Chapter 8: Survival on a Deserted Island

Young people like Gao Fei, who live in the reinforced concrete jungle of modern cities, rarely have the opportunity to experience the wild life away from the hustle and bustle. The primitive scenery on the desert island is a novel experience for him.

However, not far out of the bushy valley, he discovered that there was actually a murderous intention behind the quiet natural scenery.

Not to mention anything else, there are no less than ten kinds of venomous snakes on the island. There may be venomous snakes hiding behind every patch of grass and in the branches of every big tree.

Goofy was not alert enough at first, and was bitten by a poisonous snake lurking in the bushes. His health was -1. Fortunately, Brother Basaka has a strong physique and passed the exemption without being poisoned.

From then on, Gao Fei learned a lesson and controlled Basaka to break an ash tree, shave off the branches with a dagger, leaving only the smooth and straight trunk, and made a giant wooden stick with a thick head and a thin tail, more than two meters long. .

This big stick made from local materials is classified as a simple weapon according to the weapons in the game world.

Basaka has proficiency in simple weapons, and the berserker is good at using "giant weapons" held in both hands. He wields this large wooden club in battle, and has an advantage in attack rolls.

Another advantage of a long enough stick is that it can be used to explore paths.

In order to get a broader view, Gao Fei switched to God's perspective and ordered Basaka to slow down and explore the valley. Before taking a step, he would use a wooden stick to scan the surrounding grass in advance to drive out the snakes and insects hiding in the dark. A stick flew away.

The basic damage die of the big stick is 1D8 (1~8). Taking into account Basaka's 4-point strength modifier, the final damage is 5~12.

The largest venomous snake I encountered along the way had less than 10 health points. When it was hit, it was bloody and bloody, turning into experience points.

The challenge level of an ordinary poisonous snake is almost 0, and it can only provide a pitiful 10 experience points. However, little things add up, and in this clearing process, no more than a dozen venomous snakes were killed, and the accumulated experience points have exceeded that of the orc jailers.

According to this momentum, Gao Fei only needs to kill a few more poisonous snakes and collect 300 experience points to upgrade Basaka to a level 2 berserker.

After spending more than half an hour walking through the woods on the west side of the island, the valley ahead reached the end, and what appeared in front of Gao Fei was a cave hidden among the trees.

Based on his intuition, Gao Fei guessed that there must be a ferocious beast in the cave, and quickly issued a mental command, telling Basaka to tread lightly.

Sure enough, as soon as they approached the entrance of the cave, the roar of wild beasts came from the depths of the dark cave, and in the blink of an eye, a cave bear rushed out, with its mane black and shiny, and its eyes full of ferocity.

The bear regarded Basaka as an intruder and roared intimidatingly at him, sometimes waving its paws and displaying its claws like iron hooks.

The barbarian prince held his big stick high, eager to rush forward and fight the bear.

Gao Fei quickly told him not to be impulsive and opened the astrolabe to check the cave bear's illustrated book.

The cave black bear's six attributes are strength 19, agility 13, constitution 16, intelligence 2, perception 13, and charisma 7. The challenge level is the same as that of the orc jailer, but its health and strength attributes are higher than those of the orc jailer.

What's especially scary is that this bear is naturally good at "multiple attacks". It can hit twice per round, causing 5~10 (1d6+4) points of damage with each attack.

Basaka's health points are only 10 points. As long as he is slapped twice by the ferocious black bear, he will immediately rush to the street!

It was obviously not a good idea to confront the black bear head-on. Gao Fei quickly observed the environment near the cave, and before the black bear rushed over, he controlled Basaka to hide behind a big tree.

The black bear realized that the intruder had not left, but was still hiding behind the tree and peeking at him furtively. He felt uneasy and rushed over angrily, trying to go around the trunk and bite the intruder.

Gao Fei quickly controlled Basaka to dodge, using the big tree as a cover, and used the famous "Qin King around the pillar" movement technique in the world. He narrowly avoided the black bear's aggressive attack, swung the big stick, and hit the black bear's chin hard. Knocked out two bloody teeth.

At this time, Gao Fei received a novice teaching tip from the system and learned that the tree-circling tactic he had just used was in line with the "half cover" rule in the game.

The character uses obstacles such as trees to hinder the enemy while launching a counterattack, and can gain an additional 2 points of defense and reflex save bonus. This is the so-called "half cover".

More comprehensively protected bunkers, such as tower shields, parapets, and fortresses, also provide higher defense bonuses. However, this kind of "3/4 cover" or even "full cover" favorable environment is difficult to obtain in the wilderness.

While checking the novice tutorial, Gao Fei controlled the Barsaka to circle the tree and deal with the black bear. When he was cold, he swung the stick, which made the black bear howl and scream, even though he was angry, he couldn't do anything.

The battle lasted for two minutes. The black bear, whose head was beaten with a big stick, finally realized that his opponent was too cunning and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he turned around and tried to escape back to the cave.

Basaka, this reckless man, chased after him without thinking!

Gao Fei quickly shouted to stop him, but failed to rein in the wild horse in time. He could only watch the barbarian prince roaring out, catching up with the injured black bear in two or three steps, and beating him wildly with a big stick. In the blink of an eye, In an instant, the bear's head was smashed open, blood splattered, and the scene was so brutal that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Before dying, the black bear fought back desperately and slapped Basaka. Its sharp claws tore three gaps in the leather armor, and blood oozed out.

Gao Fei was so angry that he secretly cursed Basaka for not having any brains, and quickly opened the status bar to check the injury.

Fortunately, there was leather armor blocking the wound, so the wound was not fatal. However, Basaka's HP was only 4 points.

Gao Fei spent another two gold coins to buy a roll of linen bandage and a small bottle of liquor in the system store, and gave them to Basaka, telling him to clean and bandage the wound to prevent excessive blood loss or death from tetanus infection.

During this time when he was not paying attention, the barbarian brother gave him a new job. He actually drank the half bottle of liquor left after cleaning the wound... in one gulp! Afterwards, he smacked his lips and thanked the gods for the gift of wine with an unsatisfied look.

The young man has a good mentality! His life is almost gone, and he still has the leisure to drink two cups? !

Gao Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and even regretted choosing a barbarian protagonist with muscles in his head to open up the wasteland.

Gao Fei sighed helplessly and looked back to check the battle record.

After hunting the cave black bear, Basaka gained another 100 experience points, and the accumulated total experience points exceeded 300, which should be enough to upgrade to a level 2 berserker, but Gao Fei couldn't find the upgrade option.

At this time, the star disk sent a reminder, telling him that the protagonist team in the adventure module could not automatically upgrade their level by accumulating enough experience points, but also had to complete the corresponding main storyline and reach the so-called "story milestone" before they could upgrade.

The question is, where is the next main storyline?
