Chapter 109 Skewered Sea Turtle
Old Zhang's almost hoarse voice was naturally impossible for Su Jin to hear, but the white flag was still very obvious.
Su Jin naturally saw it. In fact, he had developed a habit of always heading straight to Old Zhang's Island whenever he came over, and he always paid attention to Old Zhang's side.
"Wow, you look so disheveled after just two days."
He immediately recognized it as a pair of boxer briefs that hadn't been washed for several days, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
But he could understand it. It was already quite good for an ordinary person to survive, let alone come up with such a way to ask for help, which showed that Lao Zhang was a smart man.
As his partner, he naturally went to the rescue, mainly by taking advantage of the situation.
Theoretically speaking, the monsters on each island are also one of the island owner's resources.
Sea monsters can increase attributes when eaten, and they can also be used as food, making them much more valuable than ordinary wood.
The prerequisite is that we can capture the sea monster; otherwise, it will be a scourge that we should avoid at all costs.
However, compared to hunting sea monsters in the ocean and encountering unknown dangers, killing these land-dwelling sea monster cubs is much less risky.
To some extent, Su Jin increasingly felt that this was a benefit the system was giving to them, the survivors.
Of course, this is also the natural operating rule of this world's ecosystem, the rule that humans must use to survive in this world, and the place where human wisdom is most evident.
Su Jin called out Lin Xuan and Shen Qiaoqiao, asking them to help him accept the spoils of war, while he planned to use a little trick first.
"Qiaoqiao, go and get me two pieces of fresh, stinky fish meat."
He patted the little girl's head, while staring at Old Zhang's little wooden house, pondering his plan.
Shen Qiaoqiao tilted her head, a little confused, but having just woken up, she didn't want to use her brain, so she happily went to get to work.
A moment later, she pinched her nose and brought over two scraps: "Hey, uncle, take this stinky stuff."
She pinched her nose and handed over the fish. Su Jin took it and frowned as well.
There's no way around it, this stuff really does smell bad.
"Go again and twist two ropes for me. They don't need to be too long, about half a meter will do," he instructed again.
Shen Qiaoqiao immediately did as she was told, then handed the things to Su Jin, looking at him curiously: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Lin Xuan smiled and explained on Su Jin's behalf, "Brother Su is using these two pieces of fish as bait."
Then she added, "I just took a look, and those sea turtles on the island, judging from their characteristics, should be a kind of Tier 1 sea beast called a rock turtle."
"It is a sea monster of the same type as the rock snake, but its defense is even higher when it grows up."
"But this refers to its shell. In reality, its flesh is still soft, and it would be killed if it encountered a slender creature like a snake or sea monster."
These were stories she heard from Shen Ruying, or rather, stories she pestered Shen Ruying to tell her.
She is actually very interested in the habits of marine creatures and is quite studious.
As she spoke, she pointed to the smelly fish meat in Su Jin's hand and said, "The meat of a third-tier sea beast is a deadly temptation for them. It's easy to gather them together and make them convenient for skewering."
Shen Qiaoqiao suddenly realized, and Su Jin nodded in satisfaction: "The top student really understands me."
He stood up, swung the fish meat tied with a rope 360 degrees in the air, and then used the momentum to send the fish meat flying out, landing precisely on the beach to the left of the cabin.
Then, he tossed another piece of fish onto the beach to his right.
This way, it would be easier to lure out the sea monsters around the cabin, preventing them from collapsing Old Zhang's little house as well.
The meat of a Tier 3 sea beast, combined with a touch of blood, is incredibly appealing to Tier 1 sea beast cubs.
Soon, a bunch of silly little rock turtles on both sides started fighting over it, completely unaware that it was bait.
On the roof beams of the cabin, Old Zhang suddenly felt that the wooden walls had stopped shaking, and the little rock turtles around him seemed to have all moved away. He was overjoyed.
He stopped what he was doing, caught his breath, and immediately shouted, "Boss, keep it up! Take them all down! I'll pay you!"
Unfortunately, Su Jin couldn't hear anything; he was concentrating on aiming the two crossbows at the two groups of sea turtles.
"One unit on each side, I'll operate unit 2, Xiaoxuan, you operate unit 1 and we'll launch together, cascade, understand?"
"I understand!" Lin Xuan nodded, feeling a little excited. She had never felt that killing sea monsters was such a joyful thing.
"Fire!" Su Jin gave the order, and the two ballistae fired simultaneously, sending two harpoon bolts straight towards the group of sea monsters.
The little rock turtles, still fighting over the smelly fish meat, didn't even realize what was happening before they were instantly pierced through the body by harpoon bolts—and several of them at once.
"Five on the left, three on the right—eight in total, not bad!"
Su Jin grinned, then immediately pulled the crossbow bolt back, preparing for a second shot.
However, these little rock turtles didn't seem to feel as invincible as the clam spirit. They seemed to think they had been attacked by a high-level sea beast, and they all ran away very fast.
In no time, it reached the center of the island and quickly disappeared.
At this point, the area around Old Zhang's cabin was finally safe; apart from himself, there were no other living beings left.
After waiting for a long time, when he heard that there was no more noise around him, he carefully jumped down from the roof beam, almost falling face-first to the ground.
He peeked out and saw Su Jin collecting his spoils.
Seeing that eight baby rock turtles were dead and the others had disappeared, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The boss is amazing! He chased away all the sea monsters as soon as he arrived, cough cough cough——————"
He shouted flattery, but his voice was so hoarse that he kept coughing.
Su Jin did hear the flattery, but he didn't pay much attention to it, simply saying, "It's nothing, just a small thing. After all, you're my partner."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang felt a warmth in his heart; in fact, he had almost forgotten that he had a boat ticket.
Yes, he was also a partner, and was one of Su Jin's initial business partners.
Thinking about it, this identity isn't actually bad; at least Su Jin truly saved him when he was in danger.
Then he heard Su Jin ask, "It's getting increasingly dangerous. My partner, are you interested in boarding the ship?"
Seeing Su Jin's sincere expression, Old Zhang hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit conflicted.
He actually didn't want to get on the ship because he had overcome this hurdle and was ready to make his fortune.
After all, he had a clear hint that if his strength attribute increased even a little bit, his talent would be upgraded, allowing him to catch even more fish.
He had heard Su Jin say before that eating sea beast meat could improve attributes, and now he wanted to gamble that the rock turtle meat would add a little bit of strength.
Then, his expression hardened, and he was about to refuse when a loud noise suddenly came from the side, startling him.
Turning around, I saw that someone had crashed into the beach, creating a large crater.
This man was none other than Zhao Tieshan, the owner of Iron Ore Island.
