Hudson and Keith returned not long after, their clothes a little dirty, especially their trousers, which seemed to have rubbed against a lot of plants and dirt, and they still had a short wooden stick in their hands.

"Hey, it's really not a simple matter to find a monster, there is no road in the forest at all. There were not so many obstacles on the way here, and the vegetation was relatively sparse, and there were traces of people. But there's really no way out, and Keith and I can't go far. There are bumps everywhere, plants, gravel, and a path needs to be carved out. ”

Hudson rambled on and found that no one was paying attention to him! Look at Lynn, her eyes were a little red, she looked very unhappy, her cheeks were bulging, and she looked a little cute with her own baby fat.

Alice was expressionless and didn't say a word, Hudson felt that Alice was good anywhere, but she was too cold, with a kind of aristocratic arrogance.

Ivan was roasting the rabbit when the faint smell of meat came and made Hudson feel a little hungry.

"I said what happened when Keith and I weren't there? Lynn seems to have just cried, Ivan, why don't you speak, why do you have a black face?"

Not only Hudson, but Keith also looked confused and didn't know what was going on. Alice pulled the two aside, and after a whisper, the two of them figured out what was going on. Hudson walked up to Ivan and whispered:

"Ivan, I thought you were a master of picking girls, but now I realize that you don't know anything about girls! It's natural for girls to like to be pretty and cute, and I should leave the search for food to me. And if you say a few good words, you just ask for trouble. ”

Hudson spoke eloquently, detailing his way of getting along with girls. Ivan was a little speechless in his heart, these people are too optimistic, do they really think that hunting is simple? Under the law of the jungle, how can there be simple prey, if it weren't for Lin's water binding technique, it would be evil if he could catch a rabbit, or even his own fireball technique would be difficult to guarantee that he would hit the target, and this is not a flat place at a glance.

Just as Hudson was about to say something more, Ivan removed a rabbit leg and told him to shut up.

"Well, it's delicious! Ivan, your barbecue skills are okay, I even remember the seasoning, it's really yours, I'm served, I'm on your side, who makes us have a good relationship?"

Ivan ignored Hudson, a two-faced guy, and took out a knife to divide the rabbit meat among a few people, although the portion was not much, but it was meat, even if it was not full, it was enough to replenish his strength. Several of them are of the age of growing their bodies, and the amount of food is relatively large, so Ivan can only advise everyone to be patient.

After resting for a while after eating, Ivan once again issued an order to find the monster. With security in mind, Ivan has resorted to the least efficient form of collective action. A group of five people began the search for the monster.

The primeval forest is definitely not the beautiful mountains and rivers that people imagine, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the air is fresh, and the winding paths are quiet. The reality is dim and oppressive, overgrown with weeds, and there are not many roads to walk on at all. The smell of decay was in the air, and there was a lot of moisture in the air, which made people's chests stuffy.

With a stick in his right hand and a knife in his left, Ivan cut through the thorns and opened the way at the front. Five people turned left and right, avoiding the impassable part. Forests are not as smooth as roads, and progress is extremely inefficient, and most of the time and energy are spent on opening roads.

After an hour or so, everyone couldn't support it anymore, and Lin couldn't care about Ivan's decision anymore, shouting to rest, Alice's skirt was already almost torn, and there were a few scratches on her fair legs, which looked pitiful. Ivan felt that he really couldn't go any further.

"Okay, let's take a break, the search for the monster is in a hurry. Let's take our time, but this thing is always done, and I hope you can be prepared. I think the torment in the forest is the focus of the assessment, and there is no need to simply defeat a first-order demonic beast. ”

After explaining, the mood of several people calmed down a lot, no longer full of negative emotions, it seemed that they were in a lot of energy, and then they didn't find anything after walking and stopping, only a few monkeys and some herbivores were found. Ivan asked Hudson to show off his ability to hunt, and Hudson was confident but found nothing.

"I said these things are too flexible, my magic is hard to hit, the point is that I can't get close to them before I escape, I can't chase them at all. ”

Ivan had known that this would be the case, and now he made everyone understand that everything in the forest is not so simple.

"Lynn, you and I and Hudson cooperate to try to catch a dinner, we consume a lot, and we can't last long just by bringing the food. ”

"I don't want to, I can't be your accomplice to kill small animals. And you always dislike me for being stupid, you are so capable, then go and catch it yourself? What do you want me to do? Hmph!"

Lin retaliated against Ivan with resolute non-cooperation, she could not accept that the animal she had captured was killed by Ivan, and the dead rabbit made her feel deeply guilty.

"You're so kind now, I didn't see you sad when you ate rabbit meat, but you ate the most, and you don't want to eat it again at night?"

"You've killed you and you're not allowed me to eat it? I still have sandwiches so I don't go along with you. ”

Ivan couldn't do anything about it, and tried several times with Hudson to no avail, and all he got was Lynn's schadenfreude. At this point, we can only give up, and it seems that we can only find some plants as supplements. Having marked along the way, Ivan felt that it was time to go back after seeing that several people were physically exhausted and in a trance.

Okay, the first day was just a bit of a get-together, and that's it for today. We began to return the way we came, and you were on the lookout for what could be used as food. In the previous training, the teacher mentioned that several common plants have edible parts, so let's try to find them. ”

Survival in the wild does not care about food, water, shelter and safety, and there is no shortage of all conditions at present. The danger has not yet been discovered, there is still food left, and there is no problem for the time being. After several failed hunts, the men returned with a few wild fruits, as well as seeds and tubers of some plants.

It was getting dark, and after returning to the cave, the few people realized Ivan's foresight. I can't imagine sleeping in the forest or something, and having a simple place to live can be reassuring. A few people sat on the simple bunks and relaxed their tired bodies.

"Well, now you know my foresight, or we'll be tired and looking for a place to stay, and if we don't find a good place before dark, I wonder if you'll be scared to death." ”

Hudson cooperated and praised the captain for his cleverness, Alice nodded in acquiescence, and Keith had to admit that Ivan had a point, only Lynn looked unappreciative.

A few wild fruits were given to Lynn and Alice, and the plant tubers were roasted over a fire and distributed to Hudson and Keith. The remaining plant seeds, Ivan, put them in a metal bottle, cooked them over the fire, and kept them for himself.

Phew, it's sour and astringent, and it's unpalatable. I still have sandwiches, why should I eat this?"

Lin said in disgust that she was about to throw away the wild fruit, but was stopped by a stern look from Ivan. Alice also frowned tightly, thinking that unripe fruit would not taste good.

"What kind of rhizome is this! Hudson took a bite of the rhizome and smacked his lips, apparently the smell wasn't so kind, and Keith nodded in acknowledgement.

Ivan didn't say much, and forced several people to eat the first unforgettable picnic in their lives. Seeing a few people finish what they were doing with painful faces, he didn't care about the sandwiches and bread they brought.

As for himself, if the seeds of half his life are boiled in water, will they be something that people eat? But as a last resort, Ivan does not plan to use the food he brought, he is the captain, so he naturally leads by example.

The night of the forest came very early, and the darkness and desertion brought a different kind of fear. Ivan himself, who had the same experience, was also a little frightened, not to mention several other people. Lin wanted to talk about something to relieve the depression in her heart, but was severely stopped by Ivan. Sprinkled some insect repellent powder at the entrance of the cave and put away the dry firewood by the fire, Ivan began to make arrangements for the night.

"Sleeping in the forest is necessary for someone to keep vigil, the fire can effectively drive away wild beasts, relieve the pressure of the night watchman, and can also bring some vision, but when encountering magical beasts, it has no effect, and someone needs to be vigilant. Now let me arrange the order of duty. Ivan said, pointing to the firewood that had been divided into four parts.

"The firewood is almost dry and will burn for most of the night. I divide them into four parts, and you burn them slowly, one for each person, and wake up the next one when you are done. Lynn you're the first, Alice the second, Keith the third, Hudson you're the fourth, and I'm the last till dawn. ”

"Why am I the first? So much firewood, enough to burn until dawn, I don't care if I want the last one. "Lin has a big opinion about Ivan putting himself first, and feels that Ivan is targeting herself.

"No, it's very dangerous before dawn, and people get sleepy easily, and you can't do it in the end. At night, everyone was not asleep, and it was easy to solve any problems. ”

Ivan also obeyed Lynn's IQ, and if he didn't appreciate arranging the best order for her, these firewood would be able to burn through the middle of the night.

Lin wanted to say something, but Alice whispered through her, and Lin nodded suddenly, knowing that Ivan was taking care of herself.

"Lin, you have a good night, don't doze off, don't make a sound, and don't run around, do you hear?" Ivan deliberately advised.

"I know, you don't need to be verbose, I'll be worth the night, you can sleep on you!"

Lin is very dissatisfied with Ivan's distrustful behavior, which is simply treating herself as a child, Lin is a genius magician!

"Also, don't burn too big, try to burn as long as possible, the weather is very hot, and the fire is just for warning. ”

Ivan, who had already walked to the temporary bunk, turned around and said again. Lynn almost exploded in anger, like a kitten about to go berserk, trying to scratch Ivan hard. Seeing this, Ivan had no choice but to shut up and let it go.
