National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

In the dense forest, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting patches of light on Shen Nan's face.

After more than an hour's trek, his forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat. Shen Nan raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's been so long, why isn't there a single bug? Are they hiding and sleeping during the day?" Shen Nan muttered in a low voice.

More than an hour had passed since the system announcement, and they had also been searching in the forest for more than an hour, but found nothing, not even the shadow of an insect.

It's not that there were no discoveries. During this period, we encountered a huge creature.

However, due to the huge difference in strength, even if he used the "Insight" skill to check, he could only get the name of the creature, and all other information was displayed as a series of question marks.

These large creatures usually only prey on creatures of similar size to themselves, and would not even pay attention to a tiny creature like him who is not even as big as an ant.

Even if they caught a glimpse of him, they would ignore him because his size was insignificant to them, and might not even be enough to fill their teeth.

One simple breath was enough to blow him away.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, he did not need to worry too much about the threat posed by these large creatures.

His main attention should now be on the danger posed by insects or birds.

At this moment, the little fur ball beside him twitched its nose slightly in the air, as if catching some subtle smell.

Suddenly, the little ball of fur's ears stood up, as if it had discovered something, and then it ran in one direction without hesitation.

Seeing this, Shen Nan immediately became alert and shouted, "Little fur ball, where are you going? Don't run around!"

He knew that Little Furball had an excellent sense of smell, but there were countless dangers lurking in this forest, and he was worried that Little Furball would encounter an accident.

"Fanfan, let's follow."

Realizing that the little ball of fur might have discovered something, he immediately ordered Fanfan to speed up and follow the little ball of fur closely.

The chirping of birds and insects in the forest seemed to have stopped at this moment, with only the hurried footsteps of the little fur ball and the rustling sound of vines rubbing against the ground echoing in the air.

They made their way through a patch of low bushes until they came to a plant laden with fruit.

Shen Nan stared at the pink fruits on the bush and felt that they looked familiar. They looked exactly like the sweet fruit that Uncle Ren gave him last night.

"Could this be... sweet fruit?"

Just as Shen Nan was about to use the "Insight" skill to check the information of these fruits, the little ball of fur had already taken the lead, quickly picked a fruit, and then took a big bite of it impatiently.

Shen Nan hurriedly stopped him: "Little furball, wait a moment, let me see first..."

However, his warning came too late, as the little fur ball had already taken a big bite of the pink fruit.

Hearing Shen Nan's call, the little fur ball raised its little head, still chewing the fruit pulp in its mouth, with a hint of doubt in its eyes, as if silently asking Shen Nan: What's wrong? Is there any problem?

The little fur ball behaved innocently and curiously, as if it didn't understand why Shen Nan suddenly stopped it.

Seeing this, Shen Nan could only look at the little fur ball helplessly and said, "Forget it, just eat it..."

Ignoring the little ball of fur, Shen Nan used the "Insight" skill on the pink fruit.

[Special Fruit of Misty Forest: Sweet Fruit

The flesh is sweet, juicy, non-toxic and safe to eat. The flesh of the sweet fruit has a sweet aroma, which attracts various insects and birds.

After confirming that the fruit growing on this bush was indeed sweet fruit, he couldn't help but sigh that the little fur ball had a very sensitive sense of smell. He had just eaten it last night, but now he could still smell the aroma of the sweet fruit from such a distance.

The bush was loaded with at least a hundred sweet fruits, and on the ground inside the bush there were many rotten fruits that had been eaten by unknown creatures.

Shen Nan recalled the tip just now. Places with sweet fruits often attract various insects and birds.

In order to prevent these fruits from being enjoyed by other creatures, he decided to hurry up and pick all these sweet fruits.

He immediately ordered: "Fanfan, help me pick all these sweet fruits."

But then he thought about it again and added, "Leave one and don't pick it."

Since the aroma of sweet fruit can attract insects, Shen Nan thought, why not leave a fruit as bait, which would solve his problem of having difficulty finding insects during the day.

Considering his current size, insects are the best targets for him to complete the task, and the sweet fruit is undoubtedly an excellent tool to attract them.

Fanfan: OK, I understand.

Under Shen Nan's instructions, the lush vines quickly moved and handed the picked fruits to Shen Nan one by one.

In less than a minute, Shen Nan easily stored all the sweet fruits on the bushes into his backpack, leaving only one lonely sweet fruit hanging on the branch.

When the little fur ball finished eating the sweet fruit in his hand and was about to continue picking, he found that the bush that was originally full of fruits had become bare, with only one pink fruit hanging alone on the branches. The whole fox was stunned.

The little ball of fur's bean-sized eyes moved back and forth between Shen Nan and the bushes, as if asking: Where did its sweet fruit go?

Just as the little fur ball was about to jump up and pick the last sweet fruit, Shen Nan quickly stopped it, gently held the little fur ball in his arms, and said softly: "I will keep this one to attract those insects. If you want to eat it, wait until we return to the shelter."

The little fur ball made an unhappy "whimpering" sound, as if protesting Shen Nan's decision.

Shen Nan looked at its raised front paw and couldn't help laughing. He consoled it, "Okay, then eat another one, and eat the rest after dinner."

As Shen Nan spoke, he took out a sweet fruit from his space backpack and handed it to the little fur ball.

As soon as the little fur ball saw the new sweet fruit, it immediately stopped protesting and calmed down.

It took the fruit, held it tightly, and kept sniffing it with its nose, as if it wanted to taste the sweet fruit immediately, but was reluctant to eat it so soon. Shen Nan found this contradictory little action very interesting, and he couldn't help but smile.

Then he said gently, "Eat it. There's no need to be so frugal. We still have a lot of sweet fruits. When we get back to the shelter, you can eat as much as you want."

These sweet fruits were originally discovered by Little Maoqiu. If it weren't for Little Maoqiu, they would never have encountered this cluster of sweet fruits if they had followed the original route.

Hearing Shen Nan's generous promise, the little fur ball's eyes opened wide in surprise, and he shook his head excitedly, making a series of cheerful "嘤嘤嘤" sounds.

He seemed very happy about Shen Nan's generosity.

Little fur ball: Since you are so generous, I will mercifully let you suck my furry belly when you go to bed tonight!
