After friendly (?) negotiation, the two agreed (?) that it would be more enjoyable to play the game separately. So Su Han put on his backpack, picked up the prey, and went out happily.
Zhong Rui stood in the cave with a sullen look on his face and black air emanating from his body.
After walking around the camp for a while, Su Han quickly sold all his prey and exchanged them for two 20-centimeter-long bamboo tubes (which could be used to hold water) and a large bamboo basket.
It is not convenient to put the captured prey in a backpack because it will make the backpack dirty and the prey will easily suffocate. But putting it in a bamboo basket is just right and very convenient to carry.
Su Han put the bamboo tube into the basket, then picked up the basket and headed towards the woods without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, just as they entered the woods, they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps not far away, and it sounded like there were a lot of people. Su Han's heart tightened, and he quickly hid in the bushes.
"It went this way!"
"Everyone, hurry up and follow!"
"It's okay. There are people blocking us from the front. We are flanking them from both sides."
Su Han felt the voice sounded familiar, and couldn't help but look up to observe. She was surprised to find that the three strong men were actually gathered with An Rongyue. From what they said, it seemed that they had joined forces to hunt together.
"Hmph." The sound of a wild boar cub was heard nearby.
Su Han looked in the direction of the voice and found that the people standing on the other side were also familiar faces. There was a young man who used clothes to fish, and a young man who had been poisoned by the dark cuisine.
There are exactly eight people on the left and right sides together.
Some of them were holding wooden spears, some were carrying axes, and some were using slingshots and stones to attack. The eight of them worked together to besiege the wild boar cub.
After a moment, the wild boar cub let out a final wail and then fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Success!" The eight people cheered and shouted in surprise one after another - although it was a cub, it was quite big and the pork was enough for them to eat for several days.
The group lifted up the wild boar and left laughing, their steps brisk.
Su Han's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt quite emotional. One person was powerless, two people were overwhelmed, but eight people working together could easily subdue large prey and obtain a large amount of meat. I just don't know if they will turn hostile after the hunt is successful...
Shaking his head, Su Han randomly chose a direction and continued moving forward.
“Click—”
Su Han paused, slowly raised his foot, and leaned down. He swept away the pile of fallen leaves under his feet. In the end, as expected, he found a rope hidden under the leaves. If an animal stepped on it, its feet would be tied up and it would be hung upside down on the tree.
"There are so many tricks." She felt heavy-hearted, and felt that the danger level of the forest had increased dramatically due to the players' efforts.
Walking forward for an unknown amount of time, a large field of sugar maple trees appeared in front of Su Han.
Su Han, "!!!"
She was surprised and delighted. She walked forward quickly, then took out her dagger without hesitation and dug a hole in the maple tree.
Soon, transparent sap began to flow from the tree. Su Han quickly took out a bamboo tube and carefully collected it. Although the flow rate was not large, it was stable. The liquid flowed into the bamboo tube drop by drop, gradually filling it up.
This is a kind of sap that flows from the maple tree stems, but not all maple trees can produce such sap. Only a kind of tree called "sugar maple" can produce it in abundance.
The sap of the tree tastes like sugar water, it is sweet and nutritious, comparable to honey water.
Su Han had read relevant information about sugar maple. It was said that a maple tree could extract an average of 40 liters of sap, 15% of which could be used to make concentrated syrup, and the rest would be used to make maple leaf water.
But even unprocessed maple sap is fine to drink directly.
As Su Han collected the juice, she looked around and made a quick estimate in her mind. After a while, she came to the conclusion that if there were not many players who knew that "maple leaf juice is drinkable", this maple forest would be enough to ensure that she and Zhong Rui would have enough drinking water for the next ten days.
Soon, a bamboo tube was filled.
Su Han tightened the lid and then changed to another bamboo tube to continue loading.
The flow rate of the maple leaf sap gradually slowed down, just like a wound slowly healing. Glancing at the bamboo tube, Su Han found that the second one was almost full, so he did not continue digging the hole, but waited patiently.
Just then, there was a noise in the distance.
Su Han didn't want to expose Tang Feng's secret, so he quickly screwed the bamboo tube on and put it into the basket, then sat down as if nothing had happened, pretending that he was tired from walking and just found a place to rest.
A loud shout suddenly rang out, "Stop it quickly!"
Huh? Su Han looked in the direction of the sound, and his hair stood on end - there was a one-meter-long flower snake not far away!
Stop it! Su Han did not hesitate and took several steps back.
The flower snake burrowed into the grass and soon disappeared.
At this time, two male players finally arrived and asked Su Han unkindly, "Where's the snake?"
"How would I know?" Su Han lied calmly, "I didn't see any snakes nearby at all."
Having said that, she picked up the basket, turned around and wanted to leave.
One of the male players had a cold face and blocked the way first, saying aggressively, "Tell me, did you let it run away on purpose?!"
Su Han thought to herself that the flower snake was extremely poisonous. Just now, she saw that the flower snake's physical strength was only 75% left. Why should she risk her life to help these two people stop the snake?
On her face, she still had a puzzled expression, and continued to act, "Did you personally hand the snake over to me for safekeeping?"
The speaker was at a loss for words.
Su Han continued, "Then you asked me what kind of snake I want?"
If it was a rabbit, it would be fine, just a matter of helping out. But it was a snake! If you help blindly, you might lose your life! And... she really doesn't like those greasy, slippery things.
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Su Han took a detour and wanted to leave again.
Unexpectedly, the other party's expression was uncertain and unpredictable. Finally, he became angry and insisted, "You must have killed the snake and hid it on purpose! Humph, that was our prey, quickly compensate us for our losses, or don't even think about leaving!"
Su Han, "..."
She was shocked by the other party's shamelessness. The flower snake had 75% of its physical strength and was not stopped, so it could not be considered the other party's property.
But now, the other party looked arrogant and seemed to be planning to blackmail.
Su Han warned earnestly, "Prey is valuable, but life is more valuable. Now you have just lost the prey. If you continue to pester it, you may lose your life."
She had a reason for saying this. There were only two people in front of her, and one had 53% and the other had 42%, both of them were only half dead. But she had 100% of her strength at the moment, a full 360.
other side,"……"
Instead of threatening, I was lectured. This is simply unbearable!
The two exchanged glances and decided to take action. After all, the opponent was just a little girl, and she was acting alone, so it would be easy to deal with her. Once they subdued her, they would definitely blackmail her to make up for their losses.
They were not well-informed and did not know the situation, and they did not realize that the girl standing in front of them was tougher than most male players.
However, as the two exchanged glances and communicated with each other, Su Han had already seen through them. She put down the bamboo basket, took out a dagger from her backpack, and then took the lead in approaching and attacking!
"Fuck!" The attack came too suddenly, and the attacker was caught off guard. When he came to his senses, he quickly picked up his long sword to block.
Unexpectedly, Su Han twisted the man's right wrist holding the knife backwards, and the next second, the dagger stabbed into the man's abdomen.
Then, the dagger was pulled out, stabbed again, pulled out, and the neck was cut. In an instant, a person disappeared into the air.
The other person felt a chill in his heart, swallowed hard, and almost couldn't stand. He never expected that a girl could be so cruel!
It was only then that Su Han complained out loud, "Let me be clear, you are asking for help from passers-by. Passers-by have the right to refuse unreasonable requests. Do you really think that everyone in the world is your mother, and that you can just say something and have others risk their lives to fulfill it?"
"The flower snake has 75% of its stamina left, yet you have the nerve to say that it's your prey. Why don't you just say that all the animals in the forest belong to you? There should be a limit to shamelessness."
"I've told you long ago that prey is valuable, but life is more valuable. Why won't you listen to my advice?"
"You..." The other person wanted to say something, but his teeth were chattering and he couldn't form a sentence.
Su Han was too lazy to listen to his argument, and he chopped the man to death cleanly and neatly. At the end, he sighed, "Wouldn't it be fine if you just got out of the way earlier?"
The eliminated player's face became distorted, as if he died with his eyes open.
Su Han picked up the bamboo basket and started hunting.
**
In the evening, Su Han returned to the cave carrying a basket full of things.
In the middle, there is a bonfire burning.
There was a wooden frame next to it, shaped a bit like the Chinese character "冂", but with a regular bottom and very stable. A piece of simply processed rabbit skin was tied to the horizontal bar with a straw rope, and it was fluttering in the wind, obviously being dried.
In the corner, the pile of firewood increased significantly.
On the side, two wicker baskets stood side by side. Su Han took a closer look and found that one of them contained two cartons of milk, five packets of honey, two cans of Coke, a 1L bottle of drinking water, and four kilograms of rice - all her possessions.
"The rice is considered mine?" Su Han raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
"I don't know how to cook bamboo tube rice." Zhong Rui replied stiffly.
"What is rabbit skin?"
"Lin Xinghai forced it on me, and I can't throw it away."
"Firewood?"
"We are a bunch of poor people. We have nothing to offer in exchange. The firewood is barely useful."
"Wooden frame?"
"I made it myself to dry the rabbit skin."
"A wicker basket?"
"To keep things separate."
The two of them chatted happily. For some reason, Su Han wanted to laugh.
Zhong Rui stressed with a straight face, "I've already had dinner, you figure it out yourself."
"Yes." Su Han responded. Then, she took out the pheasant from the bamboo basket and started to cook beggar's chicken.
Zhong Rui, "..."
It looks delicious at first glance.
He thought angrily, this guy must have done it on purpose. He just threw a piece of black bread at noon, and then he started eating delicious food when he ate alone at night!
After removing the internal organs and coating the chicken with yellow mud, Su Han began to sort out the afternoon's harvest - some charcoal from burning trees, two rabbit skins from the game, a wooden shovel, and two sweet potatoes.
Su Han simply processed the rabbit skin and then hung it on a wooden rack to dry.
Next, she piled the charcoal next to the wicker basket.
The sweet potatoes will be tomorrow's breakfast, and the wooden shovel will be used to dig holes for traps.
After the items were sorted and organized, the beggar's chicken was almost ready.
Su Han took out the chicken, deftly cracked off the outer layer of mud, and asked his friend, "Do you want to eat it?"
The thing they had the most was food, so Su Han didn't mind the two of them having a meal together.
Zhong Rui turned his head away and said indifferently, "I'm full."
"Okay." Su Han didn't force it and ate happily. She took a bite of chicken and drank a sip of sugar water, feeling extremely happy.
The fragrant smell of roasted chicken filled the cave, mixed with a faint sweet aroma that made people feel itchy.
Zhong Rui was upset. Couldn't this guy ask twice more? He would definitely agree "reluctantly". It was obvious that he was not sincere!
The author has something to say: The information about maple water comes from Baidu**
Su Han (satisfied): So good
Zhong Rui (firmly): I didn’t, I wasn’t, don’t talk nonsense. Lin Xinghai: Come on, blame it as much as you want, I’m ready to take it.
**
Anyone who has played Don't Starve knows that night is the time to sort out things. Hahaha, some people commented that Bajie wanted to disband and divide the luggage. What the hell?
