The arrival of sleet caused a sharp drop in temperature within the micro-world. If you want to go out, you have to do it around noon, otherwise the cold wind will make you question your existence.
Bored indoors, everyone started finding things to do.
After processing the ox tendons and some of the cowhide, Jiang Bo made four bows. This time, the bows truly looked like bows, with the bow body and string made of the finest materials, and even some patterns were carved into them.
Unfortunately, there were no arrowheads, so I had to find a few hard, unbreakable stones and slowly grind them into arrowheads, which were still better than wooden ones. The spearheads also needed to be ground into stone spearheads.
Guo Zifeng then began firing the roof tiles, which was a huge project, so in addition to Bai Jing, Hou Yu and Li Ye also went to help.
Two of the captive goats on the island in the middle of the lake were killed, one for their fur and the other for food.
Now, land animal meat has once again become a scarce resource, and people are trying to conserve it as much as possible.
At noon, Chen Yang, Ye Wu, Wang Bing, Li Su'er, Hou Yu, and Jiang Bo would split into two teams: two archers and Chen Yang would go hunting, while the other three teams would gather food and check for traps.
The traps yielded fewer and fewer results, and the wild fruits that could be gathered also decreased significantly. Fortunately, Jiang Bo could still recognize many edible plants, so he was able to collect some fruit every day.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang and the two archers were exploring further afield. Because they had horses, they were able to explore different areas every day.
Li Su'er and Ye Wu were surprised to find that they had hunted less food than Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's reaction speed was astonishing, and his endurance and speed had also improved significantly. Once, he chased a rabbit for a long time and managed to catch it with his bare hands.
"Damn, when did you become so awesome?" Ye Wu was stunned when Chen Yang returned carrying the rabbit.
"Are all aliens this powerful?" Li Su'er was speechless.
Chen Yang said in a pretentious manner, "While you were resting, playing, and sleeping, you had no idea how much effort I put in."
"Get the hell out of here."
"Alien Yang, you've changed. You're no longer the honest Alien Yang you used to be."
Chen Yang laughed heartily. He knew that this was the effect of his wolf bloodline. His physical strength and intelligence had only increased by one or two points recently, but his combat power had soared to 78, which was much stronger than when he first arrived.
If the maximum score for combat power is 100, then Chen Yang is now close to being excellent.
Most importantly, he experienced this feeling in real life, and that's what's truly real.
Unfortunately, his wolf-like bloodline didn't seem to work well with archery. He had been learning archery, but his progress was slow, unlike Ye Wu and Li Su'er who were able to master it quickly.
However, he learned to use a slingshot from Jiang Bo and now his bird-hunting skills are superb; he can even use it to hunt pheasants and rabbits.
“Look, there’s a beehive.” Li Su’er discovered a large beehive hanging on a book.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It seems that besides jam, we also have honey to eat."
He skillfully smoked away the bees, then took a jar of honey, and escaped on horseback with two accomplices.
The Xindu Camp is currently in a very good state, and it continues to develop and build.
The only pity is that the planting industry has not developed much. For some reason, the potatoes we planted before sprouted and then died, and the mint was also killed by a rain and snow.
Jiang Yining and Li Sen became fascinated with weaving, modifying their spinning machines repeatedly, and had already woven many straw mats. Even the livestock sheds were now luxuriously equipped with straw mats.
"If only we had silkworms, I would have learned how to raise silkworms from an old woman in order to find the best clothing material. We could have gone from animal skin skirts to silk garments," Li Sen said regretfully.
"Let's think about how to get through the winter first," Hou Yu said.
Li Ye sat silently next to Hou Yu, watching everyone.
She's been able to say a few words to everyone occasionally lately, though she spends most of her time working quietly. Their main job now is taking care of the horses, and they regularly go to the island in the lake to get to know the horses and check on their condition.
"Those two big black bears are still the best. We've dug out their hibernation burrows and even laid out straw mats and hay for them at the entrance. This treatment is five-star even in the Micro Realm," Guo Zifeng laughed loudly.
These two rogue bears are really speechless. They actually hibernated like that, and even woke up once to beg for food. Chen Yang had no choice but to give them some fruit and some dried meat.
The little black bear seems to be preparing to hibernate as well, and has been frantically searching for food lately. It seems that the lucky one has become familiar with the little black bear, and once Chen Yang even saw the two of them working together to catch pheasants.
This is a good sign. Chen Yang did not stop it. The European wolf is now quite large and its fighting power is exceptionally strong, not much weaker than an adult wolf. It often goes out to hunt for food on its own and brings back some small animals for them.
In terms of hunting efficiency, no one in the entire camp could compare to the luckiest hunter.
Chen Yang decided to take Ou Huang, Li Su'er, and Jiang Bo to western Mo Yuan to see if they could find the river.
The waterfall in Night Park has been named White Flower Waterfall, but the river has not yet been named because its extent has not been determined.
If you ride a horse, it will be much faster, but it will still take one or two days.
If they were very close, they would have spotted them long ago.
They discovered that the river was deep in the forest, more than 60 kilometers away from Moyuan, a distance that would have caused the river to change course several times.
After taking enough provisions, they set off on horseback.
After the horses had been running for most of the day, the temperature began to drop, and the three people on horseback were so cold from the wind that they almost lost all feeling in their bodies, so they had to stop and camp.
They had no prey on the road, so after they had cooked, they boiled water and ate it with dried meat and dried fruit.
The horses were tethered to a tree, where wild animals roamed or kept warm.
These horses have become accustomed to the flames, so they are not afraid.
"Let's quit for now and move on tomorrow."
Chen Yang said.
If we continue to stay in the micro-world, we will have to build a shelter to keep warm, which will consume a lot of energy and is not worth it.
The next day, Chen Yang and the others took two hours to enter the micro-world, by which time the weather had warmed up.
"I really admire those adventurers who have to endure the cold and hunger, make fires, and find food," Chen Yang said with emotion.
"Why don't we bring Bear Grylls, Ed Stafford, and the Australian guy into the micro-world? That would make things much easier for us," Li Su'er said with a smile.
The people she mentioned are all well-known wilderness survival experts, each with their own strengths. If they were all brought into the micro-world, things would be much easier. Chen Yang and his friends often studied their videos.
"If there's an opportunity, we might try inviting them; I think they would be very interested."
Chen Yang smiled.
Li Su'er's eyes widened. She was just joking, but she didn't expect Chen Yang to actually agree.
Jiang Bo doesn't usually go online or watch TV, so he didn't know who they were talking about. In his eyes, the old people in the village were the most amazing, having survived the Great Famine.
