Chapter 538: Jumo Island (Forty-Four)

After jumping off the terrifying leaf, the players walked northward (it didn't matter where they went, only creatures in this universe could tell the direction of the island).

The farther they were from the silkworm mother's nest, the wider the crystal path in front became, and the fewer forks in the road.

The four walked at a fast speed for half an hour and came to a wider place.

At this time, they stopped and officially began to rest...

"Ah..." Atobe lay down again, "I won't leave this time, at least let me lie down for two hours."

"Totally agree." Tianma Xingkong continued, and he also lay down while speaking.

On the other side, Honghu also sat down against the wall and read, "I feel blisters on the soles of my feet... but I can't take off my shoes, and I can't see anything abnormal in the status bar."

"Hehe... then you just bear with it." Feng Bujue smiled.

Honghu sighed: "Well... This reminds me that it is better to choose sports shoes as fashion in the future."

"That..." Xiao Ma Ge panted for a few times on the ground, and immediately said, "Are you hungry? {I think I want to eat something again..."

"Ah, I am almost the same." Feng Bujue continued thoughtfully, "It has been less than three hours since the last meal. Logically... the feeling of hunger should not be so obvious. It seems that the hunger effect in this script is faster than the cycle in reality..."

"Maybe it's because our consumption is relatively large." Jibe continued, "And... I didn't eat enough at all in the previous meal..."

"Impossible." Feng Bujue immediately denied, "I am not like you. Because of psychological resistance, I have a reluctant attitude towards food..." He said very proudly, "I ate until I was nine-tenths full before stopping."

"What do you want to say..." Jibe said with empty eyes, "To express that you are a pervert who eats people without spitting out bones?"

"No, Brother Feng wants to talk about the problem of eating rhythm..." Honghu interrupted.

Feng Bujue snapped his fingers and continued, "Yes, as you can see, I who ate 90% full and you who only ate 60% to 70% full... the time when you feel hungry again is about the same." As he spoke, he took something out of his bag.

The expressions of his teammates changed when they saw what he took out.

"Hey, hey! No need?" Jibe was the first to shout, "We already have mutton. Why did you take out the fragments of Vokel's body?"

"First of all. This is not a body fragment, but a reserve food that I roasted and preserved." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "Secondly, don't worry... I'm not taking it out to eat. Even if you want to eat it, I won't force you to eat it." He raised the piece of meat. Put it on the palm of his hand. "I took this piece of meat out to explain it."

"Okay..." Jibe replied helplessly. He understood that even if he couldn't explain it well, he had no ability to stop the behavior of the madman in front of him...

"This piece was cut from the back of Vokel. It is the tenderloin." Feng Bujue continued, "According to my measurement..." He really weighed it with his hand before saying, "It is about 540 grams to 570 grams."

"Can you tell me the key point... Don't do this again..." Even Xiao Ma Ge persuaded him with his hand.

"Don't do it, what?" Brother Jue shrugged and asked.

"Don't do such horrible things as if nothing happened..." Hong Hu continued, "Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but you have to accommodate the feelings of normal people like us. You hold a piece of meat cut from a humanoid creature and calmly talk about the parts and weight like a professional butcher, which will scare people..."

"Okay~Okay~" Feng Bujue accepted it humbly, but he had no intention of improving his actions. "Anyway, just treat this piece of meat as 550 grams." He gestured on the meat with his fingers and said, "In the sacrificial hall, the portion I ate was about 500 grams, and each of you only ate less than 350 grams." He paused, "But now, we are almost hungry at the same time..."

At this point, Feng Bujue looked up at his teammates: "Did you notice the problem?"

"Your appetite is 30% bigger than ours?" Xiao Ma Ge answered wittily using elementary school mathematics knowledge.

His answer was so outrageous that Feng Bujue was too lazy to refute it...

"I understand..." Honghu seemed to have come to a conclusion, "Eating until 90% full and eating until 60% full are essentially the same..."

"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded in response, "We should have thought of it earlier... There is no setting for excretion in this game, so the process of our digestion of food... is definitely not completely realistic." He continued, "Obviously, in this script, the so-called "eating" is just a way to relieve hunger; it has nothing to do with "taking in nutrients, metabolism" or anything like that." He put the piece of meat in his hand back, "In a sense... we are very similar to zombies, eating purely because we are hungry."

"So... it doesn't matter how much we eat?" asked Jibe.

"That's not entirely true." Feng Bujue replied, "I guess... if you want to temporarily eliminate the negative effects of hunger, you have to eat until you are at least 50% full... after this point, the feeling of hunger will basically disappear, and eating more will just be for the 'feeling of fullness'." He touched his chin and said, "Therefore, I suggest... that we only eat half full every time from now on."

"I agree." Hong Hu responded quickly, "In this way, under the premise of keeping the total amount of food unchanged, we can last longer."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if you're five minutes full, let's roast the mutton!" Tianma Xingkong exerted strength on his waist and sat up from the ground.

"Okay..." As Feng Bujue spoke, he had already taken out the branches of the Tree of Mockery and was ready to light a fire. "If I ask you to eat Walker's meat now, you will probably refuse... "

…………

At the same time, above the Fear Leaf.

"Am I just going to roll it up like this?" Bill stood on the leaf veins and shouted to Billy below.

At some point, there were many bloody bones in the crystal path nearby. Most of them are ferocious beasts that came from other places, some were attracted by the smell of blood, some were attracted by the smell of death, and some... were prepared to take over the Silkworm Mother's position as the overlord.

But. They were all killed by Bill without exception. After all, these creatures are just creatures on the "Inverse Island". Even the most powerful silkworm mother among them... is still far behind compared to the "prisoners" on the island.

Even Lysende, the first player the players encountered, was as powerful as the Silkworm Mother. Not to mention the hidden boss at the level of "Fu Ling". If Fuling is in a sealed state... it doesn't take much effort to push the silkworm mother directly into the shit and drown her...

"How can it be rolled up?" Billy responded from below, "Do you think it's a natto roll? If you do it this way, the body parts will leak out from both ends."

"What should I do?" Bill asked.

"Make it the same way as making zongzi." Billy replied.

"Uh..." Bill thought for a few seconds, with a confused expression on his screen face, "But there are no threads for tying the rice dumplings?"

"Can you just use the vine monster you killed just now to tie it up?" Billy asked again.

"Eh? That's right." The xd emoji appeared on Bill's face, "Haha! Use local materials."

"Alas..." Billy shook his head. "He is still so unreliable in doing things. And he doesn't like to use his brain..." he mused, "I hope that staying with Zhuan Jiezun for a while will help him grow..."

Bill, who was high up, did not hear his brother's words. At this moment, he was cutting the leaves of the fear leaf with his fingers.

The fear leaf is naturally not just an ordinary big leaf. Otherwise, the mother silkworm would not choose this place as her nest. In terms of hardness. The fear leaves are indeed not as hard as the surrounding crystals. But its "resilience" is amazing. No matter what kind of damage it is, the fear leaf can repair itself in a short time... For the silkworm mother, when she can't catch the prey. This leaf was her breakfast, lunch, and dinner...and she could never finish it.

At this moment, Bill was preparing to take advantage of this characteristic of the fear leaf, cut off and lift out a piece of the leaf, and pack up the body of the silkworm mother and take it away.

Hey, hey, hey—

With a sound of metal rubbing against leather, the cutting began.

Bill's fingers can be deformed to a certain extent. As long as he wants, the five fingers can be transformed into five small chainsaws (small is relatively speaking, one of Bill's fingers is close to the width of a human palm), or five small chainsaws. A hammer, five screwdrivers, etc... These little tricks are nothing to mention.

He walked while sawing, lifting as he walked...working slowly around the body of the silkworm mother.

When the fear leaf was damaged, it began to heal itself. The surface layer of mesophyll has just been peeled off, and new plant fibers have begun to grow from the incision. So don't worry that the leaf in the middle will fly into the air and fall.

Not long after, Bill was ready. He used the layer of leaf meat that he cut out to wrap the body... After three strokes and five divisions, he wrapped all the pieces of the silkworm mother's corpse into a triangular leaf rice dumpling.

Billy, who was watching from below, saw that his brother's hands were a little busy, so he also used his telekinesis to help. He waved his fingers, and the corpse of the vine monster was immediately pulled into a neat long strip, and flew up to the Terror Leaf to complete the binding.

"Okay, done." Bill stood next to the "big corpse rice dumpling" and patted the thing next to him with a sense of accomplishment...

"Pick it up and follow me." Billy said at this time.

"Ah?" Bill was stunned. "Aren't we leaving this island?"

"Yes." Billy looked down at his watch again, "I have to visit someone...and then I'll leave..."

…………

"I said...is it dark now?" Tianma Xingkong looked at the gradually dimming crystals around him and asked.

At this time, the players had finished eating and rested in place for an hour and a half.

In the first ten minutes, they were still a little nervous, fearing that the system would give a negative game judgment. As a result... half an hour later, there was still no movement. At that time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that in this script, the system recognized the behavior of "rest".

"Who knows..." Feng Bujue replied, "There's no sun, moon or stars in the sky..." He added in his mind, "Maybe there isn't even the concept of 'sky' here, who knows what we see when we look up. What? Who knows what the speed of time here is? Maybe a night here lasts for thirty hours; maybe the reflection in the sky is the real Jumo Island, and the place we are in is a mirror image; ...The creatures here will transform at night..."

"We can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, so we are really helpless..." Honghu continued.

"Well... okay..." Tianma Xingkong said with his hands on his head, "It doesn't matter. Even if all these crystals stop glowing completely, we still have that pile of fire and other lighting equipment."

"The problem is..." Feng Bujue's eyes changed slightly, and he continued, "If the entire crystal maze is completely dark, then is it really good for us to stay near the light source..."

"Yes... it will attract monsters." Jibe continued.

Honghu also said: "Yes... if there is really a so-called "dark night" here, then there must be "nocturnal creatures". At that time... it is really inappropriate for us to stay next to such an obvious light source."

"So... how is your physical value recovered?" Feng Bujue suddenly asked.

"Much better than expected, it has reached 60%." Honghu replied.

"Me too." Jibe continued.

Tianma Xingkong also said: "Almost."

"Okay, let's get ready to go." Feng Bujue said, then stood up and patted the crystal dust on his body.

"Huh?" Ji Bu asked in surprise, "Hey... it's getting darker around."

"That's why we have to go..." Feng Bujue replied, "Our human eyes are not suited to darkness. We need light to see things anyway. Whether we stay where we are or keep moving, the lights and engines will not be turned off in either case... In this case, we might as well take a flashlight to explore the way."

"Yeah." Tianma Xingkong also stood up and stretched his muscles a few times, "We have been here long enough, it's time to move."

"Staying where we are or leaving... which is more dangerous..." Honghu continued, "I reserve my opinion..." He looked at Ji Bu, "Ji Bu, what do you think?"

Ji Bu was stunned. This time he became the decision maker, which is really a rare situation.

"I..." Ji Bu hesitated again and again, and still said, "I think... let's go... the mission must be completed."

In fact, he didn't think too much, but instinctively leaned towards Feng Bujue. At this moment, it is better to follow Jue Ge's plan than to follow your feelings...

So, under the principle of minority obeying majority, Honghu also accepted the proposal of action, and the four of them set out again.

They didn't know yet...the most terrifying crisis in the whole script has quietly approached them...(To be continued...)
