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.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
