Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

Jin Xiaoman sighed, but still threw the hair tie, which landed right in front of the Golden-Eyed Crocodile.

As she expected, the golden-eyed crocodile's eyes cleared for a moment, its gaze following the hair tie, and finally staring at it blankly.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment, with every minute and second feeling like an eternity.

Finally, the golden-eyed crocodile reacted. It turned its head again, paused for a few seconds, and then actually spoke: "&%……@!"

Jin Xiaoman and Zhan Dou looked at each other and high-fived in celebration. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had made the right bet.

The divine vision revealed that the Golden-Eyed Crocodile's mutation level was 90%, and it was not yet fully transformed.

Furthermore, Didi said that it occasionally reacts to pretty stones, indicating that these can stimulate it.

Just as hair ties are cherished even when dipped in beans, it's likely that Golden-Eyed Crocodile does the same.

Dipping Bean shook Jin Xiaoman's arm, its tone somewhat urgent: "What did it say?"

Jin Xiaoman looked at the squirrel.

The squirrel shook its head; it and the furball couldn't understand this time either.

Jin Xiaoman had a sudden inspiration. She took out the Star River Language Library she bought at the auction and searched frantically with Zhan Dou. Finally, they found a matching syllable in a corner.

The two crawled forward a few steps and held the book up for the golden-eyed crocodile to see.

The golden-eyed crocodile was clearly stunned, its eyes filled with disbelief.

It is the script of its homeland.

It nodded excitedly: "*@……!&*".

Dipping Beans: "Your pronunciation is off, sister."

Jin Xiaoman: "The grammar is also incorrect."

Seeing the two's confused expressions, the golden-eyed crocodile's expression changed from happy to disappointed: "@#￥……&*."

After a long pause, Lilith finally couldn't stand it anymore. Her voice came from inside the necklace: "Haven't you realized your book is a pirated copy after all this time?"

Jin Xiaoman: "Huh?"

Jin Xiaoman was taken aback. She first circled around looking for the black figure, but couldn't find it. She figured it was either not nearby or on its way.

Then, to my surprise, the book I bought at the auction was a pirated copy.

This was bought at an auction in the Vilanor Empire, which is the most powerful and highest-dimensional being she knows of.

They actually sold her pirated books?

Jin Xiaoman felt inexplicably guilty. If the book was pirated and the translation was flawed, then what about that certain red vine in her yard...?

Lilith: "This silly fish said, 'How amazing! It has actually regained its senses, even if it's only temporary.'"

She also said, "Kill it quickly, it won't resist."

Jin Xiaoman translated truthfully.

Dipping Beans looked on incredulously: "Money is plentiful, don't try to fool me. The book is right here, if I can't translate it, then you translate it."

Jin Xiaoman understood. The voice inside the necklace was inaudible. She smiled confidently and said, "The journey of the strong is always full of doubts. I will always be tolerant of you."

She looked up at the air and said, "We've set a trap; let's let it pass through in a bit."

Golden-eyed Crocodile: "Okay, I'll go, but I can't hold on for long, at most five minutes. You guys better hurry."

Jin Xiaoman sent the message to number 2775 as it was, and number 2775 replied that he had received it.

He sent me the coordinates: "Give me three more minutes."

Jin Xiaoman relayed this to Lilith, and the Golden-Eyed Crocodile said that this distance would be covered in the blink of an eye.

Things were going incredibly smoothly. Jin Xiaoman nudged Zhan Dou with her elbow and said, "We have three minutes left. Let's chat while we can. I'll translate for you."

Lilith: "I have two requests: first, you must not ask about the anomaly; second, you must not ask about its past."

Jin Xiaoman's little scheme was instantly exposed and she was retaliated against.

Dipping Beans: "Then please ask it for me if it has that healing spell, and if it still hurts when injured?"

Golden-eyed Crocodile: "It doesn't hurt."

Lilith's voice sounded somewhat exasperated: "It's treatment, not anesthesia."

Jin Xiaoman only translated the first sentence.

Dipping beans in the water and sniffing, I wondered, "Why is it so nice to me?"

Lilith: "This involves the past. I'll warn you once. After three warnings, I will no longer translate for you."

Jin Xiaoman noticed where Lilith was and looked over. Lilith no longer hid herself and openly squatted on a tree branch.

It remained as elegant and composed as ever. Jin Xiaoman felt that it now truly resembled a mountain king.

Jin Xiaoman looked at Zhan Dou and said, "Let's ask another question."

Dipstick grabbed Jin Xiaoman's arm and said somewhat incoherently, "Now that it's awake, it means there's still hope. What should we do? In exchange, I'll work for you for the rest of my life."

Lilith's voice was clear and melodious, but her words were unusually cold: "This involves an anomaly. Second warning."

This time, Jin Xiaoman didn't relay the message immediately. She could tell that Zhan Dou really liked the Golden-Eyed Crocodile, so she secretly used the purification space.

She remembered that on her first day in the survival game on the deserted island, she encountered a mutated wild boar, and the result at the time was that the purification space could remove the radiation from its body.

Perhaps the golden-eyed crocodile could also work.

[Ding, the mutated beast Golden-Eyed Crocodile has been detected to have mutated, and the degree of mutation is as high as 92%, which has completely exceeded the energy range that the purification space can bear.]

A gentle reminder from the game's awareness: Divine punishment has descended; players other than the *** clan are advised not to take any action to interfere.

[Ding! Player with abundant wealth has been detected attempting to save the *** clan. Divine punishment has been imposed: one-tenth of the player's abundant wealth in-game currency... 0.1!]

Jin Xiaoman could even detect a hint of disbelief in the mechanical voice; the tone rose considerably at the end.

She checked her balance in disbelief and found that she really only had 0.9 left.

Lilith's slightly helpless voice came through: "What have you done, Jin Xiaoman?"

Jin Xiaoman turned around innocently: "I have some props, I want to try and see if it works..."

Lilith: "I said, kill her. In the meantime, do nothing else."

Jin Xiaoman roughly guessed why Lilith was so adamant, and could only truthfully relay the message to Zhan Dou: "Ask for something that will pass censorship."

Knowing she wouldn't get the truth about the Golden-Eyed Crocodile's mutation, Dip Bean honestly told what she wanted to say: "You know what? I really like you. I feel like you smell like my mother."

The golden-eyed crocodile's eyes sparkled: "Really?"

Dipping Beans: "Really."

The golden-eyed crocodile happily swung its tail, accidentally knocking away several more trees and severely damaging Dip Bean's safe house.

Instantly, the system's shrill alarm filled Didi's ears: [Alarm! Alarm! Player Didi's safe house has been attacked by a terrifying mutated beast, with a damage rate of 60%. Players are requested to subdue the mutated beast and collect materials to repair it.]

The repair materials are as follows: 10000 game coins, 1000 wood, 500 stone, 500 vines, and 50 purification hearts.

Dipping Bean laughed out loud: "What are you doing? Just because my safe house is empty doesn't mean you can actually cause trouble."

The golden-eyed crocodile sheepishly tucked its tail under its body: "You know where my cave is, right? There are treasure chests inside, all collected for you. Remember to take them all, don't let anyone else steal them."

Jin Xiaoman: "She warned you to be careful, or I might steal your things."

The golden-eyed crocodile grinned and nodded, "That's right, that's right."
