Chapter 7: The Otherworldly Jungle
Jia Zhengjin, who was wearing a full set of fiber armor, held a stone spear in his hand, and walked cautiously in the forest with dense grass and thorns. At this moment, the image is similar to that of primitive people who have just entered civilization.
The chest-high grass hides countless strange creatures. He was startled by a giant caterpillar half a man tall. Fortunately, the insect was very docile, and he didn't pay attention to Jia Zhengjin who broke into the forest, and continued to eat the leaves with relish with his head down.
Twenty or thirty meters tall trees can be seen everywhere, and the canopies are connected together to shade the entire forest. Sunlight doesn't shine in, so the woods are very different from the dry heat outside, with dew everywhere and a damp smell in the air.
"Gollum~~" A group of zebra-patterned strange birds, standing in a straight line on the thick branches, tilted their heads and looked at Jia Zhengjin curiously.
"Hiss~~" The giant centipede, seven or eight meters long and the thickness of a bucket, passed through the nearby grass area, ignoring the intruder who froze instantly.
As soon as I stepped into the forest, so many strange creatures appeared. Jia Zhengjin is also under a lot of pressure!
Not to mention anything else, the centipede just now is estimated to be unable to defeat itself. With his current equipment, it is estimated that he can be swallowed in one bite!
Retreat? It's all ready, what's the point of retreating?
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Zhengjin pretended to be bold and raised his stone spear to advance towards the interior of the forest again.
The further inside, the more otherworldly creatures appeared. Giant cockroaches that are more than three meters long, silver spiders that look like machines and are full of edges, strange flowers with mouths that make vomiting noises, strange objects that look like rotten wood but actually have eyes on the front and back, and a herd of unicorn goats that look like goats but only have a sharp horn on the door of their heads......
The creatures here are so strange that there is nothing like Earth.
"The creatures in this world don't look so dangerous except for their strange appearances!" Jia Zhengjin was a little relieved to find that the various strange creatures in the forest were basically not aggressive.
Just as he was relieved, there was a strange sound above his head that made his scalp tingle. The sound is like an uncomfortable sound made when a fingernail runs across a blackboard.
Jia Zhengjin hurriedly squatted down, buried himself in the dense grass, and looked up at the location where the voice came from.
I saw a giant python with a fiery red body entrenched on the top of the big tree, opening its bloody mouth that could swallow Jia Zhengjin in the air, and confronting a giant bird that seemed to be wearing electric light.
The giant bird is bigger than Jia Zhengjin, but it also looks very small in front of the giant python. But it was not afraid at all, vibrating a bunch of golden wings and flying around the big tree where the python was.
When the golden giant bird flies, some of its feathers are scattered.
Jia Zhengjin's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved cautiously and began to collect the feathers that fell from the sky.
Feathers can be used to craft arrows, and are an essential ingredient for some armor.
The giant bird flew around the python for a while, and suddenly opened its mouth to let out a sharp cry, and at the same time, its huge body suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and slammed into the python's head.
"A flash of light?" Jia Zhengjin said in surprise, "Will you be 100,000 volts?"
Of course, the golden giant bird would not answer Jia Zhengjin's question, it was engrossed in turning into lightning and continued to attack.
The python was attacked several times in the head and seemed to be annoyed. He opened his mouth again and made a scalp-tingling sound like a finger running across a blackboard, and a scorching flame erupted from his mouth.
"Wow~~ This scene is even more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster!" Jia Zhengjin sighed, bent down and hid in the grass very decisively, and then fled the scene quickly. He didn't want to be implicated by these two giant otherworldly creatures, or die in their lightning and flames!
After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of a rope around me. Then a group of "mushrooms" came out of the grass one after another! This group of mushrooms is the kind of umbrella-shaped mushrooms that are very common on earth, but they are extremely large, and the tallest is as high as Jia Zhengjin's knees. And they can bounce and be alive.
Jia Zhengjin hurriedly raised the stone spear, but unexpectedly, the mushrooms completely ignored his weapon, and instead jumped at his feet affectionately, rubbing like a puppy.
Jia Zhengjin's mind was in a mess, and he swept away the mushroom-shaped creatures that were close to him with a stone spear, but who expected them to gather again immediately, still sticking to his feet and rubbing constantly.
"Go, go!" he was so entangled that he struck the strange mushrooms at his feet with a stone spear. It took a long time to get rid of them.
Enduring the dew in the lush grass until his clothes were soaked, passing by and dodging a myriad of strange or dangerous-looking otherworldly creatures, he finally used his skill to find the vein of iron ore closest to the starting point.
The vein is located next to a clear river and is surrounded by a relatively open meadow. The most important thing is that there are no dangerous creatures around, and there are countless rocks, fruit trees and grass resources along the river.
"A good location for building an initial base!" Jia Zhengjin made a rough round, and after making sure it was safe, he replaced the stone spear in his hand with a stone axe, and began to quickly weed the grass by the river, preparing to sort out the open space for the construction of a new shelter. At the same time, you can also get a large amount of plant fiber when weeding, which can be used to farm crafting skills in your free time.
After all, the higher the level of manufacturing skills, the better the quality of the items made!
"Jumping ~~" Just as he was busy, the strange mushroom spirit just now appeared in the grass of the forest. They watched Jia Zhengjin from a distance for a while, and then rushed over happily, sticking to his feet and rubbing against him.
"Don't bother you!" Jia Zhengjin rushed a few times to no avail, so angry that he simply took out the stone spear and launched an attack, and stabbed it directly.
After a mushroom essence was pierced, the body immediately dried up. But the other mushroom spirits were indifferent and continued to cling to him.
【Message】You have killed the mushroom and gained 1 experience.
"Isn't that weird?!" is also a bit of experience, not to mention that these things don't resist yet. Jia Zhengjin simply raised the stone spear and opened the killing ring, slaughtering all the annoying mushrooms.
He was relieved that there was finally nothing sticky at his feet. After fumbling around these mushroom corpses for a while, basically each mushroom will contribute 1 [spores], which can probably be planted. Nothing else!
