Even the tenderest pine tips don't taste very good.
Mu Qing didn't intend to pick more, picked up his backpack and continued to explore in the forest.
"hey-hey."
"Look, here's a dead pine tree."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to dig out the roots to eat, I haven't reached this point yet."
Knocking off the dry bark outside with a machete, Mu Qing pried a piece of dried pine wood out.
Get in front of the live ball.
"Look, you can see traces of oil soaking from here."
"These dried knots have a higher oil content than fresh ones, are very easy to burn, and last longer, making them a good material for making torches."
"With it, I can make a torch tomorrow and hehehe."
Muqing chuckled.
He is really in desperate need of a prey that can provide a lot of meat.
"Spears are easy to get, just cut down a small tree of suitable length, and you'll be fine."
"But to make a torch, you must use this flammable material."
"After all, if you really encounter a fierce beast head-on, the speed of the fire is about equal to the chance of survival."
The dried bark was of little value, Mu Qing pried it apart and put it aside.
"This old pine tree has so many ants that there may be a windfall."
After getting all the bark done, Muqing dug out the entire stump.
Use a machete to cut through the gaps in the stump.
In an instant, a group of ants scattered in all directions.
【Well, my trypophobia is about to break out】
[The scalp is numb. 】
[The ant eggs in the ant nest are delicious, walnut-flavored, crunchy. 】
[Ant: Don't come here! ! ! 】
[This time I'm going to be caught in a pot. 】
[This is really delicious, money can't buy it. 】
"As expected, there is an ant nest inside."
"The rest are ant eggs. The protein content of ant eggs exceeds 60.00%, and there are many nutrients. They are rare tonics."
"that is"
Just haven't eaten.
Looking at the tree stump covered with ants, Mu Qing felt the goosebumps on the top of his head stand up, and had a strong urge to throw the tree stump away.
But, when the ants are gone, the ant eggs should still be delicious.
right?
right?
right?
"There are too many ants, so I can't eat them like this. I'd better take them home first and then deal with them."
Mu Qing went to the side and broke off a pine branch, gently sweeping the stump.
The ants, who had been running for their lives, felt the sweep of the pine needles, and quickly moved around.
When there were fewer ants, Mu Qing took out the black plastic bag from the side pocket of the backpack, and burrowed the entire tree stump together with the ant nest.
Swipe away all the ants outside the bag, twist it twice to tie a knot.
"I've already got what I want most, and I've also got a windfall."
"It's getting late today, come here next time and make a squirrel trap."
Muqing picked up his backpack and walked back with the bag.
At the beginning, it was almost like flying. After taking the nectar, it was much more stable to prevent the nectar from spilling out.
After arriving under the kapok tree, Muqing put the nectar and bags away, climbed to the tree and picked two kapok flowers.
Take out the empty bottle of mineral water in the backpack, and break off two slender leaves from the side.
Filter out the pollen and flower branches in the nectar just like filtering fresh bamboo drain.
What flows into the mineral water bottle is dark brown and black rice ball nectar without any impurities.
"There is still a lot of nectar on the inner wall of this bamboo tube, and I want to take it back."
"Okay, now we can go back to camp."
Muqing put the backpack back and put everything away, then took the backpack and walked back to the top of the mountain to carry the bamboo.
Even when the weight is similar, Muqing feels that the thin bamboo is much easier to handle.
Pushing and pulling it to the top of the hill, standing below and pulling down hard.
Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang.
Looking at the big bamboo tube rushing down, Mu Qing really felt that he was too wise.
"Before I came, I had already made the vine wall and reinforced it at the bottom."
"So this time, it will definitely not be able to escape."
Mu Qing walked down unhurriedly, saw a small wild fruit on the side of the road with his sharp eyes, and stopped to eat it for a while.
【Don't be so leisurely, hey, don't you really want to see your bamboos? 】
[It seems that there is no rush to go. 】
