Dark Blood Path

Over a hundred students entered the underground cave through the tunnel one after another. The underground cave was pitch black, and its space was not big enough for everyone, so it felt a bit crowded together. But precisely because of this, it gave people a sense of security.

After calming down, everyone was overwhelmed by extreme exhaustion, hunger, thirst, and despair. Two-thirds of these people were females, and the cave resounded with cries of every kind. There was a palpable sense of melancholy in the air.

However, Xiao Yu didn’t feel anything against that; crying was the best way to relieve mental stress. People would feel much more at ease after a good cry. The most important thing right now was to ensure everyone’s safety, as well as addressing the lack of food and water.

In the underground cave, there was a river with drinkable water. There should be no major problems as long as they are careful enough and tie a container to a wooden stick to get the water.

Xiao Yu called Han Kexin, Jin Shi, Wang Chao, and Jiang Xiaowen together. They were the strongest amongst the group. Jiang Xiaowen, the weakest among them, had already killed four goblin slaves. Among the remaining people, less than twenty had killed goblin slaves, and only a single one at that. Furthermore, they had known each other for a much longer time, making them the few people Xiao Yu trusted most here.

Han Kexin said worriedly: “There are too many of us, and we haven’t eaten for five to six hours straight. If this continues, everyone will starve to death!”

Wang Chao was the first to stand up, shaking the fat on his body, and said: “Yes, yes, as you can clearly see, I’m the one who can’t bear hunger the most, so we gotta find a way, so I can get something to eat!”

Xiao Yu nodded: “There are plenty of food sources in this forest. It is not difficult to find edible wild fruits, and even most monsters’ meat is edible. But there are so many dangers around, so we need to make weapons, arm ourselves, and form a small group of combat-ready people! We also need to create a batch of tools. The forest is filled with monsters, the majority of which are not very intelligent. Some simple traps are more effective than direct fighting and can produce better results as well.”

Jin Shi’s eyes lit up as he said, “Ha, why didn’t I think of that? I’ve read some books and am familiar with various types of traps. Though I’ve never tried them out, with so many students, everyone’s wisdom can definitely assist in quickly resolving most difficulties.”
