Surviving Endless Disasters

Wen Zheng easily caught the swimming crab with a breastplate in the shape of a shuttle and tied it tightly with a rope.

The wrasse, which usually lives in coral reefs, looks very ugly and has another nickname, Shrek fish.

The sea urchins with poisonous spikes on their bodies ran very fast. Only those sea urchins that were unlucky enough to hit the rocks had their spikes broken, and were then picked up by Wen Zheng with bamboo chopsticks into a bamboo tube.

On the beach where various seafood, branches and stones were scattered because of the typhoon, Wen Zheng picked up most of the bamboo basket with great interest. After determining that it would take a long time to smoke and preserve them, he was ready to deal with the shark.

As the distance got closer, Tuantuan felt the powerful breath of the predator and shrank in the bamboo basket, not daring to move or make a sound.

Wen Zheng was also afraid of any accidents, so he left the bamboo basket and the bamboo basket containing Tuantuan in place and walked alone to the location of the shark.

Wen Zheng held three sharpened spears in his hand and slowly approached the great blue shark that had been stranded for too long and had no strength to struggle.

With sharp eyes, he stared at the shark's weakness. The shark's skin was very slippery and thick. The spear in his hand was made of a carbonized stick and was not so sharp. If he attacked with a spear, he had to attack the shark's relatively low defense parts, that is, the mouth, eyes, nose and gills.

The shark's blood mouth was tightly closed. The eyes and nose needed to face the shark's head, and the position of the gills was easy to determine from the side. Wen Zheng narrowed his eyes, raised his arms, twisted his waist and exerted force with his arms.

The spear in his hand stabbed directly into the shark's skin. The sound of the spear piercing the flesh was particularly obvious. The shark felt severe pain and struggled harder on the beach.

The shark struggled so hard that Wen Zheng couldn't hold the spear firmly. The spear fell on the beach. Wen Zheng saw that the shark was already a strong crossbow.

Blood flowed from the wound, dyeing the sea water and beach under him red. This shark, which was not big in size, struggled weakly, and some blood even sprayed on Wen Zheng's body.

Wen Zheng was not soft-hearted. This was not a peaceful modern society. If he met this shark at sea, he would definitely be attacked. Without any hesitation, he raised the second spear again.

The fate of this shark was already determined. It was trapped on the beach and could not move. Even if Wen Zheng did not attack it, it would eventually fall on the beach.

With the axe chopped down, there was no sound of struggle in this area. The blood dyed the beach red and the blue sea red.

Looking at the huge shark body, Wen Zheng began to think about how to deal with it. He used the axe to cut off the shark fins and fish lips first. Two of the eight delicacies of seafood come from sharks, namely shark fins and fish lips.

The next thing to take is the sharp teeth in the shark's mouth.

Sharks are cartilaginous fish. Except for the teeth used to bite prey, all the bones in their bodies are very light and elastic, and they are not very useful. Wen Zheng is not going to take those bones.

There are several rows of teeth in the shark's mouth. Whenever a tooth falls off, a new tooth will move forward to fill the old one, and a large tooth will replace the small one. The teeth in the front row are the sharpest.

These teeth can be used to make weapons. In the ancient times when there were no metal products, humans changed from striking to stabbing, and then from simple and easy-to-obtain branches and stones to animal bones and teeth.

Wen Zheng had seen a related documentary. As early as the 9th century, some islanders used shark teeth to make weapons. The production method was briefly introduced.

Wen Zheng remembered it very clearly. Of course, he had to keep these teeth to add new equipment for himself.

The tusks of the wild boar hunted last time were also taken off, but the tusks of the wild boar were not so sharp. Wen Zheng simply cleaned and dried them, and then used them to drill holes in bamboo.

After the teeth were taken, several minutes had passed.

Wen Zheng took the teeth from the shark's mouth, and all he smelled was the smell of blood. He had no doubt that he was stained with this smell.

Because when he went to get the bamboo tube from the bamboo basket, Tuantuan didn't recognize him. He was so scared that he screamed and fluttered in the bamboo basket, and even two feathers fell off.

Wen Zheng put all the shark teeth into the bamboo tube, and took the axe to start cutting the shark's skin.

Shark skin can also be made into leather. The wild boar skin that was originally caught was a little small and could barely be used as a quilt. If the shark skin is tanned, it can be made into a sleeping bag.

It happened that the shark skin was not damaged much during the attack. The techniques practiced on wild boars and bamboo rats worked normally on sharks, and the skin was basically peeled off intact.

As for the shark meat and other internal organs in the stomach, none of them were prepared.

Shark meat is not suitable for consumption because they have a special urinary system and will excrete urine through the skin, so shark meat contains urea. Unless you find a way to remove the urea, it will taste a little sour and have an unbearable fishy smell.

Wen Zheng is not short of food now, so of course he will choose to give up.

Sharks are very large, and it takes a lot of time to skin and take out their teeth.

By the time Wen Zheng had completely finished, two or three hours had passed. He was particularly focused when peeling the shark skin, and now he felt a little tired.

After sitting on the beach for two minutes to rest, Wen Zheng took the stone and shark skin to the shallow sea, and used the stone to rub the inside of the shark skin to remove fat and also wash off the bloody smell on his body.

Even if Wang Jing was completely cleaned, when he returned to the bamboo basket, Tuan Tuan, who was anxiously turning around in the bamboo basket, looked outside with some confusion.

Putting everything into the bamboo basket, Wen Zheng said in his usual tone: "It's me, the big shark has been dealt with, don't be afraid.

" Listening to the familiar voice, Tuan Tuan finally believed that it was Wen Zheng who came back, not the ferocious big shark.

Wen Zheng was going to go back to the cave first. Before coming out of the cave, he did not expect that a shark would be stranded. Now that the sharks have been dealt with, a lot of seafood has been put in and the bamboo basket is completely full.

Putting these things in the cave, Wen Zheng once again carried the bamboo basket. This typhoon brought rich marine food. There will definitely be a lot of food on the reef beaches and mountain forests. The mountains and forests are a bit far away, but the reef beaches can be passed in time. One trip.

It was rare to have such an opportunity to collect a large amount of food. Wen Zheng felt that he couldn't just miss it. He had to store as much food as possible to feel at ease.

Several hours had passed, and the seabirds no longer hovered over the beach. The surrounding air contained not only the fishy smell of the ocean, but also the stench of rotting sea fish, and the combined smell was particularly unpleasant.

Wen Zheng simply made a mask with banana leaves and rope and put it on his face. Looking at the fish on the beach whose eyes had turned cloudy, Wen Zheng felt regretful in his heart.

These sea fish could not return to the sea, and they could not withstand the sun's rays, so they were all sunk to death.

And those marine creatures that can run or live under the sand will no longer stay on the beach after such a long time.

Wen Zheng walked on the grass, gave up the option of searching on the beach, and headed directly to the reef beach.

The arrival of the typhoon also enriched the species on the reef beach. Wen Zheng walked quickly. When he arrived, he saw a reef beach that was a little different from usual.

A lot of seaweed was swept up from the sea by the typhoon, and it was almost drying on the rocks. In the gaps and shallow depressions between the rocks, there was a lot of seawater that had not been evaporated and was trapped inside. In addition to small crabs and shrimps, there are also hermit crabs, not to mention various shellfish and large conches adsorbed on the rocks.

To collect these things, you still need to walk to the reef.

The reefs are constantly being corroded by sea water. Some surfaces are pitted and fragile, not to mention that there are slippery seaweeds on them. Wen Zheng climbed to the slightly higher rocks very carefully.
