NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 5 Killing the Fire-Tailed Squirrel
"That's really great. My wife is still pregnant with a child. If I were not around to take care of her when she came here, I would be worried to death."
"This game is somewhat conscientious. Since not all humans are involved, does it mean we have a chance to return to Blue Star?"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "This is a little hard to say. What if we, the young and middle-aged, are asked to explore the road to build infrastructure, and then when we are almost done, the old, weak, women and children will be thrown in!"
[Yiling]: "I think...it shouldn't be."
Many people feel a lot more relieved when they know that their wives, children, and parents don't have to come over and suffer. Otherwise, they would be so worried that they would not be able to live.
"Instead of breathing a sigh of relief for your parents, why not think about how you should chop down the trees next!"
"Looking for the treasure chest! I found a treasure chest today and opened a sharp stone axe. I can keep using it for a while."
Shu Lingyi also received a private message from Luo Zhiqing: "Yiyi, has the durability of your stone ax been exhausted?"
[Yiling]: "I've finished it, what about you?"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I haven't yet. I just walked back from the lake and plan to cut down the tree later."
[Yiling]: "I'm also going to go out to get some other food and see if I can pick some fruits or something."
As soon as she finished speaking, a message popped up on the screen.
[I received a gift from Qing Ben Zhiruo, please check it. 】
As soon as Shuling confirmed the receipt, he saw something like a black package suddenly appear in front of his eyes, and the package opened automatically.
Raspberry*15.
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Hey, I didn't cut down the tree, but I saw these fruits on the way to the lake, so I picked them!"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "One pill can only increase one point of satiety, which is better than nothing. It tastes sour and sweet. I washed it and can eat it directly!"
Shuling looked at the round and plump raspberries and felt warm in her heart: "Good sister, I will get you two stone jars to fill with water tonight!"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I'm waiting for your good news~"
The two ended their chat, and Shu Ling ate two raspberries. They were full of juice and exploded in his mouth as soon as he bit them open. The taste was sour and sweet, which was really delicious.
Then he put a handful of the remaining raspberries into the indoor warehouse, as well as the withered grass, wood, and resin, and went out with only the stone pickaxe and the copper axe.
The midday sun was a bit scorching, but Shu Lingyi did not dare to delay and walked towards the west. Looking to the west was a stretch of mountains.
Walking along the mountain road, she saw a small clump of bamboo before she had gone far!
Bamboo is a plant that grows in one piece. It looks like a small clump here, but in fact there are sixty or seventy bamboos, some thick and some thin.
Shuling picked two thicker bamboos, then picked up the copper ax and chopped them. The bamboo's health bar was only 30 points, so one strike with the broken copper ax in his hand was enough.
Bamboo*2.
Shu Ling looked at the bamboos she had received and took out one from her storage to take a look. They were indeed thick. Both of them were as thick as her calf.
"Hehe, it would be good to cut it into several pieces and use it as a homemade kettle!" Shu Ling thought happily, and then continued to move forward.
[There is an injured fire-tailed squirrel ahead. This may be one of the few good opportunities you have to kill a first-order monster. It depends on whether you can grasp it. 】
"Wow!" Shu Ling raised his eyebrows, his beautiful peach blossom eyes bloomed with brilliance, and he was eager to try.
She walked forward cautiously, holding the copper ax tightly in her hand, looking in all directions and listening in all directions to observe what was going on around her.
After about a few minutes, she saw a small squirrel that was only as high as her knees appearing in her field of vision, about six meters away from her.
[Fire-tailed squirrels: First-order monsters, they like to eat pine cones. Their tails are attached with the power of flames, and they can only live in fire-resistant pine wood. 】
[Health: 70, defense: 15, attack: 30, speed: 3. 】
Information about the fire-tailed squirrel appeared in the survival guide, including its numerical value: "This guy is a bit slow..."
[Can you believe this guy broke his leg and lost half of his life trying to pick his favorite pinecones? 】
Seeing the fire-tailed squirrel trudging forward holding two fruits, Shuling saw that it wanted to go back to its tree hole, so she chose to follow it from a distance, so that she could dig a squirrel hole by the way.
So it followed all the way, and the fire-tailed squirrel finally stopped under a thick pine tree. This pine tree was not ordinary, and the color was different from the pine trees next to it.
Shu Ling looked at it and prepared to climb the tree: "It looks like the tree hole is this one, so we can start..."
She kept an eye on the fire-tailed squirrel's movements, and then rushed out as fast as she could. When the fire-tailed squirrel noticed something was wrong, all the fire pine cones in his hand fell off.
Shu Lingyi showed no mercy, picked up the copper ax and chopped it down hard. One blow was not fatal. Although the fire-tailed squirrel lost its mobility, it quickly hit Shu Lingyi's hand with a flick of its tail.
Its tail was blazing with flames, and it burned so hard that Shu Ling suddenly retracted his hand in fright. The terrifying feeling of high temperature just now brushing against his arm was so frightening that Shu Ling almost lost his ability to hold the copper axe.
"Fuck... I'm scared to death. I'm scared to death." Shu Ling breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his hand. It was just that the sleeve was a little torn.
Since there was nothing wrong, Shu Ling immediately picked up the copper ax and went to finish it off. It took three consecutive blows with the ax to kill the fire-tailed squirrel completely.
Squirrel meat*5, fire pine tail*1, fire crystal core*1, lantern drawing*1, fire pine cone*2.
Shuling collected these things, then looked at the tree hole in the fire pine tree. She gritted her teeth and climbed up, intending to dig out the fire-tailed squirrel's bottom.
Pine cones*15, fire pine cones*3.
Shu Ling pulled at it for a long time, and then gave up after making sure it was gone. He slowly got down from the tree, and chopped down the pine wood in one fell swoop.
Fire pine wood*2.
"Today's harvest is still very rich, hehe~" Shu Lingyi looked at the dazzling array of new supplies in his carry-on space and smiled.
[If you don’t leave, you will be surrounded by other fire-tailed squirrels. 】
When Shu Ling saw Xiao Ai's reminder, he didn't dare to delay, but thinking that he had to make a few stone jars to fill with water, he looked around a few times.
She had seen how to make a stone jar in her dream. The first choice was to have a big stone. She glanced around and saw only two that met the conditions.
"Every one counts." Shu Ling put the two big stones into her pocket and looked at the fire-tailed squirrels coming out of the tree holes. She immediately ran home.
Shuling ran home without daring to go back. She could vaguely hear the angry voices of the fire-tailed squirrels behind her, and the high temperature that almost hit her back.
