273 hard work
Early on the third day, the four of them got up and piled the smoked meat and offal on the sled, tidied up the camp, and then continued to set off south.
It was Ji Rushuang who was the first to explore the road, Ji Wei and his wife followed closely with long bows in hand, while Zhao Hao followed behind pulling the sled.
On this day, their luck was not as good as the previous day. They did not encounter any beasts close to them, and they only hunted two of them.
However, these two strange beasts were both big guys. The combined weight of a nearly mature Shan Yao and a strong Qiong Qi even exceeded the two strange beasts and a close-to-god beast they hunted yesterday.
Now, not even a sled can fit on it.
There was no other way. After hunting Qiongqi, Zhao Hao could only ask Ji Rushuang and Ji Wei to stop and set up camp to rest.
Although it was still early, they couldn't move on. They couldn't even put the sled down, so how could they move forward?
If this were normal times, they would have gone back long ago because they had already hunted enough prey.
However, it didn't work this time, because this time Zhao Hao came out specifically to explore the way.
If they had just gone a hundred miles and then turned back, their efforts of nearly three days would have been in vain. Next time, they would have to come along the same route, and then they would not have run for one day, but for two days.
Therefore, although there were many prey, they could not go back.
Zhao Hao could only deal with the two hunted strange beasts first.
The mountain jelly can be said to be the largest among the alien beasts, especially this mountain jelly. If it weren't for its own conditions that prevented it from continuing to evolve, this guy would have become something close to a mythical beast.
The weight of such a beast that was close to its peak was quite terrifying. Zhao Hao estimated that this mountain paste alone might weigh tens of thousands of kilograms.
Of course, these tens of thousands of kilograms are not all meat. There is so much stuff in its fat belly.
After removing the internal organs, the remaining meat is about six or seven thousand kilograms. Adding in the processed internal organs, a total of about eight thousand kilograms is considered good.
The other strong one, Qiongqi, is not light either. You know, an ordinary bison these days can weigh over a thousand kilograms. Qiongqi's weight is at least three times that of an ordinary bison.
As for this one, which is extremely strong and strong, it probably weighs about 5,000 kilograms. Excluding the contents of its belly, the bones, flesh and internal organs add up to at least about 3,000 kilograms.
Of course, having too many prey is not a bad thing, and not being able to move it is just a happy worry.
When there are more prey, there are more choices for eating.
On this day, Zhao Hao's staple food was fried steak, which means cutting boneless beef into large finger-thick slices, then marinating it with seasonings and spices, and then frying it in a special pottery pot.
He marinated more than 200 kilograms of steak, selected a fat piece of beef belly, and fried it in half a jar of oil.
That guy, fry the steak in fat, it's so delicious.
Both Ji Rushuang and Ji Wei were full of praise for their food. The only drawback was that frying the steak was a bit time-consuming.
Because they only brought a special pottery pot, they could only fry one steak at a time. Moreover, Ji Wei's appetite was quite big. He swallowed a steak of four to five kilograms in two gasps. Zhao Hao fried the steak.
The speed can't keep up with the speed this guy eats.
Fortunately, it was still early, and they still had plenty of time. No matter how good this food was, it could hold up to a hundred pounds at most. Moreover, the steak did not have to be completely cooked, medium-rare, four-rare, or five-rare.
You can wait.
If you are in a hurry to eat, just fry both sides and it will taste unique.
After the four of them had eaten and drank enough, they began to process the remaining bones, flesh and internal organs.
This time, Ji Rushuang and Ji Wei were responsible for building the wooden frame, laying out the bonfire, and smoking the meat. However, after Zhao Hao had marinated all the meat, he was not in a hurry to deal with the internal organs, because he still had to make a sled.
, otherwise, they will not be able to continue heading south tomorrow.
At this time, he was even thinking about taking Meng Lan and Meng Bao with them to pull the sled next time.
These three foodies seemed to have eaten all they could since they followed him. They ate enough bamboo shoots, bamboos, and even hell flowers, but they didn't do any work.
In fact, their strength is not small, and as their strength increases, their energy becomes more and more vigorous. Now they basically don't need to rest during the day. Pulling the sled will definitely not be a problem.
The only problem is that they usually only eat bamboo shoots and bamboo, and their appetites are very large. Dozens of kilograms of bamboo shoots and bamboos a day can only fit between their teeth. If they eat freely, they can eat five to six hundred kilograms a day.
Bamboo shoots and bamboo.
Of course, this problem is not impossible to solve. Just prepare two to three thousand kilograms of bamboo shoots and bamboo for them to pull by themselves. It should not be a problem to take them out for five or six days.
Perhaps, after returning home, we should make three strong sleds and let these three guys follow them to pull the prey.
Zhao Hao was thinking about how to make the three foodies have some energy to work while making a simple sled. Soon, a brand new sled was made.
This one is for Ji Wei. Although it is about the same size as the sled he pulls, the things on it are not very heavy. Except for two large packages of about one hundred kilograms, which is four to five thousand kilograms of bacon, Ji Wei pulls them.
It’s not very strenuous either.
On the fourth day, they changed their formation again.
This time Ji Rushuang led the way, Qin Ying followed closely with a bow and arrow, while Zhao Hao and Ji Wei each pulled a sled and followed from a distance.
The harvest on the fourth day was average. They only hunted a pig monster and a goat monster. In total, they only gained two to three thousand kilograms of meat and offal. With Ji Wei's sled, he could barely pull it.
It didn't work out on the fifth day, because they hunted a saber-toothed tiger that was close to a mythical beast and a pig demon.
These two guys added up to nearly ten thousand kilograms of meat and offal. If they were put on Ji Wei's sled, Ji Wei would not be able to pull it, and Zhao Hao's sled would not be able to accommodate it.
In desperation, Zhao Hao could only make another sled and let Qin Ying pull it, while Ji Rushuang hunted alone in front.
This journey was quite tiring. The three people had to pull more than 30,000 kilograms of things in total. They were so sweaty as they climbed over mountains and ridges.
On the sixth day, after walking hard for more than twenty miles, they encountered another group of wild wolves.
Although there were only a few dozen wild wolves in this group, there were four evolved beasts in them.
Fortunately, Ji Rushuang's strength now exceeds 70,000 kilograms. No matter how powerful the wild wolf is, he can't hurt him. Moreover, Zhao Hao and the others can leave their sled and come to help.
After a fierce fight, they finally killed all the wild wolves.
However, looking at the wolf corpses all over the ground, Zhao Hao felt a little worried.
With so many wild wolves and four evolved beasts, the total weight of bones, flesh and internal organs weighs several thousand kilograms. Qin Ying must not be able to pull it. Could he make another sled and let Ji Rushuang pull it?
This is obviously not possible, because if all four people pull the sled, no one will go hunting. No matter how far they run, it will be in vain!
