When Mao'er saw that Chen Jie really ate the grasshopper, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he still couldn't bear it.
"How about it?
Is the taste acceptable?"
Attalo smiled gently at Chen Jie, with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Well, it's delicious, the meat is very delicious."
Chen Jie nodded and said bravely that he was not used to eating this kind of food, but many people would fry these things and sell them as street snacks.
"Of course, everything here is purely natural, and most people can't even eat it if they want to."
Attalo said happily. When he saw Chen Jie eating the grasshopper in his hand, Attalo's mood instantly took off. He turned around and walked forward with cheerful steps.
When Chen Jie passed by Mao'er, Mao'er visibly hid to the side with a look of disgust.
"Cat, I don't believe you haven't eaten bugs."
Chen Jie smiled at Mao'er, raised his legs and walked forward.
Mao'er glared at Chen Jie's back bitterly and followed him muttering.
The three of them lined up in a row and walked forward. Only Atalo would catch some strange bugs from time to time and put them in his mouth. Only when he caught big and fat grasshoppers would he pass them to Chen Jie.
At first, Chen Jie was a little resistant. As his physical strength went away, Chen Jie felt that using grasshoppers to replenish his physical strength was the best protein.
"I'm tired, and it's already dark. Should we continue searching?"
Mao'er pursed her lips and looked at Chen Jie's back.
"tired?"
Chen Jie heard Mao'er's voice and stopped. He was a grown man, so he was not that afraid of getting tired, but Mao'er was a woman after all, and her physical strength was incomparable to that of a man.
"If you are tired, I have something to eat. Do you want to eat some?"
After saying that, Attalo took out the bugs he had been searching for from his pocket and prepared to feed them to the cat.
"No, thank you."
The cat's whole body was resisting the insect in Attalo's hand.
Attalo looked at Chen Jie beside him with an innocent face, wondering what he had done wrong.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jie reached out and grabbed the grasshopper in Attalo's hand, threw it into his mouth, and started chewing it.
"She's not hungry. Let's walk forward for a while, maybe..." Before Chen Jie could finish speaking, he heard a long cry, like a bird's cry, and then Attalo instantly became tense.
His face was full of panic.
"Oops, there's danger around here, let's go back quickly."
Attalo understood the signal in the voice and knew that it was coming from people in the tribe. He quickly urged Chen Jie and Mao'er to leave here.
"what's the situation?
Is this your signal?"
Chen Jie instantly understood that this was a signal between Attalo and the indigenous people.
"That's right, when the signal sounds, it means people nearby, let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, it will be too late."
Attalo said in a panic, urging Chen Jie to leave with Mao'er.
Mao'er and Chen Jie looked at each other, and just to be on the safe side, they followed Atalo and walked towards the back.
We can't move forward, we can only retreat.
After walking for a while, Chen Jie stopped, looked at Attalo's back, and said in a gloomy tone.
"Attalo, now that we have gone this far, the danger has been lifted."
Attalo turned around and saw Chen Jie looking at him seriously. Attalo quickly took a few steps back, came to Chen Jie's side, and spoke anxiously.
"Chen Jie, if someone catches up outside, it will be bad. It's better for us to go farther away."
After Attalo finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the cat.
The cat was leaning against a big tree nearby, looking at the sky as if in a daze. Attalo had no choice but to look away and look at Chen Jie.
"Attalo, if we can't find the team, I won't go back with you."
Chen Jie said in a cold tone, with a stubborn look on his face.
"Chen Jie, I will definitely accomplish what I promised you. If you can walk out of the tribe once, you can walk out a second time. I know that with my ability, I can't keep you two, so I guess I will form an alliance with you.
, I really sincerely help you find a team, please believe me."
Attalo spoke with great emotion, as if he was really doing it for Chen Jie's benefit.
"I trust you, Attalo. I want to find my team by myself. You go back to the tribe first. I will go back to the tribe to find you at night."
Chen Jie changed his approach and wanted Attalo to understand his thoughts.
"Chen Jie, you still don't believe me, otherwise why don't you let me follow you?"
Attalo looked at Chen Jie with a sad face, but felt a little anxious inside.
"Attalo, believe me, you just go back to the tribe first, and I will definitely look for you at night."
At this time, Chen Jie had already realized that something was wrong. He had believed Atalo's words too easily just now.
He already felt that there were many more people around him.
"What if I have to follow you?
Will you kick me out?"
Attalo's tone suddenly became firm, as if he was a different person.
"I won't chase you away. I'm still waiting for good news from you. I just don't want you to suffer with me. Attalo, go back to the tribe. My affairs should not involve you."
Chen Jie said softly, and the expression on his face became very soft.
"I want to go with you. You will be safe only if I am here."
Attalo shook his head and refused to leave.
"Okay, you two stop acting. I'm tired from hearing this. Let your people come out! Don't make it difficult for them. It's so tiring after following you for such a long time."
Mao'er crossed his hands on his chest and looked at Attalo with a look of disdain.
"You, what are you talking about?
Why didn’t I understand?”
Attalo said stiffly, not expecting that his plan would be discovered so quickly.
"Are you really not coming out?"
After saying that, the cat walked towards Attalo's position.
When Attalo saw the cat's menacing appearance, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Chen Jie, looking horrified.
"Chen Jie, she, what does she want to do?"
After Attalo finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Chen Jie's arm, with a look of panic on his face.
"Mao'er..." Chen Jie shouted helplessly. Seeing Mao'er glare at him, Chen Jie immediately gave up his position.
The cat walked up to Attalo and stared directly at Attalo.
Without Chen Jie as a protector, Attalo was still a little scared. She knew that Mao'er was very skilled and she was no match for Mao'er. Attalo was about to retreat when she saw Chen Jie standing beside her, and immediately stopped.
Come down and look at the cat without fear.
She hoped that Mao'er could bully her so that Chen Jie could take action for her, but she didn't believe that Chen Jie would just watch her being bullied.
"Chen Jie can't protect you, and no one can protect you."
After saying that, the cat stretched out his hand and scratched Attalo's neck.
