Chapter 19 We can’t stay in this camp
“Butterfly, how are the bark bags made here?”
I taught Butterfly and the others how to make bark bags after dinner yesterday. Basically before going to bed, Butterfly and the others had completed making the first bark bag.
To put it bluntly, it depends on how efficiently they improve their proficiency.
To be honest, without the influence of knowledge threshold, he believes that the learning efficiency of primitive people is higher than that of many modern people.
Take Butterfly and the others as an example. When teaching them how to make things, their seriousness is clearly visible to the naked eye.
And their seriousness is completely different from that of modern people. Their seriousness carries a kind of "all-or-nothing" consciousness.
This matter has no retreat for them, and it is directly related to their life and death.
So every time they do something, they will devote themselves to it!
Taking a bark bag made by Butterfly and the others, Zhou Xu inspected it roughly.
To put it simply, it is a bit rougher than what he made, and it is a matter of manual skills, but for basic use, there is no problem.
"Well done, everyone has learned it, right?"
Facing the question, all five members of the crafting team, including Butterfly, nodded.
"Very good, from now on, you two are responsible for continuing to make this bark bag. Butterfly, you three, come with me to learn new things."
Polishing stone axes is undoubtedly a part of The scope of manual work is more time-consuming and energy-consuming.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, they all have at least one hand, right?
Under this premise, stone axes are typical consumable items. Even if the polished stone ax is more durable, its durability is limited, and spare stone axes must also be taken into consideration.
In this way, Zhou Xu roughly estimated that forty stone axes would be needed in the early stage.
The efficiency cannot be improved by just one or two people.
“Let’s do it step by step. Let’s start by picking stones, just this kind of stone...”
No nonsense, the whole teaching starts directly.
The task of polishing a stone ax is not difficult in itself. In terms of complexity, it may not be as complicated as weaving a bark bag.
But this is more important now, so after having a certain number of bark bags, Zhou Xu directly asked the crafting team to focus on polishing stone axes.
One afternoon is enough for each of them to complete one.
I don’t know if Butterfly’s talent for dexterity is at work. After the initial unfamiliarity, Butterfly quickly got started, and the stone ax he finally polished, upon closer inspection, turned out to be even better than his polished stone axe. are even better.
If it weren't for the shortcomings in strength and physical strength of a woman, the entire production efficiency would probably exceed him.
“Hiss——”
This made Zhou Xu feel complicated.
In the long run, it would be a good thing to have such a good person to solve their tribe's equipment problem.
But as the leader of the tribe, he was overtaken by Butterfly as soon as he turned around after he made the stone axe. Wouldn't that undermine his majesty as a leader?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu suddenly coughed dryly.
"Butterfly, you have done a good job. I will leave this task to you from now on!"
Escape is shameful, but it is useful!
【Damn, I can’t stay in this camp. 】
Early the next morning, Zhou Xu simply followed Dashan and the others to the black forest to carry out an exploration mission.
They had basically finished exploring this peripheral area. After separating from the hunting team in charge of Fei Que, they walked directly towards the depths of the black forest.
During this period, including Dashan, the five people currently in the collection team have been equipped with newly polished stone axes. Only Zhou Xu, the sixth person, is still holding a bone spear in his hand. At this point in time, there are only five polished stone axes, and this is just one of the reasons.
In Zhou Xu’s view, the emergence of stone axes cannot completely replace the status of bone spears.
After all, the former is a short-handled weapon and the latter is a long-handled weapon. Their positioning in battle is fundamentally different.
As a modern man without much combat experience, he still feels that the attack range that long-handled weapons can provide him makes him feel more secure compared to dangerous short-handled weapons.
At this moment, Zhou Xu, who was walking in the dark forest and protected in the middle, could feel that Dashan and the others were in a relatively relaxed state.
Just a few days are enough for them to have a preliminary understanding of this area.
The surroundings are all wasteland, and the strange black trees in the woods are also bare and lifeless.
Although there is a lake nearby, because it is a salt water lake, it is impossible for animals to come here to drink water.
There was nothing but tenacious bugs and rats.
To a certain extent, it is quite safe, but it is not very suitable for human beings to survive for a long time.
According to Zhou Xu's thinking, if the tribe wants to develop, he must first obtain stable food, and hunting alone will definitely not work.
Not to mention that you can only eat rats and bugs here.
What does he need? He needs to farm! Start farming civilization!
But looking at the desolation of the nearby land, you can tell: What crops can he grow in this poor place?
After all, he hasn’t found any crops yet!
So his tribe will never stay here forever. In order to survive, they must move.
But certainly not now!
Their main task now is to store a certain amount of food, and at the same time explore as much as possible within their capabilities to find a suitable transfer location.
Instead of just starting the transfer without thinking about it.
[Eye of Insight]
Looking at the dark woods in front of me, I remembered that yesterday at the altar, he discovered the existence of the mantra through the 'Eye of Insight', with a desire to try it. Zhou Xu directly activated his mantra and observed his mentality.
At this glance, although he did not see any strange light group, a scene in the dark forest through the many black trees caught his attention.
【That's...】
"Da Shan, let's go over there. There seems to be something over there."
Zhou Xu used his mantra and did not avoid Dashan and the others. Therefore, Dashan and the others believed in his instructions without saying a word. He said and moved in the direction he pointed.
After going almost two to three hundred meters deep, gradually, a huge crack in the ground began to appear within the field of vision of Dashan and others.
"Leader?"
Dashan and the others who discovered this crack in the ground were obviously nervous. At the same time, they subconsciously looked back at Zhou Xu, waiting for him to give the order.
"Don't be nervous. This kind of ground crack does not look like it is man-made. It should be caused by crustal movement."
Although I don't know what the 'crust movement' in their leader's words means, these words It also had some comforting effect on them.
While speaking, Zhou Xu, who seemed to have discovered something, waved his hand, signaling Dashan and the others to follow him.
After getting closer for a while, he found the correct position and relied on the power of the 'Eye of Insight' to look towards the crack in the ground.
The dark environment on the ground did not have much impact on him.
As his vision deepened, huge silk nets soon came into view, giving him an ominous premonition.
At this moment, a huge and ferocious figure burst into his sight on one of the silk nets!
