Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger

Chapter 301
Soon, Xu Yi and Lu Ke found a mountain deer.

There was no suspense, Lu Ke directly used the short crossbow to get it done, and after catching it, he dragged it to the water's edge and threw it into the river.

The mountain deer has been struggling and thrashing in the river.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke followed along the bank, and the mountain deer stopped struggling after flowing for more than 200 meters.

During this process, no crocodile appeared.

You must know that the mountain deer is bleeding non-stop during the struggle, which should be quite attractive to crocodiles.

But there was no movement at all, which was very abnormal.

The two continued to follow, after all, they also needed to return to the resting place of Juha and the reindeer.

"It seems that there are really no crocodiles in this river." Xu Yi said helplessly, it is really not so easy to eat crocodile meat.

"Maybe it's because of the blizzard. They may have migrated." Lu Ke thought that those crocodiles must not have been frozen to death. If they were frozen to death, at least there were corpses, right?
However, there is no trace at all.

"Forget it, we have nothing to do with this crocodile meat. I'll go and fetch the mountain deer's body, and I'll eat it at noon." After saying that, Xu Yi was going to go down and fetch the body back.

At this time, a black shadow appeared in the sky.

"Giant Emu." Lu Ke pointed to the sky, and then raised his spear.

With the spear, she can directly attack the giant forest emu, instead of running to the jungle to hide.

Not enough, the target of the giant forest emu is not Xu Yi and Lu Ke, but the deer in the water.

Its sharp claws clasped the body of the mountain deer, and flew away with the body of the mountain deer.

Xu Yi raised his middle finger at the giant forest emu, but did not attack with a hunting bow, because the giant forest emu moved very quickly.

If he hadn't hit the nail on the head, the giant emu wouldn't have fallen right away.

There are no points for dying elsewhere.Therefore, there is no need to shoot.

"Xu Yi, are you saying that the crocodiles were frozen, and then they were all captured by the giant forest emu?" Lu Ke looked at the giant forest emu in the distance, and couldn't help thinking of sending it.

After all, in such a big snowstorm, it should be normal to freeze the crocodile to death, right?
Xu Yi nodded, not excluding this possibility.

These giant forest emus are estimated to survive on this river, and maybe they really did it.After all, crocodiles are creatures that are very afraid of cold, and most of them live in temperate and tropical regions.

"Let's go back and eat the jerky." Xu Yi looked away. Their big meal was gone, so they could only eat some jerky.

Back to Juha and the reindeer, Juha was lying on the ground, and the reindeer was grazing.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke ate some dried meat, and then rode their horses up the river.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke didn't know what the upstream was like, but they still had time, so they went to see the situation, and they might not be sure what they would gain.

All the way along the river bank, the two drove their mounts forward.

Suddenly, Xu Yi stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ke turned his head and returned to Xu Yi's side, because Xu Yi had rolled over.

"Pepper, these are pepper." Xu Yi said excitedly, thinking he saw a small piece of pepper.

"Ah, these are peppers, the kind of black pepper pepper, that's a good thing!" Lu Ke's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped off his back.

"Yes, these peppers are still green, which means they are not ripe yet, and they will be black peppers when they are dried." As he spoke, Xu Yi picked a few peppers, put them in his mouth and bit them to confirm the taste.

Yes, it is indeed pepper, a very important seasoning.

"What about white pepper?" Lu Ke asked curiously. She knew that there were two kinds of black pepper and white pepper, but she didn't know the difference between them besides the color.

"White pepper is when the outer skin of the pepper turns red and is completely ripe. Then the skin is removed and dried in the sun. It is white pepper." Xu Yi explained, and then began to pick these peppers.

"It turned out to be like this, and I learned it again." After speaking, Lu Ke smiled sweetly, and picked the peppers together with Xu Yi.

All the peppers together weighed more than thirty catties, which was a big gain for Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

After all, if you use points to exchange, a small bottle of black pepper will cost 5 points.

So many are worth hundreds of points.

After picking the peppers, Xu Yi and Lu Ke went back with their points. After all, it was past three o'clock and it was time to go back.

"Xu Yi, the one over there seems to be a tomato?" After speaking, Lu Ke ran over on his Juha.

Then, I heard Lu Ke shout excitedly: "Xu Yi, it's a tomato, it's really a tomato."

"It seems that today is our lucky day. We not only got peppers, but also tomatoes." Xu Yi said happily, and then jumped off the reindeer's back.

Lu Ke had already picked a few red tomatoes and showed off with Xu Yi.

Xu Yi took a glance and found that there were thirty tomato plants, each with seven or eight fruits hanging on them, and half of them were ripe.

So Xu Yi and Lu Ke picked all the ripe tomatoes.

There are a total of more than 40 catties of tomatoes. It is okay to eat them for a few days. They can be made into tomato sauce, so that they can be stored for a longer time.

"Xu Yi and Lu Ke were really lucky today. Besides pepper, they found tomatoes. It would be perfect if they picked up some eggs. Let's make scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"Luck is indeed good, but I expect them to encounter crocodiles."

"The crocodile must have been frozen to death and then taken away by the giant forest emu."

"It's about an hour before we go back. What do you think Xu Yi and Lu Ke will encounter?"

"Are you going to let them inherit the title of koi?"

"It seems that those who are qualified to become koi have been eliminated, so you should stop cursing Xu Yi and Lu Ke."

Xu Yi and Lu Ke controlled their speed for the rest of the time, and their eyes kept scanning back and forth.

After all, the acquisition of pepper and tomato made Xu Yi and Lu Ke feel that there were still many treasures hidden in the forest, which they might not have discovered before.

However, until they returned to camp, they found nothing else.

When we got back to the camp, it was still dark.

Xu Yi originally wanted to hunt a rabbit nearby to cook dinner, but after looking around, he didn't find any sign of the rabbit.

Speaking of which, when they went out today, they rarely encountered animals.

I don't know if the blizzard was too big, making those animals huddled in their dens, not daring to come out.

So, at night, Xu Yi and Lu Ke took tomatoes and cooked soup, which was served with potatoes and jerky.

Halfway through dinner, Xu Yi and Lu Ke heard a cry.

It sounded like the cry of a goat.
