Excessive ferocity due to caution

When the brown bear severed its central nervous system with a sharp scalpel, it found itself completely unable to move.

As the rain intensified, its consciousness gradually faded.

For some reason, I recalled some things from my childhood.

It was very thin back then.

On a similar stormy day, it vaguely remembered two terrifying upright apes searching for food all over the mountains and fields...

That was the most terrifying creature it had ever seen in its life.

What saber-toothed tigers, what king cobras? In front of those two terrifying and insane upright apes... they were all food!

Its parents paid the ultimate price, using their own flesh and blood to lure the two upright apes, which finally allowed it and its brother to escape the thunderstorm area.

"I really shouldn't have come back..."

The brown bear thought this before its consciousness faded.

Black tentacles clung to its wounds, constantly devouring its life force.

The bare-chested Zhao Yi, standing in front of the brown bear, was having many deep, gruesome wounds on his body that revealed the bone, and they were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Zhao Yi deliberately took off his clothes because he didn't want to leave any traces in the life-or-death struggle.

He slowly closed his eyes, raised his hands, and felt the life force surging through his limbs and bones, unable to help but groan in comfort.

A sickly smile appeared on his pale, handsome face.

It was cleansed by the raindrops bathed in moonlight.

It possessed a sacred beauty.

[After a life-or-death battle, your Body Strengthening Domain has been activated, increasing your physical attributes and Strength by +1.]

As Zhao Yi was enjoying the life force, the system sent a notification.

This is the effect of strengthening the body.

Zhao Yi can increase his strength through combat!

Currently, his physical enhancement level is F-. At this level, Zhao Yi can increase his strength by a total of 6 points through combat!

Now, even with the weakened state, he possesses a strength value of 18!

...

The rain gradually intensified.

Zhao Yi wiped the blood off his body, put on his clothes, took a torch, and dragged the brown bear's carcass in a certain direction.

During the day, he followed Ed and had already memorized all the terrain and soil distribution in the vicinity. Now, all he needed to do was drag the brown bear carcass to the pre-planned location and make sure it wouldn't get wet from the rain.

This process took Zhao Yi a lot of effort.

Although his strength far exceeded that of a normal person, it was still inconvenient to drag an adult brown bear through the dense forest of the mountains.

Especially when the rain wets the muddy ground, the road becomes very slippery.

Stumbling along the way.

Finally, he arrived at a very small cave.

Compared to Ed's cave, this one was much more dangerous and filthy.

Poisonous insects hide in the shadows of the crevices in the rocks, while the jagged rocks jut out with their sharp edges pointing upwards.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi is popular.

He went to great lengths to bring out a piece of firewood from Ed's cave because fire was crucial to his plan!

Humans became strong because of fire.

His plan was based on the idea that fire was necessary to produce the aurora!

The flames drove away the poisonous insects and the cold, leaving a brilliant glow inside the cave.

Instead of sitting down to enjoy the rain, Zhao Yi left the small cave to collect firewood that was not yet completely soaked by the rain!

This task is difficult for ordinary players, but it is extremely simple for Zhao Yi.

Because... he has the most comprehensive and detailed map of the area in his mind!

And it's updated in real time!

Zhao Yi's busy figure drew sighs from the viewers in the live stream.

...

However, I admit that Zhao Yijing's ability to pinpoint routes is amazing, but he seems to do a lot of unnecessary things.

With a top wilderness survival expert by your side, there's no way you'd lack food, right?

I also think Zhao Yi was being overly cautious this time.

You bunch of idiots! Do you think a Hell difficulty dungeon is that easy? This is only the first day! You guys don't actually think you can survive fifteen days just by following Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford, do you...?

...

After preparing all the firewood, Zhao Yi sat for another hour and a half until the rain outside intensified. Only then did he cut meat from the brown bear and roast it over the fire.

Golden oil droplets slowly dripped from the meat, making a sizzling sound.

Fragrant.

Unfortunately, the smell of mud and dust from the rain and the fresh scent of plants will quickly mask the aroma of the barbecue.

Ed's physique was clearly greatly enhanced by the copy.

Zhao Yi didn't want this guy's dog nose to smell his food.

I'm full, but thirsty.

Zhao Yi glanced at the rain outside.

...

[Highly Toxic Rainwater: Not for Drinking]

[Note: If you can boil it in a container and then filter it once with charcoal shavings, then you can drink it in moderation (do not drink more than 1 liter within 24 hours, otherwise some unknown metallic substances in it will gradually accumulate, leading to kidney failure!)]

...

Taking out his indestructible scalpel, Zhao Yi directly shaved a large rock into two stone bowls.

Fill it with some rainwater.

boiled.

Then fill your own socks with charcoal scraps and filter them.

perfect!

After replenishing his body with several hundred milliliters of slightly toxic rainwater, Zhao Yi suddenly realized that he should wash his feet.

Next, he dried the dampness inside the cave, tore off a corner of his clothes, and began to catch the poisonous creatures hidden in the crevices of the rocks!

Whether it was a dark red centipede, a purplish-red scorpion, or a brightly colored tarantula, they were all stabbed to death with a scalpel, put into that cloth, and then carefully collected.

Viewers in the live stream expressed their incomprehension of his strange behavior and discussed it extensively.

After doing all this, Zhao Yi threw the brown bear's carcass here, extinguished the firewood, and returned to the large cave through the rain from the small cave.

Along the way, he picked up some non-toxic wild grass and chewed it.

very bitter.

But it can remove the meaty smell from his mouth.

Inside the large cave, everyone slept soundly.

The fire was still burning. Zhao Yi went to the fire, dried the water off his clothes, and then closed his eyes to rest for two hours.

Suddenly, he felt two soft things rubbing against him.

When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Wei Yun leaning close to him.

"where have you been?"

Wei Yun asked in a low voice, her eyes flickering.

Zhao Yi replied:

"shit."

Wei Yun:

"You've been pooping for six hours?"

Zhao Yi corrected:

"It is five hours, seven minutes, and six seconds."

Wei Yun remained silent, but since Zhao Yi didn't say anything, she didn't ask any further questions.

This dungeon is extremely difficult, and because of this, it's even harder for the people who should be united to unite!

Because nobody...is willing to trust others!

"You know what, don't you?"

Wei Yun is a smart woman; she knows the value of the Rookie of the Year award.

Among their group, the three lower-ranking newcomers were actually the big shots!

Players who can fight their way up to the top of the leaderboard from among millions of others must be formidable!

Seeing that Zhao Yi completely ignored her, Wei Yun's eyes darted around, and she whispered again:

"I'll use points to buy your information."

Zhao opened his eyes and made a hand gesture.

"500 points per message."

Wei Yun's big, bright eyes stared wide-eyed.

"Can you make it cheaper?"

"or……"

She squeezed her chest slightly, looking a little shy.

"Other payment methods?"

Zhao Yi glanced at it.

"Do you want?"

"Don't let me sleep."

Wei Yun's expression froze.

You don't even like my beautiful panel?

Depend on!

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Give me three!"

"Get the real stuff!"

"Don't cheat me out of my points!"

Congratulations! You have earned 1500 points.

Current account balance: 7500 points.

Zhao Yi glanced at the others in the cave, then lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"First, all the edible animals in the mountains are moving away from our area tonight."

"Secondly, the heavy rain is likely to continue until the end of the instance, during which time the temperature will continue to drop, and the firewood outside will become unburnable after being soaked in the rain for several hours."

"Third, the most terrifying danger... may very well be right beside us."

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's words, Wei Yun's face turned deathly pale...

P.S.: I'll write three chapters today. I had some drinks tonight and couldn't keep going. I'll try to finish them tomorrow.

I'm going to see if there are any good books I can copy. Goodnight, brothers!
