“You are like a pregnant Omega.”
…
A swamp ghost crocodile with a body length of more than one meter was moving towards the ancient road along the strange yet familiar smell.
It remembers a scent in it! Not long ago, he appeared around its nest, trying to steal its eggs!
The female swamp ghost crocodile’s narrow pupil slit looks cold and angry, frantically searching for the source of the scent.
And the source himself, Jiang Kun, was shamelessly following quickly behind Lu Liran and Ke Ji.
He heard Lu Liran say to the drone: “…I have to find something to eat. I haven’t eaten much all day, and my physical strength is very exhausted.”
Jiang Kun nodded slightly in agreement, but felt that the task of “finding something to eat” was a bit difficult.
“The swamp is rich in species, and it’s easier to find something to eat than in Salba.” Lu Liran said.
Jiang Kun paused slightly, Salba? Salba Desert? Who would go there without supplies! What to compare!
“The fish here are very flexible and difficult to catch.” Jiang Kun said, “If you are short of nutrient solution, I have a few bags of surplus here, so I’ll give them to you first.”
Lu Liran rejected Jiang Kun’s kindness: “No, in principle I will only bring the most basic utensils, namely a water bottle, a knife, a rope and a backpack. I will use these basic props to show how to survive and escape in this kind of place. Other than that, we will not accept external resources and help.”
Jiang Kun frowned into a knot, relying only on these things? Not even the most basic nutrients!
Lu Liran changed the subject and continued: “It is difficult to catch fish in the water, but besides fish in the water, there are other foods.”
Jiang Kun’s eyelids twitched, other food? He looked at Lu Liran.
Lu Liran seemed to have found the target.
He quickly walked towards a rotten tree lying on the ground in front of him. The tree body was almost dead.
“For example, here. The rotten tree is a good place. It nourishes many creatures and is a natural home for insects and ants.” Lu Liran said, taking out his dagger and peeling away the rotten bark.
A large piece of old tree bark was easily peeled off like moss. The tree inside was somewhat hollow, and it could be seen that a lot of it had been chewed away.
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up when he saw this: “Maybe there is something we can eat in here!”
Jiang Kun had an uneasy premonition.
Could there be something for them to eat in the rotten tree? Is the food in there edible??
He turned to look at Ke Ji for help, hoping that the beautiful and kind-hearted Omega in front of him could give him some hints.
However, the other party just looked at him with a trace of sympathy, and did not mean to remind him. He just said to him: “Yes, you can eat it.”
Jiang Kun felt even more uneasy.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The more panicked Jiang Kun is, the happier I am!?]
[Beauty’s words make people more scared, don’t they!]
[Tsk, tsk, actually you two should cherish each other, you are the only two men whose tastes have not changed!]
[No, maybe Brother Lu is the only one in the entire galaxy who can eat those things raw without any expression on his face, right?]
[What do you think Brother Lu will dig up this time?]
[He has dug it in Salba! A big, fat, white worm!]
[…after saying that, I remembered that the one the beauty ate seemed to be full of fluids]
[Another explosion, Hahahaha, Brother Lu’s live broadcast room, specialties are hot]
[Three seconds of silence for Jiang Kun]

Countless black carpenter ants crawled out from inside and climbed onto Lu Liran’s fingers and the back of his hands. These ants were not aggressive in any way, so Lu Liran casually swatted them away, but there were too many and he couldn’t swat them all, which was a bit annoying.
Jiang Kun swallowed, and when he saw Lu Liran taking out all the ant nests, his scalp felt numb.
Lu Liran no longer paid attention to the ants crawling on his hands. Instead, he put the hollow piece of wood into his palm and said: “There should be something we can eat in here…”
As he was speaking, he shook the wood in his hand vigorously and poured it down. Within a few moments, white rice kernel-like things fell out of the wood.
Lu Liran carefully held it with the palm of his hand and measured it with his eyes: “That’s it! I hope the amount inside is not too small.”
Jiang Kun’s facial features were about to wrinkle into a ball! These aren’t the things he was thinking about, are they??
He opened his mouth, but didn’t have the courage to ask.
Instead, Lu Liran took the initiative to speak: “These are ant eggs, an excellent food in the wild. They are rich in high protein and amino acids. The protein content is 16 times that of milk and 38 times that of eggs, which produces 6 times more calories than ordinary fish and the like.”
“In other words, such a small handful is equivalent to the calories and protein that a fist-sized piece of beef can provide us.” Lu Liran picked up a cluster of ant eggs with his fingers, squeezed them into a ball and stuffed them into his mouth.
Fresh ant eggs have a bit of a sour taste, but the taste is actually not bad.
Jiang Kun watched from the side, his eyes almost falling out of his sockets: “Just eat it like this?!”
Lu Liran narrowed his eyes and directed Jiang Kun: “Go and pick some leaves.”
Jiang Kun didn’t know why, but he was glad that Lu Liran didn’t give those things to him. He immediately ran to pick a few leaves and came back. They were big, clean, and had no holes!
Lu Liran said that he would not give such good things to Jiang Kun in vain.
“Keep it in hand, don’t throw it away.” Lu Liran warned.
Jiang Kun watched the ant eggs that were the size of rice grains and maybe even bigger being dumped on the leaves. He couldn’t help but frown, looking extremely patient.
Lu Liran was still searching elsewhere on the tree, hoping to find some other food.
[Tsk, Jiang Kun, this can’t be done, it’s just an ant egg, this expression looks like he’s about to be executed]
[If it was like the worm that Brother Lu found for the Beauty last time…would he have to roll his eyes and faint hahaha]
[This proves that not everyone can adapt to Brother Lu’s heavy taste]
[This proves that Beauty is true love for Brother Lu]
[Hahahaha, that’s true. Beauty shouldn’t be restricted from bringing food rations, right? But he’s still happy to accept Brother Lu’s feeding?]
[Where is the willingness, it’s a clear case of all comers welcome, and he is overly doting on him]
[233333 I have a hunch that today is a big meal, and I want to watch Beauty’s food live broadcast (dog head)]
[+me]
Lu Liran finally filled the four leaves picked by Jiang Kun, folded them and packed them into a perfect small package, without leaking an ant egg or a small insect.
Jiang Kun’s scalp felt numb from the first moment he saw the ant eggs. At the end, he watched Lu Liran expressionlessly pick out a big fat worm with the tip of his knife. It can be said that he has grown by leaps and bounds
However, when he saw Lu Liran remove the head of the first worm, squeeze out the body fluids and organs, and then stuff the still wriggling worm into his mouth, Jiang Kun couldn’t hold back, and hurriedly gave the leaf in his hand to Ke Ji, while he ran to the side to retch.
He hadn’t eaten much for a long time. His stomach was empty and he couldn’t vomit anything. At least he didn’t waste anything.
Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth, he looked at Jiang Kun who kept making painful retching sounds over there, and couldn’t help but ask: “Are you okay?”
Jiang Kun waved his hands without looking back. Before he could answer, he heard Lu Liran say: “These ant eggs are not prepared for you…”
He couldn’t even hear these words now, and there was another heartbreaking cry: “Ugh——”
Lu Liran: “…”
Heh, rookie dog.
He turned to Ke Ji: “I don’t plan to keep it for him anyway. We can go back and bake it on the fire. It should taste good.”
Ke Ji: “…good.”
[Four big leaves! Brother Lu has really had a great harvest this time! ——ColdAntEggs gifted the anchor 1x Top-quality Wagyu Beef]
[And Beauty’s face has the same color as these four leaves]
[Hahahahahahaha, Commander is so difficult, hahahahahaha]
[Laughing, this anchor can always cheat the commander when I don’t expect it]
[You don’t understand, this is Brother Lu’s way of expressing love]
[Such love is too strong and most people cannot bear it]
Waiting for Jiang Kun to finally stop retching, Lu Liran called him on his way.
Jiang Kun felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the pack of leaves in Lu Liran’s hand, and couldn’t help but ask: “Can you put it back in the backpack? I felt a little sick when I saw it.”
Lu Liran rolled his eyes when he heard this: “You look like a pregnant Omega.”
Jiang Kun: “…”
Despite saying this, Lu Liran still put the bag of leaves back, although he originally planned to replenish his energy on the way.
If Jiang Kun saw him on the road and vomited again, it would still be a waste of his time.
Seeing that Jiang Kun had indeed brought him to the swamp ghost crocodile’s lair, Lu Liran acquiesced to the other party’s following.
After trekking along the road, Lu Liran was not lucky enough to catch anything edible. Instead, he managed to pluck out a pine bud from a pine branch.
“Pine buds can also be eaten.” Lu Liran said while picking up pine branches.
This road is to return the same way, so there is no need to worry about threats such as mud puddles suddenly appearing under the feet. Even so, Lu Liran actually still devotes most of his attention to observing and listening to the movements around him.
He continued: “It has been used in the forest area of Arlok before. Although it does not contain much heat, it can stimulate the secretion of saliva in the mouth, and has the effect of repelling cold and dampness. In such a swamp, it is better to use it to make a pot of hot tea.”
Lu Liran divided a dozen pine buds into a portable kettle and pressed the heating switch. When he returns to the camp, he should be able to drink boiled pine bud tea.
The group took some time to return to the camp. Jiang Kun was ordered to light a fire, while Ke Ji was responsible for opening the packages of leaves one by one and laying them flat on a stone.
This is his and Lu Liran’s dinner tonight.
Looking at the lively and writhing insects, Ke Ji felt that ant eggs were the perfect food.
No comparison, no harm.
After Jiang Kun lit the fire, Lu Liran gave him a small cup of warm pine bud tea, which even contained a little rosin, completely covering up the strange smell of filtered swamp water.
Jiang Kun hadn’t drank such water for a long time, and he suddenly felt alive and extremely happy.
“It turns out it can still be like this!” Jiang Kun said he learned.
Lu Liran curled up his lips. These simple tips that can improve the quality of life during outdoor adventures are all the experiences he accumulated in the wilderness again and again.
[Mom! It feels like Brother Lu’s quality of life has improved instantly! Everyone has tea!——Charcoal grilled sheep’s eyes gifted the anchor 1x White Truffle]
[Drink a cup of hot tea, roast something by the campfire…well, it’s a nice outing!]
“Come, eat some bugs.” Lu Liran said to Ke Ji.
Exotic food back on menu ! Lol
Hummm, tea sounds ok, not sure about the rest.
The livestream: “quality of life has increased!”
Lu Liran: “Come, eat some bugs” 🐛 😆
