Chapter 19 Rattan Clothes, Worm Nails
Tang Chen lay on the ground and breathed greedily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He lost count of how many times he had traveled back and forth between the Dark River and the Cave, he had stayed in the cave for a long time and could not see the light of day, and he lacked an accurate idea of the passage of time. In addition to the necessary rest, he spent almost all his time in the dark river, and the sectional construction of the dark river channel has been carried out step by step.
With the ventilation point as the point and the rattan rope as the line, the operation is carried out in sections, and the ventilation points are connected one by one, and the scope of Tang Chen's control is gradually expanding. Up to now, he had advanced nearly three hundred meters downstream along the Dark River, and the previously refined rattan ropes in the Qiankun bag had long been exhausted, so that he had to leave the cave and recover all the rattan ropes of the Heavenly Ladder Road.
These days, Tang Chen is like a diligent ant, and the segmented encroachment on the dark river is going well.
Although it is hard work, he is always motivated, and everything he does is to ensure his own safety, although it will take a lot of time and energy, but it can minimize the risk.
There are still a lot of rattan ropes recovered, but the encroachment on the dark river has come to an end.
At the very front of the area he can control now, the dark river trend suddenly went downward, and the entire section of the river was occupied by the river, and Tang Chen connected the rattan rope to 60 meters and still couldn't find a new ventilation point. He didn't continue to lengthen the rope, 60 meters is his limit, beyond this distance, he may not have enough stamina to return in the countercurrent. In a closed environment, if he fails to return in time before his physical strength is exhausted, even if there is a gourd to provide him with oxygen to continue his life, it will still be difficult to escape the doom of drowning.
Tang Chen sighed: "It seems that the time for gambling has come......"
Little Tom stepped on the unique cat step, and Shi Shiran came to Tang Chen.
Seeing the kitten, a trace of warmth flashed in Tang Chen's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "We can leave soon, but there may be danger, if you change your mind and don't want to leave, it's too late to regret it." ”
"Meow!"
"But you're afraid of water. ”
Tang Chen pointed at the kitten's death hole very inhumanely, it is the nature of cats to be afraid of water. The kitten was visibly flustered. But soon, it straightened its body and raised its tail in a majestic manner, as if it wanted Tang Chen to overcome the difficulties himself.
Tang Chen smiled dumbly, and raised his thick eyebrows lightly: "It seems that you really don't want to stay here...... Then it's decided, whether it's dead or alive, let's break together!"
"Meow!"
"We need to do a little bit more preparation, the water is very fast, we have to find a way to strengthen the protection, and there is also the problem of ventilation under water for a long time, I will figure out how to do this. You go catch insects, catch more, we have a good meal today, and from now on, we should also stock up on food. ”
"Meow!"
The problem of gourds is very easy to solve, Tang Chen used to refine rattan ropes, a large number of gourds were thrown aside, waiting to be dried and burned as firewood, just a little processing, immediately ready to use. If that's not enough, just go and walk around the cliff.
The issue of underwater protection made Tang Chen think a lot.
The dark river is turbulent, there are many curves, and the three hundred meters in front of the exploration are also tied with rattan ropes as insurance, and the road behind can only follow the waves, and the collision with the stone walls and reefs in the river will be very frequent. Exploring the dark river for 300 meters, Tang Chen was injured many times while wearing a safety rope, and there was no slowing down measure at all, and the impact of being pushed by the river would obviously be more frequent and more violent.
Tang Chen will refine some low-level magic weapons, but the premise is to have suitable materials, in the current situation, it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, he can only use the existing resources in the valley to find a way.
The valley has the most vine ropes and gourds.
Tang Chen tried to wrap a rattan rope around his body, jumped over, and let the river take him away. After a while, he returned from the dark river with a disgraced face, and there was an extra bag on his forehead...... Facts have proved that "rattan clothing" can only reduce the probability of skin trauma due to impact, but due to the lack of sufficient cushioning, the force of the collision is equivalent to directly transmitting to the body, and Tang Chen was quickly knocked to pieces.
Lack of buffering ......
Tang Chen returned to the valley and cut off a few fresh mountain vines full of gourds, removing the leaves and vines, leaving only the vines and gourds. Carefully wrapping the new rattan around his body, a new rattan robe full of gourds was announced, and Tang Chen called it the "second generation of rattan clothes".
The performance of the second generation of rattan clothing is much better than that of the first generation, and the most obvious improvement is the buffer.
In the event of a collision, it is usually the outer gourd that comes into contact with the rock first, and the impact of the gourd will be taken away by the water before it is transferred to the rattan rope, thereby reducing the impact on the body. The role of the gourd is not only shock absorption, Tang Chen plans to dispose of them all, and when necessary, directly unscrew the bottle mouth for ventilation.
Kill two birds with one stone!
However, after the test in the dark river, the protective power of the second generation of Fujiyi still could not satisfy Tang Chen.
Wearing the second generation of rattan clothes, he floated 200 meters in the dark river, and he was hit and dizzy and painful. Tang Chen didn't know where the dark river would take him, if he wanted to get out of trouble, it was conservatively estimated that he would have to drift thousands of meters in the dark river, and half of his life would be lost after trying to drift for 200 meters......
Tang Chen felt that he was very bitter.
In order to get something delicious, he didn't recruit anyone and didn't break the law, but he was unlucky to fall off the cliff and was almost overtaken by countless black beetles. I finally saw some hope of getting out of the predicament, but I encountered an unsolvable problem, is my brother destined to be the companion of insects in this valley? If Tom's big cat comes back one day and takes Tom away, how can my brother live in this valley? Those black beetle shells are so hard that it is difficult to get something to eat......
Seems to have overlooked something.
Black Beetle Shell!
Tang Chen jumped up and ran all the way back to the previous camp at the bottom of the valley.
For more than a month, Tang Chen and the kitten fed on black beetles every day. A black beetle can provide about two pieces of meat the size of a fingernail, and one person and one cat initially have to catch at least a hundred or more per day, and as Tang Chen consciously increases the amount of food, the daily consumption of black beetles is more. The shells, legs, and other inedible torso parts of the black beetles, Tang Chen had intended to throw the remains of those black beetles in the fire to burn them, so as not to put them there as an eyesore, but those remains were extremely fire-resistant. The small fireball could slowly burn the remains of the black beetle, but Tang Chen didn't have that time to spare, so he had to pile them all up in a corner of the camp.
The black beetle's shell was extremely hard, and when Tang Chen first confronted it on the tree, the barbecue fork knocked on the black beetle's body, clanging like a golden stone, and its hardness could be seen. When processing the black beetle meat, Tang Chen found that the black beetle shell was not of great quality. Lightweight and stiff, isn't it the best protective material?
Although each black beetle shell is not large, it is better to have more than enough.
If there are not enough insect shells, there is plenty of supply in the valley, and it is a big deal to let Little Tom do more killing. Anyway, the little guy is very good at doing these things, and they are already full of blood, and they need to stock up on food......
With the clothes as the inside, the black beetle shell is strung on it in order, which is an inner armor.
Wearing insect beetles inside and rattan clothes on the outside, this protection should be enough, right?
