Jiang Yao said, "Okay, Qianqian and Guo Er, let's go collect some palm leaves!"
Lin Qianqian and Guo Er happily responded, "Great!"
After eating, with everyone working together, they quickly built a small grass hut to take shelter in.
The girls took another two hour nap.
But by evening, Shen Bing still hadn't managed to start a fire!
The young woman had stripped down to just one item of clothing, gritting her teeth and vigorously sawing the fire drill, the bit spinning rapidly with a kind of wild charm!
But there was still no smoke.
Lu Zhe watched for a while: "Why don't we try something else?"
Shen Bing gritted her teeth as she sawed, saying, "Although this looks very tiring, right now this is still the best way to start a fire..."
"Is that so?"
Lu Zhe's curiosity was suddenly piqued, and he wanted to see what the girls had thought about him at the time.
He walked some distance away, watched Shen Bing from behind for a while, wrinkled his brow:
"Clearly this isn't a skill-based task, using so much force could lead to injury, right?"
Just then, the other girls returned from collecting banana pith water and saw Lu Zhe!
In an instant, all their faces changed, and they simultaneously dropped what they were holding.
"Lu Zhe, danger!"
"Lu Zhe, run!"
Lu Zhe could already sense the heavy panting, but still he did not run!
Instead he raised his hand, slowly placing it by his mouth, making a "shush" gesture!
At the same time, his body slowly crouched down, his right foot pivoting on the ground, raising his arms slightly, lowering his head, glancing back from under his armpit!
Suddenly, a figure pounced towards Lu Zhe, and in a flash Lu Zhe dodged to the side!
It missed!
Shen Bing also sensed the danger, quickly tossing aside the bow drill in her hands. With one smooth movement she snatched out from her backpack the Type 30 bayonet!
"A huge bear!" the four girls shrieked together
Indeed!
A nearly 700-900 pound giant black bear had suddenly appeared at their campsite, then charged at Lu Zhe to attack!
Judging by its looks it seemed to be a Malayan bear, but several times larger than a normal Malayan bear!
"What the hell is this thing?!"
He dodged the first strike, and the great bear instantly realized this guy wouldn't be easy to deal with!
It turned, noticing the shrieking girls - they looked much easier to bully!
Lu Zhe shouted inwardly: "This is bad!"
It hunched down, roaring as it charged towards the girls. Shen Bing hurriedly stood guard in front of the others, bayonet in hand.
But her arms were sore and shaking after the long stint sawing wood for fire, the tip of the blade quivering unsteadily.
Yet just as the creature was about to pounce on her, it stopped!
Behind it, Lu Zhe had actually grabbed its short tail, his powerful fingers digging viciously into its flesh, penetrating down to the bone!
Then with one hand clutching the great bear's tail, his other arm hugging a tree trunk, he allocated all his remaining potential points into strength and vitality!
And he actually managed through sheer force to hold back the bear, more than twice his weight.
Initially the great bear didn't think this guy could be that strong, but after struggling twice, it found it couldn't break free. And its tail was filled with rending, agonizing pain!
If it struggled any harder its tail would snap right off!
It was a little annoyed, and swung back to bite!
Lu Zhe nimbly dodged to the side, and the great bear's jaws clamped down on the tree instead, as Lu Zhe released his grip at the same time.
Just then, inspiration struck Shen Bing and she unhesitatingly threw her Type 30 bayonet: "Catch it!"
Lu Zhe deftly grabbed the handle out of the air.
However, at this critical juncture, the great bear pounced on Lu Zhe, pinning him beneath it, snapping towards his neck!
The five girls all screamed!
Shen Bing was the first to rush over, the sense of duty and mission she carried making it impossible for her to accept any innocent dying before her eyes!
And this was the first man in her life!
The other girls, no longer heeding their terror, grabbed whatever was on hand and charged forth, furiously striking the great bear's body in hopes of drawing its attention to rescue their companion!
Yet it didn't happen!
After the great bear thrashed and convulsed violently, its vigor gradually faded until no matter how hard the girls struck it, the creature remained motionless!
Then Ning Shu noticed a steady stream of dark blood gushing out, already pooling more than a foot around it in just seconds.
"Lu Zhe..." Ning Shu cried out in anguish.
"What is it?" came Lu Zhe's muffled voice from beneath the bear!
This voice made everyone weep with joy!
The next second, Lu Zhe gave the bear a kick to flip it over. Covered head to toe in blood, he stood up. Peering at the great bear's chest, they saw the nearly 12 inch blade of the bayonet stabbed completely in!
Heedless of dirtying herself, Ning Shu threw herself at the bloody Lu Zhe, bursting into loud sobs!
Lin Qianqian, Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo also rushed over, weeping as they embraced Lu Zhe!
Shen Bing heaved a long sigh of relief, collapsing limply to the ground!
That was far too dangerous just now. In that split second gap, Lu Zhe had accurately stabbed the bayonet into the great bear's heart. Any slower, and the consequences were too horrible to contemplate.
With over seven times the strength of normal people, as well as reflexes and reactions far exceeding normal people!
Plus he just happened to have a military dagger in hand!
All these factors together allowed him to kill the great bear.
If it had been an ordinary knife, forget about whether he could've stabbed through all that thick blubber, the hide itself probably would've shattered the blade.
Lin Qianqian suddenly noticed Lu Zhe's arm: "Oh my god, Lu Zhe, you're hurt!"
Lu Zhe lifted his right arm to see two bloody holes!
These were from blocking the bear's bite earlier when he was pounced on.
That bite was terrifically powerful, enough that an ordinary person's entire arm would be crushed.
Biting into Lu Zhe's arm was like chomping into steel bars, barely enduring.
Even so it drew blood.
"What do we do?!" Ning Shu exclaimed anxiously.
Lu Zhe felt the pain, and a message sounded in his mind: "Ding! Host injury detected, self protection mechanisms initiated!
Duration: 60 mins
During which:
Pain immunity +100!
Anti-bacterial ability +100!
Anti-infection ability +100!
Blood regeneration ability + unlimited!
Permanent reward: advanced suturing!"
In a flash, over half the pain faded.
It just felt like a pinprick, leaving only a scalding soreness.
So the system does have its uses!
How to handle this next?
"Ding! New mission: treat wounds according to the following four steps:
1. Drain contaminated blood from injury as much as possible to prevent bacterial infection!
2. Clean wound with sterile water!
3. Suture wound!
4. Dress wound with medicine!
Mission reward: +8 potential points!"
Bit difficult, but don't panic!
Lu Zhe squeezed forcefully and fresh blood kept spurting out!
Jiang Yao said worriedly: "Hey, you're squeezing too much!"
"It's fine!"
Seeing so much blood being squeezed out, Lu Zhe didn't care one whit, continuing until an alert sounded by his ear: Task one complete, +1 potential point! He unhesitatingly put it into vitality!
Next, sterile water was needed for washing.
They did have a few bottles of coconut water, but Lu Zhe knew: coconut water freshly extracted from the nut was sterile, but after sitting bottled for sixteen, seventeen hours it was no longer sterile.
Currently, the only thing that could serve as sterile water was bodily fluid!
The situation was urgent, leaving no time for extra thought. He directly turned and undid his belt!
Damn it, nothing was coming out!
"Anyone got urine, hurry up!"
Shen Bing said nervously: "Um... Lu Zhe, does it have to be that? Can't we use the coconut water?"
"After sloshing around in those bottles half the day, it definitely isn't sterile anymore!"
The girls all exchanged glances!
Jiang Yao hesitated, then stood up: "Little Zhe, if you don't mind me..."
"Don't say any more, hurry!"
"Oh..." Jiang Yao hurried over, shyly lifting her skirt.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
