survival in the wilderness

Chapter 465: Driving away the birds
The preliminary exploration work is completed, and the next step is to deal with the giant birds on the island.

Mining will inevitably require a large number of people to be on the island, and there is no way to avoid those birds.

Shi Zhi said directly: "Gather the people and kill all the birds, once and for all."

Bai Chen moved, "If you want to kill those birds at the minimum cost, it's best for the Xuan Hui to call in the Xuan practitioners. It's difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with these birds, and casualties are inevitable."

Seabirds can fly, but humans cannot. This is the biggest disadvantage.Those birds are so nimble and have sharp eyes that most people can't react in time.

When outsiders come to the island, they are a provocation in the eyes of the birds and are murderers who destroy their homes.

Since they are destined not to coexist peacefully, it is better to destroy them directly.

The two were talking, but Lin Yan didn't say a word.

Shi Zhi asked: "You don't agree to kill?"

"Can we kill them all? Those birds are flying around in flocks. Just look at the densely packed bird nests on those giant trees. How long will it take for us to kill them completely with our manpower?"

Shi Zhi was speechless. There were indeed a large number of birds, not counting the young ones.Although Xuanzhe is powerful, he cannot fly and cannot fight with birds in the air.

Bai Chen suggested: "Use poison. No matter how many birds there are, they still need to eat and drink water. Add poison to their food. Although they cannot kill them all, there is a high probability that most of them will be killed."

Lin Yan was sure that these two were ruthless people who would use any means to achieve their goals.

She said: "I don't agree with killing the birds. We haven't confirmed how big the island is. Countless birds live on the island, and we can't kill them all. It's better to find another way to clear a road to the tungsten mine. Can we and It’s certainly best for those birds to coexist peacefully.”

"Those birds are very ferocious. They kill people when they see them. How can they live in peace?" Shi Zhi felt that Lin Yan's thinking was too simple.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You have forgotten that Lan Yue and I are A-level mystics and can control our minds. Those birds are also living beings and have their own thoughts. Just control them with your mental power and drive them away from this area."

"With so many birds, it would be a fool's errand for the two of you to control them all. Besides, controlling them with mental power consumes a lot of money. Even if you and Lan Yue don't sleep, you won't be able to control a few birds in a day."

Shi Zhi hit the nail on the head and felt that this method would not work.

Bai Chen also said: "What he said makes sense. There are too many birds. If they fly higher, it will be difficult to implement mental control."

Lin Yan shook his head, "I didn't say I wanted to control all the seabirds. Capture the thief first and capture the king first. We don't even need Lan Yue to come over. We will work together to find the leading bird. We only need to control the leading bird and obey my orders." .”

After thinking for a few seconds, Shi Zhi said: "This method is feasible. Ethnic groups that live in groups usually have a leader."

Bai Chen: "Without further delay, we will go to the island tomorrow. We will have a meeting with someone later to arrange the next work."

"Okay." Lin Yan also wanted to make a quick decision and speed up the process.

The three of them went to deal with the flock of birds, and preparations for mining were also started, bringing hundreds of people into action quickly.

Landing on the island again, the three of them walked towards the dense woods, observing and looking for the leader of the bird flock as they walked.

Lin Yan's plan is that the leader of the bird flock will most likely live in the core area, and they will go deep into the center of the forest.

This time, the three of them carried half a month's worth of dry food with them and were ready for a long war.

Tall and lush trees cover the sky and the sun, and people walking among them can't even see the sky when they look up.

Lin Yan said as he walked: "We are looking for the biggest bird's nest. We can't tell which one is bigger. We have to climb a tree."

"I'll go." Shi Zhi did his job and climbed up the nearest giant tree neatly. The trunk was three or four meters thick.

Most of the trees here are like this. Walking among them, you will feel very small.

"What is that? It looks familiar." Bai Chen pointed at a clump of grass taller than a person. She felt like she had seen it somewhere before, and it was of high value.

Lin Yan glanced at it and said: "It does look familiar. It is Ju Sanqi. It is recorded in the medical books of the medical school. It can be found everywhere here, which is not a small gain."

"Chrysanthemum notoginseng grows well here and is widely distributed. The environment should be suitable for growth. It can be used to plant chrysanthemum notoginseng in the future."

In recent years, medical schools have developed rapidly. They have collected thousands of plants with medicinal value, purified and synthesized them using chemical methods, and produced hundreds of medicines.

The cultivation of medicinal plants has also begun to be promoted. After years of investigation and search, the Medical College has identified three drug cultivation bases.

With the popularity of hospitals and pharmacies, there is a huge demand for medicines.This island has a special environment and a vast area, so it can be used to cultivate medicinal materials.

Bai Chen looked at Ju Sanqi seriously, "My visual inspection is that it looks better. Your idea is feasible. I will go back and write to Feng Wenwen and ask her to send someone to conduct an on-site inspection."

"Okay, Feng Wenwen has done a lot in the medical school over the years. The good drugs currently in use were researched by her and Wen Xue. However, she is more interested in drug research and development, while Wen Xue is more focused on clinical applications. The two of them Collaborate with each other and make outstanding contributions.”

Bai Chen agrees with this, "Wen Xue is the chief physician of the alliance. In addition to clinical application research of drugs, she also leads a group of people to perform surgeries and has made significant contributions to the medical industry."

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that Wen Xue looked at Wen Wen's weakness and picked up the scalpel. It was as if she had changed into a different person. I once saw her operating on people, disemboweling them, and dripping with blood. She Not affected at all, calm in the face of danger, very calm.”

Bai Chen admired: "Wen Xue has indeed set a precedent, which is admirable."

Lin Yan felt the same way. She gradually moved out many medical books from the science and technology museum. Feng Wenwen and Wen Xue studied hard and went in different directions. They were the well-deserved founders of the medical field.

While the two were talking, there was a pop and Shi Zhi fell in front of them.

"Why did it fall? Where was the injury?" Lin Yan hurriedly checked. Shi Zhi's face turned pale and he couldn't hold up the mental shield, so he hurriedly pulled him into his protective shield.

As soon as he finished doing this, Lin Yan saw a snow-white heron swooping down and hitting the protective cover.

She subconsciously reached out and pulled Shi Zhi to avoid it. Luniao had no time to brake and made a big hole in the ground.

"Oh my God, this bird is probably stupid. It hit the ground straight. Is its head okay?"

Shi Zhi said feebly: "Stop watching the show. Let's evacuate quickly. This is not a place to stay for a long time."

Lin Yan and Bai Chen picked up Shi Zhi and ran away without saying a word.

They had heard it, the sound above their heads was getting louder and louder, and they might be surrounded if they didn't leave.

Judging from Shi Zhi's unfavorable start, it was obvious that his opponent was very strong. If he didn't run away now, it would be much later.

The three of them ran five miles away in one breath and found a hidden cave to hide.This hole was specially dug when they passed by it in case of emergency, but they didn't expect that it would be used just one day later.

Sitting slumped on the ground, Lin Yan took a few deep breaths and said, "Shi Zhi, what's going on? Are you injured? Going up a tree to see a bird's nest, why did it attract so many herons to chase after it." Shi Zhi looked weak, "I was careless. I thought that the mental protection shield would be foolproof, so I sneaked to the edge of the bird's nest and happened to be eye-to-eye with a heron. Before I could react, the heron's sharp black beak came towards my face. Spiritual The force protective shield immediately collapsed."

"Then, I could no longer hold up the protective cover, and I couldn't control the heron mentally. When I saw something was wrong, I hurriedly ran for my life. I was almost caught up by the heron when I was halfway up. I accidentally stepped on the air and fell down. "

Lin Yan raised his voice: "The mental power has failed? Or can Luniao restrain the mental power?"

The invincible spiritual power has always been a belief of the mysterious, but today it was broken.If Shi Zhi hadn't experienced it himself, who would have dared to believe it?

Bai Chen was shocked, "If we really restrain our mental power, we will be in danger. This area is a colony of egrets. Once discovered, we have no choice but to run away."

The three of them dared to go deep into the bird colony, relying on their mental power. Once they lost their reliance, they would lose their advantage.

Shi Zhi leaned on the cave wall and said weakly: "I think the mental power has not failed, especially since the egret can see through the mental power protective shield and destroy it."

Lin Yan decided immediately: "You recuperate first, and I'll go out and give it a try. I can use mental attacks, and maybe I can deal with herons."

Bai Chen immediately said: "I'll go too and cover you."

"No, Shi Zhi is injured. It's not safe to leave him here alone." Lin Yan flatly refused, "You two stay, don't worry, I'm just testing, I won't fight desperately."

The two watched helplessly as Lin Yan walked out of the cave alone.

Shi Zhi wanted to punch the wall in frustration, blaming him. If he hadn't been careless, he would never have let Lin Yan go into danger alone.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." Bai Chen saw that something was wrong with him and comforted him: "This was an accident. If it were me, the result would be like this. However, you also made a contribution by testing Lu. The difference between birds allows us to be prepared in the future.”

Shi Zhi smiled bitterly: "No need to comfort me, I'm not that fragile. I just got off to a bad start and I feel uncomfortable."

"You're not seriously injured. You'll be fine after taking medicine and you'll be fine in two days. Just take good care of yourself these days and don't think too much."

Lin Yan returned along the escape route. The herons that had been chasing him just now could not find their target and had dispersed.She looked up to find a bird's nest and climbed up the tree trunk.

Fortunately, there was a heron in the nest. She encountered the same embarrassing thing as Shi Zhi, staring at the heron with big eyes and small eyes.

Lin Yan's reaction was not slow, but the egret was faster, a pair of bird's eyes bursting with sharp light.

I just chased the enemy, but couldn't find the target. I came back very angry. I was about to close my eyes and rest, but I was disturbed again, and my anger immediately soared.

The sharp claws and sharp beak bring about gusts of wind.

Lin Yan dodged and took the opportunity to launch a mental attack.

It worked, and the egret's sharp eyes narrowed and became dull.

Just in case, fearing that the attack would be useless, she used her strongest attack from the beginning.

The sluggishness lasted for five seconds. Heron showed signs of waking up. Lin Yan continued, and the struggle gradually stopped.

After confirming that the mental attack was effective, Lin Yan spent a few minutes completely controlling the egret before leaving with peace of mind.

As soon as he entered the cave and met two pairs of staring eyes, Lin Yan smiled and said: "I know you are anxious, so I will tell you directly. The mental attack is effective, but it takes a little longer."

"This heron is indeed special. It is different from ordinary ferocious beasts. It has a certain resistance to mental power. It takes some effort to control it."

Shi Zhi asked: "Is it really useful? Please explain the testing process in detail."

By the time Lin Yan finished speaking, the two of them were completely convinced.

Shi Zhi murmured: "I'm still in this situation because I'm not strong enough."

"It's good to know. You have to practice hard in the future. If you encounter a heron again, it won't be so miserable. However, this heron is indeed special. If it hadn't been for this encounter, I really wouldn't have known that there were ferocious beasts in the wasteland that were harmful to the spirit. He has a certain degree of immunity, so it can be regarded as a reminder to us to send a message to Xuanhui immediately when we return."

"Okay, I will take care of it." Bai Chen responded immediately. This matter was of great importance and he wanted to send a letter to Xuan Hui as a reminder as soon as possible.

"Then shall our plan continue?"

"Of course, continue. With the characteristics of the herons, we have to let them relocate voluntarily. Relying on force to kill them is not the best solution." Lin Yan did not hesitate, "Wait until Shi Zhi recovers from his injuries and continue to find the leader of the herons."

"What I'm saying is that if the three of us can deal with these seabirds, there will be no need for soldiers to take risks and there will be fewer fearless sacrifices."

Shi Zhi continued: "My injury will heal soon, I promise it won't hold me back."

The three of them stayed in the cave for two days and went out again to find the leader of the herons.

This time they followed the same pattern and dug holes in advance for each section of the road.

I carefully avoided the herons and the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the jungle. Fortunately, the protective cover was effective against the latter, saving me a lot of trouble.

For ten days in a row, the three of them often raised their heads and their necks became stiff. The nests they saw were all similar, but no special heron was found.

The adult herons are huge in size, and each one looks very similar. If it weren't for Fat Bao's help, Lin Yan would really not be able to find the difference.

As for Shi Zhi and Bai Chen, they usually have bright eyes and clear hearts, but after watching similar herons for more than ten days, their eyes were dazzled.

When taking another break, Shi Zhi rubbed his stiff neck, "It's too torturous. If this continues, I won't be able to see the leader of Heron standing in front of me."

"Who says it's not the case? I see similar herons every day. The more I see them, the more they look the same." Lin Yan complained, "I thought this plan would take some time to complete, but I didn't expect it to be over. Half a month, nothing gained at all.”

Bai Chen was more realistic, "The dry food we have prepared will last us for another two days at most. Why don't we go back first and come back when we are fully prepared?"

"Aren't you afraid if you don't have enough dry food? If the ferocious beasts in the jungle can feed themselves, can they still starve to death?" Lin Yan was not worried about this at all. "However, we have to slow down. Continuing to search like this is not an option. Keep staring. It's going to make you blind, why don't you rest for two days before continuing."

I go out early every day and come back late every day. I am mentally tense and spinning for half a month, and my iron-clad body cannot bear it.

Lin Yan said: "The hole will be dug larger tonight. Let's rest here for two days."

The three of them worked hard and arranged around the cave. They planned to have a good sleep first, but they were really tired.
