Chapter 981


    Dazaray slumped to the ground at once and looked nkly at me.


    After she calmed down, she picked up a veryrge stone from the ground and smashed it at the


    snake.


    Once was not enough, so she smashed it again. Only when the snake was smashed to pieces did


    she finally stop.


    Blood sttered everywhere. Shannon nced at the poisonous snake before quickly shifting her


    gaze away. With a gulp, she said, "It''s gettingte. Let''s continue with our journey."


    We did not encounter any more dangers for the rest of the journey, but we found a lot of wild fruits


    that we could eat. The only good thing about being deep in the forest was the gift of nature. We


    could easily find food that could temporarily sustain us.


    I noticed a lot of red fruits on top of a tree which resembled apples.


    "Are these apples?” I asked.


    Shannon looked up and shook her head. "I don’t know, but they look simr.”


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Her face was flushed from the journey, making her look even better now.


    Thaddea climbed up a tree and picked one to examine it carefully. She then said, "It''s not an apple.


    Generally, edible wild fruits grow inrge quantities on surrounding trees with other edible fruits, so


    these fruits should be edible."


    She continued after a pause, "I''ll pick them. The rest of you should gather more from the bottom so


    we can eat at night when we’re hungry."


    I nodded. "Thanks a lot."


    Perhaps it was because we had been eating a lot of things on our journey, Dazarey did not bother


    picking these wild fruits after filling her tummy and sat on a rock to pray again.


    Shannon loved eating and ate while she picked, looking extremely delighted.


    The three other girls were picking too, gathering them with their shirts and trying their best to take


    more with them.


    Thaddea kindly reminded them from on top of the tree, "Don’t let your guards down and pay


    attention to your surroundings. There''s surely more than just one poisonous snake in this deep


    forest.


    Shannon was awfully terrified of snakes. When she heard what Thaddea said, she shrieked a little


    crazily and looked vigntly around her.


    After making sure that there were no snakes around her, she finally rxed.


    After stuffing a fruit in her mouth, she said with a gentle sigh, "I''ll eat a fruit to get over this shock."


    Thaddea nced at her. She was caught betweenughter and tears. She then continued picking


    fruits and tossing them down.


    Shannon looked at Dazaray and asked speechlessly, " How did this girl survive until now?"


    "She may pray all day but she had no mercy at all when she smashed the snake with a rock just


    now."


    After hearing what she said, Thaddea chuckled and said from on top of the tree, "God wasn''t


    around when the world fell into chaos, yet the candles burned brighter than ever during prosperous


    times. I wonder i f we should be praying to God or humans."


    "What are you guys talking about?” I interrupted them. "Quickly pick the fruits and gather them. We


    still have a long journey to continue."


    God was God, while believers were humans. How could humanspare to God?


    In order to have enough food to sustain us, we took as much as we could before continuing on our


    journey.


    We encountered another snake on our journey, but fortunately, this snake was not very aggressive.


    With water and food on us during our journey, we were able to travel pretty fast.


    However, none of us knew exactly when we would be able to walk out of this deep forest.
