Chapter 174: Changes after the Flood, the Rotting Whale
After an hour of careful craftsmanship, a large, quaint wooden bow was made.

Because he had been guarding the river for so long, Su Mu also discovered that there were not only precious fish in the river, but also some rare and powerful spiritual beasts on the shore.

This bow is just perfect for hunting or something.

This bow was also the inspiration given to me by the man who crossed the river last time. I think his name was "Butcher". He carried an exaggerated bronze bow on his back, which looked very domineering.

Therefore, Su Mu also rewarded himself with a large bow.

What's still missing is the bowstring. The upper limit of a bow lies in the string, but right now I can't find suitable material for the string. Let's put it aside for now.

See if I can find suitable materials later.

Su Mu also made a wooden sword and tested its combat effectiveness. He found that the sword made of this wood was even better than all of Su Mu’s swords!
Wow, the value of this tree is much higher than I thought!

Anyway, there is still so much wood, and a lot of things can be made.

In total, I made two wooden bows, three wooden swords, two sets of tables and chairs, two wooden doors, and then I also made myself a set of tea sets, teacups, teapots and so on.

Then the wooden cover of the water cellar was replaced with a new one.

In total, only one-tenth of the wood was used, so there was still a lot left.

Su Mu plans to make a small boat for his daughter. After all, it is reasonable to have a wooden boat by the river, right?
However, building a boat is a big job, and since it was his first time, it took Su Mu two full days to finish only half of it.

Because Su Mu couldn't spend all his time on this all day, his main task was to earn favor points every day.

The flood some time ago not only allowed Su Mu to pick up a lot of treasures, but also earned him a lot of favor points.

Because the flood destroyed a lot of stone dams, a lot of garbage and other things were also washed up, and some fish and shrimps were washed up on the river beach. Every time Su Mu went out for patrol, he would basically have four to five thousand points.

It was also the first time for him to experience the feeling of picking up money. In one word, it was awesome!

Early in the morning of that day, Su Mu came to a low-lying river beach, which was severely affected by the flood. Several dams were washed away, causing the main river channel to rush wildly towards the tributaries.

If not maintained, it will cause the water level of the tributary to rise and flood the countless vegetation along the tributary.

Repairing this kind of dam that has been washed away beyond recognition will earn you a lot of favor points. A very small stone dam will cost at least 2,000 favor points.

The river beach was full of various kinds of fish washed up by the flood, including flounder, big crucian carp, big black carp, big grass carp, as well as some shells and shrimps.

Many of them died, but a small number were still alive, and Su Mu released them all back into the river.

As for those dead fish, they had a strong smell of decay, so Su Mu couldn't pick them up and take them home to eat. Things were different now. Su Mu had no shortage of these precious fish meats, so there was no need to eat these dead, stale fish.

However, it is impossible to let these dead fish rot on the river bank. It looks too dirty, so they will be cleaned up and thrown into the river.

Although they don't eat the dead fish themselves, other large carnivorous fish in the river will eat them. These dead fish are also delicious food for them.

Su Mu sat on the river bank, looking at the river bank that he had cleaned up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he was a little tired, he felt satisfied!

In just these two hours, 20,000 favor points were credited to his account, and he earned 10,000 per hour. With this rate of return and this kind of work, Su Mu could do it for a year without stopping!
After cleaning up, Su Mu walked towards the next section of water.

Suddenly, as he was walking, Su Mu smelled a foul odor.

I don't know how to describe this stench, it's like the stench of a corpse that has been rotting for decades combined with the smell of rotten wood and rust that has been decaying for thousands of years, coming from the water ahead.

Just by taking a whiff of it, I felt unwell and my body instinctively felt uncomfortable.

Moreover, the further you go forward, the stronger the smell becomes.

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Mu also closed his sense of smell and continued to move forward. Soon, after passing through a small bush, he came to a new body of water.

This area is a tributary area, so this is Su Mu’s first time here.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Mu also widened his eyes.

A huge whale was stranded on the shore, its body had already rotted. The stench that I just smelled came from this whale.

When I got closer, I found that it was a killer whale. Compared with the normal size of whales, this one was not very big, only one-fifth of the normal size.

Half of the whale's body was missing, either rotted away or missing, as if someone had gnawed it off.

Moreover, the river channel of this tributary is so narrow, how can it accommodate such a large whale?

It must have been washed here by the flood.

At this time, there was a rustling noise coming from the whale's belly.

The next second, several vultures flew out of the stomach, with a few pieces of meat in their mouths. When they saw Su Mu coming, they were like seeing a ghost. Five vultures, holding the meat, flew away in five directions.

It was as if they were afraid that Su Mu would snatch food from them.

It wasn't like someone took away some valuable treasure, so Su Mu was too lazy to chase after him.

It seems that this whale was eaten by the spiritual beasts on the shore.

Suddenly, several more snakes came out of the whale's body and fled frantically. Then, a dozen large crabs rushed out of its stomach, also holding pieces of meat, and fled into the river.

This whale is so rotten, but it still attracts so many animals to eat it.

Su Mu took out a small knife, cut off a piece of meat, opened his sense of smell, brought it to his nose and sniffed it.

The next second, a strong stench rushed into his nasal cavity and went straight to his soul, almost making Su Mu vomit.

This kind of stench is no longer just a simple "smell". When you smell it, your body will instinctively resist it.

Su Mu quickly closed his sense of smell and threw the rotten meat back.

too disgusting
We have to clean up this rotten meat quickly, so that we can get a lot of favor points.

Su Mu's spiritual power burst out, and he held up the whale's body, ready to throw it into the river so that the big fish in the river could quickly share it.

However, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard Su Mu tried, he could not lift the whale.

There seemed to be something in the fish's stomach, nailing its body firmly to the shore.

Su Mu suppressed his nausea and cut open the whale's belly.

It has been dead for so long, but the skin on its belly is still so strong.

After cutting a three-meter-wide hole, he looked into the whale's belly.

Suddenly he saw something, Su Mu's pupils shrank suddenly and his body was stunned.

ps: I can't hold on any longer, so I'll add another chapter and continue updating during the day tomorrow.
