Strong revenge mentality

Jun decided it would be more enjoyable to take a bath in the seawater, which was more comfortable.

Jun actually lived in an inland city and had seen the sea only a few times.

The few times he had seen it were during hurried trips along the coastal road, and he had only glimpsed the muddy beaches, nothing special.

But this was different. What they were facing now was a vast sea.

An endless sea!

The feeling was completely different; even the sea breeze carried a salty, savory flavor.

Jun quite enjoyed the sea breeze blowing over him.

When he arrived at the beach, with no one around, he decided to take off his clothes and immerse himself in the sea.

Refreshing!

The seawater was cold but gentle.

Under the moonlight, he saw the moon's reflection in the water, hanging there at the meeting point of the sky and the sea.

If this were a vacation, Jun would have relished it.

But it wasn't!

Suddenly, something slimy wrapped around his feet.

It was cold and slippery, and it oozed a viscous liquid.

"What on earth!"

Jun jumped up like a slingshot and tried to get out of the seawater. However, he stumbled over the thing again.

"Come out if you can!"

Jun accidentally swallowed some salty seawater while trying to get away, causing him to cough.

He quickly spat it out and then cursed.

But the thing clinging to him didn't seem to want to let go easily. It was relentless and persistent!

Endless!

Jun had no weapons with him, making it difficult to fight back. What concerned him more was that this could be a sea snake or something venomous. If he were bitten, it would be a serious problem!

Cold!

Snake-like!

Most likely a sea snake!

With this thought, Jun was determined to do whatever it took to get out of the water. He didn't want to become prey!

He knew that even though he might hurt himself, giving up the fight was not an option. Being bitten or poisoned could have severe consequences!

After striking the "sea snake" several times, it finally let go of his ankle.

After all, he had just taken the Xiaoyao Pill!

He was not one to be trifled with!

Jun, however, experienced quite a bit of pain from the punches.

He quickly made his way back to the beach, checking his ankle for any signs of injury.

At the same time, he got a clear look at what was in the sea!

It wasn't a sea snake!

It was an octopus, rather large, about half the size of a human.

At this moment, it was in the sea, standing up and facing Jun.

Clearly, this creature was aggressive.

It was not an ordinary sea creature; it seemed more like a type of monster!

Jun put on his underwear, then retrieved the bright silver technology gun stuck in the sand on the beach.

Facing the octopus, he sneered, "Try this!"

The bright silver technology gun was switched into sniper mode at close range.

"Boom!"

A bullet directly exploded the octopus's body.

"Whew!"

The octopus was lifeless.

"Think you can drag me into the sea?"

"That's not happening!"

"Let's see how I cook you tonight!"

Jun had a strong sense of revenge.

In reality, the octopus hadn't caused much harm to him. It could only wrap around his ankle; it didn't possess any venom. But the shock had been enough to make him panic.

In that moment, he was a landlubber suddenly thrust into the sea and entangled by something cold.

He had even tripped, which only added to his fear!

Now, reflecting on it, he still felt a shiver down his spine.

If it had indeed been a sea snake or some other aquatic predator, it would have been a much more significant problem!

He dragged the freshly deceased octopus to the shore and brought it back to the safe base.

There was no equipment to build a fire, no pots or pans, and no way to cook it.

His only available food was the canned meat he had obtained earlier.

However, while Jun was contemplating what to do, he noticed two fruits that seemed to have grown in the backyard.

Jun had confirmed that the explanation for the desert island's backyard was that it could produce fruits from planted plant seeds, which could then be turned into dried food.

In other words, planting plant seeds was necessary to obtain a harvest.

So, why had these fruits suddenly appeared on their own?

"Ali, did you do this?"

"Master, no, Ahri doesn't have this ability!"

"Then how did they grow on their own?" Jun found it quite perplexing.

Logically, you had to sow seeds to reap a harvest.

The sudden appearance of these two fruits was indeed unexpected.

"Master, according to Ah Li's search, there are two possibilities."

"What are the possibilities?"

Jun didn't expect Secretary Ah Li had a search function.

This would be quite convenient for future inquiries.

"One possibility is that there may have been seeds in the bird droppings, which happened to fall in your backyard."

"And the other possibility?"

"Someone may have secretly come here and planted them for you."

Jun knew that nobody had been to this place. The absence of light made it possible to grow these fruits in just three hours.

He had been focused on preparing for a battle with the slimes, so no one could have secretly planted the seeds.

However, around the time of dusk, many seabirds were returning from the sea, and there were large flocks of birds flying overhead.

It was possible that their droppings had contained the seeds.

Now, there was no need to worry; at least there was a pleasant surprise awaiting them.

Jun picked one of the fruits. It was firm and green, likely a tropical fruit.

He took a bite and immediately spat it out.

"What is this?"

It was bitter and astringent!
