In just over ten minutes, they chopped all the edible parts into large pieces.
After stuffing it into his backpack, he hurried off to the trap.
Two wild boars, one male and one female, were found dead, their abdomens pierced by five sharp spikes. They lay on their sides in the pit with their bodies.
Judging from their size, the two pigs together should weigh around 350 pounds, plus the meat from the previous dissected pig…
He estimates that this batch should yield more than 250 kilograms of pure meat.
Half an hour later, the four of them finished processing all the pork.
It filled about two backpacks.
By this time, the sky had basically darkened, and although the twilight sunlight seemed bright, it mostly shone only on the towering green leaves.
Visibility in the forest has decreased significantly compared to an hour ago.
People unfamiliar with the road conditions are likely to slip and fall on this rugged mountain road.
Fortunately, Ye Feng was quite familiar with this place.
The four split into two groups, each carrying a wooden stick on their shoulder with a backpack hanging from the center of the stick, and walked back.
By the time they reached the campsite, it was already mostly dark.
Upon seeing Ye Feng and his group carrying backpacks, everyone was overjoyed and rushed to greet them.
Clearly, they're in for a treat tonight...
Ye Feng only sat in front of the treehouse for a short while, drank a couple of sips of water, and then immediately stood up.
He has no time to rest now, partly as the team leader and partly out of personal habit.
He had to maximize anything that could improve his chances of survival.
This trip is either heading towards their shared goal: to win the grand prize and return home.
Either die in the wilderness, thus enabling others to succeed.
Nothing can be done carelessly...
"How's the work going, you guys?"
Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaoyan reported:
"There were 8 taro plants left in the taro field, and some others that hadn't grown yet, making a total of 13. We pulled them all up."
The starch dough is almost set; it's ready to be used to make pancakes.
"I've washed all the clothes, but some of the bloodstains just won't come out."
Ye Feng nodded…
"As long as it's wearable and functional, it doesn't matter if there's blood on it. You've done a good job."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhan Pengfei and Qi Xiaojie.
Qi Xiaojie was about to speak when Ye Feng stopped him.
"Don't bother speaking. By the time you finish, it will be dawn. Zhan Pengfei, you can speak then."
Zhan Pengfei wiped the dirt off his face; he had done quite a bit of work that afternoon.
But he didn't look tired at all; on the contrary, he seemed quite excited.
Young people have boundless energy.
"There were a total of one hundred grapes, and Sister Xiaoyan boiled them all into syrup."
Little Stutterer and I dug up two big bags of soil, and some clay, which Little Stutterer found in the back mountain.
Let me tell you, Feng-ge, today really exhausted us two...
When we went to the back mountain, we first...
"Okay, okay, that's enough..."
Ye Feng quickly interrupted, knowing that once this kid's talkative nature kicked in, he would go on and on.
He had no time to listen... He simply pointed to the backpacks filled with meat on the ground and gave instructions:
"Now, apart from Da Xiong and the monk, everyone else immediately began processing the pork."
Set aside food for tonight and tomorrow morning, and turn the rest into jerky.
In addition, everyone took out everything except the knife they carried for self-defense.
We're leaving tomorrow, so we have to get all the work done tonight!
"good!"
Everyone knew the importance of this trip.
I've spent over two months in this godforsaken place, enduring natural disasters, man-made calamities, backstabbing, and life-or-death struggles. Wasn't all this for this moment?
If they don't get out soon, they might forget what a city is like.
So everyone responded with great enthusiasm and then went about their own business.
Zhan Pengwu rolled up his sleeves, not thinking too much like the others.
But the thought of having a big meal that night gave him a lot of energy.
"Hey buddy! What do you want me to do?"
Ye Feng took the spiked club from his hand and, seeing that the steel spikes were almost completely fallen off, he already had a solution in mind.
Although he was not a martial artist, he knew that the importance of weapons in close-quarters combat was self-evident.
Last time, Zhan Pengwu almost got killed because he cut corners on the spiked club.
Ye Feng had always kept this matter in mind.
He didn't want his companion to get into trouble because of his own actions.
“I’ve figured out a solution for your weapon. Now, remove all the steel spikes from it.”
Remember to scrape off all the crystallized resin and leave it.
"Wow! Really?!"
Zhan Pengwu grinned widely and gave Ye Feng a bear hug, clearly very happy.
For a martial artist, the weapon is like their own hand.
A well-chosen weapon can have a remarkable effect in turning the tide of battle.
"That's great! If you can make a sturdy spiked club, my fighting power will double!"
If it works out, you'll be like the Buddha in my heart. Just wait, I'll get right to it!
After saying that, he kissed Ye Feng on the cheek so fast that Ye Feng didn't even have time to stop him.
He wiped his face with disgust; for a straight man, it really felt nauseous.
Watching Zhan Pengwu leave happily, Ye Feng shook his head.
Simple-minded people always have a variety of reasons for being happy.
He instructed Fu Changxiong to start mixing the mud, while he himself began digging a hole next to the treehouse, preparing to build a furnace.
For the first twenty minutes, it was alright; I could still barely see the ground.
But once it gets completely dark, it becomes pitch black and impossible to work.
Then I realized that I had forgotten the most important lighting equipment.
There's no light at night, so you can't do anything.
"oops!"
Ye Feng slapped his forehead. Just as he was about to make a few torches, Liu Sisi from the treehouse threw down a small bundle of firewood.
"Brother Feng, I knew you would need torches, so I made some for you in advance."
"Let's try the method you taught me before, see if it works?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and then gave her an approving smile.
This woman is always so understanding and knows what I'm thinking.
After lighting the torch, he gave a thumbs up…
"Well done, Sisi. You'll get the most meat later."
"whee…"
Liu Sisi returned his smile with a playful and cute one, then went back to her room to continue working.
For the next two hours, everyone worked almost non-stop.
The sounds of chopping boards, the scraping of metal, the dull thud of meat being chopped, and the chatter of people...
We wandered further and further into this forest filled with the chirping of insects…
At 8 p.m., a brand-new embedded furnace was completed.
Zhan Pengwu, who had already removed the steel spikes, stood by holding a torch and helping out.
This time, Ye Feng not only wanted to completely solve his weapon problem, but also to turn all his cumbersome knives into defensive weapons.
