Chapter 17 Talent Showcase

After carrying the old wolf back to the shelter, Ye Zi sat on a wooden stump, flipped her hand, and a small knife appeared in her hand.

Peeling skin is a piece of cake; it was his first time doing this, but the original owner was very skilled at it, it was all instinct.

In less than ten minutes, a wolf skin was spread out on the ground, and on the wolf skin was a complete skeleton with flesh.

The old wolf was very thin; apart from his four legs, which had some flesh, the rest of him was too heavy to even cook with firewood.

Four wolf legs were cut off, and the rest were thrown away by the leaves.

They made a fire, and the four wolf legs were placed on the fire to roast. The next step was to process the wolf pelts.

Draw out the machete, scrape off the grease from the wolf skin, cut off the pelts from the legs and tail, scrape off the fur, and then cut them into strips slightly thinner than chopsticks with a knife.

The leaves need rope to make the shelter door, and there's no time to wait for the leather to be tanned, so they have to use the leather they already have.

The cut strips, three at a time, are woven together into one, the length just right for binding and reinforcement.

Once the leather rope dries, it will shrink to some extent, allowing you to tie the branches more tightly.

The leather ropes made from the four wolf legs and tails were not enough, so the wooden door was only tied at one end. The leather rope needed for the other end could only be cut from the wolf skin on the torso.

While making the wooden door, Ye Zi didn't forget the four wolf legs roasting over the fire, turning them over every now and then.

After the wooden door was finished, Ye Zi grabbed it and moved it up and down. It was pretty good. Although it was a little loose, as long as the leather rope dried, it would naturally shrink and the wooden door would be tied tight, and the looseness would be much better.

After installing the wooden door, I tested it by opening and closing it a few times, and it fit perfectly.

He returned to the fire, turning the wolf's leg over while grinning foolishly.

After six days, we can finally have a proper meal. Although there are no seasonings, we already have barbecue. What more could we ask for?

On the first day after arriving at the survival area, all I did was find a suitable place to build a shelter.

It took Ye Zi four and a half days to build a sturdy shelter of about 20 square meters. She should have enough time to build another one before her first teammate arrives.

During the ten-day window before her second teammate arrived, Ye Zi closed the door and built a third shelter.

Although wilderness survival involves a three-person team, the three people are both men and women, and they are all independent individuals, so they must have the necessary private space.

So from the beginning, Yezi's plan was for each person to have their own room, rather than for the three of them to squeeze together.

The wolf leg was almost cooked. Ye Zi picked one up, blew on it to cool it down, and then took a bite.

The chat in the live stream never stopped. Some people said that Ye Zi was indeed ruthless, and she dealt with a wolf in about ten minutes.

Some people say the leather rope is well-made and looks sturdy.

Some people were staring longingly at the four wolf legs roasting over the fire; although there was no seasoning, they looked delicious.

In the live stream, Zhuang Yan, the King of Soldiers, praised Ye Zi without reservation. Although he didn't know how Ye Zi knew to go in this direction, he could still offer an explanation.

Having a history of naturally good hearing and naturally strong strength, having the additional ability of naturally good hearing is not unacceptable.

I'm just a little envious.

Zhuang Yan felt that Ye Zi's fearless charge at the wolves was an essential condition for survival in the wild.

Huang Jingyu, who had just finished a round of archery practice, sent a message to his teammates:

"Ye Zi is strong and capable, and her cooking skills are good. Her grilling skills look pretty good too, so she should be no worse than me."

I was responsible for drawing aggro and whittling down the prey, while he was responsible for tanking and finishing off the enemy.

Meat for survival and fur for warmth are no longer a problem; things are stable.

I received a reply shortly after sending the message.

"Then what am I responsible for?" Tong Erya asked in a message.

“Beautiful,” the yellow whale replied crisply.

"The legendary 'winning without effort'?"

"right."

Tong Erya smiled as she read her teammate's reply. How could she be just a pretty face?

Ye Zi ate the meat heartily, but the wolf meat really wasn't very tasty, and it wasn't seasoned.

After eating two wolf legs, he couldn't help but complain:

"At least add some cumin, or even just a little salt."

These two sentences were overheard by viewers in the live stream, and someone immediately commented:

"Is this guy even speaking human language? Some contestants went hungry for fifteen meals in six days, and he's already eating meat, yet he complains that it doesn't taste good without seasoning?"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. He went hungry for fifteen meals in six days. Apart from the berries on the first day, this is his first meal."

"But this is meat; one meal will sustain you for two days."

"..."

After finishing the two wolf legs, Ye Zi let out a satisfied burp and scooped a bowl of water from the pot using the half-finished large bowl.

He sipped his drink while looking around his shelter. Everything was perfect except for the lack of furniture.

Looking at the wolf pelt at my feet, although it was sprinkled with a layer of wood ash, it still needed to be washed and dried before it could be used as a mattress.

After drinking the water, he casually put down the large bowl, used a machete to scrape off the wood ash from the wolf skin, and then went to the water tank to wash the wolf skin.

Feeling that I had washed it enough, I got up, grabbed the wolf skin with both hands, and shook it a few times to remove most of the water.

However, there was still a layer of grease, and a layer of wood ash was sprinkled on it before it was taken into the shelter and placed on the fireplace to dry.

I'm not planning to work today; I'll take a break.

Although it's called a rest day, there are still many inconspicuous tasks to be done.

First, there's the wolf fang, a valuable item that can be used to make arrowheads. The original owner didn't bring a bow and arrows because he could make them himself and didn't need them.

Ironware was the scarcest commodity, which is why picks and axes existed.

Clean wolf leg bones are also valuable; after being broken up, they can be used to make arrowheads and even bone needles.

With constant movement of his hands, he produced bone tools one by one, which were then neatly arranged to one side.

Some viewers in the live stream guessed that Sparrow Sister could tell at a glance what Ye Zi wanted.

The arrow wasn't very obvious, but she recognized the bone needle.

"This is a bone needle, right? With Ye Zi's skills, once she has a bone needle, she can sew a rabbit coat to keep warm even if she only catches a few wild rabbits."

Now we'll see if he can catch the rabbit.

But I think it's easier for him to hunt wolves.

Not to be outdone, the elite soldier Zhuang Yan looked at the row of wolf teeth and leg bone fragments laid out beside Ye Zi and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, he's holding an arrowhead. It looks like he's preparing to make a bow and arrow."

No wonder he grew up on the grasslands; he even knows traditional crafts like bows and arrows.

"With axes, machetes, bows and arrows, plus innate superhuman strength and the courage to fight wild wolves, can we assume that the contestant in live stream room number three has become a strong contender for the championship?" Bingbing immediately asked.

"That's right. According to the latest news online, the second contestant in the third live broadcast room has been frequently visiting the archery range recently, so he must have a certain level of skill in archery."

With their ability to select and advance to the next round, plus their strong shelter, I think they will be strong contenders for the championship.
