Others try to survive on an island, I try to survive on a raft?

Chapter 153 The Incredibly Cunning Sea Beast

Thinking back to what just happened, that's indeed the case.

This giant crocodile was incredibly slow after entering the water; normally, even marine mammals shouldn't be this slow.

It's probably because they saw Su Jin's Ark as a formidable opponent and considered it a rival of equal strength.

As a result of their intimidation, Su Jin took it as a huge threat and sent them away with 10 cannons.

All I can say is that this sea monster was really unlucky.

He could have simply dragged away the two prey that Su Jin had hunted, but instead he had to come up and intimidate them, and then he lost his life.

Although the story sounded quite bizarre and a bit dramatic, Zhou Ping and his two companions couldn't laugh at all.

If they had been a moment later, they would have been sent away.

Having survived the ordeal, they were finally able to board the ship. As the Ark slowly sailed away, the island where they had been gradually disappeared from their sight.

At this moment, Su Jin walked over and extended a hand to Zhou Ping.

"Welcome aboard the Ark, gentlemen."

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he made the steel and wood tree trunk next to him disappear and submitted it directly to the system, leaving only one tree.

In addition, he also just looked for flax, which is also found on this island. The three of them did a good job and harvested a sufficient amount.

Zhou Ping looked at Su Jin's hand, his feelings were a bit complicated, but in the end he still took the hand in his.

"Thank you, Captain, for taking us in; otherwise, we would be dead by now."

Zhou Xiaoxi and Zhu Lihong also thanked them quickly, but they were a little exhausted and couldn't stand up right away, so they could only pant on the ground.

Su Jin chuckled, a little embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I'm the one who's late. We agreed on two days, but I'm only arriving now. Luckily, I'm not too late."

Suddenly, he remembered that Sun Daqing was still on Forest Island.

He waved his hand, pulled Li Yuanyuan over and said, "This is our head chef. Ask her for some food and drinks to replenish your supplies. Get to know the situation on the ship gradually, and we'll talk about it later."

After saying that, he prepared to rush back to Forest Island to bring Sun Daqing back.

However, he was least worried about that little fat boy.

Clearly, his guess was correct; Sun Daqing had already obediently buried himself in the ground.

But he was special; Mu Qing and the others, far away in the south, were not so lucky.

Deep in the dense rainforest, the sky was so dark it looked like it was about to collapse, and large raindrops pattered on the broad-leaved plants, making a disturbing sound.

"Shh, have some sense! There's a wild boar up ahead, weighing about 200 pounds!"

"If we send them back, we can make half into barbecue and half into jerky, which will be enough for us to eat for a long time."

"Perhaps Captain Su enjoys this kind of wild game, and we can trade it for some good stuff!"

Zhao Dezhu lowered his voice, gripping the iron axe tightly in his hand, his face full of excitement.

If he can get rid of this pig, his prestige within the team will rise to a new level.

However, just as everyone was preparing to flank them, a thin young man walking on the far side suddenly stopped.

"Huh? There's some movement in the bushes over here—"

He curiously peered over, thinking it was some small creature like a wild rabbit.

"puff!"

A very faint thud, like a needle piercing flesh.

Before anyone could react, they saw a long, pink, barbed object pierce through the thin young man's chest in an instant.

Before the unfortunate guy could even scream, he was dragged into the bushes by a tremendous force.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling chewing sound came from the bushes, and everyone's face seemed to be under a spell of fear.

Equally pale.

"What is that?!"

Zhao Dezhu was so frightened that he took two steps back, almost dropping the axe in his hand.

"Croak!"

With a strange croaking sound, a huge monster leaped out of the bushes.

It has a smooth, fish-like body, but four thick, short legs, and a flat head, resembling a giant salamander.

Its mouth stretched all the way to its ears, and a human hand was hanging down from its mouth, twitching weakly.

And that long, blood-stained tongue was waving in the air, as if licking its lips.

This thing is incredibly sneaky!

"A sea monster! It's a sea monster!"

The crowd erupted in chaos, and Zhao Dezhu turned pale, instinctively wanting to turn and run.

Just then, a burly young man suddenly stepped forward and blocked the way for the crowd.

He was the person in the team who ate the most sea monster meat besides Zhao Dezhu; his name was Li Qiang.

"What's the panic! We have weapons!"

Li Qiang roared, his eyes bloodshot. The surge of power made him feel like Superman, and that no matter what kind of trashy sea monster came, it would have to kneel down.

"I ate a third-tier sea beast's meat today, and then a whole bunch of low-level meat. Now I'm so strong that even the people of my motherland have to call me 'Dad.' And I have weapons too, so what's there to be afraid of!"

He suddenly raised the iron axe in his hand, assuming a posture of gathering strength, and then a faint white light seemed to condense on the axe blade.

This is his talent: [Charged Strike].

He can charge up his attack to make it much larger and more powerful, but he will be in a weakened state for a short time after using it.

"Captain, let's attack together and kill this beast to eat!"

Zhao Dezhu abruptly pulled back the leg that had already stepped out.

Looking at Li Qiang's god-like demeanor, his mind raced.

Is this kid that fierce?

If he could really kill this monster, he would have a lot to brag about in front of Mu Qing.

The meat of the sea monsters they hunt themselves will surely boost morale and pave the way for future glory!

"Alright! Qiangzi, you lead the attack, we'll provide support from the sidelines!"

Zhao Dezhu spoke well, but his body betrayed him by shrinking back, finding a big tree for cover, and taking out his homemade wooden bow to pretend to be a ranged archer.

It's reasonable for archers to stay far away.

Li Qiang, however, was thrilled by the shout of "Qiangzi" and charged at the four-legged frogfish with a roar.

The monster's tongue shot out again, moving with lightning speed, heading straight for Li Qiang's head.

"Be careful!"

A quick-thinking teammate nearby raised his sickle and chopped it down on the tongue.

"clang!"

But the blow felt like it had struck a steel plate; the immense recoil caused the man's hand to split open, and the sickle was sent flying to the side.

However, this attack did indeed injure the monster, causing it to retract its tongue in pain and let out a chilling scream.

The opportunity is coming!

"Lie down!"

Seizing the opportunity, Li Qiang leaped high into the air, his axe flashing with a dazzling white light, and slashed down fiercely!

This axe strike was incredibly powerful; it split the monster's head in two, almost cleaving it in two.

"We won!" the crowd shouted.

However, the next second, a strange phenomenon occurred, and Li Qiang's smile froze on his face forever.
