After Xuan saw the shell appear, he took Meng Yuqing to a less steep place, swept his tail at Meng Yuqing and said, "Hold on tight."
"Okay." Meng Yuqing pressed his whole body against Xuan's back.
Xuan kept jumping down until he reached the right height. Then he suddenly jumped forward and landed steadily in the shell.
Before the two could say a word, the shell shook slightly and began to move slowly.
Xuan pulled Meng Yuqing to the center of the shell and took out a tent and many daily necessities from the pearl.
He looked at Meng Yuqing, who was still a little dazed, reached out and touched the other person's head, and said, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Meng Yuqing replied softly.
The speed of the shell was getting faster and faster, and it was no slower than the speed of the sea orcs who were traveling at full speed.
But after all, it is in the sea, and the shells will sway gently with the waves of the water like ordinary boats.
After a few days, Xuan was obviously feeling unwell.
Meng Yuqing was fine, as he had traveled on a cruise ship in the modern world before.
When I was a child and lived in the countryside with my grandmother, there was also a big river there. The pier was not far from my grandmother's house, and there were special boats to take people across the river.
Children under 1.2 meters tall are charged one yuan, and children over 1.2 meters tall and adults are charged two yuan.
Their family was well off, so when he was a child his grandmother would often take him on boat rides.
Xuan had never been on a boat before, so he was naturally not used to it.
Looking at Xuan nestled in the soft hides, Meng Yuqing walked over, touched Xuan's forehead, and said, "We'll reach a small island this afternoon. Let's go up there to rest for the night and get some fresh water."
Xuan moved and rested his head on Meng Yuqing's legs without saying anything.
It is possible to make sea water into fresh water by heating it in a bottle and then collecting the water vapor, but it is a bit troublesome for them now.
Therefore, the two of them had already agreed that if there was no water, they would just exchange it directly from the system. However, the current situation obviously requires them to go to the island to give Xuan some time to rest. Since they are on the island, they should find fresh water if possible.
They don't need to take special care of the shell. It moves towards its destination as if it has been programmed. Meng Yuqing can temporarily change the direction by communicating with the system, and as long as they are not on the shell, the shell will not move and will not be carried away by the sea water.
When approaching the island, Xuan forced himself to gather his strength and transformed into a beast.
After hanging the ladder rope, Xuan jumped into the sea with Meng Yuqing on his back, and then swam towards the island.
He felt that it would be more comfortable for him to swim directly in the sea than to float on a shell.
After reaching the island, Xuan transformed back into human form and took two unsteady steps forward before sitting down on the ground and saying, "Why do I still feel light and fluttery after reaching the shore?"
Meng Yuqing looked at his numb expression and said with a smile, "This is how you take a boat."
As he spoke, Meng Yuqing began to pick up stones to build a stone stove. After loading the shells, they cleared out many things and placed them in the shells. At this time, they only brought enough food and water for two people to eat for a day, as well as many containers for water.
"Let's use the water we brought with us first, and then we'll go find a water source tomorrow." Meng Yuqing squatted in front of the stone stove and grilled seafood, while seafood soup was stewed on another stone stove.
After lying on the ground for a while, Xuan regained his spirit and walked to Meng Yuqing to start helping.
After finishing their meal, the two of them lay on the beach, gazing at the sky. Meng Yuqing suddenly said, "There's a man in our area named Robinson Crusoe. After his ship sank, he found himself on an isolated island, struggling to survive. Although our shells didn't sink, we're both on the island. We're the animal world's version of Robinson Crusoe."
Xuan put his hands behind his head, holding a piece of grass he got from somewhere in his mouth and said, "Struggling to survive?"
"Yeah." Meng Yuqing turned over and lay on top of Xuan and continued, "Do you remember the first time you met me? The physical fitness of the people in our area is probably at the same level as mine back then."
Recalling the first time he met Meng Yuqing, he nodded and said, "It was indeed a difficult struggle to survive."
The two chatted intermittently until Meng Yuqing fell asleep.
The next day, the two found a water source and filled all the containers. Xuan was obviously much better after a night's rest. He caught a lot of wild animals on the isolated island as food reserves, and then the two returned to the shell.
The days of drifting on the shells were actually very boring. After Xuan gradually adapted to it, he would go to the sea almost every day to fight with wild beasts and increase his food reserves.
Although the system said that they don't need to worry about the beasts in the sea attacking them, there is no way to stop Xuan from going into the sea to fight the beasts!
Meng Yuqing saw with his own eyes a beast that was twice as big as Xuan and looked like a squid rushing straight towards Xuan.
The huge size difference made Meng Yuqing's breathing stop.
Fortunately, Xuan ate the breathing grass and fought with the giant squid underwater for a long time. Finally, the giant squid slipped away after leaving behind a few fat squid tentacles.
Xuan didn't want to chase it either. After all, if they caught all the beasts, they would be enough for him and Meng Yuqing to eat for a long time.
But he is not a sea orc after all. Although the breathing grass allows him to breathe in the water and reduces the pressure brought to him by the sea water, he really cannot swim as well as others.
If someone wants to run away, he can't even smell the exhaust.
Eighty percent of the wild animals he caught were those that came to hunt Xuan after he jumped into the sea, and were then killed by Xuan.
When Xuan first went hunting at sea some time ago, he almost always came back empty-handed, which made him doubt his life.
After all, Xuan is very strong. Although the beast is not very smart, it still has some intelligence. After all, its head is so big, and it still has some brains to know that it can't afford to offend Xuan.
Although they have brains, they don't have much brains. They can only feel that Xuan is very strong, much stronger than them, but they don't know that Xuan can't exert his full strength in the sea and can't swim.
However, this inability to swim is compared to wild beasts. If Meng Yuqing is used as a comparison, Xuan Ke swims too fast.
Watching Xuan climb up the shell along the ladder rope in a depressed mood and curl himself up in a ball to sulk, Meng Yuqing sat beside him and touched the black panther's big head, silently comforting him.
After all, since he came to the Beast World Continent, he had never seen a Xuan Hunting return empty-handed. After a long time, Meng Yuqing spoke.
"Why don't you not chase them? After all, you're a land beastman, so it's normal that you can't swim faster than them. If they come to land, they definitely won't be able to outrun you. They might not even be able to stand up."
"Then how do we hunt? We can't always go ashore or to the island." Xuan's voice was muffled.
"How about trying fishing?" Meng Yuqing suggested.
His father is a fisherman. Although Meng Yuqing has no interest in fishing, he still knows a little about it. It's just that the "fish" in the sea are bigger.
