Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 1047: Chapter 494: Fruit Ninja_2

The golden sun hung in the azure sky, radiating scorching heat, making everyone feel as though they were in a roasting oven, drenched in sweat after just half an hour.

Zhang Hao unzipped her leather jacket, exposing her fair belly and underwear. If it weren’t for the fear of sunburn, she would have taken off her clothes altogether.

"Cough cough, it’s so hot!"

Gu Qingqiu looked up, shading her eyes with her hand as she gazed into the distance.

Stretching out before them was an endless desert, seeming like a vast ocean.

"If we were on the ground, we could set up tents to rest and travel by night, but this staircase is too narrow, it won’t work!"

The big auntie wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, her clothes already soaked through and clinging to her body.

When everyone entered, they were wearing winter clothes, and now they were really suffering.

"Qingqiu, Small Fish, take these."

Lin Baici took out five umbrellas and distributed them among the group. He didn’t use one for himself.

Males, after all,

Don’t mind getting a bit tanner.

"It’s good that we’re with Lin Baici; otherwise, even food and drink would be a problem!"

Zhang Hao marveled.

"Yep!"

The big auntie rejoiced.

According to the normal evaluation process, after every town, everyone would have the opportunity to go out and rest; hence the candidates had no supplies, and the examiners only had food and water for one day.

For the Fourth Town Heavenly Ladder Sky Tower, it was far from enough.

"Have you noticed? That kid has two space forbidden items!"

Zhang Hao envied.

Lin Baici possessed a Reindeer Sleigh that could not only carry people but also had two packs on its back for storing items. Moreover, he had a Monk’s Black Tripod Bowl.

It seemed to have quite a large inner space.

"Compared to him, I feel like I’ve been living like a dog for the past decade!"

The big auntie chuckled wryly, "And we don’t need to be so sparing with the water, do we?"

In her view, Lin Baici was very generous and certainly wouldn’t be stingy with some supplies.

"Drink up!"

Zhang Hao pursed her lips. "If only a man would give me a Grace of Instant Movement, I wouldn’t need him to lift a finger. I would wear a dog collar myself and kneel to call him master!"

Zhang Hao recalled Xia Hongyao’s battle just now, feeling as sour as if she had just eaten ten pounds of lemons, and it was apparent to her that High Ponytail and Lin Baici certainly hadn’t been in any intimate contact.

Thirsty, Yang Zhi took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank a third of it. As he unscrewed the cap and was about to take a sip, he was hit with a putrid stench as soon as the bottle touched his lips.

"Ugh!"

Yang Zhi was nearly sick.

What was going on?

Yang Zhi frowned as he moved the water away and inspected it closely.

It was crystal clear and appeared fine, but as he brought it to his face again...

The stench was overpowering!

He hurriedly took out the remaining unopened bottle from his backpack and unscrewed the lid.

This one had no smell,

Yang Zhi took a sip, but it tasted like water from a stagnant pond that had decayed animal corpses in it.

Patooey, patooey!

Yang Zhi spat the water out, feeling so nauseous that his stomach began to cramp.

He was, after all, a God Hunter, and he instantly realized that there was a serious problem.

"Chapter Leader Zhang, God Lin, the water I brought has gone foul. Check yours quickly, I think this is caused by rule contamination!"

Yang Zhi’s anxious voice came from below.

The big auntie and Zhang Hao, upon hearing this, quickly took out bottled water from their backpacks.

All were unopened; after twisting off the caps, there was no smell, but once they took a sip...

Blorgh!

"Damn it, what the hell is this?"

The big auntie spit out more than a dozen mouthfuls. "I’d rather drink a man’s footbath water than taste this again!"

It wasn’t just foul; it was sour and had other indescribable odd tastes.

"Xiao Bai, we’re in trouble!"

Zhang Hao shouted. "Is the water source in your Spatial Divine Taboo Object still drinkable?"

"Wait, let me try!"

Lin Baici had two bottles of water in his backpack; he tried them, and they stank. Then he took out two bottles from the Black Tripod Bowl, but they still had a problem.

"It’s foul!"

As soon as Lin Baici finished his shout, everyone became anxious.

"How are we supposed to climb the tower without water?"

Fang Mingyuan worried.

"I guess the food has gone bad too, right?"

Ai Xuyue shouted out.

"Now I get why my lollipop tasted foul. It’s the rule contamination!"

Long Miaomiao had a moment of realization.

"Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Yang Zhi complained. "If we had detected the anomaly earlier, we could have waited below. What do we do now?"

We’ve already been climbing for over an hour.

"We have to descend the tower, we can’t go on without something to eat or drink!"

Ai Xuri suggested.

"Let’s go, let’s go, down the tower!"

Yang Zhi urged.

"Xiao Bai, what do you say we should do?"

Zhang Hao called out, she wanted to hear Lin Baici’s opinion. As for herself, she wanted to continue; she believed climbing higher might yield a solution.

"Keep going!"

Lin Baici yelled, her tone resolute.

"What about something to drink?"

Ai Xuri shouted, "We can endure hunger, but without water in this scorching heat, we’ll be dehydrated and suffer heat stroke in half a day!"

"You can go down!"

Lin Baici saw Xia Hongyao stop and waved her hand, indicating for her to continue climbing the tower.

"Qingqiu, are you okay?"

High Ponytail was concerned about Gu Qingqiu’s health.

"Don’t worry, I won’t die!"

Gu Qingqiu looked upwards, but regretfully couldn’t see anything: "What do you think, will food and drink just jump out in front of us later?"

"To reach the tower’s top in this round, the fastest time previously was three days; surely we won’t resort to cannibalism to survive!"

Xia Hongyao guessed, "Or perhaps we should have searched those sandy areas before climbing the tower, to bring some food with us?"

[Climbing the Heavenly Ladder tests willpower.]

[Each day, ’food’ will be randomly airdropped, miss it and you go hungry!]

[Fortunately, you brought enough backup food this time, it’s recommended to save the fattest one for last!]

The fattest one?

Is it referring to Long Miaomiao?

Lin Baici felt relieved to hear about the food airdrops.

The team continued forward, but the pressure suddenly increased a lot due to the lack of food and water, everyone was anxious.

The weather was brutally hot, and after three hours in the sun, everyone’s throats were parched.

"This won’t do, we need to find a way, or we’ll die!"

Yang Zhi bellowed.

"Collect the urine!"

The Aunty shouted a reminder, "The stuff you pee out shouldn’t stink like water!"

"I’m so thirsty I could piss blood!"

Ai Xuri grumbled under his breath, thinking this woman was so foolish, without water, how could there be any urine?

"Brother Lin, shall we go down?"

Ai Xuyue also lost courage.

Lin Baici didn’t answer, she immediately poked Fang Mingyuan in front of her: "Hey, you talk to him!"

"Old White, do you have any plan?"

Fang Mingyuan licked his lips, his throat hurt from shouting.

"No plan!"

Lin Baici’s reply made everyone’s hearts sink.

"I originally thought that Lin Baici had enough supplies for this round, and it was going to be a sure thing, I didn’t expect this!"

Zhang Hao sighed, but she wouldn’t shrink back, intending to go on for at least a day. If things remained the same, then they would stop and wait for the others to catch up.

"Brother Lin, can we stop and rest for a while?"

Ai Xiyue shouted, "I’m so tired!"

"Rest for a quarter of an hour!"

Nobody wanted to climb anymore and on hearing this, immediately sat down on the steps.

There was a wind at high altitude, but it was hot, sticky, and seemed as if it were trying to dry people out.

So uncomfortable!

Lin Baici leaned on her knees with one hand and looked up at the sky.

When is the airdrop coming?

And how to get it?

Lin Baici pondered all the possibilities, when suddenly Eater God yelled out.

[They’re here! They’re coming!]

Lin Baici’s spirits lifted, what’s coming?

The airdrop?

"Red Medicine, Qingqiu, be on guard!"

Lin Baici activated Passing Ears Recitation and, sure enough, faint but rapidly approaching sounds were heard.

About ten seconds later, a watermelon with four small thin legs sprinted down the steps like a mad dog.

"What the hell?"

Xia Hongyao was startled and hastily drew her sword to strike.

Swoosh!

The watermelon’s legs pushed off with force, leaping over Xia Hongyao’s head and pounced towards Gu Qingqiu.

"..."

Gu Qingqiu clanked as she drew Red Demon, ready to slash at the melon monster, when it suddenly exploded with a bang.

The green rind burst open, red flesh splattering everywhere due to the impact, juice flying all over.

Gu Qingqiu was hit in the face by the flesh, and then a mango scurried over like a mouse, slamming into her lower leg.

Bang!

Ah!

Gu Qingqiu screamed as she staggered from the blow and fell down the steps.

"Watch out, a bunch of fruit monsters are charging down!"

Xia Hongyao yelled, instantly heightening the sense of tension and panic.
