A glass of turbid wine can lead to a home thousands of miles away, but Yan Ran has no plan to return home.

…
After the giant gorilla was surrendered, it was dawn and the Lone Eagle team regrouped. All the scouts thanked Bai Fu one by one, and Bai Fu hurriedly humbly returned the gift.
After this battle, everyone was grateful to Bai Fu. Although they still disapproved of Mr. Bai Fu's style of living and his daily attention to detail, their impression of Bai Fu had been greatly changed, and their rejection gradually dissipated.
Especially the scholar and the lynx. Bai Fu risked his life to save each other, and this friendship is even more precious. They never thanked each other for their kindness. Although the two of them were not too polite, they kept their life-saving grace in their hearts.
Iron Hammer saw it in his eyes and felt happy: "Haha, I knew there would be such a day. The lone eagle flies into the clouds and flaps its wings."
…
The lone wolf who was usually silent also spoke up and said: "Xiao Bailong, it is very difficult to defeat the giant gorilla. How can you subdue it?"
Bai Fu frowned and said: "Savage Valley and Qingcheng Mountain are thousands of miles apart, but this giant gorilla seems to have some connection with Qingcheng Mountain's Netherworld Valley.
During the fight, I discovered that this giant gorilla actually had the mark of the demon-control talisman of our Qingcheng lineage on its body.
So, I tried to use Qingcheng's magic spell to subdue demons and demons to communicate with him, and it really worked.
This action confirms my guess that the reason why this giant gorilla hijacked hundreds of beasts and attacked us is because it was controlled by the people behind it."
Tie Chui said: "Can you find out who is in charge?"
Bai Fu shook his head and said sadly: "This method of exorcising demons is a secret that is not taught in our sect. It is only mastered by the headmaster and a few elders. The Qingcheng elders who know this method are already at Jianmen Pass.
Killed in battle.
With the help of treasures, I can only communicate with the monsters simply. There is still a long way to go before I can control the monsters."
…
After the giant gorilla attacked, the camp was severely damaged. Everyone collected as many usable items as possible from the ruins, packed their bags, and moved on.
Since the food and baggage they carried were almost completely destroyed, finding water and supplies became the top priority of the Lone Eagle team in the next few days.
To survive in the wild, fire, water and salt are the three most indispensable supplies.
Fire is easy to handle, everyone carries a fire sickle with them, but water and salt need to be collected again.
The first thing the team did was to find a clean water source.
The Savage Valley is rich in water and grass, and there are many fish swimming in many lakes. However, Iron Hammer took it with his hand, smelled the smell of the lake water, and said: "There are too many waterworm eggs in this water. Once you drink it, you will be dead for several hours."
Afterwards, the diarrhea will not stop and diseases such as dysentery will develop.”
There are also many streams that look very clear, but after the stream water here is heated, white floc sediment often appears, and you cannot drink it for a long time.
There was another water source with good smell and color, but Tie Hammer did not dare to be careless at all. He took out a piece of white rice paper and dropped water on it. After drying the rice paper, he observed that there were stains on it. Tie Hammer shook his head and said: "
This water has many impurities and is of poor quality, so it is still not drinkable.”
After struggling for two hours, I finally found a clean water source.
Pour water into the silver basin with an iron hammer, put in the mashed elm bark, kapok branches and leaves and other plants, stir well in the water and let it settle for half an hour. Gently scoop up the upper layer of water, then pour it into the iron pot and boil. The water is cool.
Finally, the water bags were filled. After all the water bags carried by the Lone Eagle team were filled, Iron Hammer set off.
In the next few days, before dawn every day, Iron Hammer would get up to collect dew. He would spread the bamboo tube under banana leaves, grass and other leaves, and shake the leaves, and the dew would fall drop by drop. Accumulating a little will make a lot, which can solve the problem of dew every day.
Everyone is thirsty.
During the march that day, there was a heavy rain, and everyone took shelter in a cave under the cliff to take shelter from the rain. Hammer and Camel put all the pots and jars in the rain, and asked everyone for helmets to collect the rainwater.
Everyone couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Ban Chui, we have enough water. Come in and take shelter from the rain."
Tie Hammer and Luo Tuo'er ran in with a smile on their faces, both of them soaked to the bone. Xiucai handed Tie Hammer a piece of dry cloth and asked Tie Hammer to wipe his hair.
The hammer was about to wipe, and after looking at the material of the cloth, he rushed out into the rain, wrapped the cloth around a leaning tree trunk, and then let one end of the cloth hang down into a copper can that collected water.
…
Bai Fu looked at Tie Hammer who was busy coming and going in the rain, and remembered the questions he had when he first joined the Lone Eagle Squadron: Scouts are often unruly people in the army. Tie Hammer does not have peerless martial arts, so why can he control it?
Groups of talented people?
At this moment, Bai Fu seemed to have found the answer.
…
With water guaranteed, salt is also needed.
In addition to seasoning for cooking and satisfying the needs of the body, salt has many functions in the wild:
When marching and camping in the wild, you will inevitably be bitten by mosquitoes. Applying salt water to the affected area can effectively alleviate the symptoms; if you are attracted by leeches, just put a little salt on the leech, and the leech will soon fall off and turn into blood; long distances in the wild
When hiking, your legs and feet tend to swell. Soaking your feet in hot salt water can effectively relieve swelling...
Every time a prey is captured, Iron Hammer bleeds it himself, allowing the scouts to replenish salt and nutrients from the blood of the prey.
Large herbivores regularly come to the salt mines to lick their food and replenish their salt content.
The hammer let the lynx track goats and other prey. In a cave, the lynx found the goat licking the ground and rocks, and finally found rock salt and obtained enough table salt.
…
In this way, under the careful care of Iron Hammer, the lone eagle scouts ate wild vegetables, wild fruits, roasted prey, and drank rain and dew... After several days of rapid march, no one suffered from abdominal pain or diarrhea. Not only did they not get sick, but they were all lively and energetic.
Yiyi. Even in inaccessible primitive forests like Savage Valley, we can survive safely without any danger.
Bai Fufang knew that what the scholar said was true, so he followed the hammer squad and marched in the wild like an outing to enjoy flowers or hunting after autumn. It was so happy.
…
The weather was fine that day, and Eagle Eye released its falcon. Haidongqing hovered in the sky for a long time, constantly changing its flight posture.
Eagle Eye said: "On the cliff thirty miles ahead, we found Eagle Fort. Outside the fort, there are about ten sentries patrolling and guarding."
Below the Eagle Fort, there are ten large tents, with grain and grass piled outside the tents, dozens of carts, and hundreds of mules and horses..."
Lynx asked curiously: "The location of Eagle Castle should still be in the primeval forest. How come there are so many people and horses?"
Eagle Eye imitated Hai Dongqing's cry and let out an eagle cry. He saw Hai Dongqing flying northward, and only returned after a stick of incense.
After looking at it, Eagle Eye frowned and said, "Falcon Qingyu said that in the middle of the forest ahead, all the trees were leveled and a road was built, which can pass large groups of vehicles and horses."
Lynx'er wondered: "Half a year ago, I was scouting the enemy's situation at Eagle Fort, but I had never seen this road before.
The Savage Valley has existed for thousands of years. It is not easy to open a road through the mountains and build a bridge over the water. I don’t know how the rebels did it in a short time."
The scholar pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Bailong said that the giant apes attacked us because someone was behind it. Since this person can control the giant apes to attack us, he can naturally control the giant apes to move mountains and build bridges across water.
Let me tell you, it was with the help of the giant apes that the rebels were able to quickly open a road in the Savage Valley.
But against all odds, I never expected that Little White Dragon would have such a method, not only defeating the giant gorilla, but also subduing it.
Otherwise, once the rebels break through the terrain restrictions of Savage Valley, they will be able to reach Luoyang and march to the city gates, reenacting the scene of Cao Wei and Deng Ai's raid on Chengdu."
The scholar's words struck a chord, and everyone believed them deeply.
Tie Chui said: "Xiucai, what's the plan?"
The scholar said: "If my conjecture is correct, the opponent will no longer be able to use the giant apes to open up roads and will withdraw their troops soon.
At that time, we can sneak attack Eagle Fort, leave survivors alive, and then disguise ourselves as rebel sentries and garrison Eagle Fort.
Eagle Fort is the only way for the rebels to go south. Even if the surprise attack on Savage Valley fails, the rebels will still pass by Eagle Fort.
In this way, once the rebels move south, we can rush out behind the rebels, disguised as a large group of troops, to catch the rebels off guard and sharpen their spirit.
Once the rebels send a large number of troops to turn around and strangle us, we will hide in Savage Valley to avoid the pursuit of the rebel army."
Everyone nodded.
Iron Hammer finally made the decision and said: "What the scholar said is true. Let's take a short rest and plan to capture Eagle Fort. Once the rebel brigade leaves Savage Valley, we will launch a surprise attack and capture Eagle Fort!"
