Chapter 785: Picking Up a Worm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Dan wasn’t afraid of this worm. He also picked up one nearby and placed it in the leaf in Sharon’s hand with the one Sharon had caught.

“Let’s look for more nearby. We can roast them when we get back.” Sharon lowered her head and searched carefully. The worm just now was simply protein that fell from the sky. “That should have fallen from this tree just now, so there should be more nearby. We can look for more.”

When Melinda and Melissa heard that the worm had fallen from that tree, they quickly moved a few meters away from it. This was the first time the two of them had acted in unison. They looked at each other in disdain and stood rooted to the ground, waiting for Sharon and the others to finish searching for the worms so that they could leave quickly.

“I found another one.” Sharon found another huge protein. This one was about as thick as her thumb and as long as her palm.

With the tree where Sharon discovered the green worm as the center and a three-meter radius around it, Sharon, Dan, and Shane searched the area thoroughly and obtained a total of four green worms.

“There’s a grasshopper here.” Shane discovered a new gain in the grass.

“Capture it and bring it back,” Sharon said.

“Although this grasshopper can be roasted and eaten, isn’t it too small?” Dan had also eaten roasted grasshopper legs when he was young, but it was almost impossible to eat roasted grasshopper to fill their stomach.

“No, no, no. You can go back and feed this to the little bird,” Sharon explained. The little bird was injured and couldn’t forage for food on its own. This was all they could do for the little bird. Whether it could survive in the end depended on its own luck.

“Then let’s find some more bugs and feed them to the bird,” Dan said.

Melinda and Melissa instinctively felt afraid when they heard the word ‘bugs’. Sharon, on the other hand, didn’t feel afraid. In her eyes, the bugs were food that they and the little bird could eat.

“There’s a fragrant flower here.” Sharon originally wanted to see if there was any purple-stemmed orchid nearby so that she could use it to chase away mosquitoes. Although she couldn’t find the purple-stemmed orchid, she could also chase away mosquitoes if she found the fragrant flower.

“Can this be eaten?” Melinda asked curiously. Sharon was simply a walking encyclopedia. She simply had an encyclopedia in her mind.

Sharon nicked the stem and leaves of a bouauet of fragrant flowers and said.

“This isn’t for eating. Fragrant flowers can be used to chase away mosquitoes.” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The flowers of this tree were either withered or hadn’t bloomed yet. There were no longer any traces of flowers on the plant, but with its stem, leaves, and smell, Sharon could confirm that this was a fragrant flower.

“Although there are no flowers, its leaves can also repel mosquitoes.” Sharon picked a large handful.

“Are you sure this can repel mosquitoes?” Melissa asked suspiciously.

“You’ll know when you smell it.” Sharon handed the stem of a fragrant flower to Melissa.

Melissa did not take it. Instead, she sniffed it and frowned.

“Not only can this smell repel mosquitoes, but it can also repel me,” said Melissa with a frown.

Sharon smiled and didn’t say anything else.

When they returned to the camp, Sharon realized that the bird she had placed in the coconut shell was gone.

“Did the bird recover its strength and run away?” Melinda sifted through the weeds near the coconut shell, but she still couldn’t find the bird.

Sharon suddenly felt a little disappointed. Logically speaking, she should be happy that the little bird had recovered its strength and had the ability to run away on its own. However, when she thought about how she really wouldn’t be able to see that little fellow again, she still didn’t feel good. They even caught food for it. It was still injured, and she didn’t know if it would be eaten by snakes or other ferocious beasts.

Just as Sharon was about to find a stone to use as a pestle to smash the stem and leaves of the fragrant flowers, the little bird suddenly limped and appeared in the empty space beside her.

“Little thing, so you didn’t leave.” Sharon held the bird happily with both hands.

“It might have been looking for food nearby, but it didn’t find anything and came back,” Dan said with a smile.

“You stupid little bird, don’t you think you’re a stupid little bird?” Shane stroked the little bird’s furry head and said.

In the beginning, every time it was touched, the little bird would tremble. After slowly familiarizing itself, the little bird was no longer afraid of being touched. It even enjoyed the feeling of being stroked. Every time it was stroked, it would close its eyes and it looked like it was enjoying it..
