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

Chapter 90 A Feast at Sea in a Tranquil Bend

On Wang Qingmei's own vegetable island, countless small blue sea snakes slither around in search of food.

They are not rock snakes, but they are cubs of the same Tier 1 sea monster, the Sharp-headed Serpent.

They don't have the defensive talents of rock snakes, and their own attack power is not strong, but they have one characteristic: they reproduce extremely quickly.

While rock snakes lay 4-6 eggs at a time, the sharp-headed snake lays more than three times that number, and often more than 20.

Now, there are more than 1000 small snakes active on the entire vegetable island, and Wang Qingmei's vegetable fields are inevitably ruined.

The once lush and green vegetable field is now completely devoid of greenery, having been gnawed bare by small snakes.

Theoretically speaking, small-headed snakes only eat meat and generally ignore plant-based foods.

But the coincidence is that Wang Qingmei has the talent of being irrigated with beast blood.

She killed the baby yak she had caught from the neighboring island, ate some herself, and then used the blood to drench the vegetables.

This resulted in the vegetables in her garden having an extra meaty flavor, which naturally appealed to the little sharp-headed snake, so none of them were left.

When Wang Qingmei saw this scene, her eyes reddened and her heart ached terribly, but there was nothing she could do; she was now in dire straits herself.

Because she had killed a baby yak, she was covered in animal blood, and the smell of her own flesh, being human, naturally attracted many small, pointed snakes beneath her.

Because she was a serpentine sea creature, even if she hid in a tree more than ten meters high, the small snakes would slowly crawl up to her.

Wang Qingmei is currently clinging to a thick tree branch, refusing to let go, her whole body resembling a startled, plump cicada, pressed tightly against the tree trunk.

Below her were countless tiny, pointed snakes emerging from their pupae.

These little cubs aren't very bright yet; all they have is a desire for food, and they just keep climbing up the tree trunk.

Occasionally, they would raise their triangular heads and examine their food with a greedy look in their big, black bean-like eyes.

Wang Qingmei's scalp tingled at the sight of these things, and she instinctively shouted in an attempt to scare them away:

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"

But it was all in vain. As the small, pointed snakes approached, she kicked her legs, trying to kick them away.

But this movement only exposed more flaws.

A small, sharp-headed snake, moving with lightning speed, suddenly sprang up, its tiny fangs biting hard into her bare calf!

"ah--!"

Wang Qingmei let out a blood-curdling scream.

The pain from the snake's bite wasn't severe; it felt more like being pricked by a red-hot needle.

But then, an unbearable itch burst forth from the wound.

At that moment, Wang Qingmei felt as if countless ants were frantically gnawing at her wound beneath her skin.

She instinctively reached out to scratch, but as soon as she let go, her body slid down a bit, which terrified her. She quickly clung tightly to the tree trunk again.

Immediately afterwards, a belated burning pain erupted at the wound, driving her almost to madness.

itch!

pain!

It's both itchy and painful!

Subsequently, the bitten area quickly became red and swollen, and the skin turned a terrifying purplish-black color, which continued to spread upwards along the leg.

Her body temperature began to rise uncontrollably, her head became dizzy, and she felt a blackout before her eyes.

What made her even more desperate was that she felt a hot, wet sensation in her lower body that she couldn't control; she... lost control of her bladder.

Rain lashed against her through the leaves, causing an unbearable itch and pain, and a nauseating stench lingered around her nose...

She's going crazy!

"My food...my food!! That damned worm! That despicable beast!!!"

She cursed wildly, but it was no use. She could only watch as the vegetable field below was devoured, leaving not a single weed behind.

In addition, the large egg she found today has been stolen, and her silkworms are also gone.

The thought of these things made her feel as if someone was cutting her heart with a knife.

She was counting on these things to live a good life!

Now it's all gone!

It's all been ruined by those damned blue-skinned worms!

Actually, she's terrified of snakes, like she's scared to death.

I was scared by a rat snake when I was a child, and I had nightmares about it for several years afterward.

Now, hundreds and thousands of snakes are around her, and they keep climbing up!

She was so frightened she almost fainted.

But she couldn't let go, she absolutely couldn't let go. If she fell, she would be immediately submerged and gnawed until not even a bone fragment remained.

But how long can she hold on the tree? The moment she is exhausted will be the moment she goes to hell.

The archipelago looked like the end of the world, while on the tranquil shallows, a peaceful scene unfolded.

Su Jin's sailboat was steadily moored in the shallow water, its guiding star torch emitting a warm yellow light that dispelled the darkness and chill, adding a touch of warmth to the boat.

In the center of the boat, a simple stove was burning a few pieces of black coal, with a marble slab placed on top of the fire.

On the stone slab, the snow-white fish oil unique to the snow elk sizzled as it was fried at high temperature.

Beside him, Su Jin was holding a sea monster egg he had picked up from Sweet Dew Island that day. Of course, he wasn't going to thank Wang Qingmei; it was originally his.

"Have you ever eaten an egg this big? Definitely not, I've never either. Even ostrich eggs aren't this big. You're all in for a treat today!"

Su Jin's words brought smiles to the faces of all the girls.

Especially Shen Qiaoqiao and Li Yuanyuan, these two foodies, were drooling over the big egg.

Although Lin Xuan isn't a foodie, she has little resistance to delicious food.

Ever since she learned that eating these high-grade ingredients could increase her attributes, she has become particularly attentive to what she eats.

She especially enjoys foods that enhance mental well-being, such as royal jelly, which she drinks frequently to keep her mind clearer during her research.

Moreover, after being handled by the spirit chef Li Yuanyuan, the buff is even more considerable.

Shen Ruying wasn't paying attention to the food; instead, she was carefully observing the patterns on the sea monster egg. Then, she said with some certainty:

"This is a sea monster egg, and it's a Tier 3 sea monster, the Ice Sea Crocodile Turtle egg."

"An alligator snapping turtle?" Su Jin raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "No wonder it's so big. This is truly a treasure! By the way, what are the benefits of eating it?"

Shen Ruying pondered for a moment, then said:

"The alligator snapping turtle lives in the underwater canyons year-round, has few natural enemies, and prefers cold environments because it has a strong ability to keep warm."

"So eating its eggs should have some effect on physical health, and might even make us more resistant to cold?"

As she spoke, something occurred to her, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"But Brother Su, you guys are really lucky. Although this kind of sea turtle is cold-resistant, its eggs are not cold-resistant and can only hatch in an extremely warm environment."

"So finding it on land isn't impossible, it's just that this kind of creature is still very rare."

Su Jin chuckled as well:

"Whatever, we found it anyway, let's eat it tonight. Chef, get started."

"Alright!" Li Yuanyuan took the iron spatula and tapped a hole in the alligator snapping turtle egg. The yolk mixed with the egg white remained on the stone slab, and a fragrant aroma immediately burst out.

"Wuhu, it smells so good! Don't rush, there's definitely enough for everyone, two in total. Tonight is an alligator snapping turtle egg buffet!"

This grand feast at sea lasted for two hours, and even Su Jin was so full that he finally finished off the two eggs.

When he had almost finished digesting, he also noticed that his constitution attribute had increased by 1 point and his strength by 0.3, which was a very considerable boost.

This would normally be a normal thing, since everyone should have received an attribute boost, but only Shen Qiaoqiao exclaimed inexplicably:

"Huh? My talent just leveled up!"
