Chapter 137
"Is this thing really edible?"

Gu Jingmo leaned on the stone wall with his hands folded on his knees, looking at the man in front of him, his beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

Her voice was still weak, but it was much better than last night. The earthworm porridge added some strength, and the chamomile tea also played a calming and calming effect.

"of course can!"

Chen Jing gave an affirmative answer. After washing it with water, he borrowed the dagger that Gu Jingmo carried with him, cut off the centipede's head and the first pair of claws, and threw the long insects into the carbon fire.

"Most of the giant centipedes in nature have toxins, and the toxicity varies depending on the type. The centipede's poison glands are concentrated on the head, and their first pair of chelicerae have poisonous hooks. They use this venom when catching prey or attacking opponents."

"There are many types of toxins in nature. Animals generally carry organic toxins, which can be decomposed into amino acids and proteins under high temperature, stomach acid, or specific environments, and will not harm the body."

"If you confirm that there are no wounds in your body, including the mouth, esophagus, and stomach wall, you can actually drink the venom secreted by venomous snakes directly into your stomach. It is an excellent source of protein supplement."

"And the inorganic poisons carried by plants and certain minerals are more troublesome. If they enter the body, they will seriously damage the function of your organs, and it is difficult to treat them."

"The centipedes I caught are not too big in Asia. They are only a dozen centimeters long. They are generally poisonous. They are more delicious than lard residue when they are roasted. They are fragrant, and you will know them after a while."

Chen Jing smiled at Gu Jingmo, and at the same time explained to the audience.

Gu Jingmo nodded. After being told by the former, the last bit of tension in her heart disappeared.

In the past adventure career, it is not that she has not eaten some heavy food, but it is indeed the first time to eat centipede.

She fell silent, watching Chen Jing quietly, who was still interacting with the audience.

Through previous observations, she also knew Chen Jing's occupation and identity.

Outdoor anchors, adventurers, and those who were always scoffed at by treasure hunters in the past-wilderness survivors.

In my impression, no matter at home or abroad, people who use the label of survival in the wilderness seem to be false "adventurers".

In the outdoor adventure circle, treasure hunters and extreme sports enthusiasts are in the upper middle class, and "wilderness survivors" always seem to be in the lower class of the chain of contempt.

They just camp and explore in rural suburbs, some rural hillsides, or tourist attractions, and never dare to enter the real wilderness for real survival.

Because of this, those people are jokingly called "cowards" by their colleagues.

However, the guy in front of him seemed to be a little different.

The other party dared to enter the Qinling no-man's land, and even saved himself, who was dying, and according to him, all of this was not a coincidence.

It's just that Chen Jing didn't explain the details, so she didn't ask further.

Anyway, it's still a long time, and everything has its own priorities, and filling the stomach is the top priority right now.

However, her keen intuition told herself that there must be many, many secrets in the man in front of her.

Chen Jing didn't know what Gu Jingmo was thinking, and he didn't have the energy to figure it out.

How should I describe the first impression this woman gave him?

Not like a gritty professional treasure hunter.

More like a dream chaser who regards adventure as a fun and hobby. From a certain point of view, there are many similarities between the two.

Gu Jingmo is very good-looking, with braided hair that is not too long, healthy wheat-colored skin, well-proportioned and strong figure, and there should be no trace of fat.

The thick adventure suit covered her whole body, but it was expected that those jade legs must be slender and round.

But other than appearance, he wanted to know the purpose of the other party coming to Qinling.

However, in the past half a day, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, neither asked too much, and only spoke a few words when talking about their respective status and action plans.

But he noticed that when he was in the cave, if Gu Jingmo was awake, she would spend a lot of time observing him.

There was no vigilance and guard in the eyes of the other party, without any trace of hostility, but full of curiosity.

Her eyes were not hidden at all, she just stared at him so generously, which made Chen Jing feel a little bit on pins and needles.

Perhaps this is the personality formed from living abroad and growing up in different environments!

Her frankness is completely different from domestic girls.

Chen Jing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and asked without looking back:

"What are you thinking? My face is not a braised pork head. If I want to drool, I have to wait until the centipede is cooked..."

"Pfft~"

Gu Jingmo was so teased that she chuckled, and then blushed a little and looked away. Her gaze was indeed too blatant.

"Thank you for saving me, if it wasn't for you, I would be..."

She didn't say those two words. This was the first time she formally expressed her gratitude to Chen Jing.

"Should be..."

After all, there will be rewards for system tasks, but soon, Chen Jing added.

"What I mean is that outdoor adventurers, when faced with this situation, most of them will lend a helping hand within their ability."

"No one can predict whether I will have the same situation?"

"It would be good for everyone if that kind of consensus could be achieved."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I learned about this matter through your fans, and the topographic map you left on Baiquan Terrace helped me a lot."

"Speaking of which, why did you carve a map there?"

"It was a temporary idea. Before I came to Qinling Mountains, I checked a lot of information and knew that many people lost their way and died here. The topographic map was obtained by my employer through special means. It is said to be from the 30s. It was a time of war."

"I don't know how many people paid to draw it."

"I thought that if someone saw the topographic map engraved there, it should be helpful to them, but I didn't expect that the first person who benefited from it was myself..." Gu Jingmo sighed.

Chen Jing nodded.

"I see!"

After speaking, he reached out to pick out the roasted centipedes one by one, blew off the carbon dust, and put them in a clean iron box. The air was filled with the tempting aroma of food.

"Try it!"

Chen Jing carried the iron box and walked towards Gu Jingmo, leaning against the cave wall as well.

The centipede was slightly blackened in the charcoal fire, but it still looked extremely ferocious. Under the encouraging eyes of the former, the woman who ate roasted centipede for the first time in her life made a bold attempt.

Click!

One bite, burnt and crispy, without any weird taste, the meat under the hard shell is a little soft, with a natural sweetness.

It seems that most insects have this smell after being roasted or fried.

Gu Jingmo was very surprised. Before Chen Jing could ask, she habitually uttered a sentence in English.

"Amazing!"

Compared with earthworms, this thing is obviously much more delicious.

Chen Jing also moved quickly, and more than twenty big centipedes were wiped out by the two in an instant.

After eating the roasted centipede, there are walnuts.

But this little food is obviously not enough for two adults to eat. To restore mobility, at least more than [-] calories must be replenished in a day.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Chen Jing left the cave again.

"I may come back later this time, and I have to walk a long way. You pay attention to adding firewood and keeping the heat in the cave, so that you can slightly reduce your own consumption."

"Be careful. This place is very weird. I can't tell you the details. Anyway... be careful!"

Gu Jingmo exhorted with a solemn expression.

"I see."

Waiting always makes people uneasy, until nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Jingmo, who had taken a nap, still did not see Chen Jing at the entrance of the cave.

She began to become anxious, as if she had returned to a few days ago.

There is definitely something bad in this lost forest. She could feel that after walking out of the shelter, the oppressive feeling not only did not disappear, but became thicker and heavier, making it hard to breathe.

She always feels that this jungle is alive, those trees will move, and whenever she wants to escape, everything seems to come up to block her, telling you "this way is not going to work".

At eleven o'clock, she waited until her eyelids became sore, and she fell into a dream again.

"help me……"

In the deep dense forest, Chen Jing's body was pierced by sharp branches, dripping with blood, his face was full of despair, and he stretched out his hands towards her.

scared~
Gu Jingmo woke up suddenly, the cave was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers. The bonfire in the cave was about to go out, only the charcoal fire was reddish.

She stood up with difficulty, picked up her dagger, tied it to her leg, and walked out of the cave.

"You must be fine..."

Thinking silently in her heart, she opened her eyes and looked around, as if she remembered something, she turned around again and groped back into the cave.

She saw a red camera placed on a rock.

"Chen Jing!"

Gu Jingmo called softly, his tone trembling slightly.

"Are you going to be okay? Where are you now? Can you hear me?"

"I'll wait for you for another minute..."

She didn't even want to wait for half an hour. Even if she couldn't help, staying here was a great torment.

Big deal die together!

That guy risked his life to save himself. If something happened to him, she would naturally not be able to survive, and she didn't want to live alone.

Of course, there was another possibility, but that possibility was subconsciously ignored by her.

Chen Jing abandoned her...

But it didn't make sense, after all, the other party had put in so much effort to save her, and she didn't believe that Chen Jing would do that.

But rationality told her that it was the best choice for Chen Jing to leave alone, and she was a burden.

"It's better if you really leave, it's better for you to live!"

Gu Jingmo struggled with herself in the conflict. After 10 minutes, she grabbed the camera device the size of a child's fist and was about to leave the cave recklessly.

Suddenly, shouts came from outside the cave.

"I'm back, Miss Gu, guess what I got..."

She quickly rushed out of the cave, her chest heaving violently, and outside the dark cave, under the weak searchlight of the cloud platform, Chen Jing was running towards the cave at a fast pace.

He seemed to be carrying something on his shoulders, but before he got close, a strong smell of blood came over his face.

For a moment, Gu Jingmo wanted to cry, but she held back after all, she is not that fragile!
Back in the cave, Chen Jing slammed the things on his shoulders on the ground, turned around, and put his hands on Gu Jingmo's shoulders, with a particularly excited tone.

"A little wild boar weighing nearly [-] kilograms, I chased it for six hours, over mountains and mountains, and caught it in the swamp, trying to escape from Lao Tzu. How could it be so easy?"

"Hahaha...a shocking harvest, the two of us are blessed!"

"Wuhu..."

Chen Jing raised his hands, joy and excitement came from a bright future, while Gu Jingmo pursed his lips and looked at him steadfastly.
