Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 11: The Fleeing Wild Wolves and Black Sparrows

"Salt, if it can be traded, this is a must."

Before, they relied on salt-containing rocks to replenish salt.

But eating too much of that kind of stone can cause accidents. It would be best if there was salt, even if it was just coarse salt.

"As for clothes, I haven't changed my clothes for nearly ten years. They are so worn out that they are almost unwearable. If conditions permit, I will change them. Peng Min's clothes are almost the same."

Yang Chen thought secretly: "If I can change my weapon, I'll see if I can change it to a gun."

However, guns require bullets, which is actually very troublesome because the barbarians do not know how to make bullets and do not have the conditions to do so.

Once the bullets are used up, the gun becomes scrap metal.

Therefore, it would be best if there were other weapons to choose from.

Nails, especially those three centimeters long, must be replaced if available.

At this time, Peng Min saw a rotten bone protruding from the ground, so he walked over and dug it out with a wooden spear.

What was dug out was human bones.

"Don't waste your energy."

Yang Chen said: "I can roughly sense it, I said dig and dig again."

"Ok."

Peng Min nodded and asked curiously, "Do you know what that bone is?"

“If it goes as expected, it should be crystallized bone marrow.” Yang Chen replied.

"Crystallized bone marrow?"

Peng Min suddenly realized: "I've heard of this term before. It turns out it's crystallized bone marrow."

Yang Chen took a look at the upgrade progress of the nail gun and found that it was only 37%.

This speed was much slower than he expected.

He originally thought that he could have advanced two levels last night, but now it seems that without external energy replenishment, it would be good if he could reach level nine before tonight.

It would be best if we could dig out crystallized bone marrow.

"boom--"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the front. Yang Chen and the others looked up and saw that all the members of a scavenger team were blown away by the exploding ground.

Several members were seriously injured and their legs were almost blown off.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

At the front, unbridled laughter was heard from the migrating team in the safe zone.

"Could it be a mine placed by the migration team to the safe zone?"

Everyone's heart sank and their eyes became even colder, but they still did not slow down, they just took a detour to the rear.

Yang Chen’s eyes were also gloomy: “If we can’t trade, then we can only… find a way to snatch it!”

He might not be the only one who had such an idea.

Everyone looked around with eagle eyes and wolfish eyes, hanging far behind, like greedy hungry wolves, silently following the migration team in the safe zone.

"It's disgusting that this garbage is still following us."

Inside the safe zone migration team, the young man in fancy clothes was very unhappy: "Add a few more mines."

The guard next to him advised: "Master, this will easily anger these untouchables, it's not worth it."

There are only a little over a thousand people in their safe zone, while the total number of wild people around them is probably three to four thousand.

If all the barbarians are angered, even they will have to be killed for a long time, and there will be no benefit in killing them, it will not be worth it.

However, before the young man in fancy clothes could answer, the guard on duty suddenly sounded the alarm.

……

"what is that……"

Suddenly someone exclaimed in the distance.

Yang Chen and the others turned their heads and saw a withered yellow wave sweeping towards them.

Some evolvers who have awakened their eyesight changed their expressions: "It's a pack of wild wolves... a big pack of wild wolves, how can there be so many wild wolves?"

"What? Wild Wolf?"

"Is he also running for his life? How is that possible?!"

"Could it be that the so-called great disaster has already broken out?!"

Everyone was shocked and hurried to speed up.

"Let's go!"

Yang Chen also hurriedly ran with Peng Min.

But how can a person’s running speed match that of a wolf pack?

The withered yellow waves behind swept in like real waves, and soon caught up with the scavenging team that was at the back.

What was surprising was that, except for the wild wolves that happened to pass by the wild people and attacked people just to get a bite of food, the rest of the wild wolves did not slow down and continued to run forward.

"Why do it feel like they are really running for their lives?" someone asked in surprise.

Some people's eyes lit up after seeing this scene.

"Hurry up and take advantage of the opportunity to hunt down the wild wolves. As long as the disaster doesn't come soon, you can eat your fill first!"

Some scavenging teams quickly began to intercept and hunt the wild wolves that were rushing towards them.

Because the other wild wolves were busy escaping, they had no time to care about their companions and would not attack them in groups.

This gives everyone an opportunity.

Seeing this, the other scavenger teams followed suit.

For the starving people, nothing is more important than filling their stomachs.

Although Yang Chen did not deliberately intercept or hunt the wild wolves, when he saw a wild wolf rushing towards the two of them at an unstoppable speed, he hurriedly raised his nail gun and aimed.

When the wild wolf was only ten meters away from them, he pressed the launch button.

"boom!"

The wolf's head was shot through instantly, and its body fell forward due to inertia, rolling to their feet before stopping.

This kind of wild wolf, whose shoulder height is only comparable to an adult's knee, is actually quite powerful. Yang Chen had spent a lot of effort to kill one before. At that time, the nail gun fired nine shots in a row but failed to kill it because it could not cause penetrating injuries.

As a result, this time, he was killed with one shot, and the bullet went straight through his skull.

“Take the body and leave quickly.” Yang Chen shouted.

"Uh-huh."

Peng Min happily picked up the wild wolf's body and continued running after Yang Chen.

The nearby scavenger team looked on with envy. This is the difference.

They had not run far when suddenly another wild wolf pounced towards them.

"boom!"

Yang Chen shot it dead again, then threw away the almost useless wooden bow, picked up the wild wolf's body and ran again.

However, after running for a distance, he suddenly found that the withered and yellow wave had passed and there were no more wild wolves behind him.

So he hurriedly aimed at a wild wolf more than ten meters ahead and pressed the fire button.

"boom!"

A bloody hole was shot at the back of the wolf's head, and its body fell forward, rolling twice before stopping.

Yang Chen ran over with Peng Min, and was thinking about how to take the corpse when suddenly a burst of intensive flapping wings was heard.

"Oh no... Why are there so many black sparrows?!"

"Are the Black Sparrows also fleeing for their lives?"

"Don't black sparrows only move around at night?!"

"What happened?!"

There was another exclamation from behind.

Yang Chen looked back and saw thousands of black sparrows flying from the Gobi Desert, like a dark cloud.

After the black sparrows discovered the savages on the ground, they quickly slowed down and prepared to attack.

Some scavenger teams that failed to hunt down the wild wolves hurriedly prepared to capture the black sparrows that swooped down. Now both sides were hunters and prey.

A flock of starving black sparrows dares to attack humans, but starving savages also dare to fight against the flock of black sparrows.

The battle was about to break out, and it became intense the moment they made contact.

Many barbarians roared, and when they were attacked by hundreds of black sparrows at the same time, they suddenly grabbed two black sparrows and stuffed them directly into their mouths.

"A human can never outrun the flying speed of a black sparrow. Use something to block your head."

Yang Chen hurriedly threw down the wolf's corpse, placed the animal hide bag on his head, quickly filled the nail gun with steel nails, and then aimed at a black bird that was shooting towards him like a sharp arrow.

"boom!"

A cloud of blood mist exploded, and the black bird was instantly pierced through the body by steel nails and fell down.

A black sparrow also swooped down from the other direction.

Yang Chen concentrated and took aim quickly.

Because of the crosshair to assist in aiming, I shot it down without wasting any effort.

With a "bang", blood mist exploded from the black bird's body.

Suddenly, the black sparrows around that also wanted to swoop down seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly changed direction, targeting other people.

However, the savages were not vegetarians. Many of them were almost going crazy with hunger, but they still maintained the bottom line of humanity and refused to eat human flesh. They waved their wooden spears desperately or grabbed directly with their hands.

As long as you catch a black sparrow, you can stuff it into your mouth along with its feathers.

The price to pay was that some of the barbarians had their faces pecked with blood, or their skin was pecked off, and the unlucky ones had their eyes pecked blind.

In just a few minutes, the number of black sparrows was reduced by nearly half.

The remaining black sparrows seemed to be full and flew away hurriedly.

Several barbarians also died, and many of the rest were injured.

Yang Chen picked up the two black sparrows he had shot down, and prepared to continue on his journey, but if the two of them took the corpses of the three wild wolves with them, it would greatly slow down their speed.

"Master Evolver, we will help you get food, just give us some bones..." suddenly a barbarian said.

"We can, sir. Just give us the food you don't want to eat."

“We can have less…”

"We only need the residue in our stomach and intestines..."

Many scavenging teams gathered around because they saw the three dead wolf corpses beneath Yang Chen and the other two.

Peng Min had a sullen face and pointed his bow and arrow at the barbarians.

However, those barbarians were not afraid of Peng Min. What they were really afraid of was Yang Chen, the evolver.

Yang Chen looked over with cold eyes, and all the barbarians immediately retreated subconsciously.

Although they have a large number of people, their long-standing fear of the Evolvers has made them have no courage to fight against the Evolvers unless they are starving to death.

After all, the evolvers are beings that possess supernatural powers.

Yang Chen glanced behind him, and seeing that there was no more species escaping as before, he suddenly had an idea and said, “I need crystallized bone marrow. Anyone of you who has crystallized bone marrow can exchange with me.”

Crystallized bone marrow is the same energy-containing bone that he had dug out from the remains of the wild wolf before.

"Crystallized bone marrow?"

Many of the barbarians' eyes lit up. Although they did not have it on them, they had all seen that kind of thing before.

Only a very small number of barbarians were confused.

For the barbarians, if there are conditions to trade with the Evolver team, they will collect everything they think is valuable and trade it.

Some of the barbarians may have come into contact with crystallized bone marrow before, or even sold it, but they may not recognize that what they are selling is crystallized bone marrow.

"My Lord, are you telling the truth?"

At this time, a scavenging team came over here and said expectantly: "We have crystallized bone marrow."

Yang Chen was delighted, he actually got something in return. He said calmly, “Of course it’s true. One piece of crystallized bone marrow can be traded for all the internal organs of a wild wolf, including the residue.”
