She used a branch to turn the scorpions over from time to time. After about ten minutes, the black shells of the scorpions were roasted red and gave off a meaty aroma.
The roasted red scorpion looks very appetizing.
Hopefully, their taste won't disappoint her.
After another ten minutes or so, she estimated that the scorpions should be cooked, so she pulled one out and pried open the outer shell with a dagger. Instantly, a rich meaty aroma emanated.
The meat inside is white and shrinks a lot after being baked. The texture looks very similar to lobster meat. When you poke it with your hand, it is hot and chewy.
It looks delicious, but I don't know if it's poisonous.
Xue Huan took out a white bead. The bead was milky white, the size of a lotus seed, and looked like a pearl, but it was not a pearl. It was a poison-testing bead.
Place the beads on the scorpion meat. If the meat is poisonous, the beads will change color according to the toxicity. If it is a deadly poison, the beads will turn black. The lighter the toxicity, the lighter the black.
If it's a drug, the beads will turn blue. If it's an aphrodisiac, they'll turn pink. If it's a miasma, they'll turn purple...
In short, this bead is a good auxiliary tool in the wild.
Xue Huan stared at the bead. One second, two seconds... five seconds passed, and the bead was still translucent milky white, without any change in color, indicating that the scorpion meat was non-toxic and could be eaten with confidence.
The meat is tender and firm, juicy when you bite it, and has a slightly salty taste. Even without any seasoning, it is very delicious!
This scorpion meat is amazing!
Looking at the scorpions piled up like a small hill not far away, Xue Huan felt like she had found a treasure.
After eating the scorpion meat, Xue Huan quickly processed the stunned scorpions before they woke up, peeled them, washed them, pickled them, and stored them in cans.
With all this meat, her diet is finally less monotonous.
She did not waste the scorpion shells. She crushed them all into powder and put them into a jar. Scorpion is a traditional Chinese medicine with detoxification, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Although she hollowed out the scorpion meat, the scorpion shell should have similar therapeutic effects, right?
Collect them first and do some experiments when you have time.
Xue Huan put out the fire without leaving a trace of sparks, then sprinkled insect repellent powder on her body again and on her Tianluo umbrella. When she walked into the black scorpion forest, she kept turning the umbrella handle so that the powder was evenly spread around.
In this way, no scorpion dared to approach her.
After walking through the woods, the stream appeared before our eyes.
When viewed from the air, the stream looks like a white line winding through the valley, and it is the only bright spot here.
Looking closely, the stream was much wider than she had imagined, about five or six meters wide, so it should be called a stream.
But the river water is very shallow and extremely clear, as clear as a mirror. It seems as if the river water does not exist, and there are no fish or shrimp in it.
She used to think that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. But now she knows that such waters really exist.
Such clear water should be sweet, right?
When Xue Huan saw it, she wanted to roll up her trouser legs, step on it, and scoop up some water to taste it.
But she didn't do that in the end. After all, she still had to hurry and find a way out.
Following the flow of the river, Xue Huan walked forward, but finally came to a cliff. There was a palm-sized crack in front of the cliff, and the river flowed quietly into it.
There was no way she could sneak into such a small gap and take the waterway, and who knew where the water would flow.
Xue Huan had no choice but to turn around and walk back upstream. However, the further she went up, the narrower the river became. When she reached the source, she discovered that the river was flowing out from the gaps in the cliffs. Several thumb-sized streams of water converged together like small waterfalls, and finally formed a river.
There is no way out on either end, it's hopeless.
However, the river only runs across the middle of the valley. On the other side of the river, there is another half of the valley. Maybe there is a way out on the other side?
The valley was quite large, and after she had walked back and forth twice, it was already afternoon.
If you can't leave the valley before nightfall, you will have to spend the night in the valley.
Xue Huan felt uneasy at the thought of spending the night in the valley.
She was about to step over when a transparent snake suddenly jumped out of the palm-wide river! The snake seemed to be made of water, and even the fangs that bit towards her were water-colored.
She quickly stepped back to avoid the attack of the "clear water snake".
The clear water snake missed the attack and fell back into the water, completely blending into the water and becoming unrecognizable.
Even though she opened her eyes wide and stared carefully, she still couldn't see where the snake was hiding.
No wonder she didn't notice it at all just now.
This snake was born for water and can hide perfectly in water.
If there were only one or two snakes, it would be fine. But if there were as many as those black scorpions... her scalp tingled just thinking about it.
She had wanted to run into the water and drink some, but fortunately she didn't go, otherwise she would have been attacked by these snakes.
I don't know what would happen if bitten by this kind of snake.
Wait, she seemed to have heard of this kind of snake somewhere. Yes, in the wild flora and fauna science course that Sanbaqian took in the Soul Realm, he told her that there was a kind of snake that was as transparent as water. It could only live in the purest water and could not tolerate any pollution. Once it left the water, it would die quickly.
Few people know about this kind of snake, and Can Baqian happens to be one of them. He named this snake "water poisonous snake". Don't think that this kind of snake is non-venomous just because it is as clear and transparent as water glass and lives in the clearest water. In fact, you are totally wrong.
This kind of snake is not only poisonous, but also extremely poisonous. Once bitten, the whole person will quickly turn into a pool of water. Isn't it scary?
Thinking of this, Xue Huan was still frightened and she almost turned into a puddle of water.
However, all things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and the venom of water snakes is not without a cure. As long as you catch the snake, take its gall and swallow it, you can detoxify it.
Moreover, the whole body of the water snake is a treasure. Not to mention the snake gall, which is a holy medicine for detoxification. It can not only detoxify its own poison, but also many other poisons.
Snake venom is a natural corpse-dissolving water; snake fangs can also be used to resist poison and can be refined into weapons with excellent concealment; snake skin can be refined into invisible robes...Snake meat is a nourishing holy product and is extremely delicious.
For Xue Huan, the last point is the most attractive to her.
Since it is such a delicacy, how could she miss it?
Such treasures are hard to come by, so Xue Huan was not in a hurry to leave the valley.
At first, she thought she was unlucky to have landed in this valley, but now she no longer thought so. With delicious scorpions and rare water snakes, how could she be considered unlucky? She was clearly lucky!
As for how to catch water snakes?
This requires taking advantage of its characteristics.
