Chapter 942: The Crab
The fight ended there. Su Xiao wasn't injured, but Bubtney was injured.
He limped out from behind the tree. The tree he was hiding under was covered in holes, but Bubtney was wounded in the leg next to the buttock.
Bubtney's entire face and body were covered in mud.
Under normal circumstances, such an attack should have seriously injured Bubtny, but he hid behind a tree, immediately began to dig very quickly and was able to dig a hole deep enough to hide everything except his hind legs.
And as a result, one of his paws was injured.
Bubtney limped out from behind the tree. He didn't care about his wound and tried to find the animal's leg with his eyes.
Su Xiao picked up the animal's leg from the ground and shook off the dirt and leaves as the limping Bubtny walked towards him.
As he got closer, Su Xiao examined the wound on Bubtney's leg. It was very deep, but fortunately, the bone was not touched.
— I'll treat your wound first, " Su Xiao said and took out a small knife.
Bubtney immediately turned and limped away.
Ten seconds later, Su Xiao pinned Bubtney to the ground.
— Boo-boo-boo~... "Bubtny let out a long howl, and his big eyes seemed to want to say," I don't want to be treated!»
— Stop messing around. The creature's scales were left in your leg. If I don't get her out, you might end up crippled.
But Su Xiao's words couldn't calm Bubtney down. After all, he had been walking with Su Xiao for a long time and knew how rough he was with his injuries.
When Su Xiao received a bullet wound, the treatment process was usually as follows: if the bullet didn't go deep, he would just pull it out with his hands. If the bullet went deep, then with the help of something sharp, he cut the skin and took out the bullet, after which he sewed up and bandaged the wound.
He acted simply and crudely.
While Bubtny howled for a full three minutes, Su Xiao took out the bloodied scales, then applied ointment to the wound, sewed it up, and bandaged it.
Bubtney's eyes were full of tears, but after no scales were left inside the wound, he stopped limping.
This battle solved the food problem for one day. In this forest, it was obviously impossible to eat three meals a day, but eating a good meal once, which would allow them to maintain their strength, was quite possible.
This leg and the dried meat in the backpack would last them two days.
Su Xiao and Bubtney quickly left. The smell of blood was too strong. As for the corpses of silver-scaled creatures, not to mention that they were humanoid creatures, their flesh and blood gave off a strange smell.
Even if their meat wasn't very poisonous, it at least contained a bit of poison.
— This is really frustrating. If I'm not mistaken, most of the creatures in this forest have poison in their bodies, " Su Xiao said with a not-so-good expression.
All of these venomous creatures must have been specially selected by Alice or the wolf butler.
But compared to the lack of food or 'guests', Su Xiao was most worried about Alice's clone.
He would definitely come to him, it was only a matter of time.
— Woof, " Bubtney barked suddenly, looking a little flustered.
— Su Xiao looked at Bubtney and quickly understood what he meant. - Felt the water?
— Woof, " said Bubtney, and ran quickly toward the east side of the forest.
Su Xiao followed closely behind him.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao and Bubtney arrived at a mountainous area. This mountainous area was small — just two small mountains with special trees didn't look like anything special.
One mountain was covered with vines, and these vines intertwined with each other, forming natural vine cells.
The other mountain was bare and didn't even have a blade of grass on it, making it impossible to climb.
In the middle of the two mountains, there was a three-meter-wide stone canyon. This canyon was about tens of meters deep.
There were a large number of vines in the inner part of it and the faint sound of water could be heard.
Soon, Su Xiao saw that the source of this noise was a mountain spring. On the side of the mountain that was planted with vines, a trickle of a mountain spring as thick as an arm flowed down, which naturally formed a small pool in this canyon.
Of course, the water in the pool was not suitable for drinking, because it now had a huge amount of microorganisms and parasites, but the water from the mountain spring that flowed down the mountain was completely different.
It was fresh water filtered out by rocks.
However the path to the spring was blocked by vines and most of the water was deposited on these vines.
To get to the spring, you had to climb up, or cut down most of the vines, so that the water immediately fell down, and did not run down the vines.
Su Xiao grabbed onto the vine and pulled it towards him...
With a click, the vine snapped.
To do this, Su Xiao used about 60% of his strength.
He didn't know what kind of vines they were. Not only were they rooted in the rocks, but they were also very strong. He could use the Dragon's Flash to cut down most of the obstructing vines, but it would take a lot of time and effort.
It obviously wasn't worth it.
But what was the biggest difference between humans and animals? People knew how to use different tools.
Su Xiao took out a drone from his inventory and tied a bucket to it.
He wouldn't cut down all those vines. It was a reckless and stupid move. There were things in his inventory for any occasion, so he could just approach the matter from a different angle.
*W-w-w-w-w~*
Su Xiao was holding a remote control and controlling the drone.
Bubtny started rubbing against his leg, and his eyes seemed to say, " Master, I want to play too».
Su Xiao handed the remote to Bubtney, and he immediately became more energetic — his wound suddenly stopped hurting, as did his leg.
As the drone flew closer and closer to the water source, Su Xiao took out a piece of dried meat from his backpack.
Now that they had very little food and fresh water, he couldn't afford to feel hungry. He had to eat in small portions, which would allow him to eat less and keep his strength at its peak for longer.
Su Xiao tore off a piece of dried meat and handed it to Bubtny, then chewed on his own.
It was very tasteless and extremely hard, but Alice probably made it on purpose.
Bubtney chewed it very hard. If it wasn't for the lack of food, he would have spat out this meat long ago.
— Take a bite and swallow it right away, " Su Xiao said, then almost choked as he swallowed the dried meat and closed his eyes.
Bubtney also swallowed the jerky and rolled his eyes.
Their reactions were almost identical.
The drone came back. The bucket under the drone was filled to the brim with water.
This amount would last them at least two days.
Bubtney, having experienced the unfairness of the world before, was thirsty now, but he didn't rush.
He wasn't stupid, and he knew there might be something wrong with the water.
Su Xiao took out a transparent carbon ball, a white-colored consumable that was created specifically for testing water quality.
If it turns red, it will indicate that the water was not suitable for drinking. If it was yellow, then you could drink the water, but at your own risk. If it was green, then the water was safe. If it became colorless, it meant that the water was of high quality.
The carbon ball fell into the water, and after a couple of minutes it turned green.
It was safe fresh water.
— Very well, we need to get more of this water for at least five days and... " But before Su Xiao could finish, he suddenly heard an extremely soft sound.
*Knock-knock...*
This sound was very similar to the sound of claws tapping on stone.
A white crab suddenly crawled out of a crack in the rock. This crab was about the size of an ordinary human palm. If it was lying on a rock, it would be difficult to detect, and the most annoying thing was that this crab had an ability that could block the perception of other creatures, at least Su Xiao wasn't able to notice it until he heard the sound.
— Food, " Su Xiao smiled.
Not only did they find water, but they also found food.
However, in the next moment, his smile disappeared.
*Knock-knock-knock-knock...*
Su Xiao's pupils narrowed.
He witnessed an extremely shocking scene.
Originally, there were two mountains in this place. One was covered with vines and had a mountain spring, while the other was bare and didn't have a single blade of grass.
But now this "bare" mountain was disintegrating.
It wasn't a mountain at all, but countless white crabs fused together.
— Woof! "barked Bubtny excitedly, he clearly wanted to say," Master, there's so much food here!»
— What food, run! Su Xiao shouted, picked up the bucket, turned around and ran.
Even if these crabs weren't strong, there were most likely at least about a million of them. Here it was worth seriously considering which of them was the food. Besides, these white crabs somehow survived in this forest, so could they be weak? Of course not. These white crabs were actually creatures that stood at the top of the food chain in the forest of the strongest.
