Chapter 90: Aerial Battle

If you weren't worried that there would be no animals here and no meat to eat, it would be nice to stay here, and it feels like Hawaii, although I haven't been there, but I guess it's about the same.

The women had gathered around a bath by the waterhole, and now it was their time to use it, and the four of us men had to come and pick the coconuts.

Who would have thought that John would suddenly scream so strangely that I almost fell off the coconut tree.

"Dragonflies. John exclaimed.

"Dragonfly, dragonfly, what the hell is your name, I climb trees. I said.

How to climb this coconut tree was also taught to me by Ye Beichen, and I thought it was funny when I remembered that we used to build ladders.

"No, see for yourself. John said.

I turned my head with difficulty and looked in the direction he was pointing, good fellow, why is the dragonfly so big, although it is still a little far away from me, but how can it be more than a meter long.

"Oh no, let's go back quickly. Ye Beichen shouted.

"Dragonflies are not pests. I said puzzled.

"If a dragonfly suddenly appears, there must be a pest, and the dragonfly is so big, the pest can't be small. Ye Beichen said.

"More and more. Paul shouted.

I am in the tree, I can see it more clearly, sure enough, there are a lot of big dragonflies flying densely in the distance, if what Ye Beichen said is right, then we really have to go back quickly, because the dragonflies are coming towards us.

I hurriedly slid down from the tree, Ye Beichen's legs and feet were not good, so he turned over and got on the horse directly, and the three of us spread our legs and started running.

Seeing that it is close to our station, but we haven't seen the women yet, so I guess they are still soaking in the water.

"Come out quickly, there are enemies. I shouted.

If I had called for dragonflies, I guess their reaction would have been similar to mine.

Fortunately, the weather was hot here, and the women didn't have much to wear, so when I shouted, the women quickly got out of the bathroom.

"Cover our food quickly. I said out loud.

The people pulled the plantain leaves and covered the food, and John and Paul took wooden shovels and began to throw sand upwards.

"Buzz...," there was a loud roar from the direction of the desert.

It sounded like a lot of helicopters were flying, and I looked back and looked, oh my God, there were locusts flying all over the place.

A few locusts fell at my feet, and when I looked at it, it was as big as my palm, no wonder those dragonflies were so big, and Ye Beichen was right.

Fortunately, the dragonfly appeared in time, otherwise such a big locust would have eaten us together.

A space-scale air battle unfolded above our heads, and the big dragonflies directly blocked the way of the locusts, and some of the locusts attacked us directly.

"All jumped into the water. I shouted.

Everyone didn't dare to hesitate, locusts of this scale could not be dealt with by manpower, and they all jumped into the water without hesitation.

The sun used to be shining, but now the sky has been suppressed by the black obscured by locusts and dragonflies, and from time to time locusts will attack us in the water.

Everyone dived for a while, and floated for a while, although some were guilty, but they were able to save their lives.

I don't know how long I stayed in this water, but the locusts in the sky finally began to disperse gradually, and it seemed that the big dragonflies had won, and the waterholes were full of locust corpses, and of course, there were also big dragonflies.

The surrounding plants have been gnawed a lot, but fortunately it is not too serious, but it is conceivable that if there were no these big dragonflies, this place would have become a desert.

The dragonfly slowly receded, and we climbed ashore one by one, and I suddenly had some thoughts when I looked at the corpses in the pool.

"Make a fire and have a big meal today. I said to the people.

With that, I jumped into the water again and began to salvage the locust carcass.

"You're not going to eat those things, are you?" Ling Han asked with a nausea.

"What's the matter, no? It's high protein. I said.

"Come down and help. I said to John and Paul.

The two glanced at each other, and forced themselves into the water again with nausea.

Even a few women followed, and soon we had a full harvest, and a few large banana leaves were piled with locusts.

"I won't eat it if I am killed. Xia He said.

"Then you eat fruit. I said as I began to prepare the spices.

If there is one big discovery in this place, it is the chili pepper, a very large chili, red and spicy, I have picked a lot of it before, and now it comes in handy.

I put the locusts on the sticks one by one and stuck them diagonally next to the bonfire.

When the locusts started to bubble with oil, I sprinkled the prepared chili flakes and salt, and the aroma came out quickly.

Xia He, who said that he would not eat it, also began to swallow his saliva.

Seeing that the roast is almost done, I pick one up and send it to my mouth, in fact, I am also weak-hearted, but I have to make a sample.

I didn't expect it to taste so good, it's simple.

I didn't say it, and everyone didn't ask, when I started to eat the second one, everyone couldn't help it, and seeing that I was eating so happily, Ye Beichen also took one.

He looked at me in surprise as soon as he entered, and then he couldn't stop.

John and Paul have always admired my cooking, and although they must have never even eaten this small one, they have overcome their psychological barriers.

John didn't dare to take a big bite like I did, and after trying to bite a little, he couldn't hold it back for a moment.

Seeing this, Paul did not hesitate to take a big bite, and for a moment the four of us men were completely immersed in the delicacy, and we swallowed it as if no one else was around.

"Is it that delicious?" Liu Yue said, lifting one.

She didn't dare to put it directly in her mouth, but just left a thigh, put it to her mouth, sniffed and licked it, and finally took a small bite.

It's just this small bite, out of control, and Liu Yue also joined our team.

One by one, the women began to try, and finally they all crouched down by the campfire, and I guess no one could have imagined that one day we would be squatting by the water and gnawing on locusts.

"Can this thing really be eaten?" Xia He couldn't help but ask.

But no one paid attention to her, and everyone was eating happily.

Instead, Ye Beichen took a locust that had passed the test and stood up, and said to Xia He: "Try it, it's delicious." ”

Fortunately, this girl also knows how to go down the steps, so she hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it, pinching her nose with her eyes closed and biting down.

This bite immediately opened the door to a new world, and we squatted down to eat more happily than any of us.

After the locust feast, everyone lay side by side on the beach, drinking coconut water and burping.

"It was delicious. John said.

"I didn't expect insects to be so delicious. Paul said.

"I didn't expect us to eat insects. Luna said.

"If it weren't for Qingyang, I wouldn't have tried it in my life. Jones said.

"This thing could have been eaten, in our hometown, this is still a dish, but the grasshopper is not so big. I said.

"Originally, locusts were supposed to be inedible, but I didn't expect them to taste so good, this island is really amazing. Ye Beichen said.

"Ever since I met you, I've become less and less ladylike. Ling Han said.

This sentence immediately echoed, and the women began to complain about me.

"What are you doing, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge? You didn't keep your mouth shut when you ate, and now you are laying the blame on me?" said unconvinced.

"Sisters, teach him a lesson. Ling Han shouted.

I quickly got up and ran, and the women kept chasing after me, in fact, I knew that they were looking for an excuse to burn calories.

Back at the campfire, in order to avoid the locusts from spoiling, we roasted all the remaining locusts and wrapped them in plantain leaves.

I didn't sleep that night because I was going to start training.

"What are you going to teach me kung fu?" I asked.

"What I taught you is what I got from birth and death, this is not kung fu, to be precise, this is all killing skills. Ye Beichen said.

"Then am I going to call you Master?" I said with a smile.

"Actually, at first, I wasn't sure about you, I was just with you to survive, but gradually, I found that you are a trustworthy person, and if I could, I wanted to treat you as a brother. Ye Beichen said.

"That's it, don't go back. I said.

"Hahaha, let's get started. Ye Beichen said.

Combined with my current physical fitness, what Ye Beichen handed over to me has improved my battle a lot, and I have benefited a lot from this night, because he is just a guide.

"If you continue to practice like this, I guess I won't be able to beat you even if I recover. Ye Beichen said with a smile.

"You'll find out if you try it then. I said with a smile.
