Chapter 934: Crab

A skirmish ended. Su Xiao was not injured, but Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was rarely injured.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked out from behind the tree, limping. The tree it was hiding behind was already riddled with holes, with dozens of fist-sized holes distributed on the trunk.

The position of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's injury was the root of its hind leg, near the buttocks. What was strange was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's face and body were covered in mud.

Under normal circumstances, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would likely be seriously injured by such dense attacks, but what kind of dog was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang? The moment it hid behind the tree, it started digging a hole with its head down. In less than 0.2 seconds, it dug a hole large enough to hide most of its body.

Due to the attack angle and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's posture, its buttocks naturally "got hit."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked out from behind the tree, limping. It didn't care about its own injury, but was searching everywhere, looking for that roasted beast leg.

"Here."

Su Xiao picked up the beast leg from the ground, shook off the leaves on it, and the limping Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately ran up.

Su Xiao checked the injury on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's hind leg. The wound was very deep, fortunately, it didn't hurt the bone.

"Treat the wound first."

Su Xiao took out a narrow dagger. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was originally running toward Su Xiao, suddenly turned and ran away, clearly remembering some bad memories.

Ten seconds later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was pressed to the ground by Su Xiao.

"Awoo—"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a long howl, its teary-eyed big eyes seemed to be saying: "I don't want to take medicine—"

"Stop talking nonsense, the scales of that creature are still inside your body. If you don't take them out, you will be a cripple for a long time."

Su Xiao's words failed to "soothe" Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. It had followed Su Xiao for a long time and knew how rough Su Xiao's way of treating wounds was.

Su Xiao's process of treating wounds after being shot was as follows:

Shallow wounds were directly picked out with hands. If the bullet was very deep, he would first cut open the wound with a sharp tool, take out the bullet, and then suture and bandage it. Simple and rough.

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang howled for three minutes, Su Xiao took out the scale covered in blood, then applied medicine + sutured the wound + bandaged it for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes were full of tears, but without the scale rubbing in the wound, it was no longer limping, and its legs and feet were much more nimble.

Overall, this battle solved the food supply for Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang for one day. It was obviously impossible to eat three meals a day in the Forest of the Strong. Eating one meal a day was enough to ensure stamina.

The captured food plus the jerky in the backpack provided two days of food.

Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang left quickly. The smell of blood here was too strong. As for the corpses of those silver-scaled creatures, not to mention that they were humanoid creatures and psychologically difficult to accept, more importantly, their flesh had a strange smell. Even if there was no poison, it contained trace amounts of toxins.

"It's really painstaking. If I'm not mistaken, eight or nine out of ten creatures in the Forest of the Strong have toxins in their bodies."

Su Xiao's face didn't look very good. These poisonous creatures must have been specially arranged by Alice or the Wolf Butler.

Compared to food shortages and guests running around, Su Xiao was more worried about one thing: Alice's clone. The other party was also in the Forest of the Strong. In this case, the other party would definitely come to find Su Xiao, it was just a matter of time.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, looking a bit excited.

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and soon understood the other party's meaning.

"Found a water source?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran quickly toward the east side of the forest, and Su Xiao followed closely.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang arrived in a mountainous area. This mountainous area was not large, with only two mountains, and the trees nearby were sparse.

One mountain was covered with vines. These vines were intertwined with each other, forming countless natural vine cages. Climbing up was impossible. The other mountain was bare, without even a blade of grass.

Between the two mountains, there was a three-meter-wide stone valley. The valley was tens of meters deep, with more vines distributed inside, and the sound of water could be vaguely heard.

After searching, Su Xiao found that the water source was a mountain spring. On the mountainside of the lush mountain, a mountain spring as thick as an arm flowed down, flowing all the way into the stone valley between the two mountains, forming a stagnant pool at the bottom of the stone valley.

Of course, the water in the stagnant pool could not be drunk. It contained a large number of microorganisms and parasites. The mountain spring water flowing from a high place was different; it was fresh water filtered through rocks and carbon layers.

Unfortunately, the vines intertwined on the mountain blocked the way. To get the mountain spring, one had to either climb up through the gaps in the vines or forcibly open a path.

Su Xiao grabbed a vine and tried to pull it off.

With a crack, the vine broke. It seemed easy, but Su Xiao had actually used 60% of his strength.

It was unknown what kind of vine this was. Not only could it take root on rocks, but it was also so sturdy. Using Zhan Long Shan to open a path was feasible, but it required a lot of stamina and time, which was not worth it.

What is the biggest difference between humans and wild beasts? Humans use tools. Su Xiao took out a remote-controlled airplane from his storage space and tied a water bucket under the remote-controlled airplane. He wouldn't carry a knife to cut up the mountain; that was the behavior of a reckless man. He had so many tools in his storage space that he forgot how many he had.

Buzz—

Su Xiao held the remote control, and the remote-controlled airplane ascended. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang leaned over, the meaning was clearly: "Master, I want to play too."

Su Xiao threw the remote control to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately gained spirit, its buttocks didn't hurt anymore, and its waist didn't ache anymore.

While Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was operating the remote-controlled airplane to fetch water, Su Xiao took a piece of jerky from his backpack. Now that food and fresh water were scarce, he couldn't wait until hunger appeared to eat. Eating small amounts frequently could better ensure stamina.

Tearing open the jerky, Su Xiao threw half to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and began to chew a small piece of jerky in his hand. This thing didn't taste good, and he didn't know if it was Alice's deliberate doing or what, but this thing was extremely hard.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang chewed the jerky with bitterness. If it weren't for the food shortage, it would definitely spit this thing out; it couldn't be chewed at all.

"Chew a few times and swallow directly."

Su Xiao's voice was a bit slurred. He swallowed the jerky with a gulp, rolling his eyes, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also swallowed the jerky in its mouth, also rolling its eyes. The man and the dog were perfectly synchronized.

Buzz—

The remote-controlled airplane drove back. The water bucket under the plane was full. This water was enough for at least two days of drinking.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had lost a lot of blood before and was now thirsty, but it didn't dare to drink. It wasn't that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was modest, but it didn't know if there was a problem with this water.

Su Xiao took out a transparent carbon ball. This was a white-quality consumable specifically used for detecting water quality.

If the carbon ball turned red, it meant the water quality was undrinkable. Yellow meant drinkable but contained harmful substances. Green meant safe, and colorless meant high-purity water.

The carbon ball fell into the water. After waiting for a few minutes, the carbon ball turned green. This was safe, drinkable fresh water.

"Very good, get more fresh water, at least enough for five days..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, he heard an extremely subtle sound.

Pop, pop...

This sound was very much like the sound of some insect's carapace hitting a stone slab.

A pure white crab crawled out from a stone crevice. This crab was the size of a palm. If it lay on a rock, it would be difficult to detect. Moreover, this crab had the ability to shield perception. At least before this crab approached within seven meters of Su Xiao, he didn't perceive it.

"Food."

Seeing this crab, Su Xiao smiled. Not only was water found, but food was also replenished. However, in the next moment, his smile disappeared directly.

Pop, pop, pop, pop...

Dense knocking sounds came, and Su Xiao's pupils constricted. He witnessed an extremely astonishing scene.

Originally, there were two mountains near him. One mountain was full of vines and had a mountain spring, and the other mountain was bare, without even a blade of grass.

And now, that bare mountain was disintegrating. This was not a mountain at all, but composed of countless white crabs.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked excitedly, the meaning was clearly: "Master, so much food."

"Food your sister, run!"

Su Xiao picked up the water bucket and turned to run. Not to mention how strong the white crabs were, the number of these things was in the millions. Now who was the food was really uncertain. Would white crabs that could survive in the Forest of the Strong really be weak? Of course not. This kind of white crab was one of the creatures at the top of the food chain in the Forest of the Strong. ===== CHAPTER 935 =====
