“Do you want to eat crab legs?”
…
Jiang Kun looked at the more and more blood in the water, and his face became more and more ugly.
He could even vaguely hear waves of indistinct movement coming from the other end of the mountain wall. The river was shaking and shaking, and the mountain wall was faintly shaking.
Jiang Kun was extremely surprised——
This cave is like a sound-swallowing cave. Most sounds cannot be heard from far away, but now the movement is so loud that it can even be felt from the other end that is forty or fifty meters away. It is really hard to imagine what is happening over there.
Jiang Kun didn’t even dare to think about the situation of the two people on the other side of the mountain wall now, whether they were dead or alive…
He and Luo Qi looked at each other, and they both had a basic estimate of the current situation.
After Luo Qi was silent for a while, he took a deep breath and said: “It’s time for us to continue setting off.”
Jiang Kun was startled: “Won’t we wait for them? They just went down!”
Luo Qi whispered: “You have also seen the situation over there. It will be a bottomless pit if we wait any longer. We don’t have so much time to spend here.”
Jiang Kun frowned: “Ke Ji just went down not long ago, and you didn’t even give them a chance to wait?”
“He’s been down for thirty minutes.” Luo Qi interrupted Jiang Kun. He looked at Jiang Kun with a serious expression, “Tell me, knowing that there is a crazy giant female spider over there, and seeing so much blood and water, how much hope do they have of surviving?”
Jiang Kun opened his mouth, but was speechless by Luo Qi and couldn’t find a way to refute.
Objectively speaking, he knew that there were usually no survivors in this situation, but there was always a blind trust in his heart, thinking that Lu Liran would be an exception.
Seeing that Jiang Kun was silent, Luo Qi took Jiang Kun’s silence as acquiescence.
He sighed softly, looked at Jiang Kun and said in a low voice: “I don’t want to make this decision, but I must weigh and consider the chances of more people being rescued under such circumstances.”
“The longer we stay underground, the greater the consumption.” He emphasized, “It is not only a consumption of physical strength, but also a consumption of willpower.”
Luo Qi’s voice was low: “What we often call the golden hour of saving people is not only a physical consideration, but also a mental consideration.”
He pointed at Ah Kang, who was lying on the ground, and Professor Nan Guo, who was lying a few meters away, and said in a deep voice: “There are two injured people here. How long can they last?”
Not to mention Nan Guo, in Jiang Kun’s eyes, there was nothing regrettable about Nan Guo’s death, but Ah Kang’s condition was indeed not good, and several serious injuries on his body quickly took away his physical strength.
Jiang Kun was shaken. He stared at the water and said hesitantly: “I understand…they need to be treated as soon as possible, but if we leave like this, even if Ke Ji and Lu Liran come back and are seriously injured, they will not be able to walk out of here on their own.”
Luo Qi was silent. What he didn’t say was that he didn’t think Ke Ji and Lu Liran were still alive at all.
He didn’t understand why Jiang Kun always seemed to have an unfounded trust. No matter how dire and obvious the situation in front of him was, Jiang Kun couldn’t seem to shake his belief that the two people were still alive.
Luo Qi thought for a while and said: “We will make signs along the road. After we get out of the cave and call the rescue plane to send them up, I will come back to find them.”
He assured Jiang Kun: “I will not give up on any trapped person.”
Hearing this, Jiang Kun had no choice but to nod: “Then I’ll help you send Ah Kang and that guy out together first.”
Luo Qi breathed a sigh of relief: “Okay…”
Before Luo Qi could finish his words, he suddenly heard a loud splash coming from the water surface, which made the two of them turn their heads subconsciously in shock.

“I’m fine.” Lu Liran waved his hand and rejected Luo Qi’s support and touch, and said to Jiang Kun and Luo Qi, “If you want to help, help Ke Ji. He is dragging something heavy, help him pick it up.”
Lu Liran spoke very quickly and swam ashore quickly without any pause.
He bounced hard a few times, did a few sets of burpees, and then gathered a circle of small shrubs growing near the water. He picked out some animal fat, dug out a flint and started it, and then directed Ah Kang, who was lying on the ground, to pick up some dry branches and bring them back to light the fire.
He carefully held the small ball of flame in his hand, fearing that it would be extinguished accidentally.
“It’s not easy, it’s much warmer.” Lu Liran exhaled, and he and Ah Kang carefully lit the fire.
Looking into the water again, Jiang Kun and Luo Qi heard Lu Liran’s words and didn’t understand them, but subconsciously followed Lu Liran’s words to find Ke Ji.
They saw that Ke Ji was a few meters behind Lu Liran. As soon as the two of them swam closer, they saw something long shadow following under the water behind Ke Ji, which seemed to be decorated with red and yellow stripes, a bit like a water snake.
Jiang Kun was so shocked that he screamed and reminded Ke Ji, but he heard Ke Ji say: “It’s not a water snake. It’s dead. Take it.”
“Get it?!” Jiang Kun’s voice changed its tone, rising eight degrees.
Ke Ji didn’t bother to explain, he directly picked up the two spider legs that fell behind him and threw them towards Jiang Kun accurately.
Jiang Kun was almost pushed into the water by the sudden weight. Fortunately, Luo Qi hurriedly gave him a hand and shared half of the weight.
The two of them took a closer look and saw red and yellow stripes and hairs. The closer to the lower end, the harder the hairs were like steel needles.
Jiang Kun yelled, goosebumps suddenly appeared on his skin: “Is this the female spider’s!?”
No one responded to him, and when he looked at Ke Ji, he had already swam to the shore quickly.
“It’s really cold. Come up first.” Luo Qi shivered. He didn’t know whether he was disgusted by the spider’s legs or frozen by the water.
He hurriedly said something, urging Jiang Kun to swim back together with these two things, which weighed thirty or forty kilograms.
A fire has been lit on the shore, and the bright light of the fire can always calm the tension and uneasiness in most people’s hearts under most circumstances.
——Ah Kang and a few others also had a clump of fire but it was quickly extinguished. They didn’t have flint on them, so it was too difficult to make a fire. Anyway, they were almost dry, so they didn’t spend any more effort.
Jiang Kun and Luo Qi dragged two complete spider legs, which were more than three meters long, to the shore. They looked at Ke Ji and Lu Liran, who were sitting by the campfire and warming themselves without any injuries. They couldn’t help but open their mouths:
“You two were not injured?! Instead, you killed the female spider?! What about those blood? What happened to so much blood?”
Lu Liran corrected: “Strictly speaking, there are two monsters. They killed each other first, and in the end we reaped the benefits.”
“Two?!” Jiang Kun’s voice changed again.
One is enough, but two are a sure-fire situation?!
Even Luo Qi’s eyes changed when he looked at Lu Liran and Ke Ji. He finally understood why Jiang Kun had mysterious trust in these two people——
To be able to escape from such a dead situation and even kill two giant mutants is like a fantasy!
“What are these two spider legs?” Akang asked curiously.
The professor next to him also looked at the mutated corpse with eagerness! This was the first time he had the opportunity to see it so close!
Lu Liran glanced at Ah Kang and Nan Guo and said slowly: “Food.”
“……?!”
Jiang Kun was a little mentally prepared, although he still felt a little disgusted when he heard Lu Liran admit it personally.
When they thought of the giant female spider and the tide of little spiders that emerged from the cocoons, they had just escaped from death, but they didn’t expect that they would become food in their mouths in the blink of an eye.
This change was somewhat unexpected and somewhat difficult to accept.
Jiang Kun was like this, not to mention Luo Qi and the others, and even Nan Guo looked at Lu Liran with a look of disbelief on his face.
Lu Liran caught a glimpse of Nan Guo’s expression, raised his eyebrows, and smiled sarcastically at Nan Guo: “Forget about others, who are you showing this expression to?”
Just when Jiang Kun and Luo Qi were helping to pull up the two spider legs, Lu Liran noticed the obviously bloody new gauze on Ah Kang’s wrist. After asking about it, he knew that it was Nan Guo’s masterpiece.
It was outrageous that a man, who attacked his companions and had a taste for blood, had the audacity to look horrified at his food choices.
Lu Liran snorted coldly.
Ah Kang stammered and asked Lu Liran: “Is this really edible?”
“What can’t be eaten after it’s roasted?” Lu Liran said as he pulled out his long sword and quickly cut the two three- to four-meter-long spider legs into more than a dozen pieces in a few strokes.
He asked Ah Kang: “Do you want to eat crab legs?”
Ah Kang nodded, then shook his head: “I can’t afford it.”
“You can think of these as the legs of a two-headed king crab.” Lu Liran said, “The taste is almost the same.”
After hearing this, Ah Kang looked at the spider legs and the white meat in the legs, and suddenly felt a little greedy.
[Goddamn king crab’s legs!! Hahahahaha I almost believed Brother Lu’s evil deeds!—— CheeseFries gifted the anchor 1x Sushi]
[I think the children seem to have been fooled into it, haha]
[Suddenly, I got the idea of how Brother Lu used to put those weird things into his mouth…he must have relied on this meal replacement method!]
[As expected of you, Brother Lu——ChiliSeeds gifted the anchor 1x Top-quality Wagyu Beef]
[Now I kind of understand why Jiang Kun said that Brother Lu was really cruel when he was hungry]
[Ah? When did he say that? Why don’t I remember?]
[Oohh! I mean, Brother Lu can fight! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!]
Regardless of what others thought, Lu Liran picked out the meat from the spider’s legs, skewered it on a branch, and roasted it over a fire.
When the color changes from transparent white to thick milky white, it’s almost ready to eat.
Everything is edible.
Lu Liran tore open a section. The milky-white meat section was tight and plump, strands of strands, and slightly hot to the touch. After blowing on it twice, he couldn’t wait to stuff it into his mouth.
The others looked at Lu Liran without blinking. For some reason, watching Lu Liran devouring the food, they actually had the illusion that it was really fragrant——literally really fragrant.
Meaty.
——They can almost ignore that it is spider meat.
Ke Ji had been fed more strange foods by Lu Liran, and now he calmly picked up a piece and bit into the spider shell one after another.
“Actually, it doesn’t have any taste. It tastes like clam meat and tastes a bit like chicken breast.” Lu Liran looked at the live broadcast room and explained.
“Once underground, the passage of time becomes blurry, but I’m sure we need a solid, hot meal like this to replenish our strength now.”
“It not only replenishes physical strength, but also brings simultaneous pleasure and relaxation to the body and mind.” Lu Liran took another big bite of meat with satisfaction, he chewed it, and looked at the others with raised eyebrows, “Are you sure you don’t want a piece? It’s free for a limited time, and I used to have to charge for it.”
Jiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and then said: “I’ll eat it!”
[Hahahahaha fuck, Brother Lu, I almost forgot, it was indeed paid before!!]
[Hahahahaha, the Xian family’s merchant fleet collapsed crying in the desert, and was treat differently]
[Probably the Xian family’s merchant fleet looks very rich and good at harvesting wool, hahahahaha]
[Yes, these people look very poor now. They can’t afford to buy anything, or they have no choice but to sell themselves]
[Hahaha, Beauty was the first to refuse]
Soon, everyone got at least three pieces of spider leg meat, including Nan Guo.
Lu Liran gave him a cold look: “I’ll give it to you, just to prevent you from dragging us down on the road. But don’t worry, you will be sent to the Supreme Court of Desolate Star as soon as possible after you escape, and the law will punish you.”
Nan Guo moved his lips, as if he was smiling.
“What if it doesn’t go as smoothly as you imagined?” Nan Guo asked abruptly as he took a bite of meat, licked the tips of his fingers.
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, completely different from when we first met him.
Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth: “You can try it.”
[Oh yo yo!! This professor, he’s actually quarreling with Brother Lu]
[Professor Nan sounds like he has a lot of background]
[Laughing to death, in terms of background, is it comparable to Brother Lu?]
[But the Lu family is the main family of Solto Star after all, and they have no foundation in Desolate Star…]
[I’m really not sure, but I think no one can make Brother Lu suffer]
[Well, compared to Brother Lu’s own capital backing, does anyone still remember that Brother Lu’s partner is the commander? If Professor Nan has a backstage, the Federation Commander-in-Chief must be able to control them!]
[…I don’t know why, but I always feel like the commander is like a vase (cough)]
[Maybe he’s too beautiful (dog head)]
[Compared to his beautiful face, I recognize the super mecha as the commander, hahahaha. Every time I see Beauty, I have to make an equation in my mind: Beauty = super mecha = commander]
[Commander crying face]
I’m all for roasted professor! Though I’d have to say that after that it’d only be edible for the worms. Who knows what toxins lie in such a toxic man
I wish they would consider searching the Prof. Because he doesn’t care if everyone dies
