That is definitely not an ordinary chicken!
Counting its neck and towering forehead, it is half a head taller than Ning Shu and Qian Qian!
Its body is pitch black, with a blue neck and an orange forehead, exuding a temperament as hot-tempered as Mellivora capensis!
Ning Shu and Qian Qian have never seen such a strange chicken before.
They watched as its sturdy chicken claws stepped on the burning charcoal ash, completely ignoring the scorching high temperature, and lowered its head to charge towards Qian Qian?
"Qian Qian, run this way!"
"Oh my, how can it chase after people!"
"Shoot it!"
"But...my gun..." Qian Qian panicked and fumbled with the pistol!
"Bang!" A bullet flew out and coincidentally hit the towering forehead of the big chicken!
The chicken staggered, with a large piece of its sturdy skull shattered by the bullet, but it didn't fall down!
Not only did it not fall down, but it seemed unaffected!
It was as if the bullet struck a keratin layer.
"This chicken is invulnerable to knives and guns!"
"A devil chicken?"
Its eyes were terrifyingly fierce. Suddenly, it leaped high, extending its sturdy claws and reaching towards Qian Qian.
Ning Shu understood that with this swipe, even if Qian Qian didn't die, she would be seriously injured!
She didn't have time to think much and grabbed a clothes hanger rod to smash it towards the chicken's neck!
This blow stunned the big chicken for a moment, but it immediately chased after the two of them!
At this moment, Hai Yan rushed over and knocked down the big chicken.
Ning Shu took the opportunity to pull Qian Qian up!
"Which way should we run?"
"To the stone cave!"
The two of them ran towards the stone cave, but before they could climb up, the big chicken chased after them again.
The two abruptly changed direction, and the big chicken slammed into the stone wall.
"Qian Qian, you go up to the treehouse..."
"What about you, Squad Leader?"
"Don't worry about me."
Ning Shu turned around and saw a familiar figure squatting near the beehive not far away.
Sun Bear!
Damn, it turned out to be a sun bear!
At this moment, it held the beehive, drooling, and hesitated whether to take the beehive away or not!
Hearing Ning Shu's voice, it turned around and saw Ning Shu rushing towards it with a big stick, evoking terrifying memories deep within its heart!
Terrified, it widened its black bean-like eyes, immediately hung the beehive back, and crouched under the tree, covering its head.
"Why are you covering your head, we're in this together!"
The sun bear was a little confused, and then it saw a big chicken charging towards it.
Being pulled out by Ning Shu and kicked, it was forced into battle!
Then inexplicably, it started fighting with a chicken!
Ning Shu hurriedly went to find Qian Qian to go up to the treehouse. From there, they could have the advantage of elevation and calmly aim and shoot?
But she saw Qian Qian standing there in a daze!
Ning Shu ran over and said, "Go up, Qian Qian!"
However, to her astonishment, another big chicken was standing under the ladder of the treehouse, glaring at them!
Ning Shu swallowed her saliva and slowly raised her gun.
...
On the other side!
Lu Zhe caught a rosy fish, Shen Bing caught a Thai tiger, Jiang Yao caught a big Sudan carp and a catfish, and Tang Xiaoguo caught a bunch of tadpoles. It was quite a fruitful harvest!
They could go back and make spicy grilled fish!
It's a pity for this tiger fish. Its excellent appearance could easily fetch five or six thousand yuan at a fish store, but now it can only be used as food!
However, this is normal!
Many high-end ornamental fish were once consumed as food in their places of origin. After being overconsumed and becoming endangered, the local government became aware and started protecting them.
For example, the Thai Tiger from Siam!
There are also fish that are so abundant that they are hunted without restraint, like the Silver Dragon and the Giant Tonguefish in the Amazon River.
To ensure the fish's taste, Jiang Yao suggests putting them in plastic bags filled with water to keep them alive.
But that would require a really large plastic bag!
Tang Xiaoguo regretted not bringing a trash bin.
Lu Zhe shook his head, saying, "That bin can hold half a ton of water. Are you suggesting that I carry it back, or do you want to carry it yourself?"
"Does that mean we can only eat dead fish?"
"Not necessarily. Look at mine!"
Lu Zhe had already found a solution in the survival manual.
He took out some banana fiber ropes and threaded them through the fish's mouth, coming out through its gills. Then he tied the ends of the rope from the mouth to the tail, bending the fish into a "C" shape.
He lifted it up. "There you go!"
Tang Xiaoguo was puzzled. "What kind of operation is this?"
Jiang Yao explained, "It's easy to understand. We make the fish forget that it's a fish, so it won't die from dehydration."
"You... you're not fooling me, are you?"
Jiang Yao said, "Why would I? Hey, I've even heard of a blind person who developed amnesia and forgot they were blind, and their vision actually started to recover!"
Tang Xiaoguo widened his eyes. "Is that true or false?"
"Better not believe that! Shen Bing said, "Lu Zhe's method is called 'Bowfish Technique.' The older generation used this method to keep fish alive for a long time without water."
"Is there scientific evidence?"
"It's actually quite simple! By forcibly bending the fish, one side of its gills and scales remains open, preventing them from sticking together due to mucus. This allows the fish to continue breathing and survive!"
Tang Xiaoguo nodded thoughtfully. "But wouldn't it be uncomfortable for the fish?"
Jiang Yao reassured him, "No, it will make sounds if it's uncomfortable."
Each of them carried a fish back to the hot spring.
By now, it was already 5 PM!
The spring had been pouring in cold water for a full three hours!
Lu Zhe believed that even if the water temperature hadn't reached a level tolerable for humans, it should have at least dropped a few degrees!
But it hadn't!
Despite the injection of a large amount of cold spring water, the hot spring remained at a high temperature. When they stopped the stream for a few seconds, the water in the hot spring immediately boiled again.
Lu Zhe felt a bit speechless!
It seemed that injecting this volume of water was not enough to change the temperature of the hot spring!
Lu Zhe sighed helplessly.
Was there really no hope for the sweet potato sprouts?
There was no other option for now but to let the water continue flowing like this. If it didn't work, they would come back to check tomorrow!
Back at the campsite, they made spicy chopped fish!
The squad leader must have been craving this for a long time!
Just then, they heard gunshots!
"Something's happening at the campsite. Let's hurry back!"
Four people returned to the campsite, but Lu Zhe couldn't see the two girls!
Lu Zhe's heart skipped a beat: "Has something happened again?"
Then, Lu Zhe noticed a strange, large chicken lying on the ground, shot in the chest and already dead!
He gently touched the chicken with his hand, and he received information in his mind: "Fire-eating chicken, also known as the crane ostrich, is distributed in Indonesia and New Guinea and is known as the most dangerous bird..."
Lu Zhe was startled, and as he continued reading, he discovered that this bird had a strong desire to attack. It had a large horny helmet on its head which served as a sound receiver for the crane ostrich, allowing it to receive information from its companions.
On its toes, it had a 12-centimeter-long dagger-like sharp claw that could cut open the chest of its prey.
"Obviously, they were attacked..."
"But wasn't this one already shot dead?"
"This means there must be another one or several!"
Jiang Yao and Qian Qian shouted, "Squad leader, Qian Qian..."
No response!
At this moment, Shen Bing noticed that Hai Yan and Yongqiang had some scratch marks on their bodies, indicating that they had also been attacked. And not far away, there was a weary sun bear lying on the ground.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
