342. Environmentalist

The island is very large, with a vast beach behind which are thickets of trees resembling coconut palms, their broad leaves providing ample shade from the sun.

Further on, you can see some dense forests and mountains. I don't know if there are any people on the island, but at least there weren't any on the beach that Lu Ban saw.

Stepping back onto the ground, Amber's legs felt weak. After a night of bumpy travel, even if she managed to get some sleep, she was constantly disturbed by nightmares and couldn't sleep peacefully.

She knelt on the beach, oblivious to the sand on her clothes. A sense of relief, a feeling of having survived a disaster, overwhelmed her, making it difficult for this young girl, who had encountered such an ordeal on her first long trip, to calm down.

"I wonder if the fruit on these is edible."

Lu Ban kicked the tree that was bearing several fruits.

"Don't come any closer! It's dangerous under this tree. If you're not careful, fruit will fall and hit you. Ouch!"

Before Lu Ban could finish speaking, he was hit on the head by a falling fruit.

"Are you... are you alright?!"

Amber jumped up in fright and rushed to Lu Ban's side. She saw that his head was bleeding profusely and looked quite serious.

"I am the Word Spirit of salvation."

She was a little flustered, recalling the knowledge she had learned before, and didn't care that she was covered in blood.

However, Lu Ban quickly sat up.

His head was covered in blood, making him look somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the grass has already grown."

Lu Ban reassured her, while patting his own head.

Grass has grown on the wound, and the grass even looks a bit like the leaves of that tree.

Amber's eyes widened as she stared at the grass on Lu Ban's head.

Lu Ban's bleeding stopped quickly. He washed his face with seawater and picked up the fruit that had cracked open his head.

It has to be said that Lu Ban's head is quite hard; he even managed to crack open a fruit that looked like it had a hard shell.

The flesh inside was exposed; it was white and juicy.

It's similar to a coconut.

Lu Ban smelled it, then reached out and tasted the pulp and juice inside.

It tastes great.

He had never eaten a real coconut, only drunk the boxed coconut juice he had been drinking since childhood, so he didn't know if a real coconut tasted like this.

"Would you like some? This fruit should be good for hydration."

Lu Ban handed the fruit, which still had a little bit of his blood on it, to Amber.

"?"

Amber looked at the fruit that seemed to still contain some of Lu Ban's brain matter, and hesitated for a moment whether she should catch it.

"Oh, you think I've already had enough, right? No problem, I can have another one. Just go a little further away."

Lu Ban considerately told Amber to stand outside with the fruit in her arms.

He kicked the tree again, and after a while, another fruit fell down.

"The shells of this fruit can be kept and used as containers; you can use them to make fish soup or something in the evening."

Lu Ban used a knife to pry open the fruit shell, handed it to Amber, and then picked up the fruit that had smashed open his head and gulped down a big mouthful.

Amber looked at the fruit in her hand, hesitated for a moment, but decided to drink it for the sake of survival.

The taste was surprisingly good. After finishing the drink, Amber felt a little residue on the corner of her mouth and subconsciously licked it with her tongue.

"We don't know if there will be another storm, so we need to find a place to shelter from the storm."

Lu Ban looked at the clear sky. The weather was unpredictable where warm and cold currents met, not to mention that last night's storm was caused by the witch's Word Spirit.

Moreover, there were other things that worried Lu Ban.

[Hostile invading Chosen of the Gods found: 1/2]

[Kill the hostile invading Chosen of the Gods: 1/2]

Clearly, there were two invading Chosen of the Gods. One of them had already been thrown into the sea by Lu Ban to feed the Tentacle Shadow, while the other seemed to have escaped the shadows' attack, or perhaps he wasn't even on the ship to begin with; in any case, he was still alive.

In normal circumstances, after such an accident, it would be hard not to believe that the Amber had perished at sea.

However, the Chosen of the Gods on the other side have given them a mission notification, which means they clearly know that Amber is still alive. Therefore, they are very likely to send people to hunt her down, or even take action themselves.

Compared to wilderness survival, the Chosen of the Gods are more threatening.

Having gathered some fallen leaves and twigs to live on, Lu Ban was still studying the location of the island when he saw Amber looking around anxiously.

"Did you find anything?"

Lu Ban tensed up.

Perhaps the shrine maiden's senses are extraordinary, and she might be able to discover things that Lu Ban cannot.

Upon seeing Lu Ban, Amber became even more startled. She fidgeted and turned her face away shyly.

"Could there be something wrong with your health? Let me get checked out."

Perhaps the wound got infected in the seawater, or maybe the food she ate damaged her delicate stomach. With the idea of early detection and early treatment in mind, Lu Ban came closer to check Amber's body.

"No, no!"

Amber took two steps back.

"Bathroom"

She muttered a word under her breath.

"?"

A question mark appeared above my head.

So even shrine maidens need to use the toilet?

He also thought that such practitioners should have learned to transform food into essence and chakra, storing it as energy.

After all, Lu Ban himself no longer needs to excrete. The things he digests can be turned into fertilizer for photosynthesis. As long as there is sunlight, water and nutrients, it can be infinitely internally Loop without even causing excessive carbon emissions. It can be said to be quite environmentally friendly. Even if some environmental princess from Northern Europe came to beat him up, she wouldn't be able to find any problems.

"There are bushes over there."

Lu Ban pointed to the area near the woods.

"?"

Amber was stunned, her face turning completely red.

"Because human excrement can contaminate water and food, it's best to designate a separate area."

Before Lu Ban could finish speaking, Amber picked up a piece of wood from the ground and hit him with it.

She immediately ran away and disappeared into the bushes.

"What a pity, it's clearly very practical wilderness survival knowledge."

Lu Ban said regretfully.

He caught a few fish from Laika, and using the wilderness survival knowledge he had seen on TV, he made a device to collect fresh water. He also knocked down two fruits to make soup to replenish his nutrition and water and warm his body.

After doing all that, Lu Ban saw Amber return with a flushed face.

"Oh, right, I wasn't finished. You should bury it after you're done, because this special smell might attract predators. So you should cover it with sand. That spot was downwind, and the sea breeze will quickly disperse the smell. If you don't know how to bury it, I'll come help you later."

Snap—

Lu Ban's head was hit by the wooden stick again.

He didn't know why Amber was like this; perhaps the pressure of surviving on a deserted island was too great.

In the evening, after enjoying a delicious soup made with fish and shellfish, Lu Ban was still studying the starry sky when he heard some strange sounds.

The sound seemed to come from deep within the island.

That voice... it sounded like a person?
