Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

She opened her eyes groggily, sat up, and tilted her head to look to her side. Seeing that Nadeshiko was still fast asleep, she felt relieved.

Is it daybreak?

Shima Rin looked up at the sky, but there was no light at all above the trees.

It was still dark, but the moon seemed to have disappeared, and no moonlight could be seen.

It's so convenient to carry matches with you.

Shima Rin stared blankly at the flickering flames and added a few more pieces of firewood.

Without matches, she and Nadeshiko would have been stuck huddled under the tree, unable to move. Finding a rocky slope to hide on would have been a problem, let alone starting a fire.

Because of the rocky slope, there were few fallen leaves below the slope, and insects were not visible at a glance.

Sleeping on palm leaves under a rocky slope reduces the chances of being bitten by insects and snakes compared to sleeping on piles of leaves and grass. Moreover, having cover above and behind you makes sleeping under an unprotected tree safer and more reassuring.

The jungle night was quiet, but not particularly quiet.

Besides the chirping of insects, which sound like white noise, there are occasionally rustling sounds from some unknown animal or other strange noises.

This made Shima Rin afraid to sleep too soundly; the slightest sound, like the sound of firewood burning, would wake her up.

She was sleeping soundly.

Shima Rin looked at Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who was sleeping soundly, with a sense of helplessness. Wasn't she worried that wild animals would come and carry them away?

Perhaps because she was more awake, Shima Rin, who had been very sleepy just moments before, was no longer so sleepy.

Now that she was no longer sleepy, she had no intention of going back to sleep. Instead, she added firewood and kept watch over the surroundings for herself and Nadeshiko.

I don't know if the walking fish is still in the jungle, or how Xiao Jia is doing.

Shinonome...

It's okay, everything will be alright.

Shima Rin didn't believe Shinonome had any hope of survival; she just kept praying for a miracle in her heart.

As dawn breaks, a new day begins.

"Hush!"

A strange sound, like a kettle boiling, woke the girl.

Shima Rin opened her eyes and found herself asleep on a pile of palm leaves, unaware of what had happened. It was dawn, and the campfire had gone out.

"Sh-!"

Upon hearing the strange noise for the second time, Shima Rin immediately realized what it was.

He quickly picked up the survival whistle that Dongyun had given him and was hanging around his neck, and blew it.

"Sh-!"

Similarly, like a kettle boiling, a long, continuous whistle rang out in the jungle.

She stopped blowing her survival whistle, and then another long whistle sounded in the distance.

The long whistle of the survival whistle indicates "location confirmed" and "instructions received".

And so the survival whistles blew one after another from both sides. Soon the distant whistles grew closer until Shima Rin saw two familiar figures.

"Dongyun!"

Shima Rin looked at the two people walking towards her in surprise, and was utterly shocked when she saw Shinonome.

"Xiaoyun, ahhhhhh, you're alive! Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

"!!!"

A voice suddenly appeared behind her, startling Shima Rin so much that her heart and lungs almost stopped.

She only saw a pink figure dart out from beside her, run over with open arms, and pounce on Dongyun, giving her a bear hug.

When did you wake up?

Shima Rin clutched his chest, his face grim.

She didn't expect Nadeshiko to wake up, and even more so, she didn't expect Nadeshiko to get up silently and suddenly call out to Tomono, which almost scared her to death.

However, Nadeshiko got too excited, and Shinonome might be injured!

When Shima Rin saw Kagamihara Nadeshiko hugging Shinonome, he was very worried about Shinonome's injuries and quickly went over to persuade Nadeshiko to get off Shinonome.

But as she got closer, she realized she might have been overthinking things.

Dongyun was fine. Apart from dark circles under his eyes, which made him look like he hadn't slept well, there wasn't a single scratch on his exposed skin. Unlike her, Nadeshiko, and Gabriel, who had many scratches, abrasions, and bruises from being scratched by tree branches, pricked by thorns, and bumped into trees while escaping yesterday.

Chapter 72 Survival Master!

Its daybreak.

When Dongyun woke up, her eyes still felt a dull ache.

At first, he thought that he hadn't completed the mission yet, and the system hadn't healed his eye injury. Later, he touched his eyes and realized that his eyes were healed, and the pain he had felt was just his imagination.

His eyes have healed, and the minor injuries such as abrasions on his body have also healed.

To the audience, he looked somewhat comical.

Because of the unusual bandage on his head, coupled with the fact that he was only wearing a grass skirt and a jacket, his overall appearance wasn't very appealing. If it weren't for his good looks and the anime filter, some viewers would definitely have labeled him a pervert.

After confirming that his right eye had recovered, Shinonome woke up Gabriel and then walked deeper into the jungle while blowing his survival whistle to search for Shima Rin and Kagamihara Nadeshiko.

Unlike Gabriel, who has an angelic halo, they are likely to get lost in the jungle at night and have difficulty finding their way out. Therefore, they must find Nadeshiko and Shima Rin as soon as possible to prevent them from encountering danger if they stay too long in the depths.

This is where the survival whistle came in handy; thanks to it, they found Nadeshiko and Shima Rin in a short time.

To Dongyun's surprise, Nadeshiko excitedly ran over and hugged him upon seeing him. She nearly knocked him over; she threw herself on him and gave him a big hug.

This child is incredibly fit.

If he hadn't been prepared when he saw Nadeshiko running over, he would have definitely been knocked to the ground by her when she caught him off guard.

Kagamihara Nadeshiko held Shinonome tightly. Just as Shima Rin was about to remind her, she realized her lapse in composure and quickly let go, asking apologetically, "Shinonome, are you alright?"

She knew her words sounded strange, since Xiaoyun had screamed so pitifully last night that they all thought she was in grave danger. But to their surprise, Xiaoyun seemed perfectly fine, with no injuries on her face or body except for mosquito bites.

"It's alright, I'm a survival expert. I'm just a cricket, a walking fish, a chicken, or a dog."

Dongyun said this in a very pretentious manner.

Is it okay for the Human Emperor to kite the Hunter without taking damage? Don't ask if you got injured in the middle, just ask if you had any injuries at the end.

"You dried the walking fish?"

Upon hearing Shinonome's words, Kagamihara Nadeshiko misunderstood.

"No."

Dongyun immediately answered.

If only he could take down the walking fish.

His mutated right eye and the mutated rat both possess magic that can restore Gabriel's magic power, so the walking fish is probably the same. Somewhere on its body or inside its body, there is a disgusting eyeball containing magic power, or it's not an eyeball, but... a parasite.

Without the pain to distract him, Dongyun's mind became much sharper. He remembered a few days ago when he and Nadeshiko caught a fish with strange black parasites inside its belly.

Interestingly, both he and the rat have mutated eyes, while the walking fish doesn't seem to.

But it's hard to say. Walking fish are all black and appear at night. They might not have eyes or their eyes might be in another place. Even if it's a mutation, it might not be noticeable.

"What was that sound last night?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko didn't understand.

Xiaoyun wasn't injured, nor did she kill any walking fish, so why did she scream so pitifully last night?

"Actually, I'm injured." Seeing the change in Kagamihara Nadeshiko's expression, Shinonome quickly said, "Don't worry, I have a system, you know. My system has been upgraded and has helped heal my injuries. I didn't kill the walking fish, I almost got killed by it. Luckily, Kaga was there, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to see you all again."

As Dongyun continued speaking, she became increasingly embarrassed.

There was no other reason than that Nadeshiko was about to cry.

He saw the misty tears in Nadeshiko's large eyes; it was clear he had worried her.

"Don't cry, Nadeshiko, I'm alright."

Shinonome mischievously placed his hand on Kagamihara Nadeshiko's head and rubbed it vigorously, like petting a dog.

"I didn't cry."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko lowered her head, letting Shinonome do as she pleased. She wiped her eyes to stop the tears from falling.

Don't be fooled by Xiaoyun's nonchalant tone; she knew he must have been in immense pain. His words might lie now, but his agonizing screams last night were undeniable. Looking at Xiaojia's troubled expression, she could hardly imagine what Xiaoyun was like when Xiaojia encountered him.
