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

Kagamihara Nadeshiko blinked, puzzled; she was very curious.

"Forest gaps are what you see now, the phenomenon of gaps in the canopy caused by the death of trees for various reasons. Strong winds, heavy rains, lightning strikes, old and decaying trees, in short, when several trees die together, forest gaps will form."

Dongyun gave a brief explanation.

His understanding of forest windows, like much of his survival knowledge, came from the comments section.

Having traveled through time for so long, thanks to the educational content provided by the comments section, he's increasingly showing the demeanor of a survival expert.

He believes that given time, he might actually become a master in the field of survival.

"Xiaoyun."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko tugged at Touun's leaf-patterned coat; her voice sounded uneasy.

"what happened?"

Dongyun looked around warily, then cautiously glanced at the sky out of the corner of his eye, but found nothing unusual.

"Below, beneath our feet."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko looked at Shinonome with a tearful expression and pointed to the ground beneath their feet.

"!"

Dongyun looked down and saw a large, deep red centipede at their feet.

What a huge centipede!

The centipede was crawling out from under the rock. They didn't know how long it was, but the fact that it was as thick as their wrists made them shudder.

Holy crap!

What the hell?!

[What a huge centipede!]

Wow, it's so thick!

I love it!

【? ? ? 】

[If we're not buddies, what do you mean you love him? What do you love about him?]

The comments section always manages to transform serious content into something that would be difficult to pass censorship on legitimate websites. However, some comments also provide information, saying that centipede venom is not lethal and that its toxicity is not significant for humans.

Of course, the comments were referring to centipedes on Earth.

The centipede beneath Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko's feet looked terrifying. In terms of width alone, it was thicker than the Galapagos giant centipede, the largest centipede on Earth. Considering the corrosive, football-sized human-faced spider, it was hard to say whether this centipede could kill a person.

"Crack!"

A spear swiftly pierced the centipede's head, making a crisp sound.

To Dongyun's surprise, after he pierced the centipede's head, the centipede did not die immediately, but instead hissed.

No, that's not the sound of a centipede chirping, but the sound of a centipede struggling and rubbing its body together as it dies.

After three or four seconds, the centipede finally became completely still and quiet, appearing to be dead.

To prevent the corpse from rising from the dead, Shinonome delivered another blow.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

The centipede struggled again, and Dongyun felt a chill run down his spine.

"Such strong vitality, Nadeshiko!"

"understand!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko picked up the hammer that was on the ground and smashed it down hard on the centipede's head after Shinonome pulled out his spear.

The centipede's head was smashed to pieces with one blow.

A bluish-green liquid gushed from the centipede's head, splashing onto the nearby grass with a sizzling sound.

Same green!

Same corrosiveness!!

Upon seeing this scene, both Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko thought of the spider with a human face.

Chapter 8 Encounter with a Leopard

Dongyun used the spear that had pierced the centipede to drag the entire centipede out from under the large rock.

The moment they saw the centipede in its entirety, he, Nadeshiko, and the audience were all terrified.

Two meters.

This centipede is at least two meters long!

Your mother's kisses are getting more and more outrageous, okay? Is that centipede trying to strangle someone?!

Dongyun couldn't take it anymore.

Giant pythons, giant lizards, walking fish, human-faced spiders, and now a giant centipede, oh right, and that "Eye of Cthulhu".

God, you should just hang yourself!

He really wanted to shout like the characters in Yu Hua's novels.

He could tolerate the presence of leopards, since the leopards he saw were about the same size as those on Earth, but weren't these giant pythons, monitor lizards, and other creatures far exceeding the size of Earth going too far?

"Wow, this is outrageous, such a huge centipede."

Dongyun sighed and sat back down on the big rock.

He didn't care whether there were centipedes or other terrifying insects under the big rock; he would kill any that dared to show themselves.

As long as the cricket isn't as big as a person and has amazing defenses that can withstand wooden spears and stone hammers, he's confident he can kill it together with Nadeshiko.

"It looks terrifying."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko sat down next to Shinonome again.

This time she sat a little higher, trying to stay as far away from the centipede as possible.

When killing the centipede, Kagamihara Nadeshiko wasn't very afraid, but once she relaxed and saw the centipede's corpse, she felt uncomfortable.

"We might encounter something even scarier later, so be prepared."

Dongyun guessed that there would be more strange things as he went deeper into the jungle, but he still found it hard to accept when he actually saw them, and he didn't want his guess to come true.

"Can't do it well."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko shook her head.

Looking at the centipede on the ground, she knew very well that she couldn't be mentally prepared; the creatures of this world were challenging her understanding more and more than the last.

"It's okay. Just grit your teeth and don't make a sound when you see it."

Dongyun knew that she herself might not be mentally prepared.

Giant spiders, giant centipedes, and who knows, giant cockroaches, giant mosquitoes, and giant flies might appear next.

He only hoped that when he and Nadeshiko saw something terrifying, they would maintain their energy and not be so frightened that they couldn't help but make a sound. Otherwise, the other party might not have seen them but would have discovered their situation by hearing their voices.

He didn't want to act in the classic scenes from horror movies, nor did he want Nadeshiko to perform them.

After resting for a while, Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko set off again.

They were running low on fresh water, so they decided to turn back and find a river. Once they reached the river, they would rest, make a fire to boil water, replenish their supply, wash their hands and faces, and have lunch.

They walked for a long time but couldn't find a cinchona tree. However, they did find lemongrass, and large patches of lemon tea that could repel mosquitoes.

Lemongrass, also known as lemongrass or lemon citronella.

Its name is related to its characteristics; the whole plant emits a fragrance similar to lemon, hence the name.

Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko lingered for a while, applying crushed lemongrass juice to their bodies and tying lots of lemongrass to their leafy clothes, partly as mosquito coils and partly to make drinks.

Lemongrass is edible and smells nice; it should taste pretty good when used to make tea.

Without any landmarks or a compass, it wouldn't be easy for Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko to find the river again after being far away from it.

However, since they were looking for cinchona trees and other plants that could treat malaria, it wouldn't matter if they wandered around aimlessly. He and Nadeshiko still had a way back, and they could easily follow the markings on the trees back before their fresh water ran out.

Fortunately, they were lucky and found the river again.

Hearing the sound of flowing water, they walked towards the river, but when they saw the river, they didn't dare to go to the river to replenish their fresh water.

Several animals that looked like wild boars, but were smaller, were drinking water by the river.

Xiyuan?

Dongyun frowned, counted them, and there were seven.

He wasn't sure if what was by the river was a wild boar or a piranha; in reality, he had never seen a wild boar or a piranha.

He had seen them online, but he had never observed them seriously or tried to find out the difference between a piranha and a wild boar.
