It is getting late, and the new problem we face is where to camp.
If you are at the feet of this giant, surrounded by wet, Hessian, and windy winds, and you have just escaped from the encirclement of monsters and amoeba, you will always feel uneasy.
Climbing the Red Cliff to spend the night, not only takes a lot of trouble, but who knows what's on it
It's an open area, and if you run into those giant birds or other things, you don't need to sleep at all.
Moreover, the energy that can be obtained by eating those fish in the sea was used up early on the way to escape. Nowadays, there is no more food to eat, I am afraid that no one can climb on it.
In a completely unfamiliar environment, Zhang Ling was a little undecided. In the end, the three of us discussed together. After comprehensive consideration, we decided to camp at the feet of the giant first, figure out a way to get some food, and then climb the giant rock tomorrow morning.
After making a decision, everyone split up. Finding food and building a barracks are the top priorities. I will build a barracks. Zhang Ling and Big Eye are looking for food within a radius of 100 meters with the water pool as the center.
This time I set up a rock camp. Simply put, it is about ten meters above the ground. Between two rocks, a simple tent is built with branches. First, you must draw a rope between the two rocks, and then The rope is covered with a load-bearing tree trunk. As for the roof, it is very simple. Use branches with branches to build a triangle and fix it.
This kind of barracks can prevent the moisture on the ground, and also prevent the strange insects and other creatures that come suddenly. It can shelter from the wind and rain, not to mention the disasters such as rock slides above the head. It is built on the inner inclined cliff wall. Next, it couldn't be more appropriate.
Not long after we set up the rock camp, Zhang Ling and Dayan also came back, but they... actually dragged a strange bug!
This one and a half meter long, like a black beef tendon, is a boneless animal. The spikes on its back are still trembling slightly, obviously not completely dead.
I couldn't help pointing at it and saying, "You... how do you bring this guy back? What is this?"
"Dinner." Big Eye said.
"How to eat such a disgusting thing?"
Zhang Ling said: "But there is only this around and nothing else."
Big Eye said: "This swamp is full of this kind of insects. We think they can be eaten and they are not poisonous."
I said: "Could it be...
Is there really no other creatures? Plants are fine too! "
Zhang Ling repeated: "No, only this! In fact, this is a very strange life form, that kind of sputum form, it is probably the larva of this kind of strange insect, maybe it is not completely abnormal. They are soaked in the swamp during the day. Here, it is estimated that life in the form of sputum is used as food.
In order to preserve the race, the monster has evolved the function of climbing trees. When reproducing, it sprays its own larvae like spitting, uses the deformed pseudopod and light body to climb the tree, and grow on the trunk until its body weight is greater than the adsorption capacity. Then it floats down like leaves and continues to grow in the swamp.
That unique smell is probably a protection measure for larvae. Judging from the number of things I saw at the beginning, I'm afraid there are only this kind of insects in the swamps in this area.
Since their larvae do not harm our body and they can be eaten, I judge that this mollusk can be eaten. "
I resolutely shook my head and said: "No! I will not eat, I will definitely not eat! If you want to eat, you eat."
Big eyes patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's actually not that scary! It's just a weird look, maybe the meat is good! You close your eyes and imagine that it is a clam or a snail, isn't it all right? You? Just treat it as a dark dish."
"Get out! You found this thing, and if you want to eat it, you must eat it first!"
Wash the strange bugs, cut them into sections and roast them on the fire, it really smells meaty and sultry. But looking at this weird guy, thinking of the yellow-green pus spit out of his mouth, how to put it down
Is this really edible
Zhang Ling suddenly stretched out his hand to Big Eye and said, "Let's eat."
Big eyes stretched out his hand and said, "You eat first."
It seems that although the two of them said that they could eat, they didn't have much in their hearts.
Zhang Ling said: "It's all your credit to catch this bug, so you eat it first."
Big Eye shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, ladies first, just like taking a bath."
I said, "What are you doing? What about the code!"
The two of them no longer let them come and go, but looked at me together, and after a while they said with big eyes: "Anzi, you built the barracks, you are the most tired, the most meritorious, and you are rewarded by merit, so you should eat first. "
I said: "Fuck you! You eat first!"
"Eat and eat! What are you afraid of!
"
He squatted up with a big-eyed "whoop", his eyes fixed on the worm, and his hands tightly held the handle of the knife. We all thought that he was going to do his hands, but he just shook his hand, then slowly let go, and sat back cross-legged like an old monk.
Zhang Ling said, "Chen An, Big Eyes, are you men? Don't you just eat something, as for such grind!"
I said together with Big Eye: "We are not men, you eat first!"
Zhang Ling snorted and said, "It's all counseling, eat it!"
Zhang Ling used a knife to insert a piece of the torso of a jelly-like monster that had been scorched, and the meat on the tip of the knife was getting closer and closer to the mouth. Finally, the meat was put into the mouth, like biting a nail, up and down. The teeth closed, took a little bit away, and then began to grind slowly.
Big Eyes and I stared at Zhang Ling’s facial expressions. Zhang Ling’s face was tight. After a while, he slapped his lips, frowned, and then removed all the meat left on the tip of the knife. Putting it in the mouth, chewing and frowning, it seemed difficult to swallow. It made us both startled and terrified, for fear of her sudden death.
At the same time, I also secretly gave her a thumbs up in my heart, cow! This girl is really a man!
After a while, Zhang Ling took a knife and cut a piece of meat from the body of the strange insect, put it on the fire and roasted it, but his brows became tighter. We didn’t know what to do, and finally, Big Eyes couldn’t help asking: "Zhang Ling, how does it taste? You just said something!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Ling's brows gradually stretched out, revealing a sly smile.
"You can eat it!" I asked.
"Of course it can be eaten, and it tastes good!"
Now that someone took the lead, Dayan and I were naturally less concerned, and we were indeed panicked with hunger, so Dayan and I cut a section of each and started roasting on the fire.
The meat of the strange insect is smooth and tasteful. The outer layer is charred and has the strength of fried steak, and the inner layer has the softness of fish lips. In addition, we have been in a half-starved state. The strange insect immediately draws with the food It's on the equal sign.
It is said that people are not good-looking, and the sea water is not enough. I didn't expect this to be a reason to eat. In fact, it doesn't matter if you think about it. Didn't people eat pig intestines? This thing looks disgusting and hard to swallow, but it tastes delicious!
Weird insects are simply delicious dark dishes!
