Chapter 4 This is my home
When I first entered this forest, Yunduo walked all the way to the edge of the daily collection area and went out of the safe area further forward, but Yunduo did not stop because there were basically no wild animals in the daily collection area. As for the fruits on the trees, after the persistent collection of residents in the town, the food that could be eaten could not be kept.
Yunduo comes to find food. Without food, it is death. The front may be death, but perhaps life, so Yunduo has passed the safe zone without hesitation.
That day, purely luck, Yun Duo walked about five miles of sparse forest area, and neither encountered wild beasts nor found any food. Then he saw a hive hanging on the tree on the edge of the wood area.
Honey is not enough to fill your stomach.
But the bees in the forest are the least aggressive.
The hungry clouds recorded the location of the beehive and continued on. He walked about five miles and entered a mountain pass, and finally saw the gentle slope grassland in front of him.
The wild beasts wandering on the grassland are generally those with faster running speeds. Because there are no covers here, they must be fast to capture prey. However, humans are also grassland animals, and the height of humans evolved, as well as their eyes, are more suitable for plain life.
Yun Duo immediately settled his home on the edge of the woods, and then he began to dig traps in the grass.
He spent half a year gradually moving his trap forward until he crossed the gentle slope grassland and arrived at the ridge where the tree house is currently located... In the end, he never dared to continue to push forward again. The attacks encountered in the forest will be close at hand. His advantage of surpassing wild beasts is that he is good at using tools, without being rough and thick in flesh and rapid nerve reflexes.
After all, he was a child, without the lightning movements of wild beasts, and could not cope with close attacks... so he settled on the top of the mountain.
The grasslands under the slope are full of streams. There are not many beasts on this grassland, and most of them are herbivorous animals. This 20 square kilometers of gentle slope grassland may not be enough for the hunting needs of two or three wild wolves, but it fills the stomachs of clouds - this is here, this is my home!
This place is located on the east side of Jieyang Town, about forty miles.
This place is far enough from Jieyang Town. The daily activities of the residents in the town cannot affect the life of the beasts here. It is very quiet and there is no one to disturb it. Even if Yun Duo sets out from here, he will not be able to return to the town that day. If he is on the night road, he may not be able to get his small body to the beasts.
In fact, the traps dug by Yunduo are very clumsy, and most of them have obvious "human flavor". The wise beasts are unfair to disguise these traps... But Yunduo's insidiousness is reflected here: he uses himself as bait to lure some carnivorous animals to come and challenge his trap, and his trap is an intellectual game.
Yun Duo, who is small and weak, cannot create large traps, so he can only focus on intelligence.
He combined the traps of the Filipino jungle cannibals in his memory, the traps of dealing with the US military in the Vietnamese rainforest, and the chain traps of catching wild animals in the African jungle, such as bumping into wood, live covers, piles, booms, etc., and all kinds of insidious calculations.
With his efforts, the first trap is often just a form of appearance. When the beast touches the first trap, it will immediately trigger a series of subsequent ambush. Although these subsequent ambushes will not be fatal to large beasts, they will definitely make you frightened. As for small beasts, living less ferocious beasts, entering such a series of traps will eventually turn yourself into a dish - Yun Duo's dish.
By the way, in order to make himself sleep more comfortable, Yun Duo could only pick up some dead branches and help him build some platforms with slightly larger activities among the branches. He expanded his activity area between the branches like a swallow carrying mud. After he discovered a nearby bamboo forest, the idea of building a wooden house was officially out.
The trees in the monster jungle are very tall. Trees twenty or thirty meters high are very common. Trees more than 100 meters high are also easy to find. It is said that there are taller trees in the deeper forest, but the range of movement of clouds is not large. Within its range of movement, the tallest trees are the trees at the top of the ridge, which are about twenty or thirty meters high.
The first three trees that Yunduo chose were about fifteen meters high, and there were almost no branches growing on the trunk, which ensured that the beasts on the ground could not reach the tree house by climbing side branches. Things like bamboo were very light. As long as bamboos were hung with a rope and worked hard, the small body of Yunduo could also hang them on high branches.
When there was a piece of bamboo at the bottom of his feet and the clouds expanded their range of movement, he cut some vines from nearby giant trees to build the roof. After the clouds built a rough shack, winter in the monster forest arrived.
Although it rarely snows here in winter, the temperature is still very low at night, and there are frequent frost and rain. If people living in the forest do not have cold objects, they will be very sad throughout the winter and may even be frozen to death.
The animals here also have the custom of hibernation. After hibernation, wild animals reduce their activities and it is difficult to eat and fill their stomachs by hunting alone.
But what is magical is that in winter, flowers still bloom and fall in the valley in front of clouds, and bees are still flying.
So Yun Duo had to turn his gaze to the nest of bees.
In fact, bees are not much aggressive. Yun Duo still remembers that he once said in the Science and Education Channel: Sometimes beekeepers can cut honey directly if they don’t even wear protective clothes. As long as the beekeepers move gently and have correct steps, they will not cause bees to attack.
Anyway, it was just a Yun Duo who was not afraid of death, and began to attack the bees.
Unexpectedly, his actions really opened another window for his life - this shows that the gods and Buddhas in the sky did not abandon this suffering child, and his luck came like this.
In this valley, jade ice flowers bloom in winter. Jade ice flowers are a very rare flower. In spring, summer and autumn, the appearance of jade ice flowers is almost exactly the same as that of wild grass. In winter, when the temperature drops, the branches of jade ice flowers have dried up all their leaves, but they bloomed white flowers.
White jade ice flower has no fragrance and cannot be used as medicine, but ice nectar is a very good thing. It is one of the auxiliary materials of elixirs. It is said that using jade ice nectar as a elixir adhesive can ensure that the elixir's efficacy lasts for a longer period of time.
In addition, if Jade Binghua is used as an auxiliary material for replenishing Qi Dan, it is said that it can improve the level of replenishing Qi Dan, and it is completely harmless to the human body, and there is no elixir left after taking it.
After coming to this world, Yunduo survived half a spring, and the whole autumn and summer, he had just barely reached the point of being full, but he didn't see a penny. When winter came, this batch of jade ice nectar made him see the "money" of this world for the first time.
There is a difference between the secular world and the cultivation world. The secular world uses gold, silver and copper as the three-level monetary system, and one thousand copper coins (copper plates) are exchanged for one silver dollar (worth one tael of silver), and one hundred silver dollars are exchanged for one gold coin (worth one tael of gold).
The money in the cultivation world is measured by spirit stones. Spirit stones are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The lower grade spirit stones are in the hundredth grade, while the middle grade spirit stones are in the hundredth grade, while the middle grade spirit stones and the upper grade spirit stones are in the thousandth grade. It is said that there are top grade spirit stones, but they are already rare treasures and are basically priceless.
It is difficult to buy spirit stones with money from the secular world. If you have to exchange it, a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for about 1,000 gold coins. However, often one thousand gold coins cannot buy a low-grade spirit stone, because people who hold spirit stones no longer care about secular money and they are unwilling to exchange it.
Pure jade ice nectar, it is said that one pound can be sold for five low-grade spirit stones.
Yun Duo was not aware of this at first.
But he has enough wisdom.
He got the jade ice nectar and immediately returned to the town, "indiscriminately" found an immortal master for sale - the reason he wanted to sell it to the immortal master was because according to the rules Yunduo had no right to run out of the safe area of the town, and the residents of the town must hand over all their harvests to the guardian immortal master, and the immortal master traded with the outside world.
Yunduo's family was very poor, and Yunduo himself was also poor, and there was no utensil to hold anything. At that time, the jars containing jade ice nectar were clay pots made by Yunduo himself. This jar was not even pottery, and at most it was hardened earthenware. These earthen pottery was fired by Yunduo using the open pile-up method - at that moment he felt like a primitive man.
The earthen jar is very ugly, and it contains more than three kilograms of jade ice nectar. If sold at the market, it will be worth at least nine low-grade spirit stones.
After careful consideration at that time, Yunduo found the three immortal masters who were kind-hearted and exploited the residents of the town... As a result, the immortal master Luo rewarded Yunduo with a low-grade spirit stone.
Although only one low-grade spirit stone was obtained, this low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for at least a thousand taels of gold.
More importantly, the immortal master named Luo broke the previous convention and directly handed over the money to Yun Duo instead of the head of the Yun family. Moreover, the immortal master named Luo would never give him the story of obtaining honey.
Of course, jade ice nectar is an undesirable wealth for the people, but for the immortal masters, it is a small thing with low value after all. After all, it is a troublesome to collect it yourself. Now someone can deliver it to your door, and you can leave some of it for your own use, and the rest can be resold. Such good things are delivered to your door, and as long as you are smarter, you will not spread the secret.
After this breakthrough, the road ahead of Yunduo finally opened. With money, he could buy winter cold items, buy food, and even enter Luo Xianshi's study room and occasionally browse the books in Luo Xianshi's study room. Of course, if Luo Xianshi is in good spirits occasionally, he would teach Yunduo to know a few words, and if he had free time, he could talk to Yunduo for a few words, talk about the scenes on this continent, and show off his knowledgeable knowledge, so that he could be outstanding. After all, humans are social animals and have the desire to gain recognition from others.
Master Luo was assigned to this small town in the forest. This town was to be abandoned after the beast tide. Therefore, the three guardian immortal masters in the town, although in the secular people, Qian Yaowu and powerful, they are actually abandoned sons in the fairy world.
