"Is that a crab? How come there's a crab here?" Zhang Yixing followed Li Yinsheng's finger and saw the purplish-brown crab. He asked curiously.

"Besides, these crabs are too small, they don't have much meat. It's better to go beachcombing to catch big crabs. It's not worth wasting time setting traps to catch such small crabs," Zhao Liying said, shaking her head.

"It seems that neither of you recognizes this type of crab."

This crab is called Lingzhi crab, also known as medicinal crab. It is not an ordinary seafood and belongs to a relatively rare category.

They are called medicinal crabs because they are omnivorous and eat medicinal herbs from the mountains. Because they often eat herbs, they have low water requirements and can survive on land for a long time without dying. Therefore, they generally live in forests, on steep slopes, or in caves.

Not only is Lingzhi crab exceptionally delicious, with its tender and flavorful meat, it also boasts nourishing and health-promoting properties.

"The taste is incomparable to that of sea crabs," Li Yinsheng explained.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yixing's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested: "I see, Lingzhi crab, that sounds extraordinary. We've really struck gold today! Such delicious food combined with its nourishing effects is an unexpected delight!"

As he spoke, he squatted down and carefully used a twig to pick up the small crab, examining it closely.

Zhao Liying also squatted down and carefully examined the peculiar crab, and said with a smile: "It seems that our previous ideas were too one-sided. We thought that we could only find delicious food and surprises in the sea. I didn't expect that such a treasure was hidden in the mountains and forests. I have never eaten Lingzhi crab before!"

"We've already found something delicious before we even got up the hill. I have a feeling there's something else good waiting for us to explore on the other side of the hill or up the hillside." Li Yinsheng was also looking forward to it.

"Fatty, what kind of trap should we make to catch these Ganoderma crabs?" Zhao Liying asked with concern.

"This is simple. Dig a pit next to the cave where there are the most Ganoderma crabs, and put a rebound plate device on the pit. Put some vegetables or grass that Ganoderma crabs like to eat on the rebound plate device and around it."

Once the Ganoderma lucidum crab steps on the rebound plate device, the device will flip, and the crab will fall in and be unable to get out. "The trap that Li Yinsheng is making is based on the model of the roly-poly toy."

Li Yinsheng explained it clearly and logically, and Zhang Yixing and Zhao Liying understood it and immediately started working on it.

Fortunately, they brought hoes, axes, and a Swiss Army knife with them this time, while Li Xiang and his group brought bows and arrows and a Swiss Army knife.

The two got right to work, and Zhang Yixing began carefully selecting a location. He pointed to a burrow in the distance where Ganoderma crabs frequently went in and out and said, "Let's go here. It looks like they often come and go from here."

Zhang Yixing skillfully began digging the pit. His movements were swift and quick, and in no time, a trap about half a meter deep and one meter in diameter was completed.

Li Yinsheng made a bounce plate and placed it above the trap, along with some grass that the Ganoderma crabs love to eat. This bounce plate was hastily woven from branches and vines; though not elaborate, it was sufficient to complete the task.

"Alright, now we just have to wait for the Lingzhi crab to take the bait." Li Yinsheng wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

Zhao Liying rubbed her hands excitedly to the side, as if she could already see a pit full of Lingzhi crabs. "I've never eaten Lingzhi crab before. Once we catch some, I'm going to savor it!"

........

On the other side, Li Xiang led Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei and the other two back to the place where they had found the pheasants earlier. As expected, the snares they set did not catch any pheasants. Afterwards, they continued to explore in this direction, and when they passed through a dense forest, they found that...

"Why are there so many bees around here?" Liu Yifei asked, waving the bees that flew in front of her.

“There are quite a few bees.” Huang Xiaoming nodded.

"There might be bees building a nest nearby. We must be close to a beehive. Let's search carefully to see if there are any beehives around," Li Xiang said immediately.

"A beehive? Is there honey inside?" Liu Yifei asked, her eyes lighting up slightly.

“That’s right. If we can find a beehive, that would be a real surprise. Honey can not only be eaten directly, but it can also be used to make all kinds of delicious food and drinks. We happen to have mung beans. If we cook them into mung bean porridge and add some honey, the taste will definitely be a refreshing touch in the summer.” Li Xiang nodded affirmatively.

"Let's look for it quickly!" Liu Yifei became even more enthusiastic. She carefully moved through the woods, trying to avoid the flying bees, afraid of accidentally disturbing them.

"Spread out and search carefully. Although bees don't usually attack people, if we get too close to their nest or do anything that threatens them, we might still be attacked," Li Xiang instructed Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei.

The three slowed their pace, searching more carefully for any possible hiding place for the beehive. Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows and adding to the mystique of the jungle.

Soon, Li Xiang suddenly stopped and pointed to a tall tree not far away, saying, "I found it, it's here."

A giant tree, so large that it takes several people to encircle its thick trunk, stands silently on this land, its branches and leaves so lush that they block out the sky.

It has lush foliage, and the forked branches are much thicker than an adult's waist. Many of the thick branches have fan-shaped leaves hanging down.

The fan-shaped areas are densely packed with bees; these fan-shaped areas are the honeycomb built by the bees.

"Are these the honeycombs that bees build? They're different from the honeycombs I've seen before." Liu Yifei was quite surprised by the sight before her.

"That's right, this is a beehive. Bees build hives of different shapes and locations depending on different environments and needs."

Some bees build their hives in tree cavities or burrows, or even on cliffs. Common hive shapes include hexagonal and round hives.

This fan-shaped structure, likely influenced by the characteristics of the trees and the climate, led bees to choose it. This structure effectively utilizes space while providing protection from wind and rain, making it an ideal home for bees.

"We don't have protective suits now, what should we do?" Looking at the giant tree with more than a dozen fan-shaped beehives of varying sizes, Huang Xiaoming was somewhat unwilling to leave. However, they did not have protective suits, and going forward to collect honey would undoubtedly put them in great risk.

If stung, the venom from the bee's stinger can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions, resulting in symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and pain. In severe cases, people may experience difficulty breathing or even shock.
