Chen Ye observed the situation in the surrounding sea and prepared to go to the forest on the other side to explore.

The wind and waves on the sea are not too big.

But what happens underwater is invisible to the naked eye.

Yesterday afternoon he had done a test with the remains of alien beasts and unknown men.

It was found that there seemed to be no sign of any other life in the sea other than the Category 1 Megalodon Shark.

But after one night, the situation in the sea is unknown.

For the sake of safety, Chen Ye took out a piece of crocodile shark meat weighing five or six catties and threw it into the seawater.

After a few minutes of waiting, nothing happened at sea.

Seems to be safe.

However, in order to ensure the foolproof operation and to create an unforgettable experience for his new teammates, Chen Ye directly waved his hand and called Lin Zimo.

He pointed to the surface of the sea with the rolling waves, and said with a serious face:

"Don't you know how to dive, hurry down and see if there's any danger in the sea."

This girl should be worried that the people in the last days will be unpredictable and will threaten her personal safety, so she concealed her gender.

Since this is the case, then she must have also concealed her true strength.

Otherwise, it is impossible to think about the mediocre talent of "diving swimming" in the newcomer's lucky bag.

And his move was also to make Lin Zimo retreat and take the initiative to confess his true situation.

Rather than forcibly piercing her disguise, doing so will be conducive to improving her favorability.

Sure enough, after Lin Zimo heard Lin Ye's words, he looked at the dark seawater, and his legs couldn't help but start to tremble.

"Are you sure you want me to go down and have a look?"

She turned her head and asked in a trembling voice, "When I swam here yesterday, I didn't seem to encounter any danger. ”

Chen Ye, who was standing behind the side, directly ignored the pleading gaze, and said seriously: "Maybe the monsters in the sea are also afraid of storms, but now that it's clear, maybe there will be monsters wandering around foraging." ”

After Lin Zimo heard this, his eyes immediately turned red.

What a talent for snorkeling, that's all a lie.

She just spends her time at the city's water amusement park, or goes to the beach with her best friends for a vacation.

Although I learned to dive for a while, I was able to stay in the water for 1 minute, which is considered extraordinary.

Nowadays, under the protection of no diving equipment, it is no different from sending people to death.

And that Chen Ye, as if he had some serious illness, kept urging in the back.

Lin Zimo gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to show it.

Since she disguised herself as a boy, she couldn't expose her weak and timid side, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

So, after a fierce ideological struggle.

Lin Zimo gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea.

"What courage!"

Seeing this, Chen Ye couldn't help but applaud.

He wasn't worried about terrifying monsters in the sea.

Because after throwing away the crocodile shark meat, he took out the resource detector and detected it for a while, but did not find a high-threat lifeform marked with a red dot.

So, 99.999% below the surface of the sea is safe.

The remaining 0.001% depends on Lin Zimo's own creation.

The water around the island is pitch black and visibility is very low.

Lin Zimo groped under the water with difficulty, but did not find any fish.

Instead, on the rocks that extend out of the island, I saw some tubular creatures.

She didn't dare to get close to check it out, and after less than a minute of diving, she surfaced.

Go back to the island and tell you what you have just discovered.

After Chen Ye listened, he sat on the reef and frowned and thought.

He envisioned that even if there were no signs of large life in the sea, there should be a relatively rich number of small biomes.

Otherwise, without a rich and complete ecosystem to feed them, it will be difficult for the huge megalodon to survive.

But if, as Lin Zimo said, there is only a single tubular creature in the pitch-black seawater, then the situation in this world is completely out of line with scientific common sense!

Unless......

A terrifying thought came to Chen Ye's mind.

Unless, the life forms of Terra do not simply hunt and eat to replenish the energy needed for life activities.

Just like Chen Ye had absorbed the vital essence of the alien beasts before, they also had other ways to replenish their energy.

If this theory continues, the megalodon is likely to be at the bottom of this marine ecological chain, and there is some kind of higher predator in the sea.

This also explains why the crocodile shark has a strength rating of only one level.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's hairs stood on end, and his scalp was numb.

He originally thought that a creature of that size would already be considered a high-level life form.

Now that I think about it, I really have too little knowledge.

The area where the island is connected to the land is a shallow sea.

Very large lifeforms are not usually found in this terrain.

So for now, the nearby waters are safe for the time being.

Of course, safety doesn't mean there are no risks.

Chen Ye took a bath bucket as a boat and took out the wide alligator shark fin as an oar.

The island is located at a distance of about 500 meters from the shoreline.

As long as there are no accidents in between, it will take about half an hour to reach the shore.

Chen Ye called Lin Zimo, who was resting on the side, sat down in the bathtub, and paddled hard with the crocodile shark fin.

With the help of wind and waves, the two arrived at the edge of the beach in less than half an hour.

Chen Ye left the bathtub and took out the resource detector to observe the distribution of resources around him.

The trees here are so tall that you can be amazed even from afar.

The dense canopy of trees joins together to form an impermeable barrier over the forest.

So much so that when you look inside from the outside, it's all pitch black, and you don't know what kind of danger lurks in the depths of the forest.

When the Terra beast burst out of the forest, it broke two trees.

The thick trunk of the tree traversed the edge of the forest, which was cheap for Chen Ye, who was in urgent need of wood.

【Evergreen Tree: Cloud Iron Tree】

[Named because the tree is tall and stout, the wood is relatively hard and heavy, the big one can be used as a pillar building, and the small one is charcoal]

[The wood is dark silver, the wood grain is very beautiful, and it is a high-quality raw material for making furniture and building materials]

"Pillar Building" and "Charcoal" are the resources that Chen Ye needs most at present.

He took out the sharp rock shards and cut off all the tiny branches.

Finally, it is stored in the storage space with the smooth logs.

However, with only one cloud iron tree, most of the twenty cubic meters of storage space was crammed.

If you talk about a unit of wood, it is a standard log with a length of seven meters and a diameter of 50 centimeters.

That one cloud iron tree is equivalent to ten units of wood.

You can imagine how thick and tall this tree is.

Fortunately, Lin Zimo was also brought over this time, which can be used as an additional portable warehouse.

Although he harvested two high-value log materials, Chen Ye's heart was full of questions.

With just one snake-tailed Rafflesia, how did he break such a stout cloud iron tree?

That guy was indeed very tall, but he was not good enough in front of Yun Tieshu.

Since the level 1 megalodon is the bottom creature of the marine ecological chain, the level 1 snake-tailed Rafflesia may be in the same situation.

In this way, these cloud iron trees in front of him were not broken by the Rafflesia, but some kind of monster with more terrifying strength.

But for some reason, the monster didn't leave the forest.

Chen Ye looked at the depths of the dark forest, and suddenly had a feeling that he was not very good.

It was as if something was lurking in the shadows, staring at them.

"Did you encounter any monsters or strange things when you got lost in the forest yesterday?"

Chen Ye turned his head to look at Lin Zimo, and his tone of voice was a little eager.

Lin Zimo was searching for useful resources nearby, and after hearing this, he straightened up and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"I was running away before I had time to observe my surroundings."

Chen Ye sighed and advised, "Then let's search for supplies outside today, don't go into the forest!" ”

The edge of the forest is mostly a patchwork of shrubland.

Although it could not compete with the tall trees for sunlight, it survived in the cracks.

With the help of the resource detector, Chen Ye found some dwarf plants.

The ends of the slender stems and leaves are dotted with plump fruits.

【Herb: Mamba Berry】

[Juicy and sweet wild berries, effective treatment of malaria, cholera, micro-toxicity, eating too much will cause shock]

These red berries look very tempting.

Chen Ye was already hungry and thirsty, so he turned off the system prompt in front of him, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

The texture is a bit like raspberry, and when chewed gently, the well-defined flesh bursts in the mouth.

The juice is very sweet and has a pleasant hint of a citrus fruit.

Although this berry tastes and textures very good, Chen Ye doesn't want to die because of greed.

He handed Lin some berries, and then looked elsewhere for other edible plants.

A few minutes later, Chen Ye found some vines the thickness of his little thumb on a "malnourished" Yuntie tree.

At the end of the stem is a fist-sized oval fruit, which looks full and juicy.

【Woody Plant: Snake Vine Fruit】

[The fruit of the snake vine, the flesh is snow-white and sweet and sour, in addition to fresh food, it can also be used to make wine, make fruit paddles and drinks, and the seeds can be pressed for oil]

Rattan can be used to weave mattresses, and the fruit can also be used to make juice, which is a treasure plant!

After reading the detailed introduction, Chen Ye didn't say a word, raised the rock fragment in his hand, and smashed it directly against the branches and stems of the vines.

The canopy of the trees above his head shook suddenly, and the yellow leaves fell in a flutter.

Half an hour later, Chen Ye harvested nearly twenty meters of rattan and more than forty ripe snake vine fruits.

He couldn't wait to peel off the skin of the fruit and send the crystal clear snow-white flesh into his mouth.

The sweet, sour and fragrant juice fills the entire mouth in an instant.

Although it is not as sweet as the manba berry, the juice and pulp are much richer, and there is absolutely no problem with using it for the stomach.

After eating and drinking, Chen Ye wanted to cut some snake vines again, but suddenly there was a strange noise in the forest.

However, when scanned by the Resource Probe, no red dots were found in the line of sight.

This shows that the other party is not a threatening living organism.

But in order to prevent accidents, Chen Ye still pulled Lin Zimo and hid in the half-human-high bushes.

However, what he didn't expect was that what came out of the darkness soon after was not a strange-looking beast, but a team of adventurers.

There are three people in the team, two men and one woman.

Armed with a homemade weapon, he wears a simple suit of armor made from tree bark.

Chen Ye's expression suddenly became solemn.

It's not good!

The man in the lead, with a large area of dark red blood on his body.

When the two alien beasts fought each other to death before, all that flowed out was blue-green blood.

This indicates that it is highly likely that the team has killed one or more humans.

At this time, the woman in the queue wearing short sleeves and long pants raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the island, and shouted pretentiously:

"Brother Lu, this is it!"

"I didn't expect it to be a two-story building, that kid named Chen Ye really has a lot of resources in his hands!"

Chen Ye, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately heard a thunderbolt in his mind.

These people are coming at him!

But he has never revealed his location information on the World Channel or the consignment center, how did these people find them?

The bald man standing at the front of the team showed a smug smile:

"Thanks to Xiao Ai's talent, after I take this island, I will definitely reward you once!"

"Brother Lu, you hate it~"

Ai Jing raised his hand and hammered Lu Zhiqiang's shoulder, and there was a seductive charm between his eyebrows.
