of a pigeon's egg on the earth, and then returned to the side of the dragon ball, and used the diamonds to form a triangle under the dragon ball to prevent the dragon ball from rolling.

Then he went to the puddle in the cave and looked at it for a while, and said, "Here's a spring, and I'll move it back slowly." ”

When Muma walked back to the center of the cave and lay down to sleep, David took out a flashlight from his backpack and opened it, and while carefully observing the dragon egg, he said, "Then it's decided." ”
