Chapter 31: Hidden Danger

David had also spotted a cracked clay pot in the fire, but he was in no hurry.
He had made a total of three clay pots. He had been prepared to test his hand.
Currently, one of them had split open, and there were only two left that he couldn’t see.
I only hope they’re intact, then I can have hot soup tonight.
An hour later, the fire slowly died down and the clay pots slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The previous one was already in pieces while the other one had cracked open as well. However, there was an intact clay pot at the bottom.
Even though not all of the pots were successful, at least one was.
Having one of them was already great, David was very satisfied.
He took out the clay pot and examined it carefully. There was no problem with it.
He brought the clay pot to the beach to wash it before heading to the water source to fill it with water.
He also picked some fruits along the way. After these few days, almost all the trees were plucked clean.
He brought the things back to his lodging and started a fire. He cleaned the fish, put it into the pot and added salt.
After a while, a pot of fragrant fish soup was ready, emitting an alluring fragrance.
After the soup was done, he took a bite. It was delicious and pleasing.
“Wow, I just see a pot of fish soup. Why is it so fragrant?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t look like much. Why am I hungry?”
“This video really whets one’s appetite. I want to eat something now.”
David polished off the fish meat and the soup.
He finally had a satisfying meal.
At the end, he even made a pot of fish soup for Luca, using the cracked pottery as a dog bowl.
When he poured the soup into the bowl, Luca took a sniff and immediately wagged its tail.
“You’re really picky, you know that this tastes good, huh?”
Luca quickly finished a bowl and licked its lips.
Ding!
“Detected increased intimacy between Host and pet, current level: 90%.”
David was delighted to hear this.
From the looks of it, it wouldn’t be long before his intimacy with Luca reached 100%.
After reaching 100%, what would the so-called level up be?
After eating and drinking his fill, he rested on the bed for a while. The sky gradually darkened.
The day seemed long, but it actually passed very quickly.
At night, he went to check on the traps as per usual.
He was lucky, he picked up two more hares.
The hares were panicking, their eyes were bloodshot.
When they saw him, they became even more guarded.
David carried the hares back to his lodging, and the sky completely darkened.
At that moment, he did not realize that there was an unusual change to the entire island.
Many of the beasts living in their territory started to slowly change their locations.
Especially those in the middle strip, it was as if they sensed something that all of them successively moved towards the periphery.
The small animals that initially lived by the sea felt the pressure of the wild beasts and were all terrified.
It was precisely because they were fleeing that many people found food.
Even in other places, many people without food caught exhausted small animals.
In the main livestream, Ally saw the situation and smiled.
“Looks like all the contestants are very lucky to have encountered animal migration. This will solve the majority’s problem with food.”
“What they will face next is how to survive in the long term. It will soon be the rainy season, and there will be more extreme weather like this morning.”
“If they fail to find shelter in such a short time to prepare for the extreme weather, they will still face other problems.”
“According to my statistics, there are currently eight contestants who are down with colds of varying severity.”
“If we expand the scope to being injured, there are already 17 people with injuries of varying severity.”
“They still have a lot of tests ahead of them. I hope they will continue to work hard.”
Wade sat by the side and listened, paying attention to the screen.
He was observing the current situation. Through the images, he could see every location clearly.
Based on his many years of survival experience, the sudden migration of small animals was not a good thing.
Sometimes, it was also an omen for bad things.
He looked around and saw that only large beasts had started moving.
There were no special reactions. Instead, it seemed like an act of common practice.
Wade didn’t notice any problem, so he pushed the questions out of his mind and watched quietly.
Beside David’s lodging were two trees with ropes tied between them.
There were five such rows.
And now, there was quite a bit of meat hanging on them. Whether they were the hares or the pheasant, they had all been slaughtered by him.
Otherwise, he would still have to feed them every day. If she didn’t feed them, they would lose weight quickly.
In this situation, it was better to just kill them and turn them into jerky.
There was fish meat hanging on the lower row. After this period of time, they had already dried.
When he was ready to go out for a long time, he would bring some dried meat in case of need.
With so much dried meat, even if there were other accidents, he need not be afraid of running out of food.
Storage was also a big problem. The land by the sea was very humid and the food could easily rot if placed on the ground.
There were also no sealed bags or the like here. Finally, he thought of the clay pots.
He used up all the soil he brought back and made three clay pots and two small bowls.
It would now be much more convenient during his meals. He could have fresh food anytime.
He planned to dig up some more soil and make two clay pots specifically meant to hold dried meat.
Soon, the 10th day arrived.
David carved a word into the tree. It was one of his markings.
Only then would he be able to remember exactly how many days had passed, not as a countdown to the 100th day, instead, it was a psychological cue. He was a person with a strong sense of time.
If there was no indication of time, he would feel extremely flustered.
He had to have a rough understanding of the time and place he was at to feel at ease.
After finishing his morning’s routine exercise, he arrived at Morton and company’s territory.
After waiting for a while, he met Andrew, who was patrolling outside.
Andrew frowned slightly when he saw him. He wasn’t as welcoming as Clark was.
“What are you doing here?” Andrew asked brusquely.
David said, “I want to dig up some more clay soil. I can trade something with you.”
Andrew looked at him closely and realized that he was wearing a pair of shoes.
They looked very sturdy, that was something they’d always wanted.
When they walked barefooted outside, even their patrolling speed was very slow.
Andrew said coolly, “Follow me.”
