"Xu Yi, are we eating leopard at tonight?" Lu Ke had originally planned to eat braised rabbit, as they had gone out and caught two rabbits today.
But after Xu Yi brought back a leopard, Lu Ke set her eyes on the leopard.
This at, she hadn’t tried before.
As a foodie, things she hasn’t tasted before always hold a special allure.
"Sure, let’s smoke the rabbit, and we’ll check out how the leopard at tastes." Saying this, Xu Yi took out a plastic bag filled with leopard blood from his satchel and handed it to Lu Ke.
"Is it ti for hotpot?" Lu Ke asked.
"Sure, let’s get the hotpot ready, and I’ll handle it." Saying this, Xu Yi dragged the leopard to the water’s edge.
Lu Ke took out the leopard blood, preparing to put it in the pot to boil.
Then, she heard Wang Jin’s voice: "Sis, there’s a water source here, we can boil water to drink now."
Last ti, Wang Jin had seen Xu Yi bringing in water to the camp, so she knew that heading outside the campsite ant she could follow the ’water pipe’ to find the source. Yet, she didn’t expect it to be so close.
"Are they camping near our campsite?" Lu Ke asked Xu Yi.
"Probably, since it’s already dark, and the way back might not be safe," Xu Yi replied while cutting open the leopard’s belly.
"Oh, I hope they have a safe night," Lu Ke knew this wasn’t the ti to invite them over. If possible, Xu Yi wouldn’t have closed off the fence gate.
After spending so much ti together, she knew Xu Yi was a kind-hearted person.
If he could help, he definitely would.
Just like with hunting the leopard, without a second thought, Xu Yi took action.
"If so more animals co, we can fight a bit for points. This leopard is worth 7 points." Saying this, Xu Yi stripped off the leopard’s fur and put it aside.
Lu Ke finished boiling the leopard blood, scooped it out, and set it in a bowl for the hotpot later.
Then she fetched the tripod and fixed the leopard skin to it, scraping off the excess fat.
An hour later, Xu Yi and Lu Ke sat at the table and started eating hotpot.
A few dozen ters outside the fence, Wang Jin and Lu Yao were still working on starting a fire.
"Sis, this fire is so hard to get going, it’s been more than an hour, and it’s still not lit." Saying this, Wang Jin couldn’t help but glance at Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s campsite, where the fire burned brightly.
"Huff, huff, huff." Lu Yao kept blowing on the embers.
"It’s lit, finally lit." Wang Jin saw the flas and happily shouted.
It really took Lu Yao to make it happen, her own fire-starting skills were too poor.
Her voice was loud, and naturally, Xu Yi and Lu Ke heard it.
Upon hearing, Xu Yi almost spat out his food.
After so long, they’ve just managed to light a fire?
This wasn’t the beginning, it had been a month since arrival, making a fire should be an easy task by now. Like Xu Yi, who had made four fire-starting tools and insisted on taking one along whenever he went out, so he could start a fire anyti they needed it.
"The gap is really noticeable, isn’t it? My cousin is a special forces soldier, she can surely train the newbies well, can’t she?"
"Compared to Wanzi and Loli Ke, they are indeed a bit weaker."
"Such a stark contrast, the two inside are sitting at the table having hotpot, while the two outside struggle and get all sooty to start a fire."
"No worries, soon Wanzi and my cousin can also enjoy so braised pork. No need to envy them."
"Loli Ke and Xu Yi are indeed at ease, it seems the leopard at is delicious too."
"Look at them, they haven’t stopped, just busy eating, must be good."
"I’m really curious about the taste of leopard at."
"You can try it in Africa, as long as you have money and aren’t afraid of catching diseases, you can eat anything."
"I wonder how Wanzi will feel seeing Lu Ke and Xu Yi eating hotpot?"
"I guess she’ll... join in, haha."
"Honestly, I’m really looking forward to them all eating hotpot together. That’d be quite a scene."
"Better not, their skills aren’t on the sa level. I don’t think Xu Yi would want to play with them."
"Wanzi, keep it up, don’t get looked down upon!"
"Our Wanzi is the best, she’s been working really hard and improving a lot every day."
"A bunch of smug dogs, without Lu Yao, she would have been eliminated long ago. It’s been a month, and anyone from the other teams is better than her."
"If you don’t want your eyes, donate them, look at Ivica, then co back and eat your own words."
Although she hadn’t seen, Wang Jin knew that Lu Ke and Xu Yi must be eating well.
Leopard at shouldn’t be hard to eat!
Luckily, Lu Yao got the fire going, otherwise they would have had to eat hard jerky tonight, and Lu Yao’s cut at slices wouldn’t have been able to be smoked.
With the flas, Wang Jin felt much more at ease.
She built a small stone stove from rocks and placed the steel pot on top.
Inside the pot were cut-up pieces of at.
With the fire going, Lu Yao could continue slicing the wild boar at.
Wang Jin made the fire bigger, then stuck a circle of branches around it, and hung the slices of at on them to smoke them.
With so much wild boar at, not processing it would be a huge waste. In their current situation, they couldn’t afford such wasteful behavior.
"Sis, how many points is this wild boar worth?" Wang Jin recalled that she didn’t know how many points they had earned today.
Although there wasn’t a supply mission ga, Wang Jin felt that once points were involved, the more the better. Today was the second day since the task was issued, and they finally achieved sothing.
"5 points, it’s less than I expected." Lu Yao glanced at the other campsite, curious about how many points Xu Yi got for the leopard he took down.
"Only 5, that’s a bit disappointing. To reach 100 points, we’d have to kill 20 wild boars, tough." Wang Jin shook her head, feeling that her and Lu Yao’s desire to be the first to reach 100 points might be in vain.
"Do your best, we’re not the only ones hunting." Lu Yao said, continuing to slice the at.
Wang Jin nodded, took out the cleaned pig heart and kidney, sliced them with her steel claw dagger, skewered them on sticks, and started grilling them.
In this temperature, at was hard to preserve, and would quickly spoil. So the pig heart and kidney needed to be eaten soon. As for the pot of braised pork, it was going to take a while to cook.
After grilling so, Wang Jin handed them over to Lu Yao.
Just as she handed the grilled at to Lu Yao, a wolf howl sounded.
"Xu Yi, there’s a wolf howling, could Wang Jin and them be..." Lu Ke asked nervously, ready to pick up her crossbow.
Xu Yi shook his head, the sound was quite distant, and there was only one howl, so it shouldn’t pose a threat to Lu Yao and Wang Jin.
