Chapter 40 Killing the Shark



Seeing this, Jiang An realized what was gnawing at the raft.

Take out a bow and arrow from the backpack and nock an arrow.

Yes, she had already decided to deal with the shark after she understood the situation.

Jiang An believes that tonight's shark attack is just the beginning. The shark is gnawing at his raft, which means it lives in the nearby waters. Rather than enduring its constant disturbance, it's better to make a clean break and deal with it now.

Jiang An quietly opened the door, holding a bow and arrow, and moved silently on the raft, trying her best not to let the sharks discover her presence and launch a surprise attack.

As she stepped forward, the shark's true form came into view.

The shark's body is hidden underwater, with only its huge head and sharp teeth visible above the water.

The shark seemed oblivious to Jiang An's approach, continuing to intently gnaw on the raft.

She moved forward cautiously, each step showing extreme care.

She slowly approached the target, finally entering her firing range.

She quickly drew her bow and arrow, her eyes gleaming, and aimed at the shark's enormous head.

Jiang An took a deep breath and then fired an arrow with all his might. The arrow flew out like lightning and instantly pierced the shark's head.

The excruciating pain from the arrow caused the shark to thrash wildly in the water, as if it wanted to overturn the entire ocean.

In an instant, Jiang An's raft was violently struck, shaking so violently that one feared it might fall apart at any moment.

However, she didn't pay attention to any of that. Instead, the instant she fired the first arrow, another arrow suddenly appeared in her hand. Without hesitation, she nocked it onto the bowstring, drew it back taut, and then fired the second arrow, the third arrow...

The shark's breath grew weaker and weaker, and its rolling speed gradually slowed down, but it was still struggling painfully, trying to escape its fate of death.

Jiang An put the bow and arrows into his backpack, took out a sharp Tang sword, and strode towards the direction where the shark was.

Just then, the shark seemed to suddenly realize its predicament, turned around abruptly, and began to flee desperately.

Jiang An keenly sensed the shark's movements and immediately quickened her pace, rushing towards the shark like a whirlwind.

When she was close enough, she raised her Tang sword high and, with all her might, plunged it into the shark's head.

The approach of death drove the sharks even more mad, but none of this could deter Jiang An.

After a long while, the shark fell silent after its final strike, floating on the surface of the sea, its blood staining the surrounding waters red.

Jiang An collapsed onto the raft, panting heavily.

[Congratulations to player Jiang An for successfully resolving the first crisis!]

[A reward stone chest has been sent to your inventory and can be retrieved at any time.]

[Shark discovered, should it be decomposed?]

"Yes," Jiang An said, wiping the blood off his face with his sleeve.

[Ding! Decomposition successful! 20 kg of shark meat (Excellent grade) and 20 shark skins harvested!]

Jiang An looked at the entry in front of him, "?" "What does 'excellent-grade fish meat' mean?"

However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue; let's put the shark meat in a separate compartment.

He then took the stone box out of his backpack.

I opened it without hesitation.

[Gains: Basic Smell Skill, 2 Soil (Fertile), 60 Copper Coins (Rechargeable), Level 5 Upgrade Blueprint!]

[Ding! Basic olfactory skill detected. Do you want to learn it?]

"yes."

After learning, she found that the smell of blood all over her body was very pungent and unbearable. Jiang An was both amused and exasperated, wondering whether the enhanced sense of smell was a good thing or a bad thing.

At this moment, she didn't bother to check the remaining items in the stone box. She put them directly into her backpack, went to the kitchen, and lit a fire to boil water.

Take a hot bath.

I changed into my pajamas.

Wash away the blood that had spilled onto the raft.

[Ding! The raft has been damaged. Do you wish to repair it using 50 wood blocks and 10 iron?]

"Yes?" Jiang An replied with obvious heartache. In the short time it had taken for the shark to gnaw at the raft, so many materials had been needed to repair it.

And what about those players who are too cowardly to fight the sharks? How many of them will be eaten by the sharks? Could it be all of them?

I took an apple and a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator and went back to my bedroom.

Open the stone box.

Take out the Level 5 upgrade blueprint from it.

She carefully placed the upgrade blueprint in her backpack. Jiang An didn't have enough materials to upgrade to level 5 yet, so she didn't need it right now, but its importance was self-evident. Even though it took up a slot, she put the upgrade blueprint in her backpack.

As for the soil, there was no rush; she casually put it into a separate small box.

[Ding! Copper coins found. Recharge?]

"yes."

[Ding! Top-up successful. The in-game store is not yet open. Please stay tuned!]

'So, it seems that copper coins were currency.'

She was really looking forward to the soon-to-open mall and was eager to know what would be inside, including skill books.

Jiang An desperately wanted the skill book, since no one can ever have too many skills. Unfortunately, the chances of getting one from opening chests were slim, and no player was willing to sell it in the trading channel.

... ...

Day 7 of survival at sea: Rain, Temperature: 10℃-0℃

Jiang An woke up promptly at 8 o'clock and felt a chill the moment she lifted the covers.

Wearing thermal underwear and then a women's windbreaker on top made me feel much better.

[Ding! Hello, dear players!]

[After a 6-day survival game at sea, we believe you are already familiar with the rules!]

Today is the last day of the 7-day safe period!

[The game will officially begin at 00:00. The game's name is - Frostbite, and it will last for 15 days!]

[The game will undergo some minor changes; please explore them on your own!]

[Please upgrade your raft and prepare supplies as much as possible on the last day!]

Finally, we wish all players a pleasant gaming experience!

After uttering the last word, the voice disappeared completely.

Jiang An's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
