Occasionally, a meat turtle or two crawled by, these strange creatures didn't seem to be interested in humans, and they were always happy to find their own kind, and then kill each other.

Ye Mu stared boredly at the meat turtles that were biting each other not far away, he really didn't understand what was going on in the minds of these creatures, it was a miracle that they were not extinct yet.

"Uncle Yuhei Nonaka, how do I feel that you have lost a lot of weight." Dai Qing looked at the chef in front of him without blinking, and suddenly spoke.

The chef touched his cheek and looked strange: "It seems to be a little?" ”

Ye Mu also looked up at the chef and found that his figure did seem to have dried up a lot, and his originally round face now seemed to have only one skin and bone left, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.

It doesn't seem to be like this during the day.

"Maybe the living conditions have been too bad recently, and I'm getting fat and losing weight fast." The chef smiled and explained.

"Oh." Dai Qing nodded, looked around, and said again: "This ghost place is really ghostly, I really don't want to stay here." ”

"I also think it's very uncomfortable for me here." Ye Mu also sighed.

"I think it's nice here." The chef smiled and said, "The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant, this is what it feels like to return to nature!" ”

Ye Mu and Dai Qing glanced at the chef in surprise, and then stopped talking.

The chef's aesthetics are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and Ye Mu even wonders if he has eaten fruit and eaten his head.

The three of them continued to sit quietly by the fire, silent.

Under the light of the fire, the cook suddenly stood up, he opened his arms, greedily sucked the air of the mountain forest, and his body was as thin as a dried corpse.

The chef said happily and excitedly: "Otherwise, we will stay here, the environment of this mountain is so good, and there is no danger!" ”

Ye Mu raised his head slightly, squinted at the chef, and then quietly gave Dai Qing a look.

"I didn't hear you say that when I first went up the mountain." Ye Mu said in a deep voice.

The cook slowly walked under a tree, grabbed a meat turtle from the ground, pulled out the Santoku knife at his waist, skillfully cut off the head of the meat turtle, and then broke off a two-finger-thick wooden branch from the tree.

Ignoring the frightened gazes of Ye Mu and the others, the chef inserted a wooden branch into the neck of the meat turtle, and easily put the meat turtle on the fire and barbecued it, and suddenly a large area of smoke floated in the air.

"Seriously, let's just stay, there's fruit and meat, and it's so beautiful and safe." The chef looked up at Ye Mu and Dai Qing, smacked his lips and said, "Suddenly I feel that you guys are also fragrant." ”

These words made the two of them feel creepy for a while.

Ye Mu and Dai Qing glanced at each other, and the two quietly held their weapons in their hands.

Cook... Wrong!

The skin of the meat turtle was quickly roasted by the chef, and a strange smell of rancid smell entered the noses of Ye Mu and the others.

In the incredulous gaze of the two, the chef did not shy away from putting the meat turtle to his mouth and feasting on it, the meat turtle's organs had not been taken out, and only the outermost layer of the meat turtle was roasted by the fire.

As the chef bit like a beast, the skin of the meat turtle was torn off and swallowed into its stomach along with dark red blood.

The organs in the body of the meat turtle flow out of the body along with the body fluids that have not yet condensed, and the organs are connected to each other, dragging and falling to the ground, which is extremely disgusting.

Ye Mu's stomach was churning for a while, and he took out his long sword and pointed it at the chef and shouted: "You are enough!" What the hell are you doing! ”

Ye Mu's roar suddenly woke everyone up, and they looked in the direction that Ye Mu's sword tip was pointing in surprise.

The island chef was devouring the meat turtle in his hand with excitement on his face, and the scene was extremely bloody and disgusting.

"This is probably the after-effect of eating that fruit." Ye Mu's expression was solemn, and his tone was low: "Catch him first, otherwise there may be some mess!" ”

Qin Aowu replied and rushed forward first, wanting to grab the chef's arm.

When the chef saw someone rushing towards him, he thought he was coming to snatch the food in his hand, so he roared angrily, and stabbed Qin Aowu with a dagger.

Qin Aowu's body was so agile, he flashed sideways, and raised his foot and kicked on the chef's stomach.

The cook was kicked out with a terrible howl, and the dagger and the meat turtle in his hand came out.

"Ahh You people! I'm kind enough to let you stay here, not only do you want to steal my food! The cook struggled to his feet from the ground and roared angrily at the crowd.

"Stay here? Grab food?" Qin Aowu, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and the movements under his feet were also a beat slower.

The chef took advantage of Qin Aowu's failure to catch up, holding his abdomen and screaming 'ouch, 'ouch', turned around and ran into the depths of the forest.

Qin Aowu's face changed greatly, and he wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Ye Mu.

"Stop chasing, this forest is really weird, don't run around at night."

"What about Uncle Chef?" Lu Xin asked worriedly.

"He's hiding from us now, and it's not easy for us to catch him, so we have to wait for tomorrow." Ye Mu sighed and continued: "And seeing that he was quite skilled in his movements when he roasted the meat turtle just now, I guess it was some strange change that happened after he ate the fruit, in a sense, he is more familiar with this place than us, and he should not encounter danger." ”

"Okay..."Lu Xin's face was full of worry.

Everyone looked in the direction where the chef had disappeared, and it was as if a boulder had been pressed in their hearts.

No one wants to abandon their companions, and the chef's sudden change of temperament leaves everyone at a loss for what to do, so they can only rest in place and wait until dawn tomorrow to make a decision.

In the early morning, the faint light shines on people's faces through the dense foliage, and the darker the place, the more dazzling the light becomes.

Ye Mu yawned and stood up, extinguished the fire beside him, and woke up the people who were still asleep next to him to prepare to continue walking.

"Let's go in the direction of the smoke, we should be almost there."

Lu Xin asked suspiciously, "Aren't you looking for Uncle Chef?"

Ye Mu glanced at Lu Xin and said slowly: "Find, but can't look randomly, we must first understand what the situation is in this mountain forest, and only by prescribing the right medicine can we solve the problem, if we wander around in the forest rashly, it is inevitable that we will encounter danger ourselves, and if we move towards the cooking smoke, it is also possible to meet Uncle Yuhei Nonaka, no matter what he says or does at that time, we will tie him up first." ”

This is the so-called overall situation, Ye Mu doesn't want to be this captain, because he hates this high-sounding feeling of abandoning his companions.

Chef Yuhei Nonaka has not been in contact with him for a long time, Ye Mu just has a good impression of him, the chef's temperament has changed greatly after eating the fruit, and Ye Mu can temporarily abandon him because of the safety of the team.

But if the victim this time is replaced by any of Dai Qing, Liu Wen, and Qin Aowu, Ye Mu is estimated to be in a dilemma again.

Ye Mu is such a character, in the face of feelings, he can't make rational trade-offs.

In fact, not only Ye Mu, but also Qin Aowu, Dai Qing and even Ma Zizhou, who had already parted ways, were all temperamental, and they were not suitable to be a leader who led everyone to survive.

In this way, the only person who is suitable to lead everyone to live in this cruel forest is Dai Qing.

Ye Mu chuckled, thinking that if Dai Qing wasn't for this kind of character who was used to relying on others, he must be a decisive and wise leader.

Lu Xin felt that what Ye Mu said seemed to have some truth, so he nodded and obediently followed behind everyone and continued to move forward.

When it was close to noon, everyone saw the white smoke rising slowly not far away through the gap between the mangroves, and everyone's faces showed a look of joy, and the destination of this trip was getting closer and closer to them.

Ye Mu's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "It's not me who strikes everyone, but I still advise everyone not to have too much hope, do you remember the scene where Uncle Chef roasted the meat turtle with fire last night?" I suspect that the smoke is not a human village, but a roast turtle like the uncle's victim. ”

Dai Qing was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have an understanding: "If the people who eat these fruits will become like uncles, then it is just lunch time, and they will make a fire to roast the meat turtle?"
