The seawater washed over the shore, making a 'splashing' sound.
Xiao Longzhan sat on the beach, slowly eating a bag of dried fruit.
Xiao Zi absorbed energy for two consecutive days before stopping, and then fell into a deep sleep.
It has been three days now.
The older sister and brother-in-law were unsure of its condition and feared it needed more energy, so they dared not leave the island for the time being.
They had been on the island for five days.
"Sigh~"
Xiao Longzhan glanced back at the island, which had lost a third of its vegetation, and let out what seemed to be the umpteenth sigh.
"So boring~"
He picked up a small pebble from beside his feet and threw it forcefully into the sea.
"How about we ask Little Water and Big Water to take me to play on the sea?"
Xiao Longzhan put away the dried fruit and stroked his chubby chin in thought.
These past few days, my sister and brother-in-law have been searching for traces left by the Bi family on the island during the day and absorbing crystal cores at night to enhance their strength.
Meanwhile, Big Gray, Little Silver, Obsidian, Big Fire, and Little An improved their strength day and night, aside from eating, drinking, and relieving themselves.
He just did nothing all day long.
"Fine, I'll just stay put..."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Longzhan gave up the idea of going on a sea trip, took out some dried fruit, and continued to gnaw on it.
'Waaah—'
Suddenly a whooshing sound came from afar, and the once calm sea surface was churned up with layers of waves.
A gigantic object could be vaguely seen churning within, riding the waves.
Xiao Longzhan stood up abruptly, looking ahead with a solemn expression.
'Splash splash'
Large and small streams rise to the surface, their massive bodies swaying gently in the sea.
'roar--'
Little Water let out a sharp, warning roar towards the distance.
The colossal creature opposite seemed oblivious, continuing its advance without slowing down, and even accelerating slightly.
'Roar!!!'
Xiao Shui was instantly enraged. With a flick of her massive body, she charged toward her opponent at top speed.
"Little Zhanzhan!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Jiang Nian'an and the others rushed to Xiao Longzhan's side as quickly as possible.
'boom--'
The small body of water collided violently with the giant object in the ocean waves.
The immense impact caused the surrounding seawater to boil instantly, creating giant waves tens of meters high that swept outwards in all directions.
At the same time, a giant, ten-meter-long fish covered in fine black scales was violently knocked away by Xiao Shui.
With a loud crash, it fell from mid-air into the sea, creating another huge wave.
Jiang Nian'an, Shen Nanxing, and several others each held a pair of binoculars and closely monitored the situation at sea.
'Roar!!'
The strange fish suddenly flipped itself up in the sea and stopped about thirty meters away from Xiaoshui, letting out an angry roar.
Before being subdued by Xiao Zi, Xiao Shui was a dominant force in the sea, and no mutated creature in the ocean had ever dared to provoke it like this.
It immediately whipped its tail, carrying immense force, and lashed out at the monster.
'Roar!!'
Not to be outdone, the giant fish suddenly opened its blood-red maw, revealing rows of incredibly sharp teeth, and lunged at Xiao Shui's tail.
With a loud bang, the giant monster was sent flying backward once again.
Its sharp teeth flew out along with it.
The next second, more than twenty of the same giant, strange fish suddenly leaped out of the sea.
They all opened their blood-red mouths and lunged at Xiao Shui.
Upon seeing this, Da Shui, who had been watching the battle, immediately swam over to help.
At Jiang Nian'an's signal, the Octopus King's henchmen also stepped forward to help.
Although the giant monster looked ferocious, its strength was far less formidable than its appearance suggested, and it was quickly and completely annihilated under the siege.
A large patch of blood stained the sea surface, with the mangled body of a giant, monstrous fish floating in it, a horrifying sight from afar.
'Beep beep beep—'
An alarm suddenly sounded in a basement in Cloud City, the closest city to the isolated island.
[A large number of giant man-eating fish have mysteriously died in area number three. Please proceed to investigate immediately!]
The emotionless voice of the machine rang out, instantly throwing the people in the basement into a panic.
"What's going on? Quickly send probe number three to check the situation!"
As a sharp sound rang out, a tiny, transparent fish, no bigger than a palm, began to swim happily somewhere in the sea.
They quickly arrived at the center of the battle and transmitted the footage back to the basement in real time.
"How could there be people on the island, and who are they?"
The Bi family members, who were hiding in the basement, panicked. "Detector No. 3, zoom in on the image directly in front of us immediately!"
As the image zoomed in, Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing's faces appeared on the large screen in the basement.
“These people are—” Someone pulled up two portraits.
Their striking appearances made their identities immediately clear without any comparison.
"Shouldn't they be in Beijing? How did they suddenly appear at sea?"
"Never mind all that, report to the patriarch immediately!"
......
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and night fell, the cool moonlight enveloping the entire isolated island.
Jiang Nian'an held a handful of wood-type crystal cores in her hand, absorbing them quietly, her whole body radiating a soft green light.
【Sister~】
【Sister~】
Suddenly, a clear, youthful voice rang in her ear, intimate and playful.
Jiang Nian'an suddenly opened her eyes and saw Xiao Zi tilting her head and clinging to the half-timbered wooden stake next to her.
"Little Purple, is that you calling me?"
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She picked up Xiao Zi and whispered a question.
"It's me, sister!" Little Purple nodded repeatedly, her voice filled with joy. "I can finally talk to my sister!"
"Brother Chen, Xiao Zhanzhan, Xiao Yin, come quick! Xiao Zi can talk now!"
Jiang Nian'an smiled brightly and quickly called out to Shen Nanxing and the others.
"Really?"
Xiao Longzhan burst out of the tent and rushed to Jiang Nian'an's side like a small cannonball. He looked down at Xiao Zi and said, "Xiao Zi, say something so I can hear you!"
【Little Zhanzhan!】
Xiao Zi gently touched Xiao Longzhan's hand from the head, and Xiao Longzhan immediately gave it a thumbs up, "Great, Xiao Zi, you can finally communicate with us using your voice!"
Shen Nanxing and Xiao Yin also gathered around.
The fire did not disturb them; they continued to absorb crystal cores to enhance their strength.
"It seems we can finally leave this place and move on."
Shen Nanxing looked at Xiao Zi, who had regained consciousness, and gave her a gentle smile.
"The energy I have left is enough for me to take human form, so could I stay for two more days?"
Xiao Zi's slightly hurried voice rang in Jiang Nian'an and the others' ears.
"Of course!" Jiang Nian'an agreed without hesitation. "Just absorb it!"
Okay, thank you, sister!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zi didn't waste any more time. She leaped to the ground and quickly climbed a large tree to absorb its energy.
