The life as SURVIVALIST part-5
Jay was smirking the whole time while bringing out the the brown stick worms that thing should work with this vine too if it has worked with the branch then that should also work with the vine.
Afterall this worms were although were similar to earth worms they had a special ability.
Jay putted the worm's mouth and vines nearby and then as magnet attracts iron and it gets stuck to it the worm got stuck to it .
That was the special ability of the the brown stick worm although similar type of creature may exists on the earth jay hadn't heard about it because he didn't had the affinity for biology.
So looking at this always made him feel curious and awe everytime.
Every time he saw this he liked it
He didn't know the reason how the worm was able to do it ?
Maybe is this possible with earth's worm with time? With millions of years of evolution can they Evolve into this?
Or this is unique to this world?is this possible with genetics or there are other forces at the play he didn't know about it.
And right now even thinking about it this he didn't cared about it because his mind was now focusing on one thing.
"Feast"
"Feast"
"Feast"
Yes you may say all those arguments with himself about nutrition from this and that etc....etc were just hoax to convince his calculating part of brain to try new food.
Yes, just to try food.
If he was in modern world then just going to nearby fastfood chain or some diner could have gotten him variety of foods under 5mins and if he was truly bored and didn't wanted to go out and eat or order his meal and just wanted to slack off while binging novels and animes he could order meal and that too get delivered in under five minutes and still warm and tasty.
And most importantly he was missing his grandfather's and grandmother's Cooking .
During his life on the earth he had taken this things quite for granted. But after spending quite some time in forest without anything and anyone with him all alone he came to realise
A small thing for one could be a blessing for another one.
When he was small on earth he used to complain about drinking soup his grandmother made for him because it tasted too dull for him.
If now he was asked to drink this soup in exchange for his life.
He will gladly take the soup.
Now back to the feast fishing .
Jay who was having thought internally like this was still moving his hands sticking the brown stick worms to the vines .
He was sticking this worms specially near the end of the vines.
After sticking seven worms which were all he had got he took the vine and then sinked it into the flowing river .
"This should work okay today's my protein depends on it and also my feast".
On his first try to catch he saw a fish came and started to nib at worm due to which worm let out blood, sensing it was its prey fish became swift and started to take a bite .
Jay who looked at it with excitement in his eyes pulled the vine up .
"Too early " he clicked his tongue while saying that seeing his prey go away a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Well second time the charm"
Right ?
Just like germany right?
.....
Some days later...
"1...2....3.....4....5....6...."
"Six on this time ! Just wow"
After countless time figuring out the best place to fish and honing his skills with countless scarifies of stick worms
and practicing he had finally was able to do it properly.
Although he was a genius in theory when it comes to concept application to practicality was a different thing he thought.
With the worm's attaching themselves to the vine fishing was just made easier.
This technique was not from Modern earth and he could proudly say he had invented it himself.
A technique made by himself.
How much not advance it was how much basic it was still his finding , his invention.
Not by copying other's work his own work his own original work.
He was feeling atleast proud . If I get hands on a something like book
I would note that down he thought.
The name for his technique he had thought of was the worm technique yes the worm technique with his shitty naming sense he knew this was the most better one.
The feast for that day was cancelled by him and moved to next day until today with satisfing catch he was grinning like a child although he was still a child according to his physical form.
He the catch he had caught were not large and fat as salmons from the earth but were not small as size of finger either .
He tied the fishes to his waist with the help of vines and then got back to the cave and sturng the quartz together to start fire in much shorter while then before this was experience as living like a cavemen right now which he was proud of for some reason.
And after starting fire he stuck the sticks in the fish and he didn't have to do the hassle of removing the scales of the fish because the fish were scales in the river he didn't thought much about it because it was advantageous for him anyways.
He stucked the 6 sticks to 6 fishes and then started to grill them in fire while watching the beautiful sunset in the sky of the while grilling the fish and sitting on a wall against the cave.
Truly peaceful he thought.....
Suddenly a little smell of burning came one of the fish had turned blackish and other had turned brownish singaling they had been cooked so time to eat....
He thought.
He bringed out the apple like fruits on a big leaf and putted the cooked fish on the leaf too .
"Shall thou feast begun!" He spoke in the characters voice style from an anime to hype himself up.
So let's test the feast he thought.
First goes the fish , he took the cooked fish and took a bite in it and chewed it.
"Nam Nam Nam" (eating noises)
"It ..... Does not taste that bad and it is also not particularly good either" he spoke reviewing the grilled fish .
Begaars can't be choosers right he thought.
"But seriously I need some salt at the least food tastes too much dull without it and I am not some gandhi that I can survive without it" he muttered.
Now he tastes the fish with apple like fruit together.
"Hmmm "
"This one is good apple like fruit saves the day again "
"Atleast with sweet and starchy flavour of fruit I can survive without salt for at least sometime "he thought.
So acquiring protein is achieved he said to himself.
Now next target would be salt if possible.no it is definitely possible.
He had completed his nutrition goal but as we know it is in human nature to try
To get or desire afterall .
He was not a saint either that he will save people all the time nor some devil either he wanted to harm the people all the time .
He was just a human.
He had his own desires.
Now his current desire was to find salt.
.....
Some time passes ....
Jay is fully settled down in his forest survival life , bathing in the river in morning and going on fishing , eating apples like fruits and exploring here and
There and sometimes runing other times sticking stick worms on tree all of that and sometimes calculating equations using the half burned twigs on the cave walls and trying to recall original owners memory he was engrossed in all this living his life peace fully.
Unbeknownst to him a Being or a creature had sensed him .
"Sniff..... Sniff... Huh the smell of fire always comes at night I thought it was
A forest fire I guess I was wrong "
"this is my land and some body has camed over here and I not welcome them ... that is very unbecoming of me "
A roaring loud voice spoke out of the cave somewhere in the forest but nobody heard it
The voice was loud and silent at the same time.
It was un human and then slowly deep inside the cave two pale white lights gets awaked and slowly and steadily it came out those two lights becaming brighter and brighter.
Something was awokened which was not be disturb by humans .
Something abusdly powerful
It is both feared and revered
And jay woke it up without even knowing it.
To be continued.....
