Chapter 217 The Volcano is About to Erupt
Jiang Si and Boliman Aishaer returned to their makeshift cave carrying a large amount of firewood.
Before Jiang Si even walked in, she saw countless snakes of different sizes crawling into their cave.
Those things of theirs must have been completely taken over by the snakes.
If Jiang Si burned the whole nest of snakes now, he wondered if he would be subjected to crazy revenge.
She hesitated for a moment and found that these snakes seemed to have a daily routine and would find a place to hide at a fixed time.
Then maybe when the sun comes out tomorrow, they will have a chance to take everything out.
Jiang Si has given up on continuing to live here.
First, you have to deal with so many snakes at any time, and second, this location is likely to be exposed to the eyes of other dangerous creatures.
Jiang Si had just seen a giant vulture fly down and grab dozens of snakes.
Jiang Si didn't want to become their target and food reserve.
Bailiman showed a guilty look and opened her mouth to say sorry. If she had not failed to guard the cave, nothing would have been lost.
Jiang Si comforted him, "It's okay, as long as there is food on the island, it won't matter."
Other daily necessities were no problem for her as she had lived a hard life in the apocalypse for ten years.
What they have to do now is to find a new place to live as soon as possible.
And thinking about how to leave here.
Neither of them had much fighting ability, so Jiang Si simply took them with him.
There are many snakes on the upper rocks, and there must be many snakes in the woods as well.
Digging a hole to shelter in is even less reliable.
Jiang Si thought about it and decided to take Boliman and Aisha with him to weave a hanging basket tent with leaves.
When they need to sleep, they hang on the trees and take a nap. If there is any danger, they will immediately move to another place.
There are a lot of vines in the woods, especially kudzu vines, and they will have to stay here for a long time.
With this plant, I don’t have to worry about having no clothes to wear in the future.
When kudzu vines are twisted together, they can be made into stronger ropes.
Jiang Si asked Bailiman and Aisha to follow her example, shave off all the leaves on the kudzu vines, twist them into enough ropes, and then start weaving.
She wove a U-shaped hammock, which was quite stiff and looked sturdy.
However, it seems that it is not very comfortable to sleep.
Jiang Si led them to dig up several palm trees and put the bark in the hammocks. They slept in the hammocks, so it was not so prickly.
Jiang Si skillfully made the remaining palm leaves and palm bark into a bird's nest-like roof, and tied two kudzu vines at both ends. If it rains, the roof can be built on top of the bird's nest to shelter from wind and rain.
We were busy for a long time, and everyone's hands were covered with red marks, but the three small hammock villas were finally completed.
The remaining palm core can be chewed and eaten like sugarcane, so Jiang Si cut off a piece and shared it with them.
It's sweet, has a fresh fragrance and is very juicy.
It's just a little bit not enough to satisfy hunger.
They have to eat and sleep quickly before dark, otherwise they will be in trouble at night.
There is often a lot of free food delivered to your door on the beach.
Jiang Si used clothes as a basket, and soon, he had picked up several large blue crabs on the beach. In the puddles on the reef, there were schools of fish as big as palms.
The clams everywhere are so sharp that they hurt my feet.
A little further ahead, we found another huge lobster on the sharp rocks.
Jiang Si fixed his eyes on the lobster and smiled slightly, "You'll be the main course tonight."
The lobster was clamped by Jiang Si with ease, and its previous arrogance disappeared.
Since they didn't have a pot, they had no choice but to grill the lobster.
They collected a lot of firewood and roasted lobsters and coconuts.
The ripe coconut is tender and has a strong coconut aroma, giving you the feeling of eating soft bread.
You can also drink some sweet coconut juice.
The crabs were cooked early, and Jiang Si had first-class crab-eating skills. After Jiang Si's teaching, Bailiman and Aisha no longer had as much trouble eating them as before.
Jiang Si suddenly saw some yellow things on the coastline dozens of meters away, like pineapple fruits.
She stood up suddenly and headed towards her target.
Soon, she confirmed that it was a wild pineapple.
And they are all ripe, each one looks plump and tempting.
Fruit is a rare delicacy in desperate situations.
Jiang Si picked several in a row and carried them to the tree where they decided to camp today.
Grilled pineapple is delicious too.
Jiang Si cut it open with a knife, strung the signatures together, and roasted them on the fire. He looked at the endless sea, then looked up at the sky, thinking about how to leave here.
If you want to leave here, you need a boat.
Jiang Si knows countless ways to build ships, and there is a lot of ready-made wood on the island.
The biggest concern is the dangers surrounding us in the water.
And the situation where after breaking out of this area, you are trapped on the ice and cannot go ashore.
If she encountered this situation, she would have to think about other preparations.
The lobster snapped and splattered, the juices overflowing, but it wasn't cooked yet.
Jiang Si and the others were already full after eating other things.
She didn't want to waste every minute here.
She had to find Qin Shen and the others quickly.
A bamboo raft is the easiest boat to build.
It is also the easiest material to cut down.
But it also has a big disadvantage, it will break if it is bumped or hit.
When you think about encountering big creatures like blue whales and killer whales, no matter how you explain it, a wooden boat is still a virtue.
Jiang Si felt relieved. At most, he could just use two more layers of bamboo.
The island is rich in vegetation, so there must be bamboo.
Relying on her experience and woman's intuition, Jiang Si chose a direction and took Boliman and Aisha to look for bamboo.
There were snakes everywhere, but they were not interested in the huge humans.
As long as they are not provoked, they will not target Jiang Si and the others.
Soon, Jiang Si saw a bamboo forest, but unfortunately, the bamboo forest was full of green poisonous snakes.
Jiang Si recognized it at a glance as the highly poisonous Bamboo Green Pit.
She dared to believe that if they just hit the bamboos, they would be bitten all over with holes.
Without Qin Shen's healing power, even if Jiang Si had ten lives, she would not dare to act rashly against this poisonous snake.
Jiang Si had to be forced to change the material used for shipbuilding.
Many dead woods can also be used to build ships.
Jiang Si and Bailiman Aishaer collected and dragged separately.
Suddenly, Aisha screamed and Jiang Si hurried over.
Then, Boliman grabbed Aisha who was hanging on a hole.
The cave was filled with thousands of poisonous snakes.
Jiang Si immediately pulled both of them up safely.
It was so dangerous that I almost fell into a den of poisonous snakes.
Jiang Si said to them, "Follow me closely and be careful."
She is more experienced and can avoid common dangers.
If she couldn't leave here, Berliman and Aisha would be her spiritual food, and at least she had someone to keep her company.
Jiang Si and her companions made four trips back and forth, carrying and collecting wood. Before dark, Jiang Si decided not to go out again. She counted, "One, two, three, four... eight pieces of wood, that's about enough." She then said to Boliman and Aishaer, "Watch how I hang the hammock. You learn from me. We'll rest tonight and continue tomorrow."
Berliman and Aisha nodded.
Jiang Si quickly helped them set up the hammock.
It looks like a pretty comfortable nest, able to shelter from wind and rain, but I’m just afraid that a poisonous snake will suddenly crawl in while I’m sleeping.
So they still need someone to keep watch at night.
Jiang Si asked them to sleep first, while he tried to find a way to split the wood and make a wooden boat.
It would be much easier if I had an axe, but the axe is in the previous cave.
Jiang Sitan took a breath, looked at the jumping flames, and tried his supernatural powers again.
The space still did not appear, and no changes were noticed.
Jiang Si sighed deeply, "Why is this happening?"
Why hasn't Qin Shen come to see her yet?
She fell into a brief confusion, and was soon frightened by the huge monster reflected in the firelight.
A huge snake head was spitting out its tongue dangerously.
His gaze was dim, as if he treated them as delicious snacks.
Jiang Si was startled and immediately woke up Boliman and Aishaer who were lying in the hammock. "Run, run! There's danger, there's a big snake!"
Boliman and Aisha instantly regained consciousness and jumped out of the hammock, running away after Jiang Si.
Fortunately, this giant python is not fast.
Jiang Si and the others ran a long way away, but the giant python had not caught up with them yet.
But don't even think about sleeping well tonight.
Jiang Si and Boliman Aishaer had to find a big tree temporarily, climb up and take turns taking a nap on the tree to rest.
But early the next morning, everyone was the same, with two huge panda eyes.
Although the island is rich in food, it is more dangerous than they imagined.
They had to get out of here quickly.
Jiang Si watched the sun rise completely and returned to the cave where they had lived before. Sure enough, the group of snakes that had been lurking in their cave had disappeared.
Jiang Si went into the cave and took out their suitcases.
The axes and knives in the suitcase provided great help to Jiang Si in building the boat.
Jiang Si took them to build a boat together. It took them a whole day to make a bottom plate.
During this period, he also chopped down several snakes that were trying to launch a sneak attack.
Fearing danger, they did not dare to risk going around looking for food. Instead, they collected edible food within a safe area around them and worked together. If they finished eating, they would go out together to look for more food.
“Boom—”
The volcano on the island actually made loud noises.
Jiang Si was terrified that the volcano would erupt.
If it breaks out, even if their ship is ready, they will not have time to escape.
Fortunately, the volcano was just a scare for them and did not actually erupt.
But this also made Jiang Si more determined to leave here as soon as possible.
Because she had a premonition that the volcano would erupt soon.
This volcano startled many vultures. Their young ones, which were still learning to fly, flew out prematurely and landed on the water.
Killer whales suddenly appeared and treated them like toys, picking them up and tearing them into pieces. The blood soaked the entire sea surface.
Jiang Si was shocked. If they went into the water, they would probably become toys of the killer whales again.
This time, if they were not so lucky, they would be the ones to be torn to pieces.
But there were only ten bullets left in her gun.
Killer whales are huge creatures. Even bullets cannot kill them, and they will be severely enraged.
Jiang Si suddenly felt that the road ahead to find Qin Shen and the others was long.
Aisha seemed unaware of how ferocious the vulture mutant was. She spotted a newly grown vulture on the beach and pointed at it excitedly.
This big guy with injured wings is not the one she has raised since he was a child, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
If they get close, it will be a fatal blow.
Jiang Si frowned, seeing that the killer whale had discovered the little vulture and was waiting for the waves to knock the vulture down so that it could have a new toy.
Jiang Si stared at the little vulture's wailing expression and suddenly thought of his previous life, when those people had also tamed adult mutant beasts as mounts.
Although taming an adult vulture is a bit dangerous, if successful, it can fly away from here immediately and quickly find Qin Shen and the others.
Jiang Si suddenly felt a lot of courage in his heart. He looked around, pulled out a lot of kudzu vines, made a simple big rope, and approached the little vulture step by step.
The young vulture was quite defensive, with a long, sharp beak and a fierce look on his face.
Jiang Sike didn't care whether it was ferocious or not. The most important thing now was to save its life.
Jiang Si raised the rope and made it into a circle, which he spun quickly, and then he put it around the little vulture's neck like lassoing a horse or an ox.
It struggled and flapped desperately, but the circle became tighter and tighter, and it became increasingly unable to move.
Soon, with the strong drag of Jiang Si and the other two, the little vulture was lifted to the beach where the waves could not reach it and it was safe.
Jiang Si slightly loosened the rope on its head so that it could breathe smoothly.
After the little vulture recovered, it immediately jumped up and tried to attack Jiang Si and the others with its sharp claws.
But soon, it found that it could not fly because its wings seemed to be broken and injured.
Vultures have very high IQs, so if Jiang Si shows goodwill, it will definitely understand.
Jiang Si first threw some small fish in front of it, and then tentatively touched its feathers.
The little vulture suddenly jumped up and cried loudly.
Jiang Si immediately withdrew his hand and retreated to a safe area.
Give it the fish, make stroking motions, and just slowly approach.
As long as it slowly gets used to it, it will no longer resist her touch.
The vulture disdains to eat the fish thrown in front of it, perhaps because the fish is too small and not enough to fill its teeth.
If you want to tame it, getting it to accept food is the first step.
Jiang Si decided to make a big net with kudzu vines and catch some big fish as food for the vultures.
Jiang Si was very familiar with weaving a fishing net and finished it in no time.
The mesh of this kind of net is large, so it can only catch large fish.
She now wanted to choose a good place to set her net. She walked around, tentatively put down the fishing net, and turned back to look for plants in the woods that could anesthetize the little vulture.
As long as the little vulture is anesthetized, its wounds can be treated first.
If you save it for a long time but it still can't fly, then all your efforts will be in vain.
Now that we can rescue in time, we must find a way to do it as soon as possible.
Soon, Jiang Si discovered a fruit with anesthetic effects. This fruit was buried in the ground. The vulture was very big and a large dose was required. She dug for a long time before she dug enough.
