Soon, he dragged the four antelope bodies back to the river bank.

Before officially starting the process, Chen Ming first went back to the spacecraft and pushed the small cart he had taken from the space station here to facilitate subsequent transportation.

Four purple antelopes are quite heavy.

A purple gazelle weighs about 80 kilograms.

Even if you remove the internal organs, peel off the skin and bones, leaving only the firm meat, the weight of one fish can still be over 20 kilograms.

What's more, some inedible parts can be squeezed into juice as nutrient solution, so Chen Ming doesn't want to waste any of it except the blood which is difficult to collect.

Especially the skin of the purple gazelle, the soft dark fur with lavender patterned spots looks very good.

Moreover, Chen Ming remembered that there seemed to be a book introducing leather tanning on the terminal.

Although he didn't seem to have the materials needed to tan leather on hand, he could freeze them for the time being so that the fur wouldn't go bad.

It might be useful in the future.

After working for several hours because his hands were unfamiliar with handling animals in a long time, Chen Ming finally returned to the spaceship with four completely dissected purple gazelles.

Chen Ming stuffed most of the organs and bones into the nutrient solution extractor.

Because internal organs are very easy to rot, Chen Ming would not dare to eat them if they had been frozen for a few months, so he might as well just dispose of them like this.

It just so happens that the efficiency of extracting nutrient solution using this type of thing is much higher than going outside with a shovel to shovel the soil yourself.

However, Chen Ming also deliberately left behind some organs.

He took it to the woods east of the spaceship and set up a few simple trigger traps by following the book "Setting Up Simple Environmental Traps".

Both animal organs and ordinary soil can be used to extract nutrient solution, but soil cannot be used to attract carnivorous animals like organ meats.

Taking something of low value in exchange for the opportunity to harvest meat, there is not much loss even if it fails.

If you succeed, you will make a lot of money.

Chen Ming was happy to make this kind of exchange.

After a morning of hunting and processing prey, plus coming back to set traps, the morning passed quickly.

At noon on the sixth day after the spacecraft landed, Chen Ming finally ate his first meat meal since coming to this world.

Although there was no seasoning, only the purple beans that Chen Ming had found before as a side dish, the taste of the purple beans and antelope meat stewed with them was much better than the sweet and almost greasy orange fruit that Chen Ming had eaten dry two days ago.

After all, no matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day. For Chen Ming, being able to change the taste a little is already a great luxury.

After lunch, Chen Ming still spent the afternoon inside the reinforced fence.

Apart from anything else, Chen Ming felt that the fence he built should at least be able to withstand the impact of the group of purple-tailed deer yesterday.

Otherwise, it would be better not to build a fence that will collapse at the slightest impact.

Until night, Chen Ming would use his last time before going to bed to look at the various books in the terminal that might be useful for his survival on the planet, as well as other professional books that might be useful in the future.

The day passed like this.

The next day, the seventh day of the spacecraft's landing arrived.

As usual, Chen Ming first took care of the land he planted outside, and then went to check the place where he set the trap yesterday.

The trap did not catch the animal, but all the internal organs that Chen Ming poured into it were eaten.

It seems that animals are smarter than we think.

Chen Ming was not surprised by the result, and he was not upset. This failure was just a small episode.

Anyway, animals are not as smart as humans. If you fail this time, just try again next time.

As the person who sets the trap, you can make many mistakes, but if the animal makes one mistake, it will become your meal.

Chen Ming cleaned up the mess in the trap and made some improvements to the trap based on what he had read last night.

If the trap does not yield any results this time, we will have to wait for the next hunt to yield results.

Tending the fields and checking the traps are daily tasks.

But what Chen Ming really wants to do today is hunting.

After yesterday's successful hunt, Chen Ming has completely understood what an inexperienced person like himself should do when hunting.

It just so happened that I had discovered more than one trace of animals drinking water by the river.

The herd of purple antelopes will definitely not come, but other animals may still come to drink water.

Chen Ming returned to the spaceship, put on the rough camouflage suit he made, and headed towards the river.

However, shortly after Chen Ming left the spacecraft.

A small animal that looked like a hamster suddenly appeared in the woods. It looked at the spaceship curiously for a few times, then quickly ran out of the woods and to the fence.

He quietly passed through the gap in the fence, followed the bottom of the spacecraft, the space supported by the landing gear, and ran into the field that Chen Ming had cultivated nearby.

With just a few claws, it dug up a rice seedling that had just begun to sprout, and with a pair of big teeth it bit off a section.

The little hamster had a human-like expression of satisfaction on his face as he enjoyed the food he had stolen.

However, the next moment, a shadow suddenly appeared above its head.

A basket made of wire mesh was placed directly on its head.

"Got you."

Chen Ming's voice rang out along with the vibration of the basket hitting the ground.

I had just walked a short distance when I noticed something strange on the surveillance camera.

If I hadn't noticed and really gone hunting, the entire field would have been eaten clean by it.

As soon as the little guy was put into the cage, he started digging the ground with his two little paws desperately. After a short while, he dug a small hole in the ground that could accommodate him and crawled into it.

But immediately Chen Ming picked it up by the scruff of its neck.

"Hamster?"

The little guy was covered in fur, with a pair of big white teeth half exposed. He looked like he had given up struggling when he was caught by Chen Ming.

Looks pretty cute.

Chen Ming casually threw the thing that looked like a hamster into the wire mesh basket that he had just used to hold it, closed the lid, and locked it.

After spraying the entire cage with disinfectant herbal juice, he stuffed it into the storage compartment.

Come back and deal with it.

Some animals drink water at the river very early, so Chen Ming can't waste too much time and has to go there quickly.

It would be great if today's hunting yielded some results, but if not, this will be our dinner.

At noon, Chen Ming returned to the spaceship empty-handed.

Today's hunting did not go as he wished. Apparently, the commotion caused by the river yesterday made many animals temporarily give up the idea of ​​drinking water nearby.

Although Chen Ming felt a little regretful, he quickly adjusted his mood.

But when Chen Ming walked onto the spaceship and opened the door of the storage compartment, he found that the basket he used to hold the hamster he had caught in the morning was broken.

The broken parts of the iron basket showed signs of being gnawed by something.
