National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

"Are we just leaving like this?"

Aurora patted the large pile of cloud moss she had collected and asked with some concern.

These fluffy, soft plants, like those on sheep, make excellent mattresses or stuffing.

"They're not very strong... What if another predator like the Shadow-Eating Bamboo appears..."

"That's natural selection."

He said calmly.

"Adaptation or extinction, it's the same for them, and for us."

He eliminated the most direct threat to this cloud-velvet tundra, giving it a chance to breathe; this was already a stroke of good fortune.

Ivan patted Aurora hard on the shoulder.

"That's right! Think about it, if our ancestors had just been waiting to be fed in caves every day, we wouldn't have anything to do now. We have to get to work, and that's all!"

"Maybe next time we come back, there really will be a 'sheep village' here?"

[Goodness, we've got a sheep village now, but aren't we missing a wolf whose catchphrase is "I'll be back!"?]

[Don't go any further, you still need a wife with a frying pan!]

[Shadow Wolf: I'll be back! (Gets blasted away)]

[By the way... is this place a map or an illusion like the one in Golden Anchor Town?!]

At this moment, Renyi is also thinking about this question.

If we ignore this absurd setting and only look at the physical rewards, kill rewards, and materials obtained...

This place is so real it couldn't be more real.

but,

The way they actually passed through that "dimensional portal" to get here suggests that this place is more like an "expansion pack" for a game.

A world that was forcibly pieced together!

Ocean Era, Hydra, Nyarlathotep...

"What... exactly do you want to do?"

He rubbed his chin haphazardly, trying to connect the logic of this world with the system of his own evolutionary ship.

"Boss, I'm almost dried out."

A plaintive voice interrupted Renyi's reverie.

Sean, with a droopy tail, was sitting on the ship's railing at some point.

He irritably ran his fingers through his bald head:

"The fur is practically matted!"

With the ship on land, the circulatory system cannot convert fresh water from the air, so when it doesn't rain, the stored fresh water is used up little by little, and it must be given priority for drinking, making bathing a luxury again.

Even Nathan and Renyi, who were covered in grass juice after scouting back, simply wiped themselves off.

Fortunately, it wasn't something that smelled bad or spoiled easily.

But the one suffering the most was Sean—

He is a fish.

A fish that needs to be kept moist by occasionally getting it wet...

"If this keeps up, I'll turn into dried fish!"

"Dried fish can be used as a reserve food," Ren Yi replied without changing his expression.

Jokes aside, the problem still needs to be solved.

Of course, Ren Yi wouldn't actually dry Sean out; he was quite a formidable fighter in the sea.

He thought for a moment, then took out a deep blue stone and tossed it to Sean.

The mermaid instinctively caught the stone.

The oval-shaped stone was blue and quite pretty. He could sense some energy within it, but he couldn't use it.

What does this mean?

"Spiritual nourishment," the captain explained sincerely. "Seeing familiar objects evokes memories of home, which provides spiritual comfort."

"..."

"When you feel it's about to crack from drying out, take it out and look at it, touch it."

"..."

"Feel the call of the sea and you won't be thirsty anymore... because physical dehydration is only temporary, but spiritual satisfaction is eternal."

Sean held the [Sea Soul Stone] in his hand, the azure light reflecting on his handsome but bald face. His expression shifted from bewilderment to numbness, as if fate had seized him by the throat.

【Sea Soul Stone (Rare)】

[Review: This is for a homesick fish; it's an even more effective way to induce depression—it contains the breath of the deep sea. PS: But guess what? Hey, it can't even get a sip!]

"puff......"

Isn't this just like drawing a cake to satisfy hunger or looking at plums to quench thirst?

Sean stared at Ren Yi for a long time before finally letting out a helpless sigh.

Then try closing your eyes and imagining yourself floating on a clam in a deep blue kingdom, surrounded by soft seaweed and ornamental fish bubbling away...

"How are you feeling?"

"...It's a little bit better." Sean smacked his lips, savoring the air. "It's just that the seawater is a bit bland, and it smells like grass."

The captain went into the observation cabin with satisfaction. Good, the guy who raised the question had been dealt with.

"Puff puff puff puff—"

The rabbits once again took joyful little steps, carrying the Abyss and leaping towards the unknown future.

Sean's clam shell was also damaged in the recent sun spa.

Since he didn't want to live in the cabin, Ren could only have a large, transparent fish tank recessed into the deck for him.

Unfortunately, there is no water available at the moment.

As we walked until dawn, the smell in the air changed again... It was no longer the fresh, moist smell of moss, but rather a hint of earth and a cool, crisp scent.

Luigi, who was on night watch, suddenly stood up, leaning on the gunwale, startling the drowsy Ivan.

"What's wrong?"

"Look!"

The pure white expanse of Cloud Velvet Tundra had disappeared behind us, and the sound of rabbits hopping under the boat changed from "plop plop plop" to "da da da".

Before Ivan could even breathe a sigh of relief from his worries about snow blindness,

What appeared before my eyes was an even more bizarre and surreal scene.

A forest?

A forest... completely polluted by light?

......

"The boat can't get in; the trees are too close together."

The ship stopped at the edge of the forest, and everyone gathered on the deck again.

The tree trunks here are a translucent blue-green color, and the bark and other parts are all there, but you can see the internal veins through the bark.

The leaves are also translucent, but as hard as a glass ornament.

"break down."

Decomposition failed.

Ivan found a slightly thinner tree trunk to measure against, then climbed up and performed a giant swing—

"Bang!"

The tree didn't seem to sway at all, but the leaves on it did tremble.

"Splash, splash—"

The crisp sound is melodious, like a wind chime.

Immediately afterwards, the leaves that seemed to be welded to the branches all fell off with their tips pointing downwards!

Just as Ivan was about to look up to see what was going on, he heard a gasp:

"Ivan!"

"!"

He subconsciously hid his worries behind his head—

"Jingle bells!!!"

The crisp, dense sounds of impact blended together, and sparks flew overhead.

Fortunately, the current [Heart's Desire] axe is large enough to withstand most of the attacks on vital points. After suffering countless cuts on his limbs, Ivan finally retreated from the range of that 'tree' canopy.

The nun healed the wounds immediately.

The "rain of knives" came quickly and went quickly, stopping after the tree canopy became bare. The spot where Ivan had just stood was now covered with uniquely shaped leaves.

Like a... giant felt!
