After Lin Hu tossed a grape to Rose, he told it to pull a smaller octopus onto the raft.
With a "thud," the octopus was pulled high into the air by the rose vines and slammed onto the raft.
The octopus tried to fight back, but its eight legs were no match for the countless vines of the rose. Soon, its skin was pierced by the rose thorns, and the rose also injected toxins into its body through the piercings.
Lin Hu had already prepared his bow and arrows and was waiting on the side, but he didn't expect Qiangwei to be so good at fighting, which made things easier for him.
"Let me do the last one!" Lin Hu reminded him, since there was a chance he would get something after killing her, while killing Rose would only give him a crystal core.
Rose obediently loosened some of the vines, and Lin Hu took the Tang sword given to him by Duan Linzhou and stabbed her fiercely.
The octopus, which had been struggling violently, slowly stopped struggling at this moment.
Lin Hu thought to himself, "As expected of a rare weapon, it works really well, but the material requirements are too high, and it's easy to fail."
Duan Linzhou originally had nearly seven sets of materials, but only succeeded in three of them.
The two had originally planned to open a rare weapon shop, but due to limited materials, they had to give up on that idea for now and wait until they had enough materials before making any plans.
[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 8 edible octopus tentacles, 1 level 2 crystal core, 1 bubble, 1 black ink bead, experience points...]
Black ink beads?
Lin Hu clicked on the introduction:
[Black Ink Bead: Can be used when encountering danger at sea. It will produce a black mist with a diameter of 3 meters, allowing the user to orient themselves without being affected!]
It has a similar function to his oranges, but its range is not as wide, and it can only be used in the sea.
Fortunately, it can only be used in Haili, otherwise his oranges would be greatly devalued.
Lin Hu then examined what the bubbles were:
[Bubble: Collect 10 bubbles to craft a basic oxygen bead at the workbench!]
The oxygen beads didn't specify their function, but they seem to be exactly what they say. It looks like the system is about to be opened up for use.
But what's the difference between these low-grade and high-grade oxygen beads?
Is it about the duration of the protection period, or does it serve to protect players?
Lin Hu no longer bothered to investigate why the edible octopus tentacles were still edible despite being contaminated with rose toxins; since the system said they were edible, then they were edible.
Lin Hu then asked Qiangwei to catch a few more bubbles, each one working with one flower. They quickly collected ten bubbles and hurried back to the workbench to make them.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully crafting a low-level oxygen bead! Duration: 12 hours! Collect 30 oxygen beads to synthesize a medium-level oxygen bead!]
Matryoshka dolls?!
After he makes the intermediate level, how many intermediate oxygen beads will he need to collect to make the advanced level?
Lin Hu threw his things into the warehouse, planning to go out and make a big score. Judging from the distance, it would take at least three hours to get there.

"Are you here to ask for the medicine too?" An old man dressed in a black Tai Chi uniform with gray hair lay on a rocking chair and asked Duan Linzhou and the other two in a lazy voice and casual tone.
"Yes," Duan Linzhou nodded, responding politely.
"See those baskets? If you want the medicine, go dig up bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and exchange them for a drop of medicine. I'm only collecting 500 jin today. If I can't get back before dark, I won't collect any more." The old man closed his eyes, raised his palm-leaf fan, and casually pointed to a pile of baskets beside him.
He's already received many people today, all asking for medicine. For the polite ones, he sends people to dig bamboo shoots. For the unpleasant ones, he sends people to collect droppings from the bamboo grove. And for the even more unpleasant ones, he simply chases them away.
"good."
"OK."
The three of them each carried a basket on their backs and left.
Since some people had already gone to dig for bamboo shoots, the three decided to split up so they could dig up more bamboo shoots.
No sooner had Duan Linzhou and his group left than Qin Yaoyao and her brother found the old man.
The old man was also tired, so he casually waved his hand, letting the two of them go dig bamboo shoots on their own. Qin Yaoyao was about to get angry, but her brother Qin Yaowei stopped her.
He was quite good at reading people's expressions, and when the two of them came over, the old man clearly looked impatient.
If his silly sister did something stupid, he was certain that the old man had ways to deal with them.
The old man only refrained from kicking Qin Yaowei out because he saw that Qin Yaowei was sensible.
"Brother, I don't want to dig bamboo shoots, it's dirty and tiring." Qin Yaoyao stopped after the two had walked a distance, crossed her arms, and pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Yaoyao, be good, we need medicine." Qin Yaowei stopped and turned around to patiently comfort Qin Yaoyao.
"I don't care, I just don't want to dig. What if you get my skirt dirty?" Qin Yaoyao was wearing a pink and white checkered Chanel-style bodycon mini skirt, with long, wavy golden hair and a matching beret to cover her black hair.
Now she regrets not going to a hair salon to get some hair dye when she landed on the island in the extreme cold.
At that time, all she could see were clothes, bags, shoes, and cosmetics. She didn't take any food; she had to ask her parents and brother for everything.
"You can wash it when you get back. Without the medicine, it's hard to say whether you'll even survive. Yao Yao, we need to face reality." Qin Yaowei patiently reasoned with Qin Yao Yao. He really disliked this kind of spoiled princess.
This constantly reminds him of his wife, who turned into a zombie and was killed by him.
It's not love that makes me think of her, it's hate. Her family is rich and powerful, and I originally wanted him to marry into their family. Luckily, that woman is easy to fool, and a few sweet words are enough to coax her.
"Brother, aren't you here? Can't you help me dig?" Qin Yaoyao knew that as long as she acted cute, her family would give in to her and help her.
Qin Yaowei frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "Mom and Dad have to dig bamboo shoots themselves, what kind of spoiled princess are you throwing a tantrum?"
Qin Yaoyao was taken aback by Qin Yaowei's words; he had never said anything like that to her before.
Looking back a few days ago, Qin Yaowei began to intentionally or unintentionally distance himself from her. Whether she asked him for help or wanted to chat, he would say that he was busy with something.
Qin Yaoyao was afraid that her brother would really get angry, so she didn't dare to continue throwing a tantrum and obediently admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, brother. It's just that it's the first time I've done something like this, and I couldn't accept it all at once, so I acted like this."
"It's good that you know you've admitted your mistake. Let's go dig for bamboo shoots first, otherwise others will finish first." Qin Yaowei calmed himself down, reached out and rubbed the back of his younger sister's head, and said softly.
"Mmm." Qin Yaoyao lowered her eyes and nodded dejectedly.
When Lin Hu arrived at the island, he contacted Duan Linzhou and learned that he needed to find the old man to get a basket to dig bamboo shoots.
He told Duan Linzhou that he would go dig somewhere else, and told him the location of the raft before going to find the old man to get his basket.
After collecting his basket, Lin Hu wandered alone through the bamboo forest. His basket was already half full, and he didn't encounter anyone along the way.
I thought I would complete the mission smoothly, but I heard footsteps approaching from behind.
