Kapitel 19: Finishing the Base/Hunting

Daedalus had woken up early again and immediately went to work on the base building project.

He first started working on the different rooms, slowly making all the planks he would need to finish each room. Then he made each pillar he would need and that was a total of twenty pillars.

After working on the pillars and planks for his base for a few hours, Daedalus finally started setting up the walls for each room. The storage room required twelve pillars and the bedroom required eight, Daedalus had already carefully measured out the exact amount he would need and he was right. Everything fit perfectly together and made a nice looking base.

The base now looked like a circular room within the center with two doors leading into a bigger and smaller room. One room had a lot of boxes while the other had a bed a chest and two bedstand which gave the room a nice homely feeling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having finished his work on his base Daedalus had decided to go outside and hunt both for food and some materials like the tiger like creatures pelt which was super soft and he used for his pillow.

Arriving at the grove of trees like last time Daedalus began wandering about hoping to find an animal to hunt. After a few hours with no luck whatsoever Daedalus began trying to track any animals footprints he could find. Trying this method half the time Daedalus ended up tracking himself or old tracks, some times he would find fresh tracks that suddenly disappeared.

As he was about to give up Daedalus turned to look one last time. Just out of the corner of his eye Daedalus saw what looked like a deer. Seeing that deer Daedalus quickly pulled out void slasher and quietly walked up behind the deer. The deer seemed too hear him at the last second but before it could run Daedalus cut at its head, removing the head from its body.

Daedalus then grabbed the animal and carried it on his back all the way back to his base before setting it down outside. Daedalus had decided to skin the deer like creature outside as he did not want the smell near were he slept. After he skinned the deer and let the meet bleed he tied the corners of the hide onto different corners of a table like contraption that would slowly stretch until the hide could not go any further Daedalus had designed and made this just after making his bed and it worked like a charm. Daedalus then put this just inside the door to his base and dragged the near bloodless deer corpse over to his fire that was in the middle of the base, right next to the crafting area in the center of the room.

He then began cutting the dear into segments before he began to cook it. Every now and then while these segments of deer meat were cooking Daedalus would put some spice or other ingredients on top resulting in a masterpiece in the art of cooking.

After eating about a quarter of the deers meat Daedalus cleaned up then got in his bed and went to sleep in preparation of the next day.
