Chapter 438: Surviving will be difficult
A strange, faint smell came from somewhere below, and the red soil seemed to be soaked in blood.
The vegetation that grew on the red soil was extremely tall, and some of the trees were several dozen meters tall.
Bubtney walked slowly through the loose soil, but not as rampant as before.
Su Xiao cautiously looked back at the area behind him. The centipede hiding in the ground was too scary. If he hadn't sensed it beforehand, they would have ended up being swallowed alive.
They didn't have a map or landmarks right now, and they had enough food and water for a day at most.
Food, along with water, was lost during the skydive. Bubtney held the food and water between his teeth, as a parachute had to be attached to his body, and he ended up dropping the bag of supplies when he started to "negotiate" with black Hawk.
*U-u-u-u*
Bubtney turned his head and looked at Su Xiao, and his eyes said clearly: "Master, I'm hungry».
— Be patient, we ate on the plane and it hasn't even been an hour since then. With your body fat, you'll be able to put up with it for a couple of days.
Bubtney's fat would indeed be enough for him to fast for two days, but they would still have to find water..
Right now, their water supply would be enough for a day. Bubtney can survive two days without water, but Su Xiao can't.
If he has to fight often without water he won't be able to unleash his full strength after a couple of intense fights.
And Su Xiao didn't have any high-calorie food with her. These were usually small, ultra-high-calorie foods, but they were usually very rare in Paradise.
Many contractors preferred to keep such food with them as a last resort and few sold it.
There was a large amount of barbecue in the backpack on Su Xiao's back. It was also their food for the near future and also a restorative meal.
[Barbecue with sauce.
Quality: Green.
Type: Restorative Food.
Effect: Restores 80% of health within half an hour after consumption and at the same time heals a small number of wounds.
Rating: 21.
Description: Was purchased for 1,900 Paradise Coins.]
This kind of food could also satisfy one's hunger, but Su Xiao would only eat it for the sake of satisfying one's hunger at the very last moment.
The information in Paradise was too important. If he had known that the food in this trial would be so valuable, he would have definitely bought a large amount of high-calorie food.
But such information, especially regarding the rank-up trials, wouldn't appear in the outside world and would only go to large factions at best.
Now it was safe to predict that in a couple of days, food and fresh water would become the main cause of battles between contractors.
The trial will last for ten days. Su Xiao will be able to fight at his best for at most two days, after which he will become weaker and weaker without having enough food and water.
The grasslands and forests on this island seemed endless, and Su Xiao didn't know how far they had progressed, but soon, he vaguely heard the sound of water gurgling.
And where there was water, there was food!
— Babble, go ahead carefully, " Su Xiao said and listened carefully to the sound of the water. After landing on the red soil territory, his perception was already about to fail him. What he saw with his own eyes didn't necessarily have to be real.
Soon there was a distinct sound of water to their left and the Bubtni gradually began to accelerate.
A small river appeared nearby...
This small river flowed through a meadow and there was about a meter tall grass growing beside it.
*Wj-w-w-w-w*
A bee flew past the river. This bee wasn't small — it was about the size of a thumb.
It could be eaten, Su Xiao was sure of that, for he had seen a similar bee on the ground, but it was certainly much smaller than this one.
This bee's flight speed was very fast. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to catch this" little " bee.
Su Xiao gripped the handle of the Dragon Flash, and for a moment, a projection of his strike appeared in the air.
The bee's wings fell to the ground...
Carefully picking up the fallen bee, Su Xiao carefully looked at its venomous stinger. He didn't even want to imagine what would happen if such a sting was placed in his body.
After pinching off its head and removing its stinger, Su Xiao immediately threw the bee into his mouth, causing Bubtney to give him a strange look.
«Great taste and chew it very nice».
— Su Xiao looked at Bubtni, but he quickly shook his head and took two steps back.
This type of bee is a real delicacy in some regions of the Earth, but on Earth this type of bee is almost extinct.
In the end, Su Xiao caught two more similar bees without actually spending a drop of effort, but after that, other bees began to fly around him.
Pushing aside the plants near the river, he saw a stormy but small river.
The water in the river was clear, but Su Xiao wasn't going to be deceived by its appearance and took out a clear empty bottle, then filled it with a small amount of this river water.
Closing the bottle, he held it up to the sun and saw the previously clear, clear river water begin to change color and turn slightly reddish.
This river was home to countless parasites. If someone drinks water from this river, they probably won't be able to live for even a couple of days.
Finding clean fresh water was much more difficult than finding suitable food.
A black shadow swept across the river and Su Xiao suddenly jumped up and plunged the blade into the water.
*Tweet~*
A strange cry rang out as Su Xiao pulled a strange fish out of the water.
It was about half a meter long and had a big head and a small body. There were a dozen different creatures in her mouth, and there were even more strange "passengers" on her body .».
Even if she hadn't died from Su Xiao's sword blade, she still wouldn't have been able to live for long, as there were at least dozens of different types of parasites on her.
In the end, he threw this big fish back into the water. Even if Su Xiao was going to starve to death, he wouldn't eat this fish, as it would only make him die even faster in the end.
There was a very serious problem. The water near the red soil area couldn't be drunk, and most of the large creatures couldn't be eaten.
Shaking his head, Su Xiao took out a compass from his backpack that was bought for 600 Paradise coins, and according to the stall owner, it could point out the right direction even in outer space.
However, now this compass, which could work even in outer space, has failed — right now its needle has become like a valve in a working fan.
Su Xiao looked at the sun in the sky and saw a bright sun without a drop of clouds in the sky. Today was definitely a good day.
Finding a wooden stick nearby, he stuck it into the ground. The sunlight began to cast a shadow on the ground, and soon after, Su Xiao placed a small rock on top of the shadow.
Taking out his pocket watch, Su Xiao waited for ten minutes. The shadow of the stick shifted slightly, and Su Xiao placed another rock on top of the shadow.
By connecting the two stones on the ground, he got a direction.
— East, and west in that direction...
This was one of the most primitive ways to determine directions, but Su Xiao didn't know if he would work in this place. After all, he didn't know which side the sun of this planet was rising from.
After confirming the direction, Su Xiao began to search for rocks, branches, and so on, then began to put them all together to form a coordinate that could guarantee that he would move in the same direction.
After getting a rough direction Su Xiao boarded the Bubba and they set off.
The most important thing now is to get as far away from the red soil area as possible. It was too dangerous and there was no suitable food or water on or near it.
Not to mention ten days, living on it for just two days would already be a huge success.
After Bubtney had traveled a certain distance, Su Xiao once again determined the direction and set the correct coordinates again.
After doing this five more times, they finally reached the winding mountain.
This mountain wasn't too steep, but it was a little red. They apparently never left the red soil area.
Shortly after starting the mountain climb, the dog and man duo found a pile of coal ash.
