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

After an hour's journey, Jin Xiaoman finally arrived at the anchor point from her previous exploration.

Compared to before the rainy season, there are many more plants on the cliff, and unknown vines have climbed all over the shady side.

For some reason, Jin Xiaoman felt that the scene in front of her was a bit awkward. She touched the vines a couple of times, but apart from the unexpectedly slippery surface, she didn't find anything special.

She brought up her personal panel, just as she was about to take two photos to post in the group chat and ask if anyone knew about this plant, when she heard a very light sound behind her, like gravel falling on leaves.

"Is it a sand skeleton?"

Jin Xiaoman became alert, took out a bottle of basic mental energy recovery potion from her backpack and drank it, then held a fireball skill card in her hand.

A gentle breeze blew from behind her, carrying a faint earthy smell. Jin Xiaoman turned around abruptly and threw her skill card in the direction of the noise.

At the same time, information about the Sand Skeleton popped up on the personal panel.

【Name: Sha Hai】

Strength: 10

Agility: 13

Defense Value: 17

Rating: One star

As its name suggests, the Sand Skeleton is a skeleton filled with yellow sand, its surface covered with cracked lines. It has no pupils or eyes, and its whole body exudes death and desolation. When it moves slightly, some fine sand falls from its body, disappearing instantly after hitting the ground.

The Sand Skeleton's stats are all higher than the Ghoul's, with its defense value even exceeding 10 points. A single Fireball skill card is no longer enough to kill it.

Remembering the information Ning Jiao Wo Bei Tianxia Ren had about Sha Hai, Jin Xiaoman quickly raised her arm, and the hidden arrow was launched from the nozzle, piercing straight towards Sha Hai's brow.

However, although the sand skeleton's movements remained stiff, it dodged all three arrows. The arrows only destroyed half of its cheek and one arm, and these were quickly filled back by sand that appeared out of nowhere. In just two seconds, it was completely restored.

Jin Xiaoman took two steps back, took out his long spear, and stood at attention.

As Jin Xiaoman came to a standstill, the sand skeleton seemed to lose its target. It stood helplessly in place, circling around, before finally turning to leave.

"Is it possible that the sand skeleton cannot detect stationary objects?"

Taking advantage of the moment when Sha Hai turned around, Jin Xiaoman raised her hidden arrow again and fired three arrows in quick succession.

This time, it hit the center of the forehead perfectly.

As the yellow sand slid to the ground, the skeleton disintegrated, revealing a purified heart and a treasure chest before Jin Xiaoman.

Jin Xiaoman shared her findings in a small group chat.

The bighorn bull puffed out its chest and charged forward, jumping up and down: "Looks like 'I'd rather betray the world' still hasn't taught me a lesson; they dare to hide such important information."

Number 2775: [It's also possible he genuinely doesn't know; at least what he's said so far is true, so there's no need to press him too much.]

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [That makes sense.]

[Message number 2775 was retracted.]

Upon seeing the group notification, Jin Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. It seemed that this matter wouldn't be resolved until those three actually trained with her for a period of time.

After uploading photos of the vines to the small group, she continued exploring.

The good feng shui of the cliff is no joke; she hadn't walked far when she saw a vine with small yellow flowers, and in some places, it even bore long, green fruits.

"It's a cucumber."

[Beep beep, Level 4 radiation detected. Consumption is not recommended.]

Jin Xiaoman quickly walked two steps to the cliff, looking around to find the roots of the cucumber vines. Unfortunately, the vines on the cliff all looked similar, crisscrossing and indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Jin Xiaoman tried to grasp the main vine of the cucumber vine and groped her way over, but the main vine would sometimes entangle with other vines to form a strange "big bundle", and sometimes climb so high that she could not reach it at all.

"Oh well, the seeds from the old cucumber plant can still be planted, so it'll just be a few days later."

Jin Xiaoman chose to forgive herself and the cucumber, thus creating a beautiful story.

She placed her hand on a section of cucumber vine and used her mind to store the vine into her spatial dimension. After a brief silence, Jin Xiaoman looked at the vine that had appeared in her spatial dimension and fell into deep thought.

She thought that at worst the cucumber vines wouldn't be able to be pulled back up at the roots, but she didn't expect that only a very short section of the vines would be pulled back up.

She took out the vine and compared it to the cliff face, finding that its length was exactly the distance between the two "big bags". A question lingered in her mind: Is there anything special about this "big bag"?

Jin Xiaoman took two steps back, and she suddenly understood why she felt awkward when she first saw the cliff.

These bulky "bags" covered the entire cliff face, appearing very out of place alongside the slender vines. From a distance, it looked as if the vines had woven a large green net around the cliff.

As Jin Xiaoman reached out to touch the vines again, a squeaking sound suddenly came from behind her, very urgent, similar to the sound she heard when she first encountered the ghoul.

The squirrel jumped down from the tree and quickly climbed onto Jin Xiaoman's shoulder, anxiously using sign language.

Jin Xiaoman swore to God that she had really tried very hard to understand, but the squirrel's movements were nothing more than opening its arms, raising them above its head, bringing them back, and opening its arms again.

Seeing that Jin Xiaoman didn't understand, the squirrel didn't react much, but it became anxious when Jin Xiaoman tried to get closer to the vine.

Jin Xiaoman patted the squirrel's tail to comfort it, and under the squirrel's wary gaze, picked a cucumber.

The squirrel didn't react much this time.

"It seems there is indeed a problem with the vines."

Jin Xiaoman tucked the squirrel into her bosom to hide what she was doing. Then she took out a dagger, intending to cut open a "big bag" to see what secrets it held. As soon as the dagger touched the vines, Jin Xiaoman frowned. It didn't feel like she was cutting a plant; it felt more like she was cutting a very thick wooden board.

Despite her tremendous efforts, she could only cut three surface vines. At this rate, she wouldn't be able to do anything else for the next few days.

Jin Xiaoman sent a private message to user ID 2775: "Bro, do you have a chainsaw? Or any weapon that can quickly cut objects?"

Item number 2775 quickly sent a chainsaw: [Not sure if there's enough oil.]

Money Abounds: [No problem, I'll figure out another way if it's not enough, thanks.]

Jin Xiaoman tried to start the chainsaw. A buzzing sound rang out, and in an instant, the squirrel in her arms seemed to have cleared its eyes a lot.

With the help of the chainsaw, the "big bag" was cut open in no time. Jin Xiaoman rummaged around inside for a while and found that it was solid, filled with nothing but vines.

"Could I have guessed wrong?"

Jin Xiaoman started the chainsaw and aimed it at the second "big package".
