55 – Until it hits (2)
What is the most important thing to survive in a remote area? I think it’s drinking water.
The human body is weak yet powerful, and can endure starvation for days and days, but will die quickly if it is unable to drink water.
Does anyone say 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food? Willpower is the most important thing, but without water, everything is meaningless.
We have a potion that can be used as a substitute for water, but we should save this as much as possible.
“It’s good that you brought water. You can save a little bit of this and drink it.”
Fortunately, there was water among the planned preparations, so there was no need to worry.
I didn’t bring my own food, but I can put water in a small pouch bag. Above all, Grace is a wizard.
You can make drinking water with magic. Just throw it into the air and water! When I said that, it dripped.
I don’t know about anything else, but it seems I’m lucky with drinking water. Even when I lived in the forest, there was a valley near my hideout.
Still, it’s good to drink little by little just in case. A bottle of water was provided to each person, so I plan to do the same.
“Drinking water is fine… But what should we eat?”
Lee Yeon-joo asked cautiously after taking a sip of water. After a while, it’s time to settle for lunch.
Grace thought for a moment about Lee Yeon-joo’s question and then looked at me. He seemed to be leaving it to the experts.
‘Honestly, it doesn’t matter if I starve for a few days.’
The human body is optimized to survive without food. If it’s endurance, it’s endurance.
When I lived in the forest, I also ate bugs and small animals to survive. But even that was difficult.
Later, while awakening to mana, he came to hunt large animals, but mana consumes stamina extremely, so it is essential to replenish that amount of calories.
“······Mr. Shibar?”
“Yes.”
“Could you get me something to eat…?”
Grace asked cautiously. I thought about it for a while after hearing that.
If you feel like it, you can throw a few chubby bugs and you’re done. But they don’t eat
Thus, it means that you have to hunt animals and cook them over fire. You can never fill your stomach with emergency food.
‘There are many animals around.’
There are more than a few animals that can be caught right away. Also, it is comfortable to come into the comfort zone.
It was clear that we were the only ones nearby, judging from the fact that there was no sign of the other teams.
“Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
After thinking for a while, when I said it, Grace brightened her expression.
She’s a mage, so it’s a case of heavy consumption of mana. As I said before, the use of her magical powers leads to the consumption of her stamina.
“Insects. A lot.”
“··· ···”
When I told her to fill it with bugs instead, Grace stiffened as she smiled. Lee Yeon-joo’s complexion turned blue.
Of course it’s a joke. Now that I think about it, it’s okay for me, but to civilized people, bugs are just hate itself.
It would be fine if they were grilled over a fire, but it is doubtful whether they will ever eat it. I’ll have to try though.
I looked around and began to collect the branches that had fallen on the floor little by little.
Originally, you would have to find a hideout like a cave, but it doesn’t matter if you live here or not.
“·······What are you doing?’
“Fire.”
“Fire? You want to start a fire?”
“Yes.”
Grace realized that I was trying to start a fire. She looks at her with curious eyes.
It’s okay to just sit and watch, but I wonder if he noticed. Grace picked up a nearby tree branch and handed it to me.
Lee Yeon-joo just stands still and watches. She doesn’t know what to do.
Of course, all of that is acting. Even for the sake of one’s own reputation, he deliberately does nothing.
If it was his original personality, he would have been the most active. I can understand you now.
‘I’m a little curious about when the bare face will be revealed.’
It wasn’t long before tree branches were piled up, and dried leaves were placed on top of them.
You should be able to complain now. You can use Grace’s magic, but you have to save at least a little bit of magic power consumption.
Tak!
So she lightly flicked her fingers to light the embers. The heat was generated just by the friction of the fingers.
It is the same principle as using flint. Because my body is my body, these things are possible.
“······Samadhi evolution?”
Lee Yeon-joo murmured in surprise as the fire began to rise from the heap of tree branches. She is a martial arts name that I have heard a lot of somewhere.
But I didn’t have martial arts, I lit the fire with my ignorantly strong body.
“Yeonju-san? What did you just say? It sounds like an Eastern language.”
“Ah, it’s nothing. I thought it was a bit strange to see Sibar-san lit the embers…”
“Hmm. Well, yes. To light a fire with the snap of a finger. How many people can do this?”
Flame!
As they chatted, flames rose from the firewood they had kindled. The fire was lit, so all that was left was to get the ingredients.
I rummaged through my pockets and took out emergency rations and snacks. It was a slug I got from a rotten tree a few hours ago.
Fortunately, it didn’t burst somewhere, it kept its shape, and it didn’t die.
“I can’t believe I grilled it…”
Duduk-
Grace was speaking in a frightened voice. Behind her, she heard something stepping on a branch.
I couldn’t hear it well because of the sound of burning firewood, but it was clear to my ears.
“?”
Lee Yeon-joo, who has sensitive ears, looked back wondering if she had heard the sound.
A reaction that didn’t even care about acting. It is an instinctive reaction.
Okay or not, Grace was tired of looking at the bugs on my hand.
I wanted to grill this, but I think it will be difficult.
Pababat!
“Quieiik!!”
A wild boar started charging at us in the bush.
As Marlboro mentioned, snakes are one of the most dangerous animals in the forest.
“Kyaaah!”
“What, what…!”
Both Lee Yeon-joo and Grace were taken aback by the wild boar’s surprise appearance.
Though Lee Yeon-joo is acting, whereas Grace’s pretty face is uniquely damaged.
Even in the midst of being destroyed, the sharp eyes are still the same, making the expression even more mysterious.
“Quiek! Quieik!”
The wild boar lunged at us with its signature cry. It’s running towards me.
Normally wild boars never attack first. Unless it’s a surprise or a sudden encounter.
‘Is it because of me?’
Since ancient times, it has been said that the intuition of animals is frightening. The wild boar must have seen my existence as a threat and launched a preemptive strike.
If they were gentle like herbivores, they would have avoided them first, but wild boars are wild beasts with a dirty temper. Even in the forest, there was no animal that would carelessly touch an angry boar.
Kwajik!
But now it’s my lunch. I couldn’t believe it, but a rich lunch crawled through the vines.
I threw Ragnarok at the boar’s head, whether or not the boar came running. An ax that sticks right between the eyebrows.
There is a roaring fire between the wild boar and me, and we must protect it. I’m fine, but if there’s a fire in the forest, it’s a headache.
Dude-
A wild boar who died as soon as an ax was stuck in his head. Perhaps because of the recoil from running, it barely stopped after it reached right in front of Grace’s nose.
Grace looked at the wild boar with a daunted expression, then turned back. Pale complexion and wide-eyed eyes.
It was a face that wanted to say something, but it seemed that it was difficult to open its mouth. It’s the first time I’ve experienced something like this, so it might be.
I left Grace, who was in a panic, and got up.
Jjeok-
Soon after, I personally retrieved the Ragnarok stuck in the boar’s head.
Looking at the death rate even though it was thrown with little force, the performance is amazing. It will be easy to use in the future.
“Hmm.”
I looked around for wild boars. The wild boar is a bit exaggerated, and there are things the size of a house.
But this wild boar is small. A size between a young and an adult.
Maybe the academy deliberately adjusted it for the safety of the students.
“Gwa, are you okay…?”
“Yes, yes? Ah, yes… I-I’m fine…”
From noble mtl dot com
Grace managed to get up with Lee Yeon-joo’s support. Seeing his legs tremble, he seemed really surprised.
In the meantime, after checking the wild boars, I looked back and faced them. Then he pointed to the boar.
“Lunch.”
“Yes?”
Grace opened her eyes wide at my words. Then I looked at the wild boar behind me.
She blinked as if she hadn’t grasped the situation yet. I emphasized again.
“Lunch.”
“······That wild boar is lunch?”
“Yes.”
Grace heard my brief reply and looked back at the boar. A dead wild boar with its tongue sticking out.
It wasn’t long before her purple eyes shook like an earthquake. It’s much better than a bug, but it’s a wild boar.
Ingredients for meals that civilized people would never have thought of. The stomach is hurt enough.
“Mmm, wild boars should be edible. I heard that wild boars are domesticated pigs as we know them.”
As Grace’s worries deepened, Lee Yeon-joo carefully brought her words out. It seems that she is hungry too.
A wild boar of this size can’t fill their stomachs, so you can take it as food. With smoked meat.
“······Good. But how do we slaughter?”
“Uh… Wouldn’t Shibar-san do that too?”
“Mr. Sivar lived in the wild and he didn’t know the concept of slaughter, did he?”
That’s prejudice. It’s wild, but I also lived with butchering.
As soon as I heard that, I took the wild boar and moved to another place. It is impossible to slaughter here.
Originally, I would have made this kind of tool more convenient. But this is not the forest I used to live in.
As long as you have enough capacity to last until 7pm the next day, that’s it.
Kwajik!
So let’s get the head first. I hit the boar’s thick neck with an axe.
I could have easily cut it if I used the red magic power, but the Lord’s advice came to my mind.
If possible, don’t show red magic. I also listened to his explanation and decided that it could be a nuisance, so I put in the effort.
Kwajik! Wow!
The boar’s head was separated from the body with only three blows of the axe. At the same time, warm blood flowed out.
Now, lift it upside down and remove all the blood. Just in time, there was a tree to hang on.
‘Ah. But I don’t have anything to tie it to.’
This is a bit embarrassing. I looked back while thinking about how to tie it.
I was going to ask either of them if they had anything to tie them to.
And I was able to see a really interesting sight.
“Wooooo!!”
“Gwa, are you okay?”
As if she had passed the limit of her stomach, Grace was pouring out her contents on the floor.
Lee Yeon-joo patted her on the back and worried about her. It’s smoke and nabal, and it looks like Grace’s condition is serious.
I just cut off the head of a wild boar with an axe. I asked while scratching my neck as if I couldn’t understand.
I’m planning to hold a party in the future, but it’s too weak to just collapse like this.
“What are you doing?”
This is why civilized people.
*****
While Sivar’s team was running towards a total crisis, other teams were also surviving with their own abilities.
If I had to pick the best team out of the two, I could pick Kara’s team. Kara’s team is a well-balanced team.
Kara, a princess of Tartar, was far from her authority, and the other team members tended to obey her instructions.
“Don’t you eat that? It must be difficult if you don’t eat it.”
“How can you eat bugs, no matter how much you cook them?”
Of course, that did not solve the food problem. Unlike Kara, her teammates refused to eat.
It was a very natural reaction, considering that the meal was a bug, but Kara couldn’t understand it.
“No. I heard this is delicious? In the East, pupae are also grilled and eaten. Why can’t you?”
“That’s the story of the East! The culture is different, the culture is different!”
“That’s strange.”
To the furious protests of her teammates, Kara shoved the worm into her mouth. It is a worm that has been completely gutted and cooked over a fire.
Thanks to this, there was no disgusting taste at all, and only a savory taste lingered in my mouth. It satisfies Kara’s taste.
Tatar is basically a desert, so food shortages are severe. Because of this, the food culture is uniquely developed.
From bugs to rats to various beasts. Eat anything you can eat with fire.
‘Sivar would have eaten everything he was given.’
Kara moved on in her stride leaving her teammate looking at her with a look of disgust on her face.
Perhaps they consider themselves savages. Now I can say yes and move on.
As long as you don’t say it out of your mouth. The moment I say that I am a savage, I am thinking of throwing away everything and everything.
Brush-
At that time, the rustle of the bushes was heard in front of Kara. At that, her teammates, including Kara, turned their attention to that direction.
Unlike the teammates who started to be wary, Kara had a calm face. As if she knew in advance who was coming.
“Oh! Found it! Here it is, here it is!”
It was another survivor, and that was Antonio.
Kara made a puzzled expression when Antonio appeared. Antonio is Luna’s team.
But why is it that they are not vigilant and are responding that they are happy? In this practice, everyone except your own team is a competitor.
“······Sister.”
While Kara thought so, Luna shyly appeared. She looks like she’s noticing something.
I wondered if he had come to fight, but Antonio spoke first.
“Princess Cara. As a reminder, we are not here to fight.”
“Then what is it?”
“I’m here to make a tempting offer.”
“Hmm?”
At the word suggestion, Kara raised one eye. At the same time she turned her gaze towards Luna.
I don’t know what kind of scheme it was, but seeing as Luna was persuaded, it must be something out of the ordinary.
Let’s listen. Kara slung her curved sword over her shoulder and nodded her head as if to speak.
“What is it like…”
Antonio gave her explanation, as he had done with Luna. To eliminate Sivar first.
It’s impossible to beat him in a fight, and from the very beginning, this practice itself is unfair.
So it was a proposal to join forces with other teams to eliminate Sivar.
“······Do you think it’s okay?”
“Certainly, if he is there, we have nothing to do.”
It seems Kara’s teammates have already been persuaded by Antonio. It’s clear when you see them nodding their heads in agreement.
However, Kara’s reaction was no different from before. It was so indifferent as if it wasn’t very interesting.
“An interesting suggestion.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
Did I think I was almost done? Antonio was bright.
The same goes for Luna, who looked at her with a worried heart. As long as there is Kara, she will be a strong ally…
“I heard that there are many ways to commit suicide, but this is novel.”
“·······Yes?”
“Sister?”
Kara’s answer was a bit long, but very simple.
“Wouldn’t it be easier to be friends with a tiger?”
I refuse.
I like kara she is best girl after ellie
