Dazaray slumped to the ground at once and looked blankly at me.
After she calmed down, she picked up a very large stone from the ground and smashed it at the snake.
Once was not enough, so she smashed it again. Only when the snake was smashed to pieces did she finally stop.
Blood splattered everywhere. Shannon glanced at the poisonous snake before quickly shifting her gaze away.
With a gulp, she said, "It's getting late. Let's continue with our journey."
We did not encounter any more dangers for the rest of the journey, but we found a lot of wild fruits that we could
eat. The only good thing about being deep in the forest was the gift of nature. We could easily find food that
could temporarily sustain us.
| noticed a lot of red fruits on top of a tree which resembled apples.

Shannon looked up and shook her head. "I don’t know, but they look similar.”
Her face was flushed from the journey, making her look even better now.
Thaddea climbed up a tree and picked one to examine it carefully. She then said, "It's not an apple. Generally,
edible wild fruits grow in large quantities on surrounding trees with other edible fruits, so these fruits should be
edible."
She continued after a pause, "I'll pick them. The rest of you should gather more from the bottom so we can eat
at night when we're hungry."
I nodded. "Thanks a lot."
Perhaps it was because we had been eating a lot of things on our journey, Dazarey did not bother picking these
wild fruits after filling her tummy and sat on a rock to pray again.
Shannon loved eating and ate while she picked, looking extremely delighted.
The three other girls were picking too, gathering them with their shirts and trying their best to take more with
them.
Thaddea kindly reminded them from on top of the tree, "Don’t let your guards down and pay attention to your
surroundings. There's surely more than just one poisonous snake in this deep forest.
Shannon was awfully terrified of snakes. When she heard what Thaddea said, she shrieked a little crazily and
looked vigilantly around her.
After making sure that there were no snakes around her, she finally relaxed.
After stuffing a fruit in her mouth, she said with a gentle sigh, "I'll eat a fruit to get over this shock."
Thaddea glanced at her. She was caught between laughter and tears. She then continued picking fruits and
tossing them down.

"She may pray all day but she had no mercy at all when she smashed the snake with a rock just now."
After hearing what she said, Thaddea chuckled and said from on top of the tree, "God wasn't around when the
world fell into chaos, yet the candles burned brighter than ever during prosperous
times. | wonder i f we should be praying to God or humans."
"What are you guys talking about?” | interrupted them. "Quickly pick the fruits and gather them. We still have a
long journey to continue."
God was God, while believers were humans. How could humans compare to God?
In order to have enough food to sustain us, we took as much as we could before continuing on our journey.
We encountered another snake on our journey, but fortunately, this snake was not very aggressive. With water
and food on us during our journey, we were able to travel pretty fast.

However, none of us knew exactly when we would be able to walk out of this deep forest.
