A long time had passed and Shen Chen and the others were still nowhere to be seen, which made many strong men in the camp think that they had been killed in the previous monster attack.
Even Zi Ou and others from the Sable Clan really hope that this kind of thing will happen, so that Brother Zifeng and his ancestors will no longer have to worry about certain things.
But Zifeng didn't believe it would be so easy. That group of people was mysterious and unpredictable. If it was really so easy to lose his life, he wouldn't have been put on guard before, trying to find out the depth.
As time goes by, Shen Chen, the nine people and the old mongoose are still missing, which makes more and more people believe that those guys will probably never come back.
Even the ancestors of Ziyu have some strange flashes in their eyes. If this is true, it is not a good thing for them. Since they are people who disobey the rule, there is nothing to regret if they die.
But before the camp could move forward for long, suddenly, ten figures caught up from behind. Who could they be if it wasn't Shen Chen and the others?
Seeing that they returned safely without any casualties, Zi Ou and others were a little disappointed.
Zifeng, Ziyu Ancestor and others looked at each other and fell silent. Zi Mo sighed secretly, these guys are really not in danger so easily.
"Everyone just came here now, where have you gone?" As the leader of the alliance, Zifeng naturally couldn't turn a blind eye, so he couldn't help but ask when he came over.
"We encountered some trouble, so we hesitated for a moment." Shen Chen smiled lightly and covered up the matter vaguely.
He said so, and Zifeng knew that there would be no results if he asked again, so he calmly turned around and left.
At night, everyone set up camp in the area near the bottom of the cliff. It was too scary here, so strict protection was needed. The number of people responsible for night watch and the various alliances increased many times compared with usual, and there were also ongoing disputes between the alliances. It is safer to have some general cooperation and guard each direction.
Although the places where strong men from all walks of life choose to stay are in rock formations, the soil is relatively stiff, and it is not easy for monsters that are abundant underground to come out and launch attacks, but this does not mean that it is safe.
Because the resting position is fixed, it is difficult to guarantee that the underground Zerg monsters will not be able to emerge from the rock formations bit by bit over time.
So that night, many people did not dare to rest much after settling down. Even within the defensive circle, they were always vigilant because they were worried about monsters emerging from the ground.
At night, in addition to stopping traveling, it is natural to start eating to restore the energy consumed during the day.
However, although there were many strong men who gathered troops first-hand to launch a counterattack against the underground Zerg monsters, not many of them gained anything, and most people are still short of food.
At this moment, watching a group of people eating, the strong man who has no food is naturally very unhappy, because on this island, once you are hungry, not only will you feel hungry, but even your taste buds will be stimulated by the taste of food and produce primitive appetite.
This is very frustrating, and even makes some strong men have the urge to steal other people's food. However, there are basically no strong men nearby here. They are all in their own camps, even those from various alliances. People lack cohesion internally, but if they attack with such arrogance, those allies cannot sit back and ignore it, otherwise they will lose all the meaning of the alliance.
Therefore, even if they are tempted by the strong men around them who have food, most people can only endure their hunger, try to divert their attention as much as possible, or simply pay a huge price to exchange for food from others.
For Shen Chen and his camp, as expected, Zifeng soon took the lead in bringing out a lot of food and distributed it to everyone. Originally this was just to win over the new people who joined the group, but Zifeng knew how to do things. Knowing the consequences of favoring one over the other, everyone gives.
Of course, the amount of food distributed cannot be sufficient, and it can only allow those strong people to barely fill their stomachs and have a small meal. Even so, many strong people are very grateful to Zifeng, realizing that this alliance leader can Give them food.
This kind of method is more effective than many tactics. At this point, eating has become the instinct of living things, and it is an indispensable need. Giving some food to others when they are hungry seems to be better than giving it to others when they are in danger. A helping hand is much more useful.
What Zifeng took out and divided up was mainly the silver-armored bull bug during the day. The monster was not inferior to the Sky King Kong in strength, and it was huge. After killing it and cutting it into eight pieces, it was enough for more than 300 people to eat for three days. It's been four days.
However, what Zifeng is even more clever about is that he only distributes limited amounts to the weaker ones except for the elites, and does not give too much. He can't even eat enough tonight.
This is obviously a bit cunning. He gave food but did not give enough, which will make those strong people urgently need to rely on him in the next few days. In this way, they will naturally become more obedient.
It was a change of checks and balances. Everyone could see it, but there was nothing they could do about it. In order to get more food, they had to flatter the strong men of the Sable Tribe.
On this island, the harsh living environment and the many instincts of living beings have been highlighted again. The bottom line of the so-called strong people's dignity has been pushed downwards time and time again. In order to survive, many strong people have even changed their past. style.
"You guys are so capable, you shouldn't need the food we distribute, right?"
The food was distributed by the leaders of each team. When they arrived at Shen Chen and the others, Zi Ou passed by with silver-armored cowworm meat, with a joking look on his face, as if he was unwilling to give the food to Shen Chen and the others in vain.
When the strong men in the surrounding team heard this, they were a little excited. Not giving it to these ten people meant that they could get more.
"No!" Shen Chen nodded lightly. He was still hesitant about how to refuse. The girls would definitely not eat the insect meat when they were brought back.
However, if a strong man from the Sable Tribe sent it over and they didn't accept it, there would be some suspicion that Zifeng would take the opportunity to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that this young man from the Sable Tribe was very stupid to talk to them in such a tone. The words were like giving alms, which gave Shen Chen and the others a reason to reject them face to face.
Don’t you want to give alms? We don’t want to give alms. This is no problem, right?
In the distance, Zi Mo shook his head helplessly. Zi Ou is really stupid. Since he knows that these people are secretive, they have hunted many monsters before, and they have plenty of food, they should know that this is nonsense!
Not only is it nonsense, but it also puts them, the leaders, into an unjust situation, and allows those guys to be content not to take their things, so that they will not be legally disadvantaged.
Hearing Shen Chen's unhesitating refusal, Zi Ou immediately realized his stupidity, asked nonsense, and gave these guys a step down so that they could eat their own food without restraint.
The most ingenious move would have been to give the food to Shen Chen and the others in a very "generous" way, and then when they were eating their own food, he would sneer at them and accuse them of having no conscience. Instead of sharing the food they had, they would Possess everyone's share.
This can instantly point the fingers of all allies at this group of people, but now, with his condescending banter, they can completely fend for themselves with peace of mind.
"Hmph!" Zi Ou was a little embarrassed, snorted, and strode away.
"This guy is really a bad teammate." Meng Yuhan covered her mouth and chuckled. Just now, they were worried that the strong man from the Sable Tribe would take the opportunity to cause trouble, but they did not expect that this person would be so petty and petty, and immediately blocked the room for causing trouble. Already.
"Whatever, no one will eat the insect meat anyway, and I won't give it to you!" Feng Yue sneered, not disdainful of such a little trick at all.
Not long after, while other people in the surrounding camps were eating the unpalatable insect meat, Shen Chen and the others set up a copper cauldron on the bonfire, with snake soup boiling in it, and the aroma was overflowing. .
This is really a torture for all the allies. Insect meat can only replenish physical strength. It is extremely unpalatable and has a strange taste in your mouth. But at this time, someone is cooking delicious snake soup nearby. It's obviously a torture.
In fact, those who were tortured by Shen Chen and the others were the strong men of other nearby alliances. Those alliances were even worse. The alliance leaders only focused on themselves and ignored them. Therefore, with no food and grass, they could only smell the fragrant snakes. The taste of soup makes me hungry.
This is simply more frustrating than dragging them out to fight for 300 rounds. A powerful person, if they are among the outsiders, they can enjoy endless delicacies, but on this island, even the most basic food and clothing is a problem.
But Shen Chen and the others' "torture" skills continued, and they cooked snake soup. After that, Shen Chen and the others began to braise crab meat and grill large pieces of fish!
"fish?"
Smelling the aroma of grilled fish, the expressions of the strong men around him changed a bit this time. Even Zifeng, Zi Mo and the others looked at each other with shock in their hearts.
There are many vicious fish in the rivers in the canyon in this area, so naturally they have heard about it.
But not to mention how powerful those vicious fish are, just getting to the river is a difficult and scary thing, because you have to pass through a wide soft area on the way.
Today, that place is the place where underground Zerg monsters appear most frequently. In that kind of soft soil area, underground Zerg monsters can easily carry out raids and burrow into the soil. Even a large number of powerful monks can't do anything about it. They are full of dangers.
.
When a crisis suddenly broke out before, the first thing people thought of was to flee to the rock formations. Even if they recovered and started to organize a counterattack, they would not dare to rush deep into the sandy terrain.
Because in that kind of place, the advantage of having a large number of people is almost non-existent. No matter how tight the formation is, it cannot withstand the Zerg monsters suddenly emerging from the center of the people. The formation will be disrupted in an instant, and when the strong men from all walks of life want to do it again
During the siege, the insect monster escaped again.
It can be said that the sandy area is now regarded as a restricted area, and not many strong people dare to step into it anymore.
So where do these guys get their fish from? Judging from the weight of those fish pieces, they are definitely not small fish, but cut from huge monsters. How could they be so evil? Not only did they cross the sandy land, but they also brought water into the river
The vicious fish monster is being hunted?
The strong men around them were all horrified. This group of people was too abnormal. Reason told them that maybe these guys' fish and meat were obtained a long time ago, but they were only taken out now.
But for some reason, many people still believed that this group of people had caught the vicious fish before, and since they arrived late, they seemed to be even more convinced.
Shen Chen and the others ignored the weird, greedy, and salivating looks around them. When most of the strong men around them were still hungry, they were very unkind and prepared a three-course meal with wine.
With such a rich harvest, if the strong men around them who are empty of food and grass are driven crazy to death and want to ignore the alliance struggle and rush in to snatch all these unkind guys, isn't this a clear torture?
Even the food provided by the various alliance leaders and top figures is a bit shabby compared to Shen Chen and the others. Some alliance leaders are still eating bugs, and their treatment is not as good as that of a small team.
