Chapter 2 - Human-eating Insect

[Name: Adam

Human tastes: 1

Smell: 1

Digestibility: 1

Physical strength: does not meet statistical criteria.

Mental strength: does not meet statistical standards.

Hunger: 0 (You are not currently hungry)

Grade: Trash.

Storage room: Not activated.]

Living in the dog kennel feeling the experience of being a pauper, Adam couldn't help but smile, this hungry world's hatred for humans is too great.

Adam turned his gaze to the right over the cage.

Sure enough, there was a very small hole, as thick as a ham sausage.

From the direction of the cave, you can faintly hear voices coming from outside.

Several low frightened roars, hurried movements, bone-biting sounds.

There was even the sound of chewing flesh.

Among these sounds, a small voice sounded outside the cage.

As if someone was sawing something.

The sound got closer and closer, toward the hole at the top right of the cage.

Urgent and fast.

At the mouth of the cave, a long worm was burrowing in.

The long worm insect was green mixed with brown, the upper teeth and lower teeth in its mouth were like sharp saws, constantly grinding the object in front of it.

It turned out that the sound of the saw came out of his mouth.

When Adam looked up, a prompt arrow appeared.

[The man-eating insect, called Chilop, has a keen sense of smell and can find humans by the scent of a human who has reached the first mark, its two rows of teeth work like a chainsaw, and can quickly destroy human muscle tissue.]

[If you're sleeping, it will eat away one of your entire legs by the time you wake up.]

[Its skin greatly confuses both prey and predators. It is not easy to detect in the dark of night, but its defense is not strong, and once you find it, you can kill it with a kitchen knife in your hand.]

The worm-head Chilop kept probing left and right, smelling the only human scent left on Adam's body, like the smell of Adam's feet.

The teeth in the mouth of the Chilop worm grind rapidly, and a trail of slime flows out of its mouth. The Chilop worm started wriggling its way to Adam's feet.

"If it weren't for the mysterious clue that was in front of my eyes, I wouldn't have known the characteristics of this Chilop Worm!" Adam muttered under his breath before raising the kitchen knife and slashing hard.

Stab!

But unfortunately, the stab of the kitchen knife was still 1 cm from the Chilop worm's body.

"Hm? I didn't hit it?" Adam started trying one more time to stab the approaching Chilop worm, but even so, his knife still missed.

It seemed that Adam's physical and mental strength was so bad that he couldn't aim at the target.

"Is it because my stats are too low that my strength and focus aren't up to par?" Adam was stunned when he saw that the stab had just now missed Chilop Worm's body. Perhaps this was what the previous mysterious voice had meant by the sentence 'humans have become sentient beings who are at the bottom of the food chain'.

Even Adam's strength and concentration weren't as good as that of a crawling bug.

The Chilop worm was already writhing at Adam's feet, and the speed at which it was grinding its teeth was accelerating. Moreover, the space in the cage is too small to hide.

[Don't use stabbing attacks, try using the slapping method.]

After seeing the hint that appeared before his eyes, Adam was stunned and said in disbelief, "Why didn't I think of this? This attribute reduction is too terrifying! Our intelligence in a starving world has dropped significantly!"

Adam changed the position of the kitchen knife and slapped Chilop's worm hard.

Bam!

The Chilop worm is not moving anymore.

Adam subconsciously wiped the sweat, of course, the slap method is the only way because a large area can increase the probability of killing.

*Hungry World: The man-eating insect you just killed is called Chilop Worm, you can classify and recycle Chilop Worm with your awareness, do you want to be recycled?*

It seemed that the hungry world would give a name to what was killed, but it was a pity that Adam already knew about it from the mysterious clues that kept appearing before his eyes.

"Yes, please recycle!"

[Spicy seed coat +1.]

[Spicy meat +1.]

A small number of items appeared before Adam's eyes.

[Spicy seed coat: good camouflage material, when used together with the hemp plant, can be used to make camouflage clothing.]

[Spicy meat: High protein, is a food that replenishes physical strength and enhances the immunity of humanoid beings, but with your current level of digestion, it cannot be absorbed.]

Compared with the hungry world, the mysterious hidden clues are much more friendly, and can also introduce the function in detail.

As time went on, no more Chilop worms entered Adam's cage.

By this time, the hungry chat was lively.

"Oh my God, my toes are gone!"

"You only have one toe missing, my heel is missing instead!"

"Why are these dead bugs just nibbling at our feet?"

"Because your feet stink!"

"Damn it, the post above just now, you want to die, huh?!"

"Hehehe, if I'm going to die, maybe you'll be the one who will die first than me!"

"Damn it, I will fight against you!"

"Hey! I've killed two Chilop worm bugs to death, who will trade bread with me to eat?"

"No fool would trade a bug for a loaf of bread!"

It seems that during this time, most people have been attacked by Chilop worms.

"Hungry!"

"I'm hungry too!"

My stomach is about to twitch, aaaaaa]

"No, I'm very hungry, I'll eat this worm... Ah, no, don't eat it..."

In the next moment, the male avatar instantly turned gray.

One person has been reduced from online chat.

It also reminds all players that these Chilop worm bugs are not to be eaten.

*Hungry World: Attention, these bugs are called Chilop worms, and they cannot be eaten!*

A warning was issued by a mysterious sound coming from the kitchen knife.

But only Adam knows the reason, Chilop worms are not because they can't be eaten, but that the player's current digestive level is not good, once their digestion ability is improved, they can enjoy it!

Suddenly, Adam's stomach also started hungrily.

View properties panel,

*Hunger: 01Lw==10.*

Seeing this, when the hunger value reached 10, people would die if they didn't swallow any food.

Adam also discovered that with the advent of hunger grades, physical strength actually decreased.

*Stamina: Early warning!*

*Hungry World: An early warning with three exclamation points will be given to players if the status reaches a severe state before death.*

It seems that this is really a hungry world, and the degree of hunger directly determines physical strength.

Physical strength that is not abundant actually appears as a warning from a Starving World.

[Just go out and eat something.]

Mysterious hidden clues are completely indifferent to warnings about a hungry world and offer positive advice to Adam.

At this time, the top information about kitchen knives flashed.

This is news from a hungry world.

*Hunger World: If you don't have good protection, then learn from other people's experiences, this is a cruel hungry world, and a little insect Chilop worm is just a preliminary test for you.*

*Now, the sky is about to dawn, and the outside world has calmed down, but there are still some creatures that haven't gotten their food at night.*

*They lurk in the forest, waiting to feast on the human flesh that comes out at dawn.*

*And you guys on the other hand have to risk your way out of the cage to find your food.*

*Today's food is hazelnut mushrooms, 100 areas in total, and each area of hazelnut mushroom varies from 10 to 20 sticks, the mushroom here is as big as a steamed bun, soft and big, and tastes good, eating hazelnut mushrooms can relieve hunger by one point*

*When you go out, please pay attention to the colorful light in the sky, when the colorful light is completely burned, the creatures will wake up from hunger.*

*During this time, keep an eye on your hunger value, some people won't last long when hunger increases, so will your stamina and brain power decrease, moreover your weak trash power level can't even fight against bugs even a bit.*

*The sooner you find the hazelnut mushroom, the better*

*After passing the novice period, the edible list is no longer announced, you need to adventure and identify yourself.*

*Good luck to you all*

Bzztt!

The sound of burning flames resounded throughout the world.

Each player's cage lights up and turns red.

At the same time, a melodious and solemn bell also sounded throughout the hungry world.

It was like unlocking some kind of mysterious ritual.

Everyone finally saw the hole in the dog cage.

"Turns out the Chilop worms got in from here!"

"Why didn't you tell before? You killed people!"

"Stop talking nonsense, go out and find the pecan mushroom!"

"Go, go, hey, how do I walk? I just lost a heel bitten by a Chilop worm in my sleep!"

Adam at this point closed the Hungry Chat that appeared above the kitchen knife as he pushed the door open and ducked out of the dog kennel.

Then he saw multi-colored lights in the sky, straight across the sky, dividing the sky in two.

One end of the multicolored light burned, lighting up the entire world red.

A forest appeared before Adam's eyes.

Hungry Chat at this time resounded again.

"I got lost here and am in unknown ruins, can anyone tell me where the hazelnut mushroom is located?"

"You are still lucky to be in the site of the ruins, I am only a wasteland here, not only can't see mushrooms, but all kinds of strange creatures are sleeping, snoring to the ground shaking. Not good, there is movement near me, I have to escape.. .."

"I don't know what's going on here, it's so foggy, I feel a lot of people staring at me from every side!"

"I'm in a mental hospital, oh my God, I'm really scared of this location!"

It turns out that the hungry world map is very large, and the environment in which everyone is located is different.

Adam tried to squint and looked at the forest in front of him.

Then a mysterious hidden clue like before appeared again.
