After this expert finished speaking, the atmosphere in the live stream changed drastically, and everyone started contributing their treasured torrents!
Chen Fan and Liu Feifei continued on their way.
As they walked, the two discovered numerous signs of animal activity in the jungle.
This shows that there are still plenty of prey in this area, and as long as you are capable enough, survival is definitely not a problem.
The two then arrived at the stream.
"Chen Fan, look! There are lots of little fish in the water!"
Soon, Liu Feifei also made an amazing discovery.
There are many stream fish in the stream; although they are not very big, there seem to be a lot of them.
"Yes, I saw it."
"I'll weave a fish trap! We should be able to have grilled fish tonight."
Chen Fan naturally noticed the situation in the water as well.
Although the fish inside are small, there are many of them. Even a mosquito's leg is meat, and the quantity is plentiful and filling.
As long as there are enough of them, getting enough to eat is not a problem.
Moreover, stream fish have little to no fishy smell and taste even better!
"Okay, then I'll block both sides with stones, that way we'll have a better chance of catching fish."
After Liu Feifei finished speaking, she went to work.
I saw some survivors doing this in videos before.
By sealing off both sides, the fish that swim down can only enter the fishing cage!
“Okay…” Chen Fan nodded and went to find the materials.
If bamboo is available, it would naturally be the best material.
However, no bamboo forest has been found so far, so we can only use some thin vines and branches to complete the task!
Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was past three in the afternoon.
Chen Fan's fishing cage was also completed.
With the weaving skill rewarded by the system, the speed of weaving fish traps became significantly faster, and they also looked more aesthetically pleasing.
The two quickly set up the fishing trap.
"Chen Fan, should we wait now?"
Liu Feifei asked.
Although there are many fish in the stream, it will probably take quite a long time to have a full meal.
"No need, let's go up and take another look. Maybe we'll find something else."
Chen Fan naturally didn't want to waste time sitting here.
Anyway, the fish trap won't catch more fish just because they're watching it.
Instead of wasting time exploring the surrounding area, we might as well go out and explore some more; we might make some new discoveries.
"Uh-huh!"
The two then continued walking upstream along the river.
Anyway, if you walk this way, you won't get lost no matter how far you go.
As long as you follow the stream, you will definitely be able to get back to camp.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, several large broad-leaved plants caught their attention.
These broad-leaved plants are growing very vigorously, with rootstocks taller than Chen Fan and leaves the size of umbrellas.
Upon seeing the plant in front of her, Liu Feifei instantly became excited.
"Chen Fan, are these plants taro?"
"I saw it in a video before; it seems that the root of this taro is edible."
When the topic of food came up, Liu Feifei subconsciously pursed her lips.
Just thinking about eating fragrant and delicious taro makes my mouth water uncontrollably.
Although I've seen this plant in videos, it doesn't seem to be this big, and the feeling of awe is completely different from seeing it in person.
"Yes, this is wild taro! It's a relative of the taro we usually eat."
Chen Fan nodded.
Although this thing is also called taro and belongs to the same Araceae family, Chen Fan had absolutely no interest in it.
"It's so big, the taro underneath must be huge too. Let's dig some out quickly."
"We're having roasted taro tonight..." Liu Feifei was getting more and more excited.
With such lush stems and leaves, the taro roots underneath must be quite large as well.
"Let's not get our hands on this stuff, because many wild taro plants contain potent toxins, and improper handling can easily lead to poisoning!"
Chen Fan shook his head directly.
Although he was certain it was a wild taro, not a water-dripping Guanyin.
But he still dared not eat it...
Wild taro is usually poisonous, and even if the poison is mild, it can easily numb the mouth and tongue after eating it.
If you eat too much, the poisoning may be more severe.
He would never take such a risk unless absolutely necessary.
"Ah!!" Liu Feifei's face instantly showed a look of surprise.
He instinctively took a few steps back, then continued, "But I saw in the video that some survivors ate this stuff."
She still has a pretty deep impression of that video.
I didn't see that person get poisoned!
Some things are edible, but some are not.
"People's resistance and physical condition are different, so for safety's sake, we shouldn't even think about this thing anymore!"
Chen Fan still prefers to play it safe.
It would be a huge waste to get poisoned from eating a taro.
After all, they are not hungry right now, and food resources are not that scarce.
We might consider taking risks if it becomes a last resort, but we're clearly not in that situation yet.
"Okay!"
Seeing Chen Fan's determined expression, Liu Feifei quickly nodded as well.
Chen Fan certainly knew far more about this than she did.
Therefore, listening to Chen Fan is definitely the right thing to do...
Besides, they aren't really that hungry right now, so there's no need to take any risks!
"Alright, let's go to the place where the golden pheasant used to be and set up some rope traps."
"I hope today will be fruitful."
Chen Fan decided not to go any further, but instead went back to set up several rope traps.
Last night, the system rewarded me with some simple rope traps among the weaving skills!
There are two types: foot snares and neck snares. The foot snares are specifically designed to catch this kind of sharp-beaked animal.
Neck snares are generally used to catch rodents with strong bites, such as hares and mountain rats.
"Okay!"
"If we can catch a pheasant today, I'll make you beggar's chicken tonight."
Liu Feifei said with a smug look on her face.
Although it's a bit of a shame I didn't get to eat the taro, if I could eat a big penis, it would definitely be more delicious than taro!
The two soon arrived at the area where the golden pheasants were active.
Chen Fan grew some bark with a lot of fiber, and then began to weave rope.
Time passed quietly, and soon it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this point, Chen Fan had already set up six rope traps...
After receiving the weaving skill as a reward from the amusement system, the speed of weaving ropes and creating unknown traps increased significantly.
"Alright! The trap is now set."
"Hopefully tomorrow morning will bring good results..."
"Let's go check if the fishing trap has yielded anything!"
Brushing the dust off his hands, Chen Fan prepared to inspect the fishing cage.
The fishing trap has been set for two hours. Given the resources there, there should be a catch.
I wonder how many small fish I'll be able to catch!
A dozen minutes later, the two returned to the spot where they had placed the fishing cage.
"May the Bodhisattva bless us, and may we catch lots and lots of fish!" Liu Feifei prayed earnestly from the side.
His serious expression made Chen Fan want to laugh.
If prayer were effective, there would be no poor people in the world.
Picking up the fishing cage, you can feel how heavy it is inside.
"The harvest seems to be quite good..."
Then the tail of the fishing cage was opened, and more than a dozen fish were poured out.
Four of the fish were quite large, and they looked to weigh about three ounces each!
The other eleven or twelve were small fish, about the size of a thumb.
The smaller ones are only about the size of a little finger.
Even the gaps between my teeth look a bit small...
In addition, there were three crabs of medium size.
Wow!! So many fish!!
Upon seeing more than a dozen fish and several crabs, Liu Feifei was overjoyed.
He thought to himself: It seems my prayers just now worked.
"The harvest was pretty good; this stream has quite a lot of resources."
"Let's release these fish that are too small!"
Chen Fan was very satisfied with these results.
Chen Fan tossed several fish, smaller than his little finger, back into the stream.
After all, he understood the principle that "draining the pond to catch all the fish will leave you with nothing to catch tomorrow."
So let these small fish grow a little bigger!
"Mmm, that's great! We can have grilled fish again tonight!" Liu Feifei waved her hands excitedly, showing that she seemed easily satisfied.
"Let's go! Home..."
After putting the other fish back into the fish trap, the two walked back along the stream.
