Chapter 397: Desperate Survival (3rd Monthly Pass)

"We've discussed, it's not a good place to stay for long." The next morning, Shan Yao found Li Teng.

"Hmm."

"Some werewolves have escaped, and maybe they will return with other werewolves, such as more mages, and if we are defeated again and forced into the woods behind, we will only be dead. We discussed and decided to get out of here as soon as possible and go out into the wider world, where we might find a safe place to live. Shan Yao mentioned it to Li Teng.

"I agree with your proposal." Li Teng agreed very simply, but there was a voice in his heart...... The wide world out there? I'm afraid it's more dangerous than this wood, and I'll die faster after I get out.

However, the crowd had no choice.

With such a population, they have to eat a lot of food every day, there is no prey left in the woods, there are no more in the swamps, and the bark and leaves are extremely unpalatable, and it is impossible to feed this population.

To find a way to survive, one must venture out into the vast world outside.

Therefore, Li Teng will not raise objections.

Pushing the cart in the woods camp, bringing all the resources that could be scavenged in the werewolf camp, and taking the few remaining rations, the team of more than a hundred people left the werewolf camp in a mighty way.

Came to the wide world outside.

It is said that it is a vast world, but it is not vast at all.

There are still endless woods.

It's just that there is a path that I don't know if it was built or stepped on by a werewolf to lead to a distant place.

And this road seems to be full of crises.

Who knows if it's a gateway to another werewolf camp, or even a large werewolf barracks, town, or something?

If you don't take this road, the terrain in the woods next to it is very difficult, and the terrain is uneven, and there are deciduous shrubs and the like, so you can't move forward at all.

And the absence of roads also means that the places to enter are more inhospitable and dangerous.

This scripted world is different from the King of Forced Kings of the Anniversary, and it is not for them to come in and enjoy.

It's about making it difficult for them to survive.

If there is no difficulty, the script will also take the initiative to create difficulties for them.

For Li Teng now, the biggest dilemma he faces is his appetite.

Drawing those runes and mastering the magic gave him a combat power far superior to that of other actors.

However, the great consumption made him quickly weaken once he became hungry, even weaker than other actors, and almost completely lost his combat effectiveness.

This makes his desire for a stable food source much stronger than that of other actors.

So even if Shan Yao doesn't propose to leave, he himself will leave.

Staying in a place without food will only starve to death.

After marching for more than two hours, the team temporarily settled in a clearing on the side of the road.

Shan Yao arranged for several squads to go out hunting.

Li Teng also led one of the teams, and Anna and Liu Hui followed this team.

An hour later, all the teams that had gone out hunting had returned to their makeshift camp.

There was a bewildered look on everyone's face.

After coming out of the werewolf camp, there was no prey in this woods! Not even a rabbit can be found.

None of these trees bear fruit, and there are no edible wild vegetables on the ground.

This is really unconscionable and unexpected to everyone.

Li Teng's team found a large bag of food.

It looks like it's more than ten pounds.

After opening it, everyone took a few steps back, and their faces showed extreme ...... Complex expressions.

Some people regret it and want to gouge out their eyes.

I really regret it for half a year, and maybe I will have nightmares at night.

A large bag of all kinds of insects wrapped and rolled in it, and normal people would be sick to their stomachs when they saw it.

In fact, Li Teng was also sick to his stomach when he looked at it.

But he still lit a fire and burned a pot of insect soup.

The taste of the cooking is so indescribable that everyone hides away.

There are also some people who just accidentally smell a trace of it in the air and start retching.

In the distant and disgusted gaze of everyone, Li Teng ate all the dozen catties of cooked insects.

It's unpalatable.

After eating, Li Teng himself felt nauseous.

Wherever he went, everyone else would subconsciously take a few steps away from him, as if they were worried that the worms in his stomach would suddenly come back to life, spew out of him, and crawl over to bite them.

Even Anna and Yoo Hui began to dislike him, although they tried their best to refrain from showing it.

When I was in the desert before, it wasn't that I hadn't seen Li Teng eat insects.

But eating so much at one time is still a little unacceptable.

……

After the hunt was over, after a short rest, Shan Yao urged the team to set off again.

They must leave this dead forest as soon as possible, otherwise they will all be forced to eat insects with Li Teng in the end.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

In the evening, when it was almost dark, the procession was still in the woods.

No one knows exactly how long the road is or what it looks like at the end.

Anyway, it feels like it's endless.

After stationing, Shan Yao was divided into groups again and let everyone go out hunting.

Bags and an additional quest were also given to the hunting party.

If you really can't catch the prey, if you can catch the bug, catch the bug back.

Regardless of whether anyone eats it or not, at least it will not be wasted, the mage in the camp has a good appetite and is not a picky eater, and he can eat as much as he wants.

An hour later, when it was completely dark, the hunting team returned to camp.

There is no prey.

So all their time is spent catching insects.

I caught more than 100 catties of insects and came back, and then helped set up a stove to make a fire, and they were all boiled.

Of course, after the bugs were poured into the pot of boiling water, they turned around and ran away.

"Try it, if you continue to starve, you won't have any combat effectiveness." Li Teng was eating and beckoning to the camp members who were watching from afar.

Eventually, a dozen or so hungry members came over, trying to overcome their discomfort and try what the food was like.

Two people looked at the frothy insect soup and vomited on the spot.

In the end, there were only three people who stayed with Li Teng.

Shan Yao is one of them.

"Actually, it's not that unpleasant, everyone can try it." Shan Yao shoved a bug into his mouth and turned his head to the camp members. Although, his expression was very ugly.

"The worm in your mouth is still moving!" Someone reminded Shan Yao in horror.

Shan Yao hurriedly spit out the worms in his mouth, and even bounced off the stone he was sitting on.

"How can it still move? It's been boiling for ten minutes, and it's already dead. Li Teng's disapproving expression.

The taste of hunger was uncomfortable, and slowly someone came over, and finally more than a dozen people tried this feast of insects.
