Chapter 814: Boundless Ocean

It was obvious that the surgical knife and watch alone could only help them collect around five hundred grams of water regardless of how humid the place was.

He had to have collected the remaining, drop by drop from the forest.

The two of them went ahead and had a delicious meal of crabs.

However, crabs belonged to the cold variety of food. It wasn’t good to always eat them.

The sun was hot in the day and there was no need for a fire.

Thus, they preserved the tinders carefully.

Bai Qinghao left for the forest to collect some firewood. As they did not have any food reserves, he decided to also look for food.

This time, he headed deeper into the forest.

Fang Xinxin instructed him to be careful before he left. She remained near the shed to collect slim bamboo poles and long leaves.

She used the surgical knife to slice the bamboo thinly. She then attempted to make a basket which they could carry on their backs. With yesterday’s experience, her movements were much smoother.

She even tried to make a pair of straw slippers. She chose a thin and long piece of dried grass and weaved it through the small hole she had left on the sole. She then split the end into two.

She made several attempts based on the video she had seen in the past and finally made a pair of slippers for herself.

Her feet were scratched up from all the walking she did and that left Bai Qinghao’s heart aching dearly.

The first pair of slippers were rather ugly. However, she picked things up quickly and was soon able to make a nicer pair of slippers for Bai Qinghao.

She lifted her head towards the sky and guessed that it was past 12:00 in the afternoon.

Why wasn’t Bai Qinghao back yet?

She could not help but worry. She regretted not going with him.

However, he did not wish for her to be too tired and insisted that she rest in the shed.

Thus, she could only mess with these things.

Although they agreed he would return with food, she could not sit and wait.

She brought Bai Qinghao’s shirt and the basket she had made to the beach which was around a kilometer away. As she approached the rock mountain, this time, she did not search for crabs. Instead, she submerged the basket into the water. There were groups of small fish swimming there.

However, each one of them was only the size of a finger.

She had been eyeing these fish for a while.

She placed some of the raw crab meat from earlier into the basket as bait. Very quickly, a large group of fish swam into the basket. She then lifted the basket out of the water with one smooth movement.

As the water drained out of the basket, countless small fishes were left wriggling in it. She then poured the fish into the shirt.

She repeated this several times until the shirt was filled up. She was lucky enough to also catch several big fishes.

She then searched through the rocks and caught two more crabs before returning.

She took a few steps and paused to look at the rock cliff at the end of the beach. It was around twenty meters tall and was naturally formed with large rocks. It was possible to climb a cliff like that.

She suddenly felt the urge to stand on it to see what the entire island looked like from that height.

She placed the two crabs into the shirt and tied it tightly with dried grass. She then placed the bundle into the basket.

She carried the basket on her back as she climbed her way up.

She had made the strap of the basket by cutting the sleeves of her shirt and slicing them into thin strips. Thus, her shirt had become sleeveless.

Her body had recovered significantly. With the use of her special powers, though it was difficult, she still managed to climb her way up the cliff.

She stood on top of the cliff and realized that the island was surrounded by the seemingly boundless ocean.
