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

Chapter 105 Treasure Display

Chapter 105 Treasure Display

On the deck, everyone stood in a circle, their eyes fixed on the purple tube that was over three meters long and had the texture of heavy alloy.

The king razor clam had been dragged along in the seawater, and the toxins that were originally attached to it had long been washed away.

At this point, even if you touch it directly with your hands, you won't have to worry about being corroded by chondrotoxin.

Li Yuanyuan curiously poked it with her finger, then immediately pulled it back.

"Wow, this razor clam king must have eaten so much meat to grow to this size!"

She hadn't noticed anything when she looked at it from a distance, but now that it was right in front of her, she realized that it was twice as long as her.

If it stood upright, it would be almost as tall as a building, like a main beam.

Su Jin was also beaming with health. He reached out and slapped the cold shell hard, producing a crisp clanging sound.

The sheer intensity of the echo immediately reveals an extremely dense internal structure.

nice one!

Every man dreams of owning a cannon, especially one as big and thick as this, with a purple paint job.

If we could really put it on the bow of the ship, let alone ordinary sea creatures, even those people would probably feel a bit intimidated when they saw it.

"Don't just stare at the shell, the meat from this peak third-tier meat is top-notch." Shen Qiaoqiao pointed to the remaining lump of pure white and lustrous meat inside the shell, her mouth practically watering.

"All you ever think about is eating!" Su Jin muttered speechlessly, but still turned to Shen Ruying and instructed, "Ruying, you need to process this later, separate the meat from the shell. The meat should add a lot of stats. Keep some for ourselves, and give the rest to Yuanyuan to refine into fish oil. Oh, right—"

He remembered that the key to killing the Clam King was the explosive charge on the harpoon crossbow bolt, which was made from the gallbladders of these shell-spraying beasts.

"Don't throw away the gallbladder inside. Keep it for Xiaoxuan to do research and see if she can invent a more efficient biological explosive. When we encounter a Tier 3 sea monster again, we'll use this to teach it a lesson."

Lin Xuan nodded. She had witnessed the entire effect of the explosive charge and it was indeed an excellent weapon, and the one known to cause the most damage to sea monsters.

Sure enough, using sea monsters to deal with sea monsters is the easiest way.

Su Jin's arrangements were meticulous, making the most of every part of the razor clam king, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

In this precarious world, these high-end goods are the key to survival.

Just as he was happily imagining the main gun firing, Shen Qiaoqiao poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

The little girl crossed her arms and walked around the giant purple shell twice. Finally, she looked at Su Jin with a bitter face and said, "Uncle, don't be so happy yet. I really have no idea what to do with this thing."

"What? Didn't you just say you could rub it?" Su Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Those are light red hatchling shells!" Shen Qiaoqiao scratched her head in frustration and said, "Those haven't grown up yet, they're barely touching the threshold of level 3. I can still manage to process them a little."

"But this purple one is a genuine Tier 3 material. Look at the texture and the hardness. Without my special forging hammer, let alone shaping it, even drilling a hole to fix it would be incredibly difficult."

She shrugged, looking helpless. "It's like you gave me a diamond, but all I have is a nail file. What am I supposed to do?"

"Without that hammer, this precious thing can only be used as a decoration for now. It looks impressive, but it's useless."

Su Jin's smile froze, then he let out a long sigh.

The feeling of having a mountain of gold but no spoon is indeed unpleasant, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Since the materials are already in my pocket, I'll get the iron ore needed for that hammer sooner or later anyway.

"Alright, let's move this precious decoration to the aft deck first. Now that the beach here is clean, let's go and retrieve yesterday's things."

Su Jin steered the ship slowly toward the beach where they usually rested.

Several people jumped off the boat and looked at the mess in front of them with some sighs.

The campsite, which was fairly tidy yesterday, is now covered in that orange-red slime.

Fortunately, none of the solid wood chairs and furniture that Shen Qiaoqiao had painstakingly made were lost, as those big guys weren't interested in wood.

Most of the firewood and wild fruit that Li Yuanyuan chopped and picked were still there, but the baskets of fresh mushrooms looked like they had been turned over by something, with several bite marks on them.

"Oh dear, my mushrooms!" Li Yuanyuan ran over with heartache, picking up a red and green mushroom that had been half-eaten. "How come these guys even eat vegetables?"

"I guess they took a couple of bites, realized it wasn't to their liking, and threw up." Su Jin glanced at the remnants on the ground and chuckled, comforting them, "Alright, don't worry about those few mushrooms. Our harvest today is more than a hundred baskets of mushrooms. Hurry up and move them; we still have to rush to Stone Island to find sulfur!"

The unloading work proceeded quickly, with everyone working together to load the supplies back onto the ship.

With these supplies, plus the blindingly bright purple cannon on the deck, the sailing ship finally looked a bit like home.

After doing all this, Su Jin prepared to sail to Stone Island, unaware that the island had been occupied by some sea monster.

Soon, he thought of something.

"Since sea creatures of the same kind will kill each other, do you think the same thing will happen on Stone Island?"

Su Jin stood at the bow of the ship, stroking his chin, his gaze fixed intently on the approaching Stone Island.

"After all, the root cause of the infighting is the lack of food."

"At least Forest Island has some animals and fruits, but Stone Island is mostly rocks and coal, with almost no living creatures. If the sea monsters there also gathered there, the fighting would probably be even fiercer than here."

Everyone listened with deep agreement, especially after witnessing the horrific scene of cannibalism, which made them all more tense.

The sailboat sailed forward with the wind, cutting through the waves, and before long, the barren rocky island came into view.

However, before the boat could get very close, everyone was startled by the dense black dots on the beach.

Unlike the blindingly red Carapace Beasts, those things were entirely black, looking like moving pieces of charcoal from a distance.

"What the hell is that thing? It looks like a giant salamander." Shen Qiaoqiao rubbed her eyes, her face full of disgust.

On the beach lay dozens or even hundreds of strange creatures with flat heads, four short, thick legs supporting their bodies, and broad, powerful tails.

The strangest thing is that these guys are frantically gnawing on the scattered black coal chunks, eating them with a crunchy gusto, looking exactly like a bunch of coal-eating monsters.

Shen Ruying raised her binoculars and glanced at it, her brows furrowing slightly as she recognized it at a glance.

"That's—a smoke-stained four-legged fish!"
