...Chapter 228 Primitive Beast World Cubs 3
If you encounter unfamiliar plants, fruits, or mushrooms along the way, that's okay. Just pick one, and you'll trigger a hint.
White mushrooms: non-toxic and edible.
Red mushrooms: non-toxic and edible.
As long as there was no indication that the food was poisonous and edible, Shen Ci put it away. When she arrived in this world, she was wearing clothes that were in line with the style of this era, but the color was grayish and it was impossible to tell what kind of fur it was made of.
Anyway, they're all generated by the system.
Having picked a bunch of apples and mushrooms, and with the blessing of the Godly Rich System, the cave now has abundant supplies, and all the supplies she obtained have triggered double returns.
Hay x2, Apple x2, Mushroom x2, Firewood x2.
So, two large piles of firewood were piled up in the cave, enough to last at least a month or two. The big, red apples were turned into two piles, perfectly replicating the number and shape of each one.
The pile of mushrooms on the ground has turned into two piles. You can get twice the results with half the effort. It's so efficient!
With a cave to shelter from the wind and rain, food, and fire, there's no need to worry about hunger or cold. The next problem to solve is water.
There's a small pond not far from my house. The water is clean, but if it's not, there's nothing we can do. Here, we either drink from the pond or from the river, which is even further from home.
She remembered that when she was gathering firewood, looking for fruit, and picking mushrooms in the forest, she saw a lot of leaves, very large leaves. Shen Ci went back to the forest and picked a new leaf to confirm that it was not poisonous.
Hold one side of the leaf with each hand and fold it in half to form a funnel shape. Then thread a thin twig through the twig and fold them together to form a funnel cup.
The size of this funnel cup depends on the size of your blade. These blades can be as big as a washbasin and have a certain degree of toughness. When folded, they can be made into an extra-large cup.
For now, we can only make do with this. Shen Ci picked a handful of these leaves and brought them home. Then she filled cups with water, and the leaves fit together perfectly without leaking.
The only downside to the funnel-shaped cup is its placement; it's easy for it to tilt. Ci used four pieces of firewood to build a frame, put the leaves inside, and that's how it was stored.
Water x10
After making ten cups of water, the system gave me a double reward, making me 20 cups in total. Now I don't have to worry about anything these past few days, as I have food and drink. I can just develop slowly.
After traveling around for so long, Shen Ci had gained a basic understanding of this place. For her, staying in this plain where she was born was the best option.
The plains are teeming with prey: rabbits, pheasants, cattle, horses—it's like a giant zoo with everything imaginable. And most importantly, these animals are all ordinary animals, not beastmen.
If it were an orc, it would be difficult to capture it! Putting aside the question of whether it could be captured at all, even if it was, would it eat the beast half or the human half?
The beasts that can transform into orcs mostly live in their own tribes; these ordinary animals can be said to be those that have not yet developed intelligence.
Yes, you can eat it!
Shen Ci decided to go out and try her luck. She took a long stick with her. This stick was not a dry piece of wood, but one that she had broken off from the forest earlier. It was about the thickness of her wrist.
Even without tools like a machete, it's not difficult to break off a branch. Anyone who has ever broken a branch knows that branches grow in forks, and when you snap them off, the fibers inside the tree leave them still attached.
This requires a bit more effort; just hold the branch and twist it around. A live branch makes it easier to hit things.
Reaching an open area on the plain, Shen Ci only regretted that he didn't have a hunting rifle or a bow and arrows.
There was prey everywhere, and plenty of meat to eat!
Cattle and horses drink water by the river, and huge pheasants roam freely. The river sparkles, and schools of fish swim to and fro, all of them quite large.
In a place like this, how could you possibly starve to death?
Shen Ci was running around in circles, but unfortunately he had no usable tools on him, so he could only watch the food anxiously! This kind of anxiety was too torturous.
Since this is a primitive world, and these animals don't seem to be wary at all, daring to wander around here, they must rarely face any threat to their lives, right?
Shen Ci tentatively took a few steps forward. No one paid any attention to her. Overjoyed, she reached for the nearest pheasant, but the pheasant flapped its wings and ran away without hesitation...
She was being too naive. Pheasants were the best option, unlike cattle and horses, which could bite and kick if provoked. Since pheasants couldn't be caught, the only option was to catch fish in the river.
The fish in the river were swimming in groups. Shen Ci aimed and thrust the stick in, but alas! He missed!
Who exactly said that fish that no one has ever caught are stupid fish?
She casually plucked a handful of grass from the side of her.
"Wild peas: non-toxic, edible, and small in size."
Since we're already here, it's good to catch some food if we can't catch any prey. Shen Ci filled a bag with wild peas and also unlocked several other plants around that he didn't know what they were.
The area is rich in resources. Shen Ci familiarized himself with the surroundings and saw the skeleton of a large animal. The white bones lay there on the ground, and it looked a bit like an elephant.
There are elephants here! Two long, sharp tusks are just lying there. They would fetch a lot of money if brought back to modern times, but nobody cares about them here.
Shen Ci was dragged back. She had no choice; she couldn't resist taking things with her once she saw them. To her, every corner of this place was a treasure.
She picked up a few bones, long and sharp. She remembered reading in history books that in primitive societies, humans would grind bones into needles to sew clothes.
Such a long bone, even if we don't grind it into a needle, would be perfect for skewering fish; there's no need to tie it to a stick at all.
Shen Ci held a bone in his hand, sharpened the tip on a nearby stone, rolled up his trousers, and went into the river.
The initial outfit generated by the system for her was long-sleeved shirts and trousers, covering her completely. The clothes were all grayish and the material was indistinguishable, giving off a primitive and rugged style.
"call out!"
Facing the passing school of fish, he used a bone to pry open two large fish, each weighing about a pound or two, just like the ones you buy at the market.
They still have too few natural enemies.
Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed. We caught a few extra fish, skewered them on the bones, carried them on our shoulders, and headed home with our spoils!
Looking at the map, the little wolf cub Cangye was already heading out, leaving the Cangmang Mountain area where the wolf clan lived. It was already afternoon, and it would be dark in a few hours. The little wolf cub should be arriving by now.
