Building a camp in the banyan tree was for further consideration of camp safety.
It was now known that there were six top predators on the island: pythons, wild boars, bears, crocodiles, clouded leopards and Komodo dragons.
In order to comfortably survive on the island, the safety level of the camp had to be raised as much as possible.
Of these six predators, clouded leopards were afraid of humans, bears and wild boars were afraid of fire, pythons and Komodo dragons were afraid of irritating odors, crocodiles were afraid of almost nothing, thick-skinned and stubborn. Its most dangerous place was good at sneak attacks. If you were not careful, it would crawl through the cracks in the fence in the middle of the night and carry away a girl. At that time, would she even have time to cry?
Building the camp in the tree made the safety factor much higher.
It wasn't that crocodiles couldn't climb trees, but the larger the crocodile, the lower its ability to climb trees.
In other words, the more dangerous the crocodile, the less likely it was to attack people in the tree house.
What's more, the camp also had cows. Crocodiles with normal thinking would not give up the cows on the ground and climb the tree to eat girls.
The equally dangerous wild boars would not climb trees either.
Then plant cat's claw vines and other plants on the aerial roots of banyan trees to prevent invasion by pythons and Komodo dragons.
With the blazing campfire, other mammals would not rashly invade either.
Lu Zhe could also sleep soundly.
Lu Zhe told the girls his ideas and got everyone's unanimous approval!
Shen Bing nodded: "Yes, only tree houses built in trees can be called tree houses. What we have now is at best a tree shelter."
Ning Shu said, "That's right, we can build a big tree house!"
Lin Qianqian blushed and said, "I think a smaller one would be better. It would make us feel safer when we squeezed together."
Tang Xiaoguo said, "There's also Lu Zhe to help warm our feet!"
Jiang Yao stretched out her pretty feet and took a look: "Xiao Zhe has worked so hard. I won't take advantage of him like this. I can help warm his hands."
You see, the same thing, said from different perspectives, would produce different feelings.
Lu Zhe was very satisfied with what Jiang Yao said.
Which made Tang Xiaoguo pout dissatisfied.
"In that case, let's start upgrading the camp today. Although it will be very hard work, it will be worth it for our future home," said Lu Zhe.
Shen Bing also reminded: "We must also disturb the habitat of the monkeys as little as possible. These little things will eliminate the insects in our banyan tree and keep it clean."
After discussing plans with Shen Bing, Lin Qianqian designed the structural drawings of the tree house. The girls added and modified them.
In the end, Lu Zhe saw a castle-like thing built on the tree and fell into thought.
"I said, didn't you want a sense of security and want to build a smaller one?"
Ning Shu nodded: "Yes, our bedroom is small, but the living room, kitchen, closet, entertainment room, bathroom and other places can't be small!"
Lu Zhe looked at the drawings and nodded:
"To build this thing, ten banyan trees would be crushed to death! My beauties, this is a tree house. For safety, the whole thing has to be smaller. Can we think of something more sensible?"
"Got it!" The girls started discussing again.
After a long time, they finally figured out a decent one.
It was a fairy tale beautiful little house, 2.5 meters high, 9 square meters in area, 3 meters long and 3 meters wide.
It had beautiful arched doors, round windows, and a 9 square meter balcony at the door where you could see the sea view to the east, the bay to the south, the woods to the west, and faintly see the small lake in the distance.
Below was a spiral staircase surrounding the banyan tree trunk.
It was definitely designed with elements from the Southeast Asian guys' videos in Ning Shu's phone.
Although a bit fancy, it was still a good idea. At least it was feasible.
Then start working!
Compared to when they first arrived on the island, they didn't even dare to think about such a tree house.
But now, with handy tools and experience in building shelters, many things became simple.
Lu Zhe and Shen Bing climbed the tree to determine the location of the tree house, and then pruned the banyan tree.
Make sure most of the tree house is hidden in the foliage, but also allow some to enjoy sunlight.
Lu Zhe cut down a lot of straight bamboos and lined them up along the aerial roots.
The bottom had to bear the weight of six people and had to be made entirely of thick bamboo.
After tying each one tightly, the four pillars also had to be thick bamboo, but the four walls could be woven with bamboo strips into soft walls.
The day and night temperature difference in the interior of the volcanic island was not as great as outside, and the woven bamboo strip walls could block the gentle sea breeze and the peeping of monkeys, which was basically enough.
The roof was originally going to be tiled with bamboo strips, but after working all day, it was really exhausting to split so many tiles, so I had to temporarily top it with palm leaves for now.
By nightfall, the outline of the tree house was finished. Although the doors, windows, balcony and stairs were not yet installed, only a simple ladder was made, covered with straw, bear skins and sheepskins, it was barely habitable inside.
After working hard all day, everyone was a little tired physically and mentally.
Taking a bath, drying off, and comfortably sleeping was more important than anything.
But Lu Zhe was destined not to sleep very comfortably this night.
In his sleep, someone's foot rested on his neck and he couldn't breathe for a long time.
Just as he pushed it aside, someone kicked him straight in the face.
That was nothing. The key was that other reasons made him unable to fall asleep at all.
No, being so close to these girls was too much of a test. It was better to sleep alone.
He had to run under the tree again to barely make it through the night.
But this kind of experience was destined not to be peaceful. In the middle of the night, he still had a dream.
Lu Zhe thought, this should be an ordinary dream!
But no!
When he opened his eyes early in the morning, he found that Jiang Yao was sleeping in front of him.
He was shocked and exclaimed: "Yao Yao, you..."
Jiang Yao had her eyes closed with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, and said in an almost inaudible soft tone: "Morning!"
"When did you come down?"
"Not long after you came down. I was afraid you would be lonely. And I thought that since I'm on duty today, I'd come down specially to accompany you!"
Lu Zhe felt a little weird!
Why was it that whenever some other dangerous animal appeared, he could keenly perceive it, but when the girl did something next to him, his five senses were dulled?
"So..."
She opened her eyes, full of tenderness.
"Anyway, the one you owed me has been compensated, although it's a little different from what I imagined, it's still unforgettable."
Lu Zhe smiled wryly: "At least find me when I'm awake!"
But he secretly panicked. How awkward would it have been if he had unconsciously called out Xiaoguo's name in the middle of the night?
Jiang Yao also sat up and tied up her hair with her little socks.
Her actions were naturally graceful, speeding up Lu Zhe's heartbeat.
Knowing each other for so long, he never realized that Yao Yao was so beautiful.
Could this be the nourishment of love?

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
