Ye Feng quickly pulled out his short knife and stabbed it in the neck, ending its life.
Ye Feng immediately picked it up...
This is a black and white porcupine with some white stripes on its belly.
From the side, it looks a bit like a wild boar, and from the front, it looks a bit like a capybara.
Ye Feng weighed it briefly. It was about 5 jin (2.5 catties)...
"Haha! We've got the meat filling...you guys, hurry up and dig it up, we're having dumplings tonight!"
"good!"
All three of them agreed with beaming smiles.
Before long, all the small taro plants within ten meters of the edge of the depression were dug up.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng had dug a hole in the depression. All he needed to do next was bury the taro in it.
"You guys, first dig out ten large taro plants from the low-lying area, and then plant some smaller taro plants."
Don't dig up too much! It will spoil if you can't finish it.
I'm going to wander around and look for some ingredients to make dumplings.
You can go straight back after you're done. Don't wait for me. Wash the taro clean, but don't cut it.
Also, Little Stutterer, go hunt a couple of birds later, try to choose parrots, I heard their meat tastes better.”
"OK!"
Be careful.
...
After the three nodded in agreement, Ye Feng picked up his compound bow and backpack and went into the forest.
Watching his departing figure, Fu Changxiong couldn't hold back any longer and asked Liu Sisi, who was standing beside him:
"Hey girl, how do you make dumplings from taro?"
"Well……"
After pondering for a moment with her eyebrows raised, Liu Sisi replied:
"I think... there is starch in this taro, and Brother Feng probably wants to extract this starch and make it into flour."
However, I'm not entirely sure how to refine it. Anyway, just watch Brother Feng's performance later.
"Don't you trust his knowledge?"
"No, I was just curious."
Fu Changxiong waved his hand…
Liu Sisi yanked out a taro plant, splashing black dirt all over her face.
"Let's hurry up and get to work; there's still no progress on the treehouse today."
The pressure on Brother Feng is much greater than we imagined.
We've caused him a lot of trouble lately.
Fu Changxiong pursed his lips and nodded remorsefully. He knew very well that without Ye Feng, they would never have survived to this day.
The only way to repay him is to do everything I can to the best of my ability.
After saying that, the group continued to work diligently.
More than ten minutes later, Ye Feng had walked several hundred meters.
This mountain was much bigger than the small hill he used to live on, and it felt like it stretched out into the distance.
Since arriving here, he has had no time to properly explore.
However, what he can be certain of now is that there are mountain springs and black soil here.
The resources are definitely much richer than that small hill.
Therefore, there must be other things that can be eaten.
And the facts were pretty much as he had guessed. Not long after he walked, he spotted several red spots in the bushes not far in front of him.
Ye Feng quickly took out his binoculars and took a look, and immediately smiled.
"Hehe, there really is something good here."
He walked over quickly...
Hidden among the weeds were about a dozen small red flowers.
Begonia flowers —
It looks very similar to a rose, but it's not as red.
A faint red line was painted along the outer edge of each petal.
It's hailed as an emergency remedy for hypoglycemia in the jungle. It effectively replenishes blood sugar and also contains a large amount of carbohydrates.
It is one of the best sources of survival energy.
Ye Feng once saw Bear Grylls eat this flower raw in a survival show.
So he immediately picked a flower and popped it into his mouth.
After chewing twice, he raised his eyebrows.
The taste is indeed very good. In addition to the obvious sweetness, it also has a hint of the unique fragrance of flowers.
How could we let such a good thing pass us by?
He excitedly picked all the begonias that he could see.
After finishing, they continued walking uphill...
The saying "One region's water and soil nurture its people" also applies to the plant kingdom.
Because of its high elevation and the presence of mountain springs, it's not surprising that plants and animals thrive here.
Along the way, various bird calls swirled above Ye Feng's head, and he encountered many poisonous insects and snakes.
Armored vipers, spearhead vipers, and red imported fire ants—they all seem to have taken root here.
If it weren't for the leg wraps protecting him, he could have easily gotten into trouble.
This confirms what Bear Grylls once said.
In the jungle, a place rich in resources, danger and opportunity coexist.
Because that place is like a restaurant that nature has opened for all living things.
Whether you become prey or hunter depends entirely on your position in the food chain.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Feng stopped.
He had been walking for more than half an hour, but he still couldn't see the top of the mountain; all he could see was an endless expanse of forest.
However, he doesn't plan to leave again.
At this moment, he was still on the slope, about ten meters in front of him.
He saw two very familiar large trees.
One was the Elephant Leg Tree, which hadn't been seen in a long time, and the other was the Birch Tree, the arrow material that Ye Feng had been searching for for a long time.
It remains as straight and upright as ever.
However, Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed on the branches of the birch tree.
A gray spider, about the size of a palm, was lying on it, motionless, seemingly taking a nap.
Ye Feng was startled; he had never seen such a large spider before.
He carefully moved his feet and slowly stepped forward.
When it got within about two meters, the large spider's front legs suddenly twitched.
It adjusted its body and suddenly raised its four front legs, which were covered with fine down.
It revealed two hook-shaped black fangs, and eight tiny eyes, no bigger than grains of rice, stared intently at Ye Feng.
Clearly, this was a warning to him not to come closer.
With its enormous size and keen senses, Ye Feng immediately recognized its identity.
Amazonian tarantula—
The world's largest venomous spider, like the giant centipede, belongs to the pinnacle of venomous insects.
It is also one of the tops of the food chain in this land.
Its diet is wide-ranging, including birds and insects, as well as some venomous snakes.
Tarantulas contain neurotoxins and cytolytic toxins.
Being bitten can cause local redness, swelling and pain, followed by lymphangitis, tissue necrosis or purpura.
You must be extremely careful when encountering this kind of spider in the wild.
Don't be fooled by their slow appearance. Because they are very slow.
In fact, tarantulas are very fast when they attack.
They will quickly pin down their prey with their four front legs and inject venom into its body.
His venom can dissolve muscle tissue, turning the inside of his prey into a pot of soup.
They would drink the food after the prey was completely dead.
It is said that the inspiration for the corpse-dissolving potion in martial arts novels came from this kind of poisonous insect…
