Now knowing that she had to avoid them, she became more cautious. If there was no time for her to cover her tracks, she had to not leave any traces before moving. Ye Jian endured hunger all the way and did not eat for a whole afternoon before she pulled her distance away from the soldiers.
On the second day of 'escape from death' training, Ye Jian starved continuously.
Grass roots are edible food while walking. Having relied on them to replenish her energy for five hours of walking, Ye Jian removed two bird nests and ate six small eggs.
She ate half a slice of raw snake meat in the morning, drank stream water at noon, ate grass roots in the afternoon, and had six eggs for dinner!
There was no way for her to relax now. Soldiers were chasing her. She had to be on guard at all times to avoid being discovered.
