Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 119: Drifting on the Sea and Finally Seeing an Island
Sailing on the sea is very dangerous, and if you don’t know how to sail, it is extremely dangerous.

In The Smiling, Proud World, Liu Mang had led a fleet across the ocean. It cannot be said that he did not know how to sail, but rather that he did not understand the sailing of this world.

I thought the wind and waves at sea would be the biggest challenge, but I didn't expect it to be far more than that.

puff!
A figure burst out from the water and landed on the deck, placing the large piece of meat of an unknown creature in his hand on the deck.

Da Huang came out shaking his head, walked obediently to Liu Mang and sat down, with a serious face and firm eyes, like a loyal guardian.

Looking at the fish in front of him, Liu Mang's face was quite serious. It had been almost ten days since he went out to sea. This was the fourth time he had been attacked by a big fish in the sea, and the ship had suffered some damage.

The fish from this alien world are so ferocious. Not only does it have a mouth full of sharp teeth, but its body is also quite huge, not much smaller than their boat. Even Dahuang is just a little brother after the transformation. Even the big tiger cannot be as big as this aquatic beast.

Fortunately, we have the fangs that Dahuang dropped as weapons, otherwise it would be too difficult to deal with this thing.

The process is difficult, but the result is gratifying.

Recalling the strengthening effect of tiger meat on the body, Liu Mang tried taking a portion of large fish meat to taste. As expected, the strengthening effect was even better than that of tiger meat.

This is naturally a good thing. No matter where you are, the stronger you are, the better. This world is not safe, and you must have enough capital to survive.

A big fish weighs at least a hundred tons, which obviously cannot be transported to the boat. As a dog, Dahuang hates entering the water and cannot be dragged down. Liu Mang doesn't even have a helper, so he can only cut off the most essential ten tons of fish and bring them up.

Once he was hurt, Liu Mang worked extremely hard to improve his strength. He used his many years of martial arts to speed up digestion and practice body-building techniques. He could eat 2 tons of fish in one meal. His strength increased rapidly, increasing by nearly half a ton a day. After eating fish for more than two days, his strength could increase by one ton.

Seven days later, with the help of four big fish that came to his door, Liu Mang's strength increased to 7 tons and he once again entered the stage of an advanced warrior.

When the twelfth level of strength exploded, the force was as much as 60 tons, which was no less than when he just returned to the Devouring Star from the Laughing Proud World.

But by this time, the drinking water Liu Mang brought with him had been used up, and the entire ship was in a dangerous situation with no water available.

This is really incredible. With the speed of the Dahuang power system designed by Liu Mang, it has run at least two to three thousand kilometers in ten days, and it has been heading southwest without encountering any islands or land.

Liu Mang burst into tears. Perhaps, this was his fault. He was quite "confident" in his luck.

Without land, it is impossible to replenish supplies. Water, vegetables and fruits are necessities for sea voyages, especially water.

Don’t think that the sea is all water. This sea water is completely undrinkable. It can neither quench thirst nor sustain life. The importance of fresh water resources to navigation is even greater than crossing the desert.

Liu Mang had some scientific knowledge and knew that fresh water could be obtained by distilling and condensing water vapor, but unfortunately, there was no metal. It was a bit difficult to make distillation tools with wood by hand.

The only metal object on him, a knife, was used by Liu Mang to make a water vapor condensation device, which could condense water vapor in the air to form fresh water. The humidity at sea was heavy, so he could collect 100 to 200 milliliters of water every day. But this was also limited, and it could not meet Lu Jiu's daily drinking water needs. They urgently needed to replenish a lot of water.

The fuel for daily life has been used up, and if they want to start a fire again, they can only dismantle the ship, which is of course not possible.

Without fire, the meat naturally cannot be cooked, but without water, it is really impossible to eat dry food. The two people and the dog can only grit their teeth and eat the raw fish.

These days are such a fucking shit!
Fortunately, the fish meat itself is very special, without much fishy or bloody smell. There is a faint aftertaste of sweetness when chewing it, so it is not too bad. I don’t know if it is an illusion.

Lu Jiu held a piece of fish and gnawed on it with a dull look on her face, her eyes staring blankly ahead and chewing mechanically.

I thought fish was bad enough, but I didn't expect it to be even worse and be eaten raw! Now, Lu Jiu even began to miss the days when she used to eat grilled, boiled, and stewed fish. Although it was greasy, it was much better than eating it raw.

God, please have mercy on the poor girl. I swear, I will never be picky about food again. Please let us reach land soon!
Lu Jiu prayed in her heart, longing to see land in the next second, then have a good meal, and be a good girl in the future.

The vast ocean is boundless and all blue at a glance, but suddenly, above the edge of the blue, a black shadow seems to be looming.

Lu Jiu opened her mouth wide, and the fish in her hand fell to the ground with a plop. She rubbed her eyes hard with both hands and looked in the same direction again.

The black spot is getting bigger and bigger, could it be land? ! !

Rushing to the bow in a few steps, Lu Jiu placed his hands in front of his eyes like a telescope, observing the black dot without stopping. Gradually, the black dot turned into a black shadow, and the black shadow turned into a black line, and a piece of land appeared!
"Brother——!!!" Lu Jiu shouted in surprise, and the whole person seemed to be flying, "Look, look! Land, it's land!!!"

Bang!
A slight explosion was heard, and Liu Mang stepped onto the deck and arrived in an instant, squinting at the land in the distance.

It doesn't feel too big, but it should be much larger than Lika Island. Even if no one lives there, the probability of having fresh water resources is very high. It seems that there is hope.

"Dahuang, full speed ahead!" Liu Mang held the steering wheel and headed towards the island. Lu Jiu conveyed Liu Mang's order, and the Dahuang brand power engine ran at full power!
Recently, Dahuang has made great progress in practicing physical strengthening techniques, and his strength has greatly increased. Perhaps it is because he has eaten too much high-energy food and accumulated too much energy. In 7 days, Dahuang has practiced the special physical strengthening technique to the fourth level, and his strength has reached 4 tons. After the transformation, his strength has skyrocketed by about 50 times, a full 200 tons, which is much stronger than before.

Now this medium-sized sailboat can no longer withstand his full power output. Full power refers to the full power of the power system. The core engine, Dahuang, has excess power. It seems that it is time to upgrade the ship comprehensively.

The wood used for shipbuilding originally needed to be dried in the shade for several years before use, otherwise it would easily rot. But the wood in this world seemed to be different, and some trees did not need to be dried in the shade to be excellent shipbuilding materials, such as the keel of this ship.

However, the wood used for other parts is still ordinary wood, which results in the ship's relatively poor strength and corrosion resistance. After only ten days of sailing on the sea, there are already slight signs of corrosion on the bottom of the ship. The corrosion rate will become faster and faster until it corrodes through the bottom of the ship and causes it to sink.

Fortunately, the island was within sight, so this hastily built ship could be abandoned. Once on the island, whether there were people on it or not, the dense forest would be a shipbuilding resource for him to use at will. Next time he went out to sea, he would definitely build a truly sophisticated ship, the kind that would bear a name!
