C16 Wild Pepper
Furthermore, the fireplace was in front of his temporary shelter. Not only did it provide him with warmth during the night, it could also protect him from the attacks of the wild beasts at night. He could sleep soundly for the next two nights, and the fireplace was a great help to him.
After eating and drinking his fill, Xia Qingfeng sat by the fireplace and faced another serious choice. He had killed six fish this afternoon, and his vitality had reached 169.4, and his soul force had reached 33.9.
Since his vitality had reached 100, he could strengthen his attributes again. He obviously would not keep it. He was not sure which of the four attributes he should strengthen.
He felt that one of them seemed to be very important. Choosing one that he needed the most at the moment was really a headache. In the end, Xia Qingfeng gritted his teeth and gave the chance to strengthen his muscles. The more strength he had, the more food he could bring out to find a suitable place to build a safe house.
Furthermore, the increase in strength could also give Xia Qingfeng some confidence, making him feel that he was a strong person on this deserted island.
The feeling of having tens of thousands of steel needles prick his skin when he strengthened his muscles again was extremely strong. Although it was only a few seconds, Xia Qingfeng was still sweating profusely.
Although he had already experienced several times of strengthening, he still could not adapt to this intense pain.
Although the process of strengthening his muscles was painful, the benefits were obvious.
Previously, Xia Qingfeng could easily lift a weight of more than 100 kilograms. This time, he deliberately found a rock to test his strength before strengthening. This rock was at least 150 kilograms according to his estimation. He could only shake the rock, and he couldn't lift it with his hands.
After strengthening, he tried it again, and he could actually lift a 150-kilogram boulder above his head. This was a proof of his strength. He felt that if he had a javelin now, he could challenge a big fish that weighed more than 20 kilograms.
His soul force had reached 33.9. He didn't plan to use it. In his heart, he still attached great importance to the soul magnetic field. Although he didn't use it today, it was because he had been walking in the wilderness all the way. The boulder was extremely desolate, and there were no animals attacking it.
If he wanted to explore the dense forest, this soul magnetic field would definitely need to be used frequently. So he set a warning line in his heart. He wanted to keep his soul force above 30. If his soul force didn't reach 130, he wouldn't strengthen his soul.
Now that Xia Qingfeng had strengthened a bit of his muscles, his attributes had changed.
Muscle Strengthening speed: 7
Sensory Enhancement speed: 5 (It means that you can see farther, see more clearly, hear more clearly, and sense more clearly. Enhance your senses and discover some things that might be useful for you, so that you can survive better. Of course, it doesn't only apply to the desert island, but also the outside world.
Inner circulation, Strengthening speed: 7 (represents health, endurance, endurance, and negative resistance. It can allow you to work longer, carry more weight, and be able to disdain the plague. However, it is still not easy to detect. Only when you work for a long time, in the storm, and in front of diseases, can you feel the value of physical strength.
Cell activity strengthening speed: 6 (It makes you healthier, the coordination of your body is better, you can run faster, jump higher, and you can compete with antelope and wild deer.
Soul, E. (Soul, divided into S, ABC, D, E, +, -, +, -, +, -, -, +, +, +, +, +, -, +, +, +, -, -, +, -, +, +, -, +, -, *, +, *, +, *, *, *, +, *, *, +, *, +, +, *, *, *, *, *, +, +, +, *, *, +, +, *, +, +, +, + *, *, *, *, * *, * *, * *, *, * *, * * *, * * *, * *, * * * *, * * *, *, * * *, * * * * *, * * * * * * * * * *
Soul Antenna, Soul Development: E. After the soul development reaches E, you can master it. The effect of every increase in soul development is doubled. After activating, within three minutes, with your body as the origin point, a secondary soul force field will form within a radius of ten meters. It can sense most of the danger and lock onto most of the attacks. Every time it consumes 10 soul force.
Host's strength evaluation, your insignificance makes me disdain you. In the vast universe, any single grain of dust is tens of millions of times stronger than you.
Closing the system screen, Xia Qingfeng looked around and realized that he had nothing to do. The entire rock forest was pitch black. Although he had already strengthened his senses and could vaguely see the ground, he did not have the guts to go out.
He hid in the back of the fire in the dark night. He could even hear the sounds of animals tearing and biting each other from afar. There were also some unknown birds screeching in the sky, and there were even more shadows in the distance like ghosts.
The deserted island was quiet during the day, but at night, these animals were very active.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a few wolf howls from afar.
Wolf pack.
There was a large number of wolves in this forest.
Xia Qingfeng could easily tell that there was danger lurking in the forest from the continuous howls of the wolves. He decided to hide in the temporary shelter obediently.
The fire in front of him gave Xia Qingfeng a sense of security. Looking at the shelter made of sparse branches behind him, Xia Qingfeng felt that it was almost time to build a stable safe house.
He was scared the entire night, but he had nothing to say.
The next day, the sun had yet to reach the eastern horizon when Xia Qingfeng jumped out of the temporary shelter and started to busy himself with breakfast. His breakfast was a roasted fish.
Today, he had nowhere to hide. He wanted to explore the forest. He didn't want to wait any longer.
The seabirds might have learned to be smart after being beaten by him. Today, he woke up early and didn't even have a seabird on his boulder. Xia Qingfeng missed it a little.
After all, without the sea birds, his menu would be missing a hard dish, called the Begonia Sea Bird.
He touched the bottom of the beer bottle in his pocket. In his hand was a javelin, a military dagger, two dried fish, and two coconuts. These were Xia Qingfeng's belongings when he went out.
He put away the remaining dried fish from the boulder. These dried fish were not completely dried, and were in a half-dry state. But it would not be a problem to preserve them for one or two days.
Xia Qingfeng consciously ate the dried fish from before. As for the dried fish that had been completely dried, he kept them. He had already harvested sea salt from the salt-salt storage area. Once he was ready, he set off.
He walked down the rocky ridge to the west and arrived at the edge of the forest where he often chopped trees. He mustered up his courage and did not walk straight into the depths of the forest, but instead, he walked north along the edge.
He walked down the northwest direction. This was the edge of the forest, but he did not walk far before the terrain started to rise. The trees on both sides also started to grow denser.
As he walked, he used the military dagger to carve marks on the trees to prevent himself from getting lost. In this forest where there were towering trees, it was easy for people to get lost. In such a dense forest, getting lost would cost a person their life. This was definitely not a threat.
These trees were dozens of meters tall, and some were even more than a dozen meters tall. The leaves were dense and layered, and it was impossible to see the sun when looking up.
There was no way to determine his position with the sun. Moreover, there was no road in the forest. Xia Qingfeng was not familiar with the surrounding trees. Although he was influenced by his father and had some knowledge of survival in the wild, he really did not understand these strange trees.
There were not many wild grass on the ground, but there were layers of fallen leaves that were half a foot deep. One step on them could cover the ground.
There were some colorful mushrooms under some of the trees. Xia Qingfeng ignored them. He did not know the trees or the mushrooms, nor did he know which ones were poisonous.
Now, he did not lack food. He had two six or seven jin dried fish on his back, so there was no need to take the risk.
There were also many narrow and long purple vines. These vines were everywhere, and they gave Xia Qingfeng a lot of trouble. He could only use his military dagger to cut these vines to get through some places.
The speed of his advance was very slow.
Moreover, Xia Qingfeng's nerves were tightly taut at all times. In this kind of environment, he did not know where something would come out.
Along the way, he saw a lot of insects. He stomped on a ten centimeters long grasshopper to death, but the system did not notify him. He also picked up a bunch of weeds from the ground, but the system remained silent.
He was doing an experiment. He had tried it before when he was chopping trees. If he did not cut down the entire tree, he would not be able to obtain any life force. Now, it seemed that there was a limit to the amount of life force that he could obtain. Not everything would be given to him.
For example, the grasshopper and the weeds beside it could not provide him with any life force, let alone soul force.
However, it was reasonable.
Xia Qingfeng walked while making marks on some of the more eye-catching trees.
Suddenly, he was overjoyed. He saw a few familiar small fruits in the bushes in front of him. He ran over and pushed aside the grass. It was indeed wild pepper, which had already matured and turned black.
He gently picked one and put it in his mouth. Immediately, a numbing taste spread throughout his mouth, making him lose half of his mouth.
The wild pepper's smell was very pungent. It was a good thing. With this wild pepper and his own sea salt.
It seemed that he had been eating barbecue all this time. When could he make a stone pot and cook some fish soup? Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Xia Qingfeng plucked all the matured wild pepper from the tree and carefully put it into the sea salt bag.
He really wanted to dig out the wild pepper, but he hadn’t found a safe house yet. He could only make a mark here. He wouldn’t let him go.
He put away the wild pepper and was about to stand up when his body suddenly froze. He was in a half-squatting position, as if time had stopped. Or it was like his phone had been jammed.
