Douluo Dalu: Journey to infinity

Chapter 13: Wilderness Survival



Fortunately, Qianshui's physical strength and endurance were good enough, and he found a stream about half a day's journey from the starting point. The only flaw was that he vomited when Bibi Dong brought him here, so his stomach was empty now.

  On the way, he also kept collecting useful things, such as relatively dry fire fuel, which he stuffed into his clothes to keep it dry and to keep out moisture. He also collected some branches of suitable shapes.

  It was already afternoon when he and Bibi Dong arrived at the Xingdou Great Forest. He absorbed the spirit ring very quickly, but it also took a long time. When he reached the stream, the sky had begun to darken.

  Qianshui was obviously inexperienced, but he also realized this. The uncertainty of time made him pay special attention to the ambient light. Because this was before the industrial society, even in Wuhun City, there would not be things like the City That Never Sleeps that were common in the previous life.

  As soon as night falls, it is pitch black!

  Therefore, Qianshui must make a fire before the sun sets, otherwise he will be completely swallowed up by the darkness of the Star Forest at night and be in a completely unknown environment.

  This kind of thing is something that the cautious Qianshui is absolutely unwilling to face! The unknown equals the uncontrollable!

  So he had to start a fire as quickly as possible and build a shelter to survive this first and most dangerous night!

  "A dry short round stick is added to a dry board. A slit is cut into the board and several marks are made where the surface and the slit meet to form a drill hole."

  Qianshui knew the principle of making fire by rubbing two sticks together, but he had never tried it. He could only imitate the methods of the great masters in his memory.

  There are many ways to make fire by rubbing two sticks together. The most direct way is to rub them with your hands. This method is the simplest, but not smart at all!

  "It's impossible to rub it with hands." So Qianshui used a slightly bent branch and strips of cloth torn from his clothes to make a short bow to facilitate the practice.

  Then he found a palm-sized wooden block and placed it on top of the friction stick as a friction plate.

  "I hope it's okay!" Qianshui started to make fire by rubbing two sticks together for the first time in his previous life and this life!

  With both feet on the wooden board cut by the dagger, and with the left hand holding the friction plate, the right hand pulled the small bow back and forth. The buzzing friction sound was like sawing wood, and at this time, the sunset was no longer visible in the sky, and the sun was about to completely disappear on the horizon!

  Fortunately, Qianshui was lucky. After traveling to Douluo, he felt some soreness in his arm for the first time. But the final result was good, and he got the carbon sparks produced by frictional heat.

  Regardless of the sweat on his forehead, Qianshui quickly poured the fire on the kneaded tinder, lifted the tinder above his head, and blew gently on it.

  This situation is just like worshiping a great god. Is this worshiping fire and water?

  As the white smoke gradually dissipated, flames rose!

  Finally! Qianshui ignited the fire!

  He quickly put up small branches, tore off any extra, useless strips of cloth from his clothes, expanded the fire, and then put the big logs on top.

  "Ahhh! It's so fucking difficult! I dare not even breathe!" Maintaining the kneeling posture, Qianshui couldn't help but fall backwards, completely disregarding his image.

  Feeling the warmth and joy brought by the flame, Qianshui somewhat understood what human beings looked like at the beginning of evolution! The brain and hands brought everything, so there was no such thing as a god-like emperor!

  "I want a lighter, absolutely a lighter! ..."

  Qianshui muttered something to himself while adding firewood and silently creating a dry area with dead grass and leaves.

  Qianshui would definitely not sleep that night. Besides, he could practice instead. He needed to maintain the fire, and he didn't dare to lose consciousness. Because this was the Star Forest!

  Soon, Qianshui sat in front of the fire and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Holding the dagger given by Bibi Dong in his hand, Qianshui began to summarize what he had gained today while watching the fire burn.

  "The Netherworld Spirit Cat~ the inherited martial spirit of the Xingluo Zhu family. Zhu Zhuqing should not be born yet! If it were a normal novel, could this be the starting point of fate?" It's really fun to be so bold!

  Qianshui carefully felt the spirit skill, from its release to its effect, and then to its dissipation. He probably understood what it was!

  "This is a way of using the soul power of a soul beast in a concrete form. It is engraved on the external form of a soul ring after death, and then absorbed by the soul master.

  Soul masters use soul rings to break the shackles on their martial souls so they can continue to practice.

  The spirit ring will also add some of the spirit beast's characteristics, allowing the martial spirit to also have these characteristics."

  After silently analyzing the rules of adding martial souls to spirit rings, Qianshui finally truly understood the process, and the next step would be easy.

  "It's just a way of using soul power. Why do I need a soul ring? Can't I just operate it myself?"

  It's easier said than done. The specific way of using soul power is a skill created by a specific soul beast over the years. Soul skills belong to the principle of taking what you need and using it as you like.

  This is an advantage, but the disadvantages are also obvious. After all, it is external. To put it bluntly, it has plundered the soul beast's years of cultivation.

  This does not belong to me, and I cannot fully control it. I can only rely on the spirit ring as a skill. How can I walk my own path and achieve higher achievements? ?

  The three greatest masters of the time are the best examples, Qian Daoliu and Poseidon can only reach level 99 by relying on the divine test.

  As for Tang Chen, he only relied on developing the way to use the Clear Sky Hammer and using skills other than his spirit ring to strengthen himself, and in the end he went the furthest.

  Qian Daoliu and Poseidon were locked at level 99 and could not make any progress! Admittedly, this was limited by the duties of the great priest, but it was still a small scale.

  …

  Qianshui spent the whole night using his soul skills continuously, trying to understand the operating logic of the ghost possession and recover his soul power.

  "Damn it, this thing is not an ability used by the body following a certain operating logic, but it is directly emitted by the spirit ring and then acts on the body! But what are offensive skills?

  Using a spirit ring with an uncarved template to control the body and attack? That doesn't make sense!"

  Qianshui, who didn't understand why, was determined to get to the bottom of things and kept trying!

  Unfortunately, there is no result tonight~

  …

  Early the next morning, Qianshui stood in the cool morning light, with dew on her messy hair.

  Qianshui couldn't figure it out, and couldn't sit still in the second half of the night. She kept scratching her head and pacing back and forth. As a result, her originally smooth hair became a mess, and she also had dark circles under her eyes that she had never seen in her life.

  "This shouldn't be the case!" He added another soul skill to himself, but to no avail.

  There is no other way but to put aside this matter that I have no clue about for the time being.

  Qianshui added a pile of firewood to the fire to prevent it from extinguishing, washed up briefly in the stream, picked up the short stick that he had cut yesterday, and went out to look for food.

  To be honest, you should not eat any plants or animals in the forest. Not only can you easily get sick, but the dangerous bacteria can also make you seriously ill.

  Fortunately, with the bonus of soul power, Qianshui has enough mobility and there are some fish in a relatively flat area where the stream forms not far away.

  Qianshui, who knew the principle of light refraction, quickly used his wooden stick to insert a strip of it.

  "Don't mention it, my reaction speed is really good! It's a pity that I didn't have this ability in my previous life, otherwise it would be a show-off skill!"

  Running quickly towards the camp, Qianshui was extremely hungry. You know, he was only 6 years old and was still growing!

  However, eating must be done in style! Eating raw meat and drinking blood? Not to that extent.

  Remove the scales and gills, gut it, wash it, and put it on the rack to roast it by the fire! That's the tone! I can't accept it if I pick it up and chew it directly.

  This kind of thing is already a piece of cake for me. I was an expert in cooking in my previous life. Although I can't reach the level of a master chef, at least my picky taste can handle it.

  Chinese people do not have the habit of not eating internal organs like the foreigners in survival movies. Qianshui will still eat edible parts such as fish bubbles.

  Without savoring the unseasoned fish for too long, after eating and drinking, Qianshui began a new day of his training plan in the Star Forest.
