National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

"Ivan, Klaus."

"exist!"

"arrive!"

The two immediately stood up straight.

"Drag the body to the edge of the woods, separating the head from the body."

"Spread them out? Boss, are you trying to intimidate the enemy?" Ivan asked as he dragged the bag.

Klaus then began to think:

"How far apart should they be? Do they need to be arranged at a fixed interval? Which direction should their heads be facing?"

"Whatever, whatever's eye-catching."

[When I play the Forest game, I dismantle the savages and make them into furniture, then I put them at the door, and they don't dare to come.]

[Hey there, you awesome guy upstairs, help me out! I keep getting camped at my respawn point by savages in the forest!]

[The big boss's intentions are definitely not just for intimidation.]

If the rent collectors don't return on time, the snake people will definitely send people to investigate. If they see their corpses and come looking for clues, that process will be the perfect trap trigger.

Ivan blinked, and the combat-ready mind finally kicked in.

"A trap?"

"I know this one well!" He tossed the snake's tail to the ground. "Leave the trap to me!"

If we hadn't known how to do it back in the Siberian forests...

The large predator trap had long since been licked into an ice pop by brown bears.

Ivan led the cavemen to the edge of the forest to set traps.

"Take these."

They took all the unused [Hard Thorns] and [Highly Elastic Intestinal Tissue] from the warehouse and gave them the rest, clearing out a wave of inventory.

"The thorns must be arranged at a 30-degree angle upwards, so that..."

"I know, I know," Ivan interrupted Klaus impatiently, muttering, "It's just digging a hole and burying some nails..."

Klaus, holding a tree branch, ignored Ivan's grumbling.

"No, 30 degrees is too conservative. Considering the snake's resilience, 35.5 degrees would be more suitable..."

One found it troublesome, the other found it too rough.

The noisy, bewildered cavemen disappeared into the darkness.

After sending two away, there's one left.

Randomly walked over to Aurora, who was quietly picking through the seeds that hadn't been trampled, and said, "Don't be sad, anyway... it's not certain they'll grow..."

"..."

"..."

Aurora stopped collecting seeds and picked up the sword instead.

Did I say something wrong?

After reflecting seriously for half a second, Ren Yi decided to try a different approach to comforting others:

"What I mean is, does this also prove that this field does indeed have potential ecological value?"

"Maybe next time we can bury some exploding melons in the ground to deter theft..."

Aurora: "?"

Thank God...

She's not sad at all, just speechless.

"Um, boss..."

"Don't speak yet."

"I'll go boil some water, you can play by yourself."

Aurora picked up her sword, then grabbed the watering bucket next to her, and turned to leave.

He was left alone in the fields, lost in thought.

"..."

Did he say something wrong again?

No, right? U·ェ·U

[Little mouth~]

[You can play by yourself (doge)]

[The way they address him has changed from "Mr. Arbitrary" to "Boss"...]

......

Starting in the latter half of the night, the entire tribe entered a tense state of preparation for war.

It takes at least two days for those snake people to get here from their territory, which means they have about three and a half days to prepare, which should be enough.

Dala Bengba explained the situation of the snake people tribe.

That tribe was located deep in the jungle, reproduced rapidly, and possessed equipment craftsmanship and combat prowess far surpassing that of the cave dwellers.

They have long coveted this land and have occupied it before.

However, firstly, they cannot fully adapt to the climate here, and secondly, their eyesight and ability to identify plants are very poor. Even if they occupy this place, they will find it useless. Therefore, they have developed a habit of raiding a group of cave dwellers each time they come and then leaving.

The cave dwellers had a long-standing grudge against them.

Now that they have Renyi as their powerful backer, their thirst for revenge has been ignited. Ivan leads them to set traps at the edge of the forest, keeping them very busy.

Klaus took root in the tree—

He needs to have the aerial camp built before the snake people arrive.

After casually touring around and confirming that everyone in the makeshift group was in their positions, I felt perfectly justified in preparing to slack off.

Where are the lakes around here?

He gestured as if drinking water, then made a casting motion.

It means I want to go fishing, specifically in real water.

Dala Bengba reacted extremely by waving his hands wildly.

"Can't we fish in the water?"

It nodded frantically, making a choking and tongue-sticking-out motion.

"Is the water poisonous?"

That doesn't make sense. Whether it's the cave dwellers or them, they all draw water from that nearby stream, and that water is perfectly normal.

If the water is fine, then you can't fish in it.

He patted Dala Bengba on the shoulder reassuringly, indicating that he understood, and the indigenous chieftain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But any curiosity was piqued.

He carried his fishing rod and strolled to the stream, where he squatted down.

Moss? Normal.

Flow rate? Normal.

Dead branches and fallen leaves? That's normal.

But there weren't even any small fish, let alone small crabs or tadpoles!

Renyi stood up and walked upstream along the stream, while Xiao Jiu also poked her head out of her pocket, curiously watching the flowing water.

The further upstream you go, the denser the forest becomes.

The low-lying ferns and shrubs grew taller and taller, almost reaching chest height, and the air became cold and damp, filled with the chirping of unfamiliar insects.

After walking for about an hour, a huge lake appeared ahead.

It looks as big as four football fields.

The lake water is dark blue, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, without a ripple except for the inlet and outlet channels, like a glass ball embedded in the middle of a green forest.

This is the source of the stream.

However, the lake's water source appears to be in the direction of the snow-capped mountains.

Is it meltwater from the snow-capped mountains?

No wonder it's so clear, but is it so "clean" that "not a blade of grass grows" because of snowmelt or something else lurking in this lake?

"Shall we go down and take a look?"

He casually held Xiao Jiu up to his face.

Xiao Jiu peeked into the deep blue lake, then slapped her hand onto his face.

"fool!"

"I am a marine creature!"

Fine.

He calmly pulled Xiao Jiu off his face and hung her on his collar, then jumped onto a rock to use the height to look around.

Generally speaking, green water is deep, and black water is deep...

What's the deal with this blue-black color?

The lake water converges here and then branches into four or five rivers of varying sizes.

Compared to the stream he had followed, this one was the smallest and most inconspicuous.

The only inlet was very rapid, located on the other side of the lake, requiring him to go around most of the lake to get there. He considered going there to explore further, but quickly gave up.

He just finished dancing at the grave yesterday, and he wants to relax a bit.

Soloing the boss?

Never mind...

If you can gang up on someone, never fight one-on-one; if you can call in reinforcements, never act recklessly. That's the wisdom of survival!

Unfold the [Pudu] portal and select the area next to this giant rock.

This place is far from other waterways, and the banks are wide open, so if you catch something amazing, it'll be easy to escape.

Use ordinary scorpion meat as bait.

"Thump—"

The fishing hook plunged into the deep blue lake water, and soon silence returned.

He randomly picked up a tree branch, set up his fishing rod, and sat down on the spot.

Today, I'm not here for materials, but for intelligence!
