Chapter 23 Panic

A lot of ceramic bowls were cracked in the furnace. Actually, as long as they didn’t leak, he didn’t care about the cracks.

After the temperature dropped, Zhou Xu asked Butterfly to help move the ceramic bowls to the lake. Then, without any hesitation, he started washing them with lake water.

In this process, he was able to confirm that these ceramic bowls were fully capable of holding water! This was undoubtedly a great surprise for Zhou Xu, who had already prepared for failure the first time.

But if you think about it carefully, compared with the primitive people of the Neolithic Age in history, his thinking was definitely ahead of the times when it came to building stoves.

Even primitive people in the Neolithic Age could make it, so how could he not make it? In fact, as long as the threshold is low enough, with the most basic premise of "being usable", regardless of cracks, asymmetry, or ugliness, the yield rate of this furnace is still very impressive.

He put all the washed pottery bowls aside. Although it was almost evening, Zhou Xu couldn't wait to start making pottery jars.

"Come here, Butterfly. You will be mainly responsible for this for the next period of time."

At this time, Zhou Xu fully believed that with the skillful hands of Butterfly, the pottery jars made would definitely be better than his.

However, he still gave Butterfly an example first, and based on his limited knowledge of playing with lamps, he told her some precautions.

For now, Butterfly is all that's needed to make the pottery, and he doesn't need too many people, otherwise his furnace won't be able to keep up.

As for other manual work in the tribe, such as weaving baskets and bark bags used for hunting, they will no longer be needed in the short term.

The quality of the product itself is still very good, and a batch of spare parts have already been prepared, so there is no need for more for the time being.

Currently, all staff except Butterfly have also had new arrangements.

They were responsible for grinding stone axes and stone bullets, and weaving a large backpack.

There is nothing much to say about the stone axes and stone bullets. This large backpack is mainly used by slingers to carry stone bullets.

On this day, it started to drizzle, which was not a good thing for Zhou Xu and his friends.

Because all the mice hid, it was basically impossible for the hunting team to catch their prey.

At the same time, their tribe's food supply suddenly became urgent, and they had to once again start gnawing on the bark and roots of trees that they used as their food reserves.

Dashan and his friends have long been accustomed to this kind of day, and there is nothing strange about it.

In fact, to them, having a meal every day like these few days, with meat in every meal, has never happened before. It is a rare thing for them.

But Zhou Xu is different. As a person who used to eat three meals a day, he has never had a full meal since he came here.

Now, I don’t have any food to eat, and I’m so hungry that I feel dizzy.

There was really no other way, so of course he just gnawed on the bark and roots. One cannot really starve himself to death, but to him, that would be like chewing wax.

They had originally hoped that the rain would stop in half a day, so that they could try to go hunting in the remaining half day.

But it turns out that this kind of drizzle is the most annoying. Once it starts, it will continue to fall without stopping, with no sign of stopping.

But adjust your mindset. Everyone is so tired every day. Being forced to take a day off occasionally and have a good rest may be a good thing.

At the same time, the rain from the sky is undoubtedly natural fresh water for them.

Just put out all the previously fired pottery bowls to collect water. At least I can drink a few more bowls of water today.

The rain continued until the late night. After a day's rest, everyone gathered their energy and, full of desire for food, started a new day of hunting.

Zhou Xu also took Dashan and the others to the black forest, preparing to hunt the giant spider.

Apparently, after some serious consideration and weighing, he finally decided to set the hunting location in this dark forest.

The barren wasteland environment is too dangerous for them, and their fragile bodies need adequate shelter to ensure their safety.

"See this tree? You can just turn sideways and hide behind the trunk of this tree..."

In the dark woods, Zhou Xu gestured and told Dashan and the others about his tactical arrangements and ideas for action.

If you just talk to them in the camp, it will be difficult for them to understand.

But when you get there, you show them directly and they understand what you want them to do.

Of course, even so, Dashan and the others still have a lot to remember, after all, he has to consider various situations.

Thinking about the appearance of the monster, this will definitely be a life-and-death battle, and he dare not relax or be careless at all.

Just as they were busy doing this, a tribal member from deep in the Black Forest suddenly rushed towards them in a panic.

The moment he saw this figure, Zhou Xu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Because he was the one who arranged that tribe member to be outside the cave, responsible for keeping an eye on the giant spider.

"No, no! That giant spider is coming out of the cave!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At that moment, the fear in the other party's words could not be concealed at all.

In fact, there was no need for the tribe member to tell them, because they had already seen it! At this moment, the huge figure of the spider monster directly broke into their field of vision.

Zhou Xu, who had seen the monster before, was able to keep his composure at this moment.

But Dashan and the others were obviously frightened, and their entire bodies became stiff.

After all, no matter how aptly Zhou Xu's description of the horror of the giant spider was, it was not as profound as the feeling they had after seeing it with their own eyes!

"Is this the spider monster the leader mentioned before?!"

The sudden appearance of the giant spider completely disrupted Zhou Xu's original plan.

At this point in time, he is not ready at all.

"Disperse, disperse quickly!!"

There was no time to think, as the giant spider had already rushed in front of them.

Its huge body, which looked like an off-road vehicle, was more flexible than he had expected.

At the critical moment of life and death, everyone fled in panic.

[Damn it, it has come to this, I have to do it even if I don’t want to! ]

Zhou Xu, who was forced into a corner at this time, also became more and more fearless. He took the opportunity when the giant spider rushed to the other side, quickly organized Dashan and others, turned the slingshot, and launched an attack on the giant spider.

At the critical moment of life and death, facing the death threat from the giant spider at any time, many people performed poorly. Only Dashan managed to keep his footing at the critical moment. After spinning the slingshot at high speed, he threw it out fiercely.

“Hit me!!!”

The update is here, and I would like to thank my book friends '人间灿烂的', '懒散会心', and '秦至QZ' for their rewards!
