Chapter 10 Sign-in! Pottery Making Craft
Xing was stunned by what Lin Ye said.
In the end, she agreed to take Lin Ye with her.
After departing, Lin Ye realized that several people he knew by name were in the group.
Xing, Sakura, Shi, and Wen were all in this water-fetching team.
Upon seeing Lin Ye, Wen instinctively turned her backside to the side.
Besides the four of them, there were over a dozen other Beast-eared Girls.
Each person was carrying a wooden bucket.
This was done by hollowing out a tree trunk from the middle, which could then be used to hold water.
Xing led the way at the front, while Shi stayed at the rear to prevent surprise attacks from beasts.
Lin Ye followed behind a Fox-eared Girl.
Her fiery red tail swayed back and forth in front of Lin Ye, causing him to feel a bit dazed.
This was Lin Ye’s first time leaving the tribal camp since coming to this world.
As they walked along, Lin Ye noticed that most of the plants here were unfamiliar to him.
Some looked very similar to those on Earth, but their sizes were magnified many times over.
Lin Ye’s previous knowledge was largely irrelevant in this natural environment.
The group walked for about an hour.
Lin Ye suddenly heard a splashing sound of flowing water ahead.
After walking for another hundred meters or so.
A gently flowing small river suddenly appeared before Lin Ye.
At this point, Xing, who was at the front, stopped.
“Everyone stay here and try not to make any noise.”
After asking everyone to wait there, Xing, hunched over, took a few steps forward and began to observe the situation by the river.
This small river was the only water source in the vicinity.
There might be some beasts roaming near the river.
After a short while, Xing slowly retreated and then said.
“No signs of beast activity have been found. Hurry and get water, don’t linger by the river.”
Hearing Xing say this, several Beast-eared Girls came to the river to fetch water.
Lin Ye also walked to the riverbank and saw animal footprints scattered everywhere.
There were even droppings left by unknown animals.
Fortunately, the river water was flowing, which prevented excessive bacterial growth.
However, seeing animal excrement near the river made Lin Ye uncomfortable.
The thought of Sakura feeding him water from here when he was unconscious made his scalp tingle.
Lin Ye walked to a relatively clean area and began picking up pebbles the size of his thumb from the ground, stuffing them into his pockets.
He only stopped after filling all his pockets.
The Beast-eared Girls quickly fetched the water.
Xing began urging everyone to prepare to return.
Lin Ye followed them, starting to walk back.
All the way back, Lin Ye was pondering how to make a water purification device.
The good news was that the river water was flowing and wouldn’t breed too many bacteria.
However, the situation by the river was not optimistic, and the water fetched like this could not be drunk directly.
Lin Ye began to recall books on survival he had read before.
They detailed how to make a freshwater filter.
Halfway back, Sakura, the smallest, was already panting heavily, carrying her bucket of water.
Lin Ye heard Sakura’s labored gasps behind him.
So he turned around and took the wooden bucket from Sakura’s hands.
“I’ll help you carry it,” Lin Ye said softly after taking the bucket.
“Ye, you don’t have to, Sakura can carry it herself.”
When Sakura saw Lin Ye take the bucket, she quickly said to him.
But Lin Ye, looking at her heaving chest, ignored her.
Easily carrying the bucket with one hand, he turned and continued to follow the group.
Because Lin Ye had eaten a Strength Pill, his physical fitness had been enhanced.
This bucket of water was nothing to him.
Seeing Lin Ye effortlessly carrying the full bucket of water with one hand, Sakura was stunned on the spot, comparing it to her own struggled efforts.
It wasn’t until someone behind her urged her on that Sakura snapped out of her daze.
She quickly ran to Lin Ye’s side, wanting to take the bucket back.
But Lin Ye shook his head at her and then reached out to hold Sakura’s small hand.
With her hand held, and seeing Lin Ye’s relaxed demeanor, Sakura stopped insisting.
She obediently let Lin Ye hold her hand as they walked beside him.
Lin Ye continued walking with the bucket in one hand and Sakura’s hand in the other, following the group.
Since everyone was carrying the water buckets, they walked a bit slower on the way back.
After about an hour and a half, everyone safely returned to the tribal camp.
“Ye, give me the bucket now, I’ll put it in the cave.”
Back at the tribe, Sakura asked Lin Ye for the bucket again.
Seeing that they had reached the tribe, Lin Ye returned the bucket to Sakura.
After getting the bucket back, Sakura, along with the others, put all the filled buckets into the cave.
Lin Ye walked to the side, found a rock, and sat down. He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t signed in for the day.
“System, perform daily sign-in,” Lin Ye silently recited in his mind.
“Ding! Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the pottery making craft.”
Along with the system’s prompt, a large amount of knowledge about firing and making pottery flooded into Lin Ye’s mind.
Lin Ye spent a long time sorting through the knowledge that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Clay, seasoned material, drying in the sun, firing, so that’s how it’s done.”
“With pottery, it will be much more convenient to fetch water and store things. Moreover, with pottery, we can boil water and cook meat soup.”
After clarifying his thoughts, Lin Ye muttered to himself.
However, the top priority now was not to fire pottery, but to first make the water purifier.
Lin Ye went to the place where they had barbecued together the previous night.
Many incompletely burned charcoal pieces were scattered on the ground.
Lin Ye collected a pile of charcoal from the ground.
This was the most important component for making a water purifier.
Charcoal could adsorb most of the fine particles and toxins in the water.
