Chapter 1024: 1023. Rainforest Mine (2/5)

Chapter 1024 1023. Rainforest Mine (25)

The pork is skinned and roasted from the skin to the inside. Although the pork skin is burnt, the pork inside is just cooked.

The leaves of an unknown plant used to marinate the pork preserve the perfect aroma of the pork.

The roast pork that Li Du ate was very fragrant, just delicious, and he had no other feelings. It seemed that he had never eaten such a delicious roast pork.

The plantain worm sat next to it with great interest, swaying its body with its fellows who were dancing around the bonfire. Li Du asked, "What is this meat roasted with? It's delicious?"

Hearing what he said, the plantain worm smiled happily, and he even said with a picture: "Panicha, this is Panicha, it is for pigs to eat Panicha, Zayong Panicha is roasted, it is delicious."

Li Du didn't know what Panicha was. This kind of plant is very suitable as an ingredient for barbecue. It has a good taste and can perfectly retain the aroma of meat.

Of course, it is also possible that the pigs they breed are usually fed with Panicha, which improves the quality of pork. Pigs that grow up on natural weeds are definitely better than pigs that grow on feed.

Although the Pygmies are small, a few pigs can't satisfy their appetite anyway. They have to cook other food besides sharing pork.

Among them, some members of the hunting team brought back some bamboo tubes. They put the bamboo tubes on the fire and roasted them. After a while, they took them back and opened them, and the aroma of roasted protein came out from inside.

Someone handed Li Du a bamboo tube, signaling him to eat.

Li Du sniffed it. It was a bit like the smell of fried grasshoppers and fried golden cicadas he had eaten when he was a child. He asked, "What is this?"

While asking, he poured some in his hand, and when he saw what was poured out, he knew what it was.

These are some big white ants, and the ones in the bamboo tube are roasted ants.

The plantain bug scratched its head and said, "White clothes? This is suchalala, delicious."

What is delicious about roasted ants? Li Du didn't have much interest in this stuff, but the hospitality was hard to refrain from. He didn't want to be too distant, so he grabbed some and ate them.

Now it's interesting, the pygmies are getting more and more fond of him, and they invite him to taste their food.

Their food is very complicated and has everything. For example, because of the temptation of the fire, some moths will fly to them. They are roasted to death by the flames, and someone will pick them up and eat them immediately.

Someone picked up a moth and would not eat it, but kindly gave it to Li Du to eat.

Li Du admits defeat: If he doesn't refuse again, maybe something will be delivered, anyway, he has already seen someone get a big bat from nowhere and hang it on the bonfire...

Patting his belly, he said he was full, and then went to set up the tent with Godzilla to prepare for the night's rest.

Just like being with the Hadzais in the grassland animal sanctuary before, they had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up, they saw that the local Pygmies had woken up early and started preparing breakfast.

Their breakfast was the leftover supper from last night, and the men who went out to hunt and the women who went to gather wild fruits had priority, and then others swarmed up to grab the food.

The weather is not good, a little gloomy.

Li Du was depressed. Before he went out, he had checked the weather forecast, saying that the weather would be good in the coming week, at least there would be no spring rain.

But judging by the weather, it is already overcast, and it is estimated that it will rain soon.

He went to find the plantain bug and asked, "Where did you find the diamond? How far away from here?"

The plantain bug thought for a while and said, "Let's go for a day."

Li Du heard that the mine was far away from the tribe, and they had to leave early to see what was going on, and then return to the car before the rainstorm.

In the spring and summer of South Africa, once the rain falls, it is easy to turn into a heavy rain. At this time, the rainforest is very dangerous. It is best to go to the city to avoid the rain.

He asked if the plantain worm could leave now, the plantain worm nodded happily, took the hand crossbow and led them away from the tribe.

Li Du was quite embarrassed. The plantain worm had just returned to the tribe and stayed with his family and relatives for less than a day before being taken away by him again. This is a bit unreasonable.

The plantain worm was loyal, but he didn't feel that way. He took Li Du and others on the road and continued to march northwest.

This trip was more convenient. The road they took was the place where the Pygmies stepped out during the hunting process. Although it was not as convenient as the artificially developed road, at least there was a place to stay.

There are not as many wild beasts in the woods as they imagined. No wonder the Pygmies eat termites, bats, and whatever they encounter. It is so difficult to survive.

A group of people walked in the team, and Banana Bug and Brother Wolf went to the front to open the way together.

While walking, the plantain worm suddenly stopped and knelt on the ground. Li Du thought it was some kind of custom, but the plantain worm raised its crossbow and shot it at the big tree in front of it.

"Shua", with a crisp sound, the sharp arrow nailed the tree.

A khaki-colored snake was struggling, and the plantain worm went up and smashed the snake's head with a wooden stick, wrapped the snake around its waist, and said happily, "It's delicious."

Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "You can eat by yourself."

They continued to move forward, and the plantain worm would stop from time to time, and every time he stopped, he found something.

For this, Li Du had to express his admiration. He was really sharp-eyed. Sometimes even Ah Miao didn't notice any wild beasts before he spotted them first.

This is the skill of the Pygmies, who possess excellent vision and keen perception, which are innate, the result of genes selected by nature during generations of hunting.

At noon, they happened to meet a big river, and they prepared lunch by the river.

Brother Wolf went to catch a few fish and grilled them on the fire.

The plantain worms cooked the two snakes wrapped around his waist, but Li Du and the others dared not eat them, so he enjoyed them with gusto.

Judging from the appearance, the snake meat should be good, even the skin is roasted. After peeling off the snake skin, the meat is white and tender, and the plantain insects seem to be delicious.

But even so, Li Du and his party were not interested in tasting it.

After lunch, they went down the river.

Li Du didn't know the name of this river. Brother Lang looked it up on the map and found that they were still in South Africa, but it was very close to the border.

After walking along the river for a while, the trees thinned out.

Then at two o'clock in the afternoon, the plantain worm laughed, pointed ahead and said, "You're right, you're right."

Li Du asked in surprise: "What? Are there diamonds?"

The plantain bug nodded and said, "Yes, you can."

Li Du waved his hand, Brother Wolf and Godzilla followed immediately, and the three of them rushed forward excitedly, ready to find this diamond treasure mine at the edge of the rainforest.

The vision in the jungle is not very good. As they ran forward, they found mounds of dirt in front of them. Standing on a mound of dirt, there was a big pit in front of them!
