Chapter 54 Drilling Wood to Make Fire

Early the next morning, after Balka and Kalia got up, Balka first practiced the bow and arrow and what the ranger needed to practice.Kalia prayed directly in the tent, communicating with the Holy Light.

Seeing the two of them get up, Wayne started to prepare the campfire for breakfast.There is also a half-frozen velociraptor thigh strip, so there is no need to grill it in the morning.Instead, he put a little rice in a large pot, and brought back some mushrooms that Wayne picked from a few dead trees nearby.

"Balka, come and detect whether these mushrooms are poisonous." Wayne walked back to the camp and said to Balka.

"Mushroom?" Balka came over and reached out to take a mushroom, and then pressed it gently with his hand, feeling that these mushrooms were very fragile.Knowing that Wayne is still waiting, he casts arcane tricks to detect whether the mushrooms Wayne picked are poisonous.He picked out the poisonous mushrooms and threw them away. He carried the rest to Wayne's side and said, "Okay, these are non-poisonous mushrooms."

"Yeah. Go and practice." Wayne nodded to Balka after looking at the mushrooms that Balka put down.

However, Balka did not go back to practice, but stood aside and asked Wen En: "Wen, what do we have for breakfast?"

"Cook mushrooms, minced meat and rice to make porridge. We will have porridge in the morning." Wen replied without knowing what he was doing.

"Porridge?" Balka was taken aback, because the high elves had never cooked like this. Generally speaking, they either ate the fruit directly, or threw the fruit into the pot and cooked it.Generally speaking, only those orphans and those high elves who can't make money will get things like rice for free to maintain their own survival.Therefore, these rice noodles are considered to be eaten by lower creatures, and no ordinary high elves would eat these things.

"That's right, do you think rice should not be eaten?" Wayne knew what was going on in Quel'Thalas, so he was ready to explain it to Balka.

"I don't have any objection to eating rice. As long as it tastes good, I can eat anything." Balka's answer was beyond Wayne's expectations, but this is the answer a foodie should have.

Not long after, the scent from the pot came out, and even Walker, who was sleeping, could smell the scent in a daze.After a while, he opened his eyes and woke up.

"Water, give me water quickly." Walker yelled as soon as he woke up.His mouth was so dry now that he suspected he would die if he didn't drink.

Wayne heard Walker's hoarse voice, and immediately handed over the water bag.Walker snatched the 'gudong gudong' and drank vigorously until he drank all the water in the water bag.

"Huh——, fortunately, there is water to drink, otherwise I will definitely die. This is the first time that I feel so uncomfortable when I open my eyes." Walker put down the water bag and sat on the ground and said.

"It's normal, who made you eat so many peppers yesterday." Wayne shrugged and said.

"Is this related to those peppers?" Walker was taken aback when he heard what Wayne said, and then said, "If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have eaten so much."

"I reminded you yesterday, who told you not to listen?" Wayne said, looking at the porridge in the pot.

"Well, I admit that I didn't pay attention to what you said yesterday, but it's the first time I feel so uncomfortable." Walker asked Wayne while patting his stomach at this moment: "What are you cooking? How does it smell?" Does it smell good?"

"It's just porridge, with minced meat, rice and some non-toxic mushrooms in it." Hearing Walker's question, Wayne replied.

"Isn't it ready? I really want to drink it right away." Walker asked, staring at the pot.

"It's not just that you want to drink it right away, look at the one over there." While keeping an eye on the pot and not letting the rest of the pot come out, Wayne said to Walker, pointing to Barka who looked this way from time to time.

"It turned out to be the boy Balka. It seems that this pot is really good." Walker followed Wayne's finger and looked at Balka who had been looking at this side, and immediately turned around and said to Wayne with a smile.

"Okay, it's ready." Wayne scooped up the meat in the pot with a spoon and found that it was all cooked, so he shouted loudly.

"Oh, that's right." Walker immediately found a bowl when he heard it, and scooped up a large bowl full of it with a spoon.

Balka had been paying attention to this side for a long time. Seeing Walker's movements, he dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and ran over in a few steps without saying a word.After Walker finished scooping, he took the spoon and scooped up a large bowl for himself.

While the two of them were scooping up porridge, Wayne returned to the tent and asked Kaliya to come out for breakfast.

After they finished their breakfast, Wayne began to fulfill his promise and gave Walker the method of drilling wood to make fire.Next to him, Balka and Kalia also squatted there watching Wayne's movements and listening to Wayne's explanation.

"First of all, find a dry board with a dent on it, and find two straighter sticks. Prepare a strip of cloth. Finally, there are some flammable grass velvet and the like." Wayne explained while doing it: "First sharpen one end of one of the sticks, and then use the cloth strip and the other stick to make a small bow. Make a circle of the cloth strip used as the bowstring of the small bow, and sharpen the wooden stick. Pass the stick through this circle. Use the sharpened end to push against the dent of the plank, then hold down the wooden stick and start pulling the small bow back and forth continuously, so that the sharpened wooden stick will continue to rotate, and soon smoke will be emitted. Come."

"Ah, I see." Walker watched the tip of the wooden stick that Wayne pressed start to smoke, and shouted: "It must have been pulled back and forth so quickly until it caught fire."

After listening to Walker's words, Balka kept nodding from the sidelines.Only Kalia looked at Wayne with her eyes.

After hearing what Walker said, Wayne shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. I don't know if this stick will be ignited if we keep going, but there is no doubt that it will be a waste of energy."

"If that's not the case, what should we do?" Balka asked unconvinced after hearing Wayne's negation.

"In fact, you should use some easy-to-ignite grass velvet to ignite the fire, and then add small sticks that are easier to burn little by little until the flame is strong." Wayne ignored Balka's unconvinced look and started to do it directly. make the right move.I saw him use grass wool close to the place where the wooden stick was smoking, and then gently blow and blow with his mouth.Suddenly the velvet caught fire.Then Wayne put the grass velvet in the prepared place, quickly added more grass velvet, and slowly began to add small wooden sticks.After a while, a bonfire was lit.

Seeing this, the three of them all understood what to do. Barka's originally unconvinced expression faded away, and he scratched the back of his head with an expression of regret for guessing the wrong result...
