It was a softness that spread from the depths of the soul to every pore of the body.

Gradually, Lin Beichen closed his eyes, as if he could never open them again, and finally collapsed helplessly outside the reeds.

……

"Boss... Boss."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Beichen suddenly heard a series of familiar voices calling his name.

The sound echoed, reverberating in my ears.

Although it sounded familiar, Lin Beichen couldn't open his eyes no matter what he did; the voice only made him feel irritated.

At the same time, he also felt his body vibrating continuously.

It felt like sitting in a car speeding along a mountain road, the bumps making my stomach churn.

"vomit--!"

The violent shaking finally made Lin Beichen unable to hold back any longer, and he vomited some foul-smelling matter.

"Boss, you're awake?"

The sound that reached my ears felt especially familiar.

Lin Beichen shook his head, smiled as he looked at Yu Feng in front of him, and said half-jokingly:

"What's your hurry? I'm not going to die yet!"

When Yu Feng saw Lin Beichen wake up, a smile appeared on his previously anxious face.

Lin Beichen glared at the other person with annoyance, but when he saw the row of shocking teeth marks on the other person's body, he was speechless again.

At this moment, all the bite marks from the reticulated python on Yu Feng's body had turned white.

The bite marks had a whitish-pink tinge, clearly because water got in later, preventing the wounds from healing.

"Have those people left?"

Lin Beichen took a few deep breaths and tried several times to get up from the ground, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

The journey and the killings along the way had left Lin Beichen exhausted; he was so weak that he couldn't even get up from the ground.

"They must be gone. When I woke up, I thought you had sacrificed yourself too."

Yu Feng pointed behind Lin Beichen, where a reed marsh had been reduced to ashes.

Even though there are still reeds that have been burned to ashes and are drifting in the reed marshes, a gentle breeze will blow them away, turning the charred reed stalks into ash.

Lin Beichen touched his nose and carefully looked around.

He had reached the riverbank before losing consciousness. Although he didn't know the extent of the fire, it did not harm him.

As for those men he had sent away earlier,
Looking into the distance, all that could be seen were black figures, and it was impossible to tell whether they were the corpses of the men or the small, blackened hills that had always existed in the reeds.

"what time is it now?"

Lin Beichen smiled and looked at Yu Feng beside him.

Yu Feng raised his hand to look at his watch, then smiled and replied to Lin Beichen, "Three o'clock in the afternoon."

Lin Beichen nodded.

It gets dark early in the rainforest, around six o'clock.

Given Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's current condition, it's simply impossible for them to swim back to China from the river.

If the two of them enter the river, whether they can swim across is no longer the question; the key issue is whether they will die in the river.

"Find a place to camp and make a fire, preferably a secluded spot that can be seen from the other side, but not easily spotted in the rainforest."

After saying this, Lin Beichen swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Even now, just by talking, Lin Beichen can clearly feel the discomfort in his body.

"it is good."

Yu Feng nodded, then strode towards the rainforest.

Soon, Yu Feng collected the unburnt charcoal left in the campfire from the previous campfire of Poisonous Snake and the others, as well as the dry firewood that a few others had not used.

Yu Feng did not walk to Lin Beichen's side, but instead walked towards another reed bed in the distance.

He found stones in the river and quickly built a stone platform on the water.

He quickly built the stone platform to a size of about half a meter.

He skillfully pulled out a tactical dagger from his pocket and used the back of the blade to scrape a pebble, next to a pile of hay.

Perhaps due to an injury to one of his arms, what used to take only a few minutes to complete in training now takes him more than ten minutes to do without any effect.

Yu Feng looked at Lin Beichen lying on the ground, his brows furrowing even more.

Although it was still early, Yu Feng had no guarantee that he could start a fire before dark.

The snake meat wasn't cooked through at all. Lin Beichen could even sense that something was wriggling inside the bitten snake meat!

Without a doubt, those must be the larvae of fruit flies or other similar creatures, which are commonly known as maggots!

At this moment, Lin Beichen looked at Yu Feng again, his eyes filled with a hint of seriousness.

Lin Beichen wasn't considering whether or not to take action against Yu Feng.

He was just wondering how Yu Feng could eat such a thing. Had the training made him stupid, or had this guy never received proper training at all?

Even Bear Grylls would probably find this hard to swallow!
"Boss, what's wrong?"

Yu Feng looked at Lin Beichen with a serious expression.

As he spoke, he walked to Lin Beichen's side, patted Lin Beichen on the back, and asked with concern:
"Boss, are you hurt somewhere?"

"When you were fighting that reticulated python yesterday, you must have been spotted by the Viper gang, and then a fight broke out, right?"

Looking at Yu Feng's thoughtful face, Lin Beichen really wanted to pick up a stone next to him and smash it in his face.

"It's okay, just eat yours."

Lin Beichen weakly pointed to another piece of snake meat beside the fire and smiled at Yu Feng.

"Boss, you eat. You're injured, you need..."

Yu Feng scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Beichen suddenly grabbed some snake meat from beside the fire and stuffed it into Yu Feng's mouth.

"Well--!"

Yu Feng tried to spit out the snake meat in his mouth, but Lin Beichen wouldn't give him the chance. He tightly covered Yu Feng's mouth and showed no intention of letting go.

Yu Feng instinctively tried to pull Lin Beichen's hand away, but Lin Beichen was faster. His other hand had already turned into a chop, slamming hard into Yu Feng's lumbar spine.

Of course, Lin Beichen couldn't possibly break someone's lumbar spine with his bare hands.

The lumbar spine is a relatively tough part of the body, so if Lin Beichen wanted to subdue Yu Feng in one move, he wouldn't even bother to target his lumbar spine.

The reason he attacked Yu Feng's lumbar spine was that when a person is hit hard, they will subconsciously take a deep breath before letting out a scream, which was exactly the effect Lin Beichen wanted.

"Cough-cough!"

As soon as Lin Beichen released his hand from Yu Feng's mouth, Yu Feng covered his neck and began coughing violently.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen simply said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

As he spoke, Lin Beichen began to tend to his wounds.

As soon as he took off his coat, Lin Beichen noticed a patch of darkness next to his chest; the wound had turned a pale white. The blackness wasn't congealed blood, but rather rings of writhing black leeches!
Excessive blood loss!

This was the first thought in Lin Beichen's mind at that moment, and it was also the reason why he was so weak.

Lin Beichen pulled a burning stick from the campfire, flicked it a couple of times to extinguish the flames, and then began to use the glowing embers to scald the leeches on their chests.

"vomit--!"

Yu Feng had just straightened up when he saw the black leeches wriggling on Lin Beichen's chest. He couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomited.

Do you know what was in the snake meat you just ate?

Seeing Yu Feng like this, Lin Beichen seemed to become interested. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Yu Feng, who was only focused on vomiting.

"The snake meat was probably only about three-tenths cooked; the outside was charred, but the inside was completely uncooked."

"It's certain there are maggots inside, and I also suspect there are parasites inside; snakes can have quite a few parasites."

After saying that, Lin Beichen continued to lower his head and use charcoal to burn the leeches on his chest.

The leeches on Lin Beichen's chest were not difficult to deal with. With just a touch of the red embers on the burning stick, a black leech would curl up and fall to Lin Beichen's feet.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Beichen's feet were covered with a dense layer of leeches.

"vomit--!"

Yu Feng didn't know if he was stimulated by the dense leeches on the ground or frightened by the parasites in Lin Beichen's mouth. He started to vomit, even though he had already vomited everything up. He kept vomiting up stomach acid.

"I just want to tell you that in this kind of river, you can catch fish with a little thought. It's not difficult at all."

"But you chose the most unacceptable way, even the way you yourself cannot accept."

After Lin Beichen finished speaking, he shrugged.

During previous training sessions, we talked about how to survive in the rainforest, but Yu Feng clearly didn't listen carefully, which is why he still makes such a basic mistake.

Any creature in the rainforest that is not processed or eaten within three hours of being killed is no longer edible.

This is not to say that the creatures in the rainforest are anything special, but rather that the rainforest is too humid and hot, making it a natural breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria. In such an unprotected place, all kinds of meat will rot faster.

These are the most basic common sense during training. Lin Beichen felt that Yu Feng should not make such a mistake, nor should he make such a mistake.

The nights in the rainforest are far from peaceful on the surface. Snakes, insects, venomous ants, and all kinds of wild beasts stir and move about at night, and even the mosquitoes are not something ordinary people can withstand.

Take Yu Feng for example, his body is covered with red and swollen bumps. If you don't look closely, you might think he's been warmly "welcomed" by wasps.

In addition, the protagonist is currently severely dehydrated, and if he is not replenished in time, he will probably fall into a coma again soon.

In the rainforest, if someone falls unconscious, the consequences can be fatal.

Walking in this rainforest is difficult enough, let alone the fact that the two main characters have to swim across a river several hundred meters wide.

Some people might wonder, how can there be a water shortage when there is a river right next to it?

Actually, rainforest water, whether flowing or stagnant, should not be drunk unless absolutely necessary. At best, it will cause diarrhea; if it gets parasites, the consequences could be much more serious.

Like the Ganges River, which is said to contain an entire periodic table of elements, locals dare to drink it directly, but would outsiders dare?

It's the same principle.

As long as there is fire, you can boil water and drink it without worry. Moreover, fire can provide warmth and also deter wild animals.

"Hel me up."

The protagonist looked at Yu Feng from afar and called out weakly.

The two were too far apart for Yu Feng to hear the protagonist's shout. At that moment, he was busy using his dagger to scratch the stone, trying to create a spark.

After watching for a while, the protagonist couldn't resist any longer and casually picked up a piece of rubble next to him and threw it at Yu Feng.

The climate in the rainforest is already humid, and the two of them were by the river, so the air humidity was ridiculously high.

To try to make fire in such a place using primitive methods like striking stones is not entirely impossible, but the hope is extremely slim.

For a moment, the protagonist couldn't understand how Yu Feng came up with such a terrible idea.

Unfortunately, the protagonist was too weak, and although he wanted to give Yu Feng a "teach him a lesson in love," he was powerless to do so.

"Boss... Boss, there's a fire!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Feng excitedly ran to the side of the drowsy protagonist, his face beaming with excitement, just like a child who had received a favorite toy.

"Go get something to eat."

The protagonist glanced at Yu Feng and said irritably.

By the time Yu Feng had started the fire, it was almost sunset. At this point, hunting in the rainforest was practically a luxury.

"where to?"

Yu Feng looked at the rainforest in the distance with a puzzled expression.

There is food in the rainforest now, of course, but it gets dark early outside the rainforest, and it is so dark inside that you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Going in to find food at this point would be pointless, even if Yu Feng had a gun.

As night falls, the creatures in the rainforest do become more active, but humans can't see clearly in the dark, so having a gun is useless!

"Isn't that readily available?"

The protagonist gestured irritably to the side with his lip.

As evening approached, the oxygen levels in the river dropped significantly, and the fish began to leap incessantly on the surface.

Yu Feng disagreed with the protagonist. After listening to the protagonist's words, he frowned, finally fixing his gaze on the remains of the reticulated python not far away. After hesitating for a long time, he asked the protagonist for confirmation:
"Boss, are we really going to eat that stuff?"

As he spoke, Yu Feng reluctantly swallowed.

At this moment, the remains of the reticulated python were covered with all kinds of flies. Yu Feng could even see some white worms wriggling inside. Without a doubt, they were fly larvae.

Why would a perfectly healthy person eat rotten flesh?

"Otherwise, do you think you can hunt prey in the rainforest?"

"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

After the protagonist finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

He was too weak to care about Yu Feng, and he didn't realize that Yu Feng's ideas were quite different from his own.

"Boss, it's all done, let's go get something to eat!"

As darkness fell completely, Yu Feng's voice reached the ears of the protagonist, who was resting with his eyes closed.

The protagonist sniffed the stench permeating the air, initially unconcerned. But when Yu Feng helped him to the fire, the protagonist had a real urge to kick Yu Feng into the river.

At this moment, beside the burning fire, on the blue stone slab, lay two pieces of charred meat.

The protagonist could even see black and blue scales interwoven on the flesh. Turning his head to look at the remains of the reticulated python not far away, he thought, "Who else could this be but its?"

"You little rascal, you can't even catch a fish in the river, can you?"

In the darkness, the protagonist took a deep breath.

Doesn't Yu Feng find it disgusting to eat this kind of thing?
"Boss, didn't you say you wanted to eat it?"

Yu Feng frowned in confusion.

Seeing Yu Feng's silly expression, the protagonist didn't bother to pay him any attention for a moment. (End of Chapter)
