Dark night!
There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and it was pouring rain.
Big raindrops hit the leaves, making a rustling sound.
As soon as Luo Yuan got out of the cave, he was soaked by the heavy rain. Lying nearby, the monitor lizard lay quietly in the heavy rain. The rainwater kept sliding down the smooth scales on its body. The place where it lay almost formed a small Small pond.
Luo Yuan took a look at the giant lizard that was still sleeping even in the heavy rain, and then rushed into the rain curtain. He shuttled through the jungle. He quickly found a huge boulder, and quickly cut the boulder with his sword. He cut the entire stone into a circle with a diameter of forty to fifty centimeters.
He then chopped off a section of a big tree next to him, hollowed out the center of the tree, and quickly made a simple wooden barrel.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain kept falling from his face. It was almost impossible to open his eyes. He simply took off his clothes and let the heavy rain wash away his scarred body. Since he came out, he had not taken a shower for two days, and his body was covered with stains. Covered with sweat and blood, his body was already faintly smelly.
After he finished taking a shower, the wooden bucket was also filled with water in the heavy rain. Luo Yuan put on his clothes again, carried a bucket of water and a stone ball, and quickly returned to the cave.
The fire in the cave kept burning. Although it was not yet dawn, no one went to sleep. Even Wang Xiaguang, who was extremely weak, had his eyes open at this time and looked at the ceiling blankly. The atmosphere in the hall seemed particularly tense. Dull.
Luo Yuan took off his clothes again and shook them a few times. The clothes made of storm bird feathers were completely dry in an instant, and there was no longer any sign of being wetted by the rain. He put his clothes back on, cut the ball in half, hollowed out the inside, made a stone cauldron, placed it on the fire, and poured water on it.
Huang Jiahui and Cao Lin have already taken over and cleaned all the strips of cloth they could find.
The flames greedily licked the bottom of the stone pot, and the water boiled after ten minutes. Huang Jiahui put all the cloth strips into the stone pot, sterilized it at high temperature, and boiled it for ten minutes before taking it out.
The water in the stone pot has turned gray-black.
After Huo Dong poured the used water outside the cave, he boiled a pot again and washed the cloth strips repeatedly. He didn't stop until the cloth strips were all white.
Then everyone carefully washed the wound, scrubbing it with cloth strips again and again. In the meantime, Lin Xiaoji went outside to carry water five times. After everyone wiped the wound until it was dripping with blood, they finally wrapped it up.
There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine here. If even basic hygiene cannot be guaranteed, in such a harsh environment in the last days, I am afraid that even death will be unknown.
Wang Xiaguang was weak and could not even stand up. He was unable to handle it by himself. Huang Jiahui was worried that Luo Yuan would do it, so she had to do it for herself.
After scrubbing Wang Xiaguang's body and bandaging her wounds, she found that her body was shaking uncontrollably and her lips were a little purple. She touched the clothes on her back, which were a little damp, and the hay under her body was already damp.
She turned over the hay, and the mud below was wet, almost turning into mud. She quickly took all the hay and put it under her body.
Wang Xiuguang looked at Huang Jiahui who was busy and her lips trembled: "Thank you!"
Huang Jiahui sighed, with mixed feelings in her heart. She turned around and walked to the corner, poured a bowl of the blood that Luo Yuan had collected before, put it in front of her, let her take it, and said softly: "Thank Luo Yuan if you want. He was the one who let me." I take care of you."
After drinking the blood of the dark blue mutant beast, Wang Xiuguang's clammy body became hot and her spirits improved immediately. She looked at Huang Jiahui with a complicated expression: "But I still have to thank you."
Huang Jiahui paused, turned around and left.
… …
Such heavy rain is obviously not suitable for traveling, not to mention that most people are still injured.
Even Luo Yuan was a little better than yesterday, but as long as he moved a little more violently, he would feel severe pain all over his body.
Water drops kept dripping from the mud wall above the head, falling onto the wooden barrels one after another, making a ticking sound, which made people feel a little irritated.
The crypt has become increasingly damp, leaking everywhere, and the ground has turned into a muddy patch.
Luo Yuan has carefully inspected the entire long cave and found several dangers, but overall they are not serious. The quality of this cave is good, and the location is excellent. The soil where the mutant beast cave is located is not soft gravel, but extremely sticky soil, which is not easy to collapse.
But that wasn't the only problem. Firewood was quickly running out.
It is already cold in the forest, not to mention this rainy weather. The moist cold wind is constantly blowing from the cave. If there is no fire, many people will not be able to bear it at all. And I haven't eaten much for the whole day, and my stomach is so hungry that my chest is touching my back.
Lin Xiaoji went out once, but brought nothing back. Even the insects hid somewhere in the woods on a heavy rain day. With his ability to survive in the wild, it was obviously difficult to find its hiding place. matter.
Luo Yuan did not move. After all, he was not a nanny. He could not do everything. There was not much danger outside now, and it was the time to train them.
Seeing that Luo Yuan had no intention of going out, several men went out to look for food one after another. The ground near the cave was turned over. It was not until noon that a few people were lucky enough to dig up a pile of insect eggs the size of eggs.
When several women looked at the eggs, they seemed to think of maggots again, and their faces turned pale. Cao Lin and Huang Jiahui endured their nausea, washed the eggs, put them in a stone pot, and cooked them. As the water temperature continues to rise, some eggs even begin to hatch, but are quickly killed by the higher and higher temperatures.
But in the apocalypse, people's endurance is not what it used to be. Although they felt disgusting, everyone still insisted on eating it. Even Master Wang was no exception. In fact, it wasn't until he took it into his mouth that he realized that this kind of food was not difficult to eat. Most of the eggs are protein, and due to the mutated organisms, the meat is tough and extremely chewy.
There was also very little food this time, but I was no longer as hungry as before.
Luo Yuan played with the bark of the Tianzhu tree in his hand, feeling a little hesitant in his heart. No matter how it mutates, bark is composed of plant fibers, which determines that it has more than enough toughness but not enough rigidity. It is obviously not a very good material for weapons that require extreme sharpness. Its best use is defense.
But it's a pity that it can't be combined into the Zhanma Dao.
This is the first time Luo Yuan has come into contact with such high-grade materials, and it is very likely that he will not be able to come across them for a long time.
Moreover, the sword's sharpness is becoming increasingly insufficient. Even when facing dark blue-level creatures, it is somewhat stretched. Every attack consumes a lot of will, let alone encountering more powerful creatures.
When the tree bark is synthesized into a Zhanma Dao, the sharpness may not be improved much in the end, but it will at least be stronger than the Dark Blue-level Zanma Dao.
In the final analysis, it is a choice between defense and offense!
Luo Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to combine it into the sword.
No matter how strong the defense of thin clothes is, it will not have much effect when attacked by mutant beasts. On the contrary, once the attack power is strong, it will have an immediate effect.
"The bark of the Tianzhu tree"
"Rarity: Green."
"Weight: 21kg."
"Additional ability: energy absorption;"
"Evaluation: The Tianzhu tree is a magical creature that can absorb any energy, including life. Even in the harshest environment, it can grow quickly, and its epidermis is tough and has extremely strong defense. And it can absorb a certain amount of energy and is a high-strength defensive material.”
Luo Yuan appraised it again, and then put the bark on the sword under the watchful eyes of everyone.
It is no longer a secret that he can synthesize materials from mutated creatures into weapons and clothes. Even if he saw it, he would think that Luo Yuan was a special evolver. There was no need to keep it a secret.
Luo Yuan silently recited the synthesis, and then, the dark bark color gradually became lighter.
The synthesis time this time was far longer than any before. Luo Yuan stared at the Zhanma sword with a serious face. The dark blue on its surface slowly faded, and a layer of fine dark blue powder emerged on the blade. The whole sword exuded a terrifying... high temperature.
When the mud comes into contact with the blade, sizzling steam comes out!
Everyone watched this magical scene without blinking, with a look of disbelief on their faces, but no one dared to speak at this time for fear of disturbing Luo Yuan's use of his evolutionary abilities, so the surroundings seemed extremely quiet.
The whole process lasted for half an hour. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, the bark of the pillar tree turned into ashes. Luo Yuan gently blew away the dark blue powder on the knife, revealing a black horse-killing knife.
This black color seemed to be able to absorb light. Even the firelight dimmed slightly on the ground where the knife was, giving people an unusually mysterious feeling.
Luo Yuan took the Zhanma Dao and found that the knife was much heavier, almost three times heavier, but it was still barely enough for his thirteen points of strength. He held the knife with both hands and struck the air several times quickly. .
The air was cut at high speed, making a slight squeaking sound.
Because the movement was so fast, no one could see clearly whether his hand had moved, let alone the knife. However, they had long been accustomed to Luo Yuan, so they felt nothing at all.
Luo Yuan stopped moving, a trace of nervousness flashed across his face. He took a deep breath and used an identification technique on the Zhanma Sword.
"The sword that harvests life."
"Material: 165cm alloy, Tianzhu tree bark"
"Rarity: Green."
"Weight: 15kg."
"Attack power: 30-34"
"Additional effect 1: Attack speed +1
"Side Effect 2: Life sucking (passive), absorbs a certain amount of life active energy from the attacker and denies it to the holder."
"Equipment requirements: Strength 14 points"
"Evaluation: This is a life-harvesting sword. While killing enemies, it can also bring you a steady stream of life vitality."
There was a hint of joy on Luo Yuan's face. He had indeed made the right bet this time. The attack power of the Zhan Saber was not increased much, only by five points. Judging from the previous upgrade pattern of the Zhan Saber, it was probably light green in appearance, and it was similar to its previous upgrade pattern. The green level itself doesn't match at all.
However, Luo Yuan had already been mentally prepared, and the attack power could be increased so much, which exceeded his psychological expectations.
Of course, what pleased him the most was not this. The useless freezing effect disappeared and was replaced by life sucking. If it had a literal effect, this would be a heaven-defying ability. In this case, it seems that he would no longer have to worry about being injured in the future. , as long as there are still enemies, he can get a steady stream of recovery.
It's a pity that there are no mutant beasts outside now. Otherwise, we can try to see if its ability is really as shown in the identification technique.
Luo Yuan played with it a lot before reluctantly inserting the knife into the scabbard.
