"What is the matter now? We can't get out, we're trapped in the depths of this dense forest, and if we can't find a way out, we'll either be killed by the strange things here or starve to death because of lack of food!"

At this time, Liu Jianli said with some panic.

And as soon as Liu Jianli said this, it attracted the angry eyes of Elder Flame Turtle and Elder Shuiyu, this Liu Jianli is also a brain, saying this kind of thing at this time, but you still say it so loudly, which makes some soldiers already hear it, isn't this affecting morale and shaking the morale of the army?

"yes, I don't know when we'll be able to get out. ”

"I don't have much dry food left, and that's why I've been saving for the past two days, otherwise I won't have anything left, and even if I have that, it's enough to eat two meals. ”

"You also saved some, I was slightly injured during the battle, so I didn't save it, whether you can have something to eat at the next meal or two!"

Hearing the whispers from the underground, the military commanders present were all cultivators, all of them were deaf and clear-sighted, and with the help of spiritual power, they could all listen to these whispered discussions.

As a result, the eyes of others looking at Liu Jianli also began to be unkind, as if they were complaining that he had said the wrong thing.

And Liu Jianli obviously regretted it as soon as the words came out, but the voice had already sounded, and it was ringing in the ears of the soldiers, and the morale had been hit and irreparable.

But no matter how demoralized he was, he had to find a way out, and after a day of wandering around again, he left countless traces in the dense forest, leaving hundreds of corpses, and nothing else was gained, he didn't find the way out, and all the food on his body was exhausted.

A day has passed again, and the food has been completely cut off, and the needs to maintain the body all rely on hunting foreign beasts in the dense forest, and the military food of the entire army also needs to be maintained by hunting foreign beasts.

Hunting alien beasts requires combat effectiveness, and if you want soldiers to have the ability to fight with all kinds of strange and strange beasts and creatures that can be eaten or not, you need to let them be full, but if you don't hunt alien beasts, you can't eat enough, and you won't have the combat power to hunt alien beasts, so you fall into a dead loop, and there is only one way to break this dead circle, that is, to rely on human lives to pile up, hunt enough for all the soldiers who survive the battle, and so on, day after day.

Even the hungry soldiers have been trained by everyone, and they are more than ten meters away to distinguish whether the enemy can eat it, what the quality of the meat is, how to eat it, where it can be eaten, what will be the adverse consequences after eating, and so on.

It is enough to see how long this group of people have been in the depths of the dense forest in the blessed land of Lijiashan, it has been about half a month.

And this half a month of hell-like days has also brushed down a large number of people, from the original 10,000 people, except for the guards who came and fell behind along the way, the guard posts, the soldiers who stayed in Lijia Village, and the open and dark sentry that blocked Lijia Village, when they came to the dense forest, it should be about 9,000 people, and they found the Lord of the Spirit Country and absorbed more than 500 people, a total of 9,500 people.

And in the past half a month, nearly 4,000 people have been lost one after another, which means that more than half of the losses have been lost, and the casualties are heavy!

These are all soldiers who sacrificed for the food of the whole army, and the corresponding result is that the remaining more than 5,000 people still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

But these are all exchanged for the lives of the soldiers, not only the dead soldiers are pitiful, the living soldiers are also under great pressure, because every day they need to worry about the food of the new day, every day there will be people who die in the process of finding food for the whole army, no one knows if the next one is themselves, and these surviving soldiers eat food full of the blood of the Pao Ze brothers every day, and the mental pressure is huge, every time they eat, they search for people to pray silently, and they are praying to the great Xianwu Emperor in their hearts, so as to eliminate their psychological pressure on eating the food exchanged for the lives of their comrades。

But this way of decompression, the way to release the psychological burden is not a long-term solution after all, it will not completely eliminate the psychological barriers of the soldiers, these negative emotions will only be accumulated, hidden in the depths of the heart, knowing that one day, can no longer be hidden, soothing, under a specific stimulus, explode!

This situation was also seen by the commanders, after all, they were also under tremendous pressure, compared to the soldiers who did not know much, they knew the whole situation better, and in a simple sentence, they were hovering on the verge of annihilation.

And at this time, Elder Flame Turtle also gradually discovered that something was wrong, but what was wrong with this, he couldn't say, anyway, he just felt that something was wrong, something was wrong everywhere!

"Guys, how much food do we have?"

The Lord of the Spirit of Words asked a little weakly, the bumps during this period of time made the Lord of the Spirit of Words, who seemed to be not lightly injured, aggravate his injuries, coupled with the lack of food, although the food of the Lord of the Spirit of Words was not only sufficient, but also carefully selected, the most essential part, but these still could not alleviate its injuries, so it was getting weaker and weaker now.

Today is a daily food statistics report meeting, the main purpose is to let all the senior management know how much food is left, and then arrange the next itinerary according to this food.

"The dry food carried by our army has been completely exhausted before the sixteenth day, and the rest is the edible game that has been hunted one after another, including edible plants that provide us with a lot of water, red fruits, and dried meat that is easy to preserve after roasting, and fresh meat from yesterday. ”

After Elder Yan Ling asked a question, the water fish didn't know where to take out a charcoal pen, and there was an animal skin, on which the food flow of these days was clearly recorded, including abnormal wear and tear, expenses, etc., and now these foods are life for them, so it is understandable to treat them like this.

"Well, ahem...... It seems that even if the number of people in our food reserves has been decreasing these days, we have not increased the amount of food we get per capita, which is not good!"

The Lord of the Spirit Country sighed, and his face became even more ugly.

And the other chief officials had no choice but to listen silently.

"Do you have a good idea of how to deal with the declining numbers, the demoralization of the army, and even the possibility of mutiny if the food supply is not available, or if the number of dead and wounded increases again?"

The Lord of the Spirit Country himself obviously has no choice, he is injured like this, and he may die that day due to an injury that cannot be healed, let alone scratch his head to think of a solution.

However, it is obvious that there is nothing they can do about these things, otherwise they would not have come down for so many days, and they can only watch the troops who are constantly losing because they want to get food, and the food reserves that cannot be improved no matter what.

In fact, the reason why the casualties are so large is also related to the fierce battle of the overturn, every day you need to worry about the food for the next day, so there is not much time to rest at all, coupled with the dangerous dense forest, people need to be on guard in the middle of the night, and eat food in exchange for the lives of their comrades every day, the fate of tomorrow is uncertain, and the double pressure from the spirit and body leads to a continuous decline in combat effectiveness, and the casualties are even more serious, falling into a series of dead cycles.
