There seems to be a distinction between night and day in this space as well, and since then, it's been day and night seven times. At the same time, my sweet expectations are successfully shattered.
Firmly, I'm hungry, and even the elixir doesn't make my stomach swell. What little black bread I had in my bag ran out long ago.
I'm hungry. The skin of my belly is sticking to me.
I have searched the area many times since then, but there is no edible grass. All we have is the poisonous insect.
No, not yet. The worm was still here. Maybe there are still larvae of bugs that can be eaten underneath the soil. I could still move and hang on a little longer.
Another 15 days pass. I dug the soil with [absolutely unbreakable stick], but after all, not a single polly was there. I don't even have the energy to dig a hole already. I think I'm at my limit. If I don't eat anything for a few more days, I'm going to die. I feel like I'm on the verge of death.
More than anything else, this intense and irresistible sense of hunger is the only thing that keeps me from thinking properly.
I think that's why. That's why I was inspired to do such a stupid thing.
'Haha! You'll die if you don't eat! I'd rather die with all my might than let this hell go on any longer!
You hold a caterpillar in your right hand that you can swallow in one gulp. According to the appraisal, this caterpillar is a [hard-core toxic worm - a poisonous worm that dissolves in stomach acid and can kill even a dragon in an instant if eaten. The bugs also contain a high concentration of nutrients.
It's a poisonous insect that will kill even a dragon if eaten. If it is not, it will surely die. So they poured the elixir into a wooden cup and guzzled and craved a drink, repeating the process. While my belly was chomping on the elixir, I gulped down a hard poisonous polyp.
--Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, your vision turns bright red as unbearable heat like magma erupts from your stomach.
''You have fulfilled the conditions for acquiring Weak Poison Resistance. I will acquire the skill -- [Weak Poison Resistance].
With that inorganic female voice, I lost consciousness.
"Do you want to die ......?
My head is gunky and spectacularly uncomfortable, but I seem to be alive for a change.
Immediately, the elixir takes away the headache and annoyance, like a lie. And the hunger that was there is gone like a lie.
The last woman's voice said, as I recall, that she was [weakly poison resistant].
--------------------- ...
Skill -- [Weak Poison Resistance]: Become resistant to weak poisons.
Conditions for gaining the skill: Survive eating a creature with a lethal dose of 1000 times or more.
Rank: Beginner.
Rank-up requirement: survive to eat 100 organisms with a poison 1000 times greater than the lethal dose.
---------------------
Weak poison resistance. They must have acquired it by eating those poisonous insects and surviving on the elixir.
I've never heard of a poison resistance skill, but without the elixir in the first place, there's no way they could have survived eating a creature with 1000 times the lethal dose without the elixir. That may be so.
At any rate, my belly was bloated after eating one poisonous insect. This would relieve me of that feeling of hunger for the time being. But if the poisonous insects run out, the same thing will happen again.
Exactly 100 days have passed since then. Maybe it's because I've acquired a weak poisonous tolerance, but as long as I take the elixir, I don't faint anymore. Well, the pissing off and headaches are amazing.
Finally, I fulfilled the requirements for improving my [Weak Poison Resistance] rank and gained [Poison Resistance].
---------------------
Skill -- [Poison Resistance]: Become resistant to poison.
Conditions for gaining the skill: Survive 100 times after eating a creature containing a poison 1000 times more than the lethal dose.
Rank: Intermediate
Rank-up requirements: survival of 1,000 organisms containing more than 1,000 times the lethal dose of poison.
------------
When I took the elixir and ate it, my headaches and heartburn were gone.
And that's what I've learned as a result of the past 100 days. It's that poisonous insect - the hard venomous bugs don't decrease at all when you eat them. I don't know if it's just their unusually high fertility or if there's some mysterious power at work here, but there's always a certain number of them here. It's not as if those caterpillars are breeding as moths or butterflies, so it's probably the latter, though.
Thus, the [poisonous polyps] have become an indispensable food source for my survival.
