Chapter 292
Chapter 292
More than ten days have passed since the gunpowder experiments were conducted at the quarry.
Everyone can understand Jiang Luoluo's frustration at being confined to a small place in such a spacious environment, unable to move around freely.
So everyone agreed to Jiang Luoluo's idea of patrolling the Taz Forest with the guard team for a day—the guard team would split into two groups each day to patrol the area to prevent any powerful, uncontrollable wild beasts from approaching.
They can also hunt some more game to reduce the hassle of fetching food from the tribe.
Honestly, it must be really tough for Jiang Luoluo to live in such a vast environment, seeing countless figures moving through the jungle every day while she can only move around near the cabin.
Even Angela, on her second day there, went to play freely in the jungle with Chi and the others, and even hunted independently, bringing back a prey for Jiang Luoluo on her own!
But apart from the initial journey, Jiang Luoluo never even got close to the forest once.
She really wanted to experience a thrilling and exciting adventure!
The reason it wasn't called hunting is because almost all the wild animals in the area have disappeared, and even Chi and his group have to walk a long way to find prey.
However, for Jiang Luoluo's safety, even if we agree to let her take a walk around the area, she definitely can't go too far.
Jiang Luoluo was well aware of this and had a clear understanding of her own abilities.
Although she performed very well on the small rocky hill, she might not be able to perform the same way when facing wild animals.
After all, no matter how hard the battle on Little Stone Mountain was fought, it wasn't aimed at taking lives.
But the wild beasts encountered during the hunt are all mortal enemies; every move is aimed at killing the other. There is no room for defeat, only victory. If you lose, you will become food.
So, having finally managed to get everyone to agree to let her go out, Jiang Luoluo had only one goal: to have a good time, like on a picnic, and to enjoy the scenery of the Taz Forest.
It can be like a school field trip.
However, Jiang Luoluo's plan was well-thought-out, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.
That is, the roads in the Taz Forest are really too difficult to travel.
Although Jiang Luoluo knew the road would be difficult when she arrived, she didn't expect it to be even more difficult.
The road Jiang Luoluo came from was a route frequently used by the tribe to transport stones, and the tribespeople had already carved out a path for it.
Although plants also grow there, they are much thinner and easier to move around in than in other parts of the Taz Forest.
If it weren't for taking care of Jiang Luoluo, Chi Lian wouldn't even need to clear a path; he could simply walk on it.
And those roads that are not frequently used are even more complex.
The grass, which was originally only ankle or knee height, has now grown to about waist height, making it impossible to walk over by simply lifting your feet slightly.
Moreover, there are all sorts of plants, and you never know which one might make your whole body go numb just by touching it, or whose sharp leaves might burst open at the slightest touch.
As you walk, you need to identify which plants will have what kind of impact on you, and decide whether to avoid them, tough it out, or cut off the parts of the plants that will harm you in advance.
Jiang Luoluo had only been out for a morning, but she spent most of that time arguing and dealing with the plants.
If Jiang Luoluo really wanted to play, all she had to do was have Chi carry her on his back. For orc warriors who could carry prey dozens of times their own size, carrying Jiang Luoluo was no trouble at all.
But Jiang Luoluo also has self-respect. She wants to become an equally powerful orc warrior, instead of a weakling who has to whine and ask others to bail her out whenever she encounters a problem.
Power should be in our own hands.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo insisted on completing the entire journey on her own, even though she stumbled along the way and ultimately didn't manage to walk very far.
But she also appreciated the beautiful scenery that made her sacrifice so worthwhile.
Those who have never seen a primeval forest can hardly imagine the scene of countless brightly colored flowers and plants piling up together and growing vigorously upwards.
Jiang Luoluo knew that they were competing and fighting each other for nutrients.
The scene that can be displayed is a dazzling array of colors, like a hundred flowers blooming, a bold clash of colors intertwined with each other.
Those who have never seen it with their own eyes cannot describe its beauty.
Angela picked what she considered the most beautiful flower from the largest cluster of blossoms and brought it to Jiang Luoluo, making it Jiang Luoluo's first collectible.
……
Once you go out once, you'll soon want to go out again.
In order to continue going to the Taz Forest with Chi and the others and see more things, Jiang Luoluo even had more energy to work.
Every morning, Jiang Luoluo would quickly complete all the tasks she needed to do, and then happily go out with Chi and the others in the afternoon.
From the initial difficulties and limitations, Jiang Luoluo was constantly learning Chi and his companions' travel skills.
In the end, while it wasn't exactly like walking on flat ground, the plants on the ground could hardly have any effect on Jiang Luoluo anymore.
Through hands-on experience, Jiang Luoluo gained a clearer understanding of these plants.
Knowing which plants are easy to bully, you can trample on their branches, leaves, and vines at will without worrying about them "getting angry and retaliating."
They also knew which plants were not to be trifled with; touching them would result in their vines and leaves, or the sap they produced, sticking to their clothes and shoes.
When Jiang Luoluo first saw this sticky plant juice, she was a little excited. It was like a natural glue, strong and effective.
With this plant mucus, many things can be done.
Unfortunately, Chi told Jiang Luoluo that the sap of these plants only has a short time of viscosity; after a few hours, it will quickly lose its effectiveness without any action being taken.
Jiang Luoluo sighed, saying that it was not commonly seen in the tribe. At this distance, even just collecting the materials and sending them back to the tribe would be almost ineffective.
If it can only be stuck on for a few hours, it's really not very useful.
However, Chi also told Jiang Luoluo that plants with special slime like this are not uncommon in the Taz Forest and are often used as various hunting traps.
Capture some wild animals that are not very large in size but are too agile.
However, it's useless against wild beasts like the Wind Chaser Weasel, which is what makes the Wind Chaser Weasel so difficult to deal with.
Because the traps are set on the ground, when the Wind Chaser runs and uses the power of the wind, it is already suspended in the air, at least tens of centimeters above the ground, and cannot touch the ground at all.
These traps set on the ground had absolutely no effect on the Wind Chaser Weasel.
It's even less effective against large beasts. It's not that it has no effect on them, but rather that an exceptionally large amount of mucus would be needed to target them.
Usually, before enough mucus has been collected, the initial collection has already become ineffective.
Add to that the time it takes to lure the prey over...
