The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Ji Cheng did not comment on Hua Hexiu's questioning, but just put a branch next to the pit as a mark, and then took Hua Hexiu to hide in another place that was more hidden but where the branch could be seen.

Not long after, a "plop" sound came from the other side. Ji Cheng immediately took Hua Hexiu out and came to the marked pit. He saw that the thin layer of branches and soil on top had collapsed. A rabbit was in the pit, and the branch that Ji Cheng sharpened and stood inside had pierced its body.

Ji Cheng easily fished out the rabbit, and then processed the rabbit skin and internal organs. This rabbit was his lunch today. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and the two brothers Hua Hexiu were stunned.

Xiu murmured, "Can the prey really come out of the pit?"

Hua's brain was smarter. He immediately patted his useless brother and turned to Ji Cheng and asked, "Ji, what is this? How did you do it? Can you teach us?"

He said anxiously, "We can trade the prey with you!!"

Hua knew very well the advantages and disadvantages of himself and Xiu in hunting. They were very strong in combat, but their speed was often not fast enough. If they could use this thing made by Ji Cheng when hunting, they would not have to worry about not being able to catch up with the prey!

Ji Cheng said, "This kind of thing is called a trap. Today, time is limited, and my personal strength is also limited, so it is made roughly. If it is set up carefully, it is not difficult to catch large prey."

Hua and Xiu's eyes were obviously brightened.

"As for teaching you..." Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after we finish the business."

After that, Hua and Xiu were obviously much more serious on the way to find water sources.

Ji Cheng sat on the elephant's back, and his spiritual power was constantly dissipating along with the air. Although this body was born useless and could not practice, the spiritual energy in this small world was sufficient, which was enough to rely on his spiritual power.

Anyway, his sea of ​​consciousness was vast enough, so he could still afford this consumption.

Finally, under Ji Cheng's guidance, until the evening, they finally heard the sound of gurgling water in the distance.

Without Ji Cheng's guidance, Hua directly ran towards the place where the sound of water came.

In front of them was a small waterfall. It can be seen that due to the drought in recent days, the flow of this waterfall is not particularly large, but Hua Hexiu still couldn't help but brighten his eyes, and the next second he was about to run to the pool under the waterfall.

"Wait." Ji Cheng stopped him.

Hua Hexiu's footsteps paused, but he was obviously puzzled by Ji Cheng's reminder.

Ji Cheng was a little helpless: "Look at the bottom of the pool."

Hua Hexiu finally focused and looked carefully at the pool under the waterfall, and finally found that the water in the pool looked dark green and cool, but in fact... there were crocodiles underneath! ! !

At this time, the crocodiles also heard the movement outside the pool. Several of them half-surfaced and looked at the three uninvited guests with their small eyes.

A sense of crisis made Hua Hexiu directly transform into animal form - if the crocodiles pounced on them, they should be able to crush several of them to death with their weight...

Ji Cheng, who was standing next to them and was almost stepped on, said: "..."

He jumped away swiftly, climbed directly onto Hua's back, pulled Hua's ear, and pointed in another direction: "Go there."

Hua Hexiu cautiously bypassed the crocodile pool and walked step by step towards the upstream of the waterfall in the direction pointed by Ji Cheng.

Now they saw a rolling river.

The small waterfall was a tributary of the river, and the river had another tributary extending out, which happened to extend in the direction of the Aludulu tribe.

However, probably because of the dry season, it was obvious that the water level of this river was not as good as in previous years, and most of the riverbed was exposed, and the tributary leading to the Aludulu tribe had even dried up.

This is probably the reason why the small rivers near the Aludulu tribe dried up.

Ji Cheng jumped off Hua's back and walked to the tributary. He finally saw the situation carefully: not only did the water level drop and the silt accumulation block the tributary river, but there were also stones and wood that rolled down from nowhere, mixed into a natural plug, directly blocking the river. Only occasionally a little water flowed through the silt, but such a little water was not even enough to form a puddle.

Not to mention that it had to flow through such a long route to reach the Aludulu tribe.

Hua and Xiu had turned back into human form. Seeing this scene, their expressions were very solemn.

Although they had no knowledge of hydrology, seeing the river dry up and the riverbed dry up, even if they didn't know that this was most likely the tributary connecting the ditches at the entrance of the tribe, they would have a feeling of withering and dying that was almost empathetic.

However, while Ji Cheng looked solemn, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, at least there is a connected river channel. The next thing they have to do is to clean up the silted river channel. This project is much smaller than digging a new river channel by hand.

But it is late today. It is obviously not a wise behavior to work overnight in a primitive society without lighting. It is also not advisable to walk through the forest again to return to the tribe.

The two brothers Hua and Xiu were originally prepared to take a risk and transform into beasts to take Ji Cheng back, but Ji Cheng did not reveal his intention to return. Instead, he asked them to pick up some dry branches and leaves in the forest.

It is the dry season now, and it is not difficult to find dry branches and leaves. After a while, Hua and Xiu came back with a large pile.

Ji Cheng picked out a few suitable pieces and took them out separately, and then piled up the remaining dead leaves and other things, and then took out the pieces of wood he had just picked out. The softer ones were placed on the dead leaves as drill plates, and the harder ones were slightly sharpened at one end as drill shafts. Then he handed the drill shaft to Hua and instructed him to quickly rub the drill shaft on the small hole of the drill plate! [Note]

Hua was a little confused but still did it. In addition, Ji Cheng asked Xiu to slightly fix the drill plate on the side to prevent Hua from rubbing the drill plate directly due to poor craftsmanship. At the same time, Ji Cheng approached the drilling position and blew gently beside Hua when he rubbed the drill shaft quickly.

With a click, a cluster of small flames suddenly lit up.

Hua and Xiu were startled and instantly threw away the drill plate and drill shaft in their hands and almost ran away. Ji Cheng was quick-witted and picked up a spare dead branch from the side to fiddle with the flames, so that the fire was completely ignited.

Hua Hexiu walked back after the flames had been stably jumping in the dim sky. The two tiptoed, wanting to reach out and test the bonfire but not daring to: "... Is this... fire?"

Ji Cheng nodded calmly beside him.

Hua Hexiu looked at Ji Cheng as if he was looking at a monster: "Can you... make a fire?"

Ji Cheng nodded calmly again.

Hua Hexiu's expression became particularly interesting.

Ji knew how to dig canals and make traps, but that was fine. Hua thought about the trap before and found that he could understand the logic and principles. If he thought about it carefully, he might be able to make something similar.

But... why did Ji even know how to create fire? !

This is fire! Fire is regarded as the most important resource by their Aludulu tribe! It is obviously effective in keeping warm and driving away wild animals, but it cannot be taken out of the tribe even for hunting. It must be carefully kept in the cave and cannot be taken out!

Hua Hexiu even suspected: Maybe even the beast god doesn't know how fire was born?

Why would this skinny and weak Ji, who doesn't even have a beast form, know?

For the first time, Hua Hexiu thought: Maybe the beast god doesn't know as much as Ji.

Ji Cheng didn't seem to care about the shock of the two brothers at all, and calmly ordered: "This fire will burn all night, these branches may not be enough, you go pick some more."

Now the weather is dry, in order to avoid the danger of setting fire to the mountain, Ji Cheng put the fire near the edge of the forest, but in fact it is still a certain distance from the trees, and there is also a river next to it. If something really goes wrong, it is more convenient to let Hua Hexiu turn into a beast and use his nose to suck water and spray it out to put out the fire.

Hua Hexiu was still in shock, and he responded in a daze, and got up and walked into the forest.

Ji Cheng warned, "Don't go too far."

After a pause, he said, "Catch a rabbit or some other small animal if possible."

Hua and Xiu nodded again, obediently like elementary school students who listen to their parents - although there is no elementary school in the orc world yet - and then walked into the forest completely.

It was not completely dark yet, and Ji Cheng still had a fire, so he was not worried that the two brothers would encounter any danger.

When it was completely dark, Hua and Xiu came out of the forest again.

Xiu was holding a bunch of dead branches in his arms, and Huai was holding a bloody rabbit in his hands. Judging from the shape and position of the rabbit's wound, it was likely that he had learned Ji Cheng's method of dealing with rabbits.

Ji Cheng took the rabbit and instructed Hua to skin the rabbit and wrap it with a wide leaf, and then went to the river to dig some wet mud, evenly spread it on the leaf, and then buried it directly under the fire.

When the soil ball was dug out and smashed with a stone, the roasted rabbit meat was exposed.

Although there was no seasoning, the whole rabbit was not handled particularly well, and because the wet mud was not applied particularly well, some parts of the rabbit meat were burnt and some parts were not fully cooked, but it was roasted after all, and both the safety and taste were much better than raw meat.

Hua and Xiu, who had eaten cooked food for the first time in their lives: "!!!"

Xiu almost wolfed down the whole rabbit, and he felt that the delicious tree leaves he had eaten today became dry and hard to swallow, and the raw meat he had eaten before became a waste of time - he also secretly glanced at Hua, after all, they were brothers, and Xiu could see at a glance that his brother had the same idea as him.

The just roasted and peeled rabbit meat was still very hot, but Xiu couldn't wait to finish it.

He slowly swallowed the last bite of rabbit meat: "Aji, do you have any surprises that I don't know about."

Ji Cheng: "?"
