Chapter 4-113: Exploring the Forest (Part II)

"Malagobi's, which bastard said that this primitive man used 'drilling wood to make fire' to obtain the source of fire? Isn't this TMD fooling people?" Su Ze, who was tired and sweating profusely, dropped the wooden stick in his hateful hand and scolded the unknown "brick man".

That's right, Su Ze is learning from primitive people to drill wood to make fire. But after he was busy for a long time, he still failed shamefully.

"It's impossible for these liars, I'm so tired that I'm about to burn, and I don't see any ......sparks," Su Ze muttered to himself angrily.

Su Ze has wronged others.

In the east of Hainan and other places, there are still some old people who have retained the skill of drilling wood for fire, and have also been approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of "national intangible cultural heritage list".

This is real, but Su Ze is usually not interested in this kind of thing, so he just doesn't know. There is more than one way to drill wood for fire like this. In addition to the most well-known classical method of drilling wood for fire, there are also several types of classic wood drilling method, planer method for fire, Iroquois method for fire, bowstring method for drilling wood, and so on.

It's just that drilling wood to make fire is a technical job, and if you don't master certain skills, you can't drill fire even if you are tired.

For example, Su Ze now uses the classical method of drilling wood to make fire, which is the most widely understood, but at the same time the most difficult method. The fire tool of this method is composed of two parts, one is a drill fire plate and the other is a drill rod, and the two can be taken out with the cooperation of the two. The drill plate should be dry and easy to burn wood, the drill rod should be of moderate thickness, and there is a certain skill when making fire, and it is not just brute force that can drill out of the fire.

Moreover, it is invisible when Mars is just born, and in order to make the invisible Mars become a vigorous flame, there must be a medium, that is, ignited with flammable core velvet, plantain root fiber, kapok batting, etc., and it is also necessary to lose no time in blowing air and oxygen to achieve the purpose of making fire.

Su Ze is now completely using brute force, and he can drill out of fire to have a ghost.

In fact, among several methods of drilling wood for fire, the Iroquois method of fire is the most efficient. This device is similar to a rope drill for woodworking. One end of the drill shaft is wound with two ropes, and the other end of the rope is fixed to a rigid transverse plate. The middle part of the drill shaft is made of a hardwood wheel as a processor. When the rope is wound and pressed down on the transverse plate, the drill shaft will rotate extremely fast and sparks will be drilled.

However, Su Ze didn't know this method, and even if he knew it now, he didn't want to use it.

After resting for a while, Su Ze shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it, this method doesn't work at all, let's use my own bloodline skills......"

In fact, Su Xue didn't have no other way to obtain the fire source, although he couldn't cast spells now, but the fully activated divine blood on his body was not blind. Even though full spell-like spells can't be used right now, it's no problem to point out the fire.

Just now I played with drilling wood to make fire, it was completely a whim, and I was just curious.

After speaking, Su Xue picked up a prepared dry straw pole and concentrated his mind on the thumb and index finger of his left hand. Suddenly, he felt his heart move slightly, exuding a strange power. The force flowed quickly through the veins to the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and then I saw that the dry straw began to turn yellow and charred, and then smoke appeared, and after a few seconds, a small flame slowly ignited.

", what kind of bird feather drill wood fire method to die, or Lao Tzu's bloodline skill is useful" Su Ze scolded a few more words, and then smiled and threw the ignited straw into the pyre.

"Crackling~~~" Soon, a bonfire burst into flames.

........................................................................

"Hmm~~~ It's delicious and delicious, although there is no seasoning, but it's still better than fruits and roots, I really don't understand what those vegetarians think, they don't eat meat, it's so stupid...... I ate the fruit roots for a week, and now I want to vomit when I look at those fruit roots......"

Su Ze held a roasted triangular lamb hind leg and feasted on it while spitting on those vegetarians.

After hunting this batch of triangular sheep, Su Xue finally temporarily solved the problem of meat and salt. Although it is difficult to find salt directly, indirect methods can be used. That is the blood of animals, because animal blood always contains salt, and they are also one of the useful sources of mineral elements.

Su Xue took out the blood of a triangular sheep and put it in several husks as a source of salt.

After eating and drinking, Su Ze began to process the other parts of the triangular sheep, namely the horns, bones, tail and fur.

Now Su Ze has not only solved the problem of eating, but even his clothes and weapons are about to be upgraded. The triangular sheep sacrificed their horns and tails to become Su Ze's weapons, and they also sacrificed their fur to become Su Ze's new clothes and shoes.

In the past few days, Su Zedu has been nesting in the cave, making leather clothes, leather shoes and weapons.

A few days before the hunt, Su Ze found a few pieces of Heavenly Hearthstone of suitable shape and sharpened them into stone knives. The heavenly furnace stone is very hard, almost about the same hardness as corundum, and Su Xue sharpened it for two days before he made a few stone knives, stone hammers and other tools.

However, with the tools, the rest is much better.

Although his skills are not too good, and he doesn't have the tools at his disposal, Su Xue is a Jindan stage cultivator after all, and his control over his body is far beyond ordinary people. So what he makes, despite its shabby appearance, performs well.

Su Ze first used a stone knife to cut and separate the sheepskin, sheep's tail and other parts, and then began to process the sheepskin.

Hides must be made before they can be used to make clothes. If fresh hides are used directly, they are not only easy to rot and smell, but also easy to damage.

Su Ze now has no nitrates and no suitable containers. Therefore, he used the simplest nitrate method, which is the "plant ash nitrate method". He first scraped the flesh and fat from the hides, then rubbed the ashes of the campfire on the inner layers of the skin, and then rubbed vigorously to mix them thoroughly. When you're done, spread out the skin and let it dry on the ground.

A few days later, a rudimentary piece of leather came out.

Of course, Su Xue has not been idle these days. After he finished making the skin, he began to use the horns, bones, and tail of the triangular sheep to make new weapons and tools.

The three horns on the head of the triangular sheep are a very regular conical shape, straight and smooth, very hard, and extremely tough. There is almost no processing, it is a natural spear head or military thorn. Su Xue didn't have much to do, after taking off these horns, he just dealt with the roots, and loaded them directly onto his spear and javelin.

The tail of the triangular sheep resembles that of a crocodile, with tough bony plates on the surface and many bone spurs. If it's not too thick to hold, it's a natural whip.

However, Su Ze didn't plan to use a strange weapon like a whip, because he had never practiced it before. He used these tails for another purpose, he pried those bone spurs off the tails and used them as arrows for arrows. And those skins with bone plates were put on the shoes by Su Ze as a reinforcement for the soles.

Then he made a single longbow out of sheep's tendons and a branch that he named "Ebony Tree" as a bow.

........................................................................

Five days later, the "refreshed" classmate Su Ze entered the forest again.

This time is different from the last one. Look, he was dressed in a leather suit, with a pair of sheepskin shoes on his feet, a longbow and quiver on his back, a spear in his hand, two stone knives at his waist, and two military thorns made of sheep's horns tied to his calves.

Su Ze looked at his dress, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and laugh at himself: "Hehe, Lao Tzu has finally evolved from a Beijinger to a mountaintop cave man now......"

Then, he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "*** Garggus, if you don't make you unable to survive and die, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Su."

The purpose of his entry into the forest this time, hunting was only secondary. He had hunted five triangular sheep last time, and he still hadn't finished eating them. In order to preserve it, he took all the mutton that he had not eaten that day and dried it on the campfire and made it into dried meat.

His main purpose was to find water and salt.

Although he could now get water and salt from wild fruits and sheep's blood, it was not a long-term solution. Besides, he hadn't been groomed for more than ten days, and his whole body was stinky.

There is no problem with the water source, because since there are all triangular sheep here, there must be a water source nearby.

Because the vast majority of mammals, especially herbivores, are regularly hydrated, they are usually never too far from a water source. Because they need to drink water in the morning and evening. The triangular sheep is both a mammal and a herbivore, so if you keep an eye on their tracks, you will find water.

There are also clues to salt, because all mammals need salt, and salt can be found by watching their whereabouts. On Earth, African elephants take the risk of reaching into deep dark caves just to lick the salt off their walls.

Therefore, now Su Ze plans to find another group of triangular sheep, as long as he follows them carefully. When the sun goes down, these guys who have finished foraging will take Su Ze to their old nest, where there must be a water source or salt mine

Su Ze followed the animal path where the triangular sheep walked a few days ago and began to look for their traces.

However, the "animal path" in the forest can easily disappear, and if you don't walk for a few days, it will be filled with plants. Five days have passed now, and the traces of the "beast path" have almost disappeared.

Su Ze carefully observed the clues on the ground and judged the direction in which the triangular sheep flock left.

He was now far more observant, and soon found clues in the grass.

However, he was just about to follow, when he suddenly heard the screams of a triangular sheep in the forest. Judging by the sound, the distance is not too far, less than a kilometer away.

There is a case

Su Ze immediately took a spear and quietly touched it.
