Chapter 130 A Mundane Day on a Primitive Island
Swish.
The wood chopper ran along the log, hacking off the thick branches.
"Come, take this wood, trim it like this."
"This knife is very sharp."
Lu Xian spent the early morning teaching the Priest and the others how to use the wood choppers.
Having used ancient blades and stone axes, the Priest quickly mastered how to use the wood chopper.
"Good (Amazing)! Sharp!"
Unfortunately, the Priest lacked vocabulary and could only spit out three words.
But for a primitive man who only knew how to communicate with "ooh-rah" sounds two days ago, this was already quite impressive.
Lu Xian was not in a hurry to let these Tribal Clan Members go into battle.
To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools.
It was only the beginning stage.
Other Survival Challengers did not yet have the great power to cross the sea to fight and destroy his Tribe totem pole.
Everyone was a D-Class Survival Challenger.
The most important task currently was to cultivate their own primitive men and improve their strength.
As for cultivation, Lu Xian had the cheat of Myriad Heavens Express, plus the buff from his B-Class totem pole, so he had already begun to take a commanding lead.
Watching Lu Xian trim log after log, each as thick as a wrist and two meters long.
Many people in the livestream room were curious and discussing it in the barrage:
[Master Lu, what are you doing?]
[Weapons, I guess, but they're so big, if you swing one down, even a tiger would cry and call for its ancestors to save it.]
[Building a house? But you already have a place to live, right?]
[It must be building a house.]
...
"Teaching them how to use tools properly, and then building a bed while I'm at it. Later, I'll set up two rooms over by the totem pole."
"Then I'll teach them basic life skills, farming, and see if they can go fishing in the sea," Lu Xian said.
He hadn't seen any dried fish in the cave.
There were, however, some large seashells used for holding things.
livestream room barrage discussion:
[Oh, oh, but isn't it too good to give them a bed?]
[I don't think so, the Streamer is probably making it for himself.]
[He already said he's building it while trimming the wood, it's definitely for himself.]
...
Two hours later.
A pile of trimmed logs was stacked next to the cave.
Click, click~
Relying on his great strength, Lu Xian used the wood chopper to split a wrist-thick log evenly in two.
One, two...
Thump, thump, thump.
After getting a certain amount of wooden planks, Lu Xian taught the Priest the function of cutting grooves on the side:
"If these lock together, it will be very sturdy."
They couldn't understand the word "mortise and tenon" yet.
Soon.
Lu Xian had built his first bed on the island inside the cave.
It was fifty centimeters off the ground, with dimensions of about 1.2 by 2 meters.
It was rough and crude; lying on it would get you pricked by wood splinters.
"This is a bed, used for resting."
"It's much better than lying on the ground, avoiding the crawling insects and dampness on the floor."
Lu Xian said to the Priest, and two other primitive men who looked intelligent were also listening nearby.
"Bed? Insects? Dampness?"
The Priest seemed to understand.
Lu Xian nodded.
Then he used the soft dried grass bundles he had picked yesterday to spread on top.
With that, the bed was finished.
He sat on it to test it out and it felt pretty good.
{Congratulations, you have obtained the achievement: I Have a Bed in the Primitive Era.}
Lu Xian received the notification afterward.
He then took two wood choppers and led the Priest and the others to clear the path in the forest from the Tribe to the totem pole, making it wider.
Two hours later.
The sun was directly overhead; it was noon.
Lu Xian set up a woodpile right under the tree next to the totem pole.
"Start a fire?" the Priest asked.
He seemed to know what was going to happen next.
"Yes." Lu Xian nodded and smiled.
He was getting smarter.
"Good!" The Priest took out his small tool, a quite sharp little bone blade.
Then his gaze searched for materials to start a fire.
However.
Lu Xian grabbed a handful of dry leaves from the side and took out a lighter.
Click!
A flame instantly shot up!
Poof~
The dry leaves caught fire and started smoking.
Seeing this scene.
Those four primitive men were terrified.
They immediately knelt and worshipped, exclaiming:
"Ooh-rah! God! Fire!"
This meant that the Godly Patriarch had used a fire artifact, and the fire just appeared like that; how magical!
"This is a lighter, a very convenient tool for starting fires," Lu Xian mentioned briefly, but didn't introduce it further.
"Skin that."
Lu Xian pointed to a small wild boar next to the Priest.
These Tribal Clan Members didn't really know how to butcher, basically cutting off a piece wherever they could.
They would even eat it without washing the internal organs or intestines; their appetites were very good.
However, their skinning technique was quite good.
After letting the Priest skin the wild boar, Lu Xian took it, cut it open, and removed the internal organs.
After finishing, the coals of the fire were already glowing red.
Then, he simply clamped it with a few pieces of wood, propped it up, and placed it over the fire to roast.
"Authentic firewood-roasted small wild boar," Lu Xian said to the audience in the livestream room.
The barrage responded:
[It doesn't look tasty, and in reality, it doesn't taste good.]
[Can the person above talk? Say more.]
[I think it looks very appetizing.]
[This is a pure primitive wild boar, Streamer, save me a portion / drooling.]
...
It roasted for over half an hour.
A fragrant and charred scent wafted out.
The primitive men following Lu Xian had been drooling for twenty minutes.
Because they had never seen such a perfect roasting method.
They usually just hung it on the wall to burn and smoke-dry it.
"It's ready."
Lu Xian looked at the roasted wild boar, which had a good color and appearance, though a few pieces of meat were charred because he didn't use oil or honey.
He placed it on a large leaf he had prepared in advance.
He cut it open.
Click, click, the juices were fragrant.
He used the wood chopper to cut off a piece and forked it with a branch.
Whoosh, whoosh~
He blew on it a few times.
"Fragrant! It's cooked, but the texture is a bit gamey, and the meat is very tough."
"But for the primitive society, this is a top-tier delicacy!"
It was much better than those smelly air-dried meats and smoked meats.
He cut a few pieces of tenderloin, and the texture and taste were much better.
The Survival livestream room barrage expressed one after another:
[Reaching out, I'm a college student, give me a bite, thanks.]
[Reaching out, two pieces, thanks, for me and my girlfriend.]
[Wow, wow, wow, you guys are too much! Bring a basin, Streamer, fill it up for me.]
[6.]
...
Seeing the barrage, he smiled.
Then he continued to taste it.
At the same time, he cut a few pieces for the Priest and the others nearby.
"How does it taste? Is it good?" Lu Xian asked.
"Mmm! Good! Tasty!" The Priest nodded excitedly, his mouth full of grease.
This was food gifted by the Godly Patriarch!
And, it was clearly the same food.
Yet the Godly Patriarch could make it so delicious.
{Congratulations, you have obtained the achievement: Wilderness Barbecue Master.}
After the few of them finished digesting a small wild boar, Lu Xian took them to clear and cut down the surrounding wood.
These Tribesmen who received the blessing of the Savage King totem were incredibly strong.
Carrying two or three hundred jin of wood, their legs didn't even tremble.
Only chopping wood was a bit time-consuming.
Until evening.
With the few of them working together, Lu Xian had already built a simple wooden house of only seven or eight square meters next to the totem pole.
It couldn't shelter from wind and rain, but it could protect him in the wild.
"Another day."
"How is the development of the others going?"
