Chapter 2326: Woman Riding a Camel

Jia Zhengjin set himself a goal, that is, except for the most basic axe, draft, and shovel, no other resources can be used, and all materials must be collected locally.

At the same time, magic cannot be used when hunting, that would be boring!

In fact, without magic, with his current physical fitness, he can easily catch the bird before it reacts.

Sure enough, Jia Zhengjin found an unknown bird jumping in the dead grass at the edge of the desert looking for lizards or insects. It took only two seconds for Jia Zhengjin to rush to the front and slap it to death.

[System] You get 1 bird meat!

[System] You get 8 feathers!

[System] You get 1 bird egg!

[System] You get corn seeds!

After collecting, what I got was corn seeds. What the hell?

A little disappointed, I quickly looked for traces of other birds around, and soon found another one, and rushed over to hunt it.

[System] You get 1 bird meat!

[System] You get 12 feathers!

[System] Get poplar seeds!

As expected, the probability of tree species dropping is very high. Jia Zhengjin happily inspected the surroundings and hunted again.

A total of 8 birds were hunted, contributing corn seeds, peanut seeds, willow seeds, poplar seeds and a coconut tree species.

Hurry back to the vicinity of the house and plant the willow seeds, poplar seeds and coconut trees slightly apart.

The seeds immediately turned into saplings. System tree species can grow into big trees in just two or three days. If there is water irrigation or fertilization, the speed will be faster.

Corn and peanuts need to be planted in farmland, unlike tree species that can be planted casually. Keep them first. When these trees grow up, cut them down to get wood to make a hoe and reclaim farmland.

In the next few days, Jia Zhengjin worked hard to transform the terrain, and the results were good. He has successfully transformed the land within a dozen meters around the house from sand to soil.

The three trees have grown up. After cutting them down, a large amount of wood and seeds were obtained. A forest area was divided next to them for planting, which is much better than the bare terrain before.

Combined with the tree species obtained from hunting every day, it is guaranteed that there will be a steady supply of wood in the future, and the green belt will be able to grow larger and larger.

As for farmland, because there is no water source, it cannot be reclaimed rashly. Crops without water cannot grow well, and groundwater must be found first.

Jia Zhengjin is very serious about mining, but so far he has only found rock layers and has not found any ore, so he needs to continue searching.

In short, he first built a stone matchbox room, which is larger than the previous mud house.

The workbench and furnace were placed in the mud house to transform it into a workshop.

Then the wooden bed and wooden table were made on the workbench and placed in the stone house as a new resting place.

The next step is to mine day and night, change the terrain, and look for groundwater resources.

About the seventh day, the underground mine had been dug to a considerable depth, and he finally found groundwater, as well as some scattered metal mines.

Now there is water, wood, and abundant underground resources, so the work is easier.

Smelt iron ore in the furnace, get iron ingots, and then synthesize iron buckets on the workbench. Scoop up a bucket of groundwater, dig a pool next to the house and pour it in.

When the water enters the pool,

it immediately begins to flow to the side. When there is only one grid, it will not move or disappear. But when there are many empty blocks, because the water blocks will flow, they will spread to the side.

Scooping up the water in the grid next to it does not affect the existence of the first grid water block. Pour it in again and it will become the second water block, and it will spread faster.

This is the infinite water bug. As long as you have patience, a bucket of water can become an ocean.

It is much more convenient to have water. Jia Zhengjin directly made a hoe, reclaimed farmland next to the pool, and then planted the crop seeds obtained from hunting these days, and watered them all.

Water the forest along the way to accelerate the growth of the seedlings.

The next step is to wait for them to mature, harvest them, get more seeds and other resources, and expand the range bit by bit.

Few people come to this side of the desert. After so many days, except for the camel-riding woman he met on the first day, no one has appeared since then.

This is good news for Jia Zhengjin, at least he won't be disturbed.

He still digs sand and buries mud every day to transform the terrain. Cutting down trees, harvesting crops, and expanding forests and farmlands, such boring work, but it makes him feel particularly fulfilled.

Nuwa comes to check the situation almost every day, and stays with Jia Zhengjin while he works to talk about what she sees and hears every day, and then leaves silently.

This continued until the twentieth day, when the desert terrain had been attacked for thousands of meters, and trees were planted in the border areas, lush and green.

The pool became larger and the farmland became wider.

Of course, the underground mine was also dug deeper and wider below.

The entrance to the mine has been built by Jia Zhengjin into a warehouse-like room. If you don't go in, you really can't find the passage leading to the underground.

Digging sand and burying mud, continue to be busy under the scorching sun.

"Ding-dang-ding-dang~" The crisp bell sounded again in her ears. The woman who appeared on the first day appeared again on a camel, this time walking towards the desert.

When she saw that the originally empty intersection had three houses (mud studio, stone lounge and mine basement), pools, farmland and groves, and even some coconut trees that could not be planted in such an environment, and Jia Zhengjin who was still digging with a shovel, she was amazed.

Passing by here twenty days ago, she thought there was something wrong with the man who said he wanted to turn the desert into an oasis. When I came back twenty days later, green really appeared on the desolate land, and there were tree species and crops that would never have appeared in such a place.

This is simply not something ordinary people can do!

The woman curiously rode a camel to the woods, stood under the shade of the tree and looked at Jia Zhengjin.

Jia Zhengjin turned back and looked at her.

"Fairy?" the woman asked curiously.

Jia Zhengjin looked at her face and found that her expression was completely different from the first day he saw her. It seemed as if there was a thick black air shrouding her. There were also some divination techniques in the Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang: "This girl, I see you have a dark look on your face, I’m afraid the road ahead is dangerous! I advise you to turn back and don’t go any further!”

The woman smiled slightly: "I was ordered by my master to hunt down sand ghosts. Of course it's dangerous! I don't know your surname?"

"What if you know, so what if you don't know?" Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and continued digging, "Girl, you'd better go back!"

"It's hard to disobey the master's orders!" the woman said, "Although the sand ghost is difficult to deal with, I am fully prepared and will definitely take it down! Why don't I ask you for advice when I return!"

After saying that, she continued on the road on her camel and slowly disappeared from Jia Zhengjin's sight.

Watching the woman's back disappear into the desert horizon, Jia Zhengjin shook his head and continued working.
