Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut

The south has been explored, and the east has also been explored a little while cutting trees. A treasure chest has been found, so the chance of finding another treasure chest is not high.

So he chose to go north. The environment in the north is not much different from other directions, but in comparison, Zhang Chi found that the plants here are more luxuriant.

He felt that this might be because the north is closer to the water source.

So he explored harder, but not to mention the treasure chest, he didn't even find a fruit.

The resources in the nearby area are much less than he thought.

In addition to trees, there are weeds and shrubs, and there are no fruits on the trees.

I don't know if it's a seasonal problem, or if this kind of tree will not bear fruit at all.

He did pick up some stones. In half an hour, he picked up 5 units of stones.

The reason why it was so slow was that these stones were scattered here and there, and some were covered by weeds and shrubs.

However, Zhang Chi clearly felt that the frequency of stones appeared higher and higher as he went north.

After half an hour, Zhang Chi walked 500 meters north of the shelter.

There was a clear dividing line formed by fog in front of him, which he had seen when he explored the south.

On the side close to his shelter, the concentration of white fog was very low, basically not affecting the sight.

But on the other side, the concentration was higher and higher as he went further, and the visibility was only one or two hundred meters.

Zhang Chi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally chose to go deeper.

There were obviously more stones in the north. Even if he didn't go today, as long as he wanted to continue to upgrade the shelter, he would have to explore north sooner or later.

Besides, he had a certain confidence. His axe was of excellent grade, not just for chopping trees.

The raincoat also had a certain degree of defense, although not high, but it was enough.

His talent had one more use today. If he really encountered danger, he would sublimate the raincoat and the defense would be guaranteed.

After thinking this through, Zhang Chi continued to go deeper to the north, but his pace was much slower than before, and the whole person entered a posture of being ready to go.

After walking for an hour, Zhang Chi was surprised to find that there was a small pile of stones in the distance, which looked like a large stone had been broken.

Zhang Chi hurried forward and put it into the space of the survival manual.

Just this time, he actually harvested 43 units of stone.

Adding the more than 20 units collected on the road before, he now has 70 units of stone.

Zhang Chi felt much lighter in his heart. With these stones, the upgrade of the shelter is a sure thing.

No longer have to worry about the roof leaking at night.

Just when Zhang Chi was about to go home, he suddenly heard a slight piercing sound.

It was like scratching the table with nails.

Zhang Chi approached the source of the sound carefully, and the axe in his hand was slightly raised.

It was not that he was courting death, but that this place was too close to his shelter.

If it was a wild beast or something, it would sooner or later discover his shelter.

It was better to take a look from a distance now. If you can sneak attack, sneak attack. If you can't kill, at least you have a mental preparation.

Less than 20 meters away, the scratching sound sounded again, and Zhang Chi determined the specific location of the sound this time.

Looking through the gap in the forest, Zhang Chi found a yellow cat with a body length of more than one meter in the distance, rolling around not far away, sharpening its claws with a wooden treasure box from time to time.

He squatted down quickly, but because the distance was too far and there were many trees and bushes in between, Zhang Chi could not see clearly.

He didn't know whether the survival manual could be identified from such a distance.

Zhang Chi quietly took out the survival manual. He didn't dare to move too much. You know, cats are very vigilant.

[Leopard

Strength: Ordinary

Evaluation: A hunter who is good at speed. Because he is a minor, he can only bully some weak animals. ]

Seeing the information in the survival manual, Zhang Chi's pupils shrank.

Although he was holding a sharp blade and the opponent's body was not big, he still had a deep fear of creatures like jackals, tigers and leopards.

But Zhang Chi was a little unwilling. After all, the opponent had a wooden treasure box in his hand, and in his hand, it was a black iron treasure box.

Who knows what good things he can get.

His strength was not weak. At least he had a light steel axe in his hand. Not to mention a leopard that was only a little over one meter long, he could kill even a bear.

However, he would definitely get hurt in the end, and there was a possibility that he would be seriously injured.

He couldn't accept being hurt at this time.

And he couldn't catch up with the leopard at his speed.

If he let it run away, he would not be able to live a peaceful life with the vengeance of cats.

Since he decided not to take action, he began to retreat slowly, intending to leave quietly.

But before he retreated a few steps, the bushes in the other direction suddenly began to shake.

Indistinctly, a small gray shadow appeared and fled quickly after seeing the leopard.

The leopard suddenly raised its head and chased after it along the shaking bushes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This unexpected turn made Zhang Chi's cold heart become hot again.

It was just a box, not a leopard's cub. It couldn't chase him after stealing it, right?

Zhang Chi gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards the treasure chest, while staring at the direction where the leopard left.

Soon, he arrived in front of the treasure chest and put it into the manual space.

Before leaving, Zhang Chi hesitated for a moment, identified the direction, and left to the west.

Along the way, Zhang Chi looked around vigilantly, especially behind him, twisting his neck so much that it was stiff.

At the same time, he also plucked a handful of leaves from the tree and rubbed them on his body frantically.

The reason for doing this is of course not because Zhang Chi is crazy, but because he is afraid that the leopard will track him down by following the smell he left behind.

You know, cats have very sensitive noses.

If it weren't for the rain now, the smell would not stay for long, and he would not risk taking the treasure chest even if he saw the leopard leave.

Fortunately, I don't know whether it was because the leopard was busy hunting or because Zhang Chi covered up his own smell, but he was safe all the way.

After a circle, Zhang Chi returned from the west side of the shelter, which was the only direction within a radius of 500 meters of the shelter that had not been explored.

Zhang Chi looked back at the distinct fog and decided to explore the west before dark.

On the one hand, he felt that he had covered up the smell, and the smell dissipated quickly on rainy days. The leopard would not be able to find him unless he conducted a carpet search.

On the other hand, when he searched in other directions, he didn't see any animals, not even insects. So the clear fog behind him is probably due to the novice protection period.

With these two factors combined, Zhang Chi felt that his safety should not be a big problem.

In addition to these two points, there is another reason.

If this fog dividing line is really the so-called novice protection zone, then there must be something he needs within this 500-meter radius.

Yes, it's food.

Those who have played the game know that the novice protection zone will at least have the basic supplies needed by novices.

Otherwise, in order to obtain supplies, novices still need to step out of the protection zone, so what is the meaning of this protection zone?

He has already explored the other three sides, so he decided to explore the west side roughly today.

Otherwise, he can't go hungry at night, right?

After starting to explore, Zhang Chi observed these trees and found that the trees on the west were actually different from the trees on the east and north. The leaves were much wider and the trunks were thicker, but the height was lower.

Thinking back carefully, it was similar to the south, but I was too anxious when exploring the south in the morning, so I didn't take it to heart.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chi was a little anxious because he found nothing.

But as the sky was getting darker, he could only go east and return to the shelter as soon as possible.

But less than a hundred meters later, Zhang Chi found a tree lying on the ground.

It was not cut down by someone, but it seemed that its life had come to an end and it fell to the ground by itself.

The leaves had all fallen off, the trunk was rotten, and some black creatures grew on it. From a distance, it looked like the tree was parasitized by some creature and died. In this dim sky, the sudden appearance of this scene made Zhang Chi's scalp numb.
