"Look there." Song Xiaoyou suddenly walked straight ahead.

Lu Wuyai looked up and saw a huge rock standing on a gentle slope, blocking his way.

"Let's go take a look."

Lu Wuyai walked forward, watching the stone opposite him getting closer and closer, and the moisture on the ground becoming more and more obvious.

Finally, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou arrived at a gentle slope, preparing to go around the rocks and take a look at the back.

“You can’t take this path.” Song Xiaoyou shook his head. This side of the gentle slope was a cliff. Although it wasn’t steep, it was deep enough. If someone stepped on it, death would be almost inevitable.

Lu Wuyai nodded, looked at the road ahead, stepped under a big tree, hugged the branches above his head with both hands, and used his waist, abdomen and arms to suspend himself in the air.

Then, with the help of kicking his legs, Lu Wuyai climbed up the tree branches and successfully reached the top of the big rock.

As a result, there was a slope leading all the way to the top of the mountain, and from the top of the mountain to the middle of the slope, there was an extremely long crack. At first glance, it looked as if it had been cleaved open by a sword.

Lu Wuyai also saw a large number of birds on the crack in the middle of the slope, which looked a lot like swallows.

Logically speaking, how could there be swallows on this deserted island?

Lu Wuyai regained his focus. This time, he mainly searched for a water source. He carefully observed his surroundings and found that the platform below the slope was very clean, without any traces or water stains.

It seems there is no water source here.

Lu Wuyai sighed, thinking to himself that he was going to make a wasted trip again.

After descending the gentle slope, Lu Wuyai recounted his discoveries and was about to leave when Song Xiaoyou suddenly grabbed him and pointed to the large rock.

"Could it be that this rock is blocking the spring?"

What does that mean?

Lu Wuyai was a little confused, but according to Song Xiaoyou, there might be a water source under this rock.

"Then I'll try to see if I can remove the stone." Lu Wuyai looked at the big tree with the stone protruding from its trunk, took out two spiked saws from his pocket, and began to vigorously scrub the trunk.

Half an hour later, the first large tree was cut down. Due to the uneven force, the rocks began to tilt towards the edge of the cliff.

Lu Wuyai stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat, walked to the other side of the stone, and together with Song Xiaoyou, pushed it with all their might.

As it turned out, the stone didn't move at all; it only tilted a short distance at the beginning.

With no other option, Lu Wuyai could only continue sawing the tree trunk.

Time passed second by second, and another two hours went by. When Lu Wuyai sawed off the fifth tree trunk, the large rock tilted noticeably again.

Lu Wuyai rushed to the other side and pushed Song Xiaoyou together again.

This time, the stone trembled, and the two were too weak to follow. The stone returned to its previous position.

"This is insane!" Lu Wuyai gasped, but he didn't expect that after cutting down the tree for so long, the stone would return to its original position.

Having no other option, Song Xiaoyou had to cut down all the tree trunks and let the stones roll down in a certain direction.

After resting for a while, looking at the midday sun, the two could only continue their efforts.

At 3:30, the last big tree was cut down. Lu Wuyai hurriedly climbed up the gentle slope, leaning against the big rock, and used all his strength to push off the ground in front of him.

Finally, the stone shook.

Immediately afterwards, the boulder rolled down the mountain road, breaking countless large trees along the way, and finally came to rest at the foot of a mountain.

Just then, Lu Wuyai fell down the gentle slope, his back hitting the ground, and he felt as if his entire skeleton was about to shake off.

He waited a long time before Song Xiaoyou helped him up.

The stone disappeared, and the view that had been blocked by it gradually became clear.

“There’s no water.” Lu Wuyai shook his head, sat on the ground, and felt somewhat desperate.

I've been busy all day, but I still haven't achieved anything.

Song Xiaoyou walked down the gentle slope and stood in front of the earthen wall that had been blocked by stones. He picked up the harpoon in his hand and poked at the soil.

A clanging sound echoed, and the place was actually filled with stones.

Lu Wuyai said, "Song Xiaoyou, let's forget about it. This place is full of rocks; there's no way there could be water."

"We'd better get out of here as soon as possible."

Lu Wuyai had just stood up from the ground when he suddenly saw that Song Xiaoyou had made several holes with a harpoon and started to get them wet.

Although it was slow, these drops of water nourished the soil, making it appear exceptionally glistening under the sunlight.

Without thinking, Lu Wuyai quickly went over, used his hands to peel away the surface layer of soil, revealing the truth hidden inside.

At this moment, more and more water began to flow. Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou saw a large number of stones beneath the mud layer. Among the stones above, there were some pebbles that were blocking the flow of water.

Song Xiaoyou picked up a harpoon and smashed the gravel to pieces.

Soon, the water flow began to increase, but not dramatically. It flowed at a constant speed.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

They found water.

Here, about an hour's walk from the rocky mountain, there's a platform over a stream. At the end of the platform is a natural barrier, but who knows what lies beyond the crevice at the mountain's summit.

Soon, the water began to flow outwards, and the previously dry riverbed became full again.

Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou continued walking, calculating the distance the water flowed outwards, and finally determined that it could only be considered a small stream. The water was crystal clear and had a sweet taste.

"It should be spring water."

Lu Wuyai took a few sips, but Song Xiaoyou stopped him again and again before he could.

Although the water in the stream is sweet, you should still pay attention to hygiene.

Over the next few hours, they repeatedly confirmed the location and began to quickly return to the rocky hill along the tracks they had taken.

It was just getting dark when we returned to Shiqiu.

But when Lu Wuyai saw Jin Xilu and her interns on the rocky mountain, his beautiful mood was suddenly filled with unease.

The reason for their anxiety was that Anna and Tang Xin were both crying on the rocky mountain, with many tear marks on their bodies, and even their water buckets had been stolen by the Koreans.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai realized that he had not handed the gun to Su Xi and the others.

Lu Wuyai ran out of the forest with a gloomy expression.

The speed did not slow down, and the sound of running immediately attracted the attention of others.

When they looked up and saw Lu Wuyai, the four interns panicked, especially when they remembered that Lu Wuyai had a gun. One by one, they quickly stood up, turned around, and ran away.

Upon seeing Lu Wuyai, Jin Xilu was thrown into turmoil. Without a second thought, she grabbed the bucket from the ground and ran away.

"Don't let me see you again!" Lu Wuyai returned to Su Xi and Anna's side in a fit of rage. By then, they had stopped crying.

Su Xi said angrily, "Why are you here?"

As she spoke, Su Xi started crying again, hugging Lu Wuyai so tightly that her delicate body was almost hanging on his chest.

Sensing the surge of the snow-capped peaks, Lu Wuyai immediately reacted.

Fortunately, Su Xi quickly distanced herself from him, otherwise Lu Wuyai might have turned into a beast in the darkness...

"Damn stick country."

The joy of obtaining fresh water vanished instantly by the campfire as he stared at the vanished bucket and empty pottery jar.

Su Xi was still wiping away her tears, her cheeks marked with red marks from her hands. She kept glancing at Lu Wuyai, revealing a longing for comfort.

Unfortunately, Lu Wuyai did not comfort her, but instead told her about finding a water source that day.

As a result, Su Xi stopped crying instantly, and Anna also raised her head, her blue eyes filled with tears as vast as the sea.

"Very good." Su Xi rubbed both sides of her nose, looking somewhat excited. Then she realized something and quickly lowered her voice.

"Don't tell the people from South Korea, they're too bad."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

As time goes on, these Korean-Chinese will probably not be content with just stealing water and food. There are many people over there, including many men working as interns.

“We will leave Shishan quietly early tomorrow morning,” Lu Wuyai said, but tonight, he was destined to go hungry.

Having not eaten all night and not keeping watch, Lu Wuyai woke up early from hunger.

He looked around, woke the others, and then quietly circled the forest to make sure no one else was around. Then, he, Song Xiaoyou, Su Xi, and Anna headed towards the treacherous peak where they had found the water source the day before. Go.

An hour later, as dawn fully bathed the rocky mountain, Jin Xilu led four interns to the dried-up stream. They looked at the desolate landscape, then up at the blue sky. The five of them were filled with excitement for the future.

“Teacher, let’s go to the beach,” said a short-haired girl. Her tall figure made her stand out in the group.

Kim Seok-rok glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

Soon, the group of five left the rocky hill and headed towards the beach.

Unfortunately, no one noticed that the only two male interns were looking at the three elegant women in front of them with undisguised lust in their eyes.

When we first saw the precipitous peak, everyone was stunned.

"Tell me, how high is it from the top of the mountain to the platform?" Tang Xin opened her mouth in surprise, saying that she could actually fit an egg in there.

This was the first time Anna had ever seen such a sight, and she was far more shocked than she had seen it on television.

“Let’s go take a look,” Lu Wuyai said, and then he walked ahead. The four of them soon arrived at the foot of the precipitous peak.

Looking up, this precipitous peak is over a hundred meters high. Countless birds fly here, most of them resembling swallows.

The precipitous peak stands abruptly in the middle, yet it remains majestic and unyielding. It's hard to imagine everything that went through to form this towering mountain.

"Here!" Anna suddenly jumped up, and Lu Wuyai unconsciously swallowed when he saw the swaying snow-capped peaks.

Following Anna's finger, there was a cave at the foot of the steep peak. It wasn't large, but it was long and narrow. Many swallows flew in and out of it, and their chirping created a dense, unpleasant noise.

Out of curiosity, everyone lit a bonfire at the entrance, made some simple torches, and headed straight for the cave.

Lu Wuyai hadn't gone far when he felt something fall from above his head. He touched it and realized it was bird droppings.

Not only him, but everyone else was also "contaminated" by bird droppings, and they all immediately ran out of the hole.

Song Xiaoyou, who was at the very back of the crowd, picked something up from the ground, ran out of the cave, and looked at the sun.

"Hey, Xiaoyou, what are you holding in your hand?" Su Xi asked curiously.

As a result, Lu Wuyai heard a word from Anna.

"This is a bird's nest," Song Xiaoyou said, her eyes filled with a strange curiosity.

“This is a bird’s nest.” Su Xi looked at it suspiciously. This might be very different from the bird’s nest she had ever seen or eaten.

At first glance, the thing in Song Xiaoyou's hand seemed to be a black and white lump, but upon closer inspection, the black substance looked like mud.

"Put it in the water and see," Lu Wuyai said.

So they descended the treacherous peak, immediately fetched a bucket of water, and soaked the object that looked like a bird's nest in the water to clean it.

“I remember that the bird’s nests I used to buy had to be soaked for 4 to 6 hours to soften,” Su Xi said.

They have just reached the peak of danger and there is a lot to deal with now.

The most important thing is to find a sheltered place to stay before dark.

“It needs to be both safe and hidden.” Lu Wuyai thought for a moment, then focused his attention on the cave he had just left.

It sits at the bottom of a steep peak, offering a wide view, and is a long, narrow cave. While it's unknown what other animals inhabit it besides swallows, it is currently the most suitable place for human habitation.

The only downside was that bird droppings kept falling from the sky. The experience and the taste were really not good.

But they returned to the dangerous mountain peaks, seeking a new place to live in the surrounding environment.

Apart from the gentle slopes and an unexplored passage in the center of the precipitous peak, the area around the peak is mostly sheer cliffs.

Lu Wuyai had been there once. It seemed the timing was wrong. The place was filled with steam, which affected his vision; he could barely see his feet.

Finally, at dusk, a temporary stone house was built among a pile of rocks near a cave at the foot of the precipitous peak.

It was said to be a stone house, but it was actually three stones placed side by side. Lu Wuyai and the others used thermal blankets to cover up the gaps around them and the gaps above their heads.

In this way, a safe space is created with a wide range of activities. Four people can live there at the same time without feeling cramped.

"Alright," Lu Wuyai finished patching up the last gap, clapped his hands, and prepared to start a fire to boil water.

By then, Song Xiaoyou had returned with a bucket of water. After soaking for more than four hours, the bird's nest had become somewhat loose.

As the sun set, Song Xiaoyou took it out and noticed that the black part was gone, but it wasn't very noticeable.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai looked closely and realized that the black thing was actually made up of many feathers that were stuck together to form black substances of various sizes.

After a long soaking, the feathers loosen from the white filaments, and then they become clearly visible.

"There's so much hair, how long will it take to fix it?" Lu Wuyai looked at the dense feathers and felt as if his head had grown bigger.

But the three women were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Su Xi even claimed that bird's nest is highly nutritious. "There are swallows everywhere in this crevice, so there must be a lot of good bird's nest," she said.

Song Xiaoyou poured out a few pieces of iron from the casserole, picked them over and over, got a few pairs of tweezers, and immediately started picking them out next to the bucket.

Su Xi and Anna were the same. Lu Wuyai was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Lu Wuyai got bored and left the crevice. He walked alone into the forest by the stream and quickly gathered firewood in the last rays of the twilight.

It wasn't dark yet, and the surroundings in the woods were still clearly visible.

Lu Wuyai brandished his machete. His body was much stronger than when he first arrived on the deserted island. This was probably related to the fact that he had been eating a lot of venison recently.

Unfortunately, the three wild deer didn't last long either, and the last bit of venison was stolen by Kim Seok-rok and his men.

"Looks like we're out of dinner again tonight." Lu Wuyai sighed and rubbed his stomach. Ever since he entered the perilous peak, he'd been snoring non-stop.

Lu Wuyai raised his head and glanced in the direction of the precipitous peak. It was surrounded by cliffs, with a drop of at least 100 meters. It wasn't a suitable place to live, but it was better than being hidden away and difficult for ordinary people to find.

After securing the cut logs with rescue ropes, Lu Wuyai began his return journey to his dwelling at the foot of the treacherous peak.

There was still a sliver of light in the sky when Lu Wuyai noticed that the three women were still picking out feathers. They were so focused that they didn't even notice Lu Wuyai's arrival.

With nothing to do, Lu Wuyai went to the cave on the precipitous peak. When he came out, he was carrying several bird nests, each one looking very different.

Some have too many impurities and feathers, the color is dull, and the layer looks very thin.

Some have few impurities, are exceptionally white in color, and have a uniform shape.

More importantly, it was a pale pink color, and there were many impurities scattered on the ground, everywhere.

When Lu Wuyai returned to his post, it was already completely dark.

At this moment, Song Xiaoyou and the others raised their heads and moved their necks and limbs. The repetitive movements over a long period of time had left them somewhat exhausted, and their eyes were filled with a ferocious bloodshot look.

"Wow, so many bird nests!" Su Xi exclaimed in surprise when she saw the bird's nest in Lu Wuyai's hand.

"The shapes are all very good, like a wild goose spreading its wings, or a blood swallow."

"If this is sold, it will be worth a lot of money."

Su Xi's exclamation made Lu Wuyai realize that the swallow's nest in the narrow crevice was actually a treasure trove. The swallow's nest he had casually picked up from the ground could actually be sold for a good price.

“With these bird nests, we’ll have enough food for a while,” Su Xi said, while Anna chimed in with a series of comments. Judging from her expression, Lu Wuyai knew that Anna was very excited.

However, Lu Wuyai looked at the size of the bird's nest and realized that even one bird's nest wasn't enough to satisfy his hunger. Moreover, it was covered with too many bird feathers and impurities, and had an indescribable fishy smell.

An hour later, Lu Wuyai looked at the glutinous rice and bird's nest stewing in the clay pot and reluctantly took a bite.

It has a faint fishy smell and an indescribable sensation when you put it in your mouth. It's waxy, but not sticky. And Lu Wuyai discovered that this food is indeed addictive.

Due to time constraints, the three ladies only had one serving of oatmeal porridge left, and none of them were able to eat their fill.

The next morning, just as the morning light began to envelop the precipitous peak, Lu Wuyai was awakened by Su Xi.

The bird's nest, soaked all night, was completely drenched. Song Xiaoyou and Anna carried buckets to the stream on the gentle slope and carefully washed the bird's feathers and removed the impurities.
