Chapter 45 Searching for Tile Materials

Ye Feng checked his food backpack and, finding nothing missing, breathed a sigh of relief…

Now, the benefits of the treehouse and the campfire are clearly evident…

He yawned and slowly walked towards the pond below...

But before he even reached the pond, he discovered that at the edge of the pond…

Two small snakes with yellowish-brown markings were intertwined... clearly mating...

Ye Feng rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and recognized them as two short-tailed vipers…

This snake releases neurotoxins, making it a barely considered highly venomous snake; a bite can very likely result in death.

They prefer to hunt along the edges of rivers and ponds, and their mating season is generally from May to September... and right now, it's the end of September...

Ye Feng grinned. Breakfast was delivered to his door so early in the morning; there was no reason not to eat it.

He immediately turned back to the camp, grabbed a knife and spear, and rushed over...

He raised the spear high and slammed it down hard, hitting the two snakes squarely on the heads.

With that, he flattened their heads. After a few more blows, Ye Feng pulled out a knife, chopped off the snake heads, and threw them downstream…

Just as he was rejoicing about where his breakfast would be, yesterday at the site where wild boars and jaguars were dissected…

A bunch of footprints appeared out of nowhere...

Ye Feng leaned closer and took a look. Although quite some time had passed, he still recognized it…

These are... all wild boar footprints.

Judging from the depth of the footprints, it's not hard to deduce that they were left by the wild boars when they came to drink water last night.

Furthermore, Ye Feng also discovered that after the autopsy yesterday…

Some of the leftover internal organs were even eaten...

And among them, he discovered the wild boar king's wide and deep footprints...

Ye Feng muttered through gritted teeth:

"Hmph, you beast, so you're still here? Don't worry, I'll come find you after I've finished my business."

As he spoke, he unconsciously touched his buttocks… He had wanted to get revenge for this for a long time…

After a brief stop to clean the snake meat, he returned to the camp…

He filled a frying pan with water, added a few pork bones, threw in all the chopped snake meat, and then climbed a tree to pick some elephant leg leaves…

Using the leftover pork offal from last night, a simple yet nutritious stew was ready...

The broth paired with snake meat surprisingly created a unique flavor, and the three of them devoured it in no time...

After finishing, Ye Feng briefly arranged the day's work, and Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie picked up their knives and went up the mountain...

Their main responsibility was to collect materials for building the treehouse roof tiles, such as palm leaves and moss for rain protection...

Ye Feng, on the other hand, was responsible for creating doors and windows, as well as fixing the walls, since cooking would be done inside.

If the air cannot be ventilated, it is very easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning.

Simply burying the wood used for the walls in the ground wouldn't be secure enough. Therefore, he needed to use rattan to bind them together piece by piece…

After organizing my thoughts, I began to take action…

First, choose the location where the window will be opened, and then use a tape measure to measure the area to be opened.

Then, using a knife, they carved lines on the measured wood, commonly known as: a circuit diagram...

Next, pull out all those pieces of wood and use a saw to cut out the windows one by one along the route diagram.

As for windows, the simplest and easiest type of support will suffice.

That is, just push it from the inside out, then take out any wooden stick and wedge it vertically against the windowsill.

This is not difficult to make; anyone can do it.

The specific steps are to bind wood and rattan together according to the size of the window to make one the same size.

It doesn't need to be perfectly sealed; as long as it completely covers the window, it's a qualified window.

Without further ado, the sun had already fully risen...

With his previous experience in construction, he is now becoming increasingly skilled at his work...

In less than an hour, he had revealed a rectangular window of about 0.8 square meters on each of the four walls.

And it was extremely neat and tidy, giving it a professional-looking feel...

Immediately afterwards, he began to reinforce the wall with rattan, using a very simple binding method.

Just like when we laid the treehouse platform before, we used a wave-shaped, one-up-one-down binding method.

He was extremely familiar with this task and did it with utmost care, so much so that he didn't even notice half an hour had passed.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountain jungle, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie's work was also progressing very smoothly...

They collected a whole backpack full of palm leaves in just one hour…

They had basically cut down all the plants on the outskirts of the mountain that could be used as roof tiles.

At this moment, they are looking for more suitable materials…

After walking for about a few minutes, Fu Changxiong suddenly stopped, pointing excitedly at a patch of clumps ahead...

It was covered with dense moss, just as Ye Feng had told them before they came…

Moss is the perfect plant to use as roof tiles; it absorbs water, is easy to shape, and can be adjusted to any size…

Seeing this, the two couldn't wait to start digging...

The two, so focused, seemed to have forgotten... something Ye Feng had said to them...

When hiking in the wild, your own safety must be your top priority, especially in unfamiliar places; you must always be vigilant.

At that moment, neither of the two, engrossed in their work, realized that from the moment they entered the thicket of vegetation, they had been targeted by a pair of fierce eyes…

Besides the fierce glint in his eyes, there was also a hint of curiosity...

And the owner of those eyes was none other than the wild boar king, weighing over 300 kilograms…

Its long, slanted fangs protruded from its mouth, and saliva dripped from its mouth from time to time.

Its nose twitched and wriggled, as if sniffing at the two people not far ahead, wondering if they were edible...

Its massive black body was hidden in the vegetation, slowly approaching the two...

The two of them, completely oblivious, continued chatting and laughing as they dug up the moss...

Suddenly! Just as the wild boar king was only a dozen meters away from the two, it launched a sudden charge…

Its massive body was like a black streak of light, knocking down all the vegetation it passed by, making a rustling sound.

Fu Changxiong immediately noticed the sound. Seeing the vegetation behind Qi Xiaojie rapidly bend over, he instantly thought of a wild boar…

Because he and Qi Xiaojie dug separately, the distance between them was about eight or nine meters...

He immediately got up and ran towards Qi Xiaojie, shouting as he ran…

"Little stutterer! Get out of the way! There's a wild boar behind us!"

The instant he spoke, Qi Xiaojie had already noticed the noise behind him…

Just as he was about to turn around, the wild boar king's head... was already pressed against his back...
