Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

"I actually discovered a coal mine?"

Chen Changfan laughed out loud with excitement, and his voice echoed in the empty mine for a long time.

He picked up two "stones" on the ground, quickly exited the crevice, returned to the cave where he came from, lit the tinder again, and looked at his hand impatiently.

Two pieces of shiny black coal lay quietly in the palm of my hand.

"It really is a coal mine! Judging from the quality of the coal, it seems to be extremely high-quality clean coal."

He had previously thought that after the shelter was built, he should stockpile a large amount of charcoal and firewood.

After all, the temperature in the winter during the Little Ice Age could be lower than one could imagine. If there was not enough firewood to keep warm during the winter, it was not uncommon to freeze to death.

Now, he has a coal mine, so he doesn’t have to worry about heating anymore.

He couldn't help but even began to imagine that once he had coal, he could move into iron and steel making. Of course, with his current strength, it was still too early to develop industry.

In order to develop the iron smelting industry, in addition to coal, it also requires the coordinated planning of iron ore, machinery, workers and other aspects. It can be said that the right time, place and people are all indispensable.

There is indeed no favorable timing, as we are currently in a Little Ice Age and are experiencing a disaster and chaos, but we do have the right location.

I'm afraid these underground caves are crisscrossed. He can develop a few more caves, one to build a blast furnace, one to dump slag, one as a warehouse, and one as a processing workshop.

As for the air pollution caused by mining and iron smelting, the countless large and small pits above are natural chimneys.

All kinds of harmful gases are discharged outwards without any fear of bad weather.

As for human harmony, the thing that is least lacking in this disaster year is labor.

As long as you say that food and accommodation are provided, I wonder how many people will rush to do these dirty and tiring jobs.

Of course, all this is a story later.

The most important thing right now is to clear the many obstacles in the cave and then build a passage that is convenient for entry and exit.

Then he could bring his wife and daughter in and build the shelter bit by bit.

There are still ten days until the natural disaster comes, and he doesn't have much time left.

As for the first obstacle, it was naturally the Nether Crocodile trapped behind the stone pillar.

He simply couldn't feel at ease with such a horrible creature right next door.

"I don't know if I can handle this big guy with my current means."

Chen Changfan approached the stone pillar cautiously, and sure enough, in the darkness, he saw a pair of familiar huge dark blue vertical pupils slowly opening.

Even though he had seen it once, Chen Changfan still felt his scalp tingling after seeing it.

Squeak!

The little lizard seemed to sense the danger and called out a few times to the Nether Crocodile. The latter actually gently opened its ferocious mouth, which was as big as a door panel, and made a sound similar to snoring.

Squeak!

Hurrah!

Chen Changfan's mouth twitched slightly. No, you two are having this conversation?

Can someone translate for me what the lizard language and crocodile language mean?

With a thought, he called out the system panel.

Because just now, for some reason, he suddenly had a special feeling in his heart.

It was as if the two beasts were really talking to each other, and as long as he listened carefully, he seemed to be able to easily understand the language of the two beasts.

This feeling is very strange, as if I suddenly have a little talent for language, but this talent is related to animal language.

"It should be that after establishing a connection with the little lizard, I also gained a certain ability to understand animal language."

After all, being able to communicate with lizards in a simple way is equivalent to learning animal language.

The two beasts seemed to be still talking. He suddenly thought about it and used an enlightenment point directly.

[In the first year, you will master the skills of animal taming and can communicate with individual animals in a simple way. This is the beginning of the art.]

[In the third year, the little beast you raise gradually grows and transforms, becoming different from ordinary wild beasts and can help you find treasures]

[In the seventh year, you can already "hear" and understand various animal languages ​​and give simple responses. The little animals you raise are becoming more and more extraordinary, as if they have gained intelligence and have achieved some skills.]

In the ninth year, you enjoy sitting quietly in the woods, listening to the chirping of insects and birds. You can hunt small animals on your own, and prey will come to you just by sitting quietly.

In the 12th year, the little beast became even more extraordinary, daring to challenge tigers and leopards, yet it only showed closeness to you. You speculated that after raising it for so many years, a bond had formed between you and it.

[In the 16th year, you will be proficient in at least ten animal languages ​​and can use ventriloquism to summon birds and beasts, guiding them to serve you. Your skills will be fully developed.]

[In the 23rd year, the little beast actually hunted a wild wolf. You tried to cultivate it with spiritual materials. The little beast grew amazingly and became as strong as a tiger or leopard.]

[In the 30th year, you have mastered the language of all beasts. The little beasts are hard to beat in this forest. You also learned from ancient books that some exotic beasts are gifted with extraordinary talents and strong bloodlines.]

In the 32nd year, you tamed a wolf king and a bear king. All the beasts were at your disposal, and you reigned supreme in the mountains. Thus, your skills were perfected.

You have suddenly realized the art of taming beasts, perfection!

This time, his epiphany went unexpectedly smoothly. Perhaps it was because he had established a connection with the little lizard, which meant he was already in the stage of taming the animal, so there was almost no obstacle to his progress.

Moreover, the word "little beast" appears frequently in the epiphany, which obviously plays an extremely critical role.

"What is that little beast you're referring to? Is it the little lizard on my shoulder, or the Nether Crocodile inside the stone pillar?"

He suppressed his doubts because the squeaking and snoring sounds in his ears caught his attention.

Squeak!

[You...surrender! Resist...die!]

Hurrah!

[Don't even think about it! I, the Nether Crocodile, will never be a slave!]

The roars of the beasts were originally meaningless, but after he suddenly realized the art of taming beasts, Chen Changfan was able to understand the content of their conversation by combining the body movements of the two beasts.

It is truly magical!

only……

This little lizard obviously didn't have full intelligence yet, and didn't know how to be roundabout when speaking.

Although he communicated with good intentions and wanted the Nether Crocodile to submit to him, the other party obviously didn't buy it.

Sure enough, the Nether Crocodile behind the stone pillar suddenly roared, moved its huge claws, and slammed hard on the stone pillar in front.

boom!

Chen Changfan felt the ground beneath his feet shake violently, and he almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, the stone pillar was thick enough, otherwise the rock would have been shattered by such a violent impact.

Hululu!

[You lowly human being, you actually dream of enslaving me? You're courting death!]

Seeing that the Nether Crocodile was so arrogant, Chen Changfan didn't want to show any mercy to the other party. He drew his bow and shot three arrows in a row.

The arrow flew through the air, passed over the stone pillar, and shot straight into the giant blue eyes of the Nether Crocodile.

The Nether Crocodile didn't expect that the human's archery skills were so accurate. It had no time to dodge and could only close its eyelids in panic. However, the defense of the eyelids was so fragile that the arrow pierced its eyelids, causing it to roar in pain.

[Despicable human! Come in and fight me if you dare!]

[Ahhh, this damn place! I shouldn't have been so greedy in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn't be trapped here.]

Greedy?

Could it be that this Nether Crocodile was not very big before, but became huge because it ate some magical substance and was trapped in it?

Is there really such a magical substance in this world?

There was no time to think about it. After being injured, the Nether Crocodile became extremely violent. Its pair of dark blue eyes were full of ferocity, and it wished it could come out immediately and tear Chen Changfan to pieces.

"It seems that the power of the Erli bow is still not enough, otherwise those arrows just now would be enough to blind the Nether Crocodile!"

Chen Changfan shot a few more arrows, but the Nether Crocodile had learned its lesson. When it saw Chen Changfan drawing his bow, it immediately protected its vital parts.

When the arrows hit its hard skin, they made a crisp sound and even sent out sparks, but they just couldn't break the opponent's defense.

"This guy has such a tough skin!"
