CH 26.1

(Two in one) [My mom, this body makes me so greedy]

… 

In the early morning of the next day, just as the sky was getting bright, Lu Liran opened the live broadcast room.

There were almost no people in the live broadcast room at this point in time, only three or four night owls and jet-lagged parties came in.

[Yi? Brother Lu, you’re so early today!]

[This is the first time I saw an anchor who started broadcasting so early in the wilderness category, what are they doing?] 

The camera ball was aimed at Lu Liran’s terrible expression. He was half leaning on the hammock, with deep gloom under his eyes.

“Good morning, I reckon it’s probably not even five in the morning yet, but to be honest, I can’t sleep anymore.” Lu Liran wiped his face, and above his head was a “canopy” made of crossed broad leaves. Occasionally, water droplets would drip down the slender leaf tips.

“In the middle of the night, it suddenly started raining here, and it didn’t stop until half an hour ago.” Lu Liran said.

His eyes were full of tiredness, and he curled up again, then exhaled a white breath while speaking.

“The temperature has dropped by nearly ten degrees. It’s wet and cold, and I also have to worry about the leaf shed above my head that blocks the rain, it will collapse if it’s too heavy. Every now and then I have to poke it to let the rain pour down.” Lu Liran sighed, “I probably only slept for a few dozen minutes this night, so I’m really tired.”

“At this time, it can better reflect the benefits of not sleeping on the ground. Let me show you the depth of the water.”

Lu Liran controlled the camera ball to fly outside, and the bonfire that was about a person’s calf last night was seen, but at this moment, it was submerged by the stagnant water, leaving only a sharp pointed head.

If people were to sleep on the ground, they’ll be tormented at night. 

[Hiss, luckily the anchor had the foresight to build a canopy]

[To survive in the wild, it should be done in great details, in every aspects]

Lu Liran squeezed the center of his brows, then raised his voice to ask about Ke Ji’s situation, and after getting an affirmative answer from the man, he said: “We will set off when the sky is brighter. I hope the water level will go down by then.”

“Okay.” Ke Ji said. 

Speaking of Ke Ji’s situation, he was unluckier than Lu Liran.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, the sound of the rain made it difficult for him to fall asleep, and on the tree where he slept, there was a snake with a garland pattern slowly crawling down.

It has a triangular snake head with gorgeous scales, all of which represent how poisonous it is.

Ke Ji: “…” 

He couldn’t recognize what kind of snake it was, and he wasn’t as good at identifying animals and plants in the wild as Lu Liran was, but it didn’t prevent him from beating the snake.

The snake spit out its fork tongue and raised its upper body, as if it was exploring something.

At the same time, the snake slightly arched its body, while Ke Ji suddenly opened his clothes, and caught the attacking garland snake.

He covered the snake’s head, then clamped the snake’s neck and restrained the snake’s body, and then took out a dagger and stabbed the snake straight seven inches down. When the snake stopped struggling, he cut off the snake’s head through his clothes, and threw it far away. 

Even if it’s dead, the snake head will still attack, that’s a muscle reactive attack at the nerve center.

This snake is venomous, and it would be too bad to be poisoned after being bitten by its reflexive attack after death.

Normally, the smell of blood is too strong when beheading a snake, and this will attract bigger and more dangerous beasts, so it must be dealt with immediately.

But it was now a rainy night, and the rain had accumulated up to the calves, which could completely wash away the blood, so Ke Ji was not in a hurry to toss about. 

He tied the snake’s neck tightly with his clothes to prevent the snake’s blood from splashing everywhere.

It’s perfect to add for tomorrow’s meal.

The hammock on his side was shaking a fine rustling sound, but the sound of the rain perfectly concealed his movement.

Ke Ji settled down and lay down again. 

After another hour, the rain gradually stopped.

After Lu Liran tidied up, he broke off a long branch and pounded it in the stagnant water twice. After confirming that there were no additional “surprises” under the turbid stagnant water, he turned over and jumped out of the hammock.

“Ke Ji, we’re about to set off.” Lu Liran walked under Ke Ji’s hammock and poked the hammock with a branch to greet him.

Ke Ji agreed, he grabbed the vine snake wrapped in clothes, then flipped out the hammock. 

It’s just that he forgot that he chopped off the snake’s head earlier. The snake’s blood splashed out, splashing more or less on his body and face.

He wiped the blood on his face, but the area where the blood was stained was getting bigger and bigger, but he didn’t notice it.

So at this moment when he jumped off the hammock, what Lu Liran saw was a pretty face, which was half-stained with blood.

Seeing such an unexpected surprise was frightening. 

Seeing Ke Ji’s appearance, Lu Liran shrank his pupils slightly, and grabbed the man’s wrist: “What’s going on?”

[Why is he full of blood?]

[Suddenly, he became a demon beauty, with a lot of feelings!!] 

[Don’t say it, he’s even more terrifying than Brother Lu’s face]

[Did you get stung by some bug?]

[Ah ah, the beauty can’t be disfigured!]

Ke Ji came to his senses, he smiled and said: “I’m fine, I just happened to see a snake knocked unconscious by falling off a tree trunk, and it landed on my hammock. I’m afraid it would wake up and trouble me, so I chopped off its head, and it’s just right for an extra meal.” 

As he spoke, he waved his clothes. The clothes were covered with dried dark blood, and it was bulging, obviously, there was something inside.

[Afraid of it making trouble, so I just chopped off the head or something…]

[Ying, don’t use such a gentle tone and expression to say such scary things ah!!—— WangWhoDrankPepsi gifted the anchor 1x Sukiyaki Pot: Help me get over the shock]

[Extra meal…Ke Meiren and Brother Lu have been staying there for a long time, and now they gradually adapting] 

[ Gradually adapting—— noun, definition: you can eat whatever you see]

When Lu Liran heard what Ke Ji said, he didn’t know how to react for a while.

A snake knocked unconscious by falling off a tree trunk? This sounds impossible to unravel.

But since Ke Ji said so, he didn’t bother to get to the bottom of it. He stretched out his hand to take the small bundle dangling in front of his eyes, he opened it and saw a snake body stretched out that was about as long as his entire arm. 

The body of the snake is brilliant, with orange-red scales all over its body, dotted with black scales like wreath, and it ringed around every palm’s distance.

Seeing this, Lu Liran took a breath and looked at Ke Ji: “You’re so lucky.”

“This is a black-ringed flying continental star, named for its ability to leap. It can easily jump onto a tree branch five meters away, and its speed is amazing.” Lu Liran said.

“See the pattern and color, the more gorgeous it is, generally speaking, the more poisonous it is.” Lu Liran looked at Ke Ji, “Three milligrams of venom is enough to poison a sheep. After being bitten, it will cause paralysis of the nerve center. If anti-venom is not injected in time within three hours, it will cause death.” 

Ke Ji blinked, showing a pure and innocent smile: “I’m really lucky.”

Lu Liran: “…”

He sneered. Ordinary people would be terrified when they heard what he said, not just have this reaction.

Lu Liran took out the snake gall the size of a thumb, but didn’t eat it, and put it in his terminal. 

“Snake gallbladder is cold in nature, it dispels wind and removes dampness, and can relieve the pain of old injuries and old afflictions.” Lu Liran said.

“The market price of a domesticated snake gallbladder is around 3,000 star coins. The snake gallbladder of this black-ringed flying continental star has better medicinal properties, and the market price can be driven up to 20,000.” He looked at Ke Ji, “Just treat it as if I bought it from you.”

Wild snake gall is hard to find. Their poisons are extremely poisonous, even Lu Liran is not in the mood to take the risk of catching them, so it’s very rare to come across one, so he can’t afford not to collect it.

Ke Ji heard his words and said: “What is there to talk about buying or not between the two of us. I was saved by you, and this snake just ran into my hand, I did not spend any effort and got it without any reason.” 

Lu Liran frowned.

“Well, if you really feel sorry, then just give back a set of clothes, since I won’t be able to wear them anymore after wrapping the snake.” Ke Ji smiled authentically, he didn’t realize that his words were more or less teasing.

Really not a decent O.

[Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I feel like I have to change my name to sister-in-law] 

[Ke Meiren: What’s mine is yours. You save my life, so I’ll offer my life to you]

Lu Liran’s face flushed, but fortunately, he was tanned so it didn’t show.

He pursed his lips and said: “The value of wild snake gallbladder…”

“No matter how valuable wild snake gall is, it’s not as valuable as my life.” Ke Ji interrupted Lu Liran, refused without doubt, and changed the topic, “Is this snake going to be roasted now or stored for now?” 

Lu Liran thought about it as well. The life of the second generation of the wealthy family, not to mention, there should also be the bounty of 150,000 from Rocke Feller. The big deal is to take less of Ke Ji’s reward at that time as a thank you.

It’s impossible not to receive it.

After thinking about it, he didn’t shirk any more, and when he heard Ke Ji’s question, he replied: “Put it away first. The snake meat must be fully roasted before it can be eaten. It is inconvenient to start a fire right now. Let’s first eat two hanging bell fruits to fill the stomach, and then we will leave.”

Lu Liran took out two hanging bell fruits that had been roasted until their shell cracked last night, then pried them open with a knife, and ate them one by one with Ke Ji.
