Chapter 19 - Liuwei Dihuang Pill

"You must have listened to that person's nonsense. You said the great martial artist was in urgent need, and it was certain that the price would drop. Now, it not only didn't drop, but the price has returned to the original level!"

"Exactly. The one who talked nonsense before, come out! I haven't obtained water and food for two days, and my inventory is almost used up! It's all your fault!"

"Those who bought before made a profit! Now, it takes double the supplies to exchange for water and food."

"Alas, forget it. There are all tears when talking about it. Let's quickly fish for the supply box!"

"Yeah, it's so cool. It would be a pity not to move around!"

"I don't think it's just cool. It's a bit cold, actually."

"Brother, are you suffering from kidney deficiency? How about learning about Liuwei Dihuang Pill!"

"You can make a dirty joke no matter what the topic is! Seriously, it is indeed a bit cold today."

"What are you still hesitating for? Let's act quickly. Life is...

In the continuous trembling, the control of the heat is just right, and the ingredients will never be burned black due to single-sided roasting.

It's not because of the cold. It's the lingering effect of the fierce battle with the iron spear yesterday! Until now, her arms are still extremely sore.

"If there are strange sea beasts attacking again today, it will be really bad." An Ran frowned and murmured as she looked at her trembling arms.

However, the world is ruthless and won't show special favor just because of your hard work!

"Zhengzheng, warning: The island foundation is being attacked!"

An Ran let out a sigh, tightly grasped the iron spear with her trembling hand, and quickly walked towards the attacked foundation stone as shown on the island tablet.

An ordinary sea fish is fiercely pecking at the foundation stone!

An Ran tried her best to steady her hands and stabbed at the sea fish with force.

"Whoosh!"

As expected, she missed. An Ran's body swayed, and she almost fell into the sea!

The sea fish was startled, swam around, and then came back to continue attacking the foundation stone.

An Ran waved the spear and stabbed again, but missed once more!

She tried again, but still didn't hit it!

She tried again, but still got nothing!

...

Until the seventh attempt, "pū chī"

The iron spear finally stabbed the sea fish. An Ran dragged the iron spear onto the shore, and the fish struggled on the tip of the spear.

Her arms became even sorer!

"Finally, I got something." An Ran said with a bitter smile as she looked at the sea fish.

Returning to the wooden shed, she put on the feather cape she made before and wore a dress. The sea breeze blew, and she felt a slight chill.

Glancing at the island tablet, An Ran sent a message: "An Yue, Li Yan, Xiao Yi, if you see this message, please send me a private message!"

As if fate was playing a trick, at this moment, both An Yue and Xiao Yi left in a hurry because their island foundations were under attack.

After being treated by Xiao Yi, An Yue could walk without a crutch. Although he still walked a bit unsteadily, he could feel that he would recover soon.

A sea snake attacked An Yue's island. Just like An Ran's situation, it was difficult to stab the sea snake with the iron spear, and driving it away was also ineffective.

"Xiao Yi, there's a sea snake here. I can't stab it with the iron spear, and the fishing net can't trap it either." An Yue said, "Do you have any sharp weapon to deal with the sea snake?"

Wangcai reported in time. Xiao Yi quickly dealt with the attacking sea fish and then rushed back. Seeing An Yue's predicament, he immediately traded the long knife in his hand to An Yue.

"[Long knife]*1."

"This knife is extremely sharp. As long as you can wound the sea snake, you can drive it away!" Xiao Yi said.

An Yue immediately accepted the trade, held the knife, and fought again. The sea snake obviously didn't expect An Yue to have such a sharp weapon and was instantly cut into two pieces!

The severed sea snake swam towards the deep sea in a hurry, but its broken body couldn't move quickly and nimbly.

Seizing the opportunity, An Yue struck again, and the swaying sea snake was cut into two sections again.

This time, the sea snake was completely dead!

An Yue returned the long knife to Xiao Yi and said, "It seems that the sharper the weapon, the better!"

"Is it solved?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Yeah, I cut it in half with one strike!" An Yue replied.

"It seems that we need to prepare more sharp weapons in the future." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Exactly. When encountering strange sea beasts that the iron spear and fishing net can't handle, we need sharp weapons to wound them directly." An Yue said.

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Yi, I've found the tornado!" Yuan Nong sent a message in the group. Xiao Yi immediately became nervous: "Will we encounter it?"

The current reserves are not enough to withstand another tornado.

Yuan Nong shook his head and replied: "No, it's still far away from me. But the wind and waves nearby have become stronger, and I've stopped the ship with the SSS-level ship anchor!"

"Okay, pay attention to safety and keep an eye on the dynamics of the tornado at any time!" Xiao Yi reminded.

"Got it!" Old Yuan replied.

At this moment, Jiang Yuntian also spoke in the group.

"Xiao Yi, someone is following me." Jiang Yuntian said.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi was taken aback, "Is it the ship of other survivors?"

"Yes, a small wooden boat. Should I deal with it?" Jiang Yuntian asked casually.

"No, it's a waste of time! If the other party takes the initiative to attack, don't be polite." Xiao Yi replied.

"Understood!" Jiang Yuntian responded.

Yuan Nong witnessed a huge water column passing by from the southeast, creating towering waves.

He couldn't help but swallow hard. If his ship was still on the original route, it would probably be devastated!

Fortunately, Xiao Yi reminded him in time to change the route.

As the wind and waves gradually subsided, Yuan Nong retracted the ship anchor, adjusted the course, and continued sailing towards the island where Su Wan was.

"The tornado has passed. Thanks to Xiao Yi for asking me to change the route, otherwise we might have encountered it head-on." Yuan Nong said in the group.

"It's good that we avoided it!" Xiao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and switched to the public channel.

"Ah, that tornado is coming towards me. Help!"

"So unlucky? Quickly lie down or find something sturdy to hold onto!"

"I've cut down all the trees on my island. There's nothing left. What can I hold onto?"

"The island tablet! You can try hugging the island tablet!" Someone immediately suggested.

That person didn't hesitate to hug the island tablet. When the tornado hit, all the items on his island were swept into the sky, but the island tablet didn't move at all.

Because he hugged the island tablet tightly, he was lucky not to be swept away, but his arms and legs were scratched by other objects!

"Hey, brother, are you okay?"

"Hugging the island tablet is indeed useful, but I've been scratched by the debris swept up by the tornado now!"

"Then you have to clean the wound as soon as possible. Fortunately, the temperature isn't high now, or it will be easy to get infected."

"I don't know how to clean it. All my things have been swept away by the tornado!" The person was on the verge of tears.

This is really dangerous. Even the most basic fishing net has been swept away.

All the survivors shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless.

After the tornado, a downpour followed. Although it didn't last long, it solved the problem of fresh water to a certain extent.

The sales of Xiao Yi's boiled water also dropped accordingly.

Seeing that there was nothing else to deal with, Xiao Yi walked out of the apartment and came to the foot of the back mountain, planning to spear a few fish from the freshwater river for lunch.

The water in the mountain flows continuously. When collecting weapons before, he got a fish spear, and it's just right to use it now.

In the martial arts world, if a black-scaled crocodile gets into the fishpond, other fish will probably be doomed!

Perhaps because there is no one hunting it, this black-scaled crocodile thought it was the king of the water area and had no precautions. It was stabbed by Xiao Yi with a spear!

"Obtained supplies: Snakehead fish (Grade C) * 10.25 jin."

The snakehead fish is the scientific name of this crocodile.

Xiao Yi looked at the level and exclaimed: "Did the system refresh it, or did they evolve on their own?"

"Both are possible." The system replied.

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I see. For lunch today, I'll satisfy my appetite with roasted crocodile meat!"

Although it's all grilled fish, the taste and texture of sea crocodile and freshwater crocodile are different.

Returning to the thatched cottage, he cleaned the black-scaled crocodile, pickled it with sea salt, fried it in oil, and then roasted it slowly over the charcoal fire.

While roasting the fish, Xiao Yi cut the forage and replenished the feed for the chicken coop and the cattle pen.

The chicken coop now produces nearly three hundred eggs a day, and the clucking sound never stops.

He selected the fertilized eggs, kept one hundred and sixty of them, and put away the rest.

"There are so many eggs. How can I consume them? They will go bad if stored for too long." Xiao Yi was quite worried.

If someone knew he was troubled by this, they would surely say: "Give them to me, and I'll help you solve it!"
