Chapter 937: Chapter 239: Taming the White Tiger, Refining the Divine Pill
This place is best where these wild beasts can’t reach.
Chen Jie thought, finally spotting a very secluded place, where there was a small cave.
Chen Jie looked at the cave and thought it wasn’t bad.
However, such a wild cave might already have an owner.
Chen Jie thought and reached out to take two gun shafts from the Iron Ring, twisting the screw in the middle.
It became a long spear, Fire Dragon Spear!
With the spear in hand, Chen Jie walked directly into the cave.
Soon, there was a clanging sound from inside the cave, and the next moment, a python was seen pinned to the cave wall by Chen Jie with the spear, hanging down.
Seeing this, he didn’t rush to dismember the giant python but instead went outside to the only water source in the area.
This water source is the only water source in the Mist Forest, where all animals basically drink water.
It was also the place where Chen Jie and others entered.
Chen Jie needed to refine Elixir, and refining this Warm Nourishing Pill would take some time; he might not be able to go out in the short term, so he had to be fully prepared.
Thus, a water source is indispensable.
Chen Jie went out, walked along the forest, while looking to see if there was any tool to hold water.
As the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves, and Chen Jie quickly found gourd vines among a bush.
After searching a bit, Chen Jie saw about ten large gourds, which were already ripe.
Seeing this, Chen Jie thought, isn’t this an excellent water container?
Chen Jie picked the gourds, used the materials on the spot, tore some vines, tied everything together, and took them back to the cave.
Then he found some dead trees outside, made them into firewood, got some pine oil from pine trees, and found some soft grass, then he tied several torches directly using this firewood.
Soaked them with pine oil.
After preparing all these, firewood and torches were taken into the cave.
Then Chen Jie lit the firewood and torches.
The whole cave was lit up instantly.
Chen Jie placed some hay he brought back in a dry part of the cave, making a simple bed.
At this point, Chen Jie brought over the big gourds he retrieved, used the Chrysalis Blade to cut off the gourd tops, hollowed out the seeds, creating a large water gourd.
Once all these gourds were ready, Chen Jie used vines to tie them together and went to the area where the animals drank water.
Filled all eight large gourds with water and carried them back.
After finishing all of this, night fell, and Chen Jie stretched lazily, searching outside for a large stone to block the cave entrance.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t such a large stone, so Chen Jie could only find several smaller stones to make a simple protection at the cave entrance.
He also found some wooden sticks, sharpened one end, and inserted them into the cave entrance as a fence.
Thus, a simple shelter was successfully built, and Chen Jie felt a bit like Robinson Crusoe at this moment.
Isn’t this just a survival on a deserted island?
After this series of busy preparations, Chen Jie was ready. Refining Elixir might take one or two days, so he could only stay here for those days.
Rubbing his hungry stomach, Chen Jie picked up his Chrysalis Blade.
He came to the wall, where a giant python was still pinned by the Red Dragon Spear.
At this time, the python was pinned by its head, its eyes staring fixedly at Chen Jie, as if accusing Chen Jie, you hairless monkeys are too much.
You took my nest, cost me my life, and now you want to eat me. Is there any justice? Any Royal Law?
To this, Chen Jie responded that it’s the survival of the fittest; the weak are just a dish on the strong’s menu, weakness is the original sin.
Slash~
The sharp Chrysalis Blade split open and cut through the snake’s belly instantly, and the internal organs, except for the snake gall, were all discarded aside.
Then Chen Jie skillfully skinned the python.
With the Chrysalis Blade, he sliced a large piece from the snake’s tail.
Then Chen Jie found a wooden stick, sharpened it, skewered the snake meat, and placed it over the flames to roast.
Midway, Chen Jie also took out salt, some spices, and cooking oil from the storage ring.
These things were always kept in Chen Jie’s storage ring in case he got stuck somewhere without food.
At this moment, Chen Jie waved his hand again, and a silver lunchbox was taken from the storage ring.
It was the oldest kind of lunchbox, and Chen Jie originally wanted to use aluminum, but at this time, there were no readily available aluminum products, and with the underdeveloped industry, aluminum products commonplace in later generations were non-existent, so Chen Jie could only make a lunchbox out of silver.
Opening it, it was filled with various bottles and jars of Elixirs, and even some needles and thread.
Chen Jie’s storage ring space was limited, so after clearing out some useless books, the remaining space was efficiently used for daily necessities and weapons.
At this point, Chen Jie waved his hand again, followed by a large fifty-pound bag of rice appearing in his hand.
Chen Jie scooped out some rice, placed it in the silver lunchbox, then poured some water, covered it with the lid, and put it over the fire to cook a lunchbox of rice.
Someone asked, why not wash the rice, and Chen Jie explained that it was wilderness survival, so there’s no need to be so particular…
Thus, Chen Jie was making rice on one side and grilling snake meat on the other. Soon, the whole cave was filled with the aroma of food.
