Chapter 13 The Chocobo is caught
The grilled fish for breakfast made Jia Zhengjin very memorable.
Although you can eat coconut enough, you will always feel different when you eat fruit for three meals a day. After actually eating the meat, I felt that all the strength was back!
"This is the centipede!" he said, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, searching along the slime left by the centipede. As a result, I actually found a cave, and from a distance, I saw countless giant centipedes coming in and out of the cave, making a creepy hissing sound.
Jia Zhengjin was stunned in an instant. You can't necessarily win alone, and you have no hope of defeating such a nest of giant centipedes! It is estimated that these centipedes can drown themselves in a mouthful of venom.
But he also wanted to use the centipede's venom to catch fish or hunt. The only way to do this is a trap!
After roughly calculating the distance, he took out a stone shovel and found a clearing, and then dug a few trap pits on the spot. This time, the pit is filled with sharp wooden thorns, and if a centipede falls into it, it will be pierced!
The trap is dug up, but how to lure the centipede over is a problem. Last night, the one probably appeared near the house by mistake, and was very unlucky enough to step on a wooden thorn.
He can't use himself as bait. If these centipedes find out, they will definitely not be able to escape!
Jia Zhengjin sat down cross-legged, pressed the middle fingers of both hands to his temples, closed his eyes and pondered. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, turned around and quickly returned the way he came.
He dug up the entrails of the fish that had been buried in the morning from the river, brought them and threw them into several traps. Then he turned around and quickly fled, hiding behind a boulder on a small hill nearby.
The smell of the entrails attracted the centipedes, and they crawled to the trap one after another, ready to enjoy a delicious meal. However, the sharp wooden spikes instantly penetrated the centipedes that arrived first, and these unlucky centipedes struggled desperately, but unexpectedly, the same kind that came behind pressed on their bodies, causing a perfect assist!
The centipedes that arrive the fastest are cannon fodder, ruthlessly killed by wooden thorn traps and companions. The lucky centipede lost its threat to the corpses of its companions and left satisfied, after eating the fish entrails.
After observing for a long time, when the centipedes that had finished eating the fish offal had left, Jia Zhengjin sneaked over very carefully to check his traps.
The Wooden Thorn Trap killed a total of nine giant centipedes, and although they had no experience, they contributed nine precious poison sacs and strange silks.
Jia Zhengjin accepted it when he saw it, and said that today's fish offal was also used up.
"With these poison sacs, whether it's fishing or hunting, it's no problem!" he happily smeared venom on the stone spear and glanced at the centipede cave in the distance, which would be his venom collection base in the future. When you run out of venom, come here and get a little bit, and life is boundless!
The arrows were also coated with poison, and Jia Zhengjin decided to eat a serious meal of meat.
Fish is also meat, but it's still different.
The most important thing in the forest is all kinds of otherworldly creatures, and at this moment, Jia Zhengjin's target is a lonely deer.
Actually, I'm not sure if it's a deer, because it's just a little similar in appearance, and the horns on its head are not separated from the left and right, but are crowded together like a coral, which is very peculiar. Moreover, the pattern on this strange deer is black and white, and if you don't pay attention, you will think it is a zebra!
At this moment, this zebra-patterned, coral horn-horned otherworldly creature is eating grass with its head down, and it doesn't notice Jia Zhengjin who is hiding in the grass and trying not to make a sound and slowly approaches.
"This is it!" Jia Zhengjin chose the most suitable sniper position, slowly stood up, and the brightly colored mushroom headdress appeared. Underneath the mushroom headdress, he drew his bow and arrows and aimed them at his prey.
"Whew~~" Hold your breath after taking a deep breath, so that your hands no longer shake up and down due to breathing. The right eye confirms the track of the strange animal in front of the arrow.
"Whoosh!" the bowstring is pulled to the maximum and shot hard. Poisoned arrows come in an instant!
"Lulu~~" The zebra-patterned strange deer jumped and quickly disappeared from sight.
Jia Zhengjin hurriedly rushed over, only to find that the arrow was stuck straight in the head of a fat, bird-like creature.
"Ga~~" A group of creatures that resemble this strange bird fled privately in a panic. Their wings are too small to fly. However, his legs are very well developed, and he can walk like a fly, like an ostrich without a neck.
"Ahem! I was aiming for this one in the first place...... That's right!" Jia Zhengjin blinked, not knowing whether to comfort himself or explain to someone who didn't exist in the air.
【NEWS】You killed Chocobo and gained 15 XP!
It turns out that this fat, neckless ostrich is called a chocobo?
They are so large that they can hide in the bushes without being detected, mainly by relying on the green feathers on their bodies that blend with the environment, as well as the particularly lush bushes of the other world.
The meat on such a large chocobo is enough for Jia Zhengjin to eat for several days! And the feathers on its body are also necessary for making arrows.
It's too big to take away?
Jia Zhengjin took out the dagger and used his gathering skills to easily disassemble the carcass of the chocobo into a large amount of meat and feathers. Of course, the internal organs should also be stored in the virtual backpack and taken away, which is an important item for hunting centipedes to obtain poison sacs.
As for the remaining chocobo bones, Jia Zhengjin dug a pit and buried them to avoid attracting dangerous carnivorous creatures. He finally found a relatively safe place to build a home, and if there were large terrifying carnivorous creatures near his home, it would be really miserable!
The problem of food has been solved, with bird meat, coconut, and fish at any time, it can be said that there is no need for food and clothing. Then the next step is to collect resources more diligently every day and develop yourself!
At the current rate of mining, basically the iron ore collected in a day is only enough to make one iron tool.
And these most basic iron tools are very economical! You must know that iron armor with good defense power actually requires thirty iron ingots and ten iron chains. The most economical iron bracer in armor also requires fifteen iron ingots!
However, Iron armor requires a tool table or blacksmith shop first. Needless to say, the blacksmith requires a lot of materials, but also blueprints or skill points that can unlock buildings.
The tool table is a little simpler, requiring a hammer plus 50 iron ingots, 30 copper ingots, and 100 wood!
At Jia Zhengjin's speed, it would take at least a little more than a week to make a tool table. But you can't help but build it, because many more practical things can only be made through the tool table!
Let's mine!
