Chapter 148
The thing was grayish-black in appearance, roughly oval in shape, the size of a fist, with an irregular surface and many small holes, which at first glance looked like ordinary stone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But it had just moved some distance in the water, apparently a living thing.
Zheng Guo walked along the waterhole to the opposite side so that he could see more clearly.
From a different angle, I found that there was more than one.
The deepest part of this waterhole is only about one meter, and the water is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.
There is a large amount of plankton floating on the surface of the water, visible to the naked eye, in green and other colors. Some are able to swim on their own, while others go with the flow.
At the bottom of the waterhole are sparse aquatic weeds, but they are not dense and most of them are bare.
It doesn't look like anything special.
These stone-like creatures are scattered across the water, and they vary in shape, from large to small, large as a washbasin and as small as a fist.
At this moment, another relatively large individual moved some distance towards the edge of the pool.
The difference is that this one moves very slowly and seems to be struggling.
After moving a distance of about a meter, it stopped.
A string of bubbles emerges from the surface of the "stone".
Zheng Guo stretched the knife into the pool of water, and with a slight stroke, layers of ripples rippled on the surface of the water.
Several nearby "stone monsters" immediately ran into the distance.
Only then did Zheng Guo see that several legs (at least six) stretched out from under their bodies, swinging rapidly alternately, and soon they were several meters away.
Since it is a living creature, there is a chance that it can be used as food.
Zheng Guo decided to catch one and come up to see if he could eat it.
Untie the hydration bladder, take off your pants and shoes and socks, and stack them aside.
The people who are still watching the broadcast at this point are all old fans, and they are used to his behavior of taking off their pants without saying a word, and they don't feel anything wrong at all, and everyone's attention at this time is on the strange creature.
"Damn, the stone is fine! Σ(?д?|||)??”
"When you are hungry, you won't even let go of the stones. (⊙o⊙)”
"I hope I can eat it"
……
Zheng Guo held the Heavenly Evil Knife and slowly waded into the water, trying not to alarm them.
However, there were still a few "stone spirits" who sensed the change in the water flow and immediately ran in the opposite direction.
Zheng Guo targeted a "stone spirit" the size of a rugby ball, and slowly approached it.
Three meters, two meters, one meter......
Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, and all six legs stretched out from under it, and it was about to run away.
Zheng Guo immediately made a decision, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands, and the tip of the knife stabbed towards its body.
Brush!
Right on target!
The blade pierced its body and continued to plunge down to the bottom of the pool more than half a meter.
Although its shell looked like stone, it was not hard at all, and it didn't take much effort to penetrate it.
Zheng Guo stabilized himself in the water, pulled out the knife from the bottom of the pool, and raised it in front of him to look.
The creature was pierced through it, and its six legs were still struggling.
Zheng Guo went ashore, threw it to the ground, and made up for it.
Dead, lying motionless on the ground.
Zheng Guo turned it over with the tip of a knife, and the camera zoomed in, so that the audience could see its true face.
The body is more than 20 centimeters long, and the body is divided into three segments, which are pale red in color and have symmetrically distributed curved lines on them.
There is a leg on each side of the body, a total of six.
The middle two legs are the longest and thickest.
Judging by these characteristics alone, it is somewhat similar to a crab type of arthropod.
The difference is that it does not have a pair of powerful large chela, nor does it have a calcified carapace, and the flesh is directly exposed.
The rest of its body was mostly hidden within the stone-like shell, making it impossible to see.
Zheng Guo pinched its abdomen, cut the upper shell with the blade of the knife, and peeled it open, revealing the white flesh inside.
The two pairs of wing-like structures on the sides of the body caught Zheng Guo's attention.
The wings are transparent, soft, and clinging to the sides of the body, covered in mucus.
Apparently not fully developed.
"It seems that this should be the larva of some kind of flying creature, living in the water. When the wings are fully developed, they take off their shells and fly into the sky. ”
Zheng Guo put the Heavenly Evil Knife aside and used the gourmet device to test its composition.
Protein...... 48.7%
Fat...... 1.4%
Carbohydrates...... 0.3%
Iron ...... 0.9%
……
As a result, no harmful substances were detected and it is edible!
When the results came out, there was a cheer in the live broadcast room.
"Congratulations, congratulations?? (囍)?"
"Thank you, Lady Luck!"
"There are so many in the water, it should be enough to eat several meals!"
"Damn, this product has such a high protein content?? Σ(°△°|||) ︴”
"That's amazing!"
"That...... Am I the only one who thinks that the iron content is also high? ”
"Whatever, iron is harmless to the human body anyway."
"yes, it can also replenish blood."
……
When Zheng Guo saw the words "edible", he was also excited.
The mood at this time is definitely no less than seeing an oasis in the desert.
He has been trying to restrain himself as much as possible, and he has not shown it on the outside, in fact, he is already hungry, and if he doesn't eat, the iron man can't stand it.
At this time, I accidentally found food, how can I not be excited.
And the protein content is very high, several times more than beef!
It's the most precious thing to survive in the wilderness, and it's what he needs most at the moment - protein!
After calming down a little, Zheng Guo also noticed one of the lines of information.
Iron ...... 0.9%
This is a bit outrageous, and normally the amount of iron in living organisms is much lower than that.
Maybe it has something to do with the living environment.
Iron is not a toxic substance, so it is not a big problem.
"Some water friends may have heard that iron can effectively replenish blood and is beneficial to the human body. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate amount, and excessive iron supplementation is also harmful to the body. ”
He picked up the food with the tip of his knife and came to the camera, and continued: "After testing, it was found that the iron content in its body was too high, and it was not suitable for long-term consumption. But don't worry, there is no problem at all with short-term use. ”
"That's why explorers have holes to drill, because there's a good chance you'll get something unexpected out of them." Zheng Guo smiled, "In the city, people need to work in exchange for pay to survive. And in the wilderness, you have to keep exploring to make a living. Both are essentially the same. ”
Putting the food aside, Zheng Guo carried the Heavenly Evil Knife, went into the water again, and continued to catch.
This time, his gaze was fixed on a figure the size of a washbasin.
This one is estimated to be enough for him to eat for a whole day.
Walk over slowly.
Three meters, two meters......
It remained motionless, unaware of the impending danger.
Zheng Guo grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, raised the Heavenly Evil Knife, and aimed the tip of the knife at its shell.
The audience also held their breath.
Zheng Guo stabbed down violently.
Clang!
The audience heard unexpected movements.
Sounds like ...... The sound of metal colliding!
