Sea Monkey

[Sea Monkey]

Strength: 3.5

Constitution: 3.5

Spirit: 1

Description: Possesses great strength and a high pain threshold; firearms are unlikely to be fatal unless they strike a vital spot. This is one of the monsters that new survivors might encounter after their seven-day protection period ends. Due to the protective power of the island, it will not attack the island within those seven days, but it may appear in the surrounding waters. It is advised not to court death by diving into the water.

Combat Power Comparison: Can be defeated on land, but it is easy to be exhausted to death by the opponent underwater.

Could it be that the fellow who bravely went diving, the one mentioned in the Communication Channel last time, ran into this thing?

Catching a fleeting glimpse of the monster's body as it submerged back into the water, Su Yu naturally used his Insight Talent to perceive the creature's information.

At this moment, Su Yu was not particularly panicked. After all, a large part of human fear stems from the unknown; when all the information is laid out before one's eyes, many people can accept it at a very fast pace.

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Su Yu quickly scanned the area of the sea surface illuminated by the light, but after a full circle, he found no trace of the Water Monkey.

Could it be that it dove into the depths, making it impossible to perceive?

After standing in place and thinking for a moment, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to dwell on it any further. After all, the Insight Talent had already indicated that even if that ghost of a thing wanted to attack the island, it would have to wait until after the novice protection period. Thinking too much about it now was useless; it was better to fish for more items to strengthen his own capabilities.

And so, the carefree Su Yu began searching for a suitable fishing spot once again.

[Below this part of the sea surface, there are traces of a five-star treasure chest. Fishing is recommended.]

After scanning the area, Su Yu moved to a new position and locked onto a fishing spot. He skillfully hooked the Enhanced Bait, cast his line, and then began the tedious waiting process.

He didn't know if fishing at night provided some sort of hidden buff or what, but even though Su Yu had prepared himself to wait for ten or twenty minutes for the underwater treasure chest to take the bait, the float suddenly plunged beneath the surface less than three minutes after the bait hit the water.

[★★★★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: Contains one Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber.

Fishing Technique: Pull and release, alternating tension.

[Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber]

Description: Forged from Hundred-Refined Black Iron, it cuts through iron like mud and is incredibly sharp.

Detailed Information: The blade is 118cm long and 3.5cm wide. It features a straight blade body with a curve in the final quarter near the tip and a back edge.

"Oh, a melee weapon has arrived." After reading the notification floating before his eyes, a thought couldn't help but pop into Su Yu's mind.

Following the prompts from his Insight Talent, Su Yu didn't take long to haul the treasure chest from the bottom of the water up onto the shore.

After all, Su Yu's physique and strength had increased significantly, making the task of reeling in treasure chests much less strenuous.

As soon as the chest hit the shore, Su Yu couldn't wait to open this five-star treasure chest. Instantly, under the effect of the Double Happiness talent, two Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Sabers stood planted directly into the ground before him.

The blades of the Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Sabers stuck in the ground flashed with a cold, sharp glint, a testament to their unparalleled sharpness.

Reaching out to grip a hilt, Su Yu drew the saber and swung it casually. He immediately found the weapon to be extremely well-balanced, whether in terms of weight or any other aspect.

In truth, if an average survivor were to obtain this saber right now, they wouldn't be able to unleash much of its power. Their strength and physique wouldn't keep up, and they would be panting with exhaustion after only a few swings.

As for Su Yu, his current physique and strength were sufficient to use the Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber fluidly, which was why it felt so natural to him. Had his attributes not been improved, he likely wouldn't have been much different from the other survivors.

With the sharpness of this blade, it should be enough to decapitate a Water Monkey in one strike! Su Yu flicked the blade lightly, using the Water Monkey as a benchmark.

He silently offered a three-second moment of silence for any Water Monkey that dared to target his island.

Su Yu began hacking away with the Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber in a disorganized fashion. After slashing at the empty air a dozen times, he casually sheathed the blade.

With Su Yu's current strength and physique, if a Sea Monkey dared to land on the island, it would undoubtedly be killed in a single strike.

Although Su Yu had never systematically practiced swordsmanship, there was a saying that "a chaotic flurry of strikes can kill a master." As long as his strength and speed were up to par, it would be very difficult for a creature like a Water Monkey, which had lower base attributes than him, to dodge his strikes.

Having started his night fishing with a bang, Su Yu began to stroll around the edge of the island again.

[A cluster of two-star treasure chests is located beneath the sea surface here; it is recommended to cast a net.]

"Bring me the fishing net." After finding a spot to cast, Su Yu shouted to the few Goblins.

Hearing Su Yu's call, the Goblins immediately picked up the Simple Fishing Net and rushed over.

Taking the Simple Fishing Net from the Goblins, Su Yu skillfully attached ten portions of Common Bait and cast the net out.

It had to be said that for someone like Su Yu, who had an absurd amount of Common Bait, this Simple Fishing Net was truly a beginner's artifact for the early stages!

After tying off the net rope, Su Yu repeated the process, found another casting spot, and threw out a second net.

Meanwhile, Wang Teng, who had also chosen to go night fishing instead of sleeping, was nearly scared out of his wits.

It turned out that just a moment ago, Wang Teng had set up two large flashlights he'd opened from a treasure chest earlier that day. Just as he was about to relieve himself into the ocean, a dark, shadowy figure suddenly flashed across the sea surface not far from him.

The sight made Wang Teng shiver violently, and he nearly urinated on his own hands.

A few seconds later, when Wang Teng finally reacted, he quickly retreated several steps, pulled up his pants with lightning speed, and stared nervously at the sea.

"Damn it, there wouldn't be a Sea Ghost, would there?" Thinking of the Jinpo and Sea Ghosts from horror novels, Wang Teng couldn't help but swallow hard to relieve the pressure in his heart.

"Fuck, I shouldn't be hallucinating, right?" Thinking this, Wang Teng pinched his thigh hard.

The next second, he gasped in pain.

"Hiss, what the Hammer, there really are monsters in the sea!"
