"With nothing to eat or drink, it's probably a problem to survive in a place like this, right?"
After looking around, Qin Chuan also responded with a look of despair on his face.
Hearing this, Uncle Ishida adjusted his glasses, lowered his eyebrows and whispered: "Inside the treasure chest... there should be the survival equipment and resources we need."
Next to him, Ando was playing with a piece of stone and scoffed, "Haha, treasure chest?"
"What do you think is the chance for a team like us to get the treasure chest? It's really unrealistic to grab the treasure chest."
Ishida wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked breathlessly: "Then... then what should we do now?"
Ando threw the stone up and then grabbed it. "What else can we do? Let's hurry up! If we don't have strength, we can only rely on our two legs! Let's go!"
The next second, when everyone was dejected and moving forward, Lin Xiao slowly opened his mouth:
"no."
Hearing the voice, everyone turned around and cast their eyes towards him.
Looking at the scattered sunlight among the trees, Lin Xiao slowly explained: "The sun is about to set."
Seeing this, Ando said impatiently: "Oh, then we must hurry up!"
"The early bird catches the worm!"
"Since we can't beat them, we can only win by speed! Don't forget, there are five teams in total, right? But Green Island only has two seats!"
"If you take a step earlier, you will have an advantage. Even children understand this!"
Qin Chuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, man, with the strength of our team, the only thing we can do now is to hurry up... In this way, we may still have a chance of winning."
"Remember the looks from the bald guy and scarred guy before the game started? Those two guys must have set their sights on us. There are five of us and a total of 15 badges. I don't think they will give up this huge sum of money easily."
"I don't want to die in their hands..."
After hearing what Qin Chuan said, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "This jungle has a typical tropical rainforest climate. The trees grow lushly and it looks bright, but in fact, night falls very quickly."
"The night in the jungle is the golden time for snakes, insects and animals to hunt. We are unarmed. If we encounter them unexpectedly, what will be the consequences? I think you should understand without me saying it, right?"
"Unless you have no choice, it's best not to travel at night. That's suicide. In many cases, taking a step back is actually for better progress."
"Everyone, what we need to do now is not to hurry on our way, but to find a suitable place nearby to build a shelter for the night, then find food and water, and plan a route forward."
Lin Xiao's words made everyone silent and they lowered their heads in thought.
After a long while, Ando nodded and said, "Where can we get food in this barren place, unless we have guns, then we might be able to hunt some game."
At this time, Qin Chuan asked: "Will a gun come out of the treasure chest?"
After a long pause, Ye Huixin recovered a lot. She took a breath, her fair face covered with dirt, and interrupted:
"It should be possible. The treasure chest is very important. The equipment inside should be very useful to us."
Lin Xiao said: "We have to grab the treasure chest, but not now. Our first priority now is to survive. Only by surviving can we have the energy to complete the game."
Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Uncle Ishida echoed: "I am a scholar, so I may not be able to give you advice in this regard, but I think what this young man said makes sense. Only by surviving can everything be possible."
After a while, Ando said coldly: "Handsome, tell me, what should we do?"
"Adapting to local conditions and making comprehensive use of the forest will give us the answer. It really is not difficult to survive."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao squatted down, picked up a handful of green grass from the bushes beside him, put it in his hand, and showed it to everyone.
Because he had mastered [Natural Science] and [Wild Survival Skills], when faced with these things, Lin Xiao introduced them like a treasure:
"This thing is called river white grass, a creeping herb. Its leaves and fruits are edible. It tastes sour, but after you take it in your mouth, you will have a very sweet aftertaste."
"Don't underestimate this green grass. In many cases, it will fill your stomach and provide you with at least 150 calories..."
As he said that, Lin Xiao stuffed the entire plant of river white grass into his mouth and began chewing it in big mouthfuls.
The next second, everyone stared at him in amazement, with expressions of disbelief.
"Brother, this... is this thing really edible?"
"Damn! Handsome guy!"
"Young man... this, isn't it poisonous?"
"Lin Xiao..."
Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Lin Xiao grabbed another handful and handed it to everyone, "If you don't believe me, you can try it... It tastes pretty good."
With frowns, Ando and Qinchuan took a small piece of leaf doubtfully and put it in their mouths.
Before they even entered their mouths, their facial features were already tangled together.
But.
When they tried and chewed it for a while, the sweet taste contained in the river grass suddenly burst out.
It feels like chewing sugarcane.
The next second, Qin Chuan's eyes widened, "Mm, it's really sweet. I didn't expect that wild grass would be so delicious!"
Beside him, Ando also smacked his lips and praised repeatedly: "Your mouth tastes like sugarcane! Hehe, boy, you are amazing!"
Seeing the two of them praising it highly, Ishida and Ye Huixin also tried a little.
"Well, boy, it's very sweet indeed."
While eating, Ye Huixin praised: "It really tastes like sugarcane, and it's very juicy, very thirst-quenching..."
Soon, having tasted the "sweetness", they began searching under their feet without waiting for Lin Xiao to speak.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao continued to explain: "The sugar content in river white grass is very high. It can supplement a variety of vitamins and the energy needed by the human body. At the same time, it is also a rare medicinal material."
"So, as long as you are careful enough and good at discovering, it is not difficult to survive in this jungle. We may be the weakest among the five teams in terms of hard power, but this does not mean that we will definitely lose."
"We should not have preconceived ideas about anything. Because if we do, our thinking will become one-sided..."
Looking at Lin Xiao who was arguing confidently, Ye Huixin pursed her lips and was shocked.
This person.
Is this still the Lin Xiao I know?
The next moment.
Somehow, the boy who was always silent at school seemed to have completely collapsed in her memory.
Looking at the boy in front of her, the question hidden in her heart vaguely surfaced again...
