The pufferfish realized that the two unknown creatures were up to no good, and in a panic, its left hind leg began to thrash wildly.
But Zhan Pengfei's head was not within its attack range, so it could only quickly glare at the ground and dig out dirt backwards.
Just then, Zhan Pengfei was laughing loudly, and a lot of dirt flew into his mouth...
"Ahhh! Ugh!"
The sudden appearance of a foreign object in his mouth caused his hand to lose its strength, and the guinea pig broke free.
"You bastard! I'll see what you've got today... Ah!!"
Just as he was about to get up and continue the chase, Qi Xiaojie tried to help, but she lost her balance and fell onto his back.
Zhan Pengfei was hit so hard that he spat out a mouthful of dirt, his face turned red, and the veins in his neck bulged.
He already had a back injury, which looked like it was caused by both pain and anger.
He slowly turned his head to look at Qi Xiaojie, who was still clinging to his back with an embarrassed, smirking expression. At that moment, he really wanted to stab the stutterer in front of him to death.
"Are you... related to a guinea pig?!"
Qi Xiaojie smiled and apologized repeatedly...
"I'm...I'm sorry, I was thinking...come...come..."
"Screw you! Get up now!"
Zhan Pengfei roared, spitting out a mouthful of dirt. The two immediately stood up and chased after him again...
Perhaps because this pufferfish was too round, it wasn't very fast.
When it came to a patch of vegetation, it simply burrowed inside.
The two arrived shortly after. Zhan Pengfei spat out a mouthful of muddy water and angrily rolled up his sleeves... He casually parted the sparse vegetation with a few strokes.
A hole about the size of a bowl was then revealed...
It's obvious that this is the nest of the guinea pig.
"Hmph! Today I'll dig you out even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"
"Little stutterer, where's Brother Feng's shovel?"
"This...this is it!"
Qi Xiaojie took out a shovel, but Zhan Pengfei didn't take it. Instead, he pointed at the hole and complained angrily:
"Why should I do it? To keep you out of the way, you're the one digging this time!"
"oh."
Qi Xiaojie didn't refuse. He took off his backpack and started shoveling dirt, while Zhan Pengfei cut a stick and stood guard at the entrance of the cave, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
As the shovel continued to be swung, the pufferfish's burrow drew closer and closer, and its cries grew louder and louder.
Finally, the moment it saw the guinea pig, it darted out...
Strangely enough... when it flew past Zhan Pengfei, he seemed to have been paralyzed by acupuncture points.
He just stared blankly into the cave entrance, his mouth slightly open, his expression one of surprise.
He didn't react at all until the pufferfish ran past him.
"Hey!"
Qi Xiaojie turned around and saw him looking completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
However, not wanting to let his prey escape, he didn't have time to ask questions. He simply pulled out a steel bladder from his pocket, aimed, and flung it forward...
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The steel gall was incredibly powerful; Qi Xiaojie didn't even have to run, and it hit the guinea pig's rear end instantly.
The guinea pig let out a squeak of agony as the steel spikes on its gallbladder pierced its body, and it was flailing its short legs upside down.
Qi Xiaojie quickly ran forward and killed it with a single slash.
When Qi Xiaojie returned with the porcupine, he was surprised to find Zhan Pengfei still digging into the burrow with a shovel.
"Hey! You've...caught them all...what are you doing...?"
"Shut up!"
Zhan Pengfei immediately stopped him and started digging in the soil with great speed, working even harder than he was chopping down trees, as if there were some real treasure hidden in the cave.
With the mud flying everywhere, the rat hole was quickly and completely dug out.
Inside the cave, besides some dry grass and leaves used by the guinea pigs to build their nests, there was a clump about the size of a bowl, pale yellow, that looked like the fat layer of some kind of animal.
There were many uneven teeth marks on it, which must have been caused by a guinea pig.
"hey-hey..."
Zhan Pengfei grinned excitedly and carefully picked up the lump of object as if it were a priceless treasure.
He examined the object like an expert appraiser, occasionally taking a sniff of it.
After a while, he burst into hearty laughter...
"That's amazing! Hahaha! I was wondering how that pufferfish could grow so big, so that's what it eats!"
His words left Qi Xiaojie, who was still completely bewildered, utterly confused...
"What...what's wrong with you? What's this...?"
"This is Tai Sui, also known as meat Lingzhi."
Zhan Pengfei didn't want to listen to Qi Xiaojie's stammering, so he directly revealed the true identity of the item.
"Meat Ganoderma, also known as meat lingzhi, is called meat, shi meat, earth meat, and ju meat..."
It contains abundant nucleic acids, phospholipids, polypeptides, polysaccharides, chitin, linoleic acid, glycosides, as well as various vitamins and trace elements, and hundreds of bioactive ingredients.
It's both a traditional Chinese medicine and a super tonic! Haha..."
At this point, Zhan Pengfei took a deep sniff, even though it was still covered in dirt and smelled unpleasant...
But he seemed to accept it as a welcome rain, looking completely blissful...
The Compendium of Materia Medica records that "[Coriander, when consumed regularly, can lighten the body, prevent aging, and prolong life like an immortal.]"
Moreover, according to rumors, this was one of the ingredients in the elixir of immortality that Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to find.
This is absolutely a miracle drug for nourishing the body!
Qi Xiaojie was completely bewildered by this explanation. He hadn't even finished high school, so how could he possibly know anything about the Compendium of Materia Medica?
However, he only understood one sentence: "This stuff is very nutritious; it's good for people."
This means... there's hope for Feng and the others to recover from their injuries.
"Then... let's... hurry..."
"I know, I know, I'll be right back. Don't slack off, hurry up and cut down the trees."
Without waiting for his reply, Zhan Pengfei picked up the Tai Sui and the porcupine and ran back to the camp without stopping.
At this time, only Qi Xiaoyan was at the camp taking care of the wounded...
She was overjoyed to hear Zhan Pengfei say that this thing could help wounded soldiers recover quickly.
The sooner Ye Feng wakes up, the more secure the team will truly feel.
After Zhan Pengfei gave her a series of instructions, she quickly began preparations...
The *Tai Sui* and the guinea pig were washed clean and sliced, with not a single grain wasted.
Meanwhile, Salla and Lia's hunting is also progressing well.
In just one hour, they caught 12 birds, two squirrels, and dozens of stag beetle larvae.
Upon their return, the two immediately began helping everyone build a new camp.
Finally, around 6 a.m., as darkness approached, they completed the construction of the platform...
The workmanship is rather rudimentary, the quality is not good, and the floor is uneven...
Fortunately, it allowed several wounded soldiers to get off the ground, avoiding most of the poison.
