47: Grouse who loves blueberries

In the livestream room, the barrage comments instantly began to scroll frantically.

"Holy crap, where did this bird come from? Scared me to death!"

"I'm terrified, I'm at work right now and almost screamed; my boss nearly caught me."

"Haha, even Great God Lu Fan was so startled he started swearing. That's hilarious!"

"Quick, look at the Grouse! This is a great chance for an extra meal."

Lu Fan was so startled by the sudden fluttering sound that he almost jumped, his heart pounding wildly.

Once he saw it was a Grouse, his tense nerves relaxed a bit. Panting heavily, he said to the Grouse irritably, "You little rascal, you nearly scared the soul out of me!"

Big Horn also trembled all over from the fright, hiding behind Lu Fan and poking its head out to peek cautiously at the Grouse.

Lu Fan stared at the Grouse, his eyes darting around. With a mischievous smirk, he said, "Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Saying this, he gripped the axe in his hand and crept toward the Grouse on tiptoe.

Lu Fan relaxed his body, took out a few blueberries and placed them on his hand, constantly projecting goodwill: "Coo, coo, coo. Come eat, come eat."

Grouse are omnivores, and attracted by his Animal Affinity, it tentatively walked toward Lu Fan.

Once it reached Lu Fan's side, it pecked at a blueberry and began to eat slowly.

"Eat up, eat up. Eat a bit more. Once you're full, the Road to the Underworld won't be so painful," Lu Fan said with a smile.

Then, Lu Fan tentatively placed his hand on the Grouse's body. The Grouse turned its head to glance at him, then continued eating the blueberries.

At this moment, the Grouse had no idea that danger had arrived.

"Coo, coo, coo~"

In the next second, Lu Fan instantly grabbed the Grouse by its neck.

The Grouse fluttered its wings incessantly.

"Hahahahaha~" Lu Fan transformed into a cackling villain, acting incredibly arrogant.

Then, he used his knife to end the Grouse's life directly.

"Chicken for dinner tonight!" Lu Fan said triumphantly.

In the livestream room.

"The Great God is mighty! That move was so cool."

"Grouse: I'm speechless, fam. I ran into a Sneaky Camper."

"I know it's all the blueberries' fault. These blueberries are too fragrant, too sweet, and too delicious~ that's why life was lost so quickly in an instant~"

"To the person above, why can I hear your voice?"

"Extra meal tonight! Grouse meat will definitely be delicious."

Lu Fan hung the Grouse from his waist and continued searching the surroundings to see if there were any other gains.

After walking just a few steps, he was pleasantly surprised to find over a dozen Grouse Eggs in a patch of grass.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the delivery to come with small eggs too! Big Horn, we're going to have a great meal tonight!"

Big Horn let out a cheerful cry, as if responding to him.

Lu Fan carefully picked up the Grouse Eggs one by one, wrapped them in leaves, and placed them in his basket.

He looked at the Grouse on his waist: "A family should stay together, don't you think, Brother Bird? Hmm? Speak up!"

[Huaguo Contestant Lu Fan has triggered the ten thousand times rebate]

[Healthy Grouse * 10,000]

[Healthy Grouse Eggs 16 * 10,000]

The livestream room immediately began to discuss this.

"Isn't this Grouse a first-class protected animal? Although it went extinct a few years ago."

"Same question as before: can 10,000 Grouse still be considered a protected species?"

"Then what counts as a protected animal?"

"Simple. Kill and eat them until only two are left. Won't they become a rare species then?"

"Holy crap, the guy above me is a genius."

After packing everything up, Lu Fan carried his bountiful harvest and quickened his pace toward the Shelter.

Returning to the Shelter, Lu Fan first hung his previously washed clothes one by one on some branches to dry.

A gentle breeze blew, and the wet clothes swayed slightly, as if cheering for his thrilling experiences today.

Next, he began preparing dinner. He skillfully processed the Grouse, using his sharp dagger to remove the feathers and gut it, his movements fluid and natural.

After processing the Grouse, he set up a simple grill over the campfire, skewered the Grouse on a branch, and placed it over the fire to roast.

The flames licked the Grouse, the fat sizzled, and a rich aroma filled the air.

Lu Fan turned the branch from time to time to ensure the Grouse was heated evenly.

At the same time, he brought over the iron pot, cracked a few Grouse Eggs into it, gave them a simple stir, and placed it over the fire to fry slowly.

"Grouse paired with Grouse Eggs—nutritious and the taste will definitely be amazing!" Lu Fan muttered to himself.

Then, he took some Blueberry Jam and spread it onto the roasting Grouse.

livestream room.

"Just looking at it makes my mouth water. Great God, hurry up and try it. How does it taste?"

"If I could just have one bite, my whole life would be worth it."

"Grouse: I didn't get my fill while alive, but I never expected to be accompanied by blueberries in death."

While waiting for the food to cook, Lu Fan thought back to the wolf footprints he had discovered earlier.

"I wonder where that pack of wolves is right now. I need to find time to properly reinforce the Shelter," he muttered to himself.

Before long, both the Grouse and the Grouse Eggs were cooked. The Grouse's skin was roasted to a golden crisp, infused with the sweetness of the blueberries.

Taking a bite, the tender and juicy meat spread in his mouth, followed immediately by the slight sweetness of the blueberries; the fragrance permeated his entire mouth.

The Grouse Eggs were fresh, tender, and smooth, with a unique aroma.

"Tastes good. Your death wasn't in vain," Lu Fan said indistinctly while devouring the food.

The viewers in the livestream room watched Lu Fan eating with great relish and sent envious barrage comments.

"The Great God eats so heartily, it's making me hungry."

"This Grouse and these Grouse Eggs must be even better than the food in fine-dining restaurants."

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Fan lay on the ground, rubbing his round belly and letting out a satisfied burp.

"Today has truly been a thrilling and fulfilling day! First, a big battle with a Five-Pace Snake, then discovering the Apple Tree and wolf footprints, and finally harvesting a Grouse and Grouse Eggs. In this wilderness, every day is full of surprises and challenges."

Lu Fan reminisced while eating a fruit salad made of Green Apples mixed with honey.

He looked up at the night sky where the stars twinkled as if telling the mysteries of the universe.

"Big Horn, we need to live well in this wilderness. Who knows, maybe we'll create even more miracles in the future!"

Big Horn leaned against him, listening to him speak quietly.

After resting for a while, Lu Fan got up and began to tidy up.

He properly preserved the remaining Grouse and Grouse Eggs for future consumption.

Then, he began to check every corner of the Shelter to see if anything needed reinforcing.

"I need to find some sturdier branches to reinforce the perimeter wall. If the wolves come, I can't let them break in easily," he said while getting to work.

Under the moonlight, Lu Fan's busy figure appeared exceptionally determined.

He knew that in this wilderness, danger could strike at any moment, but as long as he stayed calm and kept learning and improving, he would surely be able to survive.

After being busy for quite a while, Lu Fan finally finished reinforcing the Shelter.

He looked at his results with satisfaction, brushed the dust off his body, and prepared to rest.

"That's it for today. I'll deal with tomorrow's matters tomorrow."

Then, Lu Fan crawled into his bedding.

"Did I forget something?" After thinking for a long time and failing to remember, Lu Fan just went to sleep.

Big Horn stood alone in the shed: "Wait, Master, you haven't made me dinner yet! How can you sleep with such a clear conscience?"
