Time flies. By the time Jiang An came down from the mountain, six hours had passed since she arrived on the island.
Of course, the gains were also considerable.
Besides the mud pig she encountered on the mountain, she also successfully captured a large spider.
Unlike mud pigs, this spider is a venomous spider with mottled, colorful body and a huge size, about the height of an adult, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Fortunately, Jiang An spotted it in time and successfully shot it dead with a bow and arrow.
Unfortunately, her attack caused the spider's venom sac to rupture, resulting in the loss of most of the venom.
Nevertheless, Jiang An successfully decomposed the venomous spider and obtained the following items: [Spider silk*5, Spider venom 10 ml (one ml can kill an elephant)].
Jiang An didn't know the purpose of the spider silk, but she had already figured out how to deal with the spider venom.
She immediately stopped, took out several arrows and the remaining three crossbow bolts, and carefully coated the arrowheads with a thin layer of spider venom, intending to use them as her trump card.
These poisons were very precious, so Jiang An only used half of them, keeping the other half as a backup.
Near the poisonous spider, Jiang An also found two poisonous plants – Gelsemium elegans and two seeds.
Gelsemium elegans is extremely toxic; ingestion can cause respiratory paralysis and even death.
It was put into a wooden box and stored separately.
In addition, Jiang An also discovered a ginseng plant, which is a valuable find!
She spent a lot of time digging up this ginseng, but in the end, she still damaged a lot of the ginseng roots.
Meanwhile, the basic gathering skills came in handy, and a total of 6 ginseng seeds were harvested.
After descending the mountain, Jiang An looked at the miasma before him.
They decided to open the treasure chests they had collected from the mountain.
3 stones and 3 iron.
The items inside the stone box have now mostly become ordinary.
It's far less valuable than what you get from opening the iron box.
After careful consideration, Jiang An finally made a decision: to open the iron box first, and to leave the stone box until they left the island and returned to the raft.
The reason is simple: her backpack has limited space and cannot hold too many items.
If the stone chest is not opened, it only takes up one space; but if it is opened, she will be worried about how to store the items that are opened.
If the island were calm and safe, she wouldn't easily open any treasure chests.
But this island is too dangerous. Carnivores, miasma, poisonous spiders—it's fraught with danger. Fortunately, Jiang An's strength is quite good.
[Pet Scroll (summons a random battle pet upon use), Electronic Components *3]
When Jiang An's gaze fell upon the scroll before him, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Hiss! It can actually summon pets, and even battle pets!"
Joy was overflowing from Jiang An's face; she was going to have her own pet!
This is of great significance to her, after all, she has been struggling in this brutal game of survival at sea for so long.
Every day they struggle to survive, their lives filled with endless hardship and loneliness.
Alone in this vast ocean, her feeling stood in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of modern society, making her loneliness all the more palpable.
Thankfully, there are regional channels for everyone to communicate; otherwise, many people would have been driven crazy.
So having a pet to accompany her now is naturally different, and it will bring her a lot of joy in her life.
However, Jiang An's brows gradually furrowed, and a sense of worry arose in his heart.
Because she didn't know what this pet was, what it looked like, or how capable it was in combat.
If the summoned creature is a powerful battle pet, that would be ideal, but what if...? Thinking of this, Jiang An's heart sank, as if weighed down by a heavy stone, and he was instantly caught in a dilemma.
She couldn't help but wonder if she could protect the pet in this precarious place if they were really in danger.
At the same time, she was also worried that the pet might become a burden and cause her more trouble.
A host of doubts welled up in Jiang An's mind, leaving her hesitant and unsure of what to do.
"Forget it, I'll wait until I get back to the raft!" she thought to herself. In the end, she did not immediately open the pet scroll, but decided to return to the safety of the raft and make a decision in her own territory.
So she carefully placed the precious scroll in a separate compartment, as if it were a rare treasure.
As for the electronic components, they took up very little space and she easily put them into her backpack.
After this experience of opening the chest, Jiang An completely gave up the idea of opening any more chests and decided to wait until he returned to the raft before opening any more.
After all, with her current strength and ample weaponry, she is more than capable of dealing with any potential dangers; at most, she might suffer some injuries.
Jiang An looked at the miasma forest in front of him, took off the mask he was wearing, and then took out a brand new mask from his backpack and put it on.
She gripped her weapon tightly and walked straight into the miasma without hesitation.
Having already experienced crossing miasma once before, Jiang An was no longer as nervous about this adventure as he had been the first time.
Instead, she decided to explore deeper into the miasma to see if there were any more unknown treasures waiting to be discovered.
On the outskirts of the miasma, she has successfully explored some precious herbal resources, including both poisonous and medicinal herbs.
The expedition did not present her with many difficulties; aside from being attacked by a flock of crows, she encountered almost no other significant threats.
After dealing with a flock of crows, she obtained an iron chest, which she put into her backpack. Up to now, the unopened treasure chests have accumulated to 3 stones and 3 iron.
There are also several special herbs.
Jiang An emerged from the miasma with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
The sun in the east, like an old man, slowly moved westward.
Jiang An finally arrived at the entrance to the jungle.
Standing there, she felt somewhat lost and confused. The sight before her made her begin to doubt her own judgment—this was actually a tropical rainforest!
Rainforests are rich in fruit resources, but they also come with higher risks.
Many dangerous creatures live here, such as ferocious crocodiles and giant pythons.
Jiang An unfolded the map in his hand again and examined it carefully. It marked five areas: grassland, mountains, mining area, forest and beach.
The grasslands are teeming with animals, but there's not much else of value, so she ruled that out; she had already explored the mountains and mining areas.
So, all that's left is this rainforest.
Despite his concerns, Jiang An did not back down.
However, considering that it was late and the sun was about to set, this was not the best time to enter the rainforest.
After careful consideration, she decided to wait until the next morning to venture into the rainforest.
