Chapter 234 Primitive Beast World Cub 9
Making fire by rubbing sticks together was too troublesome. Suddenly, Shen Ci thought of an even simpler way and ran to find two pieces of wood.
"This is the simplest way of life, requiring only two pieces of wood, which must be hard, dense, and most importantly, dry."
Then take the top piece and chisel it hard. This method makes it easier to start a fire. Once it starts smoking and the sawdust turns black, gently blow on it to help it burn.
"A single spark can ignite a vast conflagration."
After Shen Ci finished speaking, it was time to start a fire and cook, and the child was hungry.
"Come on, try it and see if you've learned it."
Being taught this technique for the first time, Cang Ye felt both nervous and excited. Unlike the wolf clan's silk-striped hunting techniques, he had never seen such a technique before.
But fire is an extremely powerful skill for him; no wolf in the entire wolf pack knows it, and no wolf has ever said they want to eat cooked food.
Everyone else just eats their prey raw after catching it, as if that's the normal thing to do. It wasn't until he got here that he finally got to eat something he could eat and that he found delicious, and that his body finally had energy.
The fact that his mother was willing to teach him such an important life skill meant that he was her true child!
Fire was something that had never existed or appeared on the Spirit Beast Continent before. At least Cang Ye had never seen it before. He was convinced that his mother possessed such a great skill and was willing to teach it to him.
This kind of relationship only exists between biological offspring and their parents.
He did it with extra care, choosing the simplest method: he picked up a stick and chiseled hard into a piece of wood, creating a groove.
Orcs are physically stronger than ordinary humans, which is related to their species, but most of them are strong and agile, and Cangye is no exception.
It was incredibly fast; its hand was almost blurry. Shen Ci watched its movements in shock. Although the movement was simple, it required a lot of endurance.
But this is not a challenge for thin people, because they are naturally strong and fast.
A groove was rubbed into the wood, producing many tiny wood shavings. The wood shavings slowly turned from yellow to black, with faint red flames flickering inside.
Cangye remembered what her mother had said. She gently brought her lips close to the fire and breathed softly. With each breath, the firelight flickered.
"Now you can cover it with something flammable," Shen Ci reminded him.
Starting a fire every day is not easy, so some dried pine needles were left over to be used as kindling at home, but they were kept at a certain distance from the fire to avoid setting the entire cave on fire.
Cangye carefully took a handful of dry pine needles and covered it with them, then gently blew on it. The red flames became more and more obvious, and then the covered area slowly emitted a wisp of blue smoke. The fire was slowly lit.
If even a tiny flame appears, it's easy to handle. Just put it in the ash heap and slowly add firewood on top.
Once you become familiar with life and doing things, they don't seem difficult.
"I can start a fire! I've mastered a divine skill!"
Cangye didn't dare to breathe deeply the whole time, and only when he saw the flames leap up completely did he dare to cheer. In his eyes, this skill was a god's skill!
Besides God, who else could bring something called fire into this world? It can emit light and heat, and it can also make food delicious. Its mother must be a god!
"Ding-dong!"
Successfully helped the cubs learn an important life skill: starting a fire!
Reward issued: A lighter that never runs out of oil.
Salvage value +10%.
Current total rescue value: 20%.
A lighter appeared in Shen Ci's pocket, and the stingy system even took back the one they had insisted on getting earlier.
Now that we're using them all, there are fewer and fewer left, so we must keep them safe and make sure they don't get lost.
After starting the fire, Cangye imitated Chen Ci's usual manner, slowly adding firewood of varying thicknesses to the fire. At first, when the fire was small, he added some thinner, drier wood.
Later, when the fire got bigger, we would add some slightly thicker and more flexible firewood. My mother said that this would make it more durable.
He listened very carefully to everything his mother said and took notes very seriously.
Because no one in the tribe had ever spoken to him so kindly before, the older members of the tribe didn't care much about the thoughts of a cub. As long as he had food to eat and was alive every time he came back from hunting, that was enough.
As they grow older, wolves become very independent, and each cub needs to learn to hunt. However, he is too weak to hunt large prey on his own like other wolves his age.
Every time he brought back pheasants or rabbits, he was only mocked and ridiculed by wolves of the same age.
Other wolves are now able to hunt large, ferocious animals alongside their elders, but he, who possesses intelligence, can't even catch ordinary animals.
For the wolf pack, this is a disgrace.
But only his mother would happily praise him for his skill when he caught pheasants or rabbits, and she was genuinely happy for him!
That day, he was able to catch a fawn with all his might, thanks to his mother's praise, which enabled him to perform exceptionally well.
Beside his mother, he was a source of pride, not a weak or incompetent figure.
"Ding-dong! Mission triggered!"
Teaching cubs to make edible food is key to their survival.
Mission Reward: Rescue Points +10%.
A basket that can't be filled.
The system's tasks all revolve around the cub's needs. She just taught the cub how to grill fish yesterday, and Cang Ye has already learned it so-so.
Now that he has learned to start a fire, let's teach him to make a different kind of food. That way, he won't suffer from hunger and cold, eating food he can't eat, during countless dark nights when he runs away from home.
"Good baby, you did a great job!"
"Your mother has never seen such a clever cub as you, learning so quickly. You are the best little wolf!"
Shen Ci patted his head and praised him, then stuffed a piece of smoked meat into his mouth. This piece of meat was roasted and then hung up to smoke.
Raising children is like training pets; if you do something right, you have to reward them with something nice so they'll be happy and keep trying.
She! She praised me again!!
Cangye felt very comfortable being patted on the head. With a twist of his body, he fell onto Chen Ci's lap. His big tail popped out again, swaying happily from side to side, and his paws turned into fluffy fur.
This child reveals his true form when he's happy. Shen Ci patted him hard, just like petting a cat.
Cangye, who was previously unable to freely change his form, is now gradually changing, and his body is slowly regaining the abilities he should have.
