Chapter 227 Primitive Beast World Cubs 2
It was daytime, but a night had passed. Shen Ci looked at the vast continent before him, which seemed to stretch to the horizon. The road lay beneath his feet, but where could he find a home?
"System, this is completely a primitive world, isn't it?"
Have you ever seen such a thick tree? It must be at least several hundred years old.
In this situation, unlike the orcs who possess immense strength, how can I, with my mortal body, possibly defeat them? I request a small map within the system, preferably marked with the territories of each race, to prevent accidental entry.
The system paused for a moment, then realized that this made sense.
"Minimap generating..."
The minimap has been generated...
Clicking on the system again, a mini-map icon appeared in the upper left corner. Shen Ci clicked on it and saw that the continent was very large, with many groups divided by color on it.
The Cangmang Mountain area is the territory of the wolf clan, which is the location of the first cub. On the other side is a swamp, which is the territory of the snake clan, and there are all kinds of animals there.
Shen Ci's current location is in the central plains, which doesn't seem too dangerous. There are forests and rivers nearby, and resources are plentiful. There are also some unclear markings on the map.
"System, why are these markers question marks?"
"The host needs to unlock it manually. The map is thoughtfully marked with icons for plants, animals, and dangers."
However, the host must obtain all of this information themselves before the species information can be unlocked.
Just like a game, you have to explore it yourself.
Shen Ci looked at the map and decided to find a place to live first. She had nothing on her right now, not even a tool, so building a house was not an option for the time being.
Then the only option was to find a safe cave. Shen Ci analyzed the map and finally found a suitable location, a suitable cave. Most importantly, there were no animal icons in the cave, which proved that no animals lived there.
Moreover, this cave is not far from a water source. Although it is some distance from the river, there is a small pond nearby. Living here will allow you to obtain resources more quickly.
Following the map, we arrived at the cave. Along the way, we picked up a few sticks. The vegetation here was very lush, and there was almost no path on the ground. The closer we got to the cave, the more vegetation there was. We had to use sticks to knock down the grass to avoid stepping on any animals, especially snakes.
According to the map and based on her years of experience playing survival games, the plains as the spawn point should be the safest.
It's not the territory of any particular orc race, so the safety is much higher.
Upon arriving at the cave, we first observed the surrounding area. The weeds outside the cave were as tall as a person, and there were no footprints or traces of passage on the ground, indicating that no animals lived here.
After asking around more carefully, there was no animal smell at the entrance or inside the cave. Just to be on the safe side, Shen Ci didn't use a stick to knock down the weeds outside the cave, which served as a good cover.
"System, you're so stingy! Not only did you not provide any tools, but you didn't even provide fire. Are you expecting me to start a fire by rubbing sticks together?"
"At least give me some kind of fire, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ci had a lighter in her hand. The system was worried that she wouldn't know how to use a tinderbox or anything like that, and since there was no currency to use here, she couldn't buy one.
The cave wasn't too dark; you could see through it. There were a few places where light shone through, but overall, it was quite different from the bright daylight outside.
There were no signs of animals sleeping on the ground, and the cave was empty; the house was bare, with only a lighter at the start.
This is it!
Shen Ci entered survival mode, marked the location of a home on the map, and then went outside to trim the grass in front of the door.
These grasses, which are taller than a person, are somewhat similar to cattails. Their roots and stems are soft and slender, and they break easily when bent. You don't need to pull them out completely.
"Unlock Plant: Thatch"
As soon as I broke off a stalk of this grass, two small characters appeared above it: "Thatch Grass." It seems that this is the only way to unlock the relevant information.
The roots on the ground, if you just step on them in one direction, can be laid out on the road. On rainy days, they can also help to block the mud from the ground, since there are no cement roads here.
She didn't clear it all away, leaving a part to cover the cave. She only cleaned part of the area in front of the door. After she finished cleaning, she was covered in sweat. She looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was high in the sky and the sun was shining brightly!
Taking advantage of the sunshine, we spread the freshly picked grass on the rocks to dry. Once the grass is dry, we can carry it into the cave to use as a bed or as fuel for a fire.
After cleaning the outside of the cave, it was barely possible to walk, so we went back inside. The cave was fine; it was dry and not damp. There were several small holes above that let in light, which was just right for lighting.
He went outside, picked a handful of grass, and used it like a broom to sweep around the cave. He cleaned up the spider webs on the stone walls, picked up the pebbles on the ground, and after he had finished cleaning, Shen Ci was hungry.
She walked towards the edge of the forest. Most of the trees here were very thick, and the plants were tall and lush. In this primitive world where resources were plentiful, it shouldn't be too difficult to fill one's stomach.
The forest was full of unidentified trees, many of which bore bright red fruit, and there were also many mushrooms on the ground, making it a very abundant place to live.
Although she didn't know if it was edible, she had a system.
Shen Ci picked a fruit that looked like an apple, growing in a low place, not as red or as big as the ones above.
Wild apples: edible and non-toxic.
An apple?! But this apple is different from the ones we see in real life. This apple is much bigger. It should be considered the ancestor of all apples, right?
After wiping herself down, Chen Ci took a bite, and juice splattered everywhere! It was indeed very hydrating, but the taste wasn't as sweet as an apple; instead, it was quite sour.
Holding an apple and eating as he walked, Shen Ci hadn't gone far when he started picking up firewood at the edge of the forest. There were so many dead branches here; he could pick up a whole pile just from the ground, not to mention the dry wood on the branches, which could be broken with a gentle touch.
They're all completely dry; you can take them home and use them as firewood, so there's no need to cut down any trees.
This was practically a real-life survival game. After eating an apple and filling his stomach, Shen Ci started gathering firewood, tying it up with vines he found in the forest, and carrying it back and forth to the cave.
Fortunately, it's not far from the cave, but it's a bit of a struggle.
After seven or eight trips of carrying firewood, a pile of firewood has been accumulated in the cave, and the fire problem has been solved in a short time. Survival players are like mice entering a rice jar when they arrive in a place like this.
She then rushed to the forest to pick apples. These apples could be eaten regularly, and any leftovers could be dried into apple chips or even made into apple jam. As long as it was food, nothing would go to waste; it had many uses.
In the hands of the Chinese people, no resource is wasted.
