Although the environment was very humid, there were still some dry weeds.
Kanzaki Teru selected some firewood and then put it together.
"But this is really quite a hassle..."
Even if you have the firewood, it's useless without a flame.
So Kanzaki Teru chose a relatively sharp branch and then sharpened the sharp part of the branch to make it even sharper.
Then they collected some soft but resilient vines and tied the two together.
I made a simple tool for starting a fire with bricks and wood, and the rest of the time was a boring but painful process.
Kanzaki Teru kept pulling on the vine, making the sharp branch spin rapidly.
Even so, the pressure left red marks on my palms, which was quite painful.

Although it's not completely dark yet, taking action at night is definitely not a wise move.
After all, the dangers of nighttime operations are incomparable to those of daytime operations, even though the human eye only needs about half an hour to adapt to the darkness.
However, during the initial period of adjustment, people can easily lose their way and become blind to many dangers.
Moreover, traveling day and night would take a much heavier toll on a person's mental well-being.
........ ......... .......
Many people are often too eager for quick success, thus neglecting important issues and ultimately failing at the last hurdle.
Moreover, escaping this primeval jungle is by no means an easy task; once one step is wrong, it could lead to a series of mistakes.
Therefore, we must not rush things.
While pondering this question, Kanzaki Teru kept rubbing the vines together, and even increased the speed.
"Whoosh—whoosh—4278—"
Gently blowing on it, Kanzaki Teru treated the matter with extreme care.
After all, if we fail, we might have to eat raw food tonight.
Although most meat can be eaten raw, the consequences of eating it raw are not something everyone can accept.
Especially in the wild, meat can harbor a lot of bacteria, and you can easily get diarrhea if you're not careful.
This results in the loss of more moisture and nutrients, so it's best to cook food thoroughly before eating.
Of course, there's no pot or pan in the wild, so they just grill the food and eat it.
Chapter 456: Enjoying
There wasn't even a single seasoning, but under these circumstances, Kanzaki Teru couldn't ask for anything more.
Moreover, the water content of meat can actually be around 70%, although the weight will drop sharply after the meat is fully cooked.
However, it is indeed possible to replenish some fluids, but this is only a temporary solution.
Kanzaki Teru didn't intend to eat the whole rabbit at once.
"finally......"
After about ten minutes of struggle, Kanzaki Teru finally saw a glimmer of hope.
So he hurriedly placed the dry weeds on the ball of light that seemed like it might go out at any moment, and kept blowing on it gently.
Finally, through tireless efforts, a warm flame gradually appeared in Kanzaki Teru's palm.
"Aha--"
With a sigh of relief, Kanzaki Teru finally finished what he had prepared to do.
Then they used brute force to peel off the fur of the rabbit that had already been bled dry, and then used a branch to dig out its internal organs.
After completing all these tasks, there wasn't much meat left.
Even so, Kanzaki Teru still didn't intend to eat the whole rabbit at once.
Although it's unclear how long it will take to leave this place, it's better to eat slowly if we consider the future.
After all, Kanzaki Teru had already engaged in such physical exertion after breaking his ribs, and what he needs most right now is nutrition.
However, eating too quickly after a long period of fasting can put a strain on the stomach and intestines, eventually causing the food to be vomited up.
So Kanzaki Teru divided the already small rabbit into four pieces and then roasted them one by one over the fire.
Watching the sizzling sound of the roasted rabbit leg, Kanzaki Teru couldn't help but swallow hard.
However, he wasn't impulsive enough to eat meat that wasn't fully cooked.
"Think of something else to distract yourself..."
After all, if they kept staring, they might not be able to resist anymore.
So Kanzaki Teru first tore open the entire piece of fabric on his leg, revealing the dislocated joint to his eyes.
Because he hadn't showered for a long time, Kanzaki Teru was sticky all over, making it difficult to even take off his clothes normally.
However, in order to prevent infection of the wound, Kanzaki Teru chose this method.
Although brute force was used to put the dislocated bone back in place, it was clear that this method could only solve the immediate problem.
Throughout the journey, Kanzaki Teru felt a persistent, dull ache in his right leg.
Although it wasn't as painful as a broken rib, it was definitely to the point that it affected movement.
And when Kanzaki Teru tore open his clothes, revealing the parts of his body that were in pain to his eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That's really terrible. I'm so glad I could hold back."
The area around the right leg and the groin has turned completely purple, with bruising accumulating there.
The reason I'm not feeling pain right now is because this blood clot is obstructing my senses, but that's definitely not a good thing.
If such a large area of bruising is not treated in time, it can lead to more serious consequences.
Ultimately, he developed a systemic infection, fever, and eventually died...
Although Kanzaki Teru has the ability and means to handle things, a misstep in such a place could backfire.
Moreover, he still needs this bruise, because it is precisely because of its obstruction that Kanzaki Teru's right leg is able to move.
If these blood clots are removed, it will be even more difficult for Kanzaki Teru to perform this action.
"Never mind, let's talk about it later."
Even if he wanted to deal with it, there were no tools available here.
If not handled properly, it could cause even more serious trauma, and in such an environment, it might even lead to a direct infection and breakage.
If someone falls from a 100-meter-high cliff and survives, but ends up dying by their own hand, that would be truly hilarious.
"Never mind, let's eat first."
Putting that matter out of his mind for the time being, Kanzaki Teru picked up a rabbit leg that looked perfectly roasted.
The surface of this rabbit leg is slightly charred, but it's precisely this char that makes 5.1 even more tempting.
When I put it in my mouth, it didn't taste as good as I had imagined.
Although the flesh itself is very firm, it even has a faint fruity aroma.
This must be the unique flavor of wild game from the forest, but unfortunately there are no seasonings here.
Even the most delicious meat tastes ordinary without the aid of spices.
However, it could also be because he had been hungry for a long time; even though he didn't think it tasted that good, Kanzaki Teru's hands still couldn't stop eating.
Chapter 457: The Wolf Pack
Although he wanted to eat slowly, instinct prevented Kanzaki Hiroki from doing so.
"Phew—I'm still not full, but this is about right."
After swallowing the last piece of meat, Kanzaki Teru, still somewhat unsatisfied, tossed aside the bone, which was now completely devoid of meat.
Although they ate very quickly, they seemed to be fine.
After all, Kanzaki Hiroshi's physical condition is very good, and he usually pays great attention to his health. His body can recover on its own after one or two such problems.
Looking at the roaring fire, Kanzaki Teru yawned lazily.
After all, the long journey had left him quite tired, and having just eaten, he felt even more sleepy.
It made Kanzaki Teru feel a little drowsy.
"That's enough for today. Let's keep trying tomorrow morning."
Feeling the warmth of the fire, Kanzaki Teru slowly closed his eyes.
The night here on the 23rd was much noisier than I had imagined. I thought that getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city would allow me to get a better night's sleep.
But in reality, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest never stopped; they kept chirping and chattering in my ears.
However, Kanzaki Teru doesn't dislike this kind of thing now. In this environment, he feels a sense of integration with nature.
If this had happened during a picnic, instead of a disaster, that would have been better.
"Um--!?"
Although there were many leaves on the ground, it was still a bit cold. The temperature that seeped in from deep underground made it difficult for Kanzaki Teru to sleep soundly.
The sound of mosquitoes buzzing in his ears only added to Kanzaki Teru's irritation.
Although a fire was lit, there was no sign of driving away the insects.
On the contrary, the phototaxis of these insects led to more of them, but Kanzaki Teru endured it for the sake of this moment of warmth.
However, this light brought more than just these tiny insects—
"A tremor? Could it be... that it's finally happening?!"
Because he was lying on the ground, Kanzaki Teru was more able to perceive the movements around him.
Sensing the tremor, Kanzaki Teru opened his eyes at her signal, only then realizing that the atmosphere around him was somewhat strange.
