After climbing over the rope bridge, Scarlett felt like she had just survived a disaster. She patted her chest lightly.

Then she rolled her eyes at Bell in lingering fear.

But Bell ignored her.

“Alright, we’ve saved two days of time. Let’s continue moving forward. I hope our luck is good.”

The two of them stopped wasting time.

Scarlet walked beside Bell and sighed.

“I won’t carry out any weight-loss plans after I return. Hunger is really unbearable.”

The two of them had only chewed on some tree roots and leaves. There was not much nutrition at all, and their stamina was barely maintained.

After climbing over a 300-meter-long rope bridge, their stamina was exhausted, and they were even a little exhausted.

“Your weight loss doesn’t seem to have much effect.”

“Who said that? You haven’t seen it! My figure is…”

When Scarlett Johansson heard that her weight loss was ineffective, she wanted to retort.

However, she seemed to realize something and blushed.

The boy in front of her had really seen her figure and saw it clearly. The atmosphere instantly fell into awkwardness.

Bell seemed to sense that his words were inappropriate. He scratched his head awkwardly and changed the topic.

The two of them walked one after the other. Suddenly, Bell’s eyes lit up.

“Looks like our luck has finally improved.”

A thick layer of snow covered a large forest.

Many trees fell in the snow.

Clearly, an avalanche had happened here. Because of the large amount of snow, these trees were suppressed, and even the tree bark was directly peeled off. It was easier to find food in this situation. Many animals would have died in the avalanche. If he was lucky, he might be able to find fresh animal corpses to roast and eat.

Seeing Bell’s excitement, Scarlett was infected by him and temporarily forgot about the awkward interlude.

The two of them walked on. Bell sniffed the air from time to time.

Due to the cold air, there was a strange smell that was very obvious.

Seeing Bell like this, Scarlett couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.

“Hey, Bell, what are you doing?”

“Don’t speak. Be quiet. There seems to be the stench of corpses here.”

Bell said seriously.

The stench of corpses meant that the animals were dead, and it also meant that there was food.

Hearing that, Scarlett did not dare to continue disturbing him.

“Come with me, let’s go over and take a look.”

Bell confirmed the location of the smell and followed it.

Scarlett naturally nodded and followed. As the two of them continued forward, the stench of the corpses became clearer.

However, the audience looked at the two of them twitching their noses and did not know what they were doing.

“Everyone, I think we’re about to have food.”

“You might not know what we were doing just now. There’s a very thick stench of a corpse here, which means that an animal died nearby.”

“I’m very hungry. I don’t have much strength left. I have to replenish my nutrition as soon as possible.”

“Counting the time, we haven’t eaten for nearly two days.”

Bell said to the audience.

In fact, because of his hunger, he did not want to say anything else.

But for the sake of the audience’s interaction, he still felt that he should explain to them.

The audience also saw Bell’s condition.

The comments were sent.

“There’s no need to explain, host. Just focus on finding food and ignore us.”

They expressed understanding towards Bell.

This gave Bell some comfort.

Soon, Scarlett and Bell saw a dead antelope.

The corpse had already rotted.

Some exposed parts were filled with maggots.

Bell picked up a maggot and looked at it.

“I think we have food. These maggots contain rich proteins. If we remove their heads, they’ll taste better.”

Hearing Bell say this, the audience couldn’t help but feel a chill.

“F*ck! Eating maggots! Isn’t this too heavy a taste!”

Scarlett looked troubled.

However, the hunger in her stomach prevented her from thinking too much. She copied Bell and grabbed two from the corpse.

This fat creature made her feel uncomfortable.

However, compared to starvation, this physiological discomfort could only be suppressed temporarily.

At the thought of this, Scarlett closed her eyes and opened her mouth to eat the maggot.

But just as she was about to eat it, Bel snatched the maggot from her hand.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“If you want to eat, you can eat first. I’ll eat the remaining.”

Scarlett thought that Bell felt that there was not enough food and wanted to snatch it from her. Although she felt an inexplicable sense of loss, she remembered that Bell had saved her life before and decided to give in. She decided to leave the greater chance of survival to Bell.

Even many viewers thought so.

Some of Bell’s fans were disappointed when they saw this.

Although it was inevitable for a person to expose their selfish side in the face of death, they still felt some loss.

Survival was the greatest instinct.

However, the others would still feel displeased when one resorted to selfish means for survival.

On the other hand, Scarlett knew how to repay kindness. Under such circumstances, she was still grateful to Bell for saving her life and was willing to give up the food.

This also increased everyone’s impression of her.

However, what Bell said next overthrew their previous thoughts.

“Have you become an idiot from the cold? I meant using these maggots to fish. Do you have a special diet?”

Bell took out two and handed them to Scarlett.

“If you really want to eat them, I’ll give you these two fatter ones. At least they can replenish some nutrition.”

Bell looked pained.

These two fat insects were the ones he thought best of. Perhaps he could catch a big fish with them.

However, since the other party had such a hobby, he might as well compromise.

Everyone reacted.

“Haha, I knew that Bell wouldn’t be that kind of person.”

“The goddess is being looked down on. Bell was looking at her like he was looking at a fool. My heart aches for the goddess, but why do I feel like laughing?”

“As expected, our Bell is so cute. Even if he let others eat insects, he chose to give the two big ones.”

“Goddess, quickly eat. Don’t stand on ceremony. Don’t let down Bell’s good intentions.”

There were people joining in the fun on the screen.

After knowing what Bell was thinking, Scarlett blushed.

At the same time, she remembered her previous thoughts and turned her head away in shame, no longer looking at Bell.
