On the barren rock plateau, Star Uchiha looked helplessly at the earth hole on the ground.
"You can stay still, but you don't know how to watch when you walk! Climb up quickly!"
"I don't."
"Have you lost your head? If you are a gopher here, I won't stop you."
"Xing, it's a bit strange down here. You'd better come down and have a look."
Go down?
A little weird?
The Uchiha star hesitated for a moment and jumped down the hole.
The earthen cave is five or six meters deep, with strange passages underneath it. Sunlight shines in many places, and there is no darkness like ordinary caves.
Looking around, the corridors extend in all directions, just like spider webs and mazes.
“Under the barren stone plateau, there is a cave!”
"Could this be some kind of sandworm, a trace left by the worm's walking? Looking at this size, the capture level should not be lower than 25."
Star Uchiha stroked both ends of the wall and carefully observed the marks.
"There are no traces of spiral ore teeth pushing forward. It's not a sandworm."
"It's a bit like a cave, except that it collapsed naturally."
The two of them walked and stopped along the cave.
It was found that the branches of this cave are extremely wide, and the closer to the ground, the smaller and more numerous the caves become.
Going deeper, many caves merge together.
Like an inverted tree root.
"Xing, how deep do we go?"
"About 700 meters..."
Sponge looked up and could no longer see the top of the cave. The surrounding area also became extremely dark.
People always have fear of the unknown and darkness.
Sponge swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "How about we go back? The cave is not fun at all."
"Haven't you discovered it yet?"
"Huh? Don't beat around the bush and just say what you have to say!"
Uchiha Hoshi smiled slightly, and a little arc of electricity skipped on his pink palm.
"Our physical strength is consumed faster than usual... about 5-10% extra consumption."
Sponge's eyes widened: "Could it be that..."
"Okay, it's time for us to go!"
The Uchiha star was covered in arcs of electricity, and he was speeding through the cave like a meteor!
The lightning on his body illuminated the way forward.
Sponge followed closely behind, not losing any speed.
In one minute, you can advance thousands of meters in the cave...
"There is light ahead..."
"We're here!"
"The speed of physical consumption is still increasing..."
The two of them rushed into the light!
Rock domes, luminous moss, tall ferns.
Earth's inner world!
A completely different scene from the barren rocky plateau, full of life!
After dispersing the arc around him, Uchiha reminded: "Pay attention to saving your physical strength, the consumption rate has reached 220%."
Double consumption.
The careless sponge doesn't care about this at all.
I have started a journey of wonder around me.
My mind is completely immersed in all kinds of ingredients I have never seen before.
"Come and take a look. This dried branch has the smell of cinnamon... and this green grass can be made into chive flower paste... This strange beetle is a bit like cochineal, and it extracts red dye!"
Sponge was completely immersed in the new world, and said with a forgetful giggle: "I didn't expect to find the paradise so easily. Those people before were really idiots!"
Uchiha Xing frowned.
Still can't believe it.
The legendary place of death, the road of hunger that killed countless high-end gourmet hunters, is this what it is?
A simple pit, plus double the cost?
And although there are many kinds of ingredients around, none of them are above level 5. For the reputation of the Hungry Road, it is a bit too shabby.
"Could it be that..."
"Sponge, follow me!"
The Uchiha star did not activate the electric energy increase speed, and only used two legs to go crazy deep into the cave!
"Why are you running all of a sudden... There are a lot of ingredients that I didn't record..."
The further you go...the underground world gets bigger!
Ten minutes later, the rock wall above our head was no longer any different from the sky.
In places with high humidity, there are even white clouds floating...
Although it was only ten minutes later, the two of them had traveled at least 30 kilometers!
Sweat dripped from Haixing's forehead... He said with a little fear: "Sure enough... this is just the beginning of the road to hunger! How big is it here!"
"You said this is just the beginning?" Sponge finally came to his senses.
Uchiha Xing clenched his fists and felt carefully: "The consumption speed is 240%, and it should increase if it continues to go deeper."
Twice less scary.
What about five times?
What about ten times?
Even more!
Who knows how far this road of hunger is!
No wonder some of those senior explorers spent decades here.
Thumbs up from Swirl Sponge!
"Isn't that better?"
"Only in this way, the food collected will be more delicious! Xing, let's work hard!"
Star Uchiha was helpless: "You guy... you really have no desires and no worries."
Looking around, the ingredients have also been upgraded to level 5.
Obviously, as the level of danger increases, the quality of the ingredients also increases.
The two opened their backpacks and found that there were still 70 kilograms of food left, all of which were high-energy delicacies.
But these are only enough to last four days, which is probably enough to restore 15% of the physical strength of the two of them.
This is already the limit for carrying light equipment, any more will be very cumbersome.
"Let's add some food first, it will definitely be more dangerous."
"I'm so envious of those space equipment. We won't be so embarrassed."
Compared with the barren rock plateau, the food here is quite rich.
Collect dry firewood and dead leaves, cut stones to make pots, chop tree trunks to make stakes, hollow out the inner flesh to make water containers, and use the grease under the pine bark to make fires to support combustion...
The two of them are indeed professional wandering chefs with rich experience in wilderness survival.
Sponge carefully took out a small bag, which was full of various condiments. The conditions were already poor in the wild, so it was all about improving the taste.
After about twenty minutes, they both returned together.
"The rabbits here are very cunning and can bite people. I trapped three of them. I found some moss and mushrooms under the roots of the tree. They should not be poisonous. How do you feel?"
Uchiha Xingdao: "Three large catfish, fifteen river frogs, two water snakes, more than twenty small fish..."
"Huh? How did you do it?"
"There is a river over there."
Saying that, Uchiha Hoshi revealed the Chidori Style on his left hand.
Sponge said speechlessly: "The electric fish is not bad...it has many drawbacks."
The two of them not only have a level as high as 55, but their strength is also ranked as a seven-star chef, which is rare in the world.
The cooking techniques are outstanding.
In order to survive in the wild, what I have learned is even more extensive.
The simple fish catch was perfectly paired together under the two people's care.
"These big catfish are so fat that you can just take out the swim bladder and boil it into oil."
"When you have oil, stir-fry moss, wild vegetables and fish fillets, add some chili pepper, salt, soup, etc."
"The marrow was dug out of the remaining bones and stewed with the remaining meat. The mushrooms were also put in..."
The aroma floated from the stone pot, and the two of them were intoxicated by the aroma.
"Sure enough, there is nothing more comfortable than having a good meal after a hard day's work."
Although the ingredients are not high-end, they are enhanced by the cooking skills of the two.
The energy gain ratio is very exaggerated.
Ordinary ingredients around level five have about 75 kilograms of edible parts, which can supplement about 10% of energy for two people.
At their level, it is very difficult to rely on one meal to satisfy the body's needs in the wild.
"Okay, let's get started!"
"Wait a minute...did you hear anything..."
The starfish puts its ears to the ground.
He said with a serious face: "There is something coming straight to us, with a clear goal, very fast, and... more than one!"
