Comic strip: Survival on a deserted island, surrounded by heroines

The water blade flew out of his hand and precisely entered the mouth of the serpentine monster the instant it opened its mouth.

"puff--!"

The water blade shot into the mouth of the serpentine fish, cutting along its esophagus and tearing its body apart from the inside.

The serpentine fish suddenly straightened up and convulsed violently as if it had been electrocuted.

"Let me see."

Aoyama drew his hunting knife, cut open the belly of the serpentine fish, and confirmed that the water blade had completely destroyed its internal organs.

"Attack from within, and it is indeed more effective."

"Even level 7 defense can be broken, but you have to open your mouth first."

"These kinds of opportunities don't always come around."

For the next hour or so, an efficient hunt took place on the seabed, which also resembled a practical test of water-based manipulation.

"Water Blade - Rapid Fire!"

A deep blue water blade flew out, slicing a level 5 saber-toothed shark in half from the side.

Immediately following the second, a third water blade condensed and shot out.

The second cut was off, only shaving off a piece of the fish fin...

The third trajectory was more skewed, and its power was significantly reduced.

"After firing three shots in a row, my mental strength began to decline."

"You can't just fire water blades mindlessly in rapid succession; you have to control the rhythm."

I adjusted my breathing, waited two seconds, and then raised my hand again.

"Water Whip - Entangling!"

A slender whip of water shot out from the seawater and wrapped around the tail of a saber-toothed shark that was trying to escape.

The saber-toothed shark struggled violently, but the water whip broke in less than a second.

"Its strength is average; it can be used to harass the enemy."

Aoyama immediately changed his strategy.

"Water balloon - compression!"

A fist-sized, dark blue water droplet hit the shell of a giant crab, blasting a hole in it.

The crab didn't die immediately; it frantically scratched with its eight legs.

"It has penetrating power, but not enough internal damage."

"Try rotating it."

With fingers clenched, the water sphere in the palm began to spin rapidly, transforming into a deep blue diamond.

"Water drill—go!"

The drill hit a hole in the crab's shell, penetrated its body, and shredded its organs from the inside.

The giant crab froze, completely still.

"The spinning water blade has stronger penetrating power, but it is also more difficult to control. It almost fell apart in my hand just now."

"Water curtain—!"

A wall of water rose from the sea, trapping a group of ordinary fish inside.

Aoyama casually flicked out several water blades, reaping them one by one.

But they didn't stop, letting the water curtain continue to spin.

"Whirlpool—spin!"

The water wall gradually transformed into an underwater vortex, swirling the surrounding fish into a tangled mass. The fish were disoriented by the current and huddled together.

"It is effective for group targets, but it consumes more energy than a simple water curtain."

Then, he raised his left hand towards a charging Class 5 tiger shark.

"Water Shield - Freeze!"

A deep blue water shield formed in front of him. The tiger shark crashed into it, and the water shield shattered with a bang, but most of the impact was also dissipated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Aoyama added a water blade, cutting into the tiger shark's gills.

"The water shield can block one level 5 impact, but it only lasts for a very short time."

"You need to anticipate, not wait until the last minute to prepare."

Continue diving, hunting as you go, incorporating water manipulation into every movement. "Water Propulsion—Jet!"

High-pressure water jets are sprayed out from the palms, and combined with the jumping ability, the speed suddenly increases, like an underwater cannonball.

"Water Flow Sensing - Feedback!"

With eyes closed, the vibrations of the seawater indicate the prey's heartbeat and swimming direction, allowing for a half-second advance warning before attacking.

"Water Blade - Change of Direction!"

After the first water blade grazed the reef, I forcibly used my mental power to twist the water flow, causing the water blade to curve and cut into the prey's belly from the other side.

"Changing course is feasible, but it will double the mental energy consumption."

More than an hour later, Qingshan had a clearer understanding of the boundaries of water attribute manipulation.

Seawater is rich in water elements, and the rate of water accumulation is much faster than on land, so there is almost no need to worry about replenishment.

However, once it involves continuous release and meticulous maintenance, mental energy is rapidly depleted, like being peeled from a cocoon.

"call--!"

The green hills parted the water's surface, and the prey was dragged ashore and piled up into a small mountain on the raft.

"Today's harvest is better than the previous two days."

Although ordinary creatures made up the majority of the population, the harvest was still quite plentiful.

More importantly, it clarified the limits of water attribute manipulation in actual combat.

"This ability is really useful."

Qingshan gazed at the sea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Chapter 338: How much space does that guy occupy in your heart?

Two days later.

"Hui! Hui!"

Michiru's voice came from the stream, carrying a mixture of anxiety and excitement.

Kato Megumi put down the wicker basket she was weaving and stood up to walk towards the stream.

Two days is enough time to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the area and to adapt to any unexpected situations.

Kato Megumi saw Michiru squatting in the stream, her shorts rolled up to her thighs, holding something in her hand, her face full of surprise.

"Look! I caught it!"

Michiru held a palm-sized crab in her hand; its bluish-brown shell gleamed in the sunlight, and its two claws were waving wildly.

"..."

Kato Megumi stared at the crab for three seconds.

“Stream crab.” Calmly.

"Is it edible?"

"can."

"Great!"

Michiru almost jumped, slipped, and nearly fell into the water, but luckily Kato Megumi reacted quickly and pulled her back.

"Be careful."

"Hehe, thank you, Hui!"

Michiru straightened up and carefully examined the crab in front of her.

"I was washing my feet when something popped out from under the stone and pinched my toes."

"Are you brave or not?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head: "You got caught?"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Michiru stretched out her left foot, and sure enough, there was a red mark on her big toe.

"But I didn't let it get away; I'm a professional at catching crabs!"

"..."

Kato Megumi's lips curled slightly as she looked at Michiru's smug expression.

"Go back and bandage it."

"Just a little scratch!"

Michiru waved her hand.

"Let's go back and cook crabs, it'll be an extra meal today!"

When the two returned to the camp, the sun was high in the sky.

The camp looks quite different from what it did two days ago.

On the open ground next to the cave, Kato Megumi built a more regular stove platform with stones, and placed a triangular support made of three sharpened bamboo poles on top.

A row of bamboo containers was neatly stacked beside the fire; the large ones were for holding water, the small ones were for making cups, and a few were specifically for cooking.

The cave was lined with thick layers of dry grass, and a simple curtain was woven from bamboo and vines at the entrance.

"Megumi, how do we prepare the crabs?" Michiru squatted down by the fire, carrying crabs.

"Wash it clean first, then cook it."

Kato Megumi took a clean bamboo tube and poured water into it.

"No need to remove the shell, just cook it whole."

"Leave it to me!"

Michiru ran to the stream with the crab, squatted down, and carefully scrubbed the crab shell with a brush-like blade of grass.

She washed it very carefully, muttering as she did so, "Let me pinch you, let me pinch you, I'll cook you and eat you later!"

Kato Megumi watched her retreating figure and took out the leftover pheasant meat from yesterday's basket.

That pheasant from two days ago took two meals to finish.

The last piece of breast meat was smoked by Kato Megumi and hung on a bamboo pole at the entrance of the cave, so that it could be preserved for a few more days.

"Megumi, it's all washed!" Michiru ran back and handed the crab to Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi caught the crab and gently tapped its shell a few times with a stone knife.

Then put it into a bamboo tube, add water, and put it on a fire.

Michiru squatted down beside her, resting her chin on her hands as she watched Kato Megumi operate the device.

"Hui, I've noticed something has changed in the last two days."

"What has changed?"

"I can't say..." Michiru tilted her head.

"Do you feel more proficient now?"

Looking at the earnest expression on the face of the beautiful girl Kato Megumi, Michiru sighed:

"The more I understand, the more impressive I realize it is."

"When I was in school, I was always quiet and had no presence."
