Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 227: Skill Gift Pack
"System, open the weekly gift pack."
Xu Yi said in his mind, hoping to hear some surprises.
"Ding, youโve gained Metal Forging Technique (Beginner)." ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ต.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
"Ding, youโve gained the skill Spiritual Binding (can bind target for 2 seconds)."
Skill?
Spiritual Binding?
Xu Yi sat up immediately, somewhat shocked.
Bind the target for two seconds?
Does it mean the opponent canโt move for 2 seconds?
This is... incredible!
With his current speed and agility, he could complete a chopping action in two seconds. Combined with his machete, he could effectively perform a decapitation action!
Thatโs why Xu Yi was quite shocked.
He felt that this gift pack, received on his birthday, was even more powerful than the monthly one!
"System, extract the skill," Xu Yi couldnโt wait and said, eager to learn how to use this exciting skill.
As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, he felt a slight jolt in his head.
"So easy?" Xu Yi felt as if he had been born with it, which was quite amazing.
Indeed, he could make a target stop completely for two seconds.
"So, only after spiritual enhancement can you use the binding skills, otherwise they are useless. Also, the binding time isnโt fixed; as oneโs Spiritual Power grows stronger, the binding duration will also increase."
Of course, if he encounters a target with strong spiritual strength, the Spiritual Binding might fail or the duration might be shortened.
But regardless, this skill is extremely powerful for Xu Yi at the moment.
Dealing with those beasts is absolutely no problem.
Two seconds may be brief, but sometimes it can turn the tide and even save lives.
As for the Metal Forging skill, Xu Yi wasnโt too bothered.
He hasnโt encountered any metal mines yet, so where would he get the chance to do metal forging?
Originally, he had a belt buckle, but it disappeared during that big storm.
However, Xu Yi, of course, wouldnโt just ignore it. Since the skillโs at hand, he naturally wouldnโt dismiss it.
So, he gave the command and absorbed the Metal Forging Technique.
After getting it done, Xu Yi stepped out of the house and jumped off the Stilt House.
"Xu Yi, I brewed some honey water, would you like a cup first?" Lu Ke asked upon seeing Xu Yi jump down. She got up early and had already completed her practice of the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening and Basic Fighting Techniques.
"No need, Iโll drink it later," Xu Yi replied and then started practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.
The more he practiced, the more he realized the advantages of the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening. So, he insisted on practicing it every day.
During practice, Xu Yi noticed a number 60 written in charcoal on a pillar.
Indeed, today marks the 60th day since they arrived on this planet.
Perhaps thatโs why Lu Ke brewed honey water.
Life still needs a bit of ritual.
Besides the honey water, Lu Ke also picked up a piece of bamboo and inserted some small flowers picked by the stream.
It looked quite nice and created a cozy atmosphere at once.
After practice, Xu Yi washed up and then drank a cup of honey water.
Then, together with Lu Ke, they carried round dustpans to the rooftop and laid out strawberry slices to dry under the sun.
After completing this task, Xu Yi and Lu Ke went out.
Xu Yi hoped to hunt some beasts every day, so there would be daily points accounted for. Otherwise, heโd feel like the day went to waste.
However, good ideas donโt always pan out.
At least, the whole morning passed without Xu Yi and Lu Ke encountering any beasts.
They did come across goats and wild rabbits. However, Xu Yi and Lu Ke didnโt make a move.
With plenty of jerky on hand, they werenโt really interested in herbivores that couldnโt provide points.
"Xu Yi, there are really quite a lot of goats here, weโve come across two herds, each with over a dozen goats," Lu Ke said, resting against a tree, and took out some jerky from her bag.
It was already past 11, so they could have lunch.
"Thatโs why there are so many beasts. With these animals around, it can sustain a large beast population." Xu Yi chewed on the jerky and glanced at a rabbit in the distance.
Indeed, there were quite a lot, which is why he hadnโt made a move.
Perhaps on the way back, they could catch a rabbit, and have fresh meat for dinner.
After all, fresh meat is tastier than jerky.
If they could eat fresh meat every day, Xu Yi wouldnโt mind letting the smoked meat spoil.
But for lunch, jerky is more convenient.
Otherwise, starting a fire to cook would waste quite a bit of time.
After eating and resting for a while, the two resumed their exploration.
"Itโs two oโclock, we should head back," Xu Yi said after checking the time.
After all, they needed to return to the camp; if they went further, there wouldnโt be enough time to return.
"Yes, this should be the furthest we can explore in a day unless we donโt return to the camp," Lu Ke nodded. They hadnโt prepared to spend the night out yet.
"Itโs a pity we havenโt found a new water source. Finding Wang Jin and Lu Yaoโs camp wonโt be easy," Lu Ke said a bit disappointed, glancing into the distance.
"Itโs possible, we still have 40 days until the 100th day," Xu Yi thought that if it really came to it, he could spend a couple of days out alone and probably find it.
But right now, it wasnโt necessary.
"Right, letโs head back," said Lu Ke, turning around.
"Hey, Xu Yi, doesnโt that over there look like flax?" Lu Ke pointed in a direction.
"Letโs take a look, it might really be," Xu Yi said happily. If there were flax flowers, they could not only make ropes but also weave clothes from flax.
Currently, both he and Lu Ke didnโt have a change of clothes, especially undergarments.
While the point shop had clothes to exchange for, even a single pair of underwear cost 10 points.
Killing two wolves for a single pair of underwear didnโt seem worthwhile to Xu Yi, so he hadnโt wanted to exchange.
Being able to make them from flax would be best.
After all, spending your evenings doing nothing is just a waste.
He could see clearer than Lu Ke, so he was fairly certain it was flax.
In addition to making clothes and ropes, flax could also be used to make paper.
They had enjoyed having paper for a few days, and suddenly being without it was quite an adjustment.
So, the two of them ran over.
As they were about to approach, Xu Yi suddenly pulled Lu Ke back.
