A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

The sun was blazing outside the cave. Su Ling touched her empty stomach and said, "My stomach, just be patient. I'll find you something to eat after I'm done."

Su Ling didn't dare to go far. Hu Yi was not conscious now. If a wild beast came and took him away, she wouldn't even be able to come back to collect the body.

Fortunately, the herbs she needed were relatively easy to find, such as dandelions and thistles, which could be seen in the wild. Although they were called herbs, they could actually be eaten as wild vegetables, so they were not considered.

"Ouch!"

The injury on her knee made Su Ling not as agile as before, and she slid down the path the last few steps.

I climbed up and looked at the location of the cave. It was about seven or eight meters high, with a rugged path. The entrance to the cave was quite hidden.

From here you can still see the outline of the giant forest. It doesn’t seem far away, but it took me from morning till noon to get here. It was really a waste of time.

Looking at the various strange plants on the ground at his feet, Su Ling slapped his forehead and then he remembered what to do if there were no dandelions and thistles here.

"Forget it, let's look for it first. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. If we can't find it, we can think of other ways."

Fortunately, dandelions are tenacious and can adapt to various soil environments. They are relatively easy to find. After turning around a few bushes, I saw several dandelions.

I didn’t feel that way before, but now looking at these little yellow flowers and dandelion seeds floating in the wind, I feel really close to them. I don’t know if it’s because of the good environment that the dandelions are growing so well.

That’s right, it’s not just dandelions that grow well here, all the plants and animals grow well too.

Su Ling saw that all the dandelions were pulled up by the roots, and the remaining ones could be made into wild vegetables or dried.

goo goo...

I touched my stomach and made sure it wasn't my stomach growling, but something else was growling. When I listened carefully I heard the flapping of some animal's wings.

When I pulled aside the grass, I saw a bird with bright and beautiful feathers. One of its feet was caught on a thorny vine on the ground, and it was flapping its wings anxiously.

Su Ling's eyes lit up, "Haha, I thought I would be hungry again today, I didn't expect that!"

Suning walked over, pulled some grass from the ground, tied up the bird's feet, and then freed it from the vines. He lifted it up and shook it, "Hey! It's not light, at least more than ten pounds."

"I don't know if there are any eggs." Su Ling started searching in the grass. Unexpectedly, she really found a nest with five fist-sized eggs in it. She happily accepted all of them with a smile.

Unexpectedly, my good luck has not yet run out. There are two thistles next to the grass. The purple-red flowers are very beautiful. The overall color is dark brown, with serrated leaves. I dug up the thistles and completed today's mission successfully.

Now the problems of medicine and food have been solved, but whether there is water and tools to boil water is a question worth pondering.

Most of the orcs now use stone tools, but it is not realistic to ask Su Ling to chisel out a stone pot now. When he was on Blue Star, he could just buy one. It is not as troublesome as it is now.

I didn't expect to be stumped by a pot. "What should I do? A bamboo tube would work, but looking around, there are only grass and trees here. I can only look for fruit shells that are resistant to burning."

Su Ling wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It's really hot. These two suns are really not just for show."

"It's been so long, I should go back and check on him first. I don't know if his fever has gotten worse."

On the way back, Su Ling paid attention to whether there were any water sources or tools to boil water around.

The medicine is near the cave, so the way back is not far.

Whenever the grass is greener or the soil is moister, Su Ling will go over to check, hoping to find a water source.

When we walked and stopped near the foot of the cave, we found a small natural spring with a diameter of three meters hidden under the grass.

There were signs of trampling on the grass in the direction of the cave, so Tiger Wing should usually drink water here.

Su Ling drank a few sips of water with a feeling of relief, "Ah! The soil and water in the orc world are really nourishing! The water is clear and sweet."

"What are you doing here?" Hu Yi asked Su Ling who was washing grass.

After Hu Yi woke up, he didn't see Su Ling. Fearing that she might be in danger, he pushed himself tiredly to go out and look for her.

The fever made my mouth dry and I wanted to come over to drink some water, but I didn’t expect that you were here by chance.

Su Ning saw the flushed man coming here, "You're awake! How do you feel? How did you get out?"

"I didn't see you when I woke up, so I was worried that you might be in danger, so I came out to check." Hu Yi explained.

After saying that, he squatted sideways to drink water. This posture was to prevent wild animals from attacking from behind. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he would not let his guard down in the wild.

Su Ling felt warm in her heart, "Ah, this, didn't I say I would heal you? I just came out to pick some herbs. Look, I have found the herbs, I can go back soon after washing them." Su Ling showed the washed herbs to Hu Yi.

"Is this the herb you mentioned? Can it heal wounds like mine?" Hu Yi asked in surprise, looking at the weeds that could be seen everywhere in the wild.

"Yes, don't worry. I've seen your wound. Although it's long, fortunately it's not deep and doesn't need to be stitched. Otherwise, I don't know where to find the needle and thread for you." If Hu Yi's wound was deeper, it would have to be stitched. Fortunately, it doesn't need to be stitched now.

Just treat the festering area on the wound and then crush the thistle and apply it to the wound.

Great burdock is very good at stopping bleeding, dispersing blood stasis and reducing swelling, while dandelion is good at clearing away heat and detoxifying, and has a good fever-reducing effect.

"But now I have found the medicine, but I don't have the tools to boil water. I didn't see anything that can boil water in the cave. I will look for something nearby that can boil water later."

"Do these herbs need to be boiled? The tribe uses stone pots to boil water, but I used to just take a simple rest here. I didn't bring anything with me this time, so there's nothing in the cave." Hu Yi looked at Su Ling apologetically, "But I know there is a kind of shell that can also be used to boil water, but it's not very durable."

"Sure, as long as I can solve the current urgent problem, I can deal with the other things later. Is it far? Where is it? I'll go pick it now." Su Ling stood up, wiped the water on her hands and wanted to leave.

"No need, just wait here for a while, I'll go get it and be back soon." After saying that, he walked out without waiting for Suning's reaction.

"Hey, what's wrong with this guy? He's injured but still so stubborn. What if something unexpected happens?"

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. Hu Yi quickly brought back seven or eight shells, with orange-red outer shells and yellow interiors, about thirty to forty centimeters in diameter. One of them was fresh and complete, in the shape of a round ball.
