NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20 - Cave
This rock is very big, about four or five meters high and twelve or thirteen meters long. Because of weathering, many rock fragments have fallen off the rock and fallen to the ground.
There are similar rocks in the oasis and the nearby desert. Mai Dongzi knew at a glance that this was volcanic rock, and the volcanic rock in front of her was undoubtedly the largest one.
Mai Dongzi walked around the rock and then stabbed the volcanic rock with a dagger. She found that the dagger pierced into it easily. She realized how sharp the daggers in the interstellar era were.
Mai Dongzi originally planned to continue to burn clay bricks, but today, when she saw this volcanic rock, an idea suddenly came to her mind, so she decided to give it a try.
After trying it and feeling okay, she began to try
to dig a hole with a dagger more than one meter above the ground.
Mai Dongzi is now quite strong, and with a sharp dagger, she quickly dug out a shallow rock hole with a diameter of about one meter.
She estimated it in her mind and continued to dig inside.
“Hey, what is Miss Lucy going to do again?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Digging a hole.”
“Ah, I thought so. Miss Lucy used a dagger to stab this rock yesterday. It turns out that she was planning to hit this rock. But why is she digging this rock?”
“No, I said you guys can’t grasp the key point. Who can’t see what Miss Lucy is doing? The question is, why is she digging this rock?”
Not only the person who asked this question was full of doubts, but everyone in Lucy Xi’s live broadcast room also had such a question mark. Why is Miss Lucy digging this rock hole? They really can’t guess.
The audience, who is used to not getting answers is not disappointed. They firmly believe that they will get the answer if they continue watching.
Because the dagger is very powerful, Mai Dongzi’s digging the rock is not as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, but it is not difficult. And she found that after digging for a long time, the dagger was still not damaged, which shows that its quality is very guaranteed.
With a sharp blade in hand, Mai Dongzi moved quickly, but the rock cave was not so easy to dig. She only dug a passage two meters deep and one and a half meters high before she had to rest.
Mai Dongzi wiped her sweat and drank a lot of boiled water. Digging this thing was more tiring than practicing, especially because it was only one and a half meters high. She had to bend over, which was too tiring.
Because she felt that time was a bit tight, Mai Dongzi rested for a while, stretched her waist, and continued to dig the rock cave.
When she stopped at night and went back to the wooden house to rest, the curious audience couldn’t wait to drive the micro live ball into the rock cave.
Entering from the dug rock cave, through a passage that only allows one person to bend over to enter, the cave wall inside suddenly became wide and high, about two meters in both height and width.
Although it was just a childish figure, the audience was not stupid and could roughly see what Lucy Xi wanted to do.
“Why did Miss Lucy dig a rock cave? Doesn’t she have a tree house? It seems that the rock cave is far less comfortable than the treehouse hole. Why bother with it?” Some viewers who didn’t know the reason asked curiously.
“These days, this fake daughter has been doing some useless work. I don’t know if she wants to attract attention…”
“You are the one who is doing useless work. If you don’t know, don’t say it. Miss Lucy didn’t even interact with the live broadcast room. It’s obvious that she doesn’t care about these things. Think about the past two months. Since then, she has suffered all kinds of online violence. She can’t even hate it; why does she want to attract attention? Don’t think we are stupid. If you want to fool us, find some good excuses.” Some viewers directly responded.
“Yes, digging a rock hole is hard work. If she wants to attract attention, she doesn’t need to do these things. Won’t it be better to sing and dance?”
“This Lucy Xi can’t sing or dance. She studied painting.”
The guards of the eldest prince, who have been trained to watch Miss Lucy’s replays whenever they have time after returning from training in the past few days, are very appreciative of the audience’s questions about her digging a rock hole.
Zhang Shenshang, a member of the guards, said: “It seems that Miss Lucy has done her homework very well. She knew that the sandstorm was coming, and her tree house could not withstand the ravages of the sandstorm, so she built another sturdy residence.“
“In the information we published, it is specifically marked that in the desert and desert areas, there will be a fierce sandstorm almost every month. Anyone who has read the relevant information should have noticed this.” Adjutant Chen said.
“The most important thing is that Miss Lucy can think of digging a rock cave, which shows that her mind is better than we expected.” Zhang Shenshang said.
After adjutant Chen saw Zhang Shenshang say this about Miss Lucy, Prince Arthur’s mouth curled up slightly, and his expression was also a little happy. He couldn’t help but sigh that Zhang Shenshang was really good at talking.
“The more attention I pay, the more I think Miss Lucy is not simple,” adjutant Chen sighed sincerely.
“There are two other adventurers on the desert map. They are also prepared for the coming sandstorm. But one of them is still not prepared enough, and I am afraid he can’t survive.” Another guard named George Ben said.
“There is no terrain around him that can serve as a shelter, but he can leave the desert and enter the forest. He is only more than 100 kilometers away from the forest.” Zhang Shenshang said.
“Based on the current situation, the desert is much safer than the forest.” Adjutant Chen said.
“These one hundred adventurers are all very strong, and no one has been eliminated so far.” Fu Yijia, who has the highest cultivation and the fewest words among the three guards, also spoke.
On the morning of the fifth day, Mai Dongzi went running as usual. After breakfast, she continued to dig in the rock cave and did not stop until noon.
In the afternoon, Mai Dongzi stopped digging the rock cave and went to the cave.
Mai Dongzi tested the temperature inside the cave and found that after a day and two nights of cooling, the ceramics in the cave should have been completely cooled and formed.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched Mai Dongzi take out those gray clay utensils from the cave, and they couldn’t guess what she was going to use these things for.
After the explanation of the experts from the Institute of Ancient Culture, they already knew that this was how they were going to make the pottery. The utensils are called ceramics, and they can be used to hold water.
When Maidongzi was burning the cave, she swept all the wood ashes into one place and then burned all the shrubs she had pulled back from the oasis lake.
She filled a funnel-shaped ceramic with a lot of charcoal, which she had processed and had been knocked into fine particles, which she compacted neatly.
Then she carried a ceramic jar with a lid and handles on both sides to the lake, placed the funnel on the mouth of the ceramic jar, used a smaller ceramic jar to draw water, and poured the water on the funnel.
