Xu Xin sat on the tree, looking anxiously at the herd of wild boars below.
He had no means of long-range attack and could not cause any harm to the pigs below unless he jumped down and fought hard. But fighting hard among a group of pigs that weighed an average of 200 kilograms was simply a sign of exhaustion.
Holding the tree trunk, Xu Xin could clearly hear the banging sounds and the sound of something digging in the soil and gnawing at the tree roots.
"It shouldn't be that serious. The trunk of the tree is almost half a meter thick. It won't be broken, right?"
Fortunately, the wild boars did not have much patience. The herd only persisted for about half an hour before some of them began to leave.
Soon, more and more black-haired wild boars joined the leaving group, and there was only one wild boar left under the tree where Xu Xin was, digging for the tree persistently.
I took a look at the roots of the tree. The soil had been pushed up and the roots were exposed. If the pigs continued to persist, they might really break the tree.
Xu Xin looked at the black pig under his nose and took out a stone spear from his backpack.
"Brother Pig, since you didn't want to leave, then stay with me!"
He looked around and the other wild boars were nowhere to be seen.
Just like the first time he hunted a black bear, Xu Xin gripped the stone spear tightly, aimed at the back of the wild boar that was butting its head against the tree, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped down from the tree!
"laugh!"
As expected, the sharp stone spear pierced the back of the black-haired wild boar's head. The pig didn't even have time to scream before it fell to the ground, its body trembling.
Coco jumped onto the black pig and started hitting it with its little paws.
Pulling out the stone spear, Xu Xin carefully stabbed the pig's head a few more times. He didn't take out the boning knife until the pig was completely motionless.
Get complete wild boar skin (green) * 1, wild boar meat (green) * 160kg, wild boar tendon (green) * 1, wild boar bone (green) * 1
Another animal tendon!
A crossbow requires one animal tendon, and a tree house heavy crossbow requires two animal tendons. As long as Xu Xin kills one more animal, he can make both the crossbow and the automatic heavy crossbow!
It's just that this pork... is a bit too much. The two together weigh a total of 340kg, and it weighs nearly 70kg in the backpack. Even though his body has been strengthened several times, this weight will affect his movements.
Although pork is not an important commodity, it is impossible for Xu Xin to give up the meat.
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that there was a trading function on his watch. He tried to put the pig's meat on the trading platform, marking that it would only be exchanged for basic resources of green level and above.
But the trading platform is not responsible for storing the supplies until the transaction is confirmed, so the pork remains on the ground.
Xu Xin sent a message to the explorer group: "Does anyone want wild boar meat?"
There was an immediate response in the group. After all, everyone has a watch and can communicate anytime and anywhere.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Wild boar meat? Did the boss go out hunting?"
Xu Xin: "Yes, I just killed one. Anyone want one?"
Wang Lei: "Boss, you have pork? I want it, I want it! What's sold on the trading platform now are all corpses that have been gnawed by wild beasts. I really don't want to eat them! Since it was killed by the boss, I want it! I'll exchange it with green resources!"
Xu Xin: "There are more than 600 kilograms of pork in total. Do you want all of it?"
Wang Lei: "... Boss, I'll eat you to death."
Xu Xin suddenly thought that even if he traded everything, he wouldn't be able to fit all the basic supplies he got back.
Xu Xin thought for a moment, followed the private message list to find Ji Chaoyang, and sent him a private message: "Are you near the tree house?"
Ji Chaoyang replied after a while: "No, I'm out hunting too. I saw what you said in the group. You probably have too much meat to carry away. It's really convenient to be able to trade directly."
It seems that the opponent is in a similar situation as him. Fortunately, he still has a way to trade on the spot, but he really can't take it away.
Xu Xin replied: "That's fine, just go and do your thing."
"Um."
He sent another private message to Li Wenxi: "Are you near the tree house?"
Li Wenxi immediately replied: "Yes, do you want me to buy pork?" It seems that she saw what Xu Xin said in the group.
That's easy in the tree house.
Xu Xin: "I will trade the pork to you. You can keep it with me and return it to me when I come back. I will give you one tenth of it. How about that?"
Li Wenxi was silent for a moment, then replied: "Can you trade right here?"
Xu Xin thought it was not an important matter, and Ji Chaoyang knew about it anyway, so he said, "Yes, my watch is of purple quality and can be traded."
"That's great!" The other side was obviously envious. "Okay, give me one tenth of it, wait a minute, I'm planting trees under the tree house!"
Xu Xin was not worried that this rich woman would steal his pork, because the minerals in her hands were much more valuable than pork.
"This purple quality watch is so useful. Using this method, I can directly transfer materials!" Xu Xin was very satisfied with the method he thought of. Now he is the only one in the world who can use this method, and he must have a trustworthy person to transfer the materials.
After completing the transaction with Li Wenxi, Xu Xin suddenly felt relieved.
Wang Lei was still asking in the group.
"Boss, where are the people?"
"Boss, are you still selling pork?"
"Boss, sell me ten kilograms!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Okay, the boss obviously doesn't want to pay attention to you."
Wang Lei: "Wow, wow, wow, I want to eat pork."
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing and replied in the group: "Let's talk about it when I get home tonight."
Wang Lei: "Okay, boss!"
Xu Xin: "You don't have to call me boss, just call me Xu Xin."
Wang Lei: "Okay, Boss Xu Xin!"
Turning off the small screen of his watch, Xu Xin looked toward the mine and his heart beat faster.
Is it a salt mine
He walked into the cave and saw white crystals all over the ground.
He took out a boning knife and pried up a piece of white crystal from the ground.
Salt crystals: Crystals rich in salt, which can be extracted to obtain edible salt.
"Beautiful!" Xu Xin was excited. He finally found the salt. His mouth was so tasteless that he wanted to lie down and lick it like a wild boar.
This salt mine is a good thing. Although there is no shortage of food in the jungle, the human body must replenish salt, which is an essential resource that all survivors lack! Someone will definitely use important resources to exchange for it.
Xu Xin felt like he was about to become a salt smuggler.
"That's it. How do we extract it? Distill it? I don't know if the synthesis table can make tools to extract salt. Forget it, let's take it back first."
Xu Xin took out the stone draft and started mining the salt mine.
There was a lot of salt in the cave, and it was impossible to mine it all. Xu Xin mined about 20 kilograms of salt and then stopped.
Anyway, the salt mine won't run away, so let's bring it back and try it out. When we have a mount in the future, this distance will be nothing.
Coming out of the salt mine, Xu Xin looked towards the inside of the hill again. The red dots on the map were still densely packed. He decided to climb up a small hill without any red dots to see the situation first. After all, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.
"Let's go, Coco, and go hiking."
Choosing a small hill over a hundred meters high, Xu Xin began to climb up along the half slope of the hill covered with bushes and trees, while Coco jumped directly onto Xu Xin's shoulders.
"You little lazy bastard."
"Hmm~" Coco changed her posture. The hard iron sheet on Xu Xin's shoulder made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Soon, Xu Xin climbed to the top of the hill and looked towards the other side.
"Huh?"
I saw that there were indeed a lot of wild beasts on the other side of the hills. This area was like a basin surrounded by a circular mountain range. There was a very flat area in the middle and a small lake in the center. Various birds and beasts appeared from time to time.
Moreover, this area was actually emitting green light everywhere, dotted with blue.
"A new resource area!" Xu Xin's eyes lit up, "And it looks like the entire resource area is within the protection range of the tree house!"
"Wait, what is that?"
Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. There was an area emitting a more conspicuous blue light.
There were several relatively sturdy and tall trees in front of the blue light. Even though Xu Xin was standing a hundred meters high, he still couldn't see clearly what they were. He only saw several tall stone pillars exposed over there. There was a stone statue on the top of each stone pillar.
The statue seemed to be carved of some kind of animal, but it was too far away for Xu Xin to see clearly.
"Is that some special building?" Xu Xin felt a little itchy. After all, he had only seen this kind of conspicuous light in the black bear cave and his own tree house. The black bear cave had a green light, while the tree house had a purple light.
It must be a special place.
"The tree house of other survivors?" Xu Xin guessed and denied it randomly, "It's impossible. There are wild beasts all around here, and it's obviously a stone building."
Why don’t you go and take a look
