Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

The lizard was in a daze and felt that it was being grabbed by a big warm hand.

Then the falling trend miraculously stopped, and there was even a feeling of climbing upwards.

It opened its eyes with difficulty and found that it had not fallen to the bottom of the pit, but was in the hands of that damn two-legged beast.

Squeak!

It opened its mouth to curse, but the other party stuffed a cricket in its hand.

Eh? It's my favorite food! Never mind, I'll scold you after I finish eating!

It ate it subconsciously, opened its mouth again, and another cricket was fed to it.

Ah! It smells so good! It feels like the world has become a better place...

After feeding three crickets in a row, Chen Changfan found that the lizard's eyes became much clearer.

Squeak!

Squeak!

This time the tone didn't seem very strong, so he probably wasn't scolding himself.

Chen Changfan looked at the little guy, recalling that his soul seemed to have traveled into the body of this little guy just now, and thus he suddenly realized the Cloud Ladder.

Although it sounds a bit fantasy, isn't the system's signature skill soul transmigration?

Otherwise, how did he, a senior cattle and horse in the later generations, travel to this world?

It is actually quite reasonable to consume some precious enlightenment points to obtain a short soul-crossing experience card.

However, this kind of soul-transmigration seemed to cause great damage to the little lizard, and it just fainted.

If I hadn't rushed down to rescue it, the lizard would have fallen to its death in the pit.

Come to think of it, he should really thank the lizard, so he caught a few crickets as a token of gratitude.

The other party seemed to treat him as his master, lying obediently on Chen Changfan's shoulder, no longer having the rebellious look at the beginning.

Chen Changfan spent another two adventure points to push the Cloud Ladder to perfection.

Only then did I continue to climb down with confidence.

In this narrow and smooth pit, the perfect state of the Cloud Ladder is comparable to the method of walking on waves in water.

He propped up his legs, pushed against the rock wall, and was able to slide down quickly.

When there is no fulcrum on the rock wall, you can hook onto a tiny protrusion with just a hook of your finger, then swing your body and grab onto another fulcrum.

In his previous life, top extreme rock climbers could also do this, but Chen Changfan's movements were more agile, as if it was an instinctive reaction.

He was like an oversized lizard, rapidly descending in the narrow pit and soon reached the bottom.

"It's a pity that we can't go directly to the underground cave. It seems we have to explore other caves."

Chen Changfan turned around with some regret, but heard a squeaking sound from his shoulder. The lizard jumped into the bottom of the pit and kept circling around a glowing plant, as if trying to tell him something.

The bottom of the pit was dark, but the plants emitted a faint fluorescence.

He moved closer and finally saw the plant clearly.

A huge flower bud grows on the green stem, emitting a faint fluorescence that dispels the surrounding darkness.

In the light, you can see an orange-yellow fruit hanging in the flower bud, and a strange fragrance wafts into your nose.

At first glance, it looks like a small bright yellow lamp. In fact, it is a plant that looks very much like a lantern.

“There are lantern plants here?”

Chen Changfan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Lantern grass is extremely famous, and the original owner also has an impression of it in his memory.

Lantern grass usually grows on cliffs. In order to attract insects for pollination, it has evolved the ability to glow.

But people often value its fruit more. The lantern fruit is a precious medicinal herb and is very valuable.

Chen Changfan carefully picked the fruit that exuded a strange fragrance, and a prompt came to his mind:

[Obtain Lantern Fruit (Purple Quality), Encounter Point +1]

"Purple quality! It's indeed a precious medicine!"

Chen Changfan put the lantern fruit into his pocket, and after making sure there was nothing else around, he began to climb up using his hands and feet.

Compared to the rapid descent just now, climbing up was much slower.

It took him about five minutes to finally get back to the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat.

After a short rest, he grabbed a few crickets and dangled them in front of the little lizard.

"If you find a lantern fruit, you will be rewarded with a cricket. If you find the entrance to the cave, you will be rewarded with a piece of wolf meat."

The little lizard nodded repeatedly.

With food as motivation, it is full of enthusiasm to explore.

Chen Changfan followed the little lizard's footsteps and descended to the bottom of the pit again. This time he actually picked two lantern fruits.

I have to say that the supplies in the mountains are more abundant than those in the river.

After all, you only need hands to catch fish and shrimps in the river, but there are still some requirements to go into the mountains to hunt.

Hunters usually avoid underground pits like this. He is probably the first human to sneak into this place.

The next pit he went deeper into was a little special. Although the cave was very deep, it became narrower as he went down. It was difficult for him to turn around by himself.

He and the little lizard continued to go down and unexpectedly discovered a hidden river.

Squeak!

The little lizard suddenly sounded a warning, then waved its two front paws to warn Chen Changfan.

He understood immediately.

The little lizard seemed to sense the breath of the Nether Crocodile and felt a little uneasy.

Chen Changfan nodded, feeling a little more cautious, but not afraid.

The Nether Crocodile cannot enter such a narrow space at all, unless it is a small fish the size of a palm, which may be able to swim freely in this dark river.

Wait? Why aren't there any fish in this river?

He reached out and touched the river water; it was very cold.

"It seems the springs in the mountains are cold, making it difficult for fish to survive. But this is good news. It means that the Nether Crocodile hasn't eaten for a long time since being trapped in the stone pillar. It must be in an extremely weak state now."

Chen Changfan, who had originally not intended to provoke the Nether Crocodile, couldn't help but have some ideas at this moment.

This hidden danger must be eliminated sooner or later. If there is a chance to eliminate or tame it, he will do it without reservation.

After exploring five or six more pits, the sun was gradually setting. Chen Changfan patted his bulging bag and decided to fight again tomorrow.

He harvested a total of 12 lantern fruits, and his climbing skills became more and more proficient.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt his body became lighter.

He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the little lizard's head a few times.

The latter squinted his eyes comfortably, with an expression of enjoyment, a bit like an obedient dog.

Riding on a pony and carrying his prey, Chen Changfan went down the mountain and returned to Qingshan County.

I went straight to the drugstore, and the shopkeeper was still the middle-aged man with a mustache.

Chen Changfan remembered that the boss's surname seemed to be Tong, and he seemed to have some connection with warriors.

I still remember that the shopkeeper Tong wanted to test his background, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to sell the big blue dragon snake bones.

However, being cautious is not without benefits. If he had not taken snake bone and lotus root soup every day, his injuries would not have healed so quickly, and his physique would not be as strong as it is today.

If he was weak, he would naturally not dare to fight with the giant bony fish. How could we have the situation today?

In just a few days, Chen Changfan is no longer the same person he used to be. With many trump cards in his hand, he is naturally more confident.

"Boss, I picked some precious medicinal herbs in the mountains. Would you accept them?"

Chen Changfan took out a lantern fruit, and Shopkeeper Tong's eyes were immediately attracted to it, unable to move at all.

"This is... a lantern fruit! It can actually grow this big!"

Shopkeeper Tong's voice was trembling with excitement.

Lantern fruit is hard to find in the world. Even though he has been in charge of the medicine shop for many years, he has only seen butterfly grass a few times.

Shopkeeper Tong withdrew his gaze, trying to appear calm, and said, "There aren't many recipes for lantern fruit, but this one is of good quality. I'll pay... 100 Wen for it."

Chen Changfan sneered, picked up the lantern fruit on the counter and turned away.

"Wait a minute, bro, wait a minute, the price is negotiable!"

Shopkeeper Tong stopped Chen Changfan and held up a finger. "Two hundred coins, how about two hundred coins?"

Chen Changfan continued to walk out. Shopkeeper Tong became anxious and said, "Brother, don't just walk out. Give me an offer."

Chen Changfan also held up a finger and said, "One tael of silver, not a cent less."

Shopkeeper Tong's mustache twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred coins!"

Chen Changfan turned around.

"Five hundred coins!"

Chen Changfan had already stepped out of the threshold when Tong the Shopkeeper's weak voice came from behind him.

"It's up to you, one ounce is one ounce!"

Chen Changfan twisted his toes and turned around very smoothly, with a smile on his face.

He took out two lantern fruits, placed them on the counter, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Tong, two taels!"

Shopkeeper Tong took out the silver with some pain in his heart, then carefully put away the lantern fruit, shook his mustache and said:

"If you have any more lantern fruit in the future, send them directly to me... Hey, where are you?" "Love is always there, no matter how far we are apart. Can you vote for me? A man can't say no."
