Elven settlers

Chapter 110 Making a Bed
Hei Lujia originally planned to use his horns to touch the enemy, but after hearing Roque's reminder, he quickly dodged away at the last moment.

"Boom!"

Heracross slammed into the ground, and the huge shock wave made a crater in the soil, and its entire big horn and upper body were completely submerged in the ground.

"good chance!"

Without thinking about it, Rock let Helujia launch an attack, and Helujia, who was connected with him, spewed out flames almost at the same time when he first had the intention to attack.

However, they still underestimated the strength of Heracros. They saw that it stretched out two forearms that were thicker and longer than its hind legs from the soil, and easily pulled its body out of the soil.

That relaxed look is like pulling a weed.

Before the flames of Heruga approached, Heracross spread his wings and flew up.

The flame only wiped its body once, obviously the opponent still had the strength to fight.

"Tsk, I'm in trouble, why did I forget that there is this guy."

Rock looked at Heracross who was slamming into Heluga with his big horn, and remembered the habit of this Pokémon.

Heracross senses scents with its two antennae and likes to suck the sweet sap.

The birch tree has delicious birch sap, so there is a high probability that Heracros will live in places with birch forests.

Although birch sap can only be collected for two weeks in the spring, Hercules' unique mouthparts allow it to drink sap at any time.

Usually Heracross's temperament is very docile, but when it is interrupted while sucking sap or nectar, it will become violent.

At this time, it will attack the enemy with the big horn on the top of its head. At the same time, Heracross is also very powerful, and can easily lift heavy objects that are many times its own weight.

Fortunately, although Heracross could fly, he didn't know how to use his wings very much, so he couldn't catch up with the fast Heluga.

While pulling, Heluga used jet flames at the same time, and soon the worm-attribute Heracross showed his defeat.

The carapace on Heracross's body was already scorched black, and he had no choice but to launch a last-ditch effort.

It landed on all fours, ran irregularly, and at the same time spread its wings to speed up, and directly slammed into Rock.

"right!"

After predicting Heracross' trajectory, Rock gave Heluga an order in advance.

Jets of flame caught Heracross and scorched it thoroughly.

Regardless of the life or death of this Heracross, Rock continued to cut down the birch trees, and this time he never encountered any other Heracross attacks.

After cutting down about ten birch trees, Rock felt that the number was almost the same, and the next step was to transport these birch trees back to the camp.

Leaving the wood where it was, Rock took Heluga back and called his "transportation team".

The Mare sheep are scattered on the grass, grazing leisurely.

The summer sun is very strong, and they feel very hot in wool, so they all hide under the shade of trees.

Rock found the Mali sheep in a forest, and saw them lying on the shady ground, gnawing on the fresh grass stalks.

"These guys are really nourishing, Hei Lujia, let them get up and work."

Ten Mali sheep were picked out by Heluga, and reluctantly lined up in front of Rock, waiting for him to put on the saddlebag for him.

"After finishing this job, there will be companions to take over for you."

Rock tied the saddlebags for the ten Mare sheep, and patted their bodies to encourage them.

"What a baa~"

The Mare sheep who were not selected lay by the side and looked at the companions who were forced to work, without any thought of getting up.

The birch forest is about seven kilometers southwest of the camp, neither too far nor too close.

After returning here with ten Mare sheep, Rock first let them go to the stream to drink water.

With a chainsaw, he cleared the branches of birch trees to be transported.

Even cleared birch logs are heavy for the Mare sheep, so only two logs can be carried at a time.

Rock tied the trunks with ropes and fastened the other ends to the saddlebags of the merle sheep, and each birch was dragged by five merle sheep.

He and Helujia also joined in the transport, dragged a rope each, and carried two birch logs back together with Mali sheep.

After carrying it five times in a row, all ten birch logs were transported back to the camp.

Despite the rotation, the Mare sheep were tired.

They all lay under the shade of the trees one by one, and they didn't even bother to eat the green grass around them.

In order to reward these Mali sheep, Rock is going to make some drinks for them.

He pulled out the dagger from his waist, made a circle at the top of the birch tree, and then made another circle at an interval of two meters.

Finally, draw a vertical line between the two circles, lightly tilt with a knife, and the birch bark will be lifted.

Then Rock grasped the raised bark tightly with his hands, and with a strong pull, the whole piece of birch bark was peeled off, revealing the white-brown interior.

Rock did the same, peeling off the bark of a whole birch tree, and then set a cooking pot on the fire to cook.

After the water was boiled to a slight color, Rock fished out the bark, then poured the water into an empty bucket, mixed some cold water, and mentioned the Mali sheep.

"What?"

The Mali sheep saw Roque coming with a bucket, and some curious lambs dragged their tired bodies to come up.

They tentatively took a sip of the water in the bucket, and felt that it tasted good, and they regained some strength.

"What a baa~"

A bucket of birch bark water was quickly drunk by the Mare sheep, and they returned the empty bucket to Rock, looking at him eagerly.

"Okay, I'll cook again."

Rock went back with the bucket and continued to peel the bark. He peeled off all the bark of the ten birch trees and boiled the water, and the Mali sheep also regained their vitality.

Peeling is only the first step, and then the wood needs to be dried.

After finishing lunch in a hurry, Rock continued to work on the project.

The sparks spit out condensedly in Heluga's mouth, burning away the burrs and moisture on the wood surface.

After the wood has been briefly dried and the bay leaf has been added to the work, it is now ready for action.

"Yeah!"

Even though it was just lying down for a day, the bay leaf couldn't take it anymore.It flicked the sickle above its head vigorously, and split the wood into two halves with an intermediate chop.

Rock dug four [-]-centimeter-deep holes in the ground, and then buried four half-meter-long logs with carbonized surfaces.

Then he put up the planks which the bay leaves had split, first the two long planks for the stringers, and then the short planks across the long planks.

Finally, Rock laid a layer of spruce leaves on it, and after pressing it with waterproof pads, a simple but comfortable camping bed was ready.
