Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 19 Warm Pants Recipe

"Snapped!"

As the pickaxe fell, the hard frozen soil under his feet actually softened.

Ice Cube +1

Liu Hen's mind moved. It is possible to collect ice cubes from the soil?
That’s great. I was worried that there was no ice nearby, but now I don’t have to worry about that.

He continued to swing the pickaxe, and a small piece of soil under his feet disappeared, leaving a small pit.

[Soil +10]

Every time the pickaxe falls, a small piece of frozen soil in front of you will disappear, and some ice cubes can also be collected.

But soon the ice grid was full, so that every time the pickaxe fell, in addition to collecting ten pieces of soil, there also appeared a lot of dirty broken ice.

When a hole one meter long, wide and ten centimeters deep appeared in front of him, the only remaining space backpack grid was full.

Liu Hen then took out all the soil and threw it away. Then, he simply put all the 600 pieces of wood that he had left behind into the fuel tank of the bonfire to make room.

The burning time increased by 6,000 minutes at once. Combined with the previous 400 pieces of wood, even though more than half an hour had passed, the remaining time was nearly 10,000 minutes.

That is more than one hundred and sixty hours.

You won’t have to worry about the bonfire going out for several days.

At this time, the monsters around seemed to calm down a lot, but because he was worried about angering the dark creatures again, Liu Hen gave up the method of throwing things to kill the monsters and escaping.

That method is too risky because monsters are not completely without long-range attack methods.

Some mutated monsters also have long-range attack capabilities, although the number of such mutated monsters is very small.

Moreover, the light of the campfire was too conspicuous in the darkness. There were only four-armed monsters now. It would be disastrous if it attracted six-armed or even mutated eight-armed monsters.

It is safer to dig a tunnel.

"Just treat it as an escape route. You can seal the exit here later and dig through it when needed."

Liu Hen comforted himself in this way.

"Clap clap clap..."

As he continued to swing the Pickaxe, the pit in front of him became deeper and deeper, visible to the naked eye.

In order to accommodate the body's rotation, he dug the hole into a shape that was one meter wide and two meters long.

The hole extends downwards by ten centimeters almost every twenty seconds, and thirty centimeters per minute.

Even though some time had to be spent throwing away the soil to make room, the pit was already three meters deep after a quarter of an hour.

This is also because there is no iron ore here, otherwise the excavation depth would definitely be greatly reduced.

After Liu Hen threw away the soil again, he returned to the pit and began digging horizontally, and his body gradually disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

"If there is any danger, jump down." He said to the small black stone above.

"Yes, sir." Black Stone, who was standing beside the campfire at the cave entrance, nodded seriously.

She was trembling in her heart as she looked at the monsters around her whose numbers were slowly increasing.

Since the fire is always there, and monsters usually wander around, once other monsters wander over and see the fire here, they will be attracted here.

Therefore, more and more monsters will gather together. Without hot weapons, it is unrealistic to kill these monsters by throwing stones.

Especially since there are no stones here, only soil. Even if it is frozen soil, the attack power is not enough. At most, it can kill a two-armed monster, but it is useless against a four-armed monster.

This method will only anger the monsters again, and it would be unfair if they were killed by a self-explosion.

"Fortunately, Master has this magical way of digging holes, otherwise we would be dead!" She secretly rejoiced, and at the same time, she admired her Master even more.

Time passes slowly.

Even though stones were always dug up later, the speed of collecting stones was the same as that of collecting soil, with one pickaxe collecting ten stones, so the speed did not decrease.

So, almost every hour, the tunnel would extend twelve meters towards the cave shelter.

The soil and stones piled up outside were getting more and more, but the monsters would also climb up the pile of soil and stones, as long as they didn't get within five meters.

Ten hours later, it was already late at night.

Liu Hen, who was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, went back outside again. Suddenly, the cold wind outside made his lower body tremble.

"This... the temperature outside is probably already minus fifty degrees Celsius, isn't it?"

He felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but look at the black stone.

Fortunately, because it was next to the campfire, the little black stone was not frozen.

He threw away the dug stones again and was about to cook some wood cake porridge to fill his stomach when he suddenly saw a mutant monster with heads all over its body crawling up the pile of earth and rocks.

"Sir, it's a mutant monster..." Xiao Heishi's face changed drastically.

"come on in!"

Liu Hen quickly put the small black stone into the cave.

Just at this moment, the monster that was more than three meters tall and covered with heads suddenly shot out a head.

"Flying Head Barbarian?!"

He quickly put away the bonfire and hid in the pit.

There was a huge explosion outside, and at the same time, a large number of monsters suddenly boiled over.

Without the protection of the bonfire, the monsters that had already gathered to about three or four hundred suddenly rushed forward recklessly.

Inside the pit, Liu Hen hurriedly moved towards the tunnel with Xiao Heishi, while waving the pickaxe frantically to dig the area above his head.

"Crash..."

As he continued digging, some of the unstable soil and rocks fell down, blocking his retreat and also blocking the monsters that jumped into the pit to chase him.

Finally, after moving forward for fifty or sixty meters in one breath, the monsters were completely blocked because the tunnel behind them collapsed.

"I originally wanted to use this as one of the escape tunnels, but plans are not as good as changes!"

Liu Hen felt a little regretful: "But it's good that we're safe now. Now we just need to dig a tunnel under the cave shelter and we can get out."

Because the inhabitants have been surviving in darkness for a long time, their eyes have adapted to the darkness, so even in this underground tunnel, they can barely see the outline of the environment within ten meters.

Because the entrance and exit were blocked by collapsed soil and rocks, no oxygen could enter——

But he was not sure whether his bonfire would consume oxygen, so he did not dare to light it.

"You stand guard at the back, don't be too far away."

After instructing Little Black Stone, he continued digging.

He couldn't go outside now, so he just threw the excavated soil and rocks back.

Even though he was starving, he didn't dare stop, because as time passed, the oxygen in the tunnel became less and less, and he began to have difficulty breathing.

About eight hours later, he estimated the location and began to dig upwards.

Because the entrance and exit were much lower than the cave shelter, he dug seven or eight meters upwards in one breath, and in the process dug several horizontal passages before he finally found the cave shelter.

It took at least twenty hours in total before they finally returned to the cave shelter.

"Damn... I'm so tired!"

As soon as he returned to the cave shelter, Liu Hen took a deep breath. He almost fainted from lack of oxygen underground.

After picking up the small black stone, he did not light the bonfire directly, but quickly came to the entrance of the cave and used the free construction function to seal the entrance.

Because there are densely packed monsters outside, once the bonfire is lit, those monsters will definitely be attracted over.

Even though the caves should be able to stop the monsters, the open-air fortifications may not be able to stop them.

Especially when there is a mutant monster among them, the head shot out by the mutant monster will explode, and the power should be quite large.

He didn't want the fortifications he had built with so much difficulty to be destroyed by those monsters.

When using the free construction function, you will inevitably be blown by the cold wind outside.

Even though it was almost early night, the temperature hadn't risen at all, and the temperature outside was likely to have reached minus sixty degrees Celsius.

His upper body was safe thanks to the bark clothing he wore to keep warm, but his lower body was almost numb from the cold.

Finally, the entrance of the cave was sealed, leaving only a gap for ventilation. He then brought the small black stone to the end of the cave, took out the bonfire from the widened position and lit it.

"Peng..."

The flames instantly shot up more than one meter high, dispelling the darkness and bringing warmth.

A strong sense of security appeared, and Liu Hen, who was sleepy and tired, really wanted to go to sleep.

But he held back and quickly started cooking.

I have to eat before I go to sleep because I need to nourish my body now.

During this process, Xiao Heishi always squatted obediently beside the fire. Without his instructions, the little girl was very quiet and would not do anything unnecessary.

One minute later, the tree cake paste was made.

After Liu Hen received it, he took it out, drank two and a half kilograms himself, and left another half a kilogram for Xiao Heishi.

"Thank you, sir."

Heishi did not refuse as before. He obediently took the large bowl and started eating.

"Oh, the workbench..."

After eating and drinking his fill, Liu Hen quickly stood up and walked quickly to the workbench.

More than twenty hours later, the level of the workbench had already been upgraded to level three.

He couldn't wait to open the production interface of the workbench, and sure enough, a new recipe appeared.

[Warm Pants Recipe: Pants with a warming effect. Size can be selected during the crafting process. Materials: Three pieces of bark (starting point), one magic crystal.]

'Pants? Great!'

Liu Hen was overjoyed. If nothing unexpected happened, this thing should be a set with the thermal underwear.
