Chapter 1030
Ate it raw?
This thing?
Ye Yuwei looked down at the bloody snake kebab and shuddered .
Gu Juexi was indifferent though . In order to survive and to avoid other squads discovering their location, they had to eat without a campfire and the only way to do that was by eating the food raw .
Gu Juexi fanned the fire . He tried to swing his right hand and realized he could move the hand slightly now .
Gu Juexi stacked some branches to hold the snake over the fire and smoked it for a while . The snake head that he had chopped off earlier was set aside . He shaved one end of the tree branches into a sharp tip and dipped it in the snake venom, producing a dozen tiny poisoned arrows .
Ye Yuwei was mesmerized as she watched him . He had left the army for about sixteen years now, but his skills were as proficient as ever . He might have forgotten how many contracts he signed, but his survival skills had never left him .
"Why didn't you accept the captain's offer?" Ye Yuwei cupped her chin and asked as she watched Gu Juexi making a small slingshot .
Gu Juexi paused midway, army knife in hand . Eventually, he continued shaving the branches . "Give me your hairband . "
Ye Yuwei reached back and pulled the hairband off her ponytail, then passed it to Gu Juexi .
Gu Juexi tested the elastic strength of the band before putting it aside and continued shaving the stick . "It all turned out well . The future is reserved for the youngsters . Now, my priority has shifted . Besides the country, I have a very important person to protect . "

Ye Yuwei chuckled gleefully as she heard his statement .
"What's so funny? I mean my little princess, why are you laughing?" Gu Juexi interrupted .
A dark cloud instantly spread over Ye Yuwei's face . This man was such a jerk .
Gu Juexi finished his slingshot . Although he was not entirely satisfied with the result, as long as it could function decently, it was fine .
Gu Juexi tested the snake to make sure it was cooked thoroughly then passed it to Ye Yuwei . "Hurry up and eat . This fellow nearly attacked you this morning, in a real survival game . Truth be told, it has died . "

Ye Yuwei broke out in a cold sweat at his statement, despite how monotonous his tone was . She felt that she had passed through Hell's gate before even realizing it .
Frightfully, Ye Yuwei sat closer to Gu Juexi which made him laugh . "Let's eat, we have to hit the road soon . I saw some fruits over there, we'll pick some on our way . "
They didn't carry any water as they didn't have bottles, obviously . They could only rely on wild fruits to replenish themselves .
Ye Yuwei took the snake from Gu Juexi . She felt disgusted and squeamish but she had to eat it . "Did you guys really eat everything raw?"
"Yes . Snakes, mice, we ate everything we hunted . Have you ever drank blood?" Gu Juexi said with a smile as he looked at Ye Yuwei who was becoming increasingly pale . "Let's see if I can hunt something big, I'll let you taste some . "

"What?!" Ye Yuwei shrieked in horror .
Gu Juexi laughed delightfully at her reaction . He strapped the makeshift weapons to his waist, got up and scanned the area, then looked at the direction of the sun to decide which way they should go .
Frankly, the pheasant was tastier than the snake, but beggars couldn't be choosers .
However, sharing this kind of bizarre experience with Gu Juexi wasn't so bad after all .
At the very least, she felt like she was one step closer to him .
Enduring the horrid taste, Ye Yuwei finished the roasted snake and grimaced . Gu Juexi buried the fire pit again, along with the snakeskin and innards .
"Why do you bury them?" Ye Yuwei asked curiously . He had done the same thing by the beach yesterday .
