and rushed forward to pull Zhao Shi away from Hu Ai Lan.He didn't understand why his mother always had to protect someone like Hu Ai Lan.Mrs. Zhao shoved her son hard. "Tie Zhu, you've really disappo...Tie Zhu was the first to shout in disgust, but as more and more people gathered their courage to start eating bugs, proving they weren't cowardly cowards, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

His own father was standing right there.

Even the village chief, Lian Wang, endured the nausea and ate one. Tie Zhu could only grit his teeth and go find some bugs.

When everyone else was looking for earthworms earlier, there were still many. When it was his turn, he couldn't find any no matter how hard he tried. Both of the worm grandchildren couldn't see them either.

Finally, the iron pillar only found one slimy snot worm. Just looking at it made his stomach churn with disgust and he started to twitch with nausea.

"You're scared to try it"

"Little Bean is ten years younger than you, and he dares to eat it. You wouldn't even be as good as Little Bean, would you"

Upon hearing this, the scrawny boy who was less than five feet seven inches tall wiped away his runny nose and chuckled.

The Old Tiger praised him.

Iron Pillar was also a very proud person. How could he possibly admit that he wasn't even as good as Little Bean, who couldn't even wipe his own nose properly

He gritted his teeth and said, “Who says I’m afraid to eat it.”

"I'll eat it right now for you to see!"

He said that and stuffed the still-wiggling snot monster into his mouth, causing everyone around him to grimace in disgust.

Iron Pillar swallowed it without even chewing, just whole.

It still feels like that thing is alive, crawling around in his stomach.

After finishing, he couldn't hold back and vomited continuously.

Zong Yu was dumbfounded. There was something he had wanted to say just now, but before he could, Zong Hu stepped forward and provoked him.

"Slugs, I've never eaten them."

After finishing his words, even his gaze towards Tiezhu transformed into the look he'd give a valiant warrior.

Tie Zhu heard the entire thing and felt like his head was about to explode.

"But didn't you say that when there was nothing to eat, you ate insects"

Zongyu looked at him helplessly, "Yes, but there are many kinds of insects."

He raised his hand and scratched his face, the following words a bit embarrassing to say. He hesitated for a moment but still said them.

"What you just did was disgusting. I can't bring myself to eat it. I've never tasted anything like it."

"But it shouldn't be poisonous, you can't die from eating it." He hurriedly added a sentence to comfort Tiezhu.

But Tiezhu was already giving the appearance of being about to die on the spot, he couldn't hold it in any longer and squatted down on the ground, vomiting violently, wishing he could vomit out his liver, spleen, lungs, and everything else.

It seems like he wasn't comforted by the words of praise.

Zong Hu walked up to him and kindly handed him a plump earthworm.

"Ayu, you're the one who has to lead the way for everyone this morning and take care of everyone's safety, running around all day long. You must be exhausted."

"Eat more."

Zongyu glanced at the earthworm in his hand. He didn't refuse, taking it and slapping the wriggling worm into a paste with the back of his hand. He then casually wrapped it in a leaf.

Zong Hu was stunned, "So this is how it's eaten"

Zongyu handed the wrapped earthworms to his cousin.

"Try it this way, you won't find it so unbearable."

Zong Hu took the package of leaves and stuffed them in his mouth. The taste of grass filled his mouth, bitter even after he chewed many times. He couldn't taste the earthy smell of the earthworm meat at all.

That's definitely more palatable now, I wouldn't feel as nauseous eating it.

Zongyu also looked at him with the same look of awe as he had looked at the Warriors.

"Big brother, I didn't expect you to eat it directly."

"Don't you feel sick eating earthworms straight up"

Just now, the villagers who imitated Zong Hu swallowing earthworms, their expressions are now a kaleidoscope of emotions, their feelings are incredibly complex.

How could they not think to wrap it in leaves before eating, just swallowing it raw like that

Now that I think about it, my scalp is still numb.

Zong Hu blushed, “I, I think you should just eat it directly.”

"Grasshoppers are different," Zongyu explained. "If you have fire, roasting them makes them even more flavorful."

"When there are no other insects to be found, I would resort to eating earthworms wrapped in leaves like I did just now. At least it's meat."

Zong Hu awkwardly nodded, thinking to himself that he should be more careful next time and not act so impulsively.

To ease the awkwardness, he immediately dug up a worm and, mimicking Zongyu's technique, wrapped it in leaves before offering it to him.

"Ayu, you eat too."

At this very moment, news of Zong Bo's business dealings reached them.

"Big brother! Your sister-in-law asked me to bring you some food!"o please her.She even had to accompany her personally for trivial matters like buying and selling servants.When things are unusual, there must be a demon. Fang Jinshi couldn't help but be suspicious....
