Volume 1 The War of the Seven Kingdoms Chapter 2 The Jungle
The next day, Lin Jian was tinkering with snake skins under the mouth of the cave.
He skinned the python off. Twist the snakeskin into a rope with a stick at one end and the intact table next to it.
That night, after Lin Jian ate the fruit, his whole body was filled with strength, and he almost exploded and died.
But after surviving, I found that not only did I have a lot more strength, but my ears seemed to be able to hear more clearly.
Therefore, Lin Jian woke up in his sleep when he heard the sound of the giant python spitting and crawling.
It is also a great increase in strength, so that he can survive the fight with the giant python, if it is not for eating the fruit, Lin Jian did not starve to death, and has become the food of the giant python.
At this time, Lin Jian stood on the table, holding the snakeskin rope in his left hand, and throwing it towards the hole above with a wooden stick in his right hand.
The stick was the leg of the loose table, and Lin Jian wanted to use the stick to jam the roots or vines outside the hole, so that he could climb out along the snakeskin rope.
Lin Jian repeatedly threw the stick out of the hole, and then pulled the snakeskin rope. It wasn't until the sixteenth time that the stick was finally stuck, and Lin Jian hurriedly and gently crawled out along the snakeskin rope.
Outside the stone cave, Lin Jian lay on the thick fallen leaves, feeling the breeze blowing, insects and birds chirping.
"It's finally out!"
After resting for a while, Lin Jian began to think about how to get out of this dense forest.
Although this dense forest was just behind the Lin family, Lin Jian had never entered this dense forest, and even the adults in the family rarely entered the dense forest.
Occasionally come to this dense forest, and when hunting, they will hunt in the outermost area, and no one will go deeper.
Moreover, Lin Jian was warned by the elders of the family since he was a child: "This dense forest is very vast, once you enter the depths, the big trees are towering, and the dense leaves cover the sky and the sun, it is very easy to lose your way and find no way out." In addition, in the dense forest, there are many wild animals, snakes, insects, rats and ants are poisonous, which is really difficult to prevent. Whoever strays into it, no one will survive. ”
Thinking of this, although there are some intimidating and exaggerated elements, I dare not believe it. Lin Jian could only smile bitterly, in order to escape for his life that night, he broke into the dense forest, and whether he could get out alive could only rely on himself.
Lin Jian turned his head to look around, guessing that he hadn't run to the deepest part of the dense forest.
"Gollum, Gollum" Lin Blade's stomach screamed hungry, and Lin Jian remembered that he hadn't eaten anything except that plate of fruit in the past few days.
Lin Jian touched the simple bag made of python skin on his waist, which contained some python meat.
When I got up and picked up some dry branches and leaves, and was about to roast python meat, I found that there was no fire on my body, so I had no choice but to try what I had only heard of, drilling wood for fire.
When night fell, Lin Jian found some dry branches and fallen leaves and put them on a dead tree, and sat in it to eat a small piece of roast snake meat.
The night in the dense forest is the time for all kinds of wild beasts to feed, and Lin Jian does not dare to spend the night on the ground.
There will be a lot of snakes and insects on the lush trees, and most of them are highly poisonous, so Lin Jian can only choose a dead tree, and at the same time, Lin Jian also picks a lot of mugwort leaves and puts them beside him to disperse insects and ants.
During the day, Lin Jian spent the whole day looking for a way out, and Lin Jian chose a direction, and as he walked, he carved a mark on the trunk of the tree with a dagger.
I thought, "The more dense the trees are, the more they will go to the center of the forest, and conversely, if they go to the sparse direction, they will definitely be able to get out." ”
However, two days had passed, and Lin Jian hadn't seen the change in the density of the trees around him.
However, Lin Jian also knows the vastness of this dense forest, so he is not discouraged, as long as he can live and explore slowly, he can always get out.
It was the fruit he ate before, Lin Jian had been worried that it would be poisonous, but after these days, except for the abnormal change that night, there was no reaction at any other time, and his body was not uncomfortable, which made Lin Jian feel a little puzzled.
After two days of exploration, Lin Jian found that the danger of this dense forest was higher than imagined, not to mention all kinds of snakes, insects and beasts, and there were many potholes, and the caves were covered by dead branches and leaves.
There were several times when I stepped on the air, and if I hadn't been quick and grabbed the bushes next to me, I was afraid that I would never have been able to get out if I had fallen.
Since then, Lin Jian has cut a thick branch and sharpened the end with a dagger, which can not only find the way, but also defend himself.
On the next occasion, Lin Jian also used this wooden spear to poke out a swamp, so that he did not get caught in it.
Two months later, a teenager was armed with a bow and arrows, and a cat was in the bushes, staring at a hare ten meters away.
"Whoosh", the hare was nailed to the ground, constantly struggling, the boy hurriedly rushed up to grab the rabbit, pulled out the wooden arrow, wiped it on the grass, and put it in the quiver behind his back.
This young man is Lin Blade, at this time Lin Blade is covered in animal skin, carrying a wooden bow, a quiver and a wooden spear on his back, and two cloth bags, a bamboo tube and a dagger pinned to his waist.
He skillfully lit the fire, skinned it, set the hare on the fire, and took off the bamboo tube from his waist, and raised his head to drink.
In the past two months, Lin Jian was scared, and if he was not careful, he would lose his life, but he also learned to hunt some small animals and supply food.
In this dense forest, more than a dozen times were chased by large beasts and ran around, and more than a dozen wooden spears were broken for self-defense.
In order to hunt for food, Lin Jian made a simple bow and arrow out of python skin and branches, which was weak and could only bully pheasants, hares and other small wild animals.
The previous clothes had already been torn by thorns, so Lin Jian simply made the clothes into cloth bags, which were used to hold the jade blocks, porcelain bottles and small cloth bags obtained in the stone cave.
He wears a fox fur, which is hung on his body with strips of cloth at will, which is more durable than clothes.
After eating the hare meat, Lin Jian hung the remaining rabbit legs on the wooden spear, extinguished the fire, and continued to walk forward.
After two months of exploration, Lin Jian also found the direction to get out of the dense forest, although he didn't know how long it would take to get out, but the gradually thinning trees around him gave him some confidence.
Now the forest blade is darker than it was two months ago, but it has also grown a little taller, because every day through the dense forest, hunting, and the bulging muscles on the body give people a feeling of strength.
These two months made Lin Jian realize that the most dangerous thing was not those large beasts, but those highly poisonous insects and ants.
Once, Lin Jian set up a canopy on a dead tree before night came, but the time was in a hurry, and he couldn't find wormwood when it got dark.
In desperation, Lin Jian had to give up, thinking about the future.
As a result, before going to bed, Lin Jian was bitten by a small black and red bug. At first, Lin Jian didn't care, and he didn't feel anything, but after a while, Lin Jian felt sore, and then he passed out directly, and Lin Jian didn't wake up until noon the next day.
After waking up, Lin Jian found that his whole body was covered with red spots, itchy and painful, and he tortured Lin Jian for more than ten days before he gradually recovered.
Since then, Lin Jian must find wormwood before dark every day, and even smear his whole body with wormwood juice before he dares to sleep.
On two other occasions, Lin Jian encountered a herd of beasts and almost lost his life.
Once, Lin Jian walked into a small stone forest, and there were small stone piles everywhere, and there were skeletons of things that could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Lin Jian was still muttering in his heart, "How can there be so many skeletons, could it be that some ferocious beast lives?" ”
He felt uneasy in his heart. However, when night fell, Lin Jian didn't dare to rush in the dark, so he had to find a dead tree to rest.
In the middle of the night, Lin Jian heard the sound of "rustling" and immediately woke up.
Looking at it through the moonlight, my scalp suddenly went numb.
Dense scorpions, with their tails cocked and their sharp hooks, poured out of the rubble. As big as the palm of your hand, as small as your thumb, it covers the entire floor.
The scorpions all over the ground seemed to sense the breath of living creatures, and they were crawling along the trunk of the tree towards the blade. Seeing this, Lin Jian hurriedly jumped down, and ran away after landing on the ground.
Lin Jian looked back as he ran, and the scorpion group, except for a group chasing Lin Jian, the rest of the scorpions scattered around, looking for other living creatures.
Lin Jian watched the scorpions chasing after him, remembered a stream he passed by during the day, and hurriedly changed direction and rushed towards the stream.
When he jumped into the water and swam to the other side of the stream, he looked back and saw that the small scorpion had given up chasing him.
And in the bushes opposite was hiding a wild boar, sleeping. The scorpion swarm surrounded it, and immediately crawled all over the boar's body, and many scorpions raised their scorpion tails and stabbed their poisonous hooks into the boar's body.
The wild boar woke up from pain, got up and shook off most of the scorpions on his body, and then began to run.
But seeing that the wild boar only ran three meters away, as if its legs were weak, and fell to the ground, the scorpion quickly surrounded it, and the wild boar struggled and rolled wildly on the ground in pain, making a miserable cry of "hey, hey, hey".
But after just a dozen breaths, the boar was silent.
Dense scorpions crawl on it, like a black blanket, over the boar.
Then, the wild boar shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after dozens of breaths, the scorpion group receded like a tide, leaving only a pair of white bones and a pool of blood on the ground.
After seeing this scene, Lin Jian felt unsafe even if he was on the other side of the river, so he turned around and ran into the distance.
Once again, it was Lin Jian who encountered the wolves, and that was also at night.
When Lin Jian was hunting, he lost the cloth bag on his body, and found it when it was getting dark, and when Lin Jian walked back, he heard the wolf howl.
Lin Jian turned his head to look at the sound, and a chill swept through his body.
All around, it was a dark dense forest, but a pair of green light spots lit up, Lin Jian knew that this was the eyes of the wild wolf, and this was the wild wolf group staring at his prey.
Lin Jian wanted to run, but his legs were a little weak and he didn't dare to run, and the wolves slowly surrounded Lin Jian and stopped ten steps away from Lin Jian.
Lin Jian also knew that the wolves were not afraid of him, but of the torches in his hands.
However, the fire will be extinguished, Lin Jian quickly thought about a way to get out.
"Whew!" There was a long howl behind the wolves, and the wild wolf, which had always been the most majestic, walked in front of the wolves and let out another long howl towards the forest blade.
"Woo woo!" The wolves responded to each other, howling one after another, and the wolves began to approach the blade.
Lin Jian gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait to die on the spot.
Grabbing the torch and throwing it directly at the most majestic wolf's head, he turned and ran towards the tallest tree beside him.
The wolves were afraid of the torches and did not dare to rush forward, but the wolf leader ran away after seeing Lin Blade's provocation, and roared angrily.
"Woohoo!" When the wolves heard this, they pounced directly on Lin Blade.
At this time, Lin Jian had already run under the tree, and climbed up the tree with his hands and feet, and the two fastest wolves in the pack had already arrived next to Lin Jian, opening their mouths and rushing towards him.
Lin Jian hurriedly retracted his feet, one wolf bit the air and fell, and the other still bit Lin Jian's left foot and sank down, almost dragging Lin Jian off the tree.
Lin Jian endured the severe pain, hugged the trunk of the tree with both hands, and stomped on the wolf's head with his right foot, stepping on it three or four times in a row, and the wild wolf was relieved of the pain.
Lin Jian hurriedly climbed up again, and did not stop until the wild wolf was really out of reach. Sitting on a tree branch, panting for breath, he bandaged the wound on his left foot with a strip of cloth.
Although the wolves can't reach it, they are also reluctant to take prey from the trees and have been wandering under the trees.
After waiting for a while, the wolf head let out another long howl, and the wolves scattered in all directions, but the wolf head was very vindictive, sitting under the tree, staring at the forest blade.
