C4 The Fire Was Lit by Him.
Standing in front of the stone slab that he had found, Xia Qingfeng was slightly stunned. This stone slab was not small, but it was pressed under a huge rock that was as tall as a person. There was no way to pull it out.
He grabbed the stone slab with his hand and shook it. The stone slab did not move at all. He scratched his head with his hand. He had no choice but to use violence.
He looked down and picked up a stone the size of a fist and smashed it into the stone slab. The place he smashed was where the stone slab and the huge rock were connected. He wanted to smash this stone slab down.
Fortunately, this stone slab was not thick. It was about seven or eight centimeters thick. He smashed it down with all his might.
After smashing it more than ten times, the stone slab was finally smashed into pieces. Fortunately, he found the biggest one that was as big as a washbasin. It was completely enough. He picked up the stone slab and felt that it was a little heavy. It was about fifty or sixty kilograms.
If it was him normally, carrying it would not be too difficult. However, he was too tired. His body was extremely weak now, and he felt that even a stone slab that weighed about fifty or sixty kilograms would make him unable to straighten his back.
There was more than 100 meters between the two huge rocks. It was this distance that made Xia Qingfeng feel that it was so far away. When he carried the stone slab to the two huge rocks and placed it on the three stones, he immediately collapsed on the ground. He laid on the stone slab like that, feeling so tired that he was about to collapse.
He laid on the stone slab for more than ten minutes before he finally recovered. He raised his head to look at the sun in the sky. It was almost four o’clock. If he didn’t speed up, the sun would set.
The rest was simple. He picked up some dried branches from the side and placed them on the stone slab. He then found a small rock and smashed some small branches into wood fiber.
The wood fiber was as big as a fist. He then took out a glass bottle from the pocket of his jeans.
This glass bottle was the one he found by the beach. When he found it, it was a broken beer bottle. He used a rock to knock off the excess and only took the bottom. Because he knocked off the beer bottle, there was a wound on the back of his hand. The wound wasn’t very deep, only about a finger’s length. The wound stopped bleeding after a few drops of blood, but he was still worried.
Now, he had nothing. If the wound got infected, it would threaten his life.
However, he couldn’t think too much about it now. He thought that there would be a rescue tomorrow, so he wasn’t too worried.
The beer bottle was a convex lens. He raised the beer bottle in the air and adjusted the angle to focus the sunlight on the wood fiber.
The intense sunlight on the deserted island was indeed powerful. Very soon, a few wisps of white smoke began to emerge from the wooden fiber. Xia Qingfeng did not move and continued to raise the beer bottle.
The wisps of smoke grew bigger and bigger. He took the opportunity to blow on the side, not daring to be too big or too small. His entire body and mind were focused on the wisps of smoke in front of him. Success or failure depended on this one move, and he could not afford to be careless.
"Puff!" A light sound.
A small flame came out, and he immediately put the bottom of the beer bottle back into his pocket. He picked up a few thin branches that he had prepared and added them to the fire. Very soon, the fire started to burn.
He lit the fire.
He let the branches burn on the stone slab for a while. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was more than a meter tall. At this time, he gathered the branches in the fire and placed them under the stone slab. He continued to add more firewood to make it more intense.
Soon, the bundle of branches that he had picked up earlier was burned out. He stood up, patted his hands, and ran towards the forest. He wanted to pick up more branches.
This time, he went to the forest and picked up the thick branches. He could burn them for a longer time, and there would be some charcoal left.
Soon, he picked up the branches. There were three or four of them, and they were more than a meter long and as thick as an arm.
He came back just in time. The branches under the stone slab were almost burned out, leaving behind a few pieces of red charcoal. A few wisps of flame that were half a foot tall were still slowly swaying.
He quickly joined the withered branches and let the flames rise again. He found a branch with leaves inside the withered branches. This branch was specially plucked from the tree, and it was covered with dense leaves.
He used the leaves of this branch to clean the stone slab. He swept away all the lime dust and dirt on the stone slab. He was still worried after looking at it.
Then he cut open the last coconut and poured the coconut water inside into the stone slab to wash it. He felt a little heartache after pouring half of the coconut water into his mouth.
He ran back and forth to pick up the withered branches, making him feel a little thirsty again.
Then Xia Qingfeng took out the shells he had picked up at the beach earlier. At this time, he placed his hand on top of the stone slab and felt that the heat rising from the stone slab was almost there.
Seeing his bag full of shells, he was about to remove the shells, so he quickly pulled out a military dagger and pried open the shells, taking out the meat from the shells and placing it on the stone slab.
Just as he was about to pry open the first shell with the military dagger, a system notification rang in his mind.
The system only rang once, but there was no notification. He was a little puzzled and opened his system screen to take a closer look.
"Ah ~" Xia Qingfeng let out a low cry of surprise.
Suddenly, he realized that the red progress bar and the green progress bar had both lit up a little. The two progress bars were originally gray, but now they were lit up.
Furthermore, the number behind the red progress bar that represented the soul force had become 0.1/100.
The number behind the green progress bar that represented the vitality had become 0.3/100.
So that's how it was. This shell was also alive. If he killed it now, he would obtain 0.3 vitality and 0.1 soul force.
This was a bit of a trap! The vitality was only 0.3. Only 100 points could be added to an attribute point. How long would it take him to save up?
However, Xia Qingfeng thought about it and understood. This shell was too small. If he killed a whale, oh, no, a fish, the vitality he would obtain would definitely be much more than the shell. A whale could only laugh. He didn't even need to think about it.
However, the shell and the sea star had given him a total of 4.5 points of vitality and 1.6 points of soul force. It was better than nothing. However, he only needed to kill a shell to obtain vitality and soul force at the same time. This setting was really good.
At this moment, Xia Qingfeng thought of the coconuts he had chopped off earlier. The system didn't give him any hints. However, he thought about it and understood. It seemed that these coconuts were only the fruits of the coconut tree, and they didn't represent the vitality. If he chopped down the entire coconut tree, he might be able to obtain vitality. Of course, this was only his guess at the moment. As for whether it was true or not? He would find an opportunity to test it out.
Now, he should focus on his business. With both hands, he used the military dagger to cut open the shells one by one. Looking at the shell meat on the stone slab, he was right. What he needed to do was to roast the shell meat. He didn't have any seasoning, nor did he have any other extravagant hopes. All he needed to do was to roast the meat.
Soon, strands of smoke rose. He put all the shell meat on the stone slab. He also picked up a pentagon-shaped sea star and put it on it.
There was not much meat in the shell. The meat of ten shells combined together was not even as big as the sea star. Although he said that, the fragrance of the roast had already drifted out.
The hungry Xia Qingfeng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. However, he didn't dare to eat the shell meat now. He used his greatest self-control to control himself. He carefully turned the shell meat on the stone slab so that the shell meat could be evenly heated.
At the same time, he had to control the temperature of the flame under the stone slab. If the fire was too big, he would have to pull out the branch and step on it to extinguish it. When the fire was small, he would put the branch back.
How did that sentence come about? The most important thing in cooking was to grasp the temperature of the fire.
