The sky gradually grew dark and the temperature dropped. Zhang Xuan and Xu Jing set up a campfire in front of their tent.
Xu Jing occasionally glanced at Zhang Xuan, suddenly feeling very fortunate. If she had not had Zhang Xuan and had been left to fend for herself here alone, she likely would not have waited for rescue and would have simply faced death.
"Zhang Xuan, thank you!" she blurted out, turning to face him.
"What's there to thank? We're fellow castaways, helping each other out is only right." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.
The sky grew dark quickly. In less than half an hour, everything was pitch black. The sea breeze howled by, stirring the seawater up and down and making a splashing sound.
On the beach, there was a rustling noise as large groups of sand crabs emerged and crawled about everywhere foraging for food at extreme speed.
Smack! A reckless sand crab bumped into Zhang Xuan, who was sitting on the beach, and was instantly pinned down and grabbed with one hand.
The system voice rang out on cue.
Ding! Detected that the host has obtained one sand crab, rewarded one hundred sand crabs, placed in the system space, recite mentally to extract.
Zhang Xuan smiled and didn't pay much mind, instead turning his gaze to Xu Jing with a slight smile.
"Hungry? Shall we go catch some sand crabs?"
He raised the sand crab in his hand and shook it.
Xu Jing nodded with a smile and stood up.
Of course she was hungry; when Zhang Xuan saved her, she had only drunk a little coconut water, and building the shelter had long since exhausted her energy, leaving her stomach rumbling for a while now.
The sand crabs were particularly abundant on this beach.
