Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

Red stone iron ore, green stone copper ore.

This was his vague memory, and after an identification, it was indeed true.

I didn't expect that this was actually a natural iron ore cave.

After walking for thousands of meters, Zhang Chi felt that the altitude here was getting lower and lower, and maybe it was underground now.

Zhang Chi picked up a lot of iron ore on the ground, and even on the walls of the cave, he saw a lot of iron ore embedded on it.

It was just a little strange that there were only iron ore scattered along the way, and almost no broken stones could be seen on the ground.

After walking hundreds of steps, the height of the cave became lower and lower.

Zhang Chi even squatted and walked forward, which meant that his physical strength had become extremely strong now, otherwise he would not be able to hold on for long.

Until the height of the cave became less than one meter, he had begun to hesitate whether to continue moving forward, and a ray of light suddenly appeared in the cave in front.

A look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he turned back to signal Da Huang to be silent.

Seeing it nod, Zhang Chi extinguished the torch and tiptoed forward.

In front of the exit, Zhang Chi quietly poked his head out and looked at this huge natural cave.

Not counting the passage Zhang Chi came in through, the entire cave is as big as a football field.

There is no light source near the exit, but a huge amount of iron ore can be vaguely seen.

On the other side, there is a small wall that glows.

The brightness of the wall is not high, similar to moonlight, so it only illuminates half of the cave.

With this weak light, Zhang Chi looked around the cave.

In the center are some rubble, with it as the center, and irregular piles of rubble of different sizes appear around it.

He even saw something like wood in it.

Under the glowing stone wall in the distance, there is a plant.

He took out the detection gem to see if there are any creatures here, but found that this place has actually left the detection range.

After thinking about it, he quietly signaled Da Huang to observe, and Da Huang poked his head out from behind Zhang Chi.

Scanning the cave, his pupils soon shrank, and his eyes were locked in a dark place.

It patted Zhang Chi's back calmly.

Zhang Chi turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction of Da Huang's eyes.

In the darkness in the distance, a shadow was moving.

There are actually living creatures in this cave!

Although he could see some shadows, Zhang Chi's eyes did not have the ability of night vision after all.

So he signaled Da Huang to retreat, and retreated a full 100 meters.

The man and the leopard whispered to each other.

"You mean, those are big rats?"

"How many are there?"

"What? More than a hundred?"

"As long as there are no high-quality ones."

After confirming with Da Huang again and again that there were no other creatures and high-quality beasts, Zhang Chi took Da Huang back to the cave entrance.

This time, they were much more arrogant.

Zhang Chi lit 20 torches at a time and threw them around the cave, focusing on the place where the rats gathered.

"Da Huang, you guard..."

Zhang Chi had just said half of his words when he saw Da Huang scurry out.

These rats are really big, about the same size as medium-sized dogs.

If a normal cat saw them, it would be hard to say who would eat whom.

But Da Huang has been following Zhang Chi recently, and the food is good. His body length is close to two meters, far exceeding the ordinary leopards on Blue Star.

It is needless to say what the scene will be when a cat enters a group of rats, or a high-quality cat enters an ordinary group of rats.

Zhang Chi guarded the entrance of the cave to prevent the rats from escaping, and also to let Da Huang play for a while longer.

Taking out the survival manual, Zhang Chi identified the big black rat under his feet.

[Stone Rat

Strength: Ordinary

Evaluation: A rat that likes to eat stones and can also eat soil. It is timid, grows very fast, and has delicious meat. In addition to eating and drinking, its biggest hobby is mating, so it is also called pig rat. ]

The identification information surprised him a little.

This thing eats soil?

Eats soil, grows fast, and tastes good.

Isn't this a perfect meat?

Isn't this more cost-effective than raising pigs?

And if the number is large enough, it can even mine.

He had thought before that there was no stone on the way here, only iron ore was left in place.

It turned out that the stone was eaten by the stone rat.

Maybe the whole cave was dug out by stone rats.

If he had a stone rat mining team, wouldn't he be able to just wait and pick up the ore?

Zhang Chi, who was attracted by the stone rats, turned his head and looked at the stone rats in the cave that were being abused by Da Huang.

In just a few minutes, the number of stone rats had been reduced by more than half.

Zhang Chi was very distressed and shouted:

"Da Huang, stop."

Da Huang looked back in confusion, not quite understanding why his master, who always liked to kill the whole family of "people", asked him to stop.

"Just knock them out, be careful, try not to lose any limbs."

Da Huang was confused, but he had to listen to his master.

Since the master had spoken, he didn't play anymore.

It swung its claws very quickly, and when the invincible meow punch came out, no stone rat could escape the fate of being knocked to the ground.

Except for a few unlucky guys who hit the sharp stones, the rest of the stone rats fainted.

Zhang Chi put all the dead stone rats into his bag and disassembled them.

80 stone rats only yield 7 wooden treasure chests and 1,600 units of rat meat.

The treasure chest drop rate of stone rats is extremely low, but the meat production is just the opposite.

The manual shows that a wild boar weighing nearly 1,000 kilograms can only yield 100 units of pork.

And a stone rat weighing dozens of kilograms can yield 20 units.

This stone rat is indeed much more cost-effective than raising pigs.

Take out the rope, tie up all the stone rats simply, and then throw them into the satchel.

After the dimensional satchel is upgraded to the excellent level, in addition to the space expanding tenfold, it can also hold living things.

This is the first time he has used this function.

He glanced at the time, and there were less than 20 minutes left before dark.

At the speed of him and Da Huang, it would only take eight or nine minutes to get back home from here.

Ten minutes is enough.

Zhang Chi decided to take advantage of this time to simply explore the cave.

As for the remaining two excellent levels, they can only do it another day.

There is no way, the daytime is too short, and the rain is getting heavier.

Not only Zhang Chi, but almost everyone in the channel is complaining about not having enough time.

Especially when they need to clean up the stones by the river.

Zhang Chi came to the glowing wall as soon as possible, looking at the stone wall that was dark in color but emitting a bright light.

【Xuanjin Lingshi

Grade: Excellent

Effect: Contains gold energy, can automatically absorb energy to replenish itself

Evaluation: A rare energy stone in the misty world, it is the energy source of many weapons and facilities. When the gold energy is sufficient, its own energy recovery is accelerated. 】

Energy stone?

He was not surprised that there was such a thing in the misty world, but why did he feel that this thing was so familiar?

Why did he seem to have seen it somewhere?

Zhang Chi was sure that it would glow. Apart from fire, he had never seen anything else.

But the stone wall in front of him, whether it was completely black or bright white, made him feel very familiar.

Forget it, who cares, dig it out first.

Reaching into the bag with his left hand, he took out a pickaxe.

Just as Zhang Chi held the pickaxe in both hands and smashed it at the Xuanjin Lingshi, Zhang Chi saw the arm crossbow on his left hand.

The arm crossbow was completely black, with a faint glow.

Wait!

He seemed to remember that the Xuanling arm crossbow was called the Xuanjin arm crossbow before it was sublimated? !

Looking at this bright white light, and thinking about the white energy arrows he often shoots.

It's confirmed!

The Xuanling Arm Crossbow, or the Xuanjin Arm Crossbow, was made of this material before it was sublimated.

No wonder the Xuanling Arm Crossbow can condense energy, and no wonder its energy arrows have such strong penetrating power.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi's pickaxe almost left an afterimage.

Chunks of Xuanjin Spirit Stone fell off the stone wall and entered Zhang Chi's satchel before they landed.

After putting away the last piece, Zhang Chi looked at the manual and saw more than a hundred units of Xuanjin Spirit Stone.

How many arm crossbows can be made with this!

I'm rich!

This wave of harvest is almost catching up with the Xingchen Iron Mine he saw during the assessment.

Zhang Chi was so happy that his mouth was almost grinning to his ears.

He glanced at the time and there were still fifteen minutes left.

Just when he was about to go home, Da Huang bit the corner of his clothes.

He looked at Da Huang in confusion, but found that his front paws were pointing at a stone pestle in front of him.

Looking at the ordinary stone pile about one meter high in front of him, Zhang Chi thought that Da Huang had found something good underneath.

After digging up the stone pestle, he didn't see anything special, only a large mass of white stone with a rough surface.

Seeing Da Huang nod, Zhang Chi grabbed it hard, and five small holes were made in the stone by Zhang Chi's fingers.

This feeling, is...

Looking at his right hand, his five fingers were covered with white dust, and a slight burning sensation came from his fingers.

Is this lime? !

How could there be lime here?

After digging up the entire stone pestle thoroughly, he found that there was only one white stone mass with lime inside the stone pestle, but there were also some stones that were obviously formed after the lime reaction.

He stood up and hurried to another stone pestle not far away and quickly dug it open.

Although no lime was found this time, half-refined iron ore and a lot of coal were found.

Zhang Chi was in doubt. Was there anyone here?

Or, was there intelligent life here?

They can burn lime and refine iron ore, which means they are not a low level of civilization.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the plants that he had ignored because he was attracted by the black gold spirit stone.

Before, he thought it was a weed, but now it seems hard to say.

Identification.

[Weeds

Quality: Excellent

Evaluation: A rare high-quality weed with no edible or medicinal value. Because it is tough and difficult to chew, even herbivores rarely choose it as food. ]

Uh, it is really a weed?

But a high-quality weed? Is this scientific?

Could it be that...

Zhang Chi hurriedly pulled away the weeds and identified the ground.

[Soil

Grade: Excellent]

It turned out to be excellent soil, no wonder even weeds can grow to high-quality.

The area of ​​weeds is not large, only a dozen square meters in total.

Take out the shovel and dig!

Although Zhang Chi dug nearly 100,000 units of soil today and ran for dozens of miles,

But he didn't feel tired at all at this time. Instead, he was as excited as a chicken. Sparks flew when the shovel poked the stones at the bottom.

In order not to waste a gram of fine soil, he simply shoveled all the stones off.

The shovel in his hand left an afterimage, which showed how fast he shoveled the soil.

In the end, Zhang Chi harvested a full 1,000 units of fine soil!

If Zhang Chi synthesized it bit by bit by himself, not to mention how much soil he would need, it would take 11,000 minutes!

That is 183 hours, nearly eight days.

It doesn't sound long, but he has only traveled five days so far.

After collecting the soil, Zhang Chi came to the largest stone pestle in the center of the cave with satisfaction.

I didn't think much about it before, but now I carefully observed that this stone pestle was actually square.

So it seems that this should be a house of this civilization.

Digging!

In order to save time, Zhang Chi simply used a shoulder bag to collect the stone pestle directly.

When he dug to the center, he suddenly found a book!

This book has been through so many years that it has become tattered, and the paper used to make the book has hardened a little.

He didn't dare to open it, so he carefully picked it up and put it into the space for identification.

When he saw the identification information, Zhang Chi's pupils shrank.

[Survivor's Diary]

This is actually a diary written by a survivor like him? !

No!

This should be a diary written by a survivor long before him!
