Chapter 21: Life in another world from scratch
Chang Hao felt like he had been thrown into the washing machine, and the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon were spinning upside down in front of him. The ultra-long-distance teleportation formation is the greatest technological invention in ancient times, but obviously the side effects are not small, Chang Hao regrets that he did not prepare some motion sickness medicine in advance.
Chang Hao was paralyzed, lying on the spot and not wanting to move, he was sure that the surroundings were safe for the time being. Because it had been quiet for at least a few hours since the spatial rift that he had been torn apart by the teleportation formation and collapsed like a fart.
From the touch of the sand on his fingertips and the slightly salty smell in his nose, he concluded that this was a beach close to the sea.
In the process of being teleported before, he had been using his spiritual power to cover his body with a protective layer that was better than nothing, until his spiritual power was exhausted. This will finally accumulate some strength in the body, Chang Hao slowly stood up, as far as the eye can see is a white sandy beach, you can't see the edge of the blue sea in the distance with waves all the way to his feet, a small crab on the beach found that the "wood" that fell from the sky before actually pestle itself, frightened and hurriedly found a hole to drill into.
Chang Hao patted the mud and sand off his body, and he found that everything was normal except for some weakness, his clothes and storage rings were all safe and sound, and the figures of Chang Ge and Emilia also appeared in his field of vision. They hadn't woken up from their coma yet, but they had been teleported right next to a banana tree, and many large plantain leaves formed a natural soft bed to ride the two of them, and it was very comfortable to look at.
"God is really not kind, those with fine skin and tender meat have beds and quilts, and those with rough skin and thick meat are simply thrown on the beach. Chang Hao praised the "gift" of heaven while holding the two sleeping beauties out of the humid banana forest. Not far from the beach, there are palm and coconut groves, which are perfect for building a home with local materials.
Although it is far worse than that of a carpenter, as long as you don't deliberately pay attention to details and whether it looks good, with the sharp Yuehong Sword in hand, it is still so-so to build a wooden house that shelters from the wind and rain.
Chang Hao took advantage of the time when he was out to collect materials, climbed too high to survey the surrounding terrain, and found that there were higher mountains in the distance, and the wind blowing from there was as wet and salty as the sea breeze, and there was no slightly dry feeling on land, so he judged that the place where they were should be a desert island on the sea.
As for how far away this place is from the land, Chang Hao has no bottom in his heart, he has heard his grandfather say before that in ancient times, some monks with strong five senses could depict what kind of scene thousands of miles away just needed to smell the wind blowing.
Fortunately, this world is the same as what Grandpa and Gandalf said, the spiritual power is extremely abundant, more than dozens of times richer than Qingyun Mountain and Hogwarts School, and this is just an unknown desert island, if you can find a place where spiritual power gathers, it is indeed twice the result with half the effort.
The woman's body is much weaker than the man's, and it wasn't until near the end of the evening that Chang Ge and Emilia woke up. The two beautiful girls found themselves waking up in a wooden house with no beauty at all, and immediately thought that they were caught by some wild man to take advantage of the danger to be the lady of the village. So much so that Chang Hao came back with a bag of berries with joy, and as soon as he entered the door, he was hit with two heavy sticks.
"These berries are so delicious, sweet and sour, where did you get them, brother?" Chang Ge ate a half-purple and half-red fruit in one hand, and stuffed it into Emilia's hand, completely forgetting who had wielded the stuffy stick the loudest ten minutes ago. On the other hand, Emilia is like a baby who has done something wrong, looking at Chang Hao's face full of emptiness.
"These berries are everywhere on the island, and you can pick them whenever you want to eat them. Chang Hao touched the bag on his head that was bulging with a wooden stick, thinking that this stuffy stick was a little far away, but he didn't bother to say anything, after all, it is not a bad thing for girls to be careful in an unfamiliar environment.
The sun is gradually sinking in the west, the moonlight is hanging on the branches, it is dinner time, Chang Hao pondered that if he ate berries for three meals a day, it would be easy to save trouble, but it would definitely not be two or three days before everyone would have to vomit sour water. He used a few improvised fishing nets woven from palm in the morning to catch a net full of seafood as the tide rose and fell, especially a large octopus that was about to be bouncing around in the nearby coral reef, almost as big as a pig.
Chang Hao went to the sea to drag a few fishing nets ashore, and found that these nets of seafood were really not ordinarily heavy, no matter how you said it, there must be about 100 catties, and the harvest was quite rich.
Originally, when Chang Hao was still worried about not having a pot to cook seafood, an oyster in the fishing net that was almost the size of half a table quickly caught his attention.
This oyster is in no way inferior to the big octopus, and almost all of the weight of a hundred catties of seafood is usually contributed by its two large shells covered with seaweed and barnacles. Chang Hao used brute force to break open the shell, and the snow-white oyster meat made people appetize. When he was studying in Xiacheng, Chang Hao often ate oysters with his classmates, and there was a way to eat them raw, but this piece of oyster meat was less than a dozen catties, and it couldn't be eaten raw at all.
The ingredients and cooking utensils are all available, and then it's time for the performance of Changge.
The big oyster shell is a ready-made pot, Chang Ge set up a stove, spread it with flammable palm velvet underneath and let Emilia light it with fire magic, and then use a sharp stone knife to change the big octopus knife and throw the live fish, shrimp and crab into the pot, cover the other half of the oyster shell and cook it for a long time, the tangy fragrance is enough to attract people's hearts.
"I didn't expect Sister Chang Ge's craftsmanship to be so good!" Emilia scooped up a spoonful of seafood soup with a wooden spoon and tasted it, her eyes jumping with surprise.
"That's because the ingredients are fresh enough and don't need any condiments. Brother, open your mouth, ah~" Chang Ge picked up a piece of octopus meat and sent it to Chang Hao's mouth as if he was invited, looking at the thumbs up of the old brother, the corners of her eyes with a smile curved into a crescent moon.
The stars twinkled in the night sky, and the three of them sat around the beach bonfire, orange tongues of fire jumped in the depths of Chang Hao's eyes, and he briefly explained their current situation to Chang Ge and Emilia.
"In other words, this is a desert island surrounded by the sea, and it won't be easy for us to get out of here?" said Amilia, looking down.
"Not bad. Chang Hao said: "I have previously explored the nearby terrain, and there are higher trees and mountains in the distance, so if nothing else, we can collect harder wood from there and build a sailboat to leave here." ”
"Perhaps we can call for help from the ships that pass by in the vicinity?" asked Amilia.
"I have carefully observed the direction of the currents in the distance and the angle of the sun in the evening, and the island should be near the equatorial windless zone, but it is impossible to tell whether it is the eastern or western boundary. When it comes to making choices, Chang Ge leaned to his brother's side very unprincipledly, raised a finger and said: "If this world is as backward in technology as grandpa said, and ships at sea only rely on wind and ocean currents as the main power, then we may never be able to wait for the ships to be rescued." ”
"Chang Ge is right, it is better to ask for others than for yourself. Chang Hao touched Chang Ge's head dotingly.
Emilia is not an easy person to be persuaded, and she has quite a lot of opinions under her beautiful and innocent appearance. No one knows how far the desert island is from the nearest shore, and in order to withstand the storms and long voyages of several meters at sea, they must build ships that are large enough and sturdy enough, which is not something that can be easily done.
Build a big ship with just three of them young men under twenty?
But when she saw the strong confidence on the faces of her brother and sister on the other side of the campfire, the words she wanted to dissuade froze and she couldn't say it.
Because she suddenly remembered that the two brothers and sisters had also finished the remnant soul of an ancient evil Jiao in Greenland a few days ago. Perhaps, they can really work miracles?
"Tomorrow we're going to go to the depths of this island and we're all one. Chang Hao's smile was very warm, "You can't do it without you." ”
Emilia's eyes widened and she nodded heavily.
"Hmm!"
The night was deeper, the bonfire rising next to the residence dispelled the cold, the two girls hugged each other and slept, Chang Hao sat alone on the beach holding the moon rainbow sword to keep vigil.
The figure of the sword spirit childish child quietly appeared and sat beside Chang Hao.
"I'm actually a little scared and confused, and there are some things I don't dare to tell Chang Ge and them. Chang Hao's eyes drifted to the horizon at the end that blended with the night, "I have thought more than once that the legendary characters who are as strong as my father and grandfather have cultivated to the eternal immortality, and they have no way to stop the invasion of the extraterrestrial races back then, and they have even been forced to go away from the deep space of the universe... Can I really be stronger than them?"
"Everyone will face confusion and confusion in the stage of growth, this is not a shameful thing, your father is not just born qualified to sit on the throne of the emperor, he has also been confused, at a loss, and even self-defeating. But he eventually came out of the shadows and chose to protect the land that gave birth to him and raised him. ”
Sword Spirit said calmly: "You don't have to think about the invasion of the extraterrestrial race now, first solve the current matter, and then become stronger step by step, and then care about the rest." Otherwise, with only your current cultivation in the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm, you sit here and think that you can kill those extraterrestrial races? The more scared you are, the stronger you will become!"
"When you say that, I feel better, this mouth that has lived for thousands of years is amazing. Chang Hao supported his body with his arms and lay back, looked up at the sky full of stars, and suddenly said: "Yuehong, you are a sword spirit, not a human being, but judging from your previous words and deeds, you seem to care about the future of mankind?"
The expression on Sword Spirit's face suddenly became vicissitudes. The immature childlike body and the vicissitudes of life made Chang Hao, who was close at hand, feel the slightest disobedience.
"Before I was cast, the world of Earth had faced several invasions from extraterrestrial races, and at that time, people called it demons. In ancient times, when the human race was weak, the fairy world sent the gods to the lower realm to help eliminate demons, and that period was later called the era of gods and demons. The strength of the gods and demons is monstrous, and the hand-to-hand development is often turned upside down, and the human race can only survive in the gap between gods and demons. ”
The Moon Rainbow Sword Spirit slowly spoke, and there seemed to be a mysterious power in the vicissitudes of life, which could make Chang Hao give birth to the illusion of being in the scene, and a picture scroll unfolded in front of his eyes, which was full of the hardships of the humble survival of the human race in the era of gods and demons, lifelike.
"After a period of time, the demons dormant on the earth launched a large-scale general attack, and the first generation of your human race, Emperor Ji Xuanyuan, sounded the Asking Heaven Drum to ask for help from the immortals, but he never waited for the immortals to come to help. Then Ji Xuanyuan led the human race to fight to the death with the demons, and after paying an extremely painful price, they won and successfully gained a firm foothold in this land, and they were no longer food in the eyes of other races. ”
"Look up to people and snort, and you can die day and night. Chang Hao muttered softly.
"After a thousand years, the Emperor of the People's Republic of China changed hands several times, and finally arrived at your father. A thick remembrance appeared in the sword spirit's eyes, and his voice choked involuntarily, "The old man and I were arranged to guard the current earth. After 5,000 years, the old man and I did not meddle in anything in the world, but just watched quietly, watching the human race face the stormy waves again and again, fighting for their lives, and tenaciously surviving. Watching this race, which was as cheap as an ant and could become food for other people at any time, gradually thrives to the point of being the master of the earth. I am very impressed and gratified. ”
Sword Spirit cried and laughed, "Such a race is worthy of respect. Such a race should not be wiped out in the vast universe. If you have enough strength, protect it, and protect the inheritance and bloodline that countless people have worked hard to continue at the beginning. ”
Chang Hao was speechless for a long time when he heard this, and an inexplicable emotion was stirring in his heart, which made him subconsciously clench his fists.
That night, he understood what he should fight for in this life.
