The bullet comments are quite useful, but there's one thing that bothers him: there are more and more bullet comments. In order not to obstruct his view, he needs to adjust the bullet comment density to reduce the number of bullet comments he sees.

Although this reduces the chances of seeing useful comments, it is the best option when you can't see anything in front of you or you can turn off comments and not see anything.

He became a real-life version of "The Truman Show" on Earth. Not only were people in China busy and not paying attention to him, but people abroad were also watching him. This meant that he would occasionally see some foreign comments on the screen, but he didn't recognize any of them except for those in English, and even then, he didn't recognize much of the English.

Viewers said the government was trying its best to help him, sending a team of experts to advise him, but there were too many comments on the screen, and they couldn't see them most of the time. Even if they appealed to them not to post useless comments, the internet is full of all sorts of monsters and demons, and some people just want to rebel.

Overall, the comments were quite useful and taught him a lot.

"why is it like this……"

Upon hearing what Shinonome said, Kagamihara Nadeshiko's face fell.

She thought they could enter the Iron Age, moving from primitive society to feudal society.

"It's alright, we can always make the furnace and bellows, but the iron ore depends on luck. There's iron ore in the river, and maybe there's a mine upstream. As long as there's a mine, we'll definitely be able to make ironware in the end."

Dongyun was confident in himself, especially in his system. The shop blueprints included bellows and furnaces. He would likely exchange for the bellows, but the furnace was less certain. After learning how to make a kiln, he could try making a furnace.

He exchanged the kiln blueprint after accumulating the seventh sun.

To his surprise, the kiln also required adobe bricks. Although it could be made with mud and stones, a kiln built with adobe bricks was better. After all, the blueprint for adobe bricks was just a sun, and he discovered the power of the blueprint after exchanging it for the kiln blueprint.

A blueprint is not a physical drawing; it provides him with comprehensive knowledge that not only teaches his mind how to create blueprints but also how to get started, how to create them skillfully, and how to handle problems when they arise.

The blueprint for the mud bricks is worth as much as a sun. It can be used to build both kilns and mud houses. It is of high quality and low price, and has excellent cost performance. There is no reason for him not to exchange it.

Many viewers in the comments believed that making mud bricks was simply making bricks out of mud, and he naively thought so too before he redeemed the mud brick blueprint.

After exchanging the materials, he discovered that making adobe bricks not only requires soil, but also the addition of straw, sand, shells, ash, and other materials that can act as crack-resistant agents to prevent the bricks from cracking.

Furthermore, molds need to be made to ensure that the clay bricks are the same size and to facilitate the tamping and compaction of the soil. Finally, the brick blanks are removed from the molds and dried in the sun to become usable clay bricks. The production process is actually quite troublesome.

After resting for about ten minutes, Shima Rin recovered considerably and told Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko that they could start again.

The way back is more dangerous than the way they came, because instead of following the river, they have to find animal trails and follow the paths cleared by various animals in the jungle. They risk encountering dangerous animals such as leopards, pythons, and monitor lizards.

Theoretically, the three of them could potentially take on a leopard, python, or monitor lizard, given that he and Nadeshiko each had a wooden spear and a stone hammer, while Shima Rin possessed an incredibly sharp wood-chopping knife. In reality, the leopard would likely ambush them, killing one and dragging them into the dense forest. The other two, trying to rescue them, would find their hands trembling and be no match for the leopard.

Pythons and monitor lizards are the same; they always resort to sneak attacks whenever possible.

They ventured into the jungle far from the river, searching for animal trails as they made their way to the beach.

The further they went up the river, the higher the terrain became. Even though they were now far from the river and couldn't pinpoint the way back, they could still return to the beach by heading downhill. This was much better than the jungle of the sea cliffs; they could get back to the beach even without marking the trees. But just in case, they still made marks.

"Is this feces?"

Walking ahead, Dongyun frowned when he saw a black mass on the leaf-strewn path.

What is this?

I am a historian, and this is history.

Hey hey hey, I'm here!

【What kind of poop is this? Are there any professional poop experts who can help Rainbow Dash take a look】

There are no professional shit connoisseurs, but there are professional shit tasters. Didn't Lao Ba just say that? Ask him.

[Holy crap, I'm eating, why is the camera zooming in on me?!]

[Oval-shaped, bean-like, and clustered together, this is probably from an ungulate. Ugly animal droppings are generally this shape. The host can crush one to check for food residue and observe the size of the droppings; the animal shouldn't be very large. Here's a little tidbit: larger animals usually produce larger droppings, and conversely, smaller animals with smaller anuses produce less droppings and are generally smaller in size. This isn't always the case.]

A long barrage of comments caught Dongyun's attention. He listened to the comments, bent down, picked up a dung ball, and crushed it.

They are herbivores, and their feces contain undigested grass residue.

Shima Rin encountered the leopard and the dead deer by the river, and there was deer droppings there. Does this indicate that there are leopard and deer roaming nearby, in plains or forest gaps? After all, most ungulates are not suited to jungle environments.

Chapter 64 Preparing to Move

The exploration of the bay jungle has come to an end.

Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko emerged from the jungle unharmed and returned to the bay.

Although ungulates exist in the jungle, they did not encounter any such animals, only snakes and various insects; they did not even encounter spiders with human faces.

"Can we go back now?"

Back on the beach, Kagamihara Nadeshiko plopped down on her seat.

He untied the coconut shell from his waist, picked it up, and drank the water inside.

"Well, you can go back."

Dongyun glanced in the direction of the river.

He had assumed the forest where the river was located would be a mangrove forest, but it turned out to be just an ordinary forest.

Mangroves generally grow on mudflats and are rich in species, including fish, shrimp and birds. If there are mangroves, it is very convenient for them to either go fishing or dig clay to make things.

Pity.

Shinonome felt a little regretful, turned his gaze to Shima Rin, and said, "You can leave your things here. We'll start moving them here the day after tomorrow, so you don't need to move these things over."

He's decided to move.

The bay seemed safe enough. Although it was unknown whether walking fish would appear on the beach at night, there was no reason for them to find their sanctuary in the woods.

Unless the walking fish deliberately ventures into the jungle to forage.

"The day after tomorrow? Aren't you moving tomorrow?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko blinked in confusion; she thought they were moving tomorrow.

"Have you forgotten? We're off tomorrow, and it looks like it's going to rain tomorrow."

Dongyun looked up at the sky.

There are a lot of clouds in the sky; I wonder if it will rain tonight.

I hope it doesn't rain the day after tomorrow, otherwise the moving plan will have to be postponed.

They have a lot of stuff on the sea cliff, and it's difficult to move it all in one day. It would take at least two days, and possibly three. It absolutely cannot rain during the journey, otherwise their things will get soaked before the temporary shelter is set up, and they won't be able to collect the dry firewood needed for the campfire.

Although they wanted to discard or leave unwanted items on the sea cliffs, it seemed they wanted to bring everything except coconut shells and large clams. Not only materials like bones, feathers, ropes, snakeskin, and lizard skins, but also woven palm leaf products like palm leaf roofs, and long wooden sticks for building sheds and making drying racks for meat.

Gathering the long sticks needed to build the shed and make the drying rack for meat will definitely take more time and effort than carrying them. The reason is simple: making the drying rack requires cutting down trees, and even with a machete, cutting down trees is still very tiring and time-consuming.

Therefore, if you want to quickly set up a temporary shelter, all of these things need to be moved here.

If possible, Dongyun would also like to bring over his stone slab, which is quite good for heating things.

The three of them rested at the beach for a while, drank some water, and ate something.

After resting, they began their journey back.

……

Camp.

Gabriel was sitting in the shade under the rock wall, dozing off.

Last night she kept watch over the meat and the fire, and today she has to do the same during the day. Although she slept peacefully last night and didn't wake up during the night because of any strange noises, she woke up before dawn to prevent the early-rising seagulls from getting meat.

She slept late and woke up early, and after working at high intensity for three consecutive days, she was exhausted and drifted off to sleep leaning against the rock wall.

"Go away, go away!"

Suddenly, Gabriel woke up from the strange noise. She opened her eyes and saw a large black bird that she didn't recognize, which looked like a crow, perched on the meat drying rack. She quickly chased it away.

"Wow--!"

The blackbird cried out, picked up the jerky, and was about to fly away.

Seeing this, Gabriel quickly picked up the meteor rope beside her and threw it at the black bird.

One hit.

The blackbird, entangled in a meteor shower, crashed shortly after takeoff.

The blackbird flapped its wings, trying to fly away, but the weight of the two large rocks and the tangled ropes made it difficult for it to open its wings.

"Hmph, trying to escape."

Gabriel grabbed the blackbird by the neck with one hand. She found two ropes of sufficient thickness, tied one end to the blackbird's left leg, and the other end to a wooden stick in the hut.

There's too much meat; there's no need to kill the bird.

She wanted to try raising the bird first; if it survived, she could use it as a reserve food; if it didn't, she would have to feed it extra food with tears in her eyes.

If you're lucky, you might even get to eat a bird's egg.

Gabriel looked at the bird's size. It was quite large, though not as big as a chicken. But its eggs should be a little smaller than a chicken's. She just wondered if it could lay eggs every few days like a chicken.

She released her right hand that was holding the blackbird.

As soon as I let go, the blackbird spread its wings to fly, but the rope tied to the stick pulled it back.

The ropes were strong enough, and the poles supporting the shed were sturdy enough that the blackbird wouldn't be strong enough to break free and escape. Even if it managed to break free from one rope, there was another one as a safety net.

"Stop struggling, just obediently lay eggs for us to eat."

As Gabriel spoke, she picked up the dried meat that had fallen to the ground and hung it back on the drying rack.
