Within the Birch Forest, Zhu Xiaoxiao followed Long Sanhe as he strolled around, surveying the surroundings.
When the blazing sun hung high overhead, they returned to the beach.
They had been lucky and had not encountered any ferocious beasts along the way.
After returning to the beach, Long Sanhe found a way to make fire, and a campfire was soon burning there.
Zhu Xiaoxiao sat beside the fire, propping her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Long Sanhe did not disturb her and instead headed toward the sea.

He took several wooden sticks, skewered the fish, and set them over the fire to roast.
Ten minutes later, the scent of roasted fish drifted through the air, and Zhu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses.
"Hungry? Here, have some grilled fish." Long Sanhe handed Zhu Xiaoxiao a roasted fish.
"Thank you, Uncle Long!" Zhu Xiaoxiao accepted the fish with a smile, thanked him again, and began biting into it.

After finishing the grilled fish, the two were about to head back into the Birch Forest when the seawater suddenly churned, and a large swarm of Sharp-Toothed Blue Skin burst forth.
These Blue-skinned Fish were much larger than ordinary ones. They could somehow survive out of water, and after landing on the beach, they twisted their bodies and lunged at Zhu Xiaoxiao and Long Sanhe.
Neither of them panicked. The ethereal voice from the sky had said that all survivors would be harassed by animals within half a month.
They had encountered such things every day on the pitch-black boulder before,
