Chapter 200: First Grilled Fish Experience, Tears Flowing Down the Corners of the Mouth, Discovered Grapes!
The aroma of the grilled fish immediately wafted out.
Shi also walked over, holding the ground chili, Sichuan pepper, and lemon.
Lin Ye quickly took them and began to spread them on the piranha.
Meanwhile, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls smelled the grilled fish.
Their eyes were already shining with excitement.
Looking at the piranha that was just wriggling alive,
now being roasted over the bonfire.
Tears involuntarily flowed down the corners of their mouths.
Upon smelling the grilled fish, Shi was even more smitten.
He seemed even more impatient than the others.
Gazing at the grilled fish, Shi even stuck out his tongue.
As all the seasonings were applied,
the aroma of the grilled fish became even more intense.
Finally, in the last moments before the grilled fish was fully cooked,
Lin Ye squeezed a circle of lemon juice onto each grilled fish. “It’s done! Time to eat!”
As Lin Ye’s lemon juice sizzled on the grilled fish,
Lin Ye said to the people who were already drooling.
As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking,
Shi rushed forward.
He directly pulled out two arrows from the ground. “Six five zero.”
Holding one in each hand, he sat on the ground and began to chew. “Mmm~!”
While eating, he even made sounds of enjoyment.
Seeing this, the others also quickly went up and each took two grilled fish.
Lin Ye also had one in each hand.
This kind of predatory fish had very delicious meat.
It tasted like groupers, but several times more tender.
And there was absolutely no earthy smell.
The unicorn on the side watched them eat so deliciously.
It pawed the ground anxiously, tied to the carriage.
However, two piranhas per person were just right.
If the unicorn wanted to eat, it could only try the fish heads.
It was the first time the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls had eaten fish.
After taking the first bite,
they no longer cared about their eating manners.
They were all chewing the fish meat with gusto.
Not a single person had a free mouth to speak.
But their gazes and expressions all revealed the deliciousness of the grilled fish.
Lin Ye also lowered his head and ate heartily.
Soon, all their two grilled fish were completely devoured.
They lay on the ground, holding their stomachs.
“This fish is too delicious.”
Shi lay there, licking his lips.
Recalling the grilled fish he had just eaten.
He couldn’t help but praise it.
Lin Ye sat on the ground with a smile, leaning back slightly with his hands supporting him behind.
After resting for a while,
Lin Ye spoke to the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls still lying on the ground. “Alright, don’t just lie here, get in the carriage and lie down, we need to depart.” There was still some time before dark.
They had already wasted a lot of time here.
Moreover, due to the thick fog, the carriage’s speed was greatly affected.
If they didn’t hurry,
they wouldn’t be able to reach the Xu Shi within ten days.
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls
quickly got up from the ground.
After extinguishing the bonfire,
everyone climbed onto the carriage.
Rubbing the compass again,
the carriage continued on its way.
Before leaving, Lin Ye glanced at a few trees growing by the river.
But they were surrounded by swamps, so he couldn’t chop them down to take with them.
After traveling for another two days,
the thick fog was finally dispersed by a strong wind.
But what followed was a heavy rain.
However, after the fog dissipated,
Lin Ye increasingly noticed that a forest could be seen in front of the carriage.
So he quickly had the unicorn charge towards the forest.
Braving the heavy rain, Lin Ye and the others could hide inside the carriage for shelter.
But the unicorn had nowhere to hide on the grassland.
The Winged Girls and Beast-eared Girls sat inside the carriage.
Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the carriage roof.
The Winged Girls were all clear-headed.
They looked gratefully at Lin Ye.
Fortunately, Lin Ye had built this carriage.
Otherwise, with such heavy rain,
their wings would have been soaked and they wouldn’t be able to fly.
Lin Ye, however, was outside, driving the carriage through the rain, speeding along.
Galloping towards the distant forest.
Finally, after being rained on for nearly half an hour,
the unicorn, pulling the carriage, rushed into the forest.
Finding a tree with dense foliage, the unicorn pulled the carriage under it to shelter from the rain.
Lin Ye’s entire body was soaked.
But just as he stood under the tree, the rain immediately lessened.
Then, soon, even the sun came out, and the rain quickly stopped.
The unicorn and Lin Ye exchanged glances.
They both sighed slightly.
“It’s fine, consider it a bath!” Lin Ye thought to himself.
He took off his clothes and wrung out the water.
Looking at the holes in his clothes,
Lin Ye thought that he would have to make clothes from primitive society when he went back.
The unicorn also shook off the water droplets on its body.
Its fine fur seemed waterproof, and with a shake, it became dry.
The people inside the carriage heard the rain stop.
They all opened the doors and windows and poked their heads out.
Having finally encountered a forest, Lin Ye also let everyone get off the carriage to rest.
Because the fog had just cleared and the heavy rain had started,
they hadn’t had a chance to carefully survey the surrounding terrain.
The Beast-eared Girls stretched their bodies, stiff from the strenuous journey, below the carriage.
Lin Ye quickly climbed onto the top of the carriage, activated his Eye of Investigation and X-ray Vision, and looked around.
Lin Ye discovered that they might have already left the grassland.
This forest stretched as far as Lin Ye could see.
At this moment, Lin Ye, who was squinting and scanning everywhere, suddenly froze.
Then, he slowly moved his head back.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
In Lin Ye’s line of sight,
on the branches of several trees,
were intertwined vines hanging down.
What surprised Lin Ye was,
hanging from those vines were several clusters of purple, round fruits…
Lin Ye was all too familiar with this type of fruit.
Those hanging clusters of fruit were wild grapes!
Lin Ye noted the position, then jumped down from the carriage roof.
“You all stay here, don’t move, I’ll be right back!”
Leaving these words, Lin Ye grabbed the Zhuge Liang Crossbow and ran out.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls stared blankly at Lin Ye’s receding figure.
After exchanging confused glances,
they went back to their own activities.
Lin Ye shuttled rapidly through the forest.
In no time, he reached the wild grapes.
Looking at the plump, crystal-clear grapes hanging in clusters on the vines.
Each grape was as big as a ping pong ball.
But the grapes were hanging at a height Lin Ye couldn’t reach.
So, Lin Ye directly picked up the Zhuge Liang Crossbow.
He aimed at the vine and shot an arrow.
Then, Lin Ye dropped the Zhuge Liang Crossbow and ran forward with his hands outstretched.
The arrow cut through the vine,
and an entire cluster of grapes fell down.
Lin Ye was already waiting below to catch it.
He reached out and steadily caught the cluster of grapes.
Holding it in his hands, Lin Ye felt that these grapes were even bigger than they looked.
He picked one off and held it in his hand.
Lin Ye thought to himself,
“That grape called ‘Romantic Ruby’ can fetch a price of 67,000.”
“If people on Earth saw grapes this big, who knows what astronomical price they would fetch.” “But now, only I can taste them.”
Thinking this, Lin Ye put the grape in his hand into his mouth.
But immediately, Lin Ye’s face contorted in pain.
Then he opened his mouth and spat out the grape. “Why is it so sour?!”
Looking at the grape, which had turned black in his hand, Lin Ye mumbled in confusion. This was definitely ripe.
It was almost fully ripe and had fallen.
But why was it still so sour.
Lin Ye, not believing it, ate another one.
The same pained expression appeared on his face again.
His entire face twisted.
Lin Ye placed the cluster of grapes on the ground.
He walked back to retrieve the Zhuge Liang Crossbow.
He shot down clusters of grapes from the vines.
With each cluster he shot down, Lin Ye would taste one.
In this way, the pained expression never left Lin Ye’s face.
By the time Lin Ye had used up his arrows and was shooting the second round,
when Lin Ye tasted the seventeenth cluster of grapes he shot down,
his eyes suddenly lit up.
This cluster of grapes, though not sweet, was not sour either!
This was already much better than the other grapes.
So, Lin Ye placed this cluster of grapes at the front of the line of grapes behind him.
After tasting a decent grape,
Lin Ye gained confidence.
“I’m sure I can find delicious grapes!” Lin Ye muttered to himself,
and continued to shoot down grapes.
