Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 23 Robbery
"Sir, are we leaving?" asked Little Black Stone.

After staying here for more than ten days, she quite likes it here.

Because there is no wind here, it is warm, and there is a fire, which is countless times better than the dark world outside.

"Yes, we can't stay in the cave anymore."

Liu Hen did not hide it for the sake of his self-esteem. How could face be more important than safety?

As he spoke, he walked to the workbench and was about to put it away, but found that he couldn't do it because the upgrade time had not yet ended.

He quickly looked at the countdown, luckily, there was less than a minute left.

Just at this moment, the upgrade countdown ended and the Creation Workbench reached level five.

Liu Hen couldn't wait to open the production interface, and found that the new recipe was warm gloves.

The materials for making a pair of gloves are two pieces of bark and a magic crystal, and no other additional materials are required.

"In that case... let's make the gloves first, so we don't have to carry more things."

He immediately chose his own size and Xiao Heishi's size, and put both sets of materials into the crafting column.

The countdown for making one set is one minute. Although you need to queue, it only takes two minutes.

Taking advantage of this time, Liu Hen quickly checked the things he needed to take away.

In fact, there was nothing much. The remaining forty or so ice cubes were always in the space backpack, and the tree cakes and tree cake essences were all in it.

These three things take up three space backpack grids.

In addition, the campfire and workbench will need to be put away later, which will take up two more grids.

There are five slots left, one for the remaining iron ore and one for the bark.

So, there are three squares left.

Liu Hen put on one coat and one pair of pants that he had discarded earlier to cover the streamlined warm suit on his body. He was left with two coats, two pairs of ragged pants and a pair of ragged shoes.

However, because these three things belong to different categories, they cannot be placed in the same space backpack grid.

Considering the various situations he might encounter after leaving the cave shelter, he reluctantly threw away the tattered clothes.

He tried to wrap the smelly clothes around his head to block out the cold wind, but gave up after trying.

Because this kind of clothing has condensed into clumps, after covering the head, the five senses will be greatly reduced, affecting the perception of danger.

Finally, the first pair of gloves was made.

Liu Hen took it out and checked the information in his space backpack:
Warm gloves: Like bark protecting a tree, these gloves retain warmth in your hands, slowing down heat loss even in cold winds. They automatically conform to your fingers, adapting to your size, providing a consistent fit. They connect to your hands' neurons, ensuring they maintain a sharp sense of touch.

'Will it not affect your sense of touch?'

Liu Hen was delighted and immediately took it out and put it on.

Sure enough, after the brown gloves were put on, they slowly moved, adapting to the shape and size of the fingers, just like the clothes, pants and even boots before.

But unlike clothes, pants and boots, the skin on your hands will feel a little tingling when wearing thermal gloves.

This should be connecting neurons, so Liu Hen was not nervous.

After about a minute, the wearing was completed and the neural connection was successful.

Suddenly, a magical feeling appeared, as if my hands really had an extra layer of tactile skin, which did not affect the original sensitivity and tactile sensation of my hands at all.

'This feeling……'

Liu Hen waved his hands quickly, even clenching his fists, and found that he could actually feel the touch of the wind while his hands were moving.

Just like clothes and pants, when he clenched his fist and tensed his finger muscles, the fist end would become very hard, like real old tree bark.

"The value of these gloves definitely surpasses any other part."

Because this pair of gloves can be used as weapon gloves.

"Black Stone, this is yours."

He took out Xiao Heishi's gloves, threw them to Xiao Heishi, and reminded him, "It will feel a little stinging when you put on the gloves, that's normal."

"Yeah, thank you sir."

Xiao Heishi quickly took the gloves with his frostbitten hands and put them on quickly.

Liu Hen put away the workbench, thinking that he might not have enough time to cook the food slowly, and it might not be convenient to light a campfire outside, so he simply turned all the tree cakes into tree cake paste.

It took more than an hour in total, and all the tree cakes in the space backpack were used up and turned into forty-eight portions of tree cake paste.

In addition, there are fifty-one tree cake essences left.

"It should be nothing." Liu Hen thought and put away the bonfire.

Suddenly the cave became dark and the temperature dropped rapidly.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it’s different from when I first moved in here. Now there’s no campfire, and the whole cave has become gloomy.

When their eyes adjusted to the darkness, they found that they couldn't even see their hands in front of them.

"Will living here for too long bring danger? Is this really just a nightmare?"

He frowned slightly, then said to Xiao Heishi, "Follow me."

Because he didn't know whether the three-meter-tall mutant monster with many heads was still guarding outside, he did not risk going out from this end of the fortification, but instead took the little black stone and headed towards the exit five hundred meters away.

Soon, they followed the route they remembered and left their residence and entered the safe passage. The darkness finally became lighter and visibility returned to the normal ten meters.

"That place... has actually become a dangerous place?"

Liu Hen secretly felt lucky that he had reacted quickly: "It seems that we can't live in the same place in the cave for too long."

The barbarians generally do not live in the same place for a long time, so there is no relevant information in the original owner's memory.

He suspected that if it weren't for the magical bonfire, they would have been in danger long ago.

"If this goes well, I'll also ask how the Hongluo Camp handled this situation."

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the exit five hundred meters away.

Liu Hen took out a pickaxe and dug open the one-meter-thick stone wall.

"Sir, I'll go out and take a look first." Xiao Heishi volunteered, as keeping watch was her job.

"Then you should be careful." Liu Hen nodded.

Little Black Stone slowly crawled out and left the cave.

Half a minute later, she returned to the cave entrance: "My lord, it's safe outside."

Liu Hen immediately climbed out of the cave.

The cold wind blew in my face like a knife, but apart from the stinging in my face and some pain in the back of my head, I no longer felt any coldness in my body, which was much better than before.

Because the early night has not yet ended, the visibility outside is now about 20 to 30 meters.

Liu Hen sealed the exit, then determined the direction and walked towards the Hongluo camp with Xiao Heishi.

"I wonder if Hongluo Camp has any copper reserves?"

As he was on his way, he was thinking that if he could trade for copper ore, he could upgrade the Pickaxe of All Things.

He had a feeling that there would be surprises after the All Things Pickaxe was upgraded again.

In the darkness, both of them looked alert and tried to step as quietly as possible.

It was not known whether the monsters were attracted away by the fire ten days ago, or for some other reason, but they had traveled more than two thousand meters without encountering any monsters.

However, when they were only more than 2,000 meters away from the Hongluo camp, seven or eight wooden arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness.

The two men's faces changed drastically. Although they reacted quickly, they were still shot.

However, the defensive effect of the thermal clothing came into play, and these ordinary wooden arrows could not hurt them.

'Damn you robber!'

Liu Hen had no intention of resisting and quickly ran with Xiao Heishi because there were so many enemies.

"Sir, there is someone there..." Suddenly Xiao Heishi pointed to the right more than ten meters away.

Suddenly, several guys holding rusty steel knives crawled out of the pit.

Liu Hen took out a piece of iron ore without hesitation, aimed at one of them, swung his arm and threw the iron ore out.

"boom!"

One of them was hit on the head and bleeding, and fell down screaming.

The remaining three people were so scared that they quickly squatted back into the pit.

'My explosiveness seems to be greater.'

Liu Hen took out another piece of iron ore, continued running with the small black stone, and looked at that location with cold eyes.
