Chapter 1324 Tasting the White Grass (2/2)

Calculating by the flying speed of the little bugs, they could cover one to two kilometers per minute. Hence, if Li Du walked forward for ten kilometers, the little bugs had no problem keeping up with up.

Brother Wolf walked alongside him, while also looking for wild edibles that they could use as food ingredients.

He explained to Li Du, ”This is very simple. Just find the wild herb and then identify it. However, that would also be very difficult. Putting aside the complexity of identifying the wild edible, one would have to find it in the first place, right?”

Li Du said, ”What's so difficult about finding them? We're going in the ten o'clock direction, within a radius of one hundred meters. There's a bunch of clothes over there. And where we are facing now… can you see? There is some wild grass there. In the two o'clock direction, if you look carefully, you can spot a shrub. This shrub seems to have long tubers…”

Brother Wolf sprinted off. When he saw the small shrub, he squatted down and dug up a few objects that looked like eggs.

Bringing those items back to Li Du, Brother Wolf, ”Boss, your vision is very impressive.”

Li Du said, ”Hence if I have all your knowledge on wild edibles, I can become a king of the wilderness.”

Brother Wolf was in full agreement. He said, ”All this knowledge can be learned and accumulated. I will tell you the key point first. Some of these plants, although they are harmless, do not have much nutritious value. Hence, to live well in the wild, you've got to understand what kind of nutrients each plant has so as to have a well-rounded diet.”

”Some plants contain essential vitamins and minerals, while others are rich in protein and carbohydrates. Some species also contain fat, and all types contain cellulose...”

He raised the tubers in his hands and said, ”For example, this is a kind of Solanaceae plant. I'm not sure what exactly it is. The wild plants we studied grow in Europe, so I don't know much about wild edibles in other regions of the world.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Then, can those be eaten?” Li Du asked. ”How can we determine?”

Brother Wolf said, ”If you're alone in the wild and find plants you aren't familiar with, you had better let them go. Don't risk it. However, if you have a partner or a team like now, you can be more daring. Give it a try!”

He wiped the tubers clean and passed one to Li Du. ”Have a bite, boss.”

Li Du looked at him with suspicion and said, ”We are not here to risk our lives, buddy. I say, if you don't know what this is, better not try it.”

He did not wish to take risks. In any case, he had already admitted before that he did not have an adventurous spirit.

Brother Wolf took a bite himself and said, ”Actually, it's not a problem. When you feel that something is not right, you should try your best to trigger yourself to vomit it out and it should be fine. Also, I've prepared some charcoal. That's the best emetic in the wild. Low amounts will trigger the vomiting reflex, and it can also absorb poison.”

Saying that, he took out a small bag, and inside were all the pieces of charcoal that he had collected in the afternoon.

After chewing twice, Brother Wolf spat out what he had put inside his mouth and threw away the remaining tubers.

”What's the matter?” Li Du asked.

Brother Wolf shook his head and said, ”Can't eat those. I can taste hydrogen cyanide, which is poisonous. Any plants containing it cannot be eaten.”

The little animals saw the thing that Brother Wolf spat out and rushed over to smell it. Then they turned away at once, their acute sense of smell warning them against it.

Seeing that, Li Du suddenly had an idea. He said, ”Actually, this might be easier than I thought. Can't we just get Ah Meow and the other animals to smell whatever it is we might think of eating?”

Sophie, who was next to them, teased, ”You're such a good father.”

Brother Wolf smiled. ”That's actually a great idea. Animals have well-developed instincts and a keen sense of smell, and if the plant is poisonous, even if they've never seen it, they would know to avoid it once they smell it.”

Li Du pulled Ah Meow to his side and randomly put a bunch of wild grass in front of the animal. He said, ”Taste the white grass. I will give you guys a chance to showcase yourselves today.”
