It's only around three o'clock in the afternoon, it's already completely dark, and the temperature has dropped sharply.

"Male muskrats secrete muskrat scent from April to September, which can fight inflammation, lower blood pressure, and is a raw material for making high-end perfumes."

"Obviously, it is different from the last one. It is a boy. It exudes a fragrance that female rats do not have. In addition, its fur is very complete and can be used as a simple version of leather gloves for Lu Li."

In the snow two kilometers away from the campsite, Duke was talking to himself while using a dagger to process tonight's ingredients.

The main reason why I do this is because I lack entertainment tools, I am too bored, and I am afraid that I will get sick from suppressing it.

In addition, recording this experience can be a souvenir for yourself in the future.

at the same time.

There was a rustling sound in the distance, but this did not arouse Duke's alertness.

It was a dire wolf, with thick limbs and protruding canine teeth, and its size was not much worse than that of a male lion.

At this moment, it was hiding behind a snowdrift, secretly observing this strange creature that it had never seen before.

Out of caution and a not too strong sense of hunger, the dire wolf did not launch a sneak attack rashly, but simply observed patiently.

Obviously, Duke, a creature that can stand on two legs and make weird sounds, has become a reserve food in its eyes.

"Let's go."

"Thank you for your devotion, little muskrat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke felt like something was spying on him and subconsciously turned his head——

There is nothing but white snow.

He thought he was being too preoccupied, so he carried the prepared ingredients and walked towards the campsite. However, out of habit, this guy still pulled out his pistol and stuck it in his waist for easy access at any time.

Not long after, two dim lights appeared in the snow, and the dire wolf lying in the snow stood up.

the other side.

After a lot of trouble, Pan Ming moved some pieces of ice back to the camp, and together with Lu Li, they crushed them into pieces, stuffed them into iron kettles and enamel jars, and heated them over a campfire.

"I have a hunch that something unexpected will happen tonight."

"Well... let's all take turns to keep vigil. After all, we are in prehistory, so it's always good to be careful."

At this time, footsteps sounded, and Duke came in: "This male muskrat should be grilled over charcoal. It's absolutely delicious."

"By the way, do you think mammoth meat is delicious? Dip it in sauce and have a prehistoric barbecue in the wilderness. It sounds very stylish."

As he spoke, he handed over the cleaned muskrat meat in his hand.

Lu Li skewered a muskrat with a cut tree branch and replied, "What are you thinking about? There are even few plants in this place. Mammoths will come?"

"However, there must be some places hidden in this mountain range suitable for their survival."

Pan Ming threw the muskrat meat that had been chopped in advance into the pot and suggested: "We're here now, so we have to bring some souvenirs back. Let's go hunting together when the sun comes up."

Anyway, he was bored and couldn't find anything to do, so Lu Li agreed without even thinking about it.

In this way, the three of them gathered around the campfire and chatted casually. However, they all subconsciously avoided their experiences in the previous world. After all, the experience was too bad and talking about it would affect their mood.

"Do you still remember the content on the evaluation form? I have won the title of outstanding student three times in total and can represent the school in the college entrance examination."

"What does this mean? Not only are we lucky, but some people have been admitted to other schools."

Listening to Duke's words, Pan Ming couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the more I know, the more I feel ignorant. I still haven't figured out what the situation of this university is, and I know it is just the tip of the iceberg."

…”

"There will always be a day when the truth will be known."

Lu Li was optimistic. His hands were so busy that he turned the skewers and said, "Otherwise, what will the school do to train us?"

"That's right."

Pan Ming was thoughtful, and after a while, he said: "The second monthly exam has ended. If nothing happens, the next time it should be the midterm exam."

"Climb higher and higher, never reaching the top."

Hearing this, Duke let out a long sigh and said, "Now that I see this reminder, I feel trembling in my heart."

"The next exam will only be more difficult. Try to improve your personal strength. Of course, your mentality must be stable."

As he spoke, Lu Li thought of the black-roofed church not long ago, and for a moment, he felt mixed.

Luck?

strength?

Perhaps, both are indispensable.

Stab...

The charcoal-roasted muskrat was sizzling and oily, the smell of meat was coming to your nostrils, and the broth in the iron kettle was simmering and bubbling.

It was important to make a living, and the three people's worries about the future were instantly wiped away.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Lu Li inserted a sharpened branch into the slush, sprinkled a handful of salt and a little cumin powder on it, then cut off the meaty hind legs with a dagger and started to chew them first.

Hiss~

It's a bit hot on the mouth, but it tastes very good, with a faint herbal aroma, and it's even tenderer than chicken.

Kaz!

Pan Ming cut a piece of ribs. Because the ribs were roasted for a long time, the skin was slightly charred, and it actually made a crispy sound when he took a bite.

Duke, like a gourmet, slowly tasted the charcoal-grilled muskrat meat, "Not to mention, this big rat is quite fragrant. With the hair and internal organs removed, it weighs more than half a catty. I don't know how the stew will be like, if there are side dishes."

alright."

After saying that, he took out the enamel jar and poured himself a bowl of clear broth.

Bah, bah, bah...

After exhaling a breath of hot breath, Duke said again: "It's not as good as expected, the taste is bland."

"well enough."

Lu Li took a small sip and found that it still had a faint aroma, but there was a little less salt and no condiments, so it wasn't that amazing.

As for the fishy smell, you can't taste it at all. If you chew it carefully, you can taste a little sweetness.

Perhaps they were too tired from walking in the snow, or perhaps they consumed too much calories to resist the cold. It only took the three of them five or six minutes to finish the meat and soup.

Barely half full.

This means that they must hunt at dawn tomorrow to fill their stomachs and maintain their strength.

"It would be great if I could meet a big guy."

Duke picked his teeth with a wooden pick and stroked a 22-caliber pistol with his other hand. What kind of sparks could be created between prehistoric monsters and modern firearms?

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

After all, no matter how well-produced a prehistoric documentary is, no matter how hard the researchers explain it, it is just an animation based on the skeletons and using computer technology. How can it compare to seeing it with your own eyes?

However, after hearing Duke's words, Pan Ming and Lu Li looked at each other with solemn expressions.

"I'll go on night duty first. Who will take over in five hours?"

"I, remember to bring the gun."

With that said, Pan Ming took out a thick blanket from his backpack and handed it to Lu Li.

A few minutes later, a bonfire burned outside the camp.
Chapter completed!
