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

Chapter 16 This monster is starving!

Just then, a sea breeze blew by, dispersing some of the dark clouds in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the sea.

With the help of the moonlight, Su Jin and Li Yuanyuan could barely make out what kind of creatures were in the sea.

It was a giant crab, as tall as a building, its entire body made of what appeared to be deep blue crystal, and it looked particularly imposing under the moonlight.

The large crystal crab quickly moved to the shore, grabbed the corpse of the bearded man, and began to devour it.

This huge person was devoured by the monster in less than a minute, leaving not even bones behind.

Then, it seemed to see the firelight and became excited, as if it were starving. Its legs sped up and rushed towards Su Jin and the other person.

"Hurry up!"

Su Jin grabbed Li Yuanyuan's hand and led the stunned pink-haired girl into the dark forest.

However, he didn't dare to go too deep. Having learned from Shen Ruying's experience on the island, he knew that this forest island was definitely not safe.

Li Yuanyuan had mentioned before that she had seen wild boars, so there must be other wild animals among them.

In addition, with such a strange nest of wasps, venturing deeper into the forest island was not a good decision.

He decided to take Li Yuanyuan to observe the area on the edge of the forest first, to see if the sea monster would chase after them.

Su Jin didn't have much of an impression of this crystal crab.

In fact, before setting sail, he had consulted Shen Ruying to learn about the distribution of marine mammals in the Coral Sea.

At the time, Shen Ruying told him that there weren't many threatening Tier 1 sea beasts in the coral area, only some relatively gentle marine creatures.

But now this huge creature appeared before them, and it was clearly from the nearby coral reef area, yet Shen Ruying had not mentioned it.

Thinking of this, Su Jin's face darkened, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"This guy is at least a Tier 2 sea beast, or even higher. This is going to be tricky..."

Upon hearing Su Jin's words, Li Yuanyuan's face turned deathly pale.

It was late at night, and the forest was pitch black, which already made her feel quite scared. Now, there was also the threat of a sea monster attack.

This newbie protection period is not safe at all!

"Brother Su, what do we do now?"

As the large crystal crab drew closer, Li Yuanyuan instinctively hugged Su Jin tightly, pressing her body against the man.

Su Jin looked straight ahead and calmly said:

"Let's see how things go first."

Feeling Li Yuanyuan trembling, he tried to put his arm around the pink-haired loli's waist, but found that she was a bit short and he couldn't reach her.

So he simply squatted down and picked up the pink-haired little girl in a princess carry.

Given Li Yuanyuan's size and weight, with his current strength, he could even grab one in each hand and carry them around.

Using a princess carry was simply to better protect Li Yuanyuan, in case she bumped into something while running and hurt this adorable girl.

This is his future little chef, a precious treasure, he must cherish her.

Li Yuanyuan was suddenly picked up and couldn't help but want to cry out, but she held it in.

This was the first time she had been so close and intimate with a man.

At this moment, the man was touching her thigh with one hand, and with the other hand, whether intentionally or not, he was supposed to be touching her armpit, but in reality, he was touching places he shouldn't be touching.

She has always been quite sensitive, and now the sensations were even more clearly transmitted to her brain, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

With danger looming and the strong masculine scent emanating from Su Jin, her body began to heat up with excitement.

But Su Jin didn't pay much attention to Li Yuanyuan's situation. He stared nervously at the large crystal crab, wondering if it would chase after them.

He had hoped that the creature would back down once it saw they had entered the forest, but clearly, the sea monster was starving and charged straight at them.

Su Jin, carrying Li Yuanyuan, hurriedly retreated, using some large trees as cover, and quickly reached the tree with the hornet's nest.

Sea creatures are sea creatures after all; they have little intelligence.

The crystal crab ran straight towards them without even turning, and was immediately trapped by two thick spruce trees.

Just when Su Jin thought that this guy couldn't make any further progress, the crystal crab grabbed with its large pincers and actually cut a spruce tree in half.

The tree trunk was carelessly tossed aside, as if it were an insignificant weed.

You should know that if Su Jin were to chop this tree with an axe, it would take him at least ten minutes, and he would need to master the technique.

But in the hands of this monster, a single snip of its scissors is all it takes to snap the tree in two.

Seeing this, Li Yuanyuan turned pale and buried her head in Su Jin's arms, her body trembling and occasionally letting out a sob.

It was only at this point that she realized how weak she was.

Before, she thought she could rely on her talent and a little bit of wilderness survival knowledge to live well in this world.

But now her Dao heart has been directly shattered by this monster's pincers. In front of the sea beast, she is nothing more than a piece of meat to satisfy her craving.

Compared to this naive pink-haired loli, Su Jin was much calmer, but he still felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing that he could no longer stay there, he continued to retreat.

However, he didn't retreat very quickly; he retreated slowly. After all, although the crystal crab was powerful, there were many trees around, so its movement speed wasn't very fast.

He wanted to see how long this monster could keep chasing him; maybe if he wasted a little more energy, it would give up.

But he underestimated the monster's determination. With two fragrant strips of meat in front of it, it was unlikely to give up just because of a little tree in its way.

The crystal crab's two pincers flew around, each slash felling a large tree, and soon many tree stumps appeared around it.

Su Jin had retreated to a deeper part of the forest island and could hear the sound of water behind him, which should be the pool that Li Yuanyuan had mentioned earlier.

Just then, the crystal crab seemed to have uprooted the tree with the hornet's nest, and the tree trunk and the hornet's nest fell near Su Jin and the other person.

Suddenly, a large number of mutated wasps swarmed out, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

These insects are far less intelligent than marine mammals. When their nests are attacked, they immediately assume that all living things in the vicinity are the attackers.

As a result, Su Jin and Li Yuanyuan were the first to be targeted by this swarm of mutated wasps.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

This time, Su Jin didn't dare to be careless. He picked up Li Yuanyuan and ran back, plunging headfirst into the pool.

But the next second, Su Jin was dumbfounded. Why was this pool so shallow?

The water only reached his calves, not nearly enough for them to dive down.

Li Yuanyuan seemed to realize this as well, and her face immediately turned pale.

Seeing that the mutated wasps were about to arrive, Su Jin carried Li Yuanyuan and retreated step by step, trying to find a deeper spot in the pool.

They need to be at least half-submerged in the water for them to hide successfully.

Suddenly, he felt a cool sensation on his back, and water was being poured over his head.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the source of the pool.

It seems... there's still space behind us!

Su Jin gritted his teeth, took two more steps back, passed through the water curtain, and entered a damp little cave.

Water can block their scent, and the current effect should be the same as diving underwater; those mutated wasps shouldn't chase after us.

But the crisis is not over yet!
