Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

What to do? Wasting it is out of the question. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue sent a message to Han Weiyi: "Weiyi, do you have any empty boxes? I'll swap with you for one."

Han Weiyi replied instantly, sending an empty box and saying, "No need to exchange, give it to my sister."

"Okay, thank you." It's just a box; there's no need to pull it back and forth.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and then put everything away. She packed the remaining three tools, dried lark meat, mineral water, pine nuts, and pine resin into the box, and then put the box into her backpack.

Perfect! After tidying up like this, she had six empty compartments in her backpack.

Lin Yue continued walking, preparing to cut down the second tree. But halfway there, she suddenly felt her foot trip. Looking down, she saw a yellow crystal.

Isn't this saltpeter?

This floating island in the air actually has saltpeter?

Lin Yue picked up the crystal and confirmed that it was indeed saltpeter, and it seemed that there was still quite a lot on the ground.

Lin Yue bent down and picked them up one by one. As she picked them up, she felt that the pieces of saltpeter were getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more of them. Some of them were even attached to the ground.

Lin Yue replaced the iron axe in her hand with an iron pickaxe and slammed it into the ground.

[Nitrate Deposit: A type of ore containing nitrates, yielding 6 nitrates upon mining.]

There are actually saltpeter mines here?

Lin Yue became increasingly surprised. She had found saltpeter in three different places in just one day, and she had a feeling that this stuff would be of great use later.

With that in mind, Lin Yue focused intently on digging. After all the light yellow crystals nearby had been dug out, Lin Yue had 128 pieces of saltpeter in her backpack.

She let out a soft sigh, stood up, couldn't help but rub her aching lower back, and then looked ahead with renewed vigor.

The cooldown period for Sky Wings had ended, and Lin Yue spread her wings and slowly flew forward.

Berries? Pick them, pick them, pick them!

Pine trees? Chop them down!

Oh dear, there are even bracken ferns? Pinch them off.

Panax notoginseng, Callicarpa japonica leaves, mint, dandelion... Lin Yue found quite a few useful herbs in her backpack. She became increasingly happy as she collected them, and soon exchanged two new wooden boxes with Han Weiyi to store her belongings.

The system was right; the resources on this floating island were indeed exceptionally abundant.

Suddenly, a low hum broke the silence of the forest, and Lin Yue immediately became alert and slowed her pace.

Through the gaps in the bushes, she saw two wild boars leisurely foraging in an open meadow. These two boars were much larger than the ones Lin Yue had seen on television before; they looked about the size of calves, and their muscles appeared exceptionally strong in the sunlight. One boar's tusks gleamed coldly in the sunlight, while the other bore several obvious scars, and one of its legs seemed to be lame.

Lin Yue slowed her breathing and began to carefully observe her surroundings.

With these two boars together, charging straight at them is clearly not an option to take them down. Even with "Peashooter" and "Ice Shooter" by her side, if both boars charge at her at the same time, she'll likely have a hard time escaping unscathed.

After searching for a while, Lin Yue found a large rock and several sturdy trees nearby. She slowly moved behind the rock, a position about eight meters away from the two wild boars, just within the effective range of the Peashooter.

Lin Yue first took out the wooden box containing the Peashooter, carefully placed it in front of the stone, and then placed three Wall-nuts in a circle around it. Only the hairdryer head was exposed.

In an instant, Lin Yue's mental energy was drained by more than half. Then, she took a deep breath, hugged the "Frost Archer" to her chest, and silently lurked on the other side.

Set the crosshair, confirm, and aim!

"Pfft—" A pea bullet whistled out and hit the side of the lame wild boar precisely.

The wild boar, in pain, let out an angry roar. The other wild boar beside it also instantly became alert, and the two wild boars began to look around, seemingly searching for the source of the attack.

Lin Yue held her breath and waited on the side.

"Thud—" That sound came from the Ice Archer's bullet, freezing the lame boar in place, unable to move. The other boar beside it had already spotted the bullet's trajectory and charged straight at the large rock.

The wild boar was incredibly fast, reaching the large rock in the blink of an eye and slamming its head into the "nut wall" directly in front of it.

The wild boar seemed stunned for a moment by the impact, then its rage flared. Its bristles stood on end like sharp arrows, its front hooves paved the ground, it took two steps back, and charged again with renewed force. This time, its sharp tusks pierced deeply into the shell of the "nut wall," causing the shell to crack instantly, revealing a spiderweb-like pattern.

Meanwhile, the limp wild boar's frozen period ended.

Oh no! I was too overconfident! The wild boar's attack power is far greater than I expected.

Lin Yue was startled. Holding "Peashooter" and "Ice Shooter" on her left and right, she took off. Two bullets shot towards the lame boar from mid-air again. The blower-shaped weapon tilted its head back and slammed into Lin Yue's armor with two thuds.

"hiss……"

Lin Yue winced in pain, genuinely surprised that the plant in the process of being launched would have such a strong recoil.

But at this moment, Lin Yue couldn't care less about her sore shoulder. She spread her wings and circled around to the wild boar's diagonal rear, carefully placing the two archers in her hand.

"puff-"

"puff-"

Two bullets were fired at the lame wild boar, one after the other, freezing it in place once again, rendering it unable to move.

Meanwhile, another wild boar seemed to be determined to conquer the "nut wall." After forcefully pulling out its tusks, it repeatedly rammed into it. After six or seven such attempts, the round potato finally gave way and shattered into pieces of varying sizes scattered on the ground.

Lin Yue originally thought that the wild boar should turn around and help its companions, but who knew that the big boar grunted a few times and actually moved closer to the pile of "nut wall" fragments and sniffed them carefully.

Then, it sniffed, as if confirming something, and firmly pressed down on the largest piece with its front hooves. It lowered its head and began to gnaw on it with grunts.

Perhaps the "nut wall" was particularly attractive to the animals, because after the wild boar finished a large piece, it was not satisfied. Instead, it continued to nudge the nut wall with its snout and began to pick at other pieces, happily eating one piece after another.
