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

So this deer has supernatural abilities; no wonder its danger level is so high.

Jin Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat. She slowed her movements, carefully crouching back behind the bushes, trying not to make a sound.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard a "thud," the sound of a stone falling to the ground.

However, she remained motionless, lying in the grass and silently counting.

At the same time, the elk cautiously scanned its surroundings.

Within its limited intelligence, if the stone was deliberately thrown by a creature, then letting the stone fall to the ground would make that creature lower its guard and think that it had closed its eyes again.

In this way, the creature will emerge, and I can take the opportunity to kill her.

This trick had always worked for it, but unfortunately, it miscalculated this time.

Just as the elk was running out of patience and preparing to get up and survey its surroundings, three fireballs suddenly shot out from the nearby bushes, flying directly toward the elk.

The fireballs were too fast; the elk tried its best to dodge, but one still hit it.

"Ugh—Ugh—"

The deer cried out in pain, its limbs flailing and leaving tracks on the ground.

Jin Xiaoman remained lying on the ground; she had strained her back from moving too quickly.

She cast an invisibility spell on herself, grimaced, clutched her back, and crawled on the ground toward the deer.

Ultimately, this fireball skill card only deals ten damage, which is not enough to instantly kill a deer.

The fireball blasted a large hole in the left side of the deer's body, tearing flesh and blood apart, a truly horrific sight.

It angrily looked around, finally fixing its gaze on Jin Xiaoman's hiding place.

Jin Xiaoman held her breath and took out a lightning strike talisman from her backpack.

Take advantage of the moment when the elk is gathering strength for a sprint, and quickly throw it out.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky. This time, the deer had no chance to dodge and was struck squarely in the neck. With a thud, it fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Blood kept gushing from its mouth, its eyes fixed on the spot where Jin Xiaoman was hiding. Damn it, it was so close! It could almost smell something different over there.

It has a delicious, fresh taste.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Full of Money" for successfully hunting 1 Silent Deer, 1 Rice Seed, and 1 Auction Ticket.]

Auction Ticket: Lucky little guy, congratulations on winning the opportunity to participate in the once-in-a-century grand auction of the Vilanor Empire. Here, you can find any item you want, as long as you have enough wealth.

How to activate the ticket: Have 100,000 game coins.

In the past two days, Jin Xiaoman has killed dozens of mutated beasts, and this is the first time he has received a report and an extra reward.

The personal panel also issued a notification at this time, indicating that the exploration progress of the island, which had not been touched until now, had increased to 2%.

She glanced at the kill rewards, her gaze lingering for a moment when she saw the Vilanor Empire, before she crouched down to examine the deer carcass.

Aside from its special ability, it doesn't seem to have anything special about it.

Although she had a guess in her mind, she couldn't be sure yet.

With nothing else around, Jin Xiaoman had no choice but to clean up the battlefield first. She put the deer into her spatial storage for purification and sale, and put the treasure chest and purification heart into her backpack.

According to the description of Nanshanzi in the basic spirit recovery potion, the main thing needed is fruit.

Yellow fruits are ripe and can be used, while greenish fruits are unripe and should not be used at this time.

Whether it's usable or not, it still needs to be dug up and brought back to the safe house.

Since Nanshanzi is a plant, the hoe was not very convenient to use at this time, so Jin Xiaoman simply bought a shovel from the store.

She tried it twice, and sure enough, her speed improved.

The weather during the rainy season is unpredictable; a deserted island that was just sunny and clear can suddenly be covered with dark clouds.

Jin Xiaoman put on a raincoat the moment she noticed.

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, accompanied by a loud clap of thunder, a light drizzle began to fall, and it seemed to be getting heavier.

She also plans to dig up all the wild herbs she didn't take with her back then.

The rain would delay their journey, so Jin Xiaoman had to speed up her work.

Half an hour later, the rain poured down.

Fortunately, Nanshanzi had already been completely excavated by this time.

Just as Jin Xiaoman was about to leave, she suddenly heard a sound that did not sound like rain falling on withered leaves or soil.

That was the sound of rain hitting the water's surface.

There is a water source nearby!

Jin Xiaoman immediately followed the sound.

Not far from where the Nanshanzi plant grows, a large pond appears, which could even be described as a lake.

[Beep beep, Level 4 radiation detected in water source; drinking is not recommended.]

Jin Xiaoman was overjoyed, not only because she had discovered a new water source, but also because with such a large water volume, there must be fish in it.

If you're lucky, you might even get shrimp, crabs, or other seafood.

Unfortunately, I don't have time today, and the situation isn't suitable.

Jin Xiaoman hurriedly set up an anchor point by the pond and headed towards the location of Bai Xiangcao.

Unlike yesterday's heavy rain, today's rain is accompanied by strong winds.

Countless fallen leaves were swept into the sky, and rainwater poured down the branches and leaves, forming streams that washed away the mud underfoot.

What should have been a 20-minute journey took nearly 40 minutes today.

Upon arriving at the location of the Hundred Herbs, Jin Xiaoman didn't dare to delay for a moment. She used a hoe to turn over the soil and, without caring what she dug out, put it into a cloth bag.

Despite this, by the time he got back to the safe house, his mental strength had dropped to five points.

The rain reached its heaviest point at this time, with strong winds whipping up torrential rain that pounded down from the sky. Tree branches as thick as an arm hung in the air, and the world was shrouded in a white mist, the rain so dense that almost no light could penetrate.

Jin Xiaoman can collect the water from the outdoor water tank every five minutes.

Many players complained in the public chat channel that the weather was so bad that even with a raincoat, they couldn't go out at all.

I finally found a patch of wild vegetables, but it was heavily radioactive, and before I could even dig up two, a torrential downpour started. Why am I so unlucky?

Don't even mention it. I was digging for insects on a hillside when suddenly a gust of wind and rain started. Luckily, I was quick-witted enough to grab onto a tree, or I would have been blown away.

[The mint field I just found was destroyed by the torrential rain.]

Jin Xiaoman lay in the bathtub, watching everyone's comments, and sighed at the difficulty of the survival game.

However, it must be said that in such terrible weather conditions as a raging storm outside, there is no need to force oneself to go out, as the wind and rain are completely blocked, and the safe house is quiet and warm.

It was a rare moment of leisure.

She really liked this feeling.

After taking a bath, she moved the beanbag chair near the window.

I made myself a simple egg fried rice in a small pot, and also had a bottle of soda with it.

The squirrel had also rushed back from outside, soaking wet.

Jin Xiaoman picked it up and hugged it, then wiped its body with a towel. This time, it did not resist.

There was some food on the table next to them, and Jin Xiaoman took a piece of beef and handed it to the squirrel.

The squirrel hesitated for a moment before taking the item.

Jin Xiaoman chuckled softly, her hands continuing their work.

After the squirrel finished eating, Jin Xiaoman dried its fur.

A man and a mouse nestled comfortably in a beanbag chair, covered with a fluffy blanket, and quietly watched the rain for a while.
