Morning has come to the snowy mountain and examinees who have been waiting for morning to come, start to go down the snow mountain.
When the other examinees who plan to wait for the teachers to come saw the other examinees going down the mountain, most of them decide to follow the others leaving a small number of people who still plan to wait for the teachers to arrive.
The moment they go down the mountain to look for animal or plant to eat, most of them realize that the animals are too sparse and most plants have withered because of the cold weather, which makes them realize that the available food in this snow mountain might not be enough to feed all of them.
As time pass, people start to temporary team up with each other to search, hunt, and rob the prey which the other teams hunt, which result in a great battle among the examinees all over the mountain only for a piece of meat.
Those who wait in the mountain also stop waiting as their hunger overwhelm them, even so, when they go down the mountain to search for food, all of them didn't even find the other examinees not to mention animal or plant!.
They're hungry, very hungry, which cause one of them to resort to dig the dirt and find a worm to eat, the other examinees who saw that feel jealous that he got to eat, but most of them didn't have the willpower to eat worm as it's too disgusting for them.
Day after day, examinees didn't get anything to eat for the past few days starts to feel the cold weather that comes from the surroundings and start to disappear one after another leaving the other examinees who didn't want to face the real face of the third test to face reality, As it's the test of survival!.
Yin Yu who has been the one that got down the mountain first has much more advantage than them as he has made a bag of jerkies from the failed dish that cooked by Lan Yiyan. Although it's disgusting, Yin Yu can bear with it as his cooking is more disastrous than her failed dish, which was why eating the jerkies is much better than eating his cooked food.
Yin Yu has easily tracked a lot of animals in these past few days which is why he never got any problem with hunger like the other examinees, he has even tried to experiment storing those animals meat into his storage ring and summoned it out which confirm his suspicion that he can store those animals meat, but he can't take them out from the storage ring.
Most of the meat he gets was turned into a bag of jerkies by him which he hangs on his belt while he casually travels from one snowy mountain to the other to search for more food.
Sometimes, he has also met with other examinees team which look at him with greed as they saw the number of jerkies he has, yet Yin Yu who saw them only throw a bag of jerkies to one of them which instantly cause infighting among the team while Yin Yu casually gone and watch the show while eating jerkies.
The face of others who eat his jerkies was also hilarious as they're so happy that they got some meat but feel like puking it after putting the meat in their mouth. Most of them tried to resist the urge to puke after eating the jerkies as they're too hungry but some of them can't even eat it, and there's even one examinee that instantly eliminated after eating and puking Yin Yu jerkies which makes Yin Yu feel guilty and stop giving away excess jerkies and start to beat all the people who tried to steal his jerkies, yet the results make his frown even deeper as more people get eliminated because of him which make him change his method when he's handling people.
It has been twenty days since the test start, where some teams have started to communicate with other teams where they share information or trading some meat.
Examinees who're notorious in this snow mountains also start to get popularity, for example, Demon Jerkies who will give them jerkies but will beat them up if they come close to her after getting her jerkies.
The jerkies she gave also taste disgusting, more disgusting than worms according to one of the examinees who have resort to eat worms to survive, even so, most people sought the demon, especially if they didn't find anything to eat.
There's also other examinees who becomes well known other than Demon Jerkies, such as the Black Fire Witch who will burn anyone who tried to steal her prey and rumors has said that a whole team has once offended her and gone from this examination together with the forest where they're in, and the trace of fire can still be seen on the snow mountain.
There's the Hunter who make a lot of traps in the whole mountain to trap examinees and animal alike, The Night Walkers team which operated at night ambushing the other examinees who're trying to sleep at night, The Greedy Saint who's healing examinees in exchange for a lot of fees and there's also the team which is called Revolution team who's composed of commoners and even though most of them were weak, no other teams dare to offend them as the leader of that team was said able to control thunder and electrocuted people from afar which make other teams who encountered them start to run as soon as they encounter one of their members.
The fight of survival keeps happening, and more and more examinees got eliminated and sent out from the test site, examinees use the method they can use to survive, and the number of examinees can be said decreased by a third in this test.
The brutal survival becomes even more brutal with the decrease of food as time pass and fight always occurred all over the snow mountain while Yin Yu only leisurely walk from one mountain to the other without any care in the world with twenty bags of jerkies can be seen hanging on his belt while Yin Yu move around the mountain.
Yin Yu sometimes casually walk in the middle of the fight between two teams and throw two bags of jerkies to each team while walking like an expert and give them advice like a senior would give to junior.
"Fighting will only breed hatred, and hatred will breed even more hatred which will cause you to fight endlessly, why do you need to fight if you can make peace with the others? Go and face the wall after this to repent and think of your stupid action to reach enlightenment…"
After he says his words, both side would always stop while looking at him walking away before they continue their fight while Yin Yu will sigh and look back.
"Sigh, Kids nowadays, only know about fighting and never tried to think of their senior words."
"It seems that I need to discipline them into good kids."
And that's how suffering comes to both sides once Yin Yu decide to interfere in the fight between kids.
Remember that the forest I mention is a forest full of withering tree, and there's a lot of snow mountain in this space.
