My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 145 Succulent Sumac

If all of them are used to make steel bars, Lin Xiu will have no iron to use in the future.

So the method Lin Xiu chose was to use wood instead of steel bars.

"Anchor, the desert island you are on should have a tropical climate. If you build a house with wood in this kind of place, it is likely to be bitten by insects!"

"Indeed, there should be a lot of bugs on this island!"

"The problem is that the anchor doesn't have steel bars, so what else can I use besides wood!"

Seeing Lin Xiu cut a lot of wood, the water friends also knew that he was going to use wood to support the structure of the house.

But using wood to prop up a house has a high risk of being hollowed out by moths.

And its stability is far below the steel bar.

So some water friends hurriedly advised Lin Xiu.

"It is true that there are hidden dangers in using wood as a house support, but if you paint the wood before using it, then as long as there are no accidents, such a house can support hundreds of years of living!"

Lin Xiu did not deny what the water friends said.

But for this point, Lin Xiu has actually been prepared for a long time.

Insects that like to make holes in wood are not their natural enemies, but paint, which has a pungent smell, what they are most afraid of.

In the world of bugs, smell is the only way for them to identify their own kind and gain recognition.

And when it comes to things like paint, the smell on them will be completely changed.

At that time, they are equivalent to breaking away from their own group.

Even bugs are afraid of being out of touch with society.

So in the face of painted wood, these bugs will choose to stay away.

This is why Lin Xiu dared to use wood instead of steel bars.

"Why didn't I expect that paint can also be used to repel insects and prevent corrosion!"

"I have a question, where can the host find paint!"

When Lin Xiu said this, many fans suddenly realized.

But this creates a new question, where does the paint come from?
You know, paint is produced industrially. Lin Xiu is now on a deserted island. Where did he get the paint?
"Paint, if you want to find it, you will always find it, just rely on luck!"

Lin Xiu said seemingly casually, while turning on the advanced navigation.

With advanced navigation to guide the direction, it is not difficult to find the sumac tree.

There is natural paint in the sumac tree, but the sumac tree will cause damage to human skin, and people who are allergic will have symptoms.

So under normal circumstances, most people don't use lacquer paint directly.

"Ding, a total of 64 locations that meet the requirements have been found!"

The system's response speed was very fast, and within a short moment, it helped Lin Xiu find the location.

"Old irons, let's go see where there is paint now!"

Lin Xiu followed the direction of the system navigation and walked over quickly.

Now that the wood is almost cut down, all that's left is to paint.

"I don't believe that the anchor is so lucky to be able to find paint so easily!"

"Will you bet upstairs!"

"Hehe, do you think I'm stupid? The anchor is sure to win every bet. If I dare to bet with him, he will find it [-]%!"

"Then what a fart! (Browny eyes jpg)"

Lin Xiu set off to look for paint, and the water friend who thought he couldn't find it jumped out immediately.

But when someone mentioned betting, this water friend's attitude was very firm.

And the reason is naturally known to old fans.

Lin Xiu seems to have a natural halo bonus. No matter what, as long as he bets with his water friends, Lin Xiu must win in the end.

So now, except for those newcomers, no one dared to accept betting with Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu didn't care about the barrage, he quickly crossed several miles of mountains and forests.

It has to be said that the vegetation on this island is still very lush.

Those tall trees are almost as tall as the towering trees in the primeval forest.

Lin Xiu walked into the forest and soon saw the sumac tree he was looking for.

"Guys, look what happened to us!"

Lin Xiu pointed to the four or five big trees in front of him and said to the live broadcast room.

"This thing is a walnut tree!?"

"Is the person upstairs so ignorant? Although walnut trees and sumac trees are a bit similar, it's not hard to tell the difference!"

"It turns out that the paint that the anchor said came from sumac trees. Most people wouldn't dare to touch this thing!"

Seeing these trees, many water friends are clear.

The sap of the lacquer tree is a natural paint, which is not only clear in color, but also not easy to fall off.

This is top-of-the-line paint, industrially treated, expensive, and hard to come by.

But the lacquer juice that has not been processed is something that most people dare not touch.

Because after contact with that kind of thing, the skin will be allergic, and various chickenpox and measles will occur.

This kind of pain is not something ordinary people can bear, so the lacquer sap that has not undergone industrial treatment will not be directly used to paint wood.

However, since Lin Xiu dared to choose the lacquer tree, he naturally had confidence.

He now possessed the hands of a divine doctor, and the allergenic properties of sumac had little effect on him.

Even if Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong have any problems after encountering them, Lin Xiu can just help them cure them.

So, now Lin Xiu is completely bold and talented.

"Although the lacquer tree is scary, I am allergic and immune, so I can touch it directly. Everyone is not immune, so don't learn from me!"

While talking, Lin Xiu walked to the sumac tree.

He drew his dagger and slashed at it.

brush!
Suddenly the bark split open, and the dark sap dripped from it.

This is the sap of the lacquer tree, and it is also the natural paint that Lin Xiu will use.

"This sumac seems to be more succulent than ordinary sumac, which is just convenient for me!"

Lin Xiu saw that this lacquer tree was able to ooze sap so easily, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

If it was the same as ordinary lacquer trees, it would take a lot of time for Lin Xiu to save enough paint for all the wood he needs to paint.

Now this tree has so much sap, enough for him to use.

After finding the paint and cutting the wood, Lin Xiu and the others became extremely busy in the next few days.

Lin Xiu was responsible for collecting the sap of the lacquer tree, while Xiong Batian officially became a carpenter after receiving Lin Xiu's guidance.

planing, sanding, polishing...

These are very difficult things for humans to do, but Xiong Batian is extremely proficient in doing them now.

Batch after batch of wood passed through its hands, turning into smooth pillars and wood chips.

As for Little Wukong, Lin Xiu didn't let him participate in the construction of the shelter.

It has only one task, and that is to store food!
