Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 35 Super Delicious Roasted Horse Meat
"Did they also encounter people on horseback?" Liu Hen wondered.

Because his eyesight has become much stronger now, when he saw the Wu brothers and sisters, they were still more than a hundred meters apart.

Considering the importance of the information...that is, the reason why the Wu brothers and sisters were injured, he immediately took Xiao Heishi and walked over.

It was not until the two men approached within thirty meters and Liu Hen deliberately increased the volume of his footsteps that the Wu siblings finally discovered them.

"Who?!"

The Wu siblings were like frightened birds. They suddenly picked up their weapons and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

"It's us."

Liu Hen spoke and walked out of the darkness with Xiao Heishi.

"Is it Master Liu Hen?"

The Wu brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you encounter?" Liu Hen asked curiously.

When this was mentioned, the faces of the Wu brothers and sisters turned ugly again.

Wu Yuanming said in a deep voice: "The demon, it has captured the fourth brother!"

"demon?"

Liu Hen's heart tightened: "Is there that kind of monster in this area?"

According to the information in the original owner's memory, the demon is also a kind of monster, but it is a man-eating monster.

Just like the monsters and spirit beasts in the immortal cultivation novels of the previous life, they are actually the same thing, except that spirit beasts have human nature, while monsters do not.

The same goes for demons and goblins, they are all non-human creatures or dead objects that have become spirits, but goblins understand human nature, while demons are impossible to communicate with, and humans are also on their menu.

"Fourth brother volunteered to lead the demon away in order to save us." Wu Yuanxia said in a low voice.

Faced with that kind of monster, they had no ability to resist at all. If someone had not volunteered to sacrifice himself and lead the monster away, the four of them would have died.

"Did you see clearly what kind of monster it is?" Liu Hen asked.

Wu Yuanming thought for a moment and said, "It was so sudden that I couldn't see clearly, but the thing that attacked us looked a bit like a tree root. I'm not sure."

"root?"

Liu Hen was filled with doubt and uncertainty: "Could it be that the tree has become a spirit?"

"I don't know."

Wu Yuanming sighed. He was very sad about the death of the fourth brother.

But they were prepared to walk in the dark, so they adjusted quickly.

"I guess I have to be more careful when cutting down trees next time, lest I run into a disguised demon."

However, it seems that the injuries of these people are not serious, so the demon should not be too strong.

Liu Hen thought about this and then asked, "Do you know where there is a copper mine?"

"Copper mine?"

Wu Yuanming determined the direction and pointed to the right. "There seems to be a copper mining area over a hundred kilometers in that direction, but we don't know the exact location. We only heard about it before, so we didn't dare go too far."

More than a hundred kilometers?

It’s not too far.

Even if you don't know the exact location, the worst that can happen is that you just have to spend more time digging around.

"Thank you for the information."

Liu Hen said this and was about to leave with Xiao Heishi.

"grown ups……"

Wu Yuanming suddenly asked, "Can we follow you?"

Wu Yuanxia and others looked over expectantly, and it was obvious that they had discussed it before.

"I don't like trouble, so I can only apologize."

Liu Hen refused without hesitation.

Suddenly, the four surviving Wu siblings all looked discouraged.

Sure enough, they had struggled for several days and were unwilling to be inferior to others, but in the end, others looked down on them.

"This is a valley, so it should be quite secluded. I might as well upgrade my workbench to the maximum Black Iron level before setting off again."

Liu Hen made a decision in his heart and took Xiao Heishi to look for a suitable place to build a house.

When the two walked more than 300 meters, a large area of ​​ice appeared in their sight.

Suddenly Liu Hen had an idea and immediately chose a relatively open place nearby to stop and start collecting.

After collecting a certain amount of large iron ore, he took out the campfire, started the home building mode, and built a coffin house here.

Then, he collected another 700 pieces of small iron ores, took out the workbench, and upgraded it with seven magic crystals.

This upgrade will take six hours and will be completed at the latest late at night.

"The thermal suit is complete. The next recipe that appears won't be parts for the thermal suit. What will it be?"

Liu Hen was looking forward to it. When the countdown started, he went outside again and continued to collect large iron ore.

When he collected all the huge iron ores scattered on the ground and turned the area into a flat square, there were already four hundred large iron ores in reserve in his space backpack.

Then he came to where the ice was and swung the pickaxe to collect large ice blocks.

[Big Ice Cube +1]

Sure enough, ice can also be used to collect reserve materials.

With one hit of the pickaxe, a large chunk of the ice in front of him fell away.

He continued to wield the pickaxe and collect things.

It took him about ten minutes to collect all the ice in the area, and he obtained a total of eighty-eight large ice blocks.

'That should be enough.'

Liu Hen brought Xiao Heishi back into the house, lit a bonfire, and was about to take out a bowl of tree cake porridge to satisfy his hunger when he suddenly had an idea and turned on the cooking function of the bonfire.

As expected, unprocessed horse meat also appeared in the ingredient column.

Of course, large ice cubes are also in the ingredients column, which is expected.

'I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I want to eat meat tonight!'

Liu Hen immediately took out a piece of the meat and waved the pickaxe to collect a small amount of materials.

Horse Meat +10

A large number of fine cracks appeared on the surface of the horse meat in front of me.

He took out a piece of collected horse meat and found that it was as big as a palm, very clean, and weighed about one pound.

"As expected, the small amount of materials collected is the essence."

Putting away the piece of horse meat, he continued to wield the Pickaxe of All Things.

Horse Meat +10

Another ten pieces of horse meat were collected. The horse meat in front of him suddenly collapsed and turned into a pool of bloody mud with a fishy and unpleasant smell.

Of course, it was Liu Hen who felt that it smelled bad. Little Heishi, who was standing next to him, was drooling when she smelled the smell. She had never eaten meat in her life.

"Although these are just scraps, they can't be wasted. However, I want to eat meat tonight, so I'll keep this blood mud for now."

Liu Hen also collected the blood mud on the ground, then turned on the cooking function of the campfire again and put a piece of horse meat in it.

There are four boxes for placing ingredients in the cooking interface. You can use up to four materials to synthesize a food, but if you are unlucky, you may synthesize a dark dish.

He only wanted to eat meat now, so he only put in a piece of horse meat to avoid any accidents.

The countdown is still one minute.

A minute later, the horse meat was cooked and a new recipe appeared - roasted horse meat.

Liu Hen couldn't wait to take out the roasted horse meat and found that the meat had shrunk a little. The surface looked golden, but there was no fragrance.

"Isn't it tasty? Is it because there's no seasoning?"

He couldn't wait to take a bite.

Suddenly, an indescribable fragrance exploded in his mouth, and grease splashed out, making him subconsciously open his eyes wide.

"Gulu..."

Xiao Heishi next to her couldn't help swallowing, because at this moment she suddenly smelled a fragrance.

What kind of fragrance is that?

She had never eaten meat before and couldn't describe the aroma at all, but she knew that it must be super delicious food.

"Oh my god...why is it so delicious?!"

Liu Hen was stunned. You know, he was no longer in the extremely hungry state as before, and he could taste the food.

As a result, after taking a bite, even he, who had eaten delicious food on Earth in his previous life, was stunned.

"There's still salt in there. Is it because the salt in the blood has been collected?"

He was confused and uncertain, but this did not stop him from enjoying the meal. He even wanted to eat his tongue.

As the fragrance emanated, the little Heishi next to her was about to cry with greed. She had an instinctive urge to eat it, even though she was not particularly hungry at the moment.

Even she was like this, not to mention the Wu brothers and sisters far away.

The barbarians all had a good sense of smell. As the aroma of roasted horse meat spread, the Wu brothers and sisters, who were silently licking their wounds hundreds of meters away, were stunned.

"What...what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"

"It smells a bit like meat, but how can it be so fragrant?"

The Wu siblings stood up almost subconsciously and walked towards the direction of the fragrance.

Even though they knew they should remain calm at this time to avoid falling into the trap of the demon, they still found it difficult to control their instinct and wanted to rush forward to grab the food they longed for.
