……

After subduing the giant gorilla, the sky was bright, and the Lone Eagle team regrouped.All the scouts thanked Bai Fu one by one, and Bai Fu hurriedly returned the gift.

After this battle, everyone felt grateful to Bai Fu. Although they still disapproved of Mr. Bai Fu Guijie's style of life and his daily attention, their impression of Bai Fu had changed greatly, and their resentment gradually dissipated.

Especially Xiucai and Lynx.Bai Fu risked his life to save each other, this friendship is even more precious.There was no thanks for the great kindness, although the two of them didn't have too much politeness in their mouths, but they remembered the life-saving grace in their hearts.

Iron Hammer saw it and felt joy in his heart: "Hehe, I knew there would be such a day. The lone eagle enters the clouds and soars its wings high."

……

The usually silent lone wolf also opened his mouth, saying: "Little White Dragon, it is not easy to defeat the giant gorilla, how can you subdue it?"

Bai Fu frowned, and said: "The Savage Valley is thousands of miles away from Qingcheng Mountain, but this giant gorilla seems to have some connection with Qingcheng Mountain's Nether Valley.

During the fight, I discovered that this giant gorilla actually had the talisman imprint of our Qingcheng lineage of imperial demons left on it.

So, I tried to use Qingcheng's spell to subdue demons and suppress demons to communicate with it, and it really worked.

This action confirmed my guess that the reason why this giant gorilla hijacked all the beasts and attacked us was manipulated by the people behind it. "

Tie Hammer said: "Can you find out who is in charge?"

Bai Fu shook his head, sadly said: "This method of exorcising demons and demons is a secret of our sect, only mastered by the master and a few elders. The elders of Qingcheng who understand this spell have already passed the gate of Jianmen. Killed in one battle.

With my treasures, I can only communicate with monsters simply.There is still a long way to go to control the monster. "

……

After the giant gorilla attack, the camp was severely damaged, and everyone collected as many usable items as possible from the ruins, packed their bags, and continued on their way.

Since the food and baggage they carried were almost destroyed, in the next few days, finding water and supplies became the top priority of the Lone Eagle team.

To survive in the wild, fire, water and salt are the three most indispensable supplies.

The fire is easy to handle, everyone carries a fire scythe, and the water and salt need to be collected again.

The first thing the team did was to find a source of clean water.

Savage Valley is rich in water and grass, and many lakes have many fish swimming here, but the hammer copied it with his hand, and after smelling the smell of the lake, he said: "This water has too many insect eggs. Once you drink it, it will kill you for several hours. After that, the diarrhea will continue, and diseases such as dysentery will be born."

There are also many streams that look very clear, but after the stream water here is heated, white flocculent precipitates often appear, and they cannot be drunk for a long time.

There is also a water source, the smell and color are good, but the hammer did not dare to be careless, he took out a piece of white rice paper and dripped water on it.After the rice paper is dried, it is observed that there are water spots.Iron Hammer shook his head and said, "This water has many impurities and poor quality, so it's still not drinkable."

After tossing for two hours, I finally found a clean water source.

The hammer pours water into the silver basin, puts the smashed elm bark, kapok branches and leaves and other plants, stirs in the water and settles for half an hour, gently scoops up the upper layer of clear water, and then pours it into an iron pot to boil.After the water cools down, pour it into the water bag.After the water bags carried by the Lone Eagle Squad were all filled, Iron Hammer set off.

In the next few days, before dawn every day, the hammer would get up to collect dew.Put the bamboo tubes under the leaves of banana leaves, grasses, etc., shake the leaves, and the dew will fall drop by drop, which can relieve the daily thirst of everyone.

During the march that day, it happened to be raining heavily, and everyone hid in the cave under the cliff to avoid the rain. Hammer and Luo Tuoer put all the pots and jars into the rain, and asked everyone for helmets to store the rainwater.

Everyone couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Chuiban, we have enough water, come in and take shelter from the rain."

Iron Hammer and Luo Tuo'er ran in with a smile on their face, they were drenched to the ground and drowned.The scholar handed the hammer a piece of dry cloth and let the hammer wipe his hair.

The hammer was about to wipe it, looked at the material of the cloth, rushed into the rain again, wrapped the cloth around a sloping tree trunk, and let one end of the cloth hang down into a copper pot for water collection ...

Bai Fu looked at Tie Hammer bustling around in the rain, and remembered the question he had when he first joined the Lone Eagle Squad: Scouts are often rebellious in the army, and Tie Hammer has no peerless martial arts, so why can he control it? Batches of capable people and strange men?
At this moment, Bai Fu seems to have found the answer.

……

With the guarantee of water, salt is also needed.

In addition to cooking seasoning and meeting the needs of the body, table salt has many functions in the wild:
Marching and camping in the wild, it is inevitable that you will be bitten by mosquitoes. Applying salt water to the affected area can effectively relieve symptoms of discomfort; if you are absorbed by leeches, you only need to put a little salt on the leeches, and the leeches will soon fall off and turn into blood; long distances in the wild Walking on foot, legs and feet are prone to swelling, soaking feet in hot salt water can effectively relieve swelling...

Every time the prey is caught, Hammer himself bleeds, allowing the scouts to replenish salt and nutrients from the blood of the prey.

Large herbivores, regularly lick in salt mines to supplement salt.

The hammer allows the lynx to track goats and other prey.In a cave, Lynx found that the goats were licking the ground and rocks, and finally found rock salt and got enough salt.

……

After eating and dressing warmly, one should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the body during long-distance marches.

The hammer made pancreas from animal fat and plant ashes.

The animal fat is cut into small strips with a hammer and boiled in a pot to refine the fat.Add water from time to time while cooking and stir frequently.After the fat in the fat is extracted, pour the fat into a copper tank to cool.

The hammer made the camel put the ash into a bamboo tube, and opened a small water outlet near the bottom of the bamboo tube.

The hammer poured water into the plant ash, and another bamboo tube was used to catch the mortar dripping from the small mouth.After the mortar in the bamboo tube is full, the hammer puts the fat and mortar into the cooking pot, puts it on the fire and cooks until it becomes sticky.

The soap for bathing is ready!
On that day, the scouts jumped into the clear water of the lake, took a big bath, and washed away the dirt from the past few days.

……

In this way, under the careful care of the hammer, the Lone Eagle scouts ate wild vegetables, ate wild fruits, roasted prey, drank rain and dew... No one had abdominal pain or diarrhea during the rapid march for several days.Not only are they not sick, but they are all alive and well.Even the inaccessible primitive forests like Savage Valley survived without any danger.

Bai Fufang knew that what the scholar said was true, following the troupe, marching in the field was like going out in the green to enjoy flowers, hunting in autumn, he was very happy.

……

The weather was fine that day, Hawkeye released a falcon, and Costin hovered in the sky for a long time, constantly changing its flight posture.

Hawkeye said: "On the cliff thirty miles ahead, I found the Eagle Fort. Outside the fort, there are about ten sentries patrolling and guarding."

Below the Eagle Fort, there are ten large tents, outside the tents are piled with grain and grass, there are dozens of carts, hundreds of mules and horses..."

Lynx asked curiously: "The location of Eagle Fort should still be in the primeval forest, why are there so many people?"

Hawkeye imitated Hai Dongqing's call and uttered an eagle cry.I saw Hai Dongqing flying away to the north, and it took an incense stick before returning.

Hawkeye looked at it, and frowned: "Falcon Qingyu said that in the middle of the forest ahead, all the trees have been leveled, and a road has been built, which can pass a large group of horses and horses."

Lynx wondered: "Half a year ago, I scouted the enemy's situation at the Eagle Fort, but I have never seen this road before.

Savage Valley has existed for thousands of years. It is not easy to open roads and build bridges here. I don't know how the rebels did it in a short period of time. "

The scholar pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Bailong said that the giant gorilla attacked us because someone was manipulating it behind the scenes. Since this person can manipulate the giant gorilla to attack us, he can also manipulate the giant gorilla to move mountains and build bridges.

Let me tell you that the rebel army was able to quickly open up a road in the Savage Valley with the assistance of the giant gorilla.

It's just that after all the calculations, Xiaobailong didn't expect that Xiaobailong had such a means, not only defeating the giant gorilla, but also subduing it.

Otherwise, once the rebels break through the terrain restrictions of Savage Valley, they will be able to reach Luoyang directly and approach the city.Repeat the scene of Cao Wei Deng Ai's raid on Chengdu. "

The scholar's words were poked and prodded, and everyone thought it was true.

Tie Hammer said: "Xiu Cai, plan to come out?"

The scholar said: "If my speculation is correct, the opponent can no longer use the giant gorilla to open up a road, and will withdraw soon.

At that time, we can sneak attack on Eagle Fort, leave us alive, and then disguise ourselves as rebel sentries and garrison Eagle Fort.

Eagle Fort is the only way for the rebels to go south. Even if the surprise attack in Savage Valley fails, the rebels will still pass by Eagle Fort.

In this way, once the rebels go south, we can fight out behind the rebels, pretend to be a large group of people, kill the rebels by surprise, and file their spirits.

Once the rebels send a large number of troops to turn around and strangle us, we will hide in the Savage Valley to avoid the pursuit of the rebel brigade. "

Everyone nodded.

Iron Hammer finally made a decision and said: "What Xiucai said is very true. Let's take a break and plan to capture Eagle Fort. Once the rebel army withdraws from Savage Valley, we will launch a surprise attack and capture Eagle Fort!"

　The scenery is different in autumn, Hengyang geese go without paying attention.The sound from all sides rises, Qianzhangli, long smoke and sunset close the city.

　　With a cup of turbid wine, Yan Ran was at a loss.Qiangguan was frosty on the floor, people were sleepless, and the generals had white hair and tears.
