Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Magical Melaleuca Tree

This tree is very peculiar, it is a wonderful flower among the trees!

It molts on its own and is known as the molting tree, also known as the melaleuca, and its bark is said to be used to make medicine......

However, these barks only serve a purpose for Wu Yicai, and they are a good tool for making mats.

He walked straight up to the two trees and noticed that a thick piece of its bark had begun to fall off.

The old bark has been replaced by a new one, and it is shedding the old bark......

There was a gap between the old bark and the trunk, about 1 centimeter, and he had to concentrate on collecting it.

This gap in the trunk of the tree is not big for Wu Yicai, but it is the best shelter for some insects.

Wu Yicai inserted the spear into the gap, used the lever principle to pry off the bark, and sure enough, he found a spider in the gap in the bark.

Although he didn't know this colorful spider either, he knew from its colorful patterns that it should be a poisonous spider.

The spider was lying on top of the mille-feuille tree trunk, and it seemed that it had made the gap between the trunk and the bark its home.

It doesn't weave a web inside the trunk, which means it doesn't need to use a net to hunt prey, but probably uses toxins or agility to hunt prey.

Seeing this poison, Wu Yicai was generally eliminated, and he didn't want to live on the same island with such a threat to his life.

Although it is cruel to kill a living being like this, its life is very small compared to its own.

Wu Yicai slowly approached it with his spear, and when he was about two centimeters away from it, he stabbed it violently.

It's a stab!

This spider is really agile, Wu Yicai sneaked up on it at such a close distance, and it was even dodged by it, and it jumped out 20 centimeters in one jump.

In the end, under his frantic sweep, the spider died......

Another life withered in his hands, and he could only silently say sorry to it.

Wu Yicai had brushed shoulders with death several times, basically had close contact with some poisonous snakes and spiders, and now when he saw these poisonous substances, the idea of wanting to kill them rose in his heart.

……

There is really a danger everywhere here, and an inconspicuous crevice in the bark of a tree can hide this poison......

Fortunately, Wu Yi had a heart and didn't directly tear the mille-feuille bark with his hands, otherwise he would really be bitten by this agile poisonous spider.

He collected a lot of mille-feuille bark, which he double-checked many times before bringing it back to camp.

He placed the mille-feuille bark on top of the sticks on the ground, and finally spread a layer of leaves.

The bed is soft and dry because it is separated from the wet floor.

Now that the improvised camp is ready, he needs to move things over there again......

But when he arrived at the makeshift camp, he found that he should have eaten something first.

Wu Yi just grilled the fish and cooked two big lobsters when he just went ashore, just now he consumed a lot of energy to make a house, and now he is hungry with his chest on his back.

The side of the grouper that was placed next to the fire was already cooked, because he had not been here and had not flipped the grouper, which now caused the other side of the grouper to be not very cooked.

Flip the grouper over and let it roast slowly over the fire, the lobster he buried in the fire should be cooked......

He opened the lobster wrapped in leaves, and a scent mixed with the heat rose......

The scent of the lobster was different from that of the crab, it was a sweet scent, and the scent was tearing at his stomach, and the saliva in his mouth was slowly gathering like a stream.

The lobster was already red, and he separated the head from its tail, and at once pulled out a piece of tender white shrimp, the shrimp of the large lobster was so big, about ten times larger than the one he usually eats.

Wu Yicai took a bite on the white tender shrimp, the texture of the shrimp is good, the meat is compact and tender, the soup is mellow, and the sweetness is refreshing with leaves......

Wu Yicai just took the shrimp in his mouth, he really didn't want to swallow it, the taste was so wonderful.

In the end, under the fierce resistance of Wu Yicai's stomach, he had to start chewing the shrimp, the soup of the shrimp had already been absorbed by him, but the moment he bit it, the shrimp burst by itself.

The dry shrimp was burst by him, and the soup hidden in the shrimp splashed in his mouth, and his taste buds quickly discerned the flavor......

It's sweet, salty, fragrant, and there's a quiet aroma, just by eating this bite of shrimp, he feels as if he's in a forest with a quiet air.

The mellow aroma of shrimp has been around the tip of his tongue, and he eats the shrimp in a big gulp, its taste is very similar to lychee, especially the shrimp is dipped in the internal organs and brain of the lobster and has a special sweetness.

Wu Yicai wanted to say that this lobster is definitely better than crabs, its shrimp is really amazing, and this kind of fresh lobster is usually not eaten.

After wandering on a desert island for so many days, the only thing that satisfied him was the abundant seafood, which did not require too many ingredients to make it delicious.

The grouper is also very well grilled, it is sizzling on the fire, and the fish oil from the charcoal is a puff of oil smoke, and the fragrant smell fills the air, which makes people salivate......

The grouper is golden when grilled by the fire, and the knife on the fish is very cracked, and the yellowed flesh can be seen through the sides of the knife.

Wu Yicai tasted grouper last time, this kind of fish has very firm flesh, few bones, and its meat tastes very similar to grilled steamed buns, but the taste is much better than grilled steamed buns.

The grouper is firm and chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the meat is chewed up, slowly oozing out some fish oil.

The smooth fish oil and the sturdy and fragrant fish meat are simply delicious!

……

Two big lobsters went down to their stomachs and ate another grouper, and now Wu Yicai is no longer able to hold on, and he feels so comfortable that he is full, and he has completely forgotten the feeling of being so hungry that his chest is close to his back......

Pick your teeth with fish bones and drink some purified rainwater, the rain here is really sweet.

It was now close to noon, and the sun was still hot, so he moved everything into his new camp.

The new camp was nice, the sun didn't shine, the hut was completely shaded by trees at noon when the sun was at its hottest, and he was surprised to find that there were no mosquitoes!

Wu Yicai's new camp didn't even find a single mosquito, or even a fly, is there something strange here that makes mosquitoes and flies not come here?

The thing that can repel mosquitoes is the smell, so what's the difference in the smell here?

He sniffed the air hard, and sure enough, he smelled a very sweet smell, a bit similar to the fragrance of lemon, is there a lemon here?

When he thinks of lemons, his saliva waters, not because he wants to eat lemons, but because of the characteristics of lemons.

Sour!

It's sour, it's sour!

Wu Yicai is not very keen on lemons on weekdays, the first is that its taste is too sour, and the second is that it is too expensive....

Ahem...... In fact, the main reason is that he is too picky, and he is still reluctant to buy more than a dozen yuan a pound of fruit.

But it's not the same to find lemons here, which are rich in vitamin C and are also a rare cooking seasoning.

If he can find it, he will cook better in the future, and most importantly, the fruit here is free!

Wu Yicai sniffed around like a dog, and finally found this lemon-scented plant on the ground, it was not a lemon, but a plant with pink flowers......

Its leaves are like watermelon leaves, and the smell is very good, and it seems that the fragrance with mosquito repellent effect is emitted by it.

Wu Yicai didn't know whether these flowers were poisonous or not, so he simply left it alone, because it continued to release a strange fragrance that could effectively help him disperse mosquitoes, so he didn't have to endure mosquito bites day and night.

The jungle here is very loose, and there are many coconut trees, he can get a bamboo to make a tool to get the coconut hanging high on the tree, he has not tasted coconut for a long time, but he misses the unique and attractive fragrance.

As he turned, he noticed a cluster of green plants not far from his feet, its leaves familiar to him.

Could this be......

But Wu Yicai is not very sure that it is it, and he needs to dig up the soil to take a look.
