BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: Bird’s Egg?
[Why does the host know it’s wolf dung just by glancing at it?]
[Yeah, how did you figure that out?]
[Coach, I want to learn this!]
The audience was very curious about Bi Fang’s judgment. Could he really tell so much from just a pile of dung?
“Because there are several very obvious characteristics,” Bi Fang wove through the forest, sharing his analysis.
“I don’t know if you noticed before, but the dung has a diameter between 3 to 5 centimeters and contains a large amount of hair and bone fragments.”
“The color of the hair varies from light to dark. This is rabbit or deer hair, and the color that’s darker, almost black, is because the predator consumed a lot of fresh, blood-rich meat, which, combined with the size of the dung, indicates the predator’s size, while the hair reveals its dietary habits.”
“And the medium-sized carnivores that can catch rabbits and deer are wolves.”
[Learned something new, time to confront the wolves!]
[I just checked mine…]
[Upstairs, gross!]
[Aren’t you guys scared…]
[Scared +1.]
[+2.]
The discovery of wolf feces made many viewers anxious.
In order to stay away from a possible encounter with wolves, Bi Fang didn’t stop for a moment, fearing that if he slowed down, he might be followed by a pack of wolves.
Fortunately, what he had sold before was the Ancestor Bird Suit, not explorer hiking boots.
In the Primeval Forest, the road was rugged, and dense thickets concealed many sharp stones. Without a good pair of shoes, it would be impossible to move even an inch!
However, as he hurried on, Bi Fang’s condition gradually worsened, with a burning pain accompanying the emptiness in his stomach.
“I can’t go on, I’m very hungry now. For today’s live stream, I didn’t even eat lunch, so before we continue on, we need to find some food first.”
After saying this, Bi Fang jumped off a boulder and wiped his sweat.
This body’s fitness was truly lacking. Just an hour of walking had already left him gasping for breath, and his legs started to feel weak and numb.
But Bi Fang did his best to moderate his breathing and didn’t show his struggle in front of the audience.
[My heart goes out to Brother Fang. Wilderness live streaming is really not that easy.]
[Yeah, it’s already tough without food, but just the thought of wolves possibly chasing behind chills me to the bone.]
[In face of beauty, loyalty steps aside. Gift to the host Shark Fins*10 —Serving some shark fins to tide over the hunger for the host.]
[+1, I’ll send some fish balls.]
[Shark fins received.]
“Thank you all for your concern. You don’t have to worry too much; these are all normal Wilderness Survivalist operations, and I’m already used to them after training,” Bi Fang reassured the audience.
Seeing the gifts pour in, despite his urgency, Bi Fang still gave a big smile to the audience in the sunlight.
[Brother Fang has such a nice smile]
[I believe in love again]
[Floating Life Is but a Dream gifts the host a Plane*1—Go for it, Master Fang, I love you!]
[Whoa, is that a female fan?]
[Shocking, female fan appears during outdoor live stream, and the reason is him!]
[What’s so shocking? With Master Fang being so handsome, is it strange to have female fans?]
An hour passed, and the popularity of the live stream continued to rise, with the number of online viewers reaching over eighty!
And this wasn’t even the peak time for evening live streaming yet!
Lavish with instant noodles, sausages, and eggs today!
But Bi Fang didn’t let it get to his head and remained focused on searching for food, when suddenly, a pile of fresh weeds appeared in his view.
Bi Fang’s eyes shone green as he began tearing at it like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
[Is he going to eat grass?]
[Has it become so difficult that he’s starting to eat grass and chew on bark?]
[The almighty Master Fang, not so impressive after all (facetious)]
Bi Fang’s face darkened; he wasn’t about to eat grass; he quickly explained.
“This pile of grass has clearly been foraged through, and since there are no people in the Primeval Forest, it was most likely deer or some other herbivore that rummaged for food here!”
“Since that’s the case, we can find some leftovers, be it earthworms or whatever insects, they are all high in protein, and can really help replenish our strength.”
Over here, Bi Fang had been digging for a while when he indeed saw several purplish-red worms writhing and entangling, looking like red silk threads.
They were earthworms.
Great stuff!
Bi Fang excitedly said, “Look! There indeed are a few earthworms left, the protein content of these creatures is nearly four times that of beef, making them an excellent source of energy.”
“A gift from nature!”
Bi Fang’s words hit the audience like a depth charge, shocking and stirring them inside out!
To eat earthworms?
What a joke?
Utterly insane!
[That’s so bloody disgusting!]
[It’s over, the streamer has gone mad with hunger!]
[Earthworms? Are those things even edible?]
[Spare me, I’m still eating potato chips here.]
Bi Fang chuckled, reached out to pinch an earthworm, and pulled it out whole, bringing it under the camera for everyone to take a good look.
“To you, it’s just a worm, but for me, it’s a precious source of protein.”
“With my height and weight, even if I lay still all day, I’d consume over eighteen hundred calories, not to mention that I’ve been on the move since noon and have already expended a tremendous amount of energy.”
“So, I must do whatever it takes to replenish energy. In such extreme and harsh environments, as long as you can maintain bodily functions, no matter how disgusting the thing is, you’ve got to overcome it.”
“Staying alive is the foundation of everything!”
Having said that, he stripped the earthworm of the mud on its body, holding the squirming and twisting worm, he prepared to eat it raw by tilting his head back.
[I’m gonna puke]
[Please, no more, sob sob sob!]
[My mom’s asking why I’m watching the livestream on my knees]
[No, no, Brother Fang, don’t eat. Look at the tree in front of you, there’s a bird nest!]
[Right, there seems to be a bird nest on the tree ahead!]
[Brother Fang, stop eating, there’s good stuff!]
[There are bird eggs, why eat earthworms?]
Hm? A bird nest?
Bi Fang, upon seeing the comments, paused and lifted his head, indeed spotting a bird nest on a large tree ahead.
And the seasons of summer and autumn happen to be when birds breed…
Bi Fang’s eyes suddenly lit up, but before he took any action, he frowned again.
If he weren’t so hungry, no one could accept eating earthworms raw, but there might not be any goods in the bird nest, and it would be a waste of energy to check, and what if it’s a protected animal…
Live broadcasting Wilderness Survivalist isn’t that easy; one must always be cautious of every word and action. If you eat any protected animals, the state would surely ban you without a doubt.
For a moment, Bi Fang hesitated.
[He’s reluctant, isn’t he? He must be reluctant, right?]
[Great Sage, put away your magical powers. The earthworms won’t run away; if all else fails, just come back and eat them!]
Hey, that makes sense.
Enlightened by the comment, Bi Fang realized indeed, whether or not he went up to check, he could eat if there was something, and if not, he could always return to continue digging earthworms.
With that in mind, he stopped hesitating, stuffed the earthworm into his pocket, and began to size up the large tree in front of him.
[I love this pocket-stuffing detail.]
[Frugal Master Fang.jpg]
[But this tree is really tall, didn’t notice it just now.]
[Dang, that’s got to be over ten meters tall, right? Who can even reach that!]
[So we can’t avoid eating earthworms, huh…]
As the drone rose, everyone then realized just how high the bird nest was, even more than ten meters off the ground, completely out of reach!
