Chapter 23: Forest Wilderness Survival

Jerry had already made preparations before coming! After arriving in the forest, Jerry discovered that there was nothing, it was a proper reality version of wilderness survival. Jerry had watched many survival programs in his previous life, but many of them were mostly acting. Now that Jerry himself was facing the wilderness, he knew how difficult it was.

First, he had to solve the place to live, commonly known as a shelter! Jerry and Xiao Wu were both Spirit Masters, and their physical strength was still very good. Plus the Titan Giant Ape, a super lumberjack with equivalent infinite physical strength, they quickly prepared the wood for building the house! And don't say, the Titan Giant Ape's logging was really fast, one kick per tree!

Because their physical strength was good, they worked fast, and soon built a small wooden house by the lake! Jerry originally wanted to make it more beautiful, but the actual situation was that Jerry didn't understand carpentry or house design. He thought a lot, but in the end, he built a flat-roofed wooden house. He originally wanted to build a triangular structure on the roof, but after experimenting a few times, he really couldn't build it well! So he just laid a layer of wooden boards and found some big tree leaves to cover a layer on top. The bed was still very simple. Who told the trees here to be so big! He just took a big wooden stake and sawed it into a rectangular shape, and that counted as a bed. Daily necessities like bedding were all bought before. He carried a big bag. Who told Jerry not to use space equipment! Otherwise, he would have bought more.

Then he took Erming to reclaim a piece of wasteland and planted the seeds of vegetables and food he brought!

One advantage of this world was that it was full of spirit power everywhere, and most of what plants absorbed when growing was the spirit power in the soil, not the fertilizer like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium he knew in his previous life. For any plant, absorbing sufficient spirit power could grow into a spirit beast (except for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the terrain was special, and plants wouldn't become spirit beasts even if they grew for ten thousand years).

Ordinary civilians wouldn't use fertilizer, and they harvested the crops before they could absorb enough spirit power to grow into plant-type spirit beasts! And the fertilizer Jerry made accelerated the process of plants absorbing spirit power, which was why Jerry could cultivate plant-type spirit beasts before! He wasn't afraid of the method of making fertilizer from Blue Silver Grass that he taught the villagers before, because Blue Silver Grass had very little spirit power, and even if made into fertilizer, there wasn't much. At most, it increased crop yields by a few percent. For crops to truly absorb Blue Silver Grass fertilizer and grow into decade-old spirit beasts, it would take several years, and crops were harvested once a year, so there was no growth time at all!

Looking at the house and the vegetable plot, Jerry and Xiao Wu were very gratified. After all, they were going to live here in the future, so they had to be self-sufficient!

Daming and Erming could now go without eating. Relying on practice, they wouldn't be hungry. Erming was greedy and would often go to catch some century-old or thousand-year spirit beasts to eat. Ten-thousand-year spirit beasts already had wisdom, so Erming didn't eat ten-thousand-year ones! Xiao Wu and Jerry needed to eat, but they didn't eat much. Erming caught a century-old Gale Giant Wolf and brought it back. This kind of spirit beast mainly had a huge body and could also use wind-attribute attacks, and its reproductive ability was particularly strong, in groups! So it became one of Erming's favorite foods! Jerry and Xiao Wu ate very little and were full, and the rest were eaten by Erming. After eating, Jerry collected all the bones, then hammered them into bone powder. He buried a part in the vegetable plot, and buried the rest in a big pit dug at the door, and then planted his martial soul on it! The martial soul could absorb it automatically. Of course, if Jerry practiced actively, it would be faster!

Seeing Jerry's approach, Erming asked Jerry. Jerry told Erming that the meat and bones of spirit beasts all contained spirit power. After a spirit beast died, most of the spirit power would condense into a spirit ring. If no one absorbed the spirit ring, it would dissipate naturally, and the spirit power would return to heaven and earth! Spirit beast meat and bones also contained some spirit power. Eating spirit beast meat could not only slightly enhance physical fitness but also accelerate some practice. So many Spirit Masters relied on hunting spirit beasts for a living. Spirit beast bones were very hard and couldn't be eaten, so for others, they were useless things, but for plants, grinding them into powder was natural fertilizer, which was easier than absorbing spirit power from the air! This was my martial soul's special cultivation method! When Xiao Wu and I fished for spirit beast fish in the mountains behind the village before, some meat was shared with the villagers, and the fish bones were all used as fertilizer! At that time, to accelerate practice, I also used some leftover meat to make fertilizer!
