Because the body's depleted energy and blood had not yet recovered, Zhang Tie's biological clock automatically extended his sleep time in the past two days. Early the next morning, Zhang Tie was woken up by the dead fat man Barry. Zhang Tie opened his eyes
When I opened my eyes, I saw a hazy and slightly white sky. The last star in the east of the sky was still stubbornly hanging there. I slept with my head on the hard stone under my sleeping bag all night, and I felt a little bit uncomfortable.
pain.
Seeing that Fatty Barry and Doug were both awake, Zhang Tie quickly got out of his sleeping bag and quickly packed his luggage. It was still dark, but the animals sleeping in the square were already arriving one after another.
He continued to get better and began to face the real trial of survival.
"I just counted, more than ten groups of people have already gone down. It's the right time for us to go down!" Fatty Barry said as he packed his luggage.
"You woke up early?" Zhang Tie rolled up his sleeping bag and glanced at Barry.
"Of course, I woke up early, and then I counted how many groups of people would go down first, letting those guys explore the way, and we followed behind. It's not good to be too late or too early."
This fat guy was so cunning. Zhang Tie praised the fat guy in his heart, but being a brother with this guy was a very reassuring thing.
Zhang Tie stood up and looked at the place where Gris and several people slept in his memory yesterday. Sure enough, the four Griss had disappeared. It seemed that they had gone down the mountain early. This trial was Griss's last chance.
This guy is probably more anxious to show off than anyone else at this time.
The seven members of the Aircraft Brotherhood quickly packed their bags, and then followed the dozen or so people in front of them to leave the square outside Wild Wolf Castle. There was a gravel-paved path from the castle square up and down to the bottom of the valley.
It was more than 200 meters long and stretched around the mountain. After coming down from the path, it fell into the valley. There were two groups of people who came down with Zhang Tie and the others and parted ways with Zhang Tie and the others after they came down. From this moment on,
To a certain extent, everyone is a competitor, because the places suitable for living in the entire valley and the food available are limited. These things can only be obtained by luck and competition.
On the first day of the survival trial, for everyone, finding a suitable place to stay became the first test in the trial.
In the wild, a suitable landing place must meet three conditions. One is that it is close enough to a clean water source, the other must be safe enough, and the third is that it is convenient for everyone to obtain enough food in the future.
.
The advantage of being close to the castle is that it is safe enough. There is a clean water source near the castle, but it is difficult to obtain enough food. Therefore, in previous trials, most people chose to stay within one to seven kilometers of the castle.
Inside, there are also some people with strong self-reliance or teams with larger numbers who will go deeper into the camp.
Baghdad, who was holding an ax, opened the way in front, followed by Doug, followed by Barry and Zhang Tie, Sista and Shavin behind Zhang Tie, and Wright at the end. Everyone took out their weapons.
, walked cautiously into the valley. You can't be careful, because just after coming down from the path, Doug stepped on a pile of excrement left by an unknown beast. It looked like it was left just last night. On the road
When Ge Ge cursed, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, reminding themselves again that this is Wild Wolf Valley, not Black Flame City.
After advancing two hundred meters in the valley, Shavin discovered a water-leaf willow, so he picked a few willow branches and let everyone chew them as a mouthwash. In the wild, everything must be simple. Early in the morning, the valley
The temperature inside was relatively low, and there was still a thin layer of mist. There was some dew on the leaves and grass. After everyone walked in the valley for a while, half of their pants and clothes were already soaked.
There was an unnamed bird standing on the tree early in the morning and calling cooingly. The bird's call spread far in the valley, and there were echoes, making the valley seem more and more quiet at this moment.
Less than 500 meters into the valley, everyone encountered the first wolf they saw during this trial. The sound of Baghdad wielding his ax to clear the way alerted a wolf that was resting in the grass 20 meters away. The wolf suddenly
He stood up from the grass, looked at everyone, and quickly disappeared into the jungle before anyone could react.
This wolf made everyone involuntarily grasp the weapons in their hands.
After traveling another kilometer, Zhang Tie and the others found a small river that was more than five meters wide and the water was so clear that you could see patches of pebbles and water plants on the bottom of the river. There were a group of thin small fish swimming happily among the water plants.
Moving.
"I think we can just follow the river and go deeper into the valley. It would be great if we find a suitable place to live by the river!" Baghdad suggested.
"Okay!" Everyone agreed. So everyone followed the river and went deep into the valley bottom. After going deeper for more than a mile, they passed by an abandoned mine. There were at least dozens of people around the mine.
It is a round cave. The two groups of people in front have already prepared to choose their base in this mine. Looking at the huge caves on the cliffs and ridges, the entrance of the cave seems to be drawn out with a round circle.
Doug asked strangely, "Why are there so many strange holes on those mountain walls?"
"I heard that there used to be some gold-eating pythons that lived here in the Wild Wolf Valley. Those potholes were the holes that the gold-eating pythons made for themselves. Later, those gold-eating pythons were killed, and those holes remained..." Shavin said
.
"The cave of the gold-eating python?" Doug asked with shock on his face. Everyone looked at the round holes on the rock walls and ridges that were as small as one meter high and nearly three meters in diameter.
If the mouth of this hole basically matches the body of the gold-eating python, then how terrifying the size of the gold-eating pythons entrenched here is and how long they must be. Just thinking about this question makes people despair. Look.
Looking at those dark holes, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak.
"Of course, don't you know?" Shavin asked curiously.
"How did you know?" Wright, who looked a little pale, asked Chauvin.
"Look at the local chronicles of Black Flame City..." Shavin said matter-of-factly, "Just now when Doug asked about those holes, I remembered that the local chronicles of Black Flame City that I had read before seemed to record things about the Wild Wolf Valley.
It happened more than 30 years ago. At that time, in order to eliminate the few gold-devouring pythons that were entrenched here. The most powerful ones were said to have been burned for thousands of years. The entire Blackson Human Corridor was alarmed. After hearing the news, many experts rushed from all directions.
Later, with the cooperation of the army and many masters, the gold-eating pythons entrenched here were killed at a huge cost. Black Flame City also discovered an iron ore and iron ore in the holes made by the gold-eating pythons.
A vein of high-quality crystal mine. Over the past few decades, the crystal mine has been almost mined, and now it has little value. The iron ore here was originally mined to some extent, but after the discovery of the Grand Iron Mine,
Because the mining costs here are high and the quality of the iron ore is not as good as the Grand Iron Mine, several iron mines here have gradually been abandoned. This is why you can see so many abandoned mines in the Wild Wolf Valley, and
The number of wild wolves here only increased after the Gold-Eating Python was killed. Later, when we saw the number of wild wolves here, we named this unknown place Wild Wolf Valley..."
Who in the Airplane Brotherhood would be bored enough to read the local chronicles of Black Flame City except Chauvin? Although Chauvin was talking about something that happened more than 30 years ago, it still makes everyone feel a little scared when they hear it now.
"If those people hadn't killed all the gold-eating pythons back then and missed a small one..." Doug slapped his mouth.
With a grunt, all the animals took a gulp of saliva. Looking at those caves again, they wouldn't live there even if they were killed.
"I think we should not go too deep. If we go two kilometers further, if we don't meet the right one, we will go back and look for it..." Fatty Bally immediately said righteously.
Everyone nodded quickly, even Baghdad did not object. As long as they thought about the huge snakes and monsters that could reach hundreds of meters in length and could even eat stones, everyone felt that the Wild Wolf Valley was inexplicably eerie.
.
Finally, after nearly four hours of searching, at noon, the seven members of the Aircraft Brotherhood finally found an unexpected landing place about 5 kilometers away from the Wild Wolf Castle.
The dragon's claw tree with a diameter of more than ten meters is located next to a small bamboo forest. I don't know if it is a mutated species after the catastrophe. Anyway, the dragon's claw tree is definitely the thickest and largest dragon's claw tree that anyone has ever seen. That dragon's claw tree
The whole tree of the Claw Tree is only over 50 meters high, with a canopy like clouds, covering several acres of ground. When everyone originally found this place, they just wanted to come and take a rest, but they unexpectedly found this tangled and knotted tree.
In the middle of the giant tree, which is more than four meters high from the ground, there is a tree hole just big enough for a person to bend down and crawl into. Baghdad climbed up and saw that the space inside the tree hole is actually quite vast, and it can easily accommodate three people.
What’s even more amazing is that, looking at the look inside the tree hole, it’s clear that someone has lived there. It should have been lived by a guy who came here for a trial before. Now everyone became more interested and climbed up the tree hole one by one.
Checking on the huge Dragon Claw tree, we found another natural hollow tree hole a little more than seven meters above the ground. However, the tree hole found at the back was much smaller than the previous one, and could only
It can barely accommodate one person, and it's still a little cramped. The dragon's claw tree looks still full of vitality on the outside, but the wood in the middle of the tree is rotten and necrotic, as if there are traces of being struck by lightning. In the hole of the tree, you can't even grab it if you grab it.
Can catch a lot of sawdust.
"Why can't we transform this dragon's claw tree into a base that can accommodate seven of us?" Wright's words made everyone enthusiastic. The current tree hole seems to be able to accommodate four people.
It seemed that it wouldn't be too much trouble to renovate it, so everyone just started doing it and started taking action one by one.
The renovation plan is divided into two steps. The first step is to expand the space in the two tree holes as much as possible. Then expand the first tree hole a little more. In addition to leaving enough space for four people to lie down, there is also a space for stacking.
Where everyone has equipment and food, the second tree hole requires a larger amount of modification. As long as the second tree hole is modified to be the same size as the first tree hole, then you can sleep in the second tree hole just by squeezing in.
With three people, a base for the seven members of the Aircraft Brotherhood was initially formed.
After expanding the internal space of the two tree holes, the second step of transformation can be carried out. The second step of transformation is to open up and connect the upper and lower spaces between the two tree holes, leaving a gap between the two tree holes.
A passage and space similar to an "N" shape. In this N-shaped space, at least two or three people can sleep, so no one will feel crowded.
Everyone has learned some basic carpentry skills in school. This job does not require any beauty or sophistication, just open your arms and do it.
As soon as Baghdad's ax and Zhang Tie and Wright's multi-purpose engineering shovel were swung, sawdust flew everywhere. It only took more than two hours to complete the transformation of the first layer of tree holes.
Looking at the pieces of wood thrown from the tree hole, Barry cried out distressedly, "Ah, don't throw them away. These dried wood can be used for cooking. In the next few weeks, we will not have to worry about not having firewood."
