A few days later, in the early morning, the birds chirped.
The weather is clear, and the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, penetrating the faint mist that permeates the forest and sprinkles on the ground.
The boy and the girl stood side by side, looking at the cave with some mixed emotions on their faces.
The young man had blond hair, fair skin, a strong figure, wearing chain mail, a vigilant expression, and a spirited spirit.
The girl was wearing a purple hooded robe, black curls spilling out of the hood, she had wheat-colored skin, a beautiful face, and a pair of purple eyes that especially attracted the attention of others, shining like jewels.
It was the two of Needle and Purple.
A few days ago, the two escaped here under the pursuit of the fire poison bee swarm.
After a life-and-death fight, the two of them managed to save their lives.
After that, they healed and rested in the cave, which became a temporary camp for them to breathe.
However, although the cave is warm, it is not a home after all.
"Let's go." Finally glancing at the cave, Needle turned around first and walked towards the woods.
Purple Flower followed closely behind.
Unlike the previous situation of escaping here, both of them were carrying large packages.
These packages contain a large amount of animal bones, meat floss, and ore.
In addition, there are several spears and short spears.
The original long sword of the needle had been lost by the bonfire. His only dagger was broken by the sharp head of the brown bear when he assassinated the monkey-tailed brown bear.
So, these days, Zi Ti and Needle Jin have worked together to create some spears and short spears.
The spear is about 1.8 meters long, and the short spear is about 1.5 meters. The spear is used for handling, and the short spear is used for throwing. The spear body is shaped from wood near the cave, which resembles ironwood and has a hard texture like iron.
It was difficult to create these war spears by needle cutting alone, and the corrosive agent of Purple Stem played a huge role in this.
Compared to swords made of real steel, these war spears are of low value. Whether it is toughness or sharpness, it is not as good as a sword.
But there is no way.
The needle is now seriously lacking in weapons, and there is only one dagger intact, which is placed in Zidi's hand.
Before leaving, Zidi wanted to give the small dagger to Needle for use, but was rejected by the latter. This little dagger from Zidi is a bit special, it is used to handle materials. Purple Flower should be used when configuring potions.
At the same time, if you are in a deep crisis, Zidi can still pull it out to defend yourself.
In the wild environment, even if Needle Jin had a heart, it was impossible to protect her completely and thoroughly. Therefore, this requires Zidi to have a certain ability to protect herself.
At the same time, the short dagger did not bring much help to the needle.
Speaking of which, the claws of the monkey-tailed brown bear can actually be used as a weapon. But strangely, when it was a brown bear, its claws quickly collapsed and turned into a charcoal ash-like existence.
Not only is there a lack of weapons, but so is the lack of armor.
Zi Di was wearing an apprentice robe, with only weak magic defense power, and in the face of the biting and collision of fierce beasts, the defense was quite worrying.
The pair of armor of the needle had been abandoned. In the fight with the monkey-tailed brown bear, they played the last defensive role. Without them, Needle's forearm might have been smashed off.
In short, this pair of arm armor was extremely deformed, and one of them almost completely cracked and could only be forged back into the furnace.
The needle still lacked a helmet, and the chain mail on his upper body was his only consolation.
The needle takes the lead, exploring the way ahead.
The purple flower is behind the hall.
The two gradually entered the forest.
Their first objective is to recover the campfire site that was attacked by a swarm of fiery poison bees.
This is well thought out.
The gilded long sword was thrown there. Although the long sword is not easy to use, it still has irreplaceable value.
More importantly, only by returning to the bonfire can Zidi take advantage of the situation to find the original way she led the guards to explore and search and rescue.
There were several temporary camps on this original road, each with a small amount of supplies hidden in it.
Because of the hard work of the needle and purple flowers, they had plenty of food but not much water at this time.
During this journey after the needle was awakened, they had no chance to obtain drinkable water other than searching for a few water bags.
Although they crossed the river, there were terrible python vines hidden in the river, and the risk of taking water was too high.
And around the cave, water sources are scarce.
There is not much water left in the water bag, which is also one of the main reasons why the boys and girls are forced to leave the cave.
The trees stood straight and upright, and Zidi found that the deeper they went into the forest, the taller and thicker these trees became, and some trees were even fifty or sixty meters high, reaching straight into the sky.
The sunlight did not shine down like a pillar here, and in the thick white mist deep in the forest, the sunlight became weak and spread everywhere along the white mist.
The fog is also filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, and flocks of birds fly over the canopy. Occasionally, woodpeckers can be seen, perched on tree trunks at least three meters above the ground. The sound of bird beaks pecking at wood made the forest more and more quiet.
Soon after, the two of them went deep into the forest, surrounded by trees.
Needle and purple stem stopped and began to mark.
The purple stem is on the trunk close to the ground, and the traces are cut with a dagger. The needle took out a piece of animal skin, used charcoal as a pen, and made a map in the sketch.
This is to prevent getting lost.
It's easy to get lost in the forest because the trees look the same. Elves are super talented in this area, and it is said that no young elf will get lost in the forest. The forest is like a home for the elves.
The consequences of getting lost are quite serious, the wild is not friendly to humans, so getting lost in the forest is often the beginning of death.
Needle carefully tucked the animal skin and charcoal pen into his arms.
This is his fourteenth drawing.
There was a small black handwriting in the center of the animal skin, which was very rough.
When the needle started again, there was a slight hesitation on his face.
After walking for so long, according to common sense, he should have found the traces of him running away with Zi Ti in his arms.
But no.
The surrounding environment is full of natural atmosphere, and there is not the slightest trace at all.
The thread kept secretly thinking about it. At that time, he was running wildly at night with Ziti in his arms, although the situation was urgent and he didn't pay much attention. But according to his feelings, it didn't take long for him to discover the cave.
Based on time and speed, he didn't run far, and the campfire site should be nearby.
"Let's go this way." The needle is still opening the way ahead.
He chose to go to the left.
The strategy he adopted was more conservative and cautious, focusing on caves and searching for possible traces. The advantage of this is obvious, that is, there will be no omissions.
By noon, the sun was obviously warmer, and the light mist in the forest gradually dissipated.
The vision was much clearer, but the young man's face became more and more ugly.
He checked the map in his hand, and every other distance, he made records in the forest, and now the marks on the map have formed a large circle around the cave.
After such an intensive search, I still didn't find the slightest trace!
"This place is very wrong!" Zidi was suspicious, "The scope of this forest is too wide."
The place they had traveled before was obviously a rainforest landform, the air was moist and sultry, low shrubs covered the woodland, and countless trees and vines were densely intertwined with each other.
And now this area is a forest landform.
Although they are all trees, these trees are very straight, with few vines and much fewer shrubs and ferns than in the rainforest.
Needle certainly finds this too.
He originally thought that the scope of this forest was very small, because it was located near the cave, and the strange scorching veins created a landform that was very different from the surrounding landscape.
But now this forest is too vast, greatly beyond the estimates of boys and girls.
According to the route, the landform on the island should be a rainforest, which is normal. At the same time, Needle Jin clearly remembered that in the early and middle stages of escaping that night, the surrounding rainforest was also dense.
The suspected black panther beast was pounced on a branch that was obviously a rainforest.
But soon after, Zidi discovered the cave and made a reminder.
"After discovering the cave, I immediately adjusted the direction of my run, and at that time, I should have entered the forest from the rainforest." Needle was sure that his memory was not wrong.
Because he had also compared Zi Di's memories with each other.
According to memory, the forest is only a small part, surrounded by a huge rainforest landform. But after exploring it all morning, strange facts were abruptly placed in front of the two of them, leaving them puzzled.
"It seems that this island is very strange! Not only are beasts emerging in endless streams, with strange species, like patchwork, but also plants are very dangerous, and the landform is very likely to undergo strange changes." Zidi was talking when suddenly a black shadow fell from the towering canopy.
The black shadow was slender and extremely fast, penetrating the air and making a whooshing sound.
But the wire is faster than it is.
In an instant, the spear stabbed sharply!
The black shadow's momentum came to an abrupt end, its thick neck was pierced by the tip of the spear, and it hung on the spear.
This is a peculiar bird.
It is about the size of an adult's fist and is covered with a layer of black feathers. The feathers are very hard, as if they were made of iron. The heavy feathers also make it lose the ability to fly. But at the same time, it also exercised the bird's strong muscles.
This bird usually lurks in the bushes, and when it finds an animal walking in the forest, it often jumps down, accelerates through its legs and wings, and cleverly uses gravity to peck through the animal's head at once.
After the animal dies, they suck the animal's brain plasma, blood, then eyeballs, etc., and finally the flesh and blood.
After encountering it several times, Zidi named it Iron Feather Bird.
The iron feather bird was almost completely unblemished, except for one place, which was the neck under the bird's head. The feathers here are very fine, and the defense is the weakest.
At this moment, the tip of the needle spear accurately pierced the neck of the iron feather bird.
This is a fatal blow.
Soon, the struggling iron feather bird was motionless.
The needle aimed the spear at the ground, and with a forceful insertion, the iron feather bird corpse was fixed.
Zidi stepped forward and took out the dagger for dissection. Iron feathers are very hard, which is the best material. In addition, the blood of the Iron Feather Bird will also be collected by the girl.
As for the flesh and blood of the Iron Feather Bird, the amount was small and the value was quite low, and it was discarded by Purple Di without hesitation.
When the girl was collecting materials, Zhen Jin held a short spear and stood beside her to guard to prevent other beasts from attacking.
The first time he encountered this kind of iron-feathered bird, the young man was a little flustered.
He first swept the iron feather bird to the ground with a spear, the iron feather bird could not fly, but the speed of the attack on the ground was very fast, and the needle threw three short spears one after another, which slowed down the iron feather bird. Finally, the needle used a spear to forcefully pierce the belly of the iron-feathered bird - the tip of the spear was also destroyed.
But now, the needle technique is becoming more and more sophisticated.
He found that the Iron Feather Bird was most threatening when it came down from the tree, but at the same time it exposed its neck in the air, and it was also the weakest time for the Iron Feather Bird.
With this discovery, the Iron Feather Bird can no longer pose a threat, and every time it becomes a contribution.
In addition to the iron-feathered bird, there are many dangers in the forest.
Among the fallen tree trunks and rotten leaves, there are often highly poisonous vipers.
Motionless plants must also not let their guard down.
For example, some kind of inconspicuous moss can cause the skin to inadvertently come into contact with its needle poisoning!
Green spots began to grow on Needle's face, which were round and small, and felt nothing. After Zidi found out, he immediately gave him a needle gold antidote, which could only be relieved, not cured.
The two had to search quickly to find the culprit. Zidi used moss, made a brief preparation, and then entered the antidote agent, which eradicated the toxins in the needle's body.
All kinds of hidden dangers greatly hinder the exploration progress of the boy and girl.
Needle looked up at the gradually gloomy sky and had to make a helpless decision: "Let's go back to the cave to rest."
