Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Ti Ma and Xing Dad, a happy family...
Generally speaking, if you get lost in other places, you need to go downstream and find the gathering place of people.
But when Ye Xuan and Cui Da explored the way, they found that the entire river here would eventually disappear underground.
In this special terrain, the only way to get out of the rainforest and find traces of human survival is to walk upstream along the river and head towards the fertile slopes of the mountain.
Sunlight in the rainforest is precious and counts every second.
After the two came back, they didn't bother to notice the strange atmosphere in the "team" at all, and shouted at everyone to set off as soon as possible.
Finally, we raced against time and found a larger stream before the daylight completely disappeared.
The water flow is sometimes slow and sometimes fast, the water source is sufficient, and the fish and shrimps at the bottom of the river are clearly visible.
This is a stream of living water.
There is a gentle slope on the river bank, which is suitable for a temporary rest.
Seeing such a clean river, everyone's tense mood was finally relieved a little.
After wading through knee-deep mud during the day, coupled with the hot and humid environment in the forest, my body was sticky and smelly.
Many people simply took off their dirty clothes and jumped into the river to wash themselves.
Some people even made their own bamboo forks and stood on rocks to spear fish in the water.
In this situation, Li Xingyan was also eager to try.
As soon as he took a step, Yun Ti grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back.
"You can't."
Yun Ti looked at the patch-like band-aids on Li Xingyan's face, with faint blood stains showing through, and felt inexplicably irritated.
She hated scars, hated the sight of blood seeping from beneath her own skin or the skin of her companions, which reminded her of her time as a panther.
"The smell of blood will easily attract other things," Yun Ti added lightly, "and the water temperature is low, you will catch a cold."
Too weak. Such trouble. I should have known not to agree to Li Ran's request to take care of my child.
Who can’t do that? A man can’t say no!
But he couldn't disobey his wife's words, not to mention that Ti Ti taught those scum a lesson for him, which showed that she still had him in her heart!
Hearing the concern in Yunti's words, Li Xingyan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. As long as he performs well, he will definitely be able to win the first place among all his rivals.
This eagerness continued until mealtime.
Yun Ti, Ban Lie and Ye Xuan caught several fish, and even He Junzhuo and his friends picked up some relatively fresh berries nearby.
Li Xingyan and Ming Jiaojiao were not willing to be outdone and successfully brought back... a bunch of poisonous mushrooms and poisonous green fruits.
It takes some skill to be able to accurately find so many poisonous substances in a resource-rich rainforest.
In the end, the two people who returned empty-handed felt bad and picked out some instant food from the treasure trove in their respective suitcases as "shares".
The bonfire was burning brightly, the bamboo and wood were crackling, and the earthy aroma of burning dead branches and leaves mixed with the smell of grilled fish was particularly mouth-watering.
Li Xingyan discovered that compared to fast food snacks, Yun Ti seemed to prefer fresh raw meat. As for chocolate biscuits, she wouldn't even look at them twice.
So, in fact, except for the first few days, Yunti took the food from the suitcase on her own initiative, and after that she usually went out hunting by herself.
Therefore, Banlue can follow her with good reason, Ye Xuan can also find an opportunity to partner with her, and now that Cui... Cui something, has also started to hang around in front of her from time to time.
Only him.
Useless thing.
Alas, even the grilled fish handed to me by Titi’s wife didn’t taste good.
Li Xingyan huddled in front of the fire, backpack in hand. The warm glow of the fireworks reflected on her beautiful, delicate face, making it seem even more desolate.
...but it is very appealing.
He unconsciously tightened the backpack against his chest, and suddenly, he felt something round.
Um?
Um? !
I had "hunted" an egg in the forest in the mountains before!
I had intended to leave it for Titi alone, but it turned out that he was too willful. We had been quarreling for so long that he never even looked through the bag and completely forgot about it.
Li Xingyan suddenly opened his backpack and stared at the shiny, round and plump egg in front of him.
It's unbelievable. I haven't noticed it for so many days, but it feels bigger than I thought.
big egg!
Great! He's no longer a useless guy with zero successful hunts!
"Titi! Look!" Li Xingyan took out the egg and presented it to Yunti with both hands as if offering a treasure.
Just about to brag about myself.
Baobao, who was squatting beside Yunti's legs, screamed and jumped onto her shoulder. He hugged her neck with one hand and still held the half-eaten fruit tightly in the other claw.
It was obvious that the force was very strong, and mucus oozed out of the cracked hard shell.
“W-What’s wrong?!”
Li Xingyan was also frightened and confused.
Looking up, Baobao was nestled between Yunti's collarbones, its fluffy white fur covered in purple berry juice, like a crumpled water lily crown.
A little pitiful, but arrogant.
Putting the egg on the ground, Li Xingyan gritted his teeth and walked to Baobao, wanting to pull its ears, but the little cub burrowed deeper.
"You horny monkey! Stop pretending to be weak when you're startled and taking the opportunity to get into someone's arms!"
Although this trick is effective, it is shameful!
If you keep doing this, I will...
I will imitate the monkey! I will surpass the monkey!
"Do you think you are a three-year-old child?" Li Xingyan whispered devilishly.
Baobao turned his head to look at him timidly: "No."
"Because... Bakugo is only half a year old."
Ever since they found Baobao, this scene of the monkey and the man bickering and showing off can be played out eight hundred times a day.
The young master was like a monkey in a fight.
Everyone has gone from being confused at the beginning to being used to it and watching the show with a smile.
Unexpectedly, this time, Yun Ti suddenly grabbed his collar and threw him to the side.
"You hit me for it..." Li Xingyan lay on the ground, looking back in a daze, his eyes full of hurt.
It seems that a palace fighting, bitter love drama is about to unfold.
The next second, there was a muffled "bang" sound.
The flames shot up into the sky, rising to the middle of the air in an instant, and the stars flew around wildly.
Right where Li Xingyan had just stood.
A group of people ran away screaming.
It turned out that the bonfire lit by the group of people exploded.
Some unlucky guys had their faces burnt black by the explosion, some couldn't stop coughing from the smoke and fire, and some had their bodies on fire and were pinned to the ground and trampled on by others.
Compared with their miserable situation, Li Xingyan became the lucky one.
Ye Xuan stared and walked forward to check.
Beneath the blackened roasted fish meat, there was a stone-like object.
The outer shell had been charred, revealing red metal blocks, and several pipes were twitching spasmodically in the flames.
"What's that smell..."
People around covered their noses.
A strong smell of tar pierced the smoke.
"...Bionic camera?"
Li Xingyan blinked.
This is a prop that is often used when shooting documentaries.
Place hidden cameras in simulated objects, such as stones, swimming fish, flowers, plants, and even walking penguins, to maximize the integration of the filming equipment into nature and avoid being noticed by the subjects.
Capture the most authentic and original appearance of the subject in an immersive state.
Most of the contestants present were hearing this statement for the first time and looked around suspiciously.
Sure enough, something unusual was found in a few fish that had not yet been grilled.
Its appearance and touch are exactly the same as those of a fish, and it can even struggle a few times in its death throes. However, when you cut open the fish's eyes, you can clearly see two miniature cameras installed.
"Damn, drones alone aren't enough, there are all these weird things monitoring our every move?"
"No wonder there seem to be fewer drones. I was wondering how they would film without cameras."
"Oh my god, I don't know what was captured on camera. What was being broadcast on the other end of the live stream..."
Everyone felt insecure for a moment, and even those who used to be outspoken became much more restrained at this moment.
But Li Xingyan was very happy.
She moved to Yun Ti's side like a young wife and stole a few glances at her. "So... were you afraid that I'd get blown up?"
Ma Yuming was stunned. "How can it be faster than the reaction speed of an explosion? Timei, how did you do it?"
Ming Jiaojiao and He Junzhuo gave him a look of surprise: "You just realized how powerful Ti Ti is?" "Sister Yun Ti is really good, stay calm."
Baobao also wagged his fluffy little tail and chirped a few times, "Mommy is so awesome! That's why I chose you right away!"
Banlie smiled but said nothing: Although this is a basic survival skill for us highly sensitive animals, my sister is the best among the top predators.
…
One by one, so annoying!
Li Xingyan, who was pushed out of the encirclement, couldn't even hear Yun Ti's voice.
He squatted alone by the fire and sulked.
The egg he placed on the ground rolled to a position less than half an arm's length away from the fire.
This can't be a camera, right?
Li Xingyan frowned guiltily.
Just now, I finally managed to outshine Ye Xuan and acted so cool in front of Ti Ti and everyone else. Don’t let it get to the point where I’m being fooled and can’t tell the difference between real and fake.
He picked up the milky white egg and poked it twice with his fingertips.
It's soft and a little different from the eggs we usually see in our daily life.
Just as I was about to turn it over, I suddenly felt a strange sensation in my palm, sticky and cool.
It's like something is about to break out of its shell.
Li Xingyan moved closer to the bonfire and looked closely at the flickering flames...
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
Snake!!!
–
Use a branch to pick out the baby snake that was almost roasted.
The whole body is black and shiny, and I don’t know if it looks like this originally or if it was roasted over charcoal.
Viewed from different angles, the tiny scales reflect a deep purple luster.
The legendary "colorful black".
If you ignore the fact that it is a snake, it is indeed a very beautiful and dazzling species.
Glancing at Li Xingyan, who was terrified, Yun Ti extended the branch over the fire and said, "Do you want more? If not, I'll roast it and eat it."
Feeling the heat, the already frightened baby snake coiled tightly around the branch.
"Don't... that's cruel." Ma Yuming interrupted weakly, "I heard that after a snake hatches, it will regard the first person it sees as its mother."
Although he looks like a big and strong man, he is actually a soft-hearted person at heart.
After hearing this, the other people with higher education fell to their knees, unable to say anything.
Ye Xuan smiled and explained, "Old Ma, what you're talking about is called imprinting behavior. It's commonly seen in birds and a few mammals. Snakes are reptiles, so there's no such thing as imprinting."
"Is that so? Well... maybe not."
He looked at the snake that had been crawling towards Li Xingyan, as if it had recognized its master.
Li Xingyan sensed something was wrong. "What the hell? Are you saying this long, black worm thinks I'm its mother?"
Is this right, kid?! I’m such a handsome, dashing, suave, and charming guy!
but……
On second thought, it is indeed difficult to start.
After all, he had picked it up himself, put it in his bag, and carried it all the way, and it was even "lucky" enough to be born in his hands. If you really think about it, it's not an exaggeration to say that he successfully "hatched" this snake.
Just like Baobao, we get along well.
etc!
To the monkey cub and the baby snake, he is the father and Titti is the mother, and they are a happy family who love each other!
Thinking of this, Li Xingyan's heart was filled with emotion.
He coughed lightly and waved his hand: "Then take it. It's a small life after all. We must protect nature and love animals!"
Baobao, who was hanging on the tree and didn't dare to get close, let out a sharp cry: "Tonic ah ah ah ah I'm so scared!"
"Okay, here you go."
After throwing the branch directly to Li Xingyan, Yun Ti walked towards Baobao.
The little monkey quickly climbed down the tree trunk, jumped into her arms, and rubbed her chin with its furry little head.
On the other side, facing the "flying snake", Li Xingyan wished he could jump two miles away.
The others also passed the buck to each other several times.
"Hey, you're welcome. Take it."
"No, no, you should keep it."
…
Gradually, the little black snake finally opened its eyelids.
The fire was burning fiercely right in front of me.
"I dare not open my eyes, I hope it's just an illusion..."
The moody Chaoxiong father, the cold-blooded mother who is as cruel as a tiger and eats its own cubs, the favored eldest son who makes things difficult for it and hates it, and a group of aunts and uncles who do not welcome its arrival. The only person who cares about it is just a lowly servant.
Little Black Snake: The beginning of a catastrophe! The pain of the original family that will take a lifetime to heal!
