Chapter 698: Lin Ye is Finished, Organizers Laugh Out Loud [8K]

If it were a vegetable, they would have completed the task and found the corresponding ingredients, but they couldn't take the risk.

With time to spare at present, they couldn't just return with this black radish, not to mention they also had to consider the other players, especially the thoughts of the two old players, Lin Ye and Leng Shuang.

Because they obtained ingredients suspected to meet the task requirements, they immediately left; this was simply pushing themselves to the opposite side of Lin Ye and the others. What were they going to do in the subsequent events of the Gourmet Sports Meet?

They would be isolated and targeted; even if Lin Ye and others wouldn't specifically target them, not providing help anymore was a huge loss.

To clear the Gourmet Sports Meet and successfully live to leave this Eerie Game, the power of old players like Lin Ye and the rest of the players was necessary.

Therefore,

no matter what, they had to continue acting together.

"There's more over there, dig them out."

The newcomers from the other two groups were responsible for the digging task; they found suitable stones and wooden sticks and dug at the root position of the plants.

The soil was dug open bit by bit, and the black radishes were exposed more and more.

The gray rabbit looked with glowing eyes, but every time it noticed Lin Ye beside it, its eyes flashed with fear.

A few minutes later,

five black radishes were all dug out.

They were very large, with individual weights over two jin, and the largest one even reached three jin.

"I don't know if there's poison."

A single sentence made the few players who were looking forward to eating a meal to fill their stomachs change color immediately.

Unknown plants might really contain toxicity.

But as far as the present was concerned, it was feared that many plants in this area were unknown, novel plants, and they were completely unable to determine if there was poison.

"Want to let it taste it."

Lin Ye used a dagger to cut off a piece.

This method couldn't completely determine if the black radish was poisonous, but at least if the gray rabbit ate it and was fine, the probability of humans eating it and being fine would be greater.

"Ah, ow, ow..."

The gray rabbit looked at the black radish handed to it, its eyes very hesitant; it didn't dare to touch it at all, fearing it would face another beating and experience physical pain.

Even though it wanted to eat it very much.

"It's yours."

Lin Ye placed the black radish on the ground.

The gray rabbit looked for a good while before picking it up and gnawing on it, tasting this delicacy.

Two minutes passed.

This piece of black radish was finished; it subconsciously looked at Lin Ye again, subconsciously begging for more.

Lin Ye didn't let it down and handed it another piece.

It gnawed again.

After eating to its heart's content, Lin Ye waved at it.

The little guy was very scared, its courage was very small, but it still moved step by step toward Lin Ye.

"Very good."

"Next, take us to find other food."

Lin Ye pointed.

What they needed naturally wasn't this kind of black radish, but other ingredients.

But compared to searching randomly without a purpose, it was better to let the gray rabbit lead the way; the gray rabbit's daily food wouldn't just be this one kind, and it could also encounter other animals that frequently went to food-producing areas.

This was much better than them finding it themselves.

"Ah, ow, ow..."

The gray rabbit barked twice and led the way in front.

This time it had learned to be obedient; it couldn't escape, and the fate of the companion who dared to run was its fate. Since that was the case, it might as well cooperate.

Thus,

the gray rabbit hopped in front and led the way.

Lin Ye followed behind.

Leng Shuang, Nakiri Erina, and the rest of the newcomers followed.

And the found ingredients and the two gray rabbits were now the responsibility of the newcomers to carry.

Dense forest, rustling friction sounds constantly.

About ten minutes later,

the gray rabbit suddenly stopped its footsteps.

"What's wrong?"

It was just in place, no longer moving.

"Is food nearby?"

Lin Ye looked around, but didn't find any plants suspected to be ingredients in the surroundings.

He pushed it, but the gray rabbit retreated and hid behind Lin Ye.

This action made all the players who saw it, including Lin Ye, understand.

"There is danger."

Several newcomers became worried.

There was some wild beast nearby.

"Miss Nakiri, you all retreat and return the way you came, keep the sound small. If a wild beast appears, be calm, don't run around in a panic."

Once they scattered and fled, even if they wanted to protect people, they couldn't protect them.

The blonde girl nodded.

The newcomers carefully moved their steps and returned the way they came.

"Rustle..."

A strange sound suddenly rang out.

Lin Ye and Leng Shuang immediately looked in the direction the sound came from.

Clairvoyance skill activated.

Passing through the grass and lush tree leaves and branches, Lin Ye saw clearly what kind of creature it was.

"It's a snake..."

"Body size."

"Body length is probably over twenty meters."

Leng Shuang: "..."

Twenty meters.

How big must that be.

"I'll create an opportunity for you."

"Okay."

With Lin Ye there, Leng Shuang felt she could give it a try.

The wild beasts here were all eroded by the eerie aura and could already be said to be eerie wild beasts, or even monsters; how strong their combat power was, she didn't know.

If it were her alone, she would decisively choose to flee to avoid conflict.

After all, killing this giant snake here had no benefit, but instead would consume a large amount of her physical strength, and she might even get injured, affecting her subsequent actions.

But with Lin Ye there, Leng Shuang was very at ease.

Lin Ye gestured for Nakiri Erina to move away, and the gray rabbit was tied to his waist by him.

And the gray rabbit was also very stable, without any thoughts of struggling to escape; it seemed to also know that to survive at this time, it had to rely on Lin Ye.

'Rustle, rustle, rustle...'

The sound of wriggling and crawling rang out, becoming increasingly intense.

"It's coming."

A large amount of green grass swayed, and within a few seconds, a behemoth darted out, its huge snake head opening its blood-red mouth and pouncing toward Lin Ye. ===== CHAPTER 699 =====
