Chapter 383: Four Groups
"If we go hunting in the desert, we’ll only get weaker. Do you really want to stop after these hundred days, leave Spirit Blue Star, and lose your telekinesis?" Jerry looked at the people across and loudly questioned.
Those who stayed had a desire to grow stronger.
Hunting in the desert is indeed much easier. You could even use the fact that the fierce beasts of the desert dare not enter the jungle and settle on the jungle’s edge.
Perhaps there would never be an animal attack.
Such days could indeed be comfortable, but what about the days to come?
The next 100 days, they would still go to a new place.
By then, the fierce beasts they’ll encounter will only be stronger. If you don’t strive to become stronger, you might get instantly killed by the fierce beasts.
Is barely surviving for seventy-something days really enough?
"Bullshit, we’re just going hunting to stock up on some food. Everyone now has a Star Chart space. If we fill it up, it’ll be enough for us to eat for two months. Everyone knows that food in the Star Chart space won’t rot."
"Do we become stronger by starving? By hunting and storing more food, do we become weaker? What kind of nonsense is this, you tell us?"
"Right, you should still have plenty of food, but we were hungry this morning. If you’re really thinking for everyone, why don’t you share your food a bit with us?"
"You saw us going to the desert and feared you couldn’t handle the jungle’s fierce beasts, didn’t you? If you want to grow stronger, then go ahead. Why bother trying to persuade us to stay?"
The leader repeatedly argued with Jerry.
"That’s right, we’re just getting some food, and it’s like we’ve become deserters. Hypocritical, you’re too hypocritical. You eat well and have surplus food. What does it matter to you if you don’t catch any prey today, but we have to endure a day hungry."
"Brothers, stop talking to them. Let’s hurry up and hunt. We can kill some fierce beasts and fill our stomachs before it gets dark."
Saying this, someone was about to leave.
"I have five pounds of jerky here. Those willing to stay and fight together can come over." said Ivica, raising her jerky.
"Ivica..." someone whispered, and then said, "I also have some jerky here. Those who want to eat can come over."
Then, forty or fifty more people brought out their provisions in response to Ivica’s call.
Seeing this, Jerry couldn’t help but frown.
On the opposite side, forty to fifty people had already moved over to Ivica and Lei Jie’s side.
The remainder was only about forty to fifty people.
"Have you really decided to leave us? You have less than fifty people. Can you handle the fierce beasts if you encounter them?" Ivica asked. She hoped these people would all come over and become part of her and her brother’s group.
"Not just them, but us too." At this moment, a voice rose from the crowd, walking toward those still insisting on going to the desert.
"Eliminated ones?"
One by one, the eliminated ones detached from the formation and walked to the other side.
Altogether, 35 eliminated ones joined the opposite team, increasing their numbers to 82 people.
"Alright, let’s go. At the jungle edge, we can not only acquire a lot of food but also get brain crystals and training time. Fighting can make us stronger. Can’t training do the same? I, Tang Jie, believe there’s more than one path to grow stronger." With that, Tang Jie led the eliminated ones ahead.
"Training?"
"That’s right, training can also make you stronger. The environment at the jungle edge is stable, more suitable for training." In the group that stayed, someone was tempted and then moved to the other side.
people left, leaving only 263 people.
That is to say, nearly half the people left.
This result surprised both Ivica and Jerry.
During this time, they hadn’t given up on training. But after entering the Jungle Area, everyone’s training time had indeed been reduced. After all, training can’t replace sleep; they still needed to sleep at night.
"Xu Yi, what about us?" Lu Ke asked. She knew that she had made quick progress after training.
Fighting can indeed improve you, but it’s much slower compared to training.
"Let’s stay. Fighting can keep us on edge. The jungle edge is too comfortable. Granted, training can make us stronger, but with equal strength, we can instantly defeat them." Xu Yi believed that one must hone themselves under pressure. Going to the jungle edge would make hunting the desert’s fierce beasts easier as their skill increased, weakening the sense of crisis.
"I agree with that point. Now, we still have over two hundred people. Although our strength has been greatly reduced, if everyone cooperates well, we can still handle five or six fierce beasts." Qin Fan added, preferring to improve himself through combat.
"Alright, although we only kept half the people, those who left are the weak ones. If they stayed, they’d only hold us back. Without them, we can become stronger." Jerry stepped forward and said. It’s crucial to stabilize morale at this time, or else more might follow.
After all, human nature tends to prefer comfort and laziness.
"Alright, let’s move on. Combat is the only way to make us stronger." Ivica also stepped up and then led her people forward.
"This Ivica and Jerry are quite something, managing to gather a group. In comparison, Xu Yi really has it rough, just with his little team and his cousin’s team."
"Everyone has their resolve. Xu Yi isn’t the type who likes to wield power. As long as he gets stronger, why gather a bunch of people around him? Isn’t that tiring?"
"Now it’s split into four groups: Ivica and Lei Jie as one, Jerry and Lavinie as another, Li Kang as another, and Tang Jie with the eliminated ones as another. Right, Xu Yi and his crew are just a small squad, hardly a group."
"Nevertheless, I still favor Xu Yi’s team. After all, Xu Yi awakened his spiritual power, and even the organizers seem to value him more. Aren’t you curious what the organizers discussed with Xu Yi? He was missing for two hours!"
In Xu Yi’s live broadcast room, many viewers still had high hopes for Xu Yi and Qin Fan, believing that they could successfully complete the 500-day challenge. After all, Xu Yi’s combat prowess was much stronger than the others.
When others couldn’t even wound the fierce beasts, Xu Yi could.
Unfortunately, not many challengers realized this. Or rather, they deliberately ignored it.
Whether due to jealousy or other reasons, only they know.
