The giant crab waved its sharp pincers, as if warning Jiang Yuntian. However, Jiang Yuntian responded with a cold laugh and resolutely stepped into the threat!
The fierce waving of the crab's legs was in vain under Jiang Yuntian's movement technique. He nimbly dodged, and with the flashing of the knife, each of the giant crab's pincers was cut off! Even though it had lost all its pincers, the giant crab still struggled on the deck, while Jiang Yuntian turned and walked into the cockpit.
"Xiao Yi, the matter is solved!" Before Jiang Yuntian finished speaking, he sent a photo of the crab's pincers to the group.
"[Pincers of the Giant Crab]*1. Were there such strange beasts in our previous world? There are probably really some strange creatures in this world!" Jiang Yuntian said.
"It's true!" Yuan Nong quickly replied, "Its scientific name is the giant crab. Its leg span can be up to four meters. It inhabits the deep sea, and its pincers are extremely sharp. It is said that fishermen were once dragged into the sea and devoured by it!"
"There really is such a thing. I'm lacking in knowledge!" Jiang Yuntian exclaimed.
"However, it's hard to predict if there are other strange beasts that we haven't seen in this world!" Yuan Nong replied with a bitter smile, "After all, our arrival here is already a fantastical journey."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi let out a long sigh and said, "Who knows if there are any. But according to the rules of this world, even if there are, they won't appear at this moment."
Yuan Nong and Jiang Yuntian nodded in agreement. The challenges of surviving in this world escalate gradually.
"You two should be more careful. I hope there won't be any more marine creatures disturbing my island." Xiao Yi said.
"You've been attacked four times already!" Jiang Yuntian said.
Xiao Yi nodded in acknowledgment, "That's right. It seems that the rules of this world limit the size of personal islands."
"It's really hard to fathom the intentions of this world!" Yuan Nong sighed.
"Let's focus on the immediate matters!" Xiao Yi said, "Old Yuan, you must pay attention to whether that whale is still chasing."
"Okay!" Yuan Nong responded.
After all, the S-class purified water is not infinite. The best strategy is still to eliminate the danger invisibly, just like Jiang Yuntian did.
However, for Yuan Nong, hunting a whale is simply impossible! If he can't defeat it, he can only avoid it.
Jiang Yuntian had gone to deal with the water in the cabin. Before that, due to the sudden attack of the giant crab, he had been dealing with the water and had no time to confront it head-on.
As soon as he repaired the hull, Jiang Yuntian rushed out and confronted the giant crab head-on and subdued it.
In fact, Jiang Yuntian had a good chance of winning in a direct confrontation. However, the marine creatures lurked underwater, and he didn't have detection equipment, so he couldn't predict their movements and could only detect them when he was attacked.
Xiao Yi didn't dare to move too far away. When dealing with the attack on the foundation just now, Jiang Yuntian was almost in danger!
He had decided that if there were more attacks on his foundation by marine creatures, he would choose to give up the foundation.
Although the foundation was lost, he could still continue to fish and collect. If his friends were gone, he would truly have nothing left!
He once again reminded the two to pay attention to safety and keep in touch at any time.
After that, Xiao Yi switched to the trading hall and frantically collected basic supplies, mainly wood, planks, iron, and copper.
He doubled the amount of sea fish and plain water required to trade these supplies.
This meant that the same supplies could now be exchanged for double the water and food.
In the public channel, there were still a few people complaining about their islands being attacked by marine creatures, but there weren't many. Most people seemed to have survived the crisis.
As soon as Xiao Yi's transaction of collecting basic supplies was posted, the public channel immediately became abuzz with discussion.
"What's going on? The big shot is collecting wood and metal again!"
"That's right. The same supplies can now be exchanged for double the water and food."
"What is this big shot doing?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to exchange for some water and food quickly. I opened two supply boxes today, but there was no water or food in them." "Yeah, I opened three boxes and didn't get any water or food either. It seems that the probability of getting them has decreased."
"Right, exchange quickly!"
"Do you think that since the probability of getting water and food has decreased, and the big shot has increased the cost of trading basic supplies, is it because he has encountered a sudden situation that requires a large amount of basic supplies?"
"It's very possible!"
"Then shouldn't we wait? Maybe the big shot will increase the trading cost, and we can exchange for more water and food?"
"That makes sense. Then you wait slowly! I can't wait any longer!"
Although some people were indeed waiting for Xiao Yi to raise the price again, more people chose to trade immediately.
At this time, on a small island of only six square meters, a girl in a white dress stared at the purchase of basic supplies in the trading market with wide eyes in surprise.
"Why haven't I seen such a big shot before? How does he have so many sea fish and plain water?" The girl thought, "And there seem to be many unfamiliar IDs in the public channel."
She was already familiar with the IDs of those who often spoke in the public channel, but there seemed to be more people now?
"Could this be the new friends mentioned in the island monument's prompt?" The girl frowned and thought.
Despite her doubts, she didn't hesitate to take out her supplies and exchanged for a lot of sea fish and plain water.
"Dad, Mom, where are you? Why can't I get in touch with you?"
"I don't know if he has come to this world. I hope not. This world is too cruel!"
The girl looked at the boundless sea and let out a soft sigh.
If Xiao Yi could see this girl, he would definitely jump up in excitement!
Because this girl in a white dress was An Ran, whom he had been thinking about day and night!
Although An Ran was a rich girl, An Yue had been strict in her education. Besides studying, she had never slacked off in physical training.
An Yue always believed that no matter what one does, one needs to have a strong physique.
After coming to this world, An Ran, with her own efforts, had successfully survived the first two weeks, though it had been difficult.
She had been looking for her parents, but she never got a response. The lack of news for two weeks made her want to give up.
Xiao Yi had been busy with the sailing affairs of Yuan Nong and Jiang Yuntian, and his own island had been attacked repeatedly, so he hadn't posted a message on the island monument to look for An Ran.
Otherwise, An Ran might have already seen Xiao Yi's message.
An Yue had sent a message, but it was quickly drowned out by new messages, and An Ran had been busy fishing for supply boxes at that time and missed it!
There were many survivors speaking, and no one would look through the chat records for no reason. If they really wanted to, it would take a whole day to go through them!
After the transaction was completed, An Ran's island monument suddenly prompted: "Attention: The island foundation is being attacked..."
An Ran immediately stood up, grabbed the iron spear beside her, and rushed out!
Xiao Yi sat in front of the island monument, watching everyone's enthusiastic discussion about the water and food he had put up for trade. The trading hall was filled with transactions...
In the hustle and bustle of the martial arts world, Xiao Yi left a message in the group chat: "An Ran, if you see this, come and private message me immediately!"
However, this message was quickly drowned out by numerous other messages and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Yi helplessly waved his feather fan and looked at the originally empty armory gradually filling up. He thought to himself: With these supplies, I can last for a while!
Jiang Yuntian and Yuan Nong had to endure the attacks of sea beasts from time to time. Fortunately, the recent attacks were not as fierce as before. With the help of the island monument to repair and taking advantage of the wind to get rid of the sea beasts, they could stay safe.
Since the fourth attack by sea beasts, Xiao Yi's island hadn't been troubled by such attacks. "My island covers an area of 2,424 square zhang and has been attacked four times. There must be a cause-and-effect relationship between these two things." Xiao Yi thought to himself. However, he had no clue about the specific reason. After all, the information he had was limited, and it was difficult to find the connection.
