The brave man opened the coffin and rose

After another day of marching with the combined team, the entire team had traveled about fifteen miles.

The remaining pieces of meat from previous hunts were also consumed within this day and night.

For forty or fifty people, even if each person only has half a pound of food, the total expense is not small.

Although there are still some trampled roads that are barely recognizable, there is no chance of getting lost or losing direction.

However, due to their proximity to the forest and the varying quality of their overall abilities, their speed of progress can only be described as slow.

Especially with the cargo carriage without horses, it slowed down their progress even more.

But Abes also knew very well that he could not let these guys throw away the last bit of property they had dug out from the flames with great difficulty.

Even if there was only a batch of pots and bowls, at least they had enough to fill their stomachs yesterday, right?

Even if there were only some ropes, cloth, kitchen knives, wooden combs and bottles and jars, at least they could complete the cooking and capture the lizardmen, right?

Holding these things, for them, are the roots of their home’s past and future.

Under Kronos' arrangement, everyone started calling for food, just as Abes had expected.

"It's fine for everyone on the farm, but how come you, who are starving, can't even make it through the day after just one full meal?"

Abes joked with the older people on both sides who had the say in a teasing tone.

"My hero, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Usually we were lucky to have food here. Now that we're with you, we can hunt for meat right away. We should be grateful."

"But as the saying goes, it is always better to be prepared for danger. The lizardman we captured escaped, and it will take some time to reach the capital. I really can't help but worry."

"I understand what everyone is thinking...but with the Lizardmen following us, it's really not convenient for us to stop our journey and go deep into the forest to collect and hunt like we did that day." Abes appeared to be worried, but he was actually quite satisfied in his heart.

Things were going just as he had planned.

Finally, after Kronos came out to "persuade" him, Abes agreed to stop moving forward and take some time to stop and explore the dense forest nearby.

Of course, in order to protect the safety of the large group and prevent the Lizardmen from suddenly catching up, Abes did not go to hunt with them this time.

As Abes had expected, without much time to go deep into the hinterland, and without Abes' help, the hunting and gathering team of ten people did not find enough food.

The hunting team that previously carried deer or roe deer now only had that alert little guy, who, with his exquisite spear throwing skills, caught a few fat birds like the ones he caught yesterday.

The collecting team was also surprised to find that they did not find enough berries and vegetables.

Thus, another night fell, and this time, in front of the campfire, everyone just drank the bland bird meat soup.

Seeing that the atmosphere around them was almost settled, the silver-haired girl also stood up and said, "Everyone, listen to me!"

Regardless of whether they were from Silver Moon Farm or not, everyone looked quietly at the silver-haired girl. Her voice was crisp but firm.

"We all know that this hunting and gathering was not successful, but we can't lose heart. We are still some distance away from the capital, and we are being pursued. We don't have the opportunity to stop slowly. Although our food supply is insufficient now, we have other options."

She was obviously just a young girl, but perhaps because they saw her hanging around Abes from time to time, her words made everyone relax a little.

As for the people at Silvermoon Farm, they had witnessed the overturned golden coffin in Kronos' basement, so they all had some expectations about the [Brave] Abes, whose authenticity was unknown.

By the way, they also trusted this girl from the Mels family more.

"Perhaps everyone feels that we are in a strange land, but that is not the case. This area used to belong to the Myers family. If the information my grandfather told me can still play a role, perhaps we will have a huge opportunity."

"Myers family? Which Myers family?"

Some people who were confused about the situation asked, and then everyone at Silver Moon Farm explained it to him in a low voice.

"That man is from the Myers family who guards the coffin of the hero Abes. It is said that he is the hero who came back from the dead."

Kronos did not stop the rustling sounds, but waited until everyone had finished talking before continuing, "The Mels family has a cave here where they store food. From what I've observed, it's not too far from where we are now. We can try to head there."

"Even if there is no clean water and abundant food as expected, we have no choice. We must try to collect food in one go and not stop to let the lizardmen catch up."

"If we take the initiative, we may be able to discover some resources and provide more opportunities for our survival."

Although it was just a simple narration, the girl's words gave everyone hope.

Yes, if I don’t try my best while I’m still in good condition, am I just going to wait for death?

Seeing that everyone's spirits were gradually rising, Abes took over the conversation with satisfaction.

"Guys, if we are going to deviate from the road and head for the cave in the forest, then we need to make some changes."

A team of ten is far from enough.

The scene of the group of people, young and old, fighting together against the wolf is still lingering in Abes' mind.

"We need to act in an organized and disciplined manner. Arrange for rest and job rotation."

"Although there are only about ten people who can be considered young and strong, can't the rest of us contribute? This is for everyone's survival."

"Just like when you dealt with the lizardmen's terrifying mounts before, use your teeth, your fingers, and all other means you can to achieve our common goal."

"Only in this way can we overcome the current predicament. Make sure everyone gets enough rest and food supplies before arriving at the capital."

"And—not one of them fell!"

The words of Abes and Kronos inspired everyone.

Under the leadership of the ten armed young men, everyone quickly formed groups and made plans to go to the Mels family's storage base.

After re-discovering fifteen "defense teams" who were willing to wield weapons and defend themselves and others, Abes also performed a great weapon transformation.

As this move was revealed, the hungry people who were still somewhat dissatisfied with Abes' leadership also wisely shut up.

However, only Abes and Kronos knew that the purpose of their trip was not the base of the Mels family, but a sparsely guarded supply point of the Lizardmen.

Soon, as the grouping was completed, Abes also announced his own action plan.

"First, in order to prevent everyone from falling into danger, I will have to trouble the [Scout Group], which is the first ten people with weapons, to follow me to investigate..."
