On the way, Jiang Cheng took out a piece of barbecue and the three of them shared some to keep up their strength.
However, they all ate quietly, not daring to be seen, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Life +0.1"
Suddenly, a piece of information skipped across the panel in his mind.
Jiang Cheng was startled and found that his vitality had increased by another tenth point, reaching two point six.
However, because this is a subtle improvement after starting the road of evolution, it is not too obvious.
He kept silent and continued on his way, while he was thinking about whether he could improve his level through collection during the night's rest.
Although the increased level through collection will only open the upper limit of the level, the direct improvement in strength is not large, and when the energy cannot keep up, there will be a bottleneck.
But as long as the upper limit is increased, the subsequent training should be improved and the speed should be faster.
And every time you upgrade to a level, you can at least increase your vitality a little bit. It's a little once, but if you add it up many times, it can't be ignored.
However, since reaching level ten, the experience required for each level has almost doubled, and it is not that easy to move up to a level.
Plus now we have to look for food and water, so there is no time to stay in one place for too long.
These wilderness people have very good physical strength...or rather, amazing resilience. No one was left behind along the way.
Or maybe the laggards will always be left behind.
Jiang Cheng was a little tired anyway, and those people still followed him with expressionless and numb expressions.
Even for a weak woman like Tong Xiaorou, this is the same. Such long journeys seem to be commonplace for them.
Along the way, if you occasionally see some trees or weeds that are not withered, someone will rush up to grab the bark and dig out the roots.
Except for the group at the front, most of the people at the back participated in the fight.
Some people even got into fights over it.
Thousands of people fought for it together, and the scene was very exaggerated. The place where they passed was like locusts crossing the border, the weeds were cleared away, and the ground was dug out one after another with bare hands.
A family of three tall, thin men also participated, and they were very skilled in digging out grass roots with their bare hands or wooden spears. Their hands seemed to have evolved, with thick calluses, sharp nails, and they dug the soil very quickly.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look at the hands of Yaya and Tong Xiaorou, and sure enough he found that the palms of the two girls also had a thick layer of calluses, and their nails were also thicker and sharper than those of ordinary people in their previous lives. Apparently they had come here this way before.
But now that he is here, the three of them are not involved.
There are still about twenty kilograms of roasted wolf meat in the space backpack. If he saves a little, it will be enough for ten days. What he is really short of now is water.
When Tong Xiaorou saw those people scrambling for bark and grass roots, and thought that the last two meals she had eaten were extremely fragrant barbecues, a sense of satisfaction and superiority suddenly arose in her heart, and she couldn't help but get closer to Jiang Cheng.
Sensing Tong Xiaorou's emotional change, Jiang Cheng smiled at her, which immediately made her feel more at ease.
Finally, after traveling for about seven or eight kilometers, the sun completely set and the sky turned completely dark, and the land boat stopped at a flat place.
Jiang Cheng saw from a distance that two powered armors were sailing around the land and cutting down the surrounding vines, seemingly opening up a temporary camp.
Those who walked in front went to help, rolled up the chopped vines into a ball, and then sent them to the land for boating.
"What are they doing?" Tong Xiaorou asked blankly.
Jiang Cheng had a guess, but he wasn't sure.
At this time, the tall and thin man came over and said: "I heard that those people use plants to extract atoms. The excess elements can be used to synthesize food and water. This is how the food and water on the land boat come from."
As he said that, he looked at Jiang Cheng: "My friend, my son and I want to go over to work. Do you want to come with us? If we do, my wife will stay with your family, so we can have company."
His wife is that skinny woman, probably not in good health and unable to do heavy work.
Refining atoms?
Jiang Cheng was confused, could there be any precious elements in plants?
But he thought about it and refused, not wanting Tong Xiaorou and Yaya to stay alone with strangers, even if they were women.
"I'll check the situation first. If there's no problem, I'll talk tomorrow." He replied.
"Okay then." The tall and thin man left without any further entanglement.
There are also people who are as hesitant as Jiang Cheng. Those people are not short of food for the time being and want to see the situation first and worry about being cheated.
After all, they are almost all people who encounter the shelter for the first time. They are not forced to trust them easily.
At this time, some people had already started to climb the tree. They were very skilled and prepared to spend the night in the tree.
Jiang Cheng also took Tong Xiaorou and Yaya and stopped under an ancient tree with a diameter of nearly four meters, more than 300 meters away from the land.
He glanced around to make sure no one was approaching, then put down Yaya and said, "You guys wait for me here, I'll go up and dig a hole, and then I'll take you up."
"Yeah, be careful." Tong Xiaorou said.
Yaya also said: "Brother-in-law, be careful."
Jiang Cheng smiled and rubbed Yaya's head: "Don't worry."
After saying that, he inserted the Tang Hengdao into the dry bark, dug one hand into the cracked bark, and slowly climbed up.
But because he was worried that it would be inconvenient when he came down tomorrow, he didn't climb too high, only three meters.
This height is enough to prevent sneak attacks and at the same time, the field of vision is wider.
Moreover, it also prevents something like last night from happening. The two monsters last night seemed to be flying in the sky and fighting. The crown of the tree exploded, but the main trunk was not destroyed.
Arriving at a height of three meters, Jiang Cheng used the Tang Heng Dao to deeply insert the tree trunk in the area that would not be affected to stabilize his body, then put his palm on it and used his collecting skills to collect in a directional manner.
"Small wood +2"
"Small wood +2"
"Small wood +2"
Pieces of wood were collected, and fine cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the giant tree.
Just ten minutes later, the bark in front of me and the main trunk area inside dissipated like weathering at the same time, turning into a large number of fine wood chips and falling down. Some fell to the ground, and most of them accumulated at the bottom of the tree hole.
Like the one dug last night, this tree hole is only one meter in diameter and about three meters deep.
But this time, Jiang Cheng didn't stop.
He first glanced below and around to make sure no one was approaching, then climbed in, then put his hand on the cave wall above his head and performed directional collection.
Twenty minutes later, he expanded the tree hole to a depth of three meters, a width of one and a half meters, and a height of two meters.
In this way, you can stand in the tree hole without having to lie down all the time.
Of course, the hole is still only one meter in diameter.
If he wasn't worried about the giant tree breaking, Jiang Cheng would have wanted to dig wider.
After doing all this, he climbed out of the tree hole again and said to Tong Xiaorou and Yaya below: "Get out of the way, I'll jump down."
Tong Xiaorou and Yaya hurriedly got out of the way.
Jiang Cheng landed lightly, and then went up first with Yaya in his arms.
After sending Yaya into the tree hole, he came down again and carried Tong Xiaorou on his back.
"Wow, are any of us here tonight? It's so spacious and feels so safe." Tong Xiaorou said in surprise.
Yaya was even more excited to roll around on the fine and soft wood chips. It was so comfortable.
But after all, they were still hungry, so the two girls didn't get excited for long before they stopped, subconsciously conserving their energy.
"You guys go to bed first. I'm busy with some things outside. Don't come out casually, okay?" Jiang Cheng warned.
"Yeah, we won't go out." Tong Xiaoju said, "Then be careful and don't get busy too late."
"Brother-in-law, come back and sleep early." Yaya also said.
"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled, then came to the entrance of the cave and rowed towards the land more than 300 meters away through the heavy tree trunks and dead vines.
I saw bright lights there, and three to four thousand people were busy cutting down trees, carrying wood and dead vines, etc.
The huge land boat was like a bottomless pit. A large amount of materials were transported in, but it seemed that it couldn't be filled.
Jiang Cheng somewhat believed that there might really be a high-tech assembly line for refining elements and synthesizing food in the land boat.
He didn't look too much and jumped down from the hole again. He was going to start the big collection mode.
No matter what, I have to improve it by one or two levels tonight. I will raise the upper limit first and then slowly build up my strength.
