"No, I haven't had enough fun yet."

Li Changge said with dissatisfaction.

He then looked around the other beach and found that many more rocks had appeared after the tide receded.

"Stones can be considered a resource too."

He muttered to himself as he walked forward, collecting stones that could be mined.

There are so many rocks available for mining on this side of the reef.

There's no need to dig at all; you can just pick them up by hand.

Lao Zi and Lie Kai followed behind, watching Li Changge throw one stone after another into his sack.

"Hey, hey, hey, haven't you two seen enough? Aren't you coming over to help pick them up?"

Li Changge was very dissatisfied.

How could his beast be so lazy?

The two strange beasts froze instantly, then with bitter expressions, silently picked up the stones.

As a mythical beast, to have fallen to this level.

That's the end of it.

Except for the rocks stuck to the reefs that couldn't be mined, Li Changge accepted everything else without hesitation.

[Obtain 150 Stones]

After a thorough search, the man and the two beasts finally collected all the stones available for collection on the beach.

These stones are usually quite small, and they're packed into two sacks. This weight is negligible for two perfect-level beasts...

Anyone with hands can do it.

"Let's go, there shouldn't be any resources left here."

Li Changge wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around at the barren landscape, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

A good survivor should leave no trace of land in their wake.

Here, "inch of land" refers to resources.

Li Changge looked at the sun overhead. Two or three hours had passed since he entered this secret realm, but the sun hadn't moved at all.

It seems to have remained unchanged since time immemorial.

"Something's definitely not right here. We need to get out of here and back to the ship as soon as possible."

The islands and oceans after nightfall are terrifying, with unknown dangers lurking in the darkness.

"But how do I get out?"

Li Changge looked around and tragically discovered...

There was no way out.

Left with no other choice, Li Changge had to return the way he came, starting from this beach, crossing the hills, another beach, and a rugged path.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Li Changge returned to the final destination.

Seeing the dark, boundless cave entrance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We can finally go out.

Without hesitation, Li Changge led the two through the cave entrance, and three seconds later…

A man and two beasts stood on the beach where they had come from.

Li Changge looked up at the moon, squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand, and smelled it.

"vomit!"

Li Changge gagged, then his eyes lit up.

This is the taste.

He's finally back.

"Go back and get some sleep. We've scavenged enough resources; there's no need to risk venturing deeper into this island."

Li Changge thought for a moment and then said.

He estimated that it was around nine o'clock at night, and he could have a late-night snack after taking a shower.

Feeling great.

The beach where Li Changge was located was not far from where the small boats were moored; it would only take a few minutes to walk there and cross some rocks.

But just as the man and the two beasts rushed back, an accident occurred.

"Stop."

Standing on the edge of the reef, Li Changge watched as dozens, even hundreds, of red lights appeared in the distance, and his heart sank.

Although his vision was impaired at night, the two beasts were not.

Li Changge glanced down at Lao Zi and Lie Kai, and noticed that both of them looked wary.

Furthermore, these red lights were still moving around near the small boat.

Li Changge instantly knew what had happened.

The strange beasts of Firefish Island have begun to stir.

What's even more chilling is that these strange beasts actually live in groups.

If you take one of them out, you'll never be able to leave this world.

I might as well just die on this island.

But the most fatal thing is...

It seems these strange beasts have their eyes on his ship.

Even Li Changge could see several red lights jumping into his deck and bouncing around.

"Old Zi, go to the bottom of the ship and see if there are any other groups of strange beasts."

Li Changge gave an order, put on the Mighty Gloves, and transformed them into a trident.

"Remember, don't get caught."

Li Changge was still worried and gave her earnest instructions.

Although Lao Zi is a variant of the Azure Bull Python and possesses perfect-level strength, there are simply too many other strange beasts.

Even a perfect-grade alien beast will die if surrounded by dozens or hundreds of other alien beasts.

The saying "many ants can kill an elephant" illustrates this point.

Therefore, most survivors or solitary beasts would flee in terror if they encountered such a group of beasts.

But the situation is different now.

If the small boat is lost, Li Changge will be like a floating duckweed, destined to die in divine punishment sooner or later.

Therefore, the small boat must be recaptured.

No matter the cost.

He had already considered what to do if the beasts did anything to harm the small boat.

Li Changge would rush forward without hesitation and fight the enemy to the death.

With the support of two perfect-grade alien beasts, and considering the surprise attack, there is a high chance of retaking the small boat.

However, this was only a last-ditch effort.

"Moo".

Old Zi nodded, walked in another direction and entered the sea, without making a sound.

With Lao Zi gone, Li Changge began to think about how to break the deadlock.

Aside from knowing that the other party can swim, we have no other information, not even what kind of beast it is. A direct confrontation is definitely not an option.
