Qi Xiaoyan gave a coquettish laugh, covered her face, and ran to the stern of the boat...

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became less subdued...

Ye Feng put the sanitary napkin into the water and shook it continuously... The surface of the water immediately turned a deep crimson...

Although this will attract many predators, it's unavoidable in order to get a meal...

Less than a minute later, a movement came from underwater... some kind of fish touched the raft...

Ye Feng immediately picked up the fork and intently observed the surface of the water…

"Whoosh!"

With a splash, a piece of the floating jerky was instantly gone…

Immediately following was a series of splashing sounds. Ye Feng smiled slightly; clearly, this was definitely a swarm of piranhas...

He could even see these guys fighting over each other…

He immediately thrust the harpoon forward with all his might, and the harpoon instantly sent a jolt through him. He knew he had hit it…

Ye Feng withdrew the harpoon, and sure enough, a huge piranha, about 30 centimeters long with golden and black skin, was stuck in it…

Ye Feng estimated that this fish weighed at least 6 jin (3 catties)...

The harpoon pierced its abdomen, but its body even crushed the spikes on the harpoon...

Ye Feng quickly took it off and threw it onto the raft…

Then he started wildly spearing the water again... about several tens of seconds later...

He then speared up another piranha of roughly the same size…

"Whoa!"

Fu Changxiong lifted the tail of one of the fish, his expression one of utter shock…

Looking at the fish's pockmarked head and its sharp teeth, twice the size of a red-bellied piranha, everyone was very curious...

"Brother, is this...is this a piranha? How come it's so big?! It feels like it weighs more than a crucian carp."

Ye Feng didn't answer immediately, but instead picked up the oar and quickly rowed away from the spot...

"This is a type of piranha called the red piranha. It has a black back and a golden belly, is huge, and is extremely bloodthirsty..."

It is the largest and most ferocious of the piranhas.

I've heard that its maximum length is 60 centimeters; it's not impossible for it to devour a person single-handedly in the water.

"Hey...we're in for a treat now..."

Ye Feng urged:

"Let's hurry up and do the dissection. It's almost nighttime, and if we attract bull sharks and caimans, we'll be in big trouble..."

After hearing this, everyone got to work...

Half an hour later…

The stove had already been set up, and everyone had prepared the foam and wood chips to start the fire.

These wood chips were scraped off the wood blocks and brought with them when they escaped from the hillside.

Due to the urgency of the situation, I only brought a dozen or so...

It's always been in my backpack, never gotten wet, and is very dry...

Ye Feng took out a battery and, using the same old method, slashed the electrode tip with a knife…

The blade tip, positioned horizontally between the positive and negative terminals, caused a short circuit. This is because the lithium metal inside the battery, when exposed to oxygen, produces a spark…

"Sizzle..."

Sparks began to shoot out in all directions, and Ye Feng quickly caught them with foam and wood chips.

Soon, wisps of smoke began to rise from the pile of ignition materials…

I don't know if it's because of the dampness, but the flame didn't ignite immediately like it did the first time...

Left with no other option, Ye Feng had to resort to Old Man De's signature move... Fire Worship...

He carefully picked up the fuel pile, held it up to his eyes, and gently blew on it…

This trick actually worked...

Soon, flames began to rise...

"Whoosh~"

Ye Feng let out the same scream as Ed Stafford, and quickly placed it on the stove, adding wood chips little by little...

Once the fire has grown a bit bigger, start adding wood blocks, and finally firewood…

For the first two nights, there was no fire, and everyone was listless.

When they saw the familiar flames again, faint smiles appeared on everyone's faces at the same time.

It was obvious that their mood had improved a lot, and their morale had also improved significantly.

At this moment, everyone remained silent, all with smiles on their faces, quietly watching the fire…

This might sound exaggerated, but for survivors in the wild…

Flame truly represents a sense of security and hope for the future…

After a moment, Ye Feng asked:

"Sisi, how much water did you collect?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi brought in a frying pan from the stern of the boat; it was already filled to the brim…

"Brother Feng, I've filled the water bottle too..."

"here you go."

Ye Feng poured out some of the rainwater, leaving only two-thirds, and then placed it directly on the fire…

After the water boiled, he took out the jar of lard, scooped out a piece, and put it into the pot…

Then he threw in all the chopped monkey meat, pork bones, piranha meat, crocodile jerky, pork jerky, and pork cracklings...

Finally, he grabbed a handful of fine gray salt from the wooden jar and sprinkled it in…

Next, all you need to do is wait for it to be ready...

However, they were not idle during this time; they dried all the firewood they had salvaged around the fire for later use.

And so, the group chatted and warmed themselves by the fire...

Everyone reminisced about the past, discussed the future, and even sang songs together. They also talked about how to spend their prize money...

The gloom of escaping death seemed to vanish completely at this moment...

At this moment, everyone felt as if they had returned to that treehouse, which was neither too big nor too small...

Seeing this atmosphere, Ye Feng kept smiling and agreeing with them, even though he knew it was too early to talk about these things.

But he didn't want to spoil everyone's enjoyment; finding joy in hardship was a good way to improve one's mindset...

An hour of chatting passed by, as the aroma from the pot filled the air…

"Wow!……"

Everyone gasped in amazement, sniffed the air, and swallowed hard…

It smells so good, so delicious...

They hadn't smelled this fragrance in a long time since they moved out of the treehouse...

Liu Sisi quickly picked up two bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Ye Feng, indicating that he should take the first bite...

Every time they ate this kind of communal meal, they would let Ye Feng start eating first…

Despite Ye Feng's repeated insistence that this was unnecessary, in everyone's hearts...

They not only owed Ye Feng a debt of gratitude for saving their lives, but also, after spending many days together and experiencing this disaster…

Ye Feng's abilities and character earned their complete respect...

Therefore, there still needs to be a distinction between primary and secondary roles, and only he is qualified to take the first bite...

Helpless, Ye Feng had no choice but to pick up a piece of monkey meat and put it in his mouth...

After chewing a couple of times, he frowned slightly…

To be honest, the meat was a bit sour and astringent. Although it was very chewy, it would be too abstract to call it a delicacy...

If it weren't for the salt, he would have vomited...

"It seems these local inhabitants haven't had much good food lately..."

He thought to himself...

Then he waved his chopsticks again…

"Don't just stand there, let's eat..."

Upon hearing this, everyone sprang into action…

A light rain was falling outside, and on a simple wooden raft on this wide river…

Five young people, huddled together for warmth, are enjoying a hearty meal of wild game...
