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

Chapter 42 The Sky of Fish

Su Jin immediately became alert, watching the surrounding sea.

No, something's not right!

This is not boiling in terms of temperature, but a huge object rising at an unimaginable speed, creating a violent current of water due to its frantic stirring!

Then, a pitch-black silhouette, several times larger than the Coral Crystal Crab and whose full form could not be seen, opened its massive maw like the abyss itself and swept past from below.

There was no shouting, no protesting, only pure and efficient killing, or rather, it was...

Predation!

Su Jin only saw a few thick, metallic tentacles flash by, and with lightning speed they wrapped around the coral crystal crabs that were still lingering on the edge of the deep sea.

Their sturdy crystal shells were as fragile as eggshells in the face of this terrifying power, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

Before the prey could even struggle, the crab, claws and all, was dragged into the deep darkness by an irresistible force in the next second.

Then all that remained were a few swirling bubbles and a rapidly diluted red blood mist.

The whole process only lasted a few seconds; it came quickly and went quickly.

The euphoria on the ship froze instantly, and none of the three dared to utter a sound.

Shen Ruying's smile froze, becoming even uglier than crying.

She wanted to cry, but she had to hold it in and not make a sound.

Shen Qiaoqiao's cheer choked in her throat, turning into a sob, and she hugged the lamb so tightly that she almost suffocated.

Su Jin felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, his hands and feet turned icy cold, and his muscles, which had just relaxed, stiffened like iron again.

What is that?!

He didn't even get a clear look at the sea monster; he only witnessed the breathtaking process of its predation.

Compared to it, the coral crystal crab that had just chased them for their lives was like an ant on the roadside, easily crushed.

Oh no... No, I can't panic, I need to stay calm!

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to remain calm. This was a piece of advice given to him by an old hunter, and it was also the key to his survival against wild beasts on many occasions.

He gripped the wooden oar tightly, his feet planted firmly on the wooden pedals, ready to exert force at any moment.

Just then, the cooldown on Golden Sprint also came back up, giving him a little more confidence.

At least under these circumstances, his boat would definitely be faster than those big crabs.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

There was no movement; they were not attacked.

The only sound was the patter of raindrops hitting the roof; everything seemed no different from when we were in the tranquil, shallow alley.

It...did not come up.

They didn't even glance at their little wooden boat floating on the sea.

Su Jin paused for a few seconds, and then a guess immediately formed in his mind.

The sea creatures of the deep sea, their domain and battlefield, in the dark depths of the ocean.

The sea, to them, is perhaps like the sky in the eyes of humans—a place they rarely venture into, or even disdain.

As long as they don't sink and don't actively venture into their territory, sailing on the sea might be like birds to these true deep-sea predators, just as humans are to birds.

Although they are visible, they do not pose a threat or arouse their interest unless deliberately attacked.

The real danger lies with marine mammals that can adapt to both shallow waters and surface environments, or with those that recklessly venture into the deep sea.

The increased activity of storms likely refers more to their activity within their existing territory than to their surfacing and impacting the sea surface.

Tsk tsk, those unlucky guys just now probably accidentally chased to the edge of some deep-sea overlord's territory and got eaten like snacks.

After realizing the truth, Su Jin finally relaxed.

He reached out and patted Shen Ruying beside him, then stroked Shen Qiaoqiao's head with his other hand, softly comforting her:

"Don't be afraid, we're safe now. That guy shouldn't attack us."

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter were taken aback, but remained tense.

It wasn't until Su Jin explained things to them that the mother and daughter felt relieved and each found something to lean on, looking like they had just escaped a disaster.

Shen Qiaoqiao leaned against the equally limp lamb, while the young woman Shen Ruying, for reasons unknown, leaned against Su Jin.

A faint fragrance emanated from her, accompanied by her soft breathing, causing Su Jin to squint his eyes.

At this moment, he felt a slight sense of comfort; this kind of survival is the most enjoyable time.

If he could, he really wished this moment could last a little longer.

But no, his other crew member was waiting for him to go back and rescue her. If that adorable girl wasn't stupid, she probably would have already reached the beach.

At this moment, the not-so-stupid Li Yuanyuan was indeed at the beach, but the situation was somewhat embarrassing.

"Go away, go away, don't pinch my feet! Go find your mother... no, go get eaten by other sea monsters, then they won't eat me!"

This adorable girl is squatting inside the turtle shell she's using as a pot, and using a small twig she picked up to scare away the little crystal crabs that are trying to crawl inside.

Just now, due to an accident, her bottom was pinched by a little creature, and there is still a light red mark on her pert buttocks.

The rain was still falling, soaking her completely, and the waves kept crashing against her.

She was surrounded by darkness, and could see almost nothing except for a cluster of constantly moving pale blue dots on the ground.

She gazed expectantly towards the ocean, a look of worry flashing in her eyes.

Almost half an hour has passed since Su Jin lured the giant crabs away. She wondered if her brother Su had managed to get rid of them, or perhaps...

A chilling look flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

No way, that man is so strong, how could anything happen to him?

He will definitely come back to pick me up on his purple warhorse!

Just as she was thinking this, a faint purple light appeared in her field of vision, which then gradually expanded and turned into a small purple boat.

Yay, it's Brother Su!

Ignoring the small crystal crabs clinging to her white hair, she stood up, waving her hand adorned with a rainbow bracelet, and shouted:

"Brother Su, I'm here..."

Soon, the familiar ship stopped in front of her, and a familiar man appeared beside it, extending his hand to her.

"Come on, come on up first... Oh, and bring your pot too."

Su Jin took the turtle shell with one hand and pulled Li Yuanyuan onto the boat with the other. He held her in his arms, supporting her pert bottom with one hand, and casually tossed the turtle shell aside.

Once inside the cabin, he didn't care about anything else and immediately started taking off Li Yuanyuan's soaking wet clothes.

Having learned from her previous experience, the girl did not resist this time, but simply let Su Jin do as he pleased.

I felt a little embarrassed because there were other people present.

After Su Jin stripped the girl almost naked, he took off his own clothes and used them to dry her body.

As Li Yuanyuan's body temperature rose, a sudden chill swept over her.

"Achoo..."

Her delicate body began to tremble involuntarily, and her teeth chattered incessantly.

Just then, a warm wolfskin jacket was put on her, and she immediately felt most of the chill disappear.

Then, Su Jin's gentle voice reached her ears.

"This is a gift for you, what do you think? Do you like it?"
