Finding a mountain cave where they could hide on an island where the territories were clearly divided, without any Redline Grass or protective asures, and with the little fox gravely injured had taken Tang Xian quite a bit of effort.
The cave was located at the mouth of a tidal area.
It was extrely comfortable to live in when the tide was out, although it was slightly damp. When the tide ca in, it was uninhabitable as the sea would fill the cave entirely.
Fortunately, the rise and fall of the tide were as inconsistent as Tang Xiaojiu's concentration when Tang Xian was teaching her to read that morning, fluctuating over and over again.
Of those ups and downs, two were because the words Tang Xian taught directly related to food.
In any case, Tang Xian and Tang Xiaojiu mostly had a place to stay.
During high tide, Tang Xian would take Tang Xiaojiu with him to wander around. Using the sense of taste in his breath, he avoided the wild animals on the island.
When Tang Xian arrived on the island half a month ago, he happened to encounter a battle between two groups of beasts.
The leaders of both sides were Catastrophe-level boss creatures.
One group was the Golden Patterned Leopards and their leader, the Golden Armored Leopard. The other was the Hell Fla Wolves and their leader, the Great Tengu.
The Golden Patterned Leopard is considered an evolved form of the Blood Roar Leopard, with the Golden Armored Leopard at the pinnacle of this species.
The Hell Fla Wolf is an evolved form of the Cerberus, with the Great Tengu at the pinnacle of canines.
Of course, dog at is delicious, and leopard at also stimulates saliva and fortifies the spleen. The problem is that the leaders of both groups are Catastrophe-level boss creatures.
And both the Golden Patterned Leopard and the Hell Fla Wolf are perfect-level creatures.
Tang Xiaojiu was injured, so Tang Xian had to restrain himself for the ti being.
The only thing Tang Xian was sure of now was that he was on the southern hemisphere of the mining zone world, on an island to the south of the farthest point humans had set foot on the southern continent, beyond which lay a vast sea.
He was now on one of those islands.
This place was unexplored by humans, and although Tang Xian knew about the creatures here, he had no idea exactly where he was.
The reason he landed here via the portable transportation rift was that it was disrupted by the Judgnt Knight before the transfer was complete.
Those powerful rays were sucked into the transportation rift, and the intense energy fluctuations caused instability in the rift.
Tang Xian and Tang Xiaojiu were thrown far away to a southern island, distant from the Rainforest.
Starting with an island surrounded by the sea, the primary task for Tang Xian and Tang Xiaojiu was to survive.
Of course, it had to be survival with at.
Only then would they think about how to leave the place.
No one can imagine how many terrifying creatures there are in the mining zone's ocean.
If underwater photography existed in this world, the scenes from the waters of the mining zone would probably cause anyone with deep-sea phobia to faint instantly.
In the deeper seas, the bigger the monsters that exist.
To cross the sea and reach the other side of the world, Tang Xian could only wait for an opportunity, such as... a bird.
But this island was not simple either; with two Catastrophe-level boss creatures, Tang Xian was also waiting for an opportunity to communicate with them.
Mainly waiting for Tang Xiaojiu's injuries to fully heal.
The Judgnt Knight's strange rays indeed caused so trouble for Tang Xian.
Tang Xiaojiu was ultimately a Calamity-level boss creature, still a young sprout, but her various attributes had already far surpassed humans and most perfect-level creatures.
Yet the damage caused by these rays was healing very, very slowly.
Tang Xian was certain that the attack power of these rays was not great, but they could remove or suppress the "life recovery" talent.
When they first ca to the island, the poor girl's face was pale, and part of her body still showed signs of beastification, which really made Tang Xian feel a mix of distress, concern, and guilt.
Fortunately, Tang Xiaojiu pulled through in the end. Her condition improved every day, and the influence of the Judgnt Knight's bizarre rays gradually faded.
But she still couldn't display the formidable combat strength she had in the past.
It didn't matter. Without Xiaojiu for hunting, Tang Xian could still protect both of them without any problem.
...
...
After hunting a Sword-beaked Gull, Tang Xian took Tang Xiaojiu back to the tidal cave.
Walking around the island with a bundle of aromatic roasted at was very dangerous.
So Tang Xian chose to return to the cave first to try and process it.
To turn it into bait.
Tang Xiaojiu was playing boredly on the side.
"Tang Xian, how long do we have to stay here? I really miss Big Sis Suoye and Qiao, and also Ga Zhi and the fridge."
"I don't know, but as soon as the island's natives figure out how to cross the sea, we might understand how to get back today."
Tang Xian wrapped the well-done bird at with leaves from the island's King Fat Tree, making it like a cabbage roll.
He then said,
"Don't you miss Akasi and Tang Suoye?"
"Suoye eats more than , I don't miss her," Tang Xiaojiu replied righteously.
"Qiao said that when I see other girls eating delicious food, I should also think about eating, and when I see other girls shopping, I should also go shopping. That's how to live exquisitely!"
Tang Xian chuckled and asked,
"So what if you saw another girl who was delicate and cute, not picky with food, and good at studying?"
"I'd pretend I didn't see her," said Tang Xiaojiu, covering her eyes.
Tang Xian laughed heartily and said,
"Let's go fishing."
"Will we have fish to eat?"
"Not fish, leopard."
"Does leopard at taste good?"
As soon as Tang Xian stepped out of the tidal cave, Tang Xiaojiu imdiately followed.
"In 'Other Records,' it's described as sour, neutral and non-toxic. 'Qianjin: Food Therapy' also ntions sour, warm and non-toxic. 'dical Forest Compilation' is the simplest with two words: sweet, warm."
