Chapter 5 Killing Fire-Tailed Squirrels
"That's great. My wife is pregnant. If she comes here and I'm not around to take care of her, I'll be so worried."
"This game is quite fair. Since not all humans are included, does it mean that we have a chance to return to the Blue Planet?"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "It's hard to say. What if they let us young and strong people explore the way and build infrastructure, and then throw in the old, weak, women and children after it's almost done?"
[Yi Ling]: "I think... it shouldn't be."
Many people feel relieved when they are sure that their wives, children and parents do not have to come and suffer. Otherwise, they would be so worried that they would not be able to live.
"Instead of breathing a sigh of relief for your elderly parents, you should think about how you are going to cut down trees next!"
"Looking for a treasure chest! I found a treasure chest today and got a sharp stone axe from it. I can use it for a while."
Shu Lingyi also received a private message from Luo Zhiqing: "Yi Yi, has the durability of your stone axe run out?"
[Yi Ling]: "I've finished using it. How about you?"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I haven't yet. I just came back from the lake and plan to chop down some trees later."
[Yi Ling]: "I'm also going to go out and get some other food, and see if I can pick some fruit or something."
As soon as she finished speaking, a message popped up on the screen.
[Received a gift from Qing Ben Zhiruo, please check. 】
As soon as Shu Ling confirmed receipt, he saw something like a black package suddenly appear in front of him and the package opened automatically.
Raspberry*15.
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Hehe, I didn't cut down the tree, but I saw these fruits on the way to the lake, so I picked them!"
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "One can only increase your satiety by 1 point, but it's better than nothing. It tastes sour and sweet. I've washed it, so you can eat it directly!"
Shu Ling felt warm at the sight of the plump and round raspberries: "Good sister, I'll get you two stone jars to hold water tonight!"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Waiting for your good news~"
The two finished their chat, and Shu Lingyi ate two raspberries. They were full of juice and burst in the mouth when bitten. The taste was sour and sweet and really delicious.
Then Shu Ling put the rest of the raspberries into the indoor warehouse, and also put all the dead grass, wood, and resin into the warehouse, and only took the stone pickaxe and bronze axe with him when he went out.
The midday sun was a bit scorching, but Shu Lingyi did not dare to delay and walked towards the west. Looking to the west, there was a stretch of mountains.
Walking along the mountain path, she saw a small clump of bamboo not far away!
Bamboo is a plant that grows in patches. Although it looks like a small clump here, there are actually sixty or seventy bamboos, some thick and some thin.
Shu Ling picked up two thicker bamboos, then picked up the copper axe and started chopping them. The bamboo's health bar had only 30 points, so one hit with the broken copper axe in his hand was enough.
Bamboo*2.
Shu Ling looked at the bamboos she had obtained and took out a piece from her portable storage to have a look. They were indeed thick, and two of them were as thick as her calves.
"Hehe, it would be nice to chop it into several pieces and use them as homemade kettles!" Shu Ling thought happily, and then continued to move forward.
[There is a wounded fire-tailed squirrel ahead. This may be one of the few good opportunities for you to kill a first-level monster. It depends on whether you can grasp it.]
"Wow!" Shu Ling raised his eyebrows, his beautiful peach blossom eyes shone with brilliance, and he was eager to try.
She walked forward cautiously, holding the copper axe tightly in her hand, keeping her eyes and ears open to observe the movements around her.
After a few minutes, she saw a small squirrel that was only as high as her knees appear in her field of vision, about six meters away from her.
[Fire-tailed squirrel: A first-level monster that loves to eat pine cones. Its tail is attached with the power of fire, so it can only live in fire-resistant pine wood.]
[Health: 70, Defense: 15, Attack: 30, Speed: 3. ]
The survival guide contains information about the fire-tailed squirrel, including its stats: "This guy is a bit slow..."
[Can you believe this guy broke his leg and almost lost his life trying to pick his favorite pine cones?]
Looking at the fire-tailed squirrel struggling forward with two fruits in its arms, Shu Lingyi realized that it wanted to return to its tree hole, so she chose to follow it from a distance, and she could also dig a squirrel hole in the process.
So I followed it all the way, and the fire-tailed squirrel finally stopped under a thick pine tree. This pine tree was not ordinary, and its color was different from the pine trees next to it.
Shu Ling looked at it and prepared to climb the tree: "Its tree hole looks like this is the one it found. We can start now..."
She stared at the movements of the fire-tailed squirrel and rushed out as fast as she could. When the fire-tailed squirrel realized something was wrong, the fire pine cones in its hand fell.
Shu Lingyi showed no mercy and swung the copper axe and chopped it down fiercely. The blow was not enough to be fatal. Although the fire-tailed squirrel had lost its ability to move, it quickly swung its tail and hit Shu Lingyi's hand.
Its tail was flaming and burning towards him, scaring Shu Lingyi so much that he suddenly retracted his hand. The terrifying feeling of the high temperature brushing against his arm just now frightened Shu Ling so much that he almost dropped the bronze axe.
"Shit... I was so scared. I was so scared." Shu Ling breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his hand. There was just a little tear on the sleeve of his shirt.
Since it was okay, Shu Lingyi immediately picked up the copper axe and went to finish it off. It took three consecutive strikes of the axe to kill the fire-tailed squirrel completely.
Squirrel meat*5, fire pine tail*1, fire crystal core*1, lantern blueprint*1, fire pine cone*2.
Shu Lingyi took these things, then looked at the tree hole on the fire pine tree. She gritted her teeth and climbed up, intending to empty the fire-tailed squirrel's pockets.
Pine cones*15, fire pine cones*3.
Shu Ling dug with one hand for a long time, and only gave up when he was sure that there was no more wood left. He slowly climbed down the tree and chopped down the pine wood as soon as he got down.
Fire pine wood*2.
"Today's harvest is still very rich, hehe~" Shu Ling smiled as he looked at the dazzling array of new supplies in his personal space.
[If you don't leave now, you will be besieged by other fire-tailed squirrels. ]
Shu Ling did not dare to delay after seeing Xiao Ai's suggestion, but when he thought about the fact that he still needed to make a few stone jars to store water, he looked around.
She had seen in her dreams how to make a stone jar. The first thing she needed was a large stone. She glanced around and only saw two that met the requirements.
"I'll take them one at a time." Shu Ling put the two big stones into her personal space, looked at the fire-tailed squirrels coming out of the tree holes, and immediately ran home.
Shu Ling ran towards home without daring to look back. She could vaguely hear the angry voices of the fire-tailed squirrels behind her, as well as the high temperature that almost hit her back.
