Chapter 18 - The special squid

After getting on the ship, Jiang Yuntian retracted the anchor and dragged up the net full of squid claws.

"This fishy smell might attract ferocious beasts. It's better to leave as soon as possible." Jiang Yuntian adjusted the sail according to the wind direction and sailed towards the northwest.

"I've dealt with the squid. I'm just worried that the fishy smell will attract beasts, so I'm heading northwest first." Jiang Yuntian reported to Xiao Yi.

"Okay, safety first!" Xiao Yi replied.

After Jiang Yuntian responded, he handed the giant claws to Xiao Yi.

There was no way to deal with them on the ship, so this was the only option.

"[Giant squid claws] (Grade C) * 400kg, the transaction is completed."

Just the eight claws are so heavy, which shows how huge the squid is.

After receiving them, Xiao Yi put the squid claws into the cold storage of the small warehouse.

There's too much meat to consume at once, and Grade C food is not easy to sell. Curing it into bacon can make it last longer.

After sending basic supplies to Jiang Yuntian and the other person again, Xiao Yi returned to the bed.

"According to the original plan, Jiang Yuntian should be able to arrive tomorrow morning. But now it seems hopeless." Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

The incident with the squid made Jiang Yuntian deviate from the route. Coupled with the delay caused by the tornado before, it's likely to be postponed.

However, changes at sea are unpredictable, and there's nothing to be done.

Xiao Yi was drowsy but was awakened by an urgent message from Yuan Nong. He had encountered a large sea beast.

"Xiao Yi, the opponent is destroying things too fast!" Yuan Nong exclaimed in a hurry.

"Brother Jiang, quickly trade the tranquilizer machine to him!" Xiao Yi ordered.

Jiang Yuntian immediately traded the tranquilizer machine.

Yuan Nong pushed it to the deck and set the shadow on the right side of the ship as the target.

"Target confirmed, Kronosaurus. It is expected that two darts will make it unconscious for one hour! Doubling the number of darts will double the unconscious time!"

"A dragon?" Xiao Yi was stunned when he heard this.

Yuan Nong pondered for a moment and said, "The Kronosaurus is a prehistoric dinosaur that has long been extinct. How could there be such a creature here!"

"There are even prehistoric dinosaurs?" Xiao Yi frowned. "What kind of world is this?"

Prehistoric dinosaurs are huge in size, especially the carnivorous ones, and their attack power is astonishing, like the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Now with just a medium-sized sailboat, when encountering such a creature, the only option is to avoid it. But at this moment, there's no way to avoid it!

The feedback from the tranquilizer machine shows that the strength of the Kronosaurus far exceeds that of the orca.

One dart can calm an orca for two hours, but it takes two darts to calm this dragon for one hour!

"Calm it for two hours first and leave this place quickly!" Xiao Yi thought for a while and immediately gave the order.

Yuan Nong set four darts, and the tranquilizer machine launched, hitting the target precisely. The Kronosaurus struggled for a while before sinking still, but it damaged the stern of the ship.

"Didi, warning: The ship is under attack and severely damaged. Repair it immediately!"

Yuan Nong informed Xiao Yi of the required resources, and Xiao Yi sent them immediately.

After clicking to repair, the supplies disappeared, and Yuan Nong's sailboat returned to its original state.

"Sail away from this place with the wind!" Xiao Yi commanded.

"But the wind is blowing towards the southeast at the moment. If I sail like this, I will move away from the target." Yuan Nong hesitated.

"Safety first!" Xiao Yi said again. "If you encounter the Kronosaurus again, you might not be able to reach the target."

"Sigh, alright!" Yuan Nong reluctantly agreed and adjusted the course of the ship, sailing towards the northwest.

There are only two darts left in the tranquilizer machine. Eight darts have been used!

In the current situation of Yuan Nong and Jiang Yuntian, it's difficult for the two martial artists to reach their island!

However, Xiao Yi doesn't have a good solution at the moment. He can only proceed step by step and deal with each situation as it comes!

In the late night, Xiao Yi got up every two hours to provide materials for the two to repair the damaged ship until six o'clock in the morning.

In the chicken coop, the roosters have been crowing continuously, waking up the dawn.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Even though Xiao Yi was extremely tired, he couldn't fall asleep again.

Although he got up several times in the middle of the night, fortunately, Yuan Nong wasn't attacked by the Kronosaurus again.

"It's been so long. I think I've gotten rid of that Kronosaurus. I'm changing the course and heading towards Su Wan's island!" Yuan Nong sent a message.

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

He stood up, stretched, and walked out of the residence. First, he fed the creatures in the chicken coop and the cowshed, and then he checked the warehouse.

Although he kept exchanging water and sea fish for necessities, the inventory was almost depleted.

The sailing of Jiang Yuntian and Yuan Nong consumes a lot, and it's difficult to sustain it today!

Xiao Yi let out a sigh, washed his face, and prayed silently in his heart. Then he said solemnly, "System, check in!" "Check-in successful. Reward received: The Three Wonders Fish Repellent."

"The Three Wonders Fish Repellent: According to the characteristics of aquatic creatures, it can intelligently select the means of expulsion. If the creature isn't provoked, the success rate of expulsion is 100%."

"Great!" Xiao Yi clenched his fists in excitement, and then he was puzzled. "However, since it's called the Three Wonders Fish Repellent, why can it still fail?"

The system didn't respond, and Xiao Yi didn't delve into it. He directly shared it in the group.

"When encountering marine creatures, use this thing. It can disperse most aquatic creatures!" Xiao Yi said.

When Yuan Nong saw it, he said in surprise, "Great. We don't have to outwit those huge beasts anymore!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang.

Yuan Nong's body swayed, and the island tablet warned: "The ship is damaged. Repair it immediately!"

"I'm under attack again!" After saying this, Yuan Nong immediately started to repair the ship.

Xiao Yi immediately traded the fish repellent to him.

After accepting the trade, Yuan Nong took out the fish repellent, placed it on the ship, and activated it.

"It seems to be that big guy!" Yuan Nong frowned and said.

The "big guy" he mentioned was exactly the Kronosaurus that attacked him last night.

Yuan Nong walked to the side of the ship and looked in the direction of the attack.

It was already dawn, and a huge black shadow appeared on the right side of the ship!

The other party seemed to notice Yuan Nong too. It raised its head out of the water, and its crocodile-like head came into Yuan Nong's sight.

But this head is far bigger than an ordinary crocodile. Yuan Nong guessed that if the Kronosaurus wanted to swallow him, it could do it in one bite.

The Kronosaurus twisted its body and dived into the water again. Yuan Nong saw clearly that there were four huge fins under its belly!

It originally wanted to continue attacking Yuan Nong's sailboat, but halfway through, the head of the Kronosaurus suddenly trembled and it turned around and left.

"It's effective!" Yuan Nong said joyfully.

The Kronosaurus only attacked once, and the damage wasn't serious. Yuan Nong repaired the ship with the supplies on the ship.

"Use this fish repellent in turns. Discuss it among yourselves in special situations!" Xiao Yi said.

"Okay!" The two responded.

After activating the fish repellent, the two of them were as if they were in a dead sea area, and no more aquatic creatures bothered them.

"Didi: The island foundation is under attack!"

"You two are at ease now, but I have to get busy!" Xiao Yi smiled helplessly, picked up the Tang Dao (a kind of sword) and the iron spear beside him, and went out.

The place that was attacked this time was quite far from the residence. When Xiao Yi arrived, half of the foundation stone had been gnawed away.

"Octopus (Grade B): Watch out for its tentacles. The suction cups have great power. Of course, if you can catch it, it will taste great!"

"Fortunately, it's not one level higher!" Seeing the level of the octopus, Xiao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The eight tentacles of the octopus tightly hugged the foundation stone. Xiao Yi waved the iron spear and stabbed it directly!

It hugged the stone too tightly, which instead helped Xiao Yi hit it with one strike.

The intense pain made the small octopus desperately wrap its tentacles around the iron spear.

Xiao Yi lifted out the octopus, pulled out the Tang Dao, and dismembered it.

In an instant, the tip of the iron spear was chipped.

There were no special situations for Jiang Yuntian and Yuan Nong, and Xiao Yi felt a little more relaxed.

He cut off the meat of the tentacles of the giant octopus that Jiang Yuntian caught last night, added the meat of the small octopus he just killed, and roasted them together.

He cut the remaining meat of the giant octopus into large pieces and pickled them with sea salt.

The octopus meat was roasted and distributed to everyone as breakfast.

"This is what Jiang Yuntian caught last night. Everyone, have a taste." Xiao Yi smiled.

Everyone happily accepted it. The roasted octopus meat of a certain level tasted really good.

Moreover, Xiao Yi smeared a layer of oil on it and sprinkled some sea salt, making it even more delicious.

Glancing at the two dots representing Jiang Yuntian and Yuan Nong on the map, which were steadily approaching, Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction.

With the escort of the two Three Wonders equipment, this journey should be as stable as a rock!

The Three Wonders ship anchor can withstand the wind and waves, and the Three Wonders fish repellent can disperse aquatic creatures.

The collection of basic supplies can be slowed down a bit.

Xiao Yi thought for a while and adjusted the initial transaction price back. The supplies still need to be collected, but it can be done slowly.

"Something's wrong. What's going on? Has the great martial artist collected enough supplies?"

"Yes, I still want to exchange for some water and food. Why did the price suddenly increase!"

"Surely the great martial artist has collected enough!"

"You guys are lucky to have exchanged some. I'm still waiting for the great martial artist to lower the price!"
