After acquiring a python, Chen Fan was in a very good mood.
This python can provide them with not only abundant protein, but also the fat they desperately need.
Previously, half of the animal oil extracted from wild boars was used to make lard soap, but with this python, the amount of fat is now more plentiful.
"Chen Fan, I thought we wouldn't have any gains today, but I didn't expect to have such a rich harvest."
"I wonder if the monkey inside this python has been digested yet? If not, let's take it out."
"If it were eating cats and snakes, I might be able to barely accept it, but eating monkeys that are almost rotten is something I simply cannot accept."
Seeing Chen Fan carry the python over, Liu Feifei spoke up.
Because monkeys and humans look so alike, I find it hard to bring myself to eat them!
Even inside the python's belly, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Okay! That's what I think too."
"Then I'll take the monkey out first."
Chen Fan agreed wholeheartedly and nodded.
This monkey would never do something like that unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, if there is a monkey inside the python's stomach, it might cause psychological trauma when eating it, so it's best to remove it!
Chen Fan cut the python open with a single stroke, targeting the bulging part of its body.
The monkey simply slid out of its belly.
His whole body was soaking wet and covered in a layer of transparent mucus. Although it hadn't been corroded by the stomach acid yet, it was already quite unsightly.
And he completely lost vital signs...
Seeing the image of the monkey, Liu Feifei almost vomited.
"By the way, Chen Fan! We've had a great day too. Are you going back now or continuing our exploration?"
Liu Feifei continued to speak.
This python has a lot of meat; it's estimated to be enough to feed them for at least a week.
Moreover, when they cut open the abdomen, they could see a thick layer of fat, which was very useful to them.
"Let's go back first! This snake meat might spoil if it's not processed in time."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan said.
In such a scorching environment, some meat may spoil in just five or six hours.
So now we need to get back to the shelter as soon as possible and then properly process the meat.
"Okay, let's go back then..."
Liu Feifei smiled and nodded, then quickly gathered survival tools.
The two walked towards the shelter!
They did not return via the same route.
Instead, they followed the general direction and took a shorter shortcut.
Because if they return along the same route, they might not find any other resources along the way.
If we take a different approach, there's a much greater chance of finding other resources!
The two walked for more than an hour, covering about half the distance.
"Chen Fan, look! There seems to be a lot of fruit over there."
"I wonder if the fruit on those trees is edible?"
Liu Feifei suddenly pointed ahead and said excitedly.
After such a long journey, they had almost run out of their spare water.
I really want to replenish the water and sugar in my body right now!
"Let's go take a look..."
Chen Fan nodded, and then the two of them quickly stepped forward.
The fruit on the tree was bright red, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of it.
However, most of them looked like they had been gnawed on, which could be the work of the previous group of monkeys!
It looks a bit like a Red Delicious apple.
"It looks like a wax apple. I didn't expect there to be this kind of fruit on this island."
"We've really struck it rich this time, Chen Fan!"
Looking at the fruit in front of her, Liu Feifei recognized it at a glance.
Although she wasn't very clear about where this fruit came from, she had eaten it often before, so she recognized it completely.
"Yes! With such a big tree, we've really struck it rich."
"The wax apples on this tree should last us for a month."
"It's a pity we can't plant them directly near our shelter, otherwise it would be perfect."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded; such a discovery was naturally very good news for them.
With this fruit tree, they will be able to eat a wider variety of fruits in the future.
"Let's hurry up and fight for some back..."
"I really love wax apples, my mouth is already watering just looking at them!"
Liu Feifei also couldn't wait to say it.
The main reason is that I'm a little thirsty and also a little hungry.
Eating two wax apples can not only quench your thirst but also increase your feeling of fullness.
"Okay, move aside a little for now."
Chen Fan put the things down and then asked Liu Feifei to move aside a bit.
Then he stomped heavily on the tree trunk...
Splash!
As the leaves swayed wildly, wax apples fell to the ground like raindrops.
These fruits, which fall off a single bunch easily, are usually quite ripe.
If the fruit is unripe, it wouldn't fall off with that kind of shaking force.
"That's enough! There's too much, we can't take it all."
"I'll pick it up..."
Liu Feifei quickly ran over and started picking them up.
There are definitely too many wax apples to fit in one basket.
Chen Fan looked around and found some rattan, then quickly wove another basket!
A dozen minutes later, most of the edible wax apples on the ground had been collected.
There were two full baskets...
Just these things alone, the two of them could definitely manage for a week without any problem.
After all, they can't possibly eat fruit as their staple food.
"Wow!! I was just lamenting that I hadn't accomplished much today, but I didn't expect to have such a great harvest."
"Not only did we harvest snake meat, but we also found fruit."
"More importantly, we can come and pick them whenever we want to eat wax apples in the future!"
Compared to her previous frustration, Liu Feifei was now unusually excited.
Every achievement filled her with immense joy.
"Yes, that's right!"
"Today's harvest was indeed very fruitful..."
"Now that we have food and fruit, let's hurry back."
"Speaking of which, I'm feeling a bit hungry. I'll cook something to eat as soon as I get back."
Chen Fan carried the basket on his back, while the smaller one was handed to Liu Feifei.
Although Liu Feifei's physique is vastly different from Chen Fan's, this weight shouldn't be a problem.
If it takes too long, it might be a bit too much to handle.
"Alright!!"
"You did a fantastic job today. I'll steam you big steamed buns when we get back," Liu Feifei said with a grin.
