Chapter 10: God-given food

　　 The heavy rain on the fourth day was slightly smaller than that on the third day, but the rain was still intense.
　　 Soybean-sized raindrops will feel a slight pain even if they hit human skin. Facing such rain, Sistrom felt his body was constantly hammered by his fists.
　　 Only half of his body was protruded through the cracks in the dead leaves, and he was almost washed away by the violent rain, but fortunately, the barbs on his feet were fairly reliable.
　　 Sisterm's left body was washed away by the rain, but the barb on his right leg firmly grasped the wet bark, and then turned to the bottom of the branch at an incredible angle.
　　 There is no danger!
　　 If his feet hadn’t caught the bark just now, he would definitely fall into the lake where the rain collected.
　　 The impact of the rain that Sisterm hangs upside down under the branches is much smaller. Although the rain from the top of the branches will pass through his body, it is enough to make Sisterm move slowly on the back of the branches.
　　 Systrom’s derivative ability [information entry] passively records a lot of information, and he can recall all kinds of experiences in this world like watching a video.
　　 In the video of Systrom, walking along this branch, there are a few newly grown pine needles near the end of the branch, which can be eaten even when hiding under the branch.
　　Sistem didn't know if his cheeks could bite the hard pine needles, but he had no other choice.
　　 If he couldn't eat this kind of young pine needles, he could only choose to jump into the lake where the water converged, and seek that vitality in his nine lives.

　　 Under the violent rain, Systrom finally ate the fresh and tender pine needles, and his chewing teeth were just enough to crush the tender leaves of this plant.
　　 The taste of this pine needle is slightly sweet and bitter. It has a certain growth effect on his body, but it also has a certain degree of toxicity.
　　 The uncomfortable breath of this tree may be because of this toxicity.
　　 The toxicity of the pine needles slowed Systrom's body functions, as if he was drunk, and a slight pain came from his abdomen.
　　 However, the toxicity of this pine needle is not strong, and it is far inferior to the trouble caused by hunger. After experiencing the toxicity for a while, Systrom began to swallow the young pine needle leaves.
　　 In the face of life and death crisis, let alone nutrient-rich meat, even this kind of toxic food he feels satisfied.
　　 Because of the impact of rain, Systrom's eating is very inconvenient. It has been several hours after eating more than a dozen fresh pine needles.
　　The remaining relatively mature pine needles could not do anything with Sisterm's claws, and Sisterm began to return to his dead leaf den.
　　 As if God blessed him, the rain fell a little when Sisterm returned to the nest, and he was able to withstand the impact of the rain and climb back to the front of the branches, and then hid in the dead leaf nest.
　　 Soon after Sisterm hid in the dead leaves, the rain became heavy again.
　　 Since then, the rain has become stronger and weaker, and the sky has the roar of thunder and lightning from time to time, somewhat similar to thunderstorms, but even if the rain is small, it has not stopped completely.
　　 Until the night of the fifth day, the rain that had been violent the moment before suddenly stopped, the dark clouds in the dark night sky quickly dissipated, and Systrom saw the moonlight penetrating the gap between the dead leaves.
　　 The rain finally stopped. There was no slight breeze in the entire forest. Except for the ticking sound of the leaves dripping onto the water surface, there was no other sound in the entire forest.
　　Sistem was finally able to crawl out of his dead leaf lair again...
　　 Along with the continuous dripping of water on the leaves and the double moon starlight in the sky, the water surface under the trees appears sparkling.
　　 The rainfall in these two days caused the water level to rise further, and the rainwater gathered in the forest was only about half a meter away from the branch where Sisterm was located.
　　 The rainwater in the forest has accumulated nearly one meter deep. Apart from the trees, only some tall herbaceous plants are left standing above the water.
　　Perhaps as long as the rain continues for a few more days, his branches will also be flooded, but before being submerged, he will die of hunger and cold first.
　　 Five consecutive days of rain made the temperature in the forest drop continuously, and the temperature became even lower after the heavy rain stopped.
　　 With physical stiffness and lack of energy, Systrom used the hooks on his feet to crawl slowly on the wet branches.
　　 Fortunately, as a grasshopper, he has many kinds of food. Even with poisonous pine needles, he can replenish his energy. If he is reborn as a carnivorous mantis, he may starve to death in this heavy rain.

　　 The rain in the forest subsided very slowly. In the early morning, the rain only subsided by about ten centimeters. It is estimated that it will take a few days for the rain in the vicinity to completely subside.
　　 After eating all night, Systrom's physical strength has recovered a lot.
　　 I feel dizzy just because of the toxicity of the pine needles, and I feel a little tingling in my abdomen.
　　 Overnight, the stagnant water on the leaves in the forest no longer dripped, the wet bark became only a little damp, and Sisterm, who had recovered his physical strength, began to jump and move.
　　 The early morning after the heavy rain became very quiet, except for the occasional croaking of frogs in the distance, Sisterm did not see any active life.
　　 But as the sky brightened, Sisterm found many signs of life, and ripples on the calm water surface.
　　Sistem saw a lot of black shadows appearing underwater, some resembling tadpoles, but also many gray and white things slightly smaller than the black shadows, which may be larvae of certain insects or other aquatic creatures. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Sisterm hopped back and forth on the branches in the forest. He found that because the topography of the forest is different, although they are all submerged, the water level in some places is very shallow, maybe some of them are high in this vast forest. The location was not flooded by rain.
　　 After recovering his strength, Sisterm found a vine plant surrounding the tree and jumped over.
　　 Compared with the leaves on the trees, Systrom's body obviously prefers grass plants. Although vines are a little worse than grasses, they are still stronger than leaves.
　　 The taste of this vine is very delicious, the leaves are soft with a faint peach aroma, and Sisterm swallows it.
In the process of Sisterm's devouring, Sisterm found that there were subtle ripples on the surface of the water under him. A 5cm-sized green-brown insect with six legs crawled along the vine from the water. Come up.
　　 The insect's abdomen is long and slender, and its six strong legs are concentrated on its front half, covered with a translucent carapace.
　　 After crawling along the vine for ten centimeters, it hugged the vine's branches and stems motionless, seeming to enter a dormant state unique to insects.
　　Although Sisterm did not find chelate teeth in the insect's mouth, the insect was strong and covered with a carapace. Sisterm had no thoughts of fighting with the other party, and still quietly ate the leaves of the vine.
　　 That's it. After ten minutes, Systrom suddenly heard a strange sound. The brown insect made a sound similar to a carapace cracking. It seemed that something had come out of the body of the brown insect.
　　 "Insects that are declining!"
　　Sistem's insect head showed a greedy look. This molting insect was the food that God gave him!
