Chapter 57 Trilobites

"I remember that there are many woods and hills beside the big lake. Hold on for a while, and there will be water at the big lake."

Li Yan comforted everyone.

The team moved on.

Soon, Li Yan saw a very huge ancient tree in front of him again.

This ancient tree was taller and stronger than other trees, so he stopped again and said to his tribe, "The trunk of this tree is so thick, I will climb up to see how far it is."

"Uh-huh."

The team stopped, and Li Yan immediately climbed up the big tree.

The big tree was very thick, covered with moss on the surface, and was very smooth. Li Yan took out the flying stone rope and threw it hard on the tree. The head of the flying stone rope was entangled in a branch of the tree.

One pull, it's tight, you can go up.

He pulled the rope and climbed to the branch with difficulty. There were many branches on this big tree, so Li Yan grabbed those branches and climbed up.

I finally climbed to the highest point and looked out from the dense tree trunks.

In the distance is a vast lake with an island covered with dense trees.

"Sure enough, it's not far away." Li Yan couldn't help but said, "It's just that there is still a distance."

Then he descended the tree.

As soon as it landed, Tamar over there happily handed him a shell filled with water, and said, "I found water. There is a small pond behind the tree."

"Pond?"

Li Yan was puzzled, so he ran to the back of the tree and found that there was really a small pond about two square meters behind the tree, and the water was very clear.

Wing, monkey, and stone are using shells to fill water by the water.

"Don't drink!" Li Yan quickly ran over to stop them, "Have you drank all this water?"

"No."

"not yet."

"Just about to drink, patriarch, why don't you drink first."

All three shook their heads.

"This water is stagnant water, drinking it will make you sick, so don't drink it!" Li Yan continued, "Maybe there are spores of those mushrooms in this water."

"what?"

"I can't even drink water, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, get me a hoe."

"Uh-huh."

After a while, Li Yan took the hoe and dug a hole at the edge of the pond. The water in the pond slowly seeped through the soil into the hole. The water in the hole was a bit cloudy, but most of the microorganisms had been filtered out. and harmful substances, it can now be drunk directly.

"The water has been filtered, and it's ready to drink now." Li Yan said.

The tribe didn't understand what he did, but they still chose to believe him, and everyone trusted him.

After drinking the water, everyone felt much more comfortable, and then filled the skin bags they brought with them with water.

And the three-headed beast and the newly tamed monkey were also led to this pit to drink the filtered water. Although the beast has strong resistance and is not afraid of drinking stagnant water, but because there are mushrooms here, Li Yan still kept an eye out. .

Wen Shi also said that every kind of mushroom here is useful, and proposed to collect some to take back, Li Yan agreed.

So everyone collected six bags of mushrooms, and those mutated mushrooms also collected some.

Then, everyone moved on.

time flies.
Everyone finally walked out of the mushroom grove, and the surrounding light also changed from dark to bright, and a gust of wind blew in, making it extremely cool.

It was hot outside the woods, and everyone was sweating profusely.

Wen Shi quickly took out some mutated green mushrooms, and said to everyone: "Everyone can eat some mutated green mushrooms, so that it won't be so hot."

"Uh-huh."

After eating some green mushrooms, everyone felt that their bodies were not so hot.

"water!"

"We passed."

Not far ahead was the huge mirror-like lake, and Li Yan hurriedly led the crowd there.

The shore of the great lake is surrounded by a yellow-yellow sandy beach, and many animal traces have been left on the sandy beach.

After several days of rushing, everyone was already stinking from suffocation, their bodies were all sticky, and everyone was very uncomfortable.

The water in this lake is very clear, and there are all kinds of fish in the water.

Everyone took off their leather gloves and jumped into the water happily to wash their bodies.

"what!"

"So cool!"

Li Yan stood in the water, picked up a ladle of water, splashed his sticky face, and cleaned the dirt on his face and hair.

Licking his lips.

"Pooh!"

“So salty!”

"Is this salt water?"

Salt water is not drinkable.

Others found that the lake water was actually salt water one after another, and they couldn't help being disappointed.

Li Yan then walked up to the crowd and said, "This water is salty, you can't drink it."

Pointing to the hill in the distance, he said: "There should be fresh water on the mountain, and where there is a lake, there must be fresh water flowing in."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

Although it is salt water, it can also wash the body and eliminate fatigue.

"Look!" Wen Shi who was at the side suddenly pointed to a place and said.

Everyone looked at it.

I saw a large oval beetle with a side length of half a meter and many knots swimming in the water. It had a brown body and a pair of tentacles on its head. It was arching the sand at the bottom of the water.

"Trilobite!"

Wen Shi hurried over, bent down and picked it up from the water. The trilobite didn't seem to be aggressive. After being picked up, it looked shining under the sunlight.

"Is this food edible?" Li Yan came over with interest, and lifted its body with his fingers, "It's very hard, I don't know how to eat it, maybe it needs to be broken open with a stone axe, or it can be eaten whole." Put it on the fire."

"Patriarch, this is a trilobite. After grinding its shell, you can get chitin. Soak the saddle with this chitin, which will make the saddle stronger and more durable." Wen Shixi said, "Its shell is very hard. It can also be made into armor. By the way, chitin is used to prepare witch medicine for beasts to eat. The skin of beasts will also become hard, which can increase the defense of beasts. Many tribes will collect this kind of chitin. This kind of carapace There are many uses of chitin, some insects also have this kind of chitin, but trilobites have more chitin.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yan even ordered: "Everyone, go around and see if there are any trilobites. Collect them all."

"Yes."

"Here, here's one."

"It's here too."

Soon, five people collected ten trilobites by the lake beach.

The trilobites were all piled up on the beach, turned upside down one by one, and the little claws on their abdomens were moving around, but it was difficult for them to move after leaving the water.

"How to deal with it?" Li Yan asked.

"Eat!" Wen Shi said, "We only want their shells."

"it is good!"

Everyone lit a fire on the beach, and then burned the trilobites to death one by one.

The structure of trilobites is a bit like that of shrimps, and they are easy to peel after being burned. Their shells are a bit thick, and people can only peel their shells with tools such as stone axes and stone adzes.

"They still have pearls?"

When Li Yan peeled off the third trilobite, he found a white pearl inside.

Pearls can be made into ornaments, and like shellfish, they can be used as currency for transactions in various tribes.

Kill ten trilobites, get a lot of trilobite shells, and three pearls.

The meat of the trilobite is white, and tastes a bit like shrimp meat. It is very delicious, and it is a bit salty to eat, but the meat of the trilobite is very small, but there are many internal organs, and the internal organs are all eaten by Dilophosaurus.

After eating the trilobites, the trilobite shells were tied to the back of the gradual new elephant, which was the most heavy-bearing dinosaur among the three dinosaurs.

Then, everyone set off along the beach and walked towards the hill in the distance.
