Chapter 237
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Shen Baoying tried hard to make big and plump potatoes grow on the ground.
After unremitting efforts, she failed.
In front of everyone, there was only the small willow-like sapling.
Only then did Shen Baoying realize that she could only help the plants in the soil to germinate.
This piece of land has been covered by volcanic lava, so it is a great fortune to be able to grow saplings.
But how can they survive by eating only willow trees?
Jiang Linhai stepped forward and said, "I'll go to the sea and catch some fish!"
He can breathe freely in the sea, spray ink, and transform into octopus legs, so he should be able to avoid dangers in the sea.
There are so many people, and they all need to eat, so we really need to find a way.
But there are not only megalodon sharks in the sea, there are other unknown dangers.
Jiang Si said: "Let's find some tools to catch fish. If that doesn't work, we can just go to the beach and see if the ahoge can catch any fish."
Jiang Linhai nodded, "Okay."
But it is difficult to find small branches that have not been burned clean, let alone other tools for fishing.
At this time, Jiang Si was extremely upset. Why did her space disappear?
If she had left an energy stone in her body when she lost control, she might not even have trouble eating now.
Suddenly, those insects that looked so scary just now emerged from the ground again, wanting to eat the saplings that Shen Baoying had grown.
Xiaochun was probably hungry too, so he went forward and took a bite, eating quite a few bugs.
Jiang Si was worried that it would die from the poison, so he quickly grabbed its neck and said, "Quick, quick, spit it out! You can't eat this!"
But she was a step too late, and Xiaochun swallowed the insect in one gulp.
Everyone suddenly became nervous and stared at Xiaochun, fearing that it would suffer from the poisoning.
But after waiting for a while, Xiaochun not only did not have any adverse reaction, but instead ignored Jiang Si's obstruction and ate another bite of the insect.
Xiaochun has a row of teeth in his mouth, and the crisp sound of the insects crackling sounds quite tempting.
Perhaps, this is really just a kind of insect that looks scary but is edible.
If this bug is edible, everyone won’t have to think about fishing for the time being.
Of course, it may take a while for the toxicity to kick in.
So everyone waited patiently for a while.
It wasn't until Xiaochun suddenly let out a fart that was incredibly smelly, like something from a biological weapon, that Qin Shen finally confirmed: "This insect isn't poisonous, it just makes you fart smelly after eating it."
Jiang Si pinched his nose and said, "This isn't just stinky, it's clearly a biological weapon!"
But even though they knew eating this thing would cause them to fart, everyone still decided to try it and see what it tasted like to roast this insect.
In the absence of any materials, everyone dug a hole on the spot and built an earthen stove. Shen Baoying also produced some saplings, and the trunks were used as fuel for everyone.
They pick off leaves and use them as bait to lure out the insects.
The insects smelled the tempting scent of the leaves and soon emerged from the ground one by one.
They look different, except for a pair of colorful wings that cannot fly.
Jiang Si picked up a bug and peeled off its wings. It looked a bit like a large mealworm.
It's a little appetizing, but you have to ignore its huge anal butt.
Jiang Si threw it into the fire. After a while, they heard the sizzling sound of oil popping from the fire. Everyone leaned over to look and it seemed to smell quite fragrant.
After a while, Jiang Si pulled the insect out of the fire.
The roasted insects are golden and crispy, and look very appetizing.
Maybe it was because she was hungry.
Jiang Si took a tentative bite and found it had a collagen-rich texture and surprisingly tasted quite good.
Jiang Si nodded, and everyone's eyes immediately lit up and they started catching insects around them.
Bobby caught a bug, peeled off its colorful wings, and it looked like a cockroach.
When thrown into the fire and concentrated, it looks more like a cockroach.
It looked disgusting, but Bobby ate it in one gulp with an expressionless face.
Shen Baoying asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Bobby nodded seriously, "It's delicious."
Since things that look like cockroaches taste pretty good, people are not so averse to other strange-looking insects.
Everyone was catching bugs, roasting them, and farting at the same time.
As I smelled it more and more, I actually got a little used to it.
Everyone looked at each other and wanted to laugh.
Niuniu was a little thirsty. She looked at Kilton, who could control water, and said, "Big brother, can you give us some water?"
Kilton stretched out his hand, and a circle of crystal clear water condensed in his palm.
Everyone held out their palms to scoop up some water and drank it.
Kilton had a bad feeling and whispered to Jiang Si, "It's too dry here. I don't have much water left to condense."
The condition for Kilton to control water is that there are enough water molecules in the air for him to drive at will, just like Shen Baoying can make branches with hope sprout, both of which require basic conditions.
People can go without food for three days, but cannot go without water for one day.
The source of the water cannot be explained, but it is a big problem.
Jiang thought of Mina, who could control the weather, but Mina shook her head and said, "I just tried it, and it didn't rain."
If it doesn't rain and water doesn't condense, then this is not a suitable place to live.
Qin Shen said, "Perhaps the humidity at the seaside is high, so more water can condense."
Jiang Si thought so too, but there might be more dangers at the seaside, so he still had to find a safer place.
Jiang Si planned to take Daimao out to check out the terrain first, and then let everyone move together, so as to avoid going back and forth.
Before she told everyone her decision, a strong wind blew up, and the already dry land was suddenly covered with yellow sand.
Everyone was covered in ashes in an instant.
But this is not the end yet. The wind grew stronger and stronger, and soon the surroundings became foggy and unclear.
Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses to prevent yellow sand from entering their noses and mouths.
But if you cover your mouth and nose, your ears and eyes become your weak points.
Jiang Si took off a coat without hesitation and covered his head with it, and others followed suit.
I thought that if I held on for a while, this strong wind would pass.
But who would have thought that the yellow sand would quickly form a tornado right under their noses.
And they're about to be rolled up.
Jiang Si quickly shouted to everyone, "Get down quickly and hold on to the ground!"
The ground was loose sand and gravel, and everyone was basically pressing on each other until the tornado luckily passed over their heads.
After a long while, Jiang Si finally popped his head out of the sand.
She coughed violently several times, spitting out a mouthful of sand.
Jiang Si's eyes were fine, but the others' eyes had sand in them, and they were red and bloodshot, and urgently needed to be washed with clean water.
All the water that Kilton could condense was used to wash everyone's eyes.
When everyone was preparing to evacuate, a sandstorm suddenly came towards them again.
There is no need to come here at this time.
Jiang Si quickly asked everyone to cover their heads, and then turned his body upside down again, barely grabbing the ground.
The sandstorm was more powerful than a tornado, and Xiaochun was almost blown away. Fortunately, Qin Shen suddenly transformed into a white tiger and caught it in his mouth.
The sandstorm lasted longer than a tornado. We were buried in the sand for more than half an hour. When we felt insects crawling around us, we suddenly crawled out of the sand.
After the extreme cold, Mo Bucheng started the desert survival mode again.
Then they are really miserable.
Everyone sighed for a few seconds, then quickly followed Jiang Si's instructions and moved towards the beach.
When I got to the beach, I still didn't see a suitable place.
And it's getting dark soon.
Jiang Si said, "Let's just stay here for one night."
"good."
Because all the supplies were gone, no one could even set up tents.
They each dug a suitable hole for themselves and slept in it.
Jiang Si seemed much happier.
Qin Shen transformed into his huge furry original form and held her in his arms on his stomach.
Soft and warm, with Qin Shen's scent, it feels very safe.
The temperature at night is very different from that during the day, and everyone felt cold all over while sleeping in the cave.
They couldn't help but move closer to Qin Shen, or closer to Xiaochun and the others to huddle together for warmth.
The aho-haired zombie mutated and came alive, so it had no body temperature. Kilton leaned against it for a long time and felt something was wrong, so he hurried over to Xiaochun and squeezed in with his sister.
Everyone snuggled together and spent the night.
After getting up and finding a place to take care of their physiological needs, they were faced with the question of what to eat today.
There are no bugs for them to eat here.
The only place to find food is the sea.
Everyone decided to try their luck and see if they could find some food on the beach.
They walked around the beach. The land was covered by volcanic lava and then rose from the ground after being submerged by Jiang Si's energy.
It is a brand new continent, so we couldn't find any shellfish like those that live on the seashore.
But there seemed to be something in the sand.
Everyone stopped immediately and stared at the ping-pong ball-sized hole in the sand, pondering it.
Shen Baoying asked in a panic: "Could it be a snake?"
There are so many holes. If there are snakes, they have to run away now.
So as not to alarm the snakes.
Jiang Si took a look and felt that it was not the case.
Big Black and Little Black were already digging in the sand quickly. After a while, sea water emerged from the hole they had dug, and a big red-headed mantis shrimp jumped out from another hole.
The atmosphere instantly became lively!
This thing looks edible and delicious.
Dahei held it in his mouth and brought it to Jiang Si as if he was presenting a treasure.
Jiang Si patted its head and praised it, "Big Black and Little Black are really amazing. I'll cook them for you guys later!"
When Dahei and Xiaohei were praised, Xiaochun and the others became jealous.
It also used its huge claws to constantly rummage through the sand.
But the mantis shrimps are buried quite deep, so they are really hard to find.
They dug in the sand for a long time before they caught a few, but they were not enough to fill their teeth.
Feeling sorry for their physical effort, Xiaochun and the others thought about it and decided to spread their wings and prepare to go to the sea surface to catch fish.
Jiang Si warned them: "Be sure to be careful of sharks!"
I’m afraid that the shark has a brain, lurking on the water surface, and jumps up to bite Xiaochun and the others.
Xiaochun and the others understood Jiang Si's instructions, spread their wings and flew away.
Jiang Si and his friends continued to catch mantis shrimps. Generally, mantis shrimps have two holes. If you dig the hole on the right, it will come out from the left.
If you have tools, you can just suck them out.
Jiang Sigang sighed for a second, then turned around and saw Jiang Linhai conjure up octopus legs and kept inserting them into the hole, forcing the mantis shrimps to jump all over the beach. Everyone put them in their pockets and had a lot of fun catching them.
Of course, people prefer eating seafood to eating insects.
There is seafood but no pot.
But it doesn’t matter, they have the powerful King Qin Shen.
Qin Shen smashed a huge sea rock with one fist, and then used a smaller sea rock as a tool to chisel out a stone pot under everyone's expectant gaze.
Aside from being a bit heavy, it's quite delicate.
As usual, everyone dug an earthen stove and put the stone pot on it. Kilton licked some water condensed into it, and everyone began to look forward to a sumptuous meal.
They caught a lot and could still eat more after cooking a pot.
The only worry is that there is not enough firewood.
Because Shen Baoying's rate of induction is limited, and she also has to find small branches around that can sprout.
While waiting for the mantis shrimp to be cooked in the stone pot, Jiang Si looked out at the seaside.
Then we discovered seaweed.
Seaweed is not only inedible, but also can be dried and burned with firewood to supplement vitamins and other nutrients.
Jiang Si immediately mobilized everyone to collect the seaweed.
As soon as they got down to the beach, Niu Niu suddenly screamed.
Everyone rushed over and saw that Niu Niu's ankle seemed to have been bitten by something and was swelling rapidly.
Qin Shen walked over and took a look. The wound looked like it was caused by a jellyfish sting.
Without any external medicine, Qin Shen could only use his supernatural powers to heal it.
While Qin Shen extended his hand to treat Niu Niu, Jiang Si also quickly reminded everyone that when collecting seaweed, they must carefully check whether there are jellyfish caught in it.
In fact, jellyfish is edible, but it needs to be dissolved and marinated with water, salt, and alum, and this process needs to be repeated more than three times to filter out the water and remove the toxins.
However, Shui and Ming Gong are currently in short supply.
Jiang Si let the jellyfish go for the time being.
About several hundred kilograms of seaweed were salvaged, and after drying, it would be enough for them to use for at least one or two days.
Shen Baoying also found some kelp in the seaweed and cooked it into kelp soup.
A bowl of hot kelp soup and a bite of mantis shrimp is quite delicious.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Just then, Xiaochun and the others came back together.
They were holding a large sea fish in their mouths, which they threw in front of everyone. It was probably the spoils they brought back.
Jiang Si patted their heads one by one and encouraged them, "You guys are awesome!"
Xiaochun raised its head proudly and barked happily twice. Jiang Si also rewarded it with a few mantis shrimps.
