Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 211 Sissi: Will it taste good? (Godfather, please give me a monthly ticket)
[This is called a sneak attack, isn't this like delivering food? ]

[These scorpions are so heartwarming, but there are too few of them. Can we have more? ]

[That’s right, there are only seven or eight of them, not enough for one pot, can we have seventy or eighty!!!]

[If there are 7,000 or 8,000 of them, wouldn't that be terrifying? ]

[Oh my god, stop talking, my scalp is starting to feel numb. ]

[It shouldn't be that outrageous, seven or eight thousand scorpions, that would be a horror movie.]

Meng Chao did not use chopsticks, but directly used a machete.

"This is a desert golden scorpion. The sting of its tail is poisonous, but the toxicity is not very strong for humans. Only a large amount of toxin will kill them."

"Just cut off its tail sting. Even though it's not very poisonous, it can still easily cause you pain."

"Scorpions like to hide under rocks and in shadows. When you sleep in the desert at night, be careful that they can crawl into your shoes or blankets on the ground."

Everyone nodded and remembered Meng Chao's words.

This is knowledge about survival in the desert, and it is worth remembering.

Meng Chao used his own lunch boxes to hold the scorpions, and once they were inside, it was very difficult for them to crawl out.

Meng Chao's words gave everyone a deeper understanding of the desert golden scorpion, and made them realize that even seemingly weak creatures could become potential threats in certain environments.

[It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to when dealing with scorpions. I've learned a lot. 】

[Brother Chao is indeed a survival expert, he has even studied scorpions so thoroughly. ]

[It seems that I really need to pay attention to these little things when I go to the desert in the future. ]

Meng Chao handled the scorpion carefully. He knew that although these desert golden scorpions were not very poisonous, they could still cause injuries if not handled properly.

While operating, he continued to teach everyone skills about desert survival.

"Oppa, eat some Welwitschia first, we'll collect some more later." Lee Ji-eun handed her lunch box to Meng Chao, which contained the Welwitschia she picked for Meng Chao.

"Okay." Meng Chao took the lunch box and chopsticks, picked up some Welwitschia and started eating.

He found that the taste was indeed very much like onions, and those people were not just making up nicknames.

Some of them taste very good, probably because they are close to the roots.

The leaves of the Welwitschia will continue to grow outwards and gradually dry up at the ends.

So, the closer you get to the roots, the more tender it is.

It would taste better if the skin was peeled off.

But now they need more food that is difficult to digest, so that they can feel fuller.

After eating, Meng Chao took Li Zhien and Liu Yan to collect centenaria.

An Yifei had no intention of taking any action. She took her chopsticks and put on her night vision goggles, ready to look for the scorpion.

She thought it was fun to look for scorpions. Anyway, her clothes and shoes could provide enough protection, so she didn't need to worry about being hurt by scorpions.

No matter how good the taste and texture of the Welwitschia is, it is not as good as the taste of roasted scorpion.

At noon, they ate a date palm, and An Yifei felt a little unsatisfied.

Meng Chao noticed An Yifei's actions and reminded her: "Sister, although the scorpion is small, you still have to be careful. If you need help, feel free to contact us using the communicator."

An Yifei nodded. She knew that although it was a bit risky, Meng Chao had more experience and his reminders were always worth listening to.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." An Yifei said, and walked towards the bushes. The night vision goggles allowed her to easily spot various creatures.

Meng Chao, Li Zhien and Liu Yan went to the place where the centenary orchid grows.

Meng Chao instructed the two on how to pick the plants, making sure not to damage their roots so they can continue to grow. [These plants are truly miraculous, they can still grow in such a dry place.]

[Yes, the vitality of the desert always surprises people. ]

[This Welwitschia was planted intentionally by someone. I think some desert tribes would bring different seeds and spread them in the oasis.]

[Will this kill the Welwitschias? They are rare plants! ]

When the people in the live broadcast room saw Meng Chao and his team collecting Welwitschia leaves, they started discussing it.

Meng Chao still left more than ten centimeters of leaves for the Welwitschia to ensure their survival.

The main thing is that the environment here is good and there is enough water.

Although the Welwitschia can survive on some moisture, it can live better if there is sufficient water.

Meng Chao overheard the discussion in the live broadcast room and explained: "We are very careful when picking the Welwitschia so as not to damage its roots. This plant is very adaptable, and proper picking will not have much impact on its growth. On the contrary, it can promote the growth of new leaves."

[I see. It seems that there are some rules for picking.]

【Brother Chao is really knowledgeable, he even knows this. 】

[The Welwitschia looks really delicious. I want to try it too. 】

Meng Chao responded with a smile: "If I have the opportunity to come to the desert, I must try it. But remember to respect nature and protect these precious plants."

After picking the centenarian orchids, Meng Chao, Li Zhien and Liu Yan returned to the base of the poplar tree.

An Yifei had not come back yet, and Zhang Jin was carving the wooden stick that Meng Chao was going to use to make a hunting bow.

"I'll go wash it." Liu Yan offered to wash the Welwitschia.

Meng Chao didn't say anything and went over with her.

An Yifei went looking for the scorpion alone. Meng Chao was a little worried and wanted to go over to take a look.

Scorpions can hide in the sand and take cover, and so can those snakes.

After all, night vision goggles cannot see through things, so people hiding in the sand may not be able to see.

When An Yifei was found, she was bending over and looking for a scorpion.

I have to say that An Yifei still has a good figure at this age.

"How is it? Did you gain anything?" Meng Chao asked casually.

"We just found two, and one of them is still in the trap. The intestines can still attract scorpions. Maybe we can go and see if we can catch more scorpions tonight."

"Why are there no lizards? It would be nice to have some." An Yifei felt that although scorpions were good, there was too little meat and it was not satisfying enough to eat.

"I heard that there are chameleons in the desert, right? Chameleons should be quite big, right?" An Yifei turned her head and glanced at Meng Chao, thinking that he should know.

"Well, there are chameleons in the desert, but I don't know if I can find them in this area."

"It's probably just a little bigger than a lizard, no more than half a pound. Animals in the desert are relatively small, because their large size requires more water and they lose water faster," Meng Chao explained.

"There is also a kind of little fox with big ears, also living in the desert. What's it called?" An Yifei said while wiping the sweat off her face.

Looking at the beautiful An Yifei, Meng Chao couldn't help but think of the movie "The Demonic Bride" in which she starred.

"The fennec fox is a very good-looking and cute fox." Meng Chao moved his eyes away from An Yifei.

"I don't know if we'll have any luck encountering them."

An Yifei paused and asked, "Will it taste good?"
