Dongyun lifted the mouse by the tail and saw its long, pointed snout, unlike that of the fancy mouse.

This little thing can only be used to make desserts.

The three of them each only had a little taste before it was all gone.

If you can't catch big fish, you can only catch small ones.

I miss the South, where all animals were big except for people. If it were a fancy mouse, they could have had a few more bites.

It's okay, a little bit is acceptable.

This at least shows that his traps were effective; the lasso trap is unclear, but the rockfall trap was effective.

The shrews were crushed to death and buried under the stones, undiscovered by other predators, ants, or other insects.

Dongyun made small traps, which could only catch small animals.

He considered making large traps to see if he could catch larger animals, such as sheep, deer, or wild boars.

He didn't expect to hunt wild boars; they were strong and dangerous, and even if he caught one, it was very likely that it would escape the trap. Sheep and deer, on the other hand, were much weaker than wild boars and had much lower aggression, making them much safer to hunt.

However, after so many days, Dongyun had not found any trace of sheep or deer in the jungle, nor had he found any wild boars, which prevented him from setting traps.

He actually doubted whether there were any ungulates such as sheep, deer, or pigs in this jungle, because this jungle seemed to be a tropical rainforest, and ungulates are relatively rare in tropical rainforests.

This is bad news for them, but it's not all bad news either. With fewer ungulates, large predators will also become scarce. Apart from large predators like jaguars, there shouldn't be any other large predators.

However, it's hard to say whether this jungle is a tropical rainforest; it could be a monsoon forest. If it is, then there are many large predators, such as wild boars, leopards, black bears, and tigers.

Dongyun couldn't distinguish between a tropical rainforest and a tropical monsoon forest. He didn't know if anyone in the comments could tell the difference, but the comments section was already arguing about it. Just like arguing about whether aloe vera can regrow after being broken, the comments were debating whether this was a tropical rainforest or a tropical monsoon forest.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing." Dongyun was annoyed by the arguing comments and advised, "Let me define it. This is not a tropical rainforest, nor a tropical monsoon forest, but a desert, a vast desert."

【Okay okay】

Yes, a green desert.

You can't please everyone, but you can make everyone unhappy.

From now on, this place will be called the Amazon Desert.

[Isn't it the Silly East Cloud Desert?]

Whether this is a tropical rainforest or a tropical monsoon forest, there is bound to be danger.

Even in a tropical rainforest, where there are no large predators, there are other apex predators, such as pythons.

Ok?

There are snakes.

Dongyun tucked the shrew into the pocket of his coat at his waist. He then spotted a small green snake on a tree next to him.

He didn't know what kind of snake it was, or whether it was venomous, but he knew that this snake bite would become his meal.

The idea that oval-headed snakes are non-venomous while triangular-headed snakes are venomous is a widely circulated folk belief, and it has even been included in some unreliable popular science books.

In fact, many oval-headed snakes are venomous. The black mamba is a round-headed snake and one of the most venomous and deadliest snakes in Africa. The statement that the triangular-headed snake is venomous is correct, but not entirely accurate, because most triangular-headed snakes are venomous, but a small number of them are non-venomous.

To determine whether a snake is venomous, looking at whether its head is round or brightly colored, or whether the scales around its anus are in single or double rows, is not very useful. You have to learn to recognize snakes and identify whether different snakes are venomous or not.

There is no other good way.

Of course, if you can't recognize a snake, there's a good way to determine if it's venomous: let the snake bite you. If you get bitten, it's venomous; if you don't, it's not.

This brilliant idea was proposed by a genius in the comments section.

Dongyun could only say that his idea was good, and that he shouldn't give any more ideas in the future.

He found a small snake, no longer than his forearm, and killed it by hitting it with a stick he had picked up from the ground.

There are still many snakes in the jungle, but you have to go deeper into the jungle. There aren't many snakes at the edge of the jungle, and it seems there are no other animals besides birds. Although hunting is a bit troublesome, they don't have to worry about encountering predators chasing their prey outside the jungle while they are active near the sea cliffs.

It would be terrifying if they went to check on the campfire one day and found a python had collapsed their hut, but if a python actually appeared, they would be in for a feast.

Dongyun, the ferocious beast, was not confident that he could kill them, but he was confident that he could kill the python. After all, no matter how fast the python was, it could not outrun the terrifying upright ape. Leopards and tigers were different beasts.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the pythons in this world are similar to those on Earth.

Chapter 49 Searching for a New Settlement

They are running out of fresh water.

At the camp, Dongyun inspected the fresh water they had collected in coconut shells.

With the fresh water preserved in the sea cliffs, their fresh water supply will probably only last until the day after tomorrow.

We need to go to the pond in the jungle to fetch water.

I don't know if I can make the leaf-patterned clothes for three people today. Even if I can't make three people's clothes, it would be fine if I could make two people's clothes.

He and Nadeshiko can go to the jungle to fetch water; Gabriel doesn't necessarily have to come along.

Having been in this world for several days, Kagamihara Nadeshiko gradually adapted to her new identity, her mindset changed, and she gained a certain understanding of the dangers of this world.

This gave Dongyun the courage to take her on an adventure in the jungle.

This way, if they encounter danger while fetching water, they can look after each other.

Because that pond must have fed other animals besides them and the monkeys, and it would be dangerous if any of those animals were dangerous and could attack people. Therefore, before entering the jungle, they not only had to prepare leaf clothing, but also make weapons such as spears and stone hammers.

Dongyun's stone knife still needs sharpening, but its current sharpness is sufficient for carving wooden spears without any problem. However, he feels that wooden spears have limited lethality, and they might break if thrust into a wild boar.

Just in case, he also made a stone hammer.

He was to use the spear, while the stone hammer was given to Nadeshiko.

Last night, after planning to make a stone hammer today, he had a strength contest with Nadeshiko. Although he was confident that his strength was no weaker than Nadeshiko's, after actually arm wrestling with her and losing several times, he found that Nadeshiko's strength seemed to be greater than his.

He knew that being good at arm wrestling didn't necessarily mean having great strength, but it was true that Nadeshiko's arms were very strong, and he would definitely be able to unleash great power with the stone hammer.

In the morning, Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko made wooden spears and stone hammers, and then collected firewood and plant fibers; in the afternoon, they made more traps and braided ropes, hunted seagulls, collected seafood, and helped Gabriel make leaf clothes.

The appearance of the walking fish made Dongyun abandon his plan to improve the campsite and build a hut next to the campfire.

They needed to explore the jungle as soon as possible to find a settlement more suitable than the sea cliffs, a place where walking fish were not found.

If the walking fish were just a fish with insect legs, he would not only dare to continue living in the sea cave, but he might even consider hunting it. But he dared not gamble, dared not gamble that the walking fish was just a fish with insect legs, and not some strange monster that ran out of Don't Starve or Minecraft.

They're playing extreme survival, and they can't afford to take any unnecessary risks.

"If only we could find a settlement with caves, rivers, plains, many hoofed animals, and fruits, vegetables, and spices."

Dongyun wants to find a place to settle down, a place that embodies her dreams.

In this way, their "survival party" can graduate, and with his survival system, they will likely be able to live a relaxed and pleasant retirement life with electricity, air conditioning, and running water.

"Are you making a wish?" Gabriel curled her lip upon hearing this. "I am an angel, not a magic lamp. I cannot grant your wish."

"Don't you want a shelter like this? It has fruit, vegetables, and spices."

Dongyun wants to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised beef, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, and many, many other things.

Eating grilled skewers and sizzling on a hot stone every day, with maybe a little extravagant boiled food, was becoming unbearable for him. But even so, some viewers in the UK said he was eating quite well. Don't ask why, the answer is that this viewer in the UK was practically starving.

"I want to, but it's not realistic."

Gabriel definitely wants such a perfect sanctuary, but that idea is no different from a dream.

Nature is indeed a marvel of craftsmanship, and such places may exist in this world, but they are unlikely to be so lucky as to find them. Moreover, even if they did find such a wonderful place, they might not be able to enjoy it and would encounter tigers, brown bears, and Tyrannosaurus Rex on the very day they arrived, being devoured by them one by one.

"People always need to have dreams. I believe they do. We can even have walking fish and human-faced spiders the size of footballs. You have to believe that we can find wild mansions, wild iced cola trees, and wild potato and beef rice bowls."

Dongyun said with a smile.

"Hey, this is getting more and more outrageous!"

Gabriel was stunned when she heard this. Was she really dreaming?

"Potato and beef rice bowl, I really want to eat it."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko's mouth watered at what Shinonome was saying.

She wiped away the drool that was about to spill from the corner of her mouth, her absent-minded gaze clearly showing that she was fantasizing about enjoying a delicious meal.

"I want, too."

Dongyun seemed to be joking when he said that, but there was also a bit of seriousness in it.

This world already has fantastical elements like blood-red nights, walking fish, and human-faced spiders the size of footballs, so it's not impossible for some fantastical elements to appear that are beneficial to their survival.

Seriously speaking, it's quite possible that a place with a dry, large enough cave, plains inhabited by many herbivores, rivers, and fruit trees could still exist.

At night, the three chatted while making leaf garments.

at the same time.

Shima Rin read a book uneasily inside the tent.

She would occasionally look up outside the tent, hoping that the unknown beasts howling in the forest wouldn't come closer.
