"Don't worry, I knew I wasn't very strong before I came, so I brushed up on my knowledge in this area. Although I don't remember everything, I should be able to tell whether something is edible or not if I encounter it," Er Ya said cautiously.

While eating meat every day is indeed a standard of a good life, that's assuming the meat is cooked in a delicious way and at least has some soy sauce for color.

We eat meat every day now. When it's grilled, it's alright; at least it can be described as golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But when it's boiled, well, that's another story.

It's cooked and edible; that's the assessment.

Although it's wilderness, they do need some plant fiber to balance their nutrition.

Therefore, Er Ya was determined to get the job of collecting edible plants.

Then he continued:

"Although moose are not as powerful as brown bears, they are not weak either. They are two meters tall and three meters long, and their charging force is terrifying. If it is a male moose, you also have to take into account the power of its antlers when it charges. It looks dangerous no matter how you look at it."

But whether you encounter a brown bear or a moose, be careful.

Ye Zi smiled and nodded, then said:

"I'm not leaving right away, but thank you for reminding me anyway."

You all know that I am strong, have good hearing, and am fast and accurate with my arrows.

But you probably didn't know I also possess martial arts skills. Since I have some time today, I'll show you.

Er Ya immediately said:

"Okay, okay."

The more skills Ye Zi has, the less dangerous it will be for her to go out alone. If she is strong and knows kung fu, it's like fighting two ordinary people, one with bare hands and the other with a brick in hand.

As the saying goes, no matter how strong the enemy is, one brick can bring them down.

Yellow Whale had the same idea. Just now, when Ye Zi decided to go out hunting alone, he was already planning to teach Ye Zi a few moves of wrestling and judo that he knew.

I never expected that Ye Zi would have martial arts skills.

Ye Zi got up, picked up two sticks of similar length, and walked into the woods to prepare to display them.

Smash, pick, push, flick, point, chop, block, frame, sweep, press.

Ye Zi could use these maces with ease, demonstrating their basic functions.

Two sticks struck the tree trunk at various angles as the leaves traveled.

After demonstrating a set of mace techniques, Ye Zi strolled over to her two audience members.

Er Ya had a feeling of being impressed but not quite understood.

Although the yellow whale doesn't use weapons, if you replace those tree trunks with human bodies and add the strength of the leaves, it looks dangerous no matter how you look at it.

The three returned to the campfire, and the yellow whale asked:

"You're using dual swords?"

"No, this is a mace technique, the kind of weapon Qin Qiong used."

The yellow whale exclaimed in surprise:

"Here are two iron maces for you. With your strength, you'll be practically invincible."

Ye Zi said helplessly:

"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you can be taken down with a single spear thrust. Cold weapons have already faded from the historical stage."

"That's true, but bullets always run out eventually, and there are times when there isn't enough time to change the magazine."

Otherwise, the military wouldn't have preserved bayonet fighting techniques.

The conversation successfully shifted from hunting to martial arts and combat.

During their casual conversation, Ye Zi brought up the issue of camp defense that they had discussed before.

The three houses are basically fully defensive; the rest is the overall defense of the camp.

So Yezi planned to put up a ring of barricades around the camp before setting off.

This naturally passed unanimously; as long as it helps the camp and survival, it will definitely be done this way.

The next morning, Ye Zi got up and began collecting materials, mainly vines, as they didn't have enough leather ropes for this purpose.

Therefore, rattan can be used as a substitute.

The area where barricades need to be set up is neither too long nor too short. The front and sides are fine because there are trees, so all you need to do is tie a horizontal bar in the middle of the trees and place a row of sharpened wooden stakes diagonally on the bar.

When it's the turn of the next group, it's necessary to build complete barricades, because there are small hills behind the camp with no trees, so the previous steps cannot be repeated.

The complete barricades are not difficult to make, they just take time, but fortunately the three of them have plenty of time.

Two triangular frames are connected in the middle by a small tree trunk about two meters long, with some sharpened wooden spikes tied to the connecting trunk.

Finally, move it over and put it away, and that's it.

This process took Ye Zi and her two companions two days. While the camp wasn't exactly impregnable, it was certainly strong enough to defend against attacks from large animals.

In wilderness survival, this level of defense is already maxed out. As long as the camp isn't attacked by a pack of wolves, there will be no danger.

Of course, such a defensive arrangement cannot prevent small animals from entering the camp, since the gaps between the wooden spikes on the barricades are quite large, and small animals can easily pass through.

However, small animals have less attack power, and their main targets for defense are large animals.

The security issues at the camp have been resolved; now all that remains is food and warmth.

It's time to put Yezi's plan to hunt alone into action.

However, before going out, Yezi finally figured out how to solve the problem of boiling water for a bath.

A stone pot, as the name suggests, is a pot made of stone, and the pot must be large enough.

The inspiration for the stone pot came from Er Ya's stone slab grilled meat.

While making the barricades, Er Ya collected vines around the camp and found a smooth, flat stone slab. After bringing it back to the camp, they ate grilled meat on the stone slab that night.

It was this stone slab that made Yezi think that it would be possible to make a pot out of stone to boil water.

Then, Yezi's hunting plan was delayed by a day; he needed to find a similar large rock and then make a pot.

The search for stones went smoothly, since we were guarding a hill full of rocks.

After finding the material, hollowing out the middle is the most difficult part, because if you're not careful, the stone will crack in two or even into several pieces.

The result, needless to say, was that the stone cracked, but only in two halves. Ye Zi changed direction and continued to dig out from the cracked side.

This time, Ye Zi was more careful, striking the pickaxe very slowly.

Pieces of gravel fell off one by one, and after two days, a stone pot with a diameter of about eighty centimeters was basically formed.

However, it's still a bit short of boiling water because the pot walls are too thick, which makes heating difficult.

So Yezi's work is not yet finished.

The half-stone in the yellow whale's hand was progressing even slower than the leaf.

But if even one of them succeeds, they can take a hot shower.

Another day passed, and Ye Zi dared not tap anymore. However, the stone pot was still usable at this point, although its thickness was not very uniform.

The thickest part is about 10 centimeters thick, and the thinnest part is about 5 centimeters thick.

The reason he dared not continue hammering was mainly because he was not sure if the next pickaxe would remove the thickness he wanted.

I tried putting it on the fire, and it boiled water, but it took a long time, about an hour, to reach a point where it could be mixed with some cold water for a bath.

It's only an hour, no big problem, acceptable.

Unexpectedly, the problem of bath water was solved before we even went out.
