Episode 8: Giant Tree, Tree Hole!
Stream! Stream!
Wherever my eyes look and see, there is a stream about two meters wide in front of me. The water flows rapidly and makes a "swinging" sound. Occasionally, there are waves blooming, emitting crystal clear light under the sunlight, which is so dazzling!
"Very good!"
"That's great!"
After nearly a day of hard trekking, he traveled through the jungle with huge risks, and his hard work paid off. He finally found the source of water. At this moment, Jiang Bei could not hide his excitement and excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but shout.
Then, he quickly threw away the things in his hand, ran forward quickly, and came to the stream. Looking at the clear stream water, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. After sweating for a day, his body had begun to become dehydrated, and even his saliva became dry. He was eager to drink water.
The stream looks very clear and it is also full of living water. It should be able to drink it, right?
Jiang Bei felt even more thirsty when he thought about this. At that moment, without saying a word, he squatted by the stream, picked up a handful of water and sent it to his mouth, and drank it.
Although drinking raw water in the wilderness is a very dangerous thing, because the water source in the wild is shared by all animals, the water contains a large amount of bacteria and microorganisms. If you drink it rashly, you may be infected.
but..........
After all, this situation is only compared to ordinary people. Jiangbei is different. He has the ability to swallow and greatly strengthen the digestive ability of the stomach, which is enough for him to digest all the microorganisms that he drinks into his stomach.
The sun in the sky is so fierce and the weather is so hot, but the stream is so cold. It will make you feel cool when you enter your stomach and your heart will be cool!
"Cool!"
It felt like drinking the iced Sprite in 1982. Jiangbei only felt comfortable and comfortable. In an instant, he lived and even his strength seemed to have become a little stronger.
This is not an illusion!
Before entering the main god space, he was just an ordinary person. Even after deep awakening, his potential was still limited. It is precisely because of this that when he fused the giant gene, he could only barely carry out the initial fusion. If he wanted to continue to integrate deeply, he had to intake enough nutrients first.
Where does nutrition come from?
I believe everyone should be very clear about the answer to this question. The way the human body consumes nutrition is nothing more than eating and drinking. Just like now, even if Jiangbei, who only drinks water and has the ability to swallow, can extract a certain amount of nutrition from the stream and enhance his strength.
"What a pity..."
"I don't know if it's because the stream is too clean or because the microorganisms in the water are too small, so that no genetic fragments have been obtained so far."
Jiang Bei thought about this and suddenly laughed at himself. It was a huge gain to be able to find such a abundant and clean water source, but he was still not satisfied and was greedy enough.
However, human desires are greed by nature. In a sense, greed is a good thing. At least it can give Jiangbei more motivation and allow him to continue to work hard.
"The four elements of survival in the wilderness are water, fire, food, and shelter. I used to pull out two potatoes. I have already found a stream and the water source is also very abundant. Then, I should find a suitable place nearby to start the fire. As for shelter, it is not too late to build it tomorrow."
After drinking water, he replenished the nutrients that his body lacked. At this time, Jiangbei regained his calmness again, so he knew very well what he should do next.
Although the stream is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. I know how many prehistoric creatures this stream raises. Living here is likely to be targeted by prehistoric creatures who come to drink water. If it is an ordinary small animal, it would be fine, but if it were a big guy like Tyrannosaurus Rex, then I would be tragic.
Cherish life and stay away from water!
Of course, it is not really necessary to stay away from the water source. After all, if you really stay away from the water source, it will become inconvenient to use water. Therefore, when camping in the wilderness, you must be careful: you must not be too close to the water source, nor too far away from the water source. In short, safety must be ranked first.
"Well, first walk up the stream to see if you can find a suitable camping site, and then find a way to start the fire."
He did it when he thought about it. Jiangbei was never a mother-in-law. At this moment, he found the novice wooden sticks he had thrown away and two potatoes full of fruits, and began to walk upstream along the stream.
In order to find water sources, after entering this jungle, he was walking eastward and encountered this river, flowing from south to north. Therefore, he was moving southward as he was moving upward at this time.
As he continued to move forward, the terrain became higher and higher and deeper into the jungle. Along the way, six or seven people hugged each other, and there were many trees dozens or hundreds of meters high.
Such tall trees are almost impossible to see in later generations, but in this prehistoric era, they can be seen everywhere. In the woods, except for some broad-leaved trees similar to banana trees, there are thorny thorns everywhere, and there are also some colorful flowers blooming, which look pretty, but before they can figure out their background, Jiangbei only dares to see from afar and not play with them!
It’s not because he is cowardly, but because he cherishes his life. He believes that it’s not just him. If anyone else had experienced death, he would never want to experience a second time. Even if life is very hard and difficult, as long as he can live... it’s great!
However, he had been walking like this for a while, and it was approaching dusk. Through the gaps between the leaves, the sun began to set westwards, and Jiangbei still had not found a suitable camping place, which made him feel a little anxious, but fortunately, at this moment, a tree hole appeared in his sight.
Yes, a tree hole, on a large tree trunk that has died.
Because I have never seen it, I can't call the name of the tree, but the tree is really big and thick, and at least a dozen people can hold it together. But unfortunately, it has been dead for a while, for a few years, or decades, and it has been nowhere to be found.
For some reason, such a big tree was broken around the waist about twenty meters above the ground. The upper half of the tree was lying on the ground. The leaves and tiny branches had already fallen off, leaving only half of the bare trunks, and even the bark had fallen off, standing there alone.
But even so, in Jiang Bei's eyes, this is still a giant. The tree hole he discovered was on this half of the trunk. The hole entrance was irregularly round, about two meters square, and the depth was at least 1.5 meters above 1.5 meters. The most important thing is that it was two or three meters high from the ground, so the hole looked very dry and there was no mosquito parasite. It was definitely a good place to live.
"Very good!"
Jiang Bei couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face. Although he didn't find a particularly suitable camping site, being able to find such a tree hole before the sun set solved his urgent need.
However, even though he was happy, he soon forced himself to calm down, because if he wanted to survive in the wilderness, it was not enough to just have a place to live. He also needed something else to resist the cold night and the invasion of beasts. This thing is nothing else, it is the four elements of survival in the wilderness......
