Protected by the unique pungent scent of the camphor tree, the protagonist slept peacefully until dawn.

As soon as they came together, they habitually stretched their waists, and the protagonist felt that the injury was recovering well. Just this action of stretching his waist, he put aside the teeth that hurt yesterday, and now there is only a faint pulling feeling behind him, and there is no too severe pain.

The protagonist touches his right hind limb again, and it doesn't seem to hurt so much. The protagonist took two steps in the gap in the bark of the resting tree, and sure enough, yesterday this foot hurt when he touched the ground, so he could only carry it, and today he can already limp and barely land on the ground.

This is an unexpected joy.,The protagonist was rarely injured before.,I didn't find that my healing ability is so strong.,Before the protagonist was pessimistic and felt that it would take a hundred days to hurt his muscles and bones.。

However, after the joy has passed, the protagonist feels that his stomach is even more hungry and thirsty, and there are bursts of fire, as if stomach acid is protesting frantically, and even begins to erode the stomach wall.

There is nothing to eat, so the protagonist can only endure it and crawl out of the place where he spent the night.

The sun hadn't fully come alive from the horizon at this moment, and the sky had just turned white. Usually, as long as there are conditions, the protagonist will not get up so early. I couldn't sleep well last night, so I woke up early in the morning.

However, getting up early naturally has the advantage of getting up early, and the protagonist's eyes suddenly lit up, so he climbed on a branch next to him, and then lay on the camphor leaves and drank happily.

He drank the dew that had condensed on the leaves of the trees in the morning.

Dew drops are often considered by the ancients to be a very mysterious thing, and even specially collected to make tea and alchemy, in fact, when the ground object is strongly radiated and cooled at night, the temperature of the air in contact with the surface of the object drops, and after it drops to the "dew point", there is excess water vapor precipitation, and these excess water vapor condenses into water droplets attached to the ground object, which is dew. There is nothing special about it.

In the eyes of human beings, dew drops are crystal clear, transparent and shiny in the sun, and easily disappear, which is why they are endowed with many literary or artistic beauty. The main character, on the other hand, can see the muddy dirt in the dewdrops......

If it weren't for the thirst, the protagonist wouldn't want to drink this water.

After drinking enough, the protagonist feels that he has recovered a lot of strength. But instead of rushing on the road, he waited until the sun rose high. At this time, the nocturnal fierce insects completely return to the nest.

Although there are a lot of predatory insects during the day, it is easier to deal with than those who are good at sneak attacks at night, at least for a strong man like the protagonist.

Today's injuries have lessened, and the protagonist is walking faster than usual. He saw the direction of the sunrise from the high place of the camphor tree and confirmed that he had not gone in the wrong direction yesterday.

So the protagonist continues to move in the direction of due south, overcoming various obstacles along the way, maintaining a forward speed of about twenty or thirty meters per hour. It's a lot faster than yesterday, but it's still slower than ants on flat ground with fewer obstacles.

Fortunately, the protagonist did not encounter any dangerous insects along the way, but many timid gnats were startled by the protagonist.

There are also large bugs, such as earthworms crawling out of the ground in the shadows, giant snails, etc., all of which are vegetarian docile insects, and the protagonist will not be attacked when they pass by.

The protagonist can't help but think that the forest is not as dangerous as it seems!

But the protagonist's stomach is unstoppably getting hungrier and hungrier, and he even feels like he can't walk, and the little water he drinks in the morning can't offset the hunger.

Although there are many insects around, the protagonist has never hunted alone, and he does not want to catch a single insect and eat it raw. has been a human being for so many years and lives in a big country of food, and the protagonist still has some bottom lines in terms of food.

The protagonist can only keep an eye on the plants around him, if only there was a pine tower full of pine seeds, the pine seeds are still cracked, and the kernels inside are wrapped under the thin and crispy skin, the kernels are pale yellow, and the bite is full of oil!

But it's spring, and last year's pine nuts have long been eaten by all kinds of insects, and the rest are buried by dead branches and floating soil, so the delicious pine nuts can only exist in the protagonist's fantasies and saliva.

This hopeful look around is not without its harvest, the protagonist sees a malnourished shepherd's cabbage, which is barely surviving on the forest floor and has actually bloomed.

Camellia is widely distributed in temperate regions of the world, and can be used as a whole herb for medicine, and the stems and leaves are eaten as vegetables, and the seeds contain oil. In the protagonist's impression, the meat-filled dumplings wrapped in shepherd's cabbage are particularly delicious.

This shepherd's cabbage has already flowered, the leaves are estimated to be relatively old, and the seeds have not yet borne fruit. The protagonist tries to take a bite, and sure enough, the fiber is very thick and chewy, and it tastes bad when eaten raw.

The protagonist barely swallows a mouthful and gives up, and the body begins to resist continuing to eat. Although it is an omnivorous insect, the big-headed ants still eat more meat than vegetarian, and vegetarianism also eats some nutritious seeds, and unlike cabbage worms, which like to gnaw leaves, probably because the ants lack enzymes and microorganisms in their stomachs to digest raw vegetables.

The protagonist moves on, but after he hits the road, he senses that something is wrong.

This feeling of something wrong is not a sense of something unusual or smelly, but a sense of vigilance that emerges from the bottom of my heart.

The protagonist doesn't dare to be careless, he looks around, there are too many obstacles around him, and he can't see anything unusual at all. I touched the air with my antennae, the air flow in the forest was not violent, and there were all kinds of rotten breaths, damp breaths, and various sounds in the air: the rustle of leaves, the occasional insect chirping, etc., but I couldn't smell anything abnormal.

The protagonist is not completely relieved, but he can't stop either, he cautiously turns around in three steps and continues to move forward, trying to walk in an open section that is not easy to be ambushed.

At this time, a bright red color directly in front of him catches the attention of the protagonist.

What is that? The distance is too far away for the protagonist to see really, and he can only see that it is a red round thing?

In nature, this bright color on animals is generally a warning color, which means that it is poisonous and difficult to provoke, or to disguise itself as not to be provoked.

Is this a ladybug? Or a lily beetle? For a moment, the protagonist can only think that these two bugs are red and relatively round.

Lily beetles are okay, they are vegetarians. Ladybugs, however, are carnivorous, with smaller ladybugs eating aphids, and larger ladybugs that have seen them attack the paving ants in the wedding ceremony.

What the hell is this, it is right in the direction of the protagonist's progress, and if you go around it, you may have to walk for an extra half an hour.

After observing for a while, the protagonist notices that the red round thing is not moving, isn't it an insect?

The protagonist has the courage to move forward little by little, as long as he is not attacked by a sneak attack, the protagonist will not be afraid of any fierce insect with all his strength!
