Rebirth of the Great Ape King

Chapter 4 Grilled Fish

The golden sun gradually sets, the temperature is not as hot as noon, and the jungle feels a little cooler. Ye Xun, who had recovered from his loss of strength, was walking in the leaf-covered jungle with a spear in his hand. His ears stood up, alert to the movements around him. The place he wants to go now is the waterfall where the vine net is set up to see if there are any fish that have thrown themselves into the net.

"I hope I can gain something..." Ye Xun kept praying in his heart on the way. He practiced too much today and ate a whole one-horned deer, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about food for the past two days. Fortunately, his body has fully recovered, which is an unexpected gain.

After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Ye Xun walked around the bushes in front and saw the small waterfall. The rushing water rushed down, covering up the nearby sounds. Ye Xun carefully observed for a moment, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked over.

Still some distance away, Ye Xun saw something struggling in the vine net, causing a splash of water. I felt happy that I had really gained something, so I accelerated my pace a little bit.

When Ye Xun got closer, he found a big fish jumping in the vine net, and the stones pressing on the vine net were shaking constantly. Seeing that the big fish was about to pull away the stone and escape, Ye Xun quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the big fish's gills.

"Fortunately, I came in time, I almost let you run away..." Ye Xun secretly thought of luck, lifted the fish and hung it on his spear. Then he took off the vine around his shoulders, tied it to the vine net, and tied the other end to the nearest tree. In this way, as long as the vine net is not broken, the fish caught in the net will not be able to escape even if the sky is broken.

After reinforcing the vine net, Ye Xun looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then put the spear with the big fish on his shoulder and left here.

When Ye Xuan arrived at Shitai, the sun was about to set below the horizon, and the surrounding light was a little dim. Ye Xun took the big fish off the spear and hung it on the stone wall. He leaned over and threw down the tied vines. Then Ye Xun took the spear and climbed down the vines on the stone wall. He was going to go to the jungle to pick up some dead branches and come back with a cooked meal tonight.

Then Ye Xun entered the jungle. The light was already dim at this time, and he could only barely see the branches on the ground. Ye Xun carried the spears and kept picking them up, neatly stacking them together so that they would be easier to bundle up and take away when he went back later.

About half an hour later, the sun completely set behind the horizon, and it was already very dark in the jungle. Ye Xun then dragged the stacked dead branches to the bottom of the stone platform and tied them with the vines he threw down.

After climbing up the stone platform, Ye Xun put down the spear with its tail wrapped around it, and then slowly pulled up the dead branches tied under the stone platform. Fortunately, Ye Xun's body seemed very thin, but his arms were quite strong. The bundle of about fifty kilograms of dead branches was pulled up in a few strokes.

After sitting on the stone platform and resting for a while, Ye Xun took out two dead branches, stepped on one of them and fixed it, and held the other one on top with his clasped hands. Then Ye Xun kept rubbing his hands back and forth, the wooden stick began to rotate, and the temperature of the place where the two pieces of wood came into contact gradually increased.

Finally, with Ye Xun's unremitting efforts, a faint spark appeared in the thick smoke. Ye Xun quickly picked up the wooden stick, shook the sparks onto the prepared grass clippings, held them up with both hands, and blew gently with his mouth. When the sparks came into contact with the grass clippings, they caused a puff of smoke. As Ye Xun continued to blow, an orange-red flame appeared in his hand.

Ye Xun quickly placed the flame on the ground and placed some dead leaves and twigs on top. After a while, the flames grew bigger and bigger, and then he added some thicker branches.

After the fire stabilized, Ye Xun took the big fish off the mountain wall and without handling it, he just put a branch through his mouth and put it on the fire to roast.

The heat from the bonfire made Ye Xun feel much warmer, and then he remembered that he still had a piece of deerskin. He simply used stones to lift up the big fish, then stood up and took the deer skin beside him, and began to use stones to grind off the fat and minced meat on the deer skin.

Soon, the minced meat and fat on the deer skin were rubbed away by Ye Xun with stones, and the hard texture became much softer. Then Ye Xun took out the bone dagger, cut the deer skin into two pieces, and modified it slightly with the dagger. Looking at his masterpiece, Ye Xun nodded with satisfaction. Then he put on his deerskin coat and immediately felt a lot warmer.

In order to see what he looked like, Ye Xun used his mental power to do a full-body scan, and saw that he was wearing a high-waisted red mantle on his upper body and a short crotchless skirt on his lower body. As soon as the wind blew by, I instantly felt it was chilly down there, which made me feel like I was squeezing my balls. In fact, this was not Ye Xun's fault, but that the one-horned deer was underage, too small, and its fur was enough to cover Ye Xun's appearance.

Then Ye Xun moved his hands and feet on the stone platform, and felt that it was not in the way. Then he sat down and turned over his grilled fish.

The bonfire was burning cracklingly, and the grilled fish was already emitting an alluring aroma. Ye Xun swallowed and picked a fruit from the fruit tree to satisfy his craving.

Several saber-toothed cats looked at Ye Xun in the distance, and some curious animals also walked towards this side. This was the first time they saw bright lights flickering in the jungle at night.

A tempting fragrance spread everywhere, and the saber-toothed cat carefully came under the stone platform where Ye Xun was. He tilted his head and wondered why it was so bright up there and had an alluring fragrance.

"Roar……"

The saber-toothed cat roared, attracting Ye Xun's attention, and turned to look under the stone platform. Ye Xun found two cats slightly smaller than tigers there, with two tusks exposed in the air. "Saber-toothed tiger?" Ye Xun was confused, but then immediately denied it, because that creature became extinct a long time ago. Putting aside this, the size of the saber-toothed tiger was not just that.

Since it couldn't be a saber-toothed tiger, Ye Xun named this creature saber-toothed cat. It was as flexible as a cat and had two large sharp tusks, so in Ye Xun's opinion, this name was very appropriate.

At this time, the grilled fish was almost cooked, and Ye Xun was no longer paying attention to the saber-toothed cat under the stone platform. He picked up the grilled fish and placed it on a stone. He used a white bone dagger to gently open the scales of the grilled fish. Suddenly, a rich meaty aroma rushed into his nostrils.

Unable to bear it, Ye Xun pulled off a piece of grilled and somewhat dry fish and put it into his mouth. For him, who had been eating raw meat for two days, this grilled fish undoubtedly became a delicacy in the world. Ignoring the question of whether to boil it or not, he directly grabbed the grilled fish with both hands and swallowed it in big mouthfuls. Fortunately, this big fish has no small spines, otherwise the way he eats it would have been stuck by the spines.

After feasting for a while, the big fish in Ye Xun's hand had been chewed up until only the internal organs and skeleton were left. As for the fish head, he naturally didn't let it go and sucked up the essence inside.

After burping, Ye Xun looked at the two saber-toothed cats under the mountain wall, and threw the residue in his hand down, which saved him the trouble of dealing with it.

After the fish bones fell to the ground, the two saber-toothed cats were startled. One of them sniffed the fish bones curiously, opened its mouth and started eating. At this time, the other one also came up, and the two saber-toothed cats devoured the fish bones and internal organs that Ye Xun had thrown down.

After finishing eating, the two saber-toothed cats still looked like they were still unsatisfied. They roared towards the platform where Ye Xun was sitting, as if they were telling him to throw some down.

Ye Xun naturally ignored them. After throwing a stone down, he picked up firewood and added it to the bonfire. He entered the cave with a spear and prepared to sleep.

When the stone fell to the ground, the two saber-toothed cats thought it was food that had fallen down again, and hurriedly flew towards it. When they pounced on the stone, they discovered that it was just a stone. They couldn't figure out in their heads how the delicious food turned into stone. After a long time, Ye Xun fell asleep. The two saber-toothed cats roared under the stone platform and disappeared into the jungle.
