Chapter 124 Extra 1

In the primitive and strange jungle, there are dense magical plants. It seems that it has just rained. The crystal water droplets on the leaves of the plants are flowing in colorful colors, attracting all kinds of small insects that cannot be seen on the blue planet to eat them.

"How about I carry you on my back?" Liu Ben said as they walked.

You Ying held a wooden stick in his hand and occasionally pushed the grass and trees in front of him: "No, I'll take a look myself first."

As if he saw some beautiful plants, You Ying took out his cell phone, squatted down and started taking pictures.

This is a colorful small plant with transparent lines. The part above the ground is composed of only two thick and cute heart-shaped leaves on each side, and I don’t know what’s underground.

"It looks a bit like the carrot in the animation." You Yingying said to Liu Ben who squatted next to him.

In the animation, the radish leaves curve left and right, looking a bit cute. Then a white rabbit jumps into the frame, grabs the leaves, and pulls hard, pulling its body straight back. Finally, the radish is pulled out of the ground with a "boom", and the inertia pulls the rabbit out of the frame. In a more exaggerated way, the rabbit will even hit the wall, making a hole in the shape of the rabbit and the radish before falling to the ground.

Of course, in reality, radish leaves are very fragile. If you pull the leaves with exaggerated force, the leaves will most likely be torn off, but the radish is still in the ground and motionless, so pulling the radish out requires skill.

When Liu Ben heard You Ying say this, he also remembered the animation of pulling radishes. He felt a little itchy, so he reached out and pinched a leaf.

He didn't intend to bite it directly, he just wanted to pinch it first to see how it felt. It turned out to be quite pleasant, soft, springy, and slippery.

As a result, before Liu Ben could move much, the leaf started to shake by itself. Liu Ben withdrew his hand in surprise, and saw that the ground under the leaf moved. After a while, a radish-shaped blue "rhizome" drilled out of the soil by itself, turned half a circle, revealing a pair of pink eyes at the back.

Liu Ben, You Ying: What the hell?

"Radish" flapped its two small fleshy leaves and actually flew in the air. It looked at Liu Ben and You Ying in turn, then stared at Liu Ben's hand for a while, and finally looked at Liu Ben.

Liu Ben hid the hand that had just squeezed it behind his back in order to hide the truth.

A small creature that looked like a radish flew in front of him, sprayed dirt all over his face with a "puff" sound, and then immediately flapped its leaves and flew away with a "whoosh".

Liu Ben and You Ying looked at each other, with some dirt residue still hanging on Liu Ben's face.

"Pfft, hahaha!" You Ying laughed, and Liu Ben looked helpless.

It seems like this is a strange world. So how did Liu Ben and You Ying get here?

An hour ago, Liu Ben and You Ying were caught by the original system that loved to play pranks, the mysterious big black cat. The big black cat said that he wanted to punish greedy humans, so he threw them into this world, let them reflect here, and pick them up tomorrow.

But in Liu Ben's words, this is a one-day travel plan that is not dangerous at all, because this world is none other than Liu Ben's hometown where he lived for a long time in his previous life!

However, Liu Ben now doesn't know where exactly they were thrown. This continent is really big. Most of the orcs live in the Orc Wilderness and nearby forests, swamps, ponds and other places. The area of ​​all these places combined may be the size of several ordinary countries on Earth combined, but it is less than one percent of the entire continent.

With such a large continent and no mobile phones or base stations, there is actually a lack of communication between the various ethnic groups living separately.

So Liu Ben was really unfamiliar with the place where he fell. He could only see that it was a place close to the forest, full of all kinds of magical plants, but he didn't know which direction to go home.

Actually, although Aben's parents took back all of Aben's land, they didn't treat him very badly. The way the half-bull orcs raise their children is relatively rough (except for females). After Aben was a few years old, he could basically support himself and didn't need their care. Therefore, many communication issues that are worthy of study on Earth are useless here.

Liu Ben hasn't seen his family here for such a long time. Although he doesn't miss them particularly, since he is back, he might as well go and see them. Maybe he won't see them again when he goes back.

"Orcs like us don't usually live in large groups," Liu Ben told You Ying as they walked. "When we reach the age where we can live independently, we tend to live separately. We rarely go back to visit our families except for special occasions."

Especially the half-bull orcs, they can live independently when they are basically a few years old. They don’t need to study or work, and they can have enough food by farming.

You Ying: "That sounds a bit cold."

"Haha, most of our habits are similar to animals, but my mother is more emotional. She likes the whole family to visit each other often. But she... uh, she's not very thoughtful."

He's just stupid, You Ying thought, otherwise he wouldn't have divided up all of Liu Ben's land and realized it only too late.

The two continued walking in the woods for a long time, and then You Ying felt a little hungry.

Liu Ben was getting hungrier than him: "Let's go find something to eat?"

"good."

Being thrown here, the space is temporarily unusable, but in a forest like this, the thing that is most abundant is food.

The forest, which grows a variety of sweet fruits, nurtures many small animals, and the animals provide nutrients to the forest, allowing the forest to grow more diverse plants.

Liu Ben asked You Ying to pick fruits, while he went to catch some animals to eat.

There are many fruits here, and You Ying doesn't recognize any of them. Liu Ben is very experienced. After a little identification, he pointed out several non-toxic fruits. This is a good place. There is basically nothing inedible. You Ying can pick them all, but the taste is different.

Not long after, You Ying collected a large pile of fruits and returned with them in a simple leaf bowl made from the large leaves of an unknown plant.

After a while, Liu Ben also came back with three running beasts and two fish. You Ying couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. These animals were not species he recognized, and they looked a bit strange.

Two of the running beasts were of the same species, shaped like rabbits, but with sheep-like hooves, no ears, and sparse fur; the other one looked more like a pheasant, so let's just assume it was a chicken. Its feathers were a mixture of yellow and green. At first, You Ying thought Liu Ben had brought back a bunch of grass.

The fish also looks amazing. It is pink and translucent, and its tail is longer than its body. It is quite pretty.

You Ying couldn't help but say, "This fish... wouldn't it be a pity to eat it?"

Liu Ben looked down at the fish, then shrugged nonchalantly: "There are still plenty in the water. If you like, I'll catch a few for you before we go back."

"No," You Ying waved his hand. "If we take it back and let it run away, it will become an invasive species."

Liu Ben put the prey aside and was preparing branches for a fire. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I am also an invasive species."

"Well," You Ying nodded seriously, "so you can't have children."

As long as this species does not reproduce, it is not invasive.

The two of them were laughing as they picked up firewood and started a fire. Liu Ben cleaned the prey, pierced it with branches, and just as he was roasting it over the fire, he encountered a problem.

“There’s no seasoning!”

The oil is okay, as these animals are covered in their own animal fats, but it won’t work if it’s just cooked without any taste.

The two looked at the pile of fruits, wondering if there were any plants that could be used as seasoning.

Liu Ben said that these fruits are edible, which means they are edible, but we don’t know whether they taste good or not.

He first took a small, red, lantern-like fruit and took a bite, which caused juice to splatter. Oh, this fruit was quite juicy, but tasteless, and could only be considered a substitute for purified water.

Of course, You Ying still trusted Liu Ben's feelings. He also took a blue fruit, took a bite casually, then immediately frowned and spat it aside with a "Pah". It was surprisingly astringent.

It was so astringent that it made his tongue dry, so You Yinglian ate two red fruits to wash away the strange taste.

Fortunately, there were not many fruits with strange tastes. The two tried all kinds of fruits before the meat was cooked. The taste of most fruits was quite complex, and it could not be simply described as sweet or sour. It could only be said that most of them were delicious. Some of them had stronger flavors, so they were used as seasonings temporarily.

Liu Ben was confident that he had learned some simple cooking methods before. Although he still had to follow tutorials most of the time, he still remembered the general process.

"Yes, that's it. Just put the meat on the fire and add seasoning while it's cooking." Liu Ben said seriously while squeezing all the fruit juice onto the meat.

You Ying: ...

He always felt that they shouldn't all rush in at once.

Liu Ben and You Ying chatted while grilling the meat, occasionally eating one or two fruits and turning the meat over. Soon they felt that it was almost done.

You Ying looked at the three large pieces of barbecue with complicated eyes. The barbecue was already cooked, and the skin was dyed different colors by different fruits. It looked like it had been beaten, with green here and red there, and some places showing a faint purple.

Liu Ben took the chicken and tore off a large chicken leg. Where the chicken leg was separated from the body, strips of tender yellow meat were torn apart, and white gas spread out, allowing both of them to smell the rich aroma of meat.

Liu Ben carefully wrapped the chicken leg in leaves and handed it to You Ying: "Try it."

You Ying was afraid of heat, so he blew on the chicken leg after taking it. The skin of the chicken leg was roasted until it was charred. Although the color was a bit uneven, it was not burnt and there was no blood inside, which meant it was cooked just right. There was some gravy in the texture of the meat, which looked delicious.

You Ying took a careful bite.

Surprisingly, the finished product that Liu Ben roasted casually was quite good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but the taste was a little complicated and hard to describe. The meat was tender and smooth, and the skin on the outside was not tough at all, but crispy, and it was soaked in the overlapping flavor of juice. Combined with the sweet and fresh meat inside, it felt unique and had a special flavor.

"It's delicious!" While You Ying was eating, Liu Ben had already torn off a large rabbit leg. He was not as gentle as You Ying when eating. He took big bites and pulled half of the meat into his mouth in one go, like a wolf.

You Ying nodded silently. He didn't expect that the meat Liu Ben prepared in such a careless way could be so delicious.

After the meat, there was fish, but this fish tasted completely different from the fish they knew. The fish looked translucent, and Liu Ben thought it would become just like any other fish after roasting. However, when he put it in the fire, the fish started to leak water, as if it were made of water, and the fire was almost put out.

And the fish became smaller and smaller as he grilled it.

This won’t work. It will be gone if you bake it again.

Liu Ben had no choice but to take the fish down, cut it into pieces, and eat it raw.

Not to mention, although this fish meat cannot be roasted, it tastes almost like jelly when eaten raw with fruit pulp, and it also has a cool feeling, like white jelly.

It's perfect as an after-dinner dessert.

Although the meal was served on the ground, there were no beautiful tableware and no carefully prepared seasonings, but the food was still quite rustic and enjoyable.

After they had their fill and put out the fire, they prepared to take a rest before setting off again.

Liu Ben and You Ying sat face to face on a large leaf, laughing and talking about some interesting things they had experienced while farming and collecting seeds here. Suddenly, they noticed a pair of small black eyes behind the tree behind You Ying, staring at them curiously with their heads tilted.

Liu Ben:!!
