The sun was shining brightly, and the view was very clear. Soon after Chen Xiao dived into the water, he encountered a reef with clusters of colorful corals swaying in different shapes as the sea water flowed.

The clothes on his body were made of special fabrics customized by his elder brother at Qianxiufang. Apart from feeling the seawater was a bit cold, Chen Xiao was not wet. He held the pearl in his mouth and took a breath, and a string of bubbles flowed out of his nose. His eyes scanned the surroundings, but he did not see a single sea fish. He did not feel strange or surprised. The seawater in this area was too clear. Sea fish were different from those in other places. They hid in caves and crevices to sleep during the day and only came out to move around at night.

However, this does not mean that nothing can be caught during the day. Chen Xiao carefully looked at the reef and soon found something. He waved his hands and feet, swam like a fish, and grabbed a yellowish object covered with thorns from the gravel on the reef. It turned out to be a large sea cucumber.

Xi Yunting floated gently along the sea water to his side. Chen Xiao happily waved the thing in his hand at him and put it into the chain net. He used this chain net directly as a net bag.

Xi Yunting watched his movements. He had never fished in the sea before, so he naturally didn't recognize these fresh creatures that were very different from the food on the plate.

Xi Yunting memorized the appearance of the sea cucumber. He raised his hand and gestured to Chen Xiao, pointing to another reef. Chen Xiao nodded and followed him to swim over there without hesitation.

There was also a sea cucumber here. It seemed that the current brought by the two people startled it. The sea cucumber bent its body and tried to escape. Xi Yunting acted quickly and caught it directly.

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth to prevent the seawater from entering his mouth, and his lips couldn't help but stretch into a big smile. He gave Xi Yunting a thumbs-up, opened the chain net, and Xi Yunting threw the sea cucumber in.

After walking around for a while, Chen Xiao didn't find any sea cucumbers, but he did catch a sea urchin, three starfish, and quite a few scallops, oysters, and clams. These creatures usually lie still, and because they naturally resemble shells on reefs, they are easily overlooked. As long as you observe carefully, you can tell them apart. They are very easy to catch, and you can just pry them off with a crowbar.

Because there are large aquatic beasts in the sea of ​​Yumen Water Realm, ordinary people on Yingxian Island who make a living from fishing will not come here to fish. This makes the seafood on the seabed particularly large, and soon Chen Xiao's chain net became heavy and began to hinder his movement.

They would stay here for several days, and Chen Xiao had no intention of using up all the fun at once. He stopped while he was ahead, put the chain net directly into the storage box, put the water arrow in the most convenient place, and followed Xi Yunting to swim towards the depths of the Fish Gate Water Realm.

After swimming for a while, the vision in front of him gradually became dim, and a huge reef appeared on the seabed. Chen Xiao looked up at the sea surface, and could only see a vast expanse of white refracted by the sea water. It was still good at this time. If you go deeper and there is no sunlight, you will be confused and lose your sense of direction, and you can't tell which is above your head and which is under your feet.

However, this problem is not a problem for Chen Xiao at all. He has a compass in his sea of ​​consciousness, which can determine the correct direction at any time. He can also remember the route here according to the direction.

A dark image appeared in front of him. When he got closer, Chen Xiao could see clearly that it was a huge arch-like reef. The seabed around it was densely covered with giant seaweeds, and many fish living in the seaweed forests were swimming around. Chen Xiao looked at this spectacular natural landscape in amazement, thinking that this was the origin of the name of Yumen Water Realm.

The fact was just as he had guessed. Xi Yunting brought him here specifically to let him see this huge reef arch.

The seabed is thick with mud, so algae can take deep roots. The air sac-like organs on the branches and leaves allow the branches and leaves to float upright in the seawater. Seaweed also needs to absorb sunlight to carry out photosynthesis, so in order to grow to the sea surface, these seaweeds have thick trunks and large leaves.

Dense kelp forests form an underwater forest. Many species of fish live in the middle layer, and the seabed near the tree roots is a paradise for small shellfish.

Chen Xiao swallowed his saliva after seeing this, remembered this place, and planned to come back tomorrow.

After seeing the reef arch, Xi Yunting took Chen Xiao and changed the direction. After swimming for about an hour, the sea water became bright again.

Chen Xiao emerged from the sea, and the Sun Star was almost completely below the sea. Not far away was the island that Tong Nuonuo had pointed out to him before, and people were constantly floating up from the sea to rest on the island.

"Brother Xiao, let's go ashore. It's getting dark, and we need to find a suitable campsite." Xi Yunting said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother." Chen Xiao nodded.

After putting the water arrow into the storage box, Chen Xiao followed Xi Yunting to the shore.

As I left the sea, I felt heavy again, and I felt like I couldn't jump up when I stepped on the ground. However, this feeling of heaviness due to the loss of buoyancy soon disappeared as I got used to gravity again.

The clothes on my body were immediately dried as the seawater dripped off, but my hair was soaked in the seawater and stuck to my shoulders and back.

Xi Yunting's hair quickly became dry. He turned to Chen Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, do you want me to dry your hair?"

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have to wash it later, so let's leave it like this for now." Sea water contains a lot of salt, and even if it is dried now, the scalp will feel very uncomfortable.

Xi Yunting nodded and said nothing more. He also did not tell Chen Xiao that when he used the fire essence to evaporate the seawater in his hair, he also removed the salt particles. Since Xiaodi wanted to wash, he still respected the other party's wishes.

After the two men got ashore, they walked along the beach for a while and found an open space between several big trees as their campsite.

Xi Yunting had been through similar situations before, so Chen Xiao completely handed over the task of tidying up the camp to him. By the time he had washed his hair with the clean water stored in the storage box, Xi Yunting had leveled out a large area and found a few stones and wood to build a fire pit.

Chen Xiao took out the simple tent that he had asked Tong Nuonuo to make for him from the storage box. It was a cylinder that was one and a half feet high and half a foot thick. Chen Xiao pressed the switch on the side, and the cylinder automatically split open, and then a space that was very similar to the camping tent in his previous life was propped up.

The size and function of this tent were specially made for him by Tong Nuonuo after consulting Chen Xiao. When he first took it in his hand and tried to open it, Chen Xiao was once again grateful that there was a profession like the Mechanical Engineer with super research and development capabilities in the world of immortal cultivation.

This tent has two different opening methods, one is larger and suitable for flat areas of the camp, and the other is suitable for rough areas of the camp. The size of the flat ground is eight square meters, and the size of the rough ground is only four square meters, and it is directly set on the ground.

Tong Nuonuo knew that Chen Xiao was different from ordinary practitioners. In comparison, he seemed more fragile and had a weaker ability to adapt to extreme climates.

He carefully selected cloth specially used for machine manufacturing. Although the ductility of this cloth was not as good as the legendary camp tent, it could keep warm well and resist strong winds and heavy rains.

This tent can not only be automatically erected, but also folded automatically. It can be folded into its original cylindrical shape with just one click. It couldn't be more convenient.

Xi Yunting sprinkled mosquito repellent around the camp, and Chen Xiao took out pots, bowls, spoons and basins from the storage box. He only had pots and barbecue racks, as well as a wide variety of seasonings. Tong Nuonuo didn't camp with them, so there was no stove to use, so they could only cook on the fire pit.

Xi Yunting left Chen Xiao in the camp to cook dinner, and went to the island to see if there was anything to add to the meal.

Chen Xiao lit the fire successfully, splitting the wood into firewood and piling it into a fire. He thought for a moment, soaked various shells in water, and lit some fragrant oil to make them spit out sand.

He was somewhat confident about the processing of seafood. The ingredients themselves were salty, so no seasoning was needed. They could be eaten just by boiling them in water. He changed the water for the shells twice, and seeing that the water remained clear and no longer dirty, he hung the pot directly over the fire pit to cook.

Then, he carefully picked out the oysters that were a bit fishy when eaten directly, pried them open one by one, smeared the fishy smell on the oyster meat, and put them directly on the grill. When the starfish had spit out the sand, he put it directly on the grill like oysters.

After finishing all these solemnly, Chen Xiao actually broke out in a thin layer of sweat. He knew his cooking skills, so he didn't want to fry or stir-fry anymore. Now he just wanted to practice the skill of stewing in a pot.

There was only one black sea urchin with hard thorns in the chain net. It was the easiest to eat. Chen Xiao simply used a knife to cut the sea urchin open and removed the thorns. The sea urchin roe inside was dipped in soy sauce and vinegar and stuffed into his mouth, which became a delicious delicacy.

After carefully looking at the food in the pot, the food on the rack, and the sea urchin, Chen Xiao put down the snacks, thinking that he would not fail miserably for today's dinner.

The pot of soup had not yet boiled and Chen Xiao was sprinkling minced garlic on the oysters when Xi Yunting came back.

Chen Xiao straightened up in surprise: "Brother is back so soon." He looked at Xi Yunting's hand, it seemed that he didn't bring anything back, "Didn't you find anything?"

Xi Yunting whispered, "We didn't go far, we just found some bird eggs." As he said that, he took out a large leaf, among which lay a dozen bird eggs that were two times smaller than chicken eggs and had light blue spots on the surface.

"We have bird eggs, great!" Chen Xiao smiled, and finally said worriedly: "If only Ah Rou was here, she would definitely handle these bird eggs well. How are we going to eat them? Or how about something simple, like boiling them in water?"

As a food lover, Xiaodi always mentioned others when eating, which made Xi Yunting a little unhappy. He lifted his clothes and sat on the wood beside him, saying without any expression, "Brother, can you take care of the bird eggs?"

Chen Xiao looked at him in surprise: "I never knew that big brother could cook."

Xi Yunting paused and said, "I can't. It's just that because of my talent, I have some experience in controlling fire spirit energy. Don't worry, if you don't do it well, just throw it away. Big brother can go find bird eggs again."

Chen Xiao quickly said: "No matter what big brother cooks, I will taste it." Just kidding, big brother ate the food he made which was so unpalatable, so his sacrifice can be regarded as reciprocity.

Xi Yunting seemed to smile, but not to. He looked serious, raised one hand and spread it in front of him. Chen Xiao only felt that the air above Xi Yunting's hand was a little distorted in a moment - it was caused by the high temperature.

Xi Yunting held his breath, and with his other hand, he took a bird egg and cracked it on the barbecue grill, pinching open the eggshell with somewhat clumsy movements.

The crack on the eggshell gradually widened, and Xi Yunting quickly moved the flowing bird egg onto his palm. In just a moment, the transparent egg white turned white, and the golden yolk solidified into a mature appearance.

Chen Xiao was already stunned watching from the side. This, this, this, he was actually frying an egg with his bare hands!
