C15 Go out and Run to a New Map.
Finally, he had some leftover food. He had to keep it well. He had to guard against the seabirds in the sky and the rats below. It was really worrying!
Xia Qingfeng happily carried the javelin and walked towards the beach.
He wanted to continue fishing, drying fish, and drying salt.
He carried out the rest of the work in an orderly manner.
When the sky turned dark again, he had already harvested his first sea salt on the table-sized rock in the salt-drying field.
He used a military dagger to cut off the inner pocket of his clothes and made a small cloth bag. He poured the white salt into it. Xia Qingfeng estimated that the salt he had harvested this time was less than 100 grams. He remembered that the iodine salt he bought from the supermarket was 500 grams in a bag. The small cloth bag in his hand was about 1/500th of the iodine salt in the supermarket.
He tied the small cloth bag that contained the sea salt tightly and carefully put it into his jeans pocket.
Since he had harvested the salt, he had to continue drying it. He filled the grooves on the rock with the brine water from the coconut shell. He counted the time. It was impossible to harvest sea salt tomorrow. It would be at least the morning of the day after tomorrow. And he had to fill the grooves with brine water three to four times in between.
However, he did not want to wait any longer. He wanted to leave tomorrow to look for a new map. While thinking about this, he returned to the temporary shelter between the two giant rocks.
After eating four sea cucumbers in the morning, he had not eaten anything else. When the sky turned dark, he was also hungry, but he did not eat the roasted fish. Instead, he brought a fresh fish that he had just harvested in the afternoon.
He used a military dagger to cut open the fresh fish in the middle and placed it on the stone slab. He added two branches to the fire below the stone slab to light it up and started to roast it.
This time, he had sea salt. Every time he flipped the fish, he would pinch a small handful of sea salt and sprinkle it on it.
Soon, he was done. When he used the military dagger to cut off a piece of roasted fish and put it in his mouth, the fragrance of the fish filled his mouth. With the sea salt, he finally had a soul and it was perfect.
The sense of happiness slowly increased by one.
The next morning, Xia Qingfeng was woken up by the sound of the wings flapping.
Eat a loss to learn from it.
He had already suffered a loss once, so this time, he had sunned the fresh fish he had harvested yesterday to the top of two huge rocks. This way, when he slept in the middle of the two huge rocks, he could wake up in time to protect his dried fish.
He grabbed the javelin and jumped out of the temporary shelter. As expected, there were already two seagulls on top of the huge rocks. He began to eat his dried fish.
Xia Qingfeng was overjoyed and shouted, "The gift of nature is here again. You ingredients, quickly come to the bowl."
Although he was waving the javelin this time, he only managed to hit one of the seagulls. The other one flew away. One was not bad. Xia Qingfeng was not greedy and flipped the dried fish on the huge rock.
Although he only got one seabird this time, he killed it the moment it landed on the ground. The dried fish didn't suffer any losses! It was a win in the end.
He added more firewood to the fire and started to make another seabird. Then, he searched around the boulder and picked up the lightest fish. This fish also contained a large amount of water, so he put it on the stone and roasted it.
The dried fish was just food for Xia Qingfeng. In terms of taste, the fresh fish was obviously better.
Soon, the roasted fish on the stone slab and the seabird under the sea were cooked. He didn't touch the seabird, but only ate half of the roasted fish.
He wrapped the remaining half of the roasted fish and seabird in his clothes and tied them up behind his back.
He really wanted to go out and explore the new map. This was his lunch. He thought that he could walk a bit further away first. If he couldn't find freshwater, he would come back in the afternoon.
His goal was to find freshwater first and then build a safe house. After all, he desperately needed freshwater.
There were not many coconuts left on the coconut tree, and the new coconuts could not catch up with the speed at which he ate them.
Before he left, he naturally didn't forget to store the dried fish on the boulder.
Xia Qingfeng stood in the forest of rocks and looked around.
He had been planning to explore the depths of the deserted island, but now that he was really going to go, he didn't know where he should go.
Right now, his back was facing the east, facing the raging ocean. The south was the coconut grove, and the west was the rocky ridge, while the north was the dense forest.
This way, he had three directions in front of him, which meant that he had to choose between the road, the middle path, and the bottom path. According to Xia Qingfeng's habit, he would naturally choose the middle path to clear the monsters.
"Bah, bah!" Xia Qingfeng quickly stopped himself from thinking too much about it. He was now on a deserted island, not King of Pesticide. What middle path? Going from the south to the north.
Xia Qingfeng strode towards the coconut grove. He was already very familiar with this place. After passing through the coconut grove, he continued to walk forward without stopping.
If he went any further, he would be in a completely unfamiliar map. A few hundred meters away from the coconut grove was a hill.
It was covered with exposed rocks, and there were very few plants. A few malnourished trees grew in the cracks of the rocks, and there were also clumps of thorny shrubs, making it look especially desolate.
He climbed up the hill. Since he was looking for fresh water, he naturally needed to find a place that was high up in the sky to observe.
After all, he had already strengthened all his attributes, so his physical fitness was much stronger than ordinary people. Even if he was a well-trained special forces soldier, he would still be a bit stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical fitness.
Therefore, Xia Qingfeng only used less than an hour to climb up the hill that was nearly a thousand meters high.
There was no road on the hill, nor was it possible to climb up and down. If he encountered a huge rock, he would have to take a detour.
When he finally stood at the top of the hill, he turned around and looked back. He was shocked by the magnificent scene in front of him.
It turned out that this deserted island was even bigger than he had imagined. There was a boundless forest, and the strange rocks on the mountain range rose and fell layer by layer. One could not see the end of it at first glance.
He could only vaguely see the glistening horizon in the distance.
This was indeed a deserted island.
He looked down from above and could see the seawater surrounding it from afar. However, he could not see the entire island clearly. Many of them were hidden behind the mountains and the dense forest.
He used his eyes that had been strengthened to observe carefully, but he still did not see any rivers, streams, or waterfalls that had water.
It did not mean that he could not see it with his eyes. Perhaps the water was hidden under the dense forest. Xia Qingfeng did not give up hope. The island was so big, and it had such a vast forest. It was impossible for it to not have any water reserves.
However, when he turned around and looked in the direction he was going, his expression changed, and he sighed in his heart. There was still a low stone ridge in front of him.
There were strange rocks everywhere.
Around 1000 meters away was a deep fault. One could faintly hear the sound of waves hitting the huge rocks. Looking at the deep fault, it blocked his way forward. One head was connected to the coast, and the other head was winding westward, unknown how deep it was.
Xia Qingfeng was not willing to give up. After nearly half an hour, he ran from the hillside to the edge of the fault. Looking down, the vertical difference was more than 500 to 600 meters. With his current physical fitness, he could not go down. And it was meaningless to go down. There were huge strange rocks underground.
He ran westward along the fault. After walking for seven or eight kilometers, he reached the end. In front of him was a cliff that reached into the clouds, blocking his way. It seemed that this road had reached its end. Xia Qingfeng looked around helplessly and could only return the way he came.
When Xia Qingfeng returned to the coconut trees, he looked at his watch. It was already 14-27 in the afternoon.
He looked at the two huge rocks from afar and saw that nothing had changed. He directly ran to the coast with the javelin in hand.
On the way back, he had already eaten half of the roasted fish and the sea cucumber.
He was not hungry now. Since he failed the first time, he would continue to fish in the afternoon. Before he went to the beach, he ran to the huge rock at the salt base and replenished the brine in the coconut shell into the nest on the rock.
He then ran into the woods and chopped a tree, dragged it back, and threw it to the fire to dry it. He then placed the tree that was almost burnt to a crisp on the fire.
He hadn’t been able to control the fire for the whole morning, and only a few pieces of charcoal were left. He could only guarantee that the fire would burn for 24 hours. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to use a beer bottle as a fire starter.
Although it was his first time running the map, his luck wasn’t good, and he failed.
However, he was surprisingly lucky in the afternoon, and he managed to catch almost every fish. In just a short afternoon, he managed to catch six big and small fish. None of the fish was over 20 pounds. For him, 20 pounds of fish was a forbidden area, and he couldn’t go past it.
The six fish weighed nearly 100 pounds. He dried all the fish and put them on top of two giant rocks, and then he put away the dried fish that were almost burnt to a crisp.
Then, he ran to the sea salt base to replenish the salted water. After thinking about it, he decided that the tree branches were enough to burn at night, so he ran back directly.
When he was drying the fish, he deliberately left a fresh fish that weighed more than ten pounds as his dinner. He cut open the fish and dug out its internal organs with a military dagger, then threw it directly into the fire to burn it.
He knew a little about the wilderness. If the internal organs were thrown out, the smell of blood would attract other wild animals. So when he cut open the fish and dried it, he threw the internal organs into the fire and burned them to ashes.
This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to keep the fire burning for 24 hours.
