NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Watch Carefully, Learn Seriously
B-Dog took the bloody wolf tooth and swung it in front of the camera. He explained, “Wolves hunt most of the days and their teeth will easily have some scars. Although it has a flaw, it is still wearable to exorcise evil spirits. The flaw can even prove it is genuine.”
“The wolf fangs you can find on the market are most likely dog teeth. Either from the mongrel or the wolf-dog. Dog fangs are pulled out quickly. It is fresh, white, beautiful and not easy to crack. Whereas for wolf fangs, it is mostly the old stock. It has been a long time since it was pulled out. The pulp will shrink and it is full of cracks due to the dry weather. Some fangs have this flaw originally.”
“Look at this, this is the upper tooth and that is the lower tooth. The processed teeth have their specific names. After processing, the upper tooth is called “Sky Summit” while the lower tooth is called as “Sky Drawing”. On the other hand, without processing, the upper tooth is called “Blood Tower” and the lower tooth is called “Blood Thorn”. Do you feel like reading a Fantasy ?”
It was a habit for B-Dog to tease the audiences while chit-chatting with them but this kind of showing off actions attracted the audience’s mass attack immediately.
The tycoon, Chief Cow, could not help himself and left a message, “Please give me, B-Dog.”
Chen C-Dog also liked it very much, “Lord B-Dog, can I have one?”
President Wang just made one round of visits to the female anchors’ broadcast rooms and sent some Buddha Jumps over the Walls. He thought B-Dog had left the place but he was still here. “Look at that murderous intent, if my dog meets Lord B-Dog, it will pee!”
The wolf fang chain was a temptation for men. Moreover, they had witnessed how it was plucked out from an old wolf.
B-Dog laughed and said, “Do not get panic; I have some wolf clavide bones here. If the girls are wearing elegant night dress together with the clavide necklace, it will be unique and charming. I hope everyone can understand, this is what I get from my first time hunt. It is very meaningful to me. I wish to make it a necklace and put on my future girlfriend’s neck. Luckily there is the wolf skin and the rabbit skin with me. I have decided to give them out as lucky draw presents before the show ends. If I get any new items in future, I will not forget you guys.”
The tycoons stopped nagging at him after he said so.
He picked up the rabbit, used the snow to clean it, and wrapped it before placing it inside the bag. He made a count, the harvest was quite fruitful. Now, he was free from starving at last. He felt relieved and continued his journey.
With the LV6 skiing skill, he could handle with the snow ground easily. He skied like a bird.
He met with some snow drifts, so he accelerated and made a flip over the snow. It was amazing. Certainly, there were some places he could not ski and he needed to hack his way through the jungle thus advanced slowly.
It was a difficult challenge to keep the contents fresh and entertaining for a broadcast in the wild. Most of the time, you had to rush. If you did not want to spend the time on the road, a transport was necessary. After all, Mr. Bear had a team to record his show. Even when he was traveling most of the time, he could make a post editing to modify. However, a broadcast could not do so.
His skiing skill had achieved LV6; it was the standard of a professional state player. He might not win in a skiing competition but at least he was qualified to join. It was an enjoyment to watch him skiing naturally and skillfully. It helped him to keep his popularity despite the boring journey.
“Now that I have the food, I need to find a shelter, make a fire to boil the water, and make a sumptuous lunch to replenish my energy.”
“It is difficult to tell the direction in the jungle. Do not panic if you are lost. You have to use your intelligence and knowledge wisely. Try to recall the knowledge you have learned from your natural science textbook in your school day. You will realize there are many methods to recognize the directions. Let me teach you the simple methods, like using stones and tree branches.”
“Find a stone or a tree which is surrounded by grass. Observe the grass. Under normal circumstances, the grass grows better at the south part of the stone and tree branch. During autumn, the grass facing the south dies faster. The tree branch can tell you the direction also. Find a big tree and observe the bark. The smooth part is telling you that way is south and the coarse part is telling you that way is north.
Observing the growth of the big tree is another method to differentiate the direction. Find a tree which is blooming with leaves and you will see the difference between south and north. The leaves will be focused at the south. The tree ring is similar as well. Along with the growth of the tree, the situation will be different between south and north. And you can tell from the tree ring obviously. Observe the ring, the more obvious parts indicates it is facing north.”
“Excellent. What is your certificate qualification? What is your major?”
“I know this too, they are in the primary school natural science textbook.”
“Now only you say so. Try explaining without surfing the internet.”
“Watch carefully, learn seriously. Do not get angry easily, youngster.”
“…”
B-Dog stopped and said, “Listen, do you hear water?”
The recording equipment of Dog Egg was perfect; it helped to filter the sound of the wind. If the audience listened carefully through the stereo and they would identify the soft sounds of water.
B-Dog smiled happily and said, “The sound of water proves there is a river. A river proves there are living things. It means food. It will be convenient if I can set up the tent nearby the river. I am running out of water and energy. I need to replenish my energy and water urgently. It seems like I have to stop and rest for a while. Let me to tell you a surviving tip. If you are lost in the jungles, try to find a river stream. The best way to stay alive is following the downstream.”
Indeed, he saw a half frozen river. Probably because the water was flowing fast, part of the river did not freeze.
B-Dog took a long breath. He took the ski board up and found a shelter nearby the giant stone. He then placed his bag down and started searching for wood to start the fire.
“It is very tough to travel in the jungle. The plants and vines always block the way. Luckily the snow helps to keep me safe. During winter time, most of the insects and snakes are hibernating under the ground. It saves me a lot of trouble.”
There were many of edible plants nearby the river. If one searched carefully, one would find it very soon. B-Dog found the Lion’s Mane Mushroom at the fork and root parts of an oak tree.
“A real discovery, Lion’s Mane Mushroom is very popular at DXAL. The local people rank this mushroom as bird’s nest. It is the best among the delicacies.”
“The local people have their unique way to collect Lion’s Mane Mushroom. They think this mushroom has a gender and they grow in pairs. If you can find a mushroom at this tree, then you can definitely find another mushroom at another tree nearby. I will search again, hopefully I can get more. Then I can use them to prepare either stew rabbit or braise wolf meat in soy sauce.”
Unfortunately, he did not get a lot; he only managed to get about ten to twenty mushrooms.
In front of the camera, he demonstrated the way to start up the fire by using stones. He managed to light up the fire in no time.
“Ha-ha, finally I can eat.”
B-Dog was excited and jumped up. The fire warmed his body. He was too touched, almost crying out. The audience saw the extreme behavior of B-Dog and came to realize that B-Dog was a young person also.
“Well done Lord B-Dog. Get your body warmed.”
“Lord B-Dog, enjoy your meal.”
