However, no matter how different Nan Xi was at the moment, there were pitifully few comments about her. Almost everyone was looking at Nan Zhao’s situation.

As soon as Nan Ye and the other two entered the forest, they felt a sense of oppression, as if something dangerous was spying on them from behind.

There were many plants and trees in the forest, and they would be blocked by all kinds of obstacles after taking a few steps forward. They had to go around with difficulty.

When they finally saw two rabbits in front of them, Jiang Yue was about to turn around and signal the two people behind him to stop when Nan Ye stepped on a branch. The sound of the branch breaking scared the two rabbits away.

Then, they saw a pheasant looking for bugs to eat. Nan Ye pounced on it but missed it. The pheasant flapped its wings and flew away in front of him.

In the forest ahead, Nan Ye’s sharp eyes suddenly saw two sharp horns emerging from a place. It was a deer.

The three of them looked at each other. Then, each of them took a sharp stone and quietly advanced in the direction of the deer.

When they finally got close to the deer, the three of them were about to form a circle to surround the deer when the deer suddenly got frightened and ran towards Chen Dong.

Chen Dong was afraid that he would be hit by a deer, so he hurriedly ran towards Nan Ye. Nan Ye subconsciously pushed him away, but Chen Dong did not want to be left behind. He grabbed Nan Ye’s sleeve, and Nan Ye grabbed Jiang Yue, who wanted to come over to help.

No one expected that there would be a gentle slope behind the deer. The three of them lost their balance one after another and rolled down hand in hand.

Seeing such a clumsy and funny scene, the audience in the live broadcast room began to laugh.

[I’m dying of laughter. These three people aren’t here to find food. They’re here to be funny, right?]

[With this reaction level, how dare he compare with Nan Zhao? They couldn’t even compare to a fraction of Nan Zhao.]

[I’ve seen a variety of humans. Some chased monkeys and swung from tree vines, while others were scared by a deer and rolled down the slope.]

[Isn’t the strength of the guests on this show too unbalanced? Nan Zhao and the others are like one strong fighter vs. five rookies.]

[This place isn’t good at all. I’m about to get a headache. Nan Zhao’s side is still more exciting.]

After the three of them got up from the bottom of the slope, they were all covered in dust and dirt. Each of them had different degrees of light bruises on their bodies.

Patting the dust off his body, Nan Ye scolded Chen Dong. “Are you crazy? Why are you running when the deer is approaching you?”

Chen Dong recalled the scene of Nan Ye pushing him away and was very unhappy. “Where did I run? I asked you to help me, but why did you push me?”

“You’re a burden. If I don’t push you, who will I push? Besides, if you didn’t pull me, would we have fallen?” Nan Ye was unhappy.

Jiang Yue was also furious and joined the argument. “Nan Ye, why are you pulling me? If there’s a cliff below, no one will come to save us if we fall!”

“I was careless! Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?” Nan Ye said in a muffled voice.

“Alright, stop arguing. It’s more important to find food first. No one wants to starve to death.” Chen Dong frowned.

The three of them continued to walk forward angrily.

Fortunately, there was a small pond in front of the slope. The three of them’s eyes lit up and they ran to the pond to drink.

“I’m so thirsty!” Jiang Yue shouted and lowered his head to drink the water.

Seeing this, Nan Ye and Chen Dong did not have time to think about anything else and also drank.

After the three of them drank their fill of water, they immediately felt much more comfortable. So, they plucked the large leaves of a nearby plant and used them to make six funnel-shaped water bags. Each of them carried two bags of water with them.

However, when they left, they found the footprints of large animals on the edge of the pond. Judging from the outline, it should be some kind of large creature, such as a bear or a tiger. For safety reasons, they did not continue to go deeper but decided to go back quickly.

On the way back around the slope, Jiang Yue also found a nest of turtle eggs. There were a total of ten eggs and he put them in his pocket.

Seeing the three of them return, Nan Xi went up to them with anticipation. When she saw that the three of them did not have any food in their hands, her little face immediately fell. “Why is there no food?”

“Those animals were too agile. We didn’t catch them. Here’s some water. Little Xi, drink it first.” Nan Ye replied and handed Nan Xi a leaf bag filled with water.

Nan Xi quickly took it and drank it in a few gulps.

When she finished the first pack and wanted to drink the second pack, Jiang Yue saw this and reminded her. “Nan Xi, don’t finish it so quickly. It wasn’t easy for us to bring it back.”
