Bamboo rats are a delicacy that has always been popular all over the country. In addition, because bamboo rats are not easy to raise, the number of wild ones is very small, and the price has always remained high. The dead bamboo rat that Banban held down had no chance to escape. Ling Qing looked at its embarrassed appearance and bent over and laughed.

Chen Yu started to investigate nearby to see if there were any other bamboo rats. After all, these little creatures were very hard to find.

Sure enough, after Chen Yu walked around the area, he found three or four fat little bamboo rats.

The two big bucktooths were still chewing on a piece of green bamboo, not noticing that Chen Yu had quietly come behind them.

The four little guys gathered together, surrounded a broken emerald green bamboo, and kept gnawing on it.

These bamboo rats were very brave. They obviously did not move at all after hearing Chen Yu's footsteps, and continued to eat. Chen Yu shook his head. Facing such animals that were willing to eat at the expense of their lives, he was helpless. Each of these bamboo rats weighed about two or three pounds, and was obviously an adult.

Because it is expensive in the outside world, even Chen Yu has never eaten bamboo rat meat. Although many farmers have started to raise it at home in modern times, the huge market is still in short supply.

Bamboo rats are not only delicious, but their fur is also extremely valuable.

Especially the wild bamboo rat, which is so rare in my country that there are only three per kilometer on average. Leather shoes made of bamboo rat skin can be sold for about 3,000 yuan per pair in the market.

The most expensive is bamboo rat whiskers, which are usually used to make high-end brushes in the market. They are exported to various countries outside China, and the market demand is huge, with a price of about 4 per kilogram. In addition, bamboo rat meat has high nutritional value and is rich in various trace elements needed by the human body.

The meat is tender and the skin is thick and crispy. It is popular among countless gourmets and is a famous dish on the table. Chen Yu reached out and picked up a fat bamboo rat on the ground, lifted the fur on the back of its neck, and put it on his palm. The little thing was still unaware when Chen Yu picked it up, and still held the green bamboo pole in his hand and kept biting it.

You can tell at first glance that these little guys are foodies, and the numerous bamboo houses on the island provide them with natural shelter.

The favorable climate and superior environment mean that they have no natural enemies. However, due to their own characteristics, their population is not large.

This is why Chen Yu and Ling Qing only found these seven or eight little bamboo rats on this small piece of land. Chen Yu shook his head, caught both pairs of little bamboo rats on the ground, and brought them back to where Banban was.

When Chen Yu came over, Ling Qing and Ban Ban had already caught the little bamboo rat on the ground and were playing with it. "Look what I caught?"

Chen Yu held two little bamboo rats in each hand and walked leisurely to them and put them down.

"Wow, you caught four more?"

Ling Qing didn't expect that there were so many bamboo rats in this area. He jumped for joy.

After being in the outside world for so long, Ling Qing obviously knew the value of bamboo rats, especially wild bamboo rats, which could not be caught at all. After handing over the four bamboo rats in his hands to Ling Qing and Ban Ban for care, Chen Yu once again went deep into the bamboo house.

Since there are so many bamboo rats in the bamboo house in front, there must be a large number of bamboo rats deeper in the bamboo house.

After all, this kind of thing has an amazing reproduction rate and a very fast reproduction rate. Generally, it can give birth to a baby in about two months. There are about one to six babies each time. However, bamboo rats have very high requirements for the environment. Because they like to eat bamboo, their living environment is limited to the vicinity of bamboo houses. Moreover, they are resistant to low temperatures but not high temperatures, which means that they are not seen in general plains or basins. However, the most shocking thing is not this, but that they will bite their own children to death and eat them. Bamboo rats living in the wild will be subject to certain restrictions due to environmental restrictions.

The female bamboo rat will bite her own children to death and eat them due to lack of nutrition, water and food.

Sometimes, the baby bamboo rat may even die because the baby bamboo rat does not have enough milk or hurts the mother bamboo rat when sucking milk. Although it is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, this does not apply to bamboo rats. Chen Yu thought as he walked deeper into the bamboo garden.

This entire bamboo forest is very suitable for bamboo rats to survive, and there are no natural enemies, so they can move around without restraint. The deeper he went, the more traces of bamboo rats he found.

The ground covered with bamboo leaves was dotted with small holes, and every few meters, you could find bamboos that had fallen to the ground and were bitten into pieces. Chen Yu searched for these traces and found another group of bamboo rats not far away.

There are a total of six bamboo rats in this group, two of which are obviously a couple, because next to them are four little bamboo rats, circling around their parents.

Chen Yu ignored the family, smiled, and continued walking forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Yu found a large hole about half a meter in diameter on the ground. There was a rustling sound inside the hole. He didn't know if this hole was a nest made by these bamboo rats, after all, it didn't look like it.

Moreover, the holes dug by these little bamboo rats were about the same size as their bodies, and such large holes were obviously not suitable for them to live in. Chen Yu was a little curious, so he casually broke off a bamboo pole and held it in his hand, squatting at the entrance of the hole and looking inside.

"laugh!"

Just as Chen Yu tilted his head and looked towards the cave entrance, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and hit Chen Yu in the face.

Seeing that the shadow was about to hit Chen Yu in the face, Chen Yu immediately dodged and stepped back, and at the same time, he quickly attacked the shadow with the bamboo pole in his hand. The shadow was immediately slapped several meters away by Chen Yu, and after falling to the ground, it quickly moved over and hissed at Chen Yu.

Only then did Chen Yu have time to look. It turned out that the black shadow was a thick python. It was about seven or eight meters long, with very sharp eyes, looking at Chen Yu threateningly.

The hole of more than 50 centimeters is the residence of this guy. Chen Yu has never seen this kind of python before. It is so large and rare in Yu Yu. Moreover, there seem to be very few snakes on this island. Chen Yu and Ling Qing have been on the island for more than two months and have only seen snakes two or three times occasionally.

But this snake has obviously been around for quite some time, and judging by its bulging belly, it must have been eating the bamboo rats in the bamboo hut.

No wonder it grows so big. There are very few snakes on the deserted island, so there are few natural enemies. If there is sufficient food, a snake can grow a lot in size after molting many times.

The snake was obviously very old, with yellow spots on its scales, sharp edges and two small bumps on its head. "Oh my god, this is a sign that you are about to become a spirit!"
