infinite blood core

Chapter 77 Oasis Rest
the next day.

Zhenjin first explored the entire oasis, and the environment in the oasis was unexpectedly peaceful and tranquil.

The footprints by the lake are basically gun scorpions and acid lizards.It is easy to speculate that there are only two large herds of spear scorpions and lizards near this oasis.

The lake water cannot be probed, so it is not known what is hidden in the lake water.

However, according to the traces left by the beasts by the lake, there seems to be no signs of fighting, which may indicate that there is no threat in the lake.

There are many small creatures.

Such as small lizards, normal scorpions, spiders, and jerboa.

Occasionally, there will be birds in the sky landing on a coconut tree.

After everyone discussed it, Zhenjin started to cut down these sturdy coconut trees.

After picking all the coconuts, he also processed the trunk, split it into dry wood, and used the core part to make the body of the short bow.

Zidi is equipped with potions. Compared with the barren desert, the oasis contains much richer materials.

Cang Xu is responsible for twisting the hemp rope.

Up to now, there are only five people left in the exploration team, two of them can't even walk by themselves, and among the remaining three, Cangxu is old and Zidi is only a 15-year-old girl, so the labor force has dropped sharply.

Fortunately, there are not many exploration team members, and there are fewer things in demand.

In the past morning, Zhenjin has made five short bows.Zidi finished the preliminary grinding process and began to test the medicinal properties of various materials.

In the afternoon, Zhenjin dug deep by the lake and got a lot of soil.

Using this soil and fire, Cangsu began to make clay pots.

In the evening, needle gold no longer cut down coconut trees, but climbed to the top of coconut trees to pick coconut fruit.

The coconut shell is very hard, even if it falls to the ground, as long as it does not hit a stone, it will be intact.

Needle Gold also picked a lot of palm leaves.

Like coconut fruit, both the palm leaves and the coconut tree themselves exude a strange smell of sulfur.

With Zidi's potion, the first clay pot was made.

During dinner, the pot stand successfully boiled a pot of hot water on the fire.

Drinking hot water, eating barbecue, needle gold and others have a strong sense of happiness.

"This is the most extreme enjoyment in the world!" Zidi exclaimed sincerely.

The morning of the third day.

Whoosh.

A wooden arrow flew out, and a bird on the canopy of the coconut tree was frightened and flew away.

Needle Gold sighed under the tree.

"Although the first short bow was made, I am not good at adjusting the bow, and the arrow's accuracy is very poor."

After moving his left shoulder, most of the previous injury has recovered, and it no longer affects needle gold archery.

Looking at the bird that was gradually flying away, Zhu Jin took out a wooden dart and threw it out by feeling.

At the moment of throwing, Zhenjin activated the core and transformed the arm into a bear arm.Then almost instantly, the mutation was canceled.

The speed of the dart was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning, it hit the bird quickly and accurately, and fell to the ground with it.

Zhenjin walked over and picked up the bird's body.The wooden dart was deeply inserted into the bird's chest, and only the tail of the dart remained in the bird's body, and it almost pierced through and flew out.

Bird meat is not precious anymore, and there is still a lot of lizard meat.But bird feathers are very important and are the material source of arrow feathers.Bird bones are also useful.

Last night, Zhen Jin told himself to try not to use the magic core in his heart.

But without Toba, there is no way to make a qualified arrow.In addition, the number of birds in the oasis is very rare, and it cannot be compared with the forest and rainforest areas, so the needle gold cannot easily let go of any bird.

Carrying the bird, Zhenjin returned to the original place and found a new basket woven of rattan.

The sack was full of mud from the lake.

Having eaten breakfast, Zhen Jin's original goal was to dig up the mud and transport it back in a basket.

On the way back, he saw a flying bird, and the young knight did not let it go, and shot it directly.

With a bird in one hand and a basket in the other, Zhenjin returned to the temporary camp.

Zidi is setting up a tent in the camp.

This tent is very simple. The skeleton is made of a few slender wooden slats to build a stable triangular structure, and then palm leaves are thrown on the surface.Then use rattan or twine to tie the palm leaves and wooden strips together.

The large palm leaves are layered on top of each other, and the tent floor is covered with fluffy hay, successfully creating a small place for private rest that is warm and windproof.

It is estimated that five such small tents will be built, one for each of Jin Jin, Cang Xu and others.

Zidi has already built one, and is building the second one.At this rate, everyone won't be sleeping on the floor tonight.

"There is an unexpected harvest." Zhen Jin handed the bird to Zidi.

Zidi looked up and smiled at Zhu Jin: "Just put it on the ground, here it is, this is the medicine I prepared. It has almost no smell, but it can drive away mosquitoes and poisonous ants."

Zhen Jin took the medicine and checked the situation of white buds and cyanobacteria.

The two lay motionless on the grass, not far from each other.

Zhen Jin leaned over and touched Bai Ya's forehead, and found that his high fever had subsided, and his breathing was smoother than before.

This is a good sign.

Zhen Jin was slightly overjoyed, Bai Ya was better at adjusting bows than him, but he could not be counted on right now.

"I hope he wakes up as soon as possible." Zhen Jin wished silently in his heart.

If Bai Ya wakes up, he no longer needs to be fed water, but can eat on his own initiative.He will eat more and take in more nutrients than he does now, which will be more conducive to his recovery.

And cyanobacteria...

He has woken up.

He was curled up on the ground, still motionless, his expression sluggish, his eyes numb, like a realistic puppet.

He is a bronze-level Dou Qi practitioner, and his body is much stronger than Bai Ya.But his mental state is very bad, and he has no interest in the food placed in front of him.

Jin Jin sighed softly.

The young knight is not good at persuading and comforting, and more importantly, in his heart, his feelings for the blue-green algae who killed his younger brother to survive are also very complicated.

Even for the act of persuading cyanobacteria, Zhen Jin felt faint fear.

Is this a kind of forgiveness and indulgence of the dark self?

If you indulge it, will it become bottomless?

Will let the core erode his heart, the noble Templar will not exist, and will be replaced by a dark and corrupted evildoer?

Zhen Jin carried the basket of soil, walked out of the temporary camp, and came to a nearby open space.

It used to be a meadow, and the grass was so thick that it was taller than one's knees, but now the grass has been burnt.

A fire pit was dug out of the bare open space, and Cang Xu was covering the fire pit with moist soil.

The building he built has taken shape, like a towering cylinder surrounding the fire pit.

"This is the earth kiln. The firewood is burned underground, and here is the grate. It is divided into upper and lower layers, and the firewood is burned in the lower layer. This structure allows the air to flow in faster and the fire to burn more vigorously." Cang Xu introduced.

The height of the prototype of the earthen kiln has not reached the knee of the needle gold, but even the complete earthen kiln is not half the height of the needle gold.

Zhenjin looked down and immediately saw the bottom of the earthen kiln, which was separated by a furnace bridge.The furnace bridge is a circular mud brick, about thirty centimeters in diameter, and its thickness is unclear.The mud-brick furnace bridge was apparently dry and had small round holes evenly distributed.Needle gold can be imagined: once the earth kiln starts to operate, the dry wood below burns, and the flame will rise from these small round holes to the top of the furnace bridge.

Although this earthen kiln is small and rudimentary, once it is built, it will be far more stable than a bonfire, the flame will burn at a higher temperature, and its practical value will be greater.

"With this earthen kiln, we can make bricks and tiles, and initially we can build a wooden house with tiles. If the earthen kiln is expanded, or more, we can bake bricks with soil, and then we can build bricks. The tile-roofed house." Cang Xu explained.

Zhu Jin couldn't help but admire: "Scholar Cang Xu, is there anything else you don't know?"

Cang Xu smiled and shook his head: "I don't know too much knowledge. In fact, I have only mastered this knowledge in recent years. I have long wanted to go to the Wilderness Continent and want to improve my writings. I have studied a lot. The data of the orcs are actually their living skills. The orcs are far behind our human race, and most of them are still in the tribal era. On the vast wilderness continent, there are very few city-states of the orcs.”

"So, is the mud enough?" Zhen Jin pointed to the basket full of mud.

Cang Xu calculated: "It's more than enough to build an earthen kiln, but I'm afraid it's not enough to burn a pottery. I'll have to trouble Master Jin Jin for another trip."

Of course Cang Xu didn't plan to burn any bricks.

After two teleportations, everyone knows that as long as the teleportation formation is present, the houses and camps built on this island have no practical value.

Clay pots are fired because they need a container for water.

Needle Gold, Cang Beard, and Zi Di each have a water bag.But to fill these water bags with water, the reserve of drinking water is far from enough.

They need more water, and the more water the better.

The oasis is just a place to rest, and they still have to set off, trekking in the desert.

There is a lot of drinking water reserves, and even if there is no new water source to draw water, everyone can support it for a long time.This makes them more resistant to risk.

Zhen Jin threw down all the mud by the lake and left the open space with an empty basket.

He did not immediately go to the lake, but sprinkled a circle of potions around the camp.

No threats were found.

For now, the oasis is safe.

But it's better to do things like going out.

Whether it is Zidi or Cangbeu, it is difficult to resist the sudden attack.

When Zhenjin returned to the camp again, Zidi was already setting up the third tent.

The progress is so fast, entirely because the private tent is so small.

A few wooden sticks build a frame, which is then covered with layers of natural palm leaves.People who get into the tent can basically only lie down, and will be able to cover their head and feet.It is very difficult to turn over in place. This pure natural tent is like a small green coffin that cuts corners, and the space is very cramped.

When she found out that it was needle gold, Zidi was relieved and started working again.

She was half-kneeling on the ground, her upper body crawling into the tent, seemingly adjusting the palm fronds inside.Her lower body was left outside, and her small brown leather boots were no longer covered by the magic robe. Because of her posture, the magic robe was close to her hips and outlined a touching curve.Seeing this scene, Zhen Jin couldn't help but tremble slightly.
