Chapter 14: The Heart of the Strong
For some reason, there are a lot of large animals by the lake today, and the journey has made Fengyun very frightened.
Although those tigers, leopards and bears seemed to be drinking water peacefully on the shore and did not disturb each other, the wind and clouds still did not dare to pass by them, and only dared to avoid them from afar.
Many large animals are soaked in the water and look very leisurely, including the big-butted fat rhinoceros who stepped on his own campfire yesterday, and now he is stepping on the mud puddle, shaking his head and chasing flies.
Walking around the inner lake for half a circle, around the other end, Fengyun found several streams that continue to flow into the lake, the trickling of living water is constantly surging day and night, and there are fish and shrimp foraging in the stream.
Stagnant water is more likely to breed bacteria and bugs, and living water is much better. Fengyun ran to the stream, jumped into the stream with stones, washed his hands with the cold stream water, picked up a handful of stream water and took a sip, the sweet and clear stream water was as refreshing as a summer ice drink, so that Fengyun had a comfortable cold war.
Even if it is living water, I don't dare to drink more, for the sake of safety, it is safest to boil and drink hot water, but how to boil water, this is a problem.
With limited tools and limited strength, it is quite difficult to make a container for water. The ideal utensils are to get your own pottery, Fengyun used to take his cousin to a pottery class, so he knows how to do pottery, but in this place where there are no tools, it is difficult to make a flat rolling pin, let alone anything else. Fengyun thought about it, but he could only get some bark to decorate the water and boil it first.
With the flint in hand, Fengyun was going to find a suitable tree to cut off the bark, and he had to make a new fire bow
The back of the lake is also a forest, but the trees inside are relatively small compared to the trees on the front.
In the woods on the back, Fengyun found a few persimmon trees, which were fruitful among the branches and leaves, but they were all green persimmons and not yet ripe.
But this is enough to make Fengyun very happy, and when these persimmons are ripe, just eating persimmons will be enough for him to eat for a while.
The trees on the back are mostly straight to the sky, like poplars, but I don't know which one, so Fengyun chose to use the materials here.
To boil water with the bark of a tree, you must choose a tender bark with sufficient moisture, Fengyun found a young poplar with the thickness of a basketball, and began to chisel it with flint.
The flint texture is very hard, the corners are a little sharp, and after a few blows, the force of the shock rubs through the skin. It's not a way to go on like this, Fengyun frowned and looked at the injured hand, thinking about a solution.
You have to make a tool, Fengyun picked up the flint, and looked at the branch that had been broken off just now to make the bark rope, and couldn't help but think about it.
Finding a large square stone, he picked up a branch the size of a child's arm, and Fengyun began to work on its surface.
Put the sharp half of the flint in the center of the branch, hit the bottom of the flint with a square stone, and after smashing it around, break it with force, and the branch will break into two knots, and a simple stick will be done.
The branch was erected, erected on the ground and buried, and the sharp end of the flint was placed on the truncated surface of the branch, and gently smashed it with a square stone, and after dozens of strokes, the branch slowly split in half from the middle, but not completely separated.
Putting the flint and branches aside, Fengyun began to twist the bark rope with the broken inner layer of bark. It was a tedious job, and it wasn't until sunset that he had enough rope to wield.
After making a fire drill bow and putting it aside, Fengyun began to make tools.
He had only eaten a roast bird in the morning, and now he was already hungry, but he did not dare to drink water without a bark pot, so he preferred to make the bark pot first and then look for something to eat.
Clamping the flint between the branches and stepping on the top of the branch holding the flint with his foot, Fengyun began to wrap the bark rope around and around it.
The bark rope is not strong, it can only be strengthened by quantity, and after wrapping the upper part, the bark rope has been used for a third of the time.
When the upper end is tightened, the flint will still slide through the cracks, so the lower end of the crack must be secured.
Throw as high as you can with a square stone, and after reaching the top end, Fengyun steps on the branch at the lower end of the flint, and forcefully closes it, clamping the flint.
Wrapped tightly around the lower end of the branch with a bark rope, and the flint was finally fixed in the crack between the branches and no longer shaking.
Wrap the flint around the flint with the remaining bark rope, tie it to the branch, tie the pimple, Fengyun lifted the branch and waved it down, the upper end of the flint was in front, firmly tied by layers of bark ropes, only the sharp end was exposed, and a flint axe that was difficult to see to the extreme was ready.
A series of system prompts are here again.
"Crafted into a flint axe with +20 growth. ”
"Carpentry skill level increased to LV2. ”
"Activate Survival Skill: Stone Art LV1. Gain the ability to craft stone tools. ”
"For the first time, the user combines survival skills carpentry and stone art to make one-handed tools independently, and the talent skill is rewarded: Craftsman's Heart LV1 (passive), with extraordinary patience and stable hands, when using craftsman skills, gain +10% growth value, and you can view the attributes of various tools. ”
When he looked down at the flint axe again, Fengyun was shocked to find that there were several fluorescent words floating on it:
Flint axes
Attack: 1-5
Decomposable.
Description: A one-handed tool created by the user of No. 9527 that can be used as a weapon.
Systematic evaluation: Such an ugly weapon, I don't bother to evaluate.
Damn! It's getting more and more like a game! Fengyun waved the flint axe in one hand, and returned to the tree to get bark in satisfaction. It's already dark, so you have to hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to start a fire when it gets dark, it's too dangerous.
Walking to the poplar tree, Fengyun wielded a flint axe and chiseled it into the trunk, and the sharp flint was embedded in the trunk, and he shook it before taking it down.
The system sent another series of prompts:
"Activate the Combat Direction Skill: Slash LV1, which can swing your weapon to slash at the enemy. ”
"The user activates the combat skill for the first time, and the talent skill is rewarded: the heart of the strong LV MAX (passive), the heart of the strong is needless to say, and he is alone to the sky. ”
Slowly closing his eyes, Fengyun couldn't help but sit cross-legged in place, the dead leaves on the ground around him rose without wind, slowly rotating around him, and his expression changed, as if he was undergoing some kind of magical transformation.
It seems that a year has passed, and it seems that there is only a moment, and when Fengyun opens his eyes again, it seems that he has changed a person.
An indifferent smile appeared, his originally panicked heart was as firm as a rock, and a confidence that he had never felt before filled his heart. It's not a change in the body, but a change in mentality, originally just an ordinary student, but at this moment, a strong seed has been planted in his heart.
Looking at the sunset on the mountain, the wild birds returning to their nests, listening to the roar of the beasts in the forest, the wind howling in the mountains, the wind and clouds clenched their fists.
Suddenly, he wasn't so homesick. What can you do if you go back? After three years of mixed up, do you come out to find a job to be a grandson for others? Fengyun scoffed. Since God sent himself to this world, then this is an opportunity, this world has gods, monsters, and human powers, compared to his own time and space, it is much more interesting!
Grabbed the flint axe next to him, although it was a simple stone axe, but Fengyun resisted on his shoulder, but it was like resisting a dragon slaying knife.
With a flick of his hair, Fengyun suddenly turned his head, glared, raised his stone axe, and rushed towards the poplar tree with a strange cry, shouting and chiseling up the bark.
The heart of the strong man did not bring any physical changes to Fengyun, but it completely changed his mentality, as if everything was fearless, and his confidence at this moment was terrifying.
Confidence is not arrogance, he still knows nothing about the future, but he has no fear.
What are you afraid of? People die in the sky! Don't die for another year!
Fengyun wielded a flint axe to chisel the bark of the tree, and was even in the mood to whistle. Compared with the unknown danger, the unknown itself is the factor that attracts him more!
With a flaming bow on his back, a flint axe in his hand, and a large roll of bark and bark rope between his armpits, Fengyun whistled and walked towards the stream.
Back at the stream, Fengyun found a pile of dead branches ready to start a fire. The flint needed two pieces to hit the spark, but the system only gave one, and he found a flint in the river beach, but there was no quick-burning flint, and the flint had little effect, so Fengyun still chose to use his flotting bow to drill wood for fire.
This time the storm was already well mastered, and a fire soon rose.
Spread out the rectangular bark wind clouds that have been peeled off the trunk and begin to make the bark pot. He took four thin branches, split them in half like the handle of a flint axe, pinched the four corners of the bark, clamped them with branches, and tied them with bark ropes, and a rectangular box of rough bark was ready.
Set up a branch frame next to the fire, then place the washed bark box filled with water on the branch border, set it on the fire and roast it, and then wait for the water to boil.
It's completely different from last night, Fengyun's mood at the moment is very relaxed and peaceful, he doesn't like this lifestyle, but he is confident that he can live a wonderful life with any lifestyle.
Afraid that the bark pot would burn out, Fengyun was ready to wait for the water to boil before looking for something to eat. Idle, he found a long wooden stick and slowly sharpened it with a flint axe, hoping to make a pointed end to make a weapon like a wooden spear.
The grinding process was a delicate job, and when the water boiled, the sharp end of the wooden spear was not sharpened.
The bottom of the bark box had been burned black, but the water inside had not leaked out at all, and it was clamped down with a branch and put on the ground to cool, and Fengyun got up to find something to eat.
There are a lot of fish and shrimp in the stream, and many of them are fat and big. He dug a pit beside the stream, dug a hole to bring in the stream, and Fengyun jumped into the water to catch the fish. Drove the fish into the puddle, blocked the inlet, and touched it twice, and caught a big silver carp with nowhere to hide.
A flint axe was struck on its head, and the tarpon was knocked unconscious and brought back to the fire. After scraping off the scales of the fish with the wood chips, Fengyun picked a new piece and laboriously cut open the belly of the fish with the serrated end.
While dealing with the internal organs and gills, a sound came from the right side, Fengyun vigilantly picked up the flint axe and stood up, looking to the right, and as the branches swayed, a huge brown bear walked out of the woods with its nose twitching.
