"I wonder if the fruit on these is edible."
Lu Ban kicked the tree that was bearing several fruits.
"Don't come any closer! It's dangerous under this tree. If you're not careful, fruit will fall and hit you... Ouch!"
Before Lu Ban could finish speaking, he was hit on the head by a falling fruit.
"Are you...are you alright?!"
Amber jumped up in fright and rushed to Lu Ban's side. She saw that his head was bleeding profusely and looked quite serious.
"I, the Word of Salvation... the power to save..."
She was a little flustered, recalling the knowledge she had learned before, and didn't care that she was covered in blood.
However, Lu Ban quickly sat up.
His head was covered in blood, making him look somewhat ferocious and terrifying.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the grass has already grown."
Lu Ban reassured her, while patting his own head.
Grass has grown on the wound, and the grass even looks a bit like the leaves of that tree.
Amber's eyes widened as she stared at the grass on Lu Ban's head.
Lu Ban's bleeding stopped quickly. He washed his face with seawater and picked up the fruit that had cracked open his head.
It has to be said that Lu Ban's head is quite hard; he even managed to crack open a fruit that looked like it had a hard shell.
The flesh inside was exposed; it was white and juicy.
It's similar to a coconut.
Lu Ban smelled it, then reached out and tasted the pulp and juice inside.
The taste is very good.
He had never eaten a real coconut, only drunk the boxed coconut juice he had been drinking since childhood, so he didn't know if a real coconut tasted like this.
"Would you like some? This fruit should be good for hydration."
Lu Ban handed the fruit, which still had a little bit of his blood on it, to Amber.
"?"
Amber looked at the fruit that seemed to still contain some of Lu Ban's brain matter, and hesitated for a moment whether she should catch it.
"Oh, you think I've already had enough, right? No problem, I can have another one. Just go a little further away."
Lu Ban considerately told Amber to stand outside with the fruit in her arms.
He kicked the tree again, and after a while, another fruit fell down.
"The shells of this fruit can be kept and used as containers; you can use them to make fish soup or something in the evening."
Lu Ban used a knife to pry open the fruit shell, handed it to Amber, and then picked up the fruit that had smashed open his head and gulped down a big mouthful.
Amber looked at the fruit in her hand, hesitated for a moment, but decided to drink it for the sake of survival.
The taste was surprisingly good. After finishing the drink, Amber felt a little residue on the corner of her mouth and subconsciously licked it with her tongue.
"We don't know if there will be another storm, so we need to find a place to shelter from the storm."
Lu Ban looked at the clear sky. The weather was unpredictable where warm and cold currents met, not to mention that last night's storm was caused by the witch's words of power.
Moreover, there were other things that worried Lu Ban.
[Hostile invading chosen ones found: 1/2]
[Kill the hostile invading chosen ones: 1/2]
Clearly, there were two invading Chosen Ones. One of them had already been thrown into the sea by Lu Ban to feed the tentacle shadows, while the other seemed to have escaped the shadows' attack, or perhaps he wasn't even on the ship to begin with; in any case, he was still alive.
In normal circumstances, after such an accident, it would be hard not to believe that the amber had perished at sea.
However, the chosen ones on the other side have given them a mission notification, which means they clearly know that Amber is still alive. Therefore, they are very likely to send people to hunt her down, or even take action themselves.
Compared to wilderness survival, the Chosen Ones are more threatening.
Having gathered some fallen leaves and twigs to live on, Lu Ban was still studying the location of the island when he saw Amber looking around anxiously.
"Did you find anything?"
Lu Ban tensed up.
Perhaps the shrine maiden's senses are extraordinary, and she might be able to discover things that Lu Ban cannot.
Upon seeing Lu Ban approach, Amber became even more startled. She fidgeted and turned her face away shyly.
"Could there be something wrong with your health? Let me get checked out."
Perhaps the wound got infected in the seawater, or maybe the food she ate damaged her delicate stomach. With the idea of early detection and early treatment in mind, Lu Ban came closer to check Amber's body.
"No, no!"
Amber took two steps back.
"bathroom……"
She muttered a word under her breath.
"?"
A question mark appeared above my head.
So even shrine maidens need to use the toilet?
He also thought that such practitioners should have learned to transform food into essence and chakra, storing it as energy.
After all, Lu Ban himself no longer needs to excrete. The things he digests can be turned into fertilizer for photosynthesis. As long as there is sunlight, water and nutrients, it can be infinitely internally circulated without even causing excessive carbon emissions. It can be said to be quite environmentally friendly. Even if some environmental princess from Northern Europe came to beat him up, she wouldn't be able to find any problems.
"There are bushes over there."
Lu Ban pointed to the area near the woods.
"?"
Amber was stunned, her face turning completely red.
"Because human excrement can contaminate water and food, it's best to designate a separate area..."
Before Lu Ban could finish speaking, Amber picked up a piece of wood from the ground and hit him with it.
She immediately ran away and disappeared into the bushes.
"What a pity, it's clearly very practical wilderness survival knowledge."
Lu Ban said regretfully.
He caught a few fish from Lyca, and using the wilderness survival knowledge he had seen on TV, he made a device to collect fresh water. He also knocked down two fruits to make soup to replenish his nutrition and hydration and warm his body.
After doing all that, Lu Ban saw Amber return with a flushed face.
"Oh, right, I wasn't finished. You should bury it after you're done, because this particular smell might attract predators. So you should cover it with sand. That spot was downwind, so the sea breeze will quickly disperse the smell. If you don't know how to bury it, I'll come help you later..."
Snapped--
Lu Ban's head was hit by the wooden stick again.
He didn't know why Amber was like this; perhaps the pressure of surviving on a deserted island was too great.
In the evening, after enjoying a delicious soup made with fish and shellfish, Lu Ban was still studying the starry sky when he heard some strange sounds.
The sound seemed to come from deep within the island.
That voice sounded like...a person?
Chapter 343 The Advantage Lies With Me
Lu Ban was confident in his hearing; he was certain that it was a human voice.
"Could it be because...because it wasn't buried..."
Amber blushed, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
"Shhh."
Lu Ban made a shushing gesture and extinguished the flames.
"Let's go take a look."
He didn't leave Amber behind; instead, he took her with him.
Otherwise, it would be hilarious if a scenario like Lu Ban went to investigate, only to find that someone had stolen Amber from his base.
Amber's white socks were already dirty, leaving tiny footprints on the sand.
Lu Ban thought for a moment, then dragged a branch with leaves behind him, scrambling their footprints as he walked.
The island's forests are damp and wild, with thick spider webs and all sorts of strange insects visible between the treetops.
The ground, covered with damp, decaying leaves, was crawling with countless insects with every step. In addition, the calls of wild animals echoed through the forest, and the fluttering sounds of birds or other creatures came from the treetops overhead, making one increasingly uneasy.
This situation was very difficult for a young girl like Amber who had never experienced such things.
However, she was clearly already in the zone.
She rolled up her skirt, tied it in a knot, ignoring the dirt on her socks and the grime on her face, which was covered in mud and dust.
But Lu Ban thought it looked much better than when it was clean.
Perhaps everyone hopes to see the side of any woman who is pure as paper and aloof as ice fall from grace.
Amber did not become a burden; it made Lu Ban's movements much easier.
After walking for less than fifteen minutes, he saw a faint light shining through the sky ahead, which was the result of the light from the ground reflecting off the clouds.
It's obvious that there are people on this island.
Lu Ban recalled a movie he had seen before, in which the main characters were stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. After experiencing a series of heart-wrenching survival struggles and moral dilemmas, they discovered that there was a small town and a dock on the other side of their island.
It has a kind of realistic satire feel to it.
But Lu Ban knew very well that people living on islands far from the mainland were definitely not good people.
