Chapter 5 Looking for Food(1/2)

 After ensuring that the fire would not go out for a short time, Li Ziqi walked towards the tree hole.

My biggest hope is to have some yams or grass fruits, and even better if there are strawberries.

That smell makes me drool just thinking about it.

But when they came to the tree hole, there was no fruit at all, and there were only two slender paw prints.

Li Ziqi suddenly felt a little more energetic, but after careful observation, he felt relieved again.

The distance between the claw marks is quite limited, and the visual inspection should be that of a squirrel.

The tree hole is extremely deep. How can we let go of the only food source found so far? The tool changes into a fishhook and slowly sinks to the bottom of the hole.

I just gave it a try, but I never thought that the hook was swinging underneath vaguely like it had intelligence. This should be the divine power carried by the tool. If I fish now, I might be able to actively hook the fish's mouth.

It's a pity that there is no pond-like place in the forest.

While the tool was shaking, it vaguely hooked onto something, and when I picked it up gently, there were actually two walnut-sized green dates at the end of the hook.

Jujubes are bright green and about the size of walnuts.

Li Ziqi was so hungry and thirsty that he almost stuffed two green dates into his mouth. With the sound of chewing, green juice splashed freely in his mouth.

It's a bit sour, but it's mostly due to the sweetness and fragrance it carries. Just taking a sip of the jujube juice, my eyes were so bright that they almost started to shine.

It seems to have the magical effect of increasing eyesight.

There are many legends about apricots in the clouds and ginseng fruits in the Xianxia drama. Now that I think about it, even those delicious foods cannot compare to these two green dates.

The only regret is that there were too few. After eating two pills, I became even hungrier.

Li Ziqi licked the lingering fragrance on his lips while continuing to put the hook into the tree hole.

It would be great if we could catch some more fruits.

Ji!

Suddenly there was a scream, like a mouse having its tail stepped on. Before Li Ziqi could react, a numbness exploded in the palm of his hand. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and saw the hook fall into the hole.

But it frightened Li Ziqi, which was the basis for his survival here.

Without tools, I would freeze to death at night.

The other hand hurriedly grabbed the end of the rope, and although it was numb, he still snatched it back alive.

"There won't be high-voltage electricity here."

Thinking about what I felt just now, I was very frightened. The moment the electric current exploded in the palm of my hand, if the inexplicable air flow in my body hadn't flowed into the palm of my hand, my hand would have been useless even if it didn't die.

At this time, looking at the entrance of the cave, I understood to some extent that this was a land owned by an owner. It was still early and Qing Zao had a lot of energy in his belly, so there was no need to push too far.

This place can only be used as a temporary food storage point, but it can still save lives as a last resort.

Come down from the tree and simply sort out the direction under your feet. If you can't identify the direction at all, you can only determine the direction yourself with the well as the center.

The area to be explored for the first time is due east.

This time, we will explore the opposite west direction. If we have enough time, we will also briefly explore the north and south sides to understand the surrounding plant structure.

The scythe slashes at the vines, but each time they are counterattacked by the hard vines. When the dark sun appears, these vines will be broken like tofu.

Bundle it up and weave some ropes in your spare time.

If you have enough time, you can also weave a rattan mattress.

You can't lie down on the mound and sleep all the time.

No matter what it is, for Li Ziqi, it only exists in imagination.

He won't do anything until he has something to eat.

The trees are towering, and the vines are intertwined. From time to time, you can see collapsed tree trunks. The bark is old and heavy. If you tap it a few times, it will make a crisp sound. It is a good material for making fire.

Due to isolation from the world, these trees still maintain their original collapsed appearance. Green seedlings sprouted from some tree trunks and are growing vigorously, which is quite like the spring of dead trees.

Although it is called a sapling, its height and width are comparable to the poplar trees of the previous life. They stand tall and upright, squeezed into the limited sunlight, as if they are competing for a space with those giant trees in the sky.

"Hey, I have to roll it wherever I go."

When I think of the overtime hours in my previous life when I was constantly squeezing in time, I feel a little sigh.

Soon the eyes began to light up, and one of the trees in the middle was the most special.

The leaves are slender and not dense, but you can always find a small lantern-shaped colorful fruit among three or five leaves.

At first glance, it looks like the persimmon tree in my hometown.

This was the first fruit-bearing tree he saw after coming to another world.

Li Ziqi, who once had no feeling for pork, is now drooling and his eyes are turning green.

I really want to eat it.

When I see something to eat, I feel motivated.

The tool turned into a ladder and he climbed up. Over the next few days, his climbing skills soared rapidly, and he could see more clearly when he climbed higher.

Like a small lantern, it is wrapped by three or five broad leaves. In the middle of the lantern are spiral lines that rotate. The lines extend to the ends and turn into pieces of fluffy silk threads. Under the sunlight, they glow red, and there is a faint candle inside.<

/p>

Although it is magical, it is just food to satisfy hunger.

He clapped his hands, picked up the sickle and chopped directly at the connection point between the fruit and the trunk.

Bah!

Two clusters of sparks emerged, which were about as hard as those trees hundreds of meters high. This was expected, just wait until the black sun dominates the sky.

Before long, the sky became dark, and the branches were easily cut off by the sickle, and the branches and fruits fell to the ground.

There were at least thirty fruits on one branch, and Li Ziqi kept fishing for them. He slid down the tree skillfully, and when the sickle passed by, a bright red fruit appeared directly in the palm of his hand.

"I can eat enough today."

Li Ziqi was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't live up to his expectations, so he went for the fruit after one bite.

Bang.

Two rows of teeth almost fell out, and Li Ziqi burst into tears from the pain.

That moment just now was like biting on iron.

In addition, I exerted too much force and could not slow down at all.

When I bring it to the tip of my nose, I can smell the aroma of fruit wood again, but this fragrance is more intense and more like perfume.

This feeling is completely incomparable to the fruit you eat during the day.

I feel pain in my heart, and I finally found a fruit tree, but I can't eat it. How can this be true?

After the torture just now, I am getting hungrier.

"Maybe it's nuts."

When he cut the fruit open, he found that there was no kernel as he imagined, but instead staggered teeth, which were thin, white and sharp, with thirteen rows. The teeth became sharper and closer together as they went inward.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Looking towards the fruits on the top of the tree, I saw some of them had opened their mouths, which seemed to have evolved into a big mouth.

"Could this fruit be edible?"

When I think about the scene of eating something, my scalp goes numb. There are some piranha flowers in myths and legends.

Fortunately, it's just a small tree, immature.

I mentally reminded myself to pay more attention when exploring in the future.

But I really can’t bear to throw away the fruits that I finally collected. These look like teeth, but in the final analysis they also grow on trees.

"These proteins should also supplement energy."

Now he is so hungry that the energy of the two green dates has been exhausted. Now he wants to stuff all the bark into his stomach.

I originally wanted to explore the northern and southern areas, but I am too lazy to do so now.

Even though it wasn't completely dark yet, Li Ziqi had already returned to the well carrying the lantern branches.

He needs to move the fire to the bottom of the well, so that the bed he dug will be crowded and needs to be widened. The second step is to see if these fruits can be boiled to see if they can add something.

If you want to cook something, you naturally need to build a fire rack.

Li Ziqi's handiwork was not slow. When it got completely dark, a simple triangular fire was set up next to the cave.

The flames roared, and the smoke evaporated and followed the gap in the manhole cover.

In the middle of the flame, a stainless iron pot turned into a tool is hanging under three wooden frames. A dozen lantern fruits in the iron pot are tumbling up and down with the water spray.

The wall had already been reddened by the firelight, and streams of hot air penetrated into the body through the pores on the back, directly expelling the cold air that invaded the wellhead.

Fire.

What a good thing.
