Magician's Live Stocking Daily [Infinite]

Chapter 213: Picking Herbs to Make Explosives

When Jiang Xun heard about the herbs, he took the job immediately: "Take me to have a look."

"Okay." Ying Ran and several others ate the food and regained some strength. They got up from the ground and introduced these plants to everyone as they walked.

Some of them were recognized by Li Yang, such as dandelions, plantains, thistles, wild mint... Some might be plants unique to the plane, like round beans and red sweet fruits, which could only be identified by primitive people with gathering skills.

"The resources here are quite abundant." Jiang Xun exclaimed.

Ying Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head. He pointed to the tall mountain behind him that was emitting white smoke. “That mountain can spit fire. It has already taken away several of our companions who were out looking for food.”

Li Yang looked at Xu Si.

"It's an active volcano." Xu Si didn't even need to investigate on the spot. He took out a telescope and took a look and understood. "And judging from the color of the mountain pass and the smoke, it should be the kind that erupts frequently. I suggest you stay away from it."

It seems that this island is indeed not convenient for living or holding large-scale activities.

Li Yang asked everyone to dig out all the herbs, pack them up, and take them back to the tribe to replant them.

Jiang Xun thought so too.

You should take all the good things back with you.

She carefully pushed aside the weeds nearby, picked out the valuable plants, and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety:

"There are also a lot of poisonous grasses around here. Don't come over if you are injured, and don't dig the wrong ones. Be careful to distinguish them!"

"Poisonous?" Ying Ran was shocked.

"You've lived here for so long, but you still can't tell which ones can be used as medicine and which ones can't be touched?" Jiang Xun glared at him.

Ying Ran was scolded, but he did not refute, but his mood became even more depressed: "No wonder a few people were injured worse after applying the herbs before."

Lack of culture is really killing people.

Jiang Xun shook his head and continued to direct everyone to dig the grass.

Suddenly, she had a brainstorm and came up with a somewhat damaging but useful idea:

If we pick the poisonous weeds, carefully smear them on the arrows, and then shoot them, would they be more aggressive?

Even if someone can block arrows, can he block poison?

She secretly shared this idea with a few other people, and everyone immediately reached a consensus:

Being kind and being sharp are not contradictory.

You can first make a batch of poison arrows, and have Jiang Xun and Wu Tong keep them, and never use them unless absolutely necessary.

But if you encounter an invader like last time, it can serve as the last line of defense to protect your home.

It takes some time to pick herbs. After Li Yang arranged the tasks, she walked towards the crater alone.

Of course she didn't intend to die, she had a purpose.

Just after climbing up a few steps, pieces of pale yellow crystals appeared before my eyes.

The encyclopedia is not deceiving the magician - sulfur is indeed common in volcanic craters!

Li Yang gently patted the sulfur stones, used space to collect most of what the naked eye could see, and then went down to meet the believers.

Saltpeter is already available. Grind the sulfur into powder and add some charcoal, and you can make gunpowder!

Won’t we just beat up whoever we catch next?

It was already evening when we returned to the tribe. With a dozen more mouths to feed, the cook had a lot of work to do tonight, grilling meat and cooking soup, and was very busy.

Everyone picked a good location, planted all the herbs, and watered them, and the rice was just right.

Under the bright moonlight, the newlyweds smelled the aroma of meat, took the food handed to them with surprise, tasted it carefully, and some almost cried on the spot.

"Woo, I can actually eat such rich food in this life."

“Is this really not the last meal?”

"I'm afraid I'm hallucinating?"

The reaction from Pan Cong's tribe is not surprising, but the same reaction from Xu Si's tribe?

"We can't help it. The harvest is too bad." Island owner Xiao Xu finished a bowl of round bean and bacon porridge, and unceremoniously reached out to scoop a second bowl. "I can't even eat enough myself. It's already very difficult not to starve them to death, okay?!"

Li Yang thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

Xu Si's island is almost entirely made up of undulating mountains, with a small area of ​​arable land and not much vegetation.

"But the mineral resources are very rich." Li Wangyue couldn't help but add, "Jesse found a lot of new and unique mines today, including iron ore with super high iron content."

"Yeah." Xu Si nodded. She pointed at the few people who were lucky enough to be left. "After you finish eating, go work with them tomorrow."

This division of labor is professional, but the two islands are too far apart. If something happens, it may take a while to react.

Li Yang planned to share some of the message scrolls she had drawn before with everyone.

When it was Li Wangyue's turn, she shook her head and whistled with her thumb and index finger together.

Accompanied by a loud whistle, two birds with gray-blue feathers flew to her shoulders.

She proudly enjoyed everyone's admiring gazes and patted the heads of the two little birds:

"These are all the little birds I tamed. I can use them as messengers to pass on my messages."

It turns out to be this kind of tamed animal.

Li Yang opened her eyes, and she suddenly became curious: "Besides birds, what other animals can you tame? Can you tame bigger ones?"

"I used to be the most talented animal tamer in the tribe, and my favorite companion was a tiger!" Li Wangyue raised her head proudly.

Li Yang started to make a little calculation in her mind: the modifier she used was "the most talented in the tribe", which means that the entire Li Wangyue tribe can tame animals?

If we gather a few more, can we form a beast army?

Yes, her followers are really capable.

There is now one more way for the tribe to become stronger.

Early the next morning, Li Yang threw the sulfur stone to the hunting group and asked everyone to carefully grind it into powder with the blacksmith tools they had used before, and then add appropriate proportions of saltpeter and charcoal and put them into a bamboo tube.

The gunpowder was made. In order to test the firepower, she asked everyone to stand and watch a hundred meters away, and then randomly lit the straw rope fuse and threw it out.

Accompanied by a sharp bang, the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The mountains and forests in the distance were in a mess, with dirt and fallen leaves flying all over the sky.

Li Yang moved closer and found a small hole on the ground, and there were some scratches on the branches of several trees nearby.

If it's just the explosives, the power isn't that great.

However, if the quantity is larger, it won't be a big problem to injure a few people, not to mention killing them.

She remembered again how she felt when she was hit by Shang Heng's cannon.

In addition to the impact force generated at the moment of explosion, the iron pieces and steel balls flying after the shells shatter are also sharp weapons that can cause injuries.

When there are more iron beads in the tribe, you can consider adding some to make a few large cannonballs. On the primitive battlefield, they will definitely be weapons that can turn the tide of the battle.
