Chapter 8 The Corpse in the Tree Hole

At noon, the sun was like a fire.

There were slapping sounds from the lake in the forest, with an inexplicable smell, and the soul beast forest, which was dead for a while, also became alive.

A silver-haired young man took off his shirt, and was disposing of the corpse of a soul beast by the lake downstream with his upper body bare. He brought a flat stone about 50 centimeters from somewhere and placed it on the shore. The top was peeled off and washed clean. buckskin.

On the other side is a piece of driftwood that is two people long and one wide. It was cut in half, and a few tree vines went through one of the holes to fix the driftwood on the shore. A lot of stones were piled under it to ensure that it would not float around with the current, and a lot of cut pieces of meat were placed on it. .

One morning passed, but he simply separated the skin and flesh, and he didn't even pick out the tendons and bones of the bones. It can only be said that he has never done this kind of thing before, and he is very novice and clumsy.

Meat in this weather cannot be stored for a long time. One day at the latest, these fresh meat pieces will start to stink and rot if they are not marinated. This is unbearable for Uchiha Uranium, who is short of food. God knows next time Where will new living creatures be encountered, and it is possible that they will never be encountered again.

After all, the radiation he carries will drive away all creatures, unless he bumped into it by himself by taking no route like yesterday, which is also doomed, it is impossible for him to catch prey by normal means.

"Oh, this thing makes my waist sore!"

Straightening up his body, Uchiha moved his waist and shoulder blades, and the soreness stimulated him to roll his eyes, bent over and squatted for more than an hour, stood up in an instant and almost made himself clear.

After washing the meat, he began to do the next step, which was to apply salt, set fire, smoke, and then let him hang it to dry, so that it could be considered complete and well done. Salt is easy to deal with, he brought a lot of it when he came out, just the problem of fire, will it attract some soul beasts to attack and so on. Although his camp already felt like a heavily radiated area, and most soul beasts would not venture in, it was better not to light a fire to be on the safe side, but the bacon must not be left unfired, which made him very embarrassed.

"Forget it, let's just start the fire. The longer you hesitate, the faster the meat will stink. Whether he has a soul beast or not, I don't believe him and dare to approach him."

After thinking about it for a while, he decided on this question. He looked at the hot sky and thought that he should go to the forest again in the afternoon. Although there are no treasures or spoils in the forest, it is not a problem to just sit in the camp. There is no hammer or ax at hand. There is no way to knock on the foundation, so it can only be placed there.

Soon, Uchiha Uchiha brought out several thin vines as thick as little fingers from the rainforest, and after peeling and washing them, they put them on the meat, and then used a machete to cut some branches as thick as forearms, and set them up in the middle of the camp. Something like a barbecue pole, and finally a fire started underneath, and the vines with the meat skewers tied to it.

He put a lot of firewood to ensure that the fire would not go out when he went to the forest, but because there was a lot of meat, he quickly set up three barbecue poles for bacon, and after temporarily setting up two soul skill traps, He took the package and headed east.

In fact, there are many roads that can be walked in the forest, and the one I will take today is another one.

The sky was blue and the branches of trees criss-crossed overhead.

As he continued to move forward, Uchiha felt that the temperature in the forest had dropped a bit. He looked up, and at some point, the sunlight had been blocked by the dense leaves, and it was no longer hot as before.

got windy.

The trees made a rustling sound, and he felt as if he smelled something strange, sour and fishy, ​​like two catties of pork that had been exposed to the sun in summer, giving off a foul smell.

It's just that the source of the smell is a bit far away, and when it drifted to Uchiha Yu's place with the wind, it was not so strong, but this also caught his attention.

If he guessed correctly, it should be the smell of rotting meat.

If it's meat, then he'll be interested. Regardless of whether it's rotten or not, at least fur, bones, teeth, etc. are all good things. It just so happens that he still lacks a lot of materials. If there are sharp teeth, they will be used in the future. It is also a good choice for making daggers.

When he became interested, he quickly followed the smell, because instead of walking normally, he walked along the smell. It was inevitable that he would continue to detour and bump into bumps, but he was also prepared, and he was intentional along the way. Unintentionally leave imprints on the surroundings, for a while, chop a knife on a tree, or make a pattern on a stone.

He doesn't have a dog's nose either, so it's impossible to smell where he is, so to find a location, he depends on smelling from left to right, leaning towards whichever side smells the most. Although this method is extremely unreliable, it is still a good way , He has nothing to do, so just waste a little time.

On the way, he also set up a ground thorn trap, and the soul power recovered quickly. Although it was not yet full, it was still possible to set two traps, but he only set one, after all, he needed to save some soul power The feeling of draining your soul power is not so pleasant.

Soul power can be recovered naturally, which is equivalent to a cd-like skill. Uchiha Yu understands it this way, when the cd is full, just put one in, just like Teemo growing mushrooms.

About an hour later.

The breeze blows, bringing the fresh smell of grass and trees, accompanied by a strong smell of corpses.

This kind of hot weather is not the time to store fresh meat. Once the shelf life has passed, the smell of fresh meat and blood will be quickly transformed into a pungent stench by microorganisms. If it is not stopped, it will soon rot. The soul beast came and had a feast.

It's strange, this smell lingers for a long time, as if the soulless beast cares, and in Uchiha's sense, he may be close, out of caution, he quickly arranged a place around him The thorn trap, although he was a little timid, he still made sure that he was safe first.

If he met someone, and others saw him, a six-year-old child, and immediately wanted to kill him, wouldn't he die here on the spot? After all, people are not soul beasts, they will be scared away by his heavy nuclear radiation.

Soon, he found it. He saw the place with the strongest smell, surrounded by open trees. In front of him was the wreckage of an old tree. There was a big hole in the middle. It didn't look deep, but a strong stench was inside. Uninterrupted fermentation and emission, the smell he smelled came from here.

"Is this the place?"

Uchiha didn't approach rashly, he first lit a fire, wrapped the leaves, and threw it into the tree hole far away. From the light of the fire, he saw that there was a tragic human corpse in the tree hole.

"Hey, it turned out to be a human being. It seems that he hasn't been dead for a long time, and the flesh hasn't rotted." Before he could move, Uchiha Yu felt that the sky was a little darker.

A huge shadow blocked the sunlight, and a huge shadow was projected under his feet, completely covering Uchiha Yu's shadow.

A giant creature stood behind him.

"Oh shit!"
