Ye Feng always liked to collect things, even poisonous ones, as long as they were used properly, they could still be used as tools to protect himself.
In no time, the giant viper was completely drained, not a drop left.
Ye Feng lifted the cloth and looked at the amount of venom. It was about 300 milligrams, just enough to submerge the bottom of the jar.
Although this was already quite prestigious among venomous snakes, he still felt it was too little.
After all, that Gaboon viper had given him almost 1000 milligrams.
Compared to the other two, it is indeed much inferior.
"Damn, it's not even as much as mine."
After complaining, Ye Feng asked Liu Sisi to bring out a new backpack and put the snake in it.
This snake is tonight's dinner; who knows, we might even be able to squeeze some venom out of it by tonight.
After they finished, the two little monkeys immediately climbed down from the tree.
Still shaken, they nestled in Ye Feng's arms like wronged children, their bodies trembling slightly.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Ye Feng patted the two monkeys' heads and examined them carefully for a while. He found no signs of being bitten and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's likely that the giant viper crept over quietly while the two monkeys were eating leaves.
However, the howler monkeys are very alert; once they are discovered, they hide in the trees.
"Don't run around like that again. It's a good thing snakes can't climb trees that tall, otherwise one of you would definitely be dead today. Go back."
He gently pushed the two monkeys onto his shoulder, and they automatically crawled into his backpack.
Ye Feng waved to Zhan Pengfei, and the group resumed their journey.
The temperature today is around 32 degrees Celsius, and the rainforest remains humid and hot.
They were drenched in sweat after walking for less than half an hour.
My clothes were sticking to my skin, and there was a persistent, sticky feeling in the air, which was very uncomfortable.
However, it's much better than the day before yesterday.
With Zhan Pengfei joining the team as a "tool," the burden and pressure have been significantly reduced.
They traversed hills, forests, and grasslands, seemingly becoming one with the primeval rainforest.
Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, at least there were 12 eyes watching each other.
With a full set of survival gear, they easily got through it all.
During this journey, Zhan Pengfei's talkative nature was forcibly sealed by Ye Feng.
Feeling stifled, he could only pick herbs as he walked, gathering anything useful he could find.
Sometimes, Ye Feng and his friends would even step forward to help.
However, their eyes were always watching him. Picking more herbs wouldn't be a bad thing, since it wouldn't waste much time anyway.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and Ye Feng doesn't recognize many of the herbs.
But Zhan Pengfei knew everything about it, and clearly remembered which medicine treated which disease, even how many bowls of water to boil it into, whether to take it orally or apply it externally, he explained it all in great detail.
Ye Feng also took the opportunity to secretly learn a lot, which he kept in mind.
Suddenly, he, who had previously disliked Zhan Pengfei for talking too much, actually started to chat with him and ask him about traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhan Pengfei naturally answered all their questions, and the two walked and talked for two hours without realizing it.
It's almost noon now.
After descending a small hill, the group arrived at a low-lying, rugged path.
Liu Sisi finally couldn't hold on any longer and started panting heavily, her body bent over.
My face was covered in beads of sweat, and my feet were sore and swollen; I felt like I had reached my limit.
"Brother Feng...rest...rest for a while, have some water, eat something, and then continue. I...I really can't walk anymore."
Ye Feng looked at everyone's exhausted expressions and glanced at his watch.
Judging from their starting point on the map, they actually walked a distance of 2.5 kilometers in that morning.
This speed is already very fast, which means that if we walk another 3 kilometers or so in the afternoon, we will reach our destination.
That mysterious weapon he had been longing for day and night, representing his and his companions' hope of surviving to the end, was finally about to be obtained.
In high spirits, Ye Feng agreed to everyone's request.
The group found a shady spot and sat down with their backs against a large tree.
Since they had to continue their journey in the afternoon, Ye Feng planned to eat the snake for dinner, and would only have some dried meat to fill their stomachs at noon.
Fu Changxiong immediately took out the dried meat and started distributing it to everyone.
When Zhan Pengfei saw that the bulging bag was full of dried meat, his talkative nature was triggered again.
"Wow... Brother Feng, this... so much meat? Where did you get it?"
"nonsense."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at him.
"Where else could you get wild boars from besides this place? Did the production team provide them?"
"Holy crap, a wild boar?!"
Zhan Pengfei picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. The smoked pork jerky was very crispy, and it felt like... eating Doritos.
He chewed with a satisfying crunch, the aroma of the meat immediately filling his mouth, and besides the fragrance, he also tasted the salt.
The saltiness was just right; he felt he had never eaten such delicious jerky in his life.
"Wow... Brother Feng, this pork jerky smells so good, it tastes so good! It even has salt!? Where did you get the salt? Is it made from wood ash too?"
Ye Feng never expected that the food he considered the worst would be praised to such an extent by Zhan Pengfei.
"You, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, actually know how to make salt from wood ash? You have quite a bit of survival knowledge."
Zhan Pengfei stuffed the jerky into his mouth without looking like he hadn't eaten meat in ages.
He chewed and swallowed what was in his mouth, and after a moment replied:
"I don't know anything about these things. It's all Brother Dawei who does it, and I'm just learning from him."
But too much potassium salt can cause poisoning, right?
"Um."
Ye Feng nodded, casually chewing on the jerky, his expression indifferent.
"It's more than just poisoning; excessive intake can also lead to muscle weakness, increase the burden on the kidneys, and eventually kidney failure."
So you should eat less, or you might die.
Zhan Pengfei grinned, revealing a silly smile.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid. I have Chinese medicine to treat it. This jerky is so delicious, I don't know when I'll be able to eat it again."
"What!?"
Fu Changxiong stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been with Ye Feng for so long, and the food he was provided with was always excellent, so he gradually became picky about food.
So I can't really understand how someone like Zhan Pengfei, who can only eat insects and plants every day, and at most a little fish and bird meat, must feel.
"This stuff is all dry and gritty. We usually wouldn't eat it if it weren't for the convenience of traveling. We just keep it as a reserve."
"ah!?"
Zhan Pengfei looked at Fu Changxiong with a mixture of belief and doubt, feeling as if... was this Versailles?
"Is pork jerky a reserve food? Then... what do you usually eat?"
At this moment, Liu Sisi took over the conversation, her face full of a confident and smug smile.
