Rebirth: Wild Survival

"哧~~~" There was a dull blunt sound when the fingertips slid across the bark, and the sharp nails easily peeled off a whole piece of bark, and there was no sense of stagnation in the whole process.

Retracting the slightly long nails, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Luo's eyes, he bent over and picked up the thick 'bark' that had been cut off at his feet, and turned away with a pile of wood of different sizes.

Behind him, on the tall giant tree, several neat cut surfaces were clearly discernible, without the obstruction of the bark, the snow-white core inside the giant tree was exposed.I saw that the inner core is very soft, at first glance, it looks like a piece of delicious white bread.

Looking up along the thick branches, there is no leaf on the broad tree crown, and the bare branches can't block the dense sunlight. The gorgeous light and shadow are scattered to the open space under the tree along the gaps between the branches, forming a beautiful scenery. There was a strangely shaped tree shadow.

Looking back from the shadow of the tree back to the giant tree, I saw that the hard bark grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it completely wrapped the soft and tender inner core that was originally exposed to the air. Only then did the crazy growth stop.

The original regular section was roughly filled in, and an ugly scar appeared on the smooth bark.

This change was silent, and the jungle was still quiet, except for the soft rustling of the wind blowing the thin leaves, there was no other sound.

Su Luo carried the 'bark' and dry firewood into a temporary camp in the dense forest, and saw the giant wolf and the little bobcats waiting there, the smell of barbecue wafted in the air, and the little fat cats surrounded Watching the giant wolf keep spinning around, barking extremely obsequiously, the giant wolf quietly turned the grill at hand, turning a blind eye to the fawning kittens around him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Luo smiled unconsciously, threw the bark on the ground casually, and walked forward.

Seeing Su Luo coming, the little chubby cat seemed to have found a new target. His eyes lit up, and he ran to his side quickly, meowing non-stop. Su Luo patted his head in a funny way, and took it out from the giant wolf. The two dark gray stones turned around and walked to the pile of dry firewood that he threw aside, and swept the 'bark' aside. Su Luo piled the dry firewood of different sizes into a pile.

Dividing them easily into equal-shaped wooden strips, Su Luo laid the thicker ones horizontally, and put a few thinner ones on them, and then took out the gray stone, and tapped it lightly against the leeward wind.

After a while, a light blue flame appeared on the stone, igniting the wooden sticks piled up beside him. Su Luo carefully separated the two gray stones and held them in his hand until the blue flame gradually faded away. The dimness disappeared before they were placed on the ground.

Carefully wiping off the light gray stone powder on his hands, Su Luo couldn't help but sigh with emotion that the source of fire he was looking for was so easy to come by.Just like the stones he used just now, they were distributed in large quantities in the deep swamp not far from the bobcat colony.

This kind of stone is called scale stone, with magnificent markings similar to fish scales on the surface, it is a very common flint and steel.

There are distributions in the deep swamps of various jungles.

Most of them appear in piles in the soft mud. In relatively dry weather, piles of scale stones will spontaneously ignite, bursting out a faint light blue flame, which looks very strange from a distance.

Gather them, wipe off the ooze, and let them air dry to use as flint and steel.

This kind of scale stone is widely distributed and easy to collect, but its disadvantages are also obvious. First, it is too easy to ignite and it is dangerous, and second, it cannot be used once it gets wet. Keep them out of the damp and prevent them from being found by some playful cub and causing any accidents.

After igniting the bonfire, Su Luo wiped off the stone powder on his hands, and was about to get up, when he looked up, he saw the little chubby cat clumsily dragging the corpse of a large animal towards Su Luo.

Su Luo took a closer look and saw that what the other party dragged over was the prey he had caught today.

Seeing the little chubby cat's movements, Su Luo simply leaned over and sat down again.The old god was waiting for the little chubby cat to drag the prey closer to him.

Looking at the prey piled up to his feet, Su Luo patted the little chubby cat's head to express his gratitude, and shook off Su Luo's hand on his head. Su Luo was very dissatisfied with the behavior of always patting his head.

After chuckling a few times, Su Luo turned his gaze back to the prey - a 'bloodthirsty antelope' that had been dead for a long time.

Looking at the dead antelope lying quietly at his feet, Su Luo's eyes were calm. He couldn't remember which antelope he had captured, and naturally he didn't have the sense of accomplishment he had at the beginning.

Bringing the corpse to the front, Su Luo skillfully peeled off the antelope's skin with his fingertips, completely opened the half-open abdominal cavity, and removed the dark red internal organs.

Su Luo's eyes were focused and patient. When he touched a fragile sac under the diaphragm, Su Luo's movements became more careful, and he carefully peeled off the sac. With a little force, Su Luo threw it far away. to the side.

The sac was easily broken in the air, and all the black blood inside flowed out. A bush covered in black blood seemed to be stained with some corrosive substance, and immediately turned black and wilted.

All the internal organs of the bloodthirsty antelope are inedible, and a blood storage sac under the diaphragm is highly poisonous, so you must be very careful. This is what Su Luo learned from Julang Seabuckthorn when he was learning to split his prey. to the first lesson.

After the internal organs were completely removed, Su Luo's speed was much faster, and he skillfully disassembled the antelope's carcass into several pieces. Su Luo did not skewer the meat pieces to roast like a giant wolf, but sliced ​​the large pieces into pieces. Some of the fresh meat was distributed to the little chubby cat who was waiting by the side.

Seeing this, the little chubby cat pulled its pricked ears down, let out a disappointed meow, and dragged the piece of meat away sullenly. After a while, there was a burst of disappointed complaints from the poaching team.

Su Luo knew that the little chubby cats were disappointed because they couldn't eat barbecue, but he didn't plan to spoil them. Grilling such a large piece of meat on a skewer is already troublesome, and Su Luo's small body now requires more It takes some effort, and the spices have to be found by themselves.

After Su Luo learned from seabuckthorn only once, he never wanted to do this thankless task again. Usually, when distributing food, he would only distribute raw food to the little fat cat. All good people are not lost.

After dismissing the little chubby cat, Su Luo began to solve his own eating problem, picked up a piece of 'bark' with a tender white inner core, Su Luo put it on the fire to roast, the bark was miraculously not ignited, and It is gradually bent and deformed by burning.

I saw that after the 'bark' was baked for a while, the extension gradually turned up, and the bottom was sunken inwards, finally forming an irregular 'bowl' shape. It fell off and turned into a sticky paste.

During this period, Su Luo kept adding water to it, and when the paste became thinner, he peeled off the white cores from other bark and threw them into the 'bowl'. Cut the meat on hand into strips and throw them in.

Seeing that the broth was about to be finished, Su Luo showed a little bit of satisfaction.

This strange kind of bark with a soft core is called Dianmu, and the milky white core inside can be eaten after being cooked, but the taste is bland, but Su Luo likes to use it to stew soup with meat.

It is also the only edible plant product that giant wolves have found in this area so far, while other fruits with beautiful shapes that grow around the colony are inedible for various reasons.

This is the information Su Luo got after he was able to communicate with the giant wolf.

Thinking of the self in the past, because of hunger, he almost stuffed those delicious-looking fruits into his mouth several times, and Su Luo couldn't help feeling scared.

The broth cooked with oyster wood tastes light and refreshing, and Su Luo likes it very much. However, the chubby cats are obviously not used to this sticky food. Seeing Su Luo drinking the soup comfortably, most of them watch it from a distance. He was unwilling to step forward and try easily.

After taking a sip of the hot soup, Su Luo narrowed his eyes comfortably.Suddenly, he felt that there was someone more beside him, and in the blink of an eye, it turned out to be a giant wolf who didn't know when he had finished his lunch.

Looking at the puzzled Su Luo, the giant wolf picked up a bunch of bright yellow fruits and handed them to Su Luo.

Holding the bunch of extremely bright fruits in his hand, Su Luo couldn't help looking at the giant wolf in doubt.

"Can I eat it?" Su Luo asked suspiciously.

After getting the affirmative answer from the giant wolf, Su Luo couldn't help but focus on this extremely delicious fruit, with a little more interest in his eyes.

The fruit is about the size of a thumb, each round and plump, and looks very appetizing.Su Luo has already begun to imagine the sweet and sour taste of this fruit.

But only looking at the fruit in his hand, Su Luo missed the mischievous smile on the giant wolf's face.
