Chapter 226: Addicted
Chu Qiao widened his eyes and quickly grabbed the small fish and shrimp from the net.
If you wait any longer, these small fish and shrimp will fall into the giant salamander's stomach.
Chu Qiao dug a half-meter-deep hole by the lake, brought the lake water in, and put fish and shrimp into the pit.
"We raise the fish and shrimp to ensure they are fresh. Otherwise, if we bring so many fish and shrimp ashore, they will die quickly. In such hot weather, they will all stink overnight."
She pulled the giant salamander out of the net.
This big guy immediately aroused Xiao Diao's interest.
I saw Xiao Diao opening his mouth wide and about to bite the giant salamander.
Chu Qiao picked up the fish beside him and stuffed it into Xiao Diao's mouth.
"This is not your food. If you eat it, I will be the one who gets arrested."
【Xiao Diao wants to send Master Chu in. 】
[Xiao Diao's idea is a bit dangerous.]
[Master Chu, it would be a waste if you don't eat the free meal.]
…
Chu Qiao rolled his eyes at the netizens who were just trying to watch the fun and waved Xiao Diao away.
She gently touched the giant salamander's body with her hand, and the giant salamander suddenly twisted its body vigorously, making a wailing sound from its mouth, which sounded very much like a baby crying.
Chu Qiao felt something wet on her hands. When she had just pulled the giant salamander out of the net, it was injured and left with a lot of yellow liquid. She thought it was polluted lake water.
But now looking at it again, although the lake water is turbid, it does not feel as slippery as jelly.
Chu Qiao looked at his hands, which were full of yellow pus and smelled foul.
She pressed the giant salamander's skin.
Wherever Chu Qiao touched, it sank. The giant salamander was swollen all over, with dense red patches and ulcers on its skin.
There are rice-sized pustules in the middle of the ulcer, as densely packed as needle tips.
Chu Qiao held on to the hand that was pulling, and frowned.
He spoke slowly, "This giant salamander isn't doing well. It's sick with what's probably a common red skin disease. The main cause is the poor water quality. It not only needs medication, but also a clean environment."
Chu Qiao looked around in embarrassment. There were mountains everywhere, and this was the only lake. However, due to stagnant water, it had turned into a stinking ditch due to long-term pollution and eutrophication.
Of course, fans also saw Chu Qiao's embarrassment and comforted him:
[Master Chu, human abilities are limited after all.]
[Master Chu, don't worry about it.]
[That’s right, you’re too busy to take care of yourself.]
[I don't have any medicine on hand. Why don't I wait until the mission is over to find it?]
Chu Qiao nodded. What the netizens said made sense. The giant salamander wasn't like when she first met Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan. They were both land creatures and very small at the time. She could carry them around, but this one-meter-long giant salamander...
Chu Qiao thought about it and patted the giant salamander's body apologetically: "I don't have the ability to save you now, but I won't ignore you, don't worry."
The giant salamander is still like a child, only making wa wa sounds.
Chu Qiao didn't put it in the water. It will naturally go down when it needs water.
She fished out two carp and three frogs from the puddle, which was enough for a meal for them, and returned to the camp.
The moon was high in the sky, and Chu Qiao's fatigue came back. She covered her head, and a feeling of dizziness rushed to her head.
With a shake of his body, Xiao Diao's figure flashed by, and Chu Qiao fell on Xiao Diao's soft back.
The fainting did not last long, and Chu Qiao slowly woke up.
Xiao Diao stayed beside her, looking worried.
Chu Qiao reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of the fish soup. An Xiao was worried. She went into the shelter and turned off the live broadcast room.
The calmness she had just forced herself to maintain disappeared, her hands began to tremble, and her body felt like hundreds of bugs were crawling on it.
Chu Qiao gritted her teeth. Although her body was in pain, her consciousness was still clear.
After tossing and turning for several nights in a row, she couldn't help but wonder if she had eaten something wrong.
Tea tree oil? No, it wouldn't be that strong.
Chu Qiao's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and little figures appeared in his mind, running among the roses.
Xiao Diao was outside the shelter, standing upright, with no intention of moving at all, like a soldier standing guard.
In the middle of the night, Chu Qiao was twitching, gasping loudly, and sweating profusely.
On the morning of the seventh day of the live broadcast, the first ray of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky. The light of the rising sun shone through the clouds onto Chu Qiao's body. Chu Qiao had been up all night and was feeling sleepy.
Along with the sunlight came the familiar scent of flowers. Chu Qiao, who was originally sleepy, sniffed.
Her fatigue from the night before seemed to have disappeared. Her forehead, which had been wrinkled all night, relaxed, and her pale face became a little rosy. The only thing that did not disappear was the dark circles under her eyes.
Xiao Diao was relieved when he saw that Chu Qiao was in much better spirits. He lay on the ground and lowered his head, which had been on guard all night.
Chu Qiao stood up. The fragrance became stronger and stronger. Chu Qiao frowned. His body had been feeling abnormal for several days. Even a dull person could feel that something was wrong.
Are there addictive and stimulating plants in this jungle?
Chu Qiao thought about it, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly spread. As far as he knew, there were many kinds of such plants, such as Qiaocha, a plant that could make people excited just by chewing its leaves.
Chu Qiao checked all the food she had eaten: mice, lotus root powder, fish. She hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and what she ate was different every day, but the symptoms were surprisingly regular.
Maybe it wasn't the food, so what was it? It couldn't be the air, could it?
Chu Qiao's eyes lit up. Air? How could it be impossible? The smell came with the wind. There are many plant smells that can make people excited, such as the smell of tea tree oil, musk, and mint.
Chu Qiao shook his head again. Even if the concentration of the above plants was high, they would not cause such severe addiction symptoms.
Thinking that this would happen again every night, and that there were still five days left, her body would be broken by the time the survival mission was completed, Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Diao who had no reaction.
"Xiao Diao, do you think it's the fragrance that brings the excitement?"
Xiao Diao hesitated and turned up his nose.
Chu Qiao immediately stood up. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to find the reason: "Xiao Diao, come with me to investigate again."
Xiao Diao immediately headed deep into the jungle to the north. Chu Qiao took the fish meat that had been roasted into dried fish and broke it in half.
He stuffed half into his mouth and threw the other half to Xiao Diao. "Next."
Xiao Diao opened his mouth and the fish meat fell accurately into Chu Qiao's mouth.
The two walked up the mountain. Xiao Diao didn't lower his head, and from time to time he smelled the scent of various plants around him.
Chu Qiao followed Xiao Diao and felt more and more familiar with the road. Wasn’t this the same road she took yesterday?
"Xiao Diao, are you sure? There are roses in front. I went there yesterday."
Xiao Diao didn't stop and continued to walk forward, faster and faster.
Xiao Diao had a low chest, so the thorns couldn't touch him, and with the protection of his fur, he could move quickly through the thorns.
Chu Qiao was powerless. Although she was excited at the moment, she had not been able to sleep for several days. Her body was very weak and she stumbled as she walked.
