Excessive ferocity due to caution

Everyone saw Ed collapse to the ground. Ying Xiangying rushed to help him up, but Ed lay motionless on the ground with his lips turning blue.

He was poisoned.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Yi, who was standing not far away, stroked his chin.

Does Ed's low poison resistance mean that Bell's poison resistance is also low?

Yes, that's possible.

"Hello!"

"Ed!"

"Ed, what's wrong?"

Ying Xiangying shouted loudly and slapped Ed several times, but the latter still didn't wake up.

In Zhao Yi's eyes, Ed's data had changed somewhat.

[Ed: Mild Danger]

[Weakness: Low poison resistance]

[Note 1: Although he is poisoned, the poisoning is not severe. Even though his consciousness is blurred, his animal instincts are not yet dormant. If you try to kill him at this time, you will die a terrible death!]

[Note 2: He was a little hungry.]

Wild animal instincts.

That sounds lame!

Zhao Yi toyed with his scalpel.

The system grants Ed the instincts of a wild beast, clearly to prevent Ed from falling unconscious after ingesting poison and being attacked and killed by players, thus significantly reducing the difficulty of Purgatory.

But obviously Zhao Yi wouldn't do something so stupid.

Killed Ed?

No.

Only a foolish and cruel person would do something so stupid.

Zhao Yi is a kind and clever little devil; he would never kill Ed.

Ying Xiangying helped drag Ed back to the fire, shivering all over, perhaps from the cold.

He stared at the fire and muttered to himself:

"Ed is so strong... how could he fall ill..."

"Could it be because there was something wrong with the water we just drank?"

"But we all drank from that bowl of water!"

He was terrified. The desperate situation before him made it hard for him to breathe. At this moment, Ed fell ill. With the strongest member of the team gone, the darkness outside seemed even more terrifying and sinister!

If some terrifying creature enters the cave, how should they deal with it?

What do they do when the firewood runs out?

in case……

Too many "what ifs" kept stimulating Ying Xiangying.

At this moment, Ding Longfei, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at Zhao Yi.

"You poisoned it?"

He was a newcomer ranked fourteenth on the leaderboard, with an exceptionally sharp mind. After quickly eliminating options, he immediately locked onto Zhao Yi.

Zhao looked up, his face completely innocent.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"No, I didn't."

Zhao Yi's expression practically screamed "I am the murderer" on his face.

Ding Longfei frowned, but seeing that Zhao Yi didn't admit it, he didn't say anything.

Sitting by the fire, for hours on end, all that could be heard was the crackling of the firewood.

They were tormented by cold and hunger.

Apart from Zhao Yi, the other three looked terrible.

The firewood inside the cave was gradually decreasing, just like their patience.

Zhao Yi boiled another bowl of water, but wasn't in a hurry to drink it.

"Water...water..."

On the second night, Ed's lips turned blue, and he barely regained some of his senses, feeling as if his whole body was on fire.

Seeing that he was awake, Zhao Yi brought water to Ed's side with great concern.

"Ed, don't rush, drink slowly."

"Don't worry, we'll take care of you...until you get better."

He gently patted Ed's back, comforting him.

Ed drank a bowl of cold water and smiled weakly at Zhao Yi and the other two. The bluish-purple color on his lips seemed to have become even more vibrant.

Before he could even thank them, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.

Zhao Yi poured out the remaining water and carefully washed the stone bowl with the cold rainwater.

After finishing, Zhao Yi caught a glimpse of Ed's only backpack.

It was unremarkable, except that it contained Ed's camera.

After Ed collapsed, Wei Yun picked him up and put him in her backpack.

Zhao Yi rummaged through it for a bit.

There was only one camera and one spare battery.

However, the camera is multifunctional, with a small control screen on it, which allows users to view the recordings made by the camera.

Zhao Yi curiously rummaged through it for a bit.

There are many stored videos, but they are all scattered and mostly records of Ed leading his previous guests on adventures in different extreme environments.

One particular video recording of a memory caught Zhao Yi's attention.

It started with Ed's loud laughter and the guests' exclamations; it seemed they were playing some kind of cat-and-mouse game.

The camera was very dark and the footage was very bumpy.

The noise attracted the attention of the other three teammates, who sensed something was wrong and gathered around Zhao Yi, watching the video intently.

"Sigh... How lucky they are, they even have the mood to play games."

Ying Xiangying sighed with dissatisfaction, his face full of worry.

"Why is it that when it's our turn..."

Before he could finish his complaint, his eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen something unbelievable!

In the video recording on the screen, Ed, who was initially playing games with the guests, caught up with a female guest and... grabbed her head with his hand and crushed it on the spot!

The moment the head exploded, red and white sprayed everywhere.

The horrific scene made Ying Xiangying and Wei Yun shudder.

Ying Xiangying, in particular, had his legs go weak and sat down on the ground with a thud!

"This...this..."

He was trembling, pointing at the screen, unable to speak!

On the screen, Ed is facing the camera.

His neck was twisted at an odd angle, and his smile was sinister!

Ignoring the mud, he picked up the pig brains from the ground and frantically stuffed them into his mouth...

This terrifying scene not only frightened the three people next to Zhao Yi, but also shocked the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the four people's live broadcast room!

...

WTF! My closet moved, I'm not looking anymore!

Holy crap! This is insane! He...he's gone mad, hasn't he?

Damn! Luckily he was poisoned and passed out! Otherwise, these people would probably be in grave danger!

Last night, Zhao Yi spent half the day catching poisonous creatures... Could it really be Zhao Yi's poison?

Did he already know beforehand that Ed would eat people?

...

While the viewers in the live stream were frantically speculating about Zhao Yi, Ying Xiangying suddenly screamed and ran towards the heavy rain outside!

Just now...

He was shocked to see that Ed, who was lying on the ground, had actually rolled over!

Facing them head-on!

Once the box of fear in your heart is opened, it is difficult to close it again.

Unable to accept the prospect of having his head crushed and his brains eaten, he fled the cave!

Even if it's extremely cold outside and he freezes to death, it's better than being eaten!

As soon as Zhao Yi saw him run out of the cave, he immediately chased after him!

Wei Yun instinctively wanted to go out as well, but Ding Longfei stopped her.

Seeing Ding Longfei's solemn expression, she calmed down a little.

"Don't go out... going out now... you'll most likely die!"

"The outside temperature combined with the non-freezing rain will kill a person in the shortest amount of time... especially since we have no food and can't replenish our energy, our bodies simply can't hold on!"

Wei Yun stared intently at Ed, who lay unconscious on the ground, and swallowed hard.

Only then did she understand the meaning of what Zhao Yi had told her.

The most terrifying danger... is right beside them!
