Chapter Summaries

Yang Yi completed preparations for making large containers and Sea Salt Grenades, while Su Na created a potion that let her sail at night. Yang Yi experienced the feast reveler ability’s dangerous appetite, then slept as Su Na took over sailing.

• Yang Yi settled on three sizes of containers and tested a furnace for making glass and metal items, though his attempts to cast throwing darts produced poor-quality weapons.
• Su Na gave Yang Yi her new Fluorescent Eyeball Potion, which intensified his existing night vision, and he shared its information with her.
• Su Na took over sailing while Yang Yi went to rest, as his Stamina was low and she could now navigate at night.
• Yang Yi secretly ate a piece of the feast cake, suffered a powerful appetite and lost 20 Sanity, then found his feast reveler weakness replaced by boosts to Constitution, Strength, and Agility.
• Yang Yi worried that his hunger made him see Su Na as food, drank Vitality Coconut Juice Refresher, and fell asleep while planning to resume sailing and craft supplies later.

Yang Yi woke from a changed nightmare, fed his Greedy Stomach, and killed a Jet-Type Meat Lump for a box of protein bars. The packaging bore a symbol matching his Stone of Truth, which he concealed from Su Na before preparing to test the Stomach Pouch with seawater.

• Yang Yi checked that his belly stitches were intact, then fed the Greedy Stomach pastries until its capacity rose from 10 to 10.1 cubic meters.
• Yang Yi sailed through the night, observed the sunrise with Three Eyes, and saw nothing unusual.
• Yang Yi killed a Jet-Type Meat Lump with Sea Salt and the Bone Arms, then put it in the Gacha Machine.
• Yang Yi found a Stone of Truth symbol on the protein-bar box and hid the stone when Su Na noticed it.
• Yang Yi decided not to give Su Na the Stone of Truth and went to test the Stomach Pouch with seawater.

Yang Yi fed White Seawater to the Stomach Pouch, causing it to evolve into an Exceptional relic with a capacity of thirty-two cubic meters before he subdued and tied it up. He and Su Na continued toward the Farmer, preparing salt grenades for the approaching encounter.

• Yang Yi let the Stomach Pouch drink White Seawater until its capacity reached thirty-two cubic meters and it evolved into the Food-Addicted Greedy Stomach.
• When the Stomach Pouch tried to swallow him, Yang Yi blasted it with Buckshot, then tied its mouth shut and hung it at his waist.
• Yang Yi steered the Nightmare Star away from approaching Meat Lumps while Su Na killed the ones that reached the ship and collected them for Potions.
• Over the next two days, Yang Yi and Su Na prepared three hundred Giant Sea Salt Grenades as the Nightmare Star drew closer to the Farmer.
• Yang Yi estimated that the Nightmare Star would reach the Farmer in two days, while the New World Fleet arranged to deliver twenty tonnes of sea salt.

Yang Yi investigated the Farmer's sudden course change and prepared to pursue it, while the New World Fleet's salt ship arrived to deliver twenty tons of sea salt. The chapter left Zhao Tie Tou wary as Yang Yi arranged to collect the cargo from a raft.

• Yang Yi caught Long-Legged Sardines, Red-Lipped Eels, and a Demon Hammerhead Shark, then took over steering from Su Na.
• Geng Qiu told Yang Yi that the Farmer had changed course and was traveling at about forty knots, so Yang Yi used Peering to inspect it and altered course to pursue.
• Su Na suggested that something might be driving the Farmer away or attracting it, and Yang Yi bought materials to prepare for an extended pursuit.
• Yang Yi spotted the Ironhead carrying twenty tons of sea salt and confirmed its rendezvous with Shen Guanquan.
• Yang Yi told Zhao Tie Tou to stop ahead of the Nightmare Star so he could collect the salt by raft, leaving Zhao Tie Tou worried that Yang Yi might steal his ship.

Yang Yi met Zhao Tie Tou aboard the Ironhead and collected twenty tonnes of sea salt using his Stomach Pouch. After Zhao Tie Tou reported back to Shen Guanquan, Yang Yi watched the fleet depart and continued tracking the Farmer.

• Yang Yi approached the Ironhead on a raft and boarded after Zhao Tie Tou granted him permission.
• Yang Yi introduced himself to Zhao Tie Tou, who noticed the black worm on Yang Yi's hand was a piece of equipment.
• Yang Yi loaded about twenty tonnes of sea salt into his Stomach Pouch, leaving the remainder for the Ironhead's return trip.
• Zhao Tie Tou sent Shen Guanquan photos of Yang Yi and the Nightmare Star, and Shen Guanquan ordered the fleet to return.
• Yang Yi watched the Ironhead lead the other ships away before turning off his image and continuing to track the Farmer.

Yang Yi and Su Na pursued the Farmer, preparing to fight the Rotting Whale, but a giant meat-lump bird ambushed the Nightmare Star before they could lure their target to the surface. Vines caught the bird as Yang Yi fired the Roaring Flintlock, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Yang Yi stored sea salt and Giant Sea Salt Grenades, then accepted protective goggles Su Na had made for his human and werewolf forms.
• The Nightmare Star closed in on the Farmer, and Yang Yi and Su Na prepared their weapons, supplies, and defenses for the encounter.
• Yang Yi discovered the Farmer had disappeared underwater and tried firing cannons and preparing Super Delicious Cake to draw it out.
• A giant, tumor-covered bird ambushed the Nightmare Star from above, and Yang Yi and Su Na ran toward the Atrium.
• Yang Yi shot the bird, then raised the Roaring Flintlock as it dived at the ship; vines surged from the sea and bound the bird in a net.

Yang Yi and Su Na fought to protect the Nightmare Star as the Farmer’s forest attacked the ship and battled the giant bird. The forest tore the bird apart and began feeding on a Fruit of Abundance from its body.

• Yang Yi shot the giant bird with his Roaring Flintlock, then carried Su Na into the cabin as the bird crashed onto the Nightmare Star.
• A second impact from below lifted the ship, and Su Na suspected the Farmer was ambushing the bird.
• Yang Yi used the Penitent Armor to see that the Farmer had trapped the bird and was also invading the ship with branches.
• Yang Yi and Su Na drained the seawater from the cabin, spread sea salt, and ordered the Bone Arms to repel the branches as the Nightmare Star’s durability fell.
• The giant bird released invasive mushroom spores, so Yang Yi sealed the cabin while the Farmer’s forest turned its attention to the bird.
• The forest tore the giant bird in half and began sucking the juice from a Fruit of Abundance inside it.

Yang Yi and Su Na assessed the damage after the battle with the Miniature Rotting Whale and found its Fruit of Abundance still being drained by the forest. Yang Yi planned to locate the Farmer and store its core while Su Na took the bird’s core, leaving them poised to act once they found an opportunity.

• Yang Yi told Su Na that the giant bird had been a Miniature Rotting Whale and showed her its Fruit of Abundance being absorbed by the Farmer.
• Yang Yi and Su Na forced their way onto the deck, where they salted the spreading mushrooms and vegetation and examined the forest and shrinking fruit.
• Yang Yi confirmed the bird was a Rotting Whale, surveyed the damage, and found that the Lookout was destroyed and most of the deck’s sea salt was gone.
• Su Na sampled the vines and mushrooms, then used a Spirit Potion and Summon Stitching Monster to revive the Stitched Monster in a withered form.
• Yang Yi told Su Na he would search the forest for the Farmer while she prepared to remove and store the bird’s core.

Yang Yi prepared to contain the Fruit of Abundance aboard the Nightmare Star while Su Na supplied digestive fluid, then set out to retrieve another fruit from the Farmer. The forest attacked him with parasitic vines, so he decided to wear the Penitent Armor to cross it safely.

• Yang Yi assembled a container beneath the Fruit of Abundance and aimed a Catapult at the vines holding it overhead.
• Su Na brought Concentrated Gastric Juice, and Yang Yi left her five bottles before setting out for the Farmer.
• Yang Yi learned from Geng Qiu that the Farmer’s forest had grown rapidly and was letting in less light.
• When Yang Yi left the deck, the trees attacked him, and a vine burrowed into his ankle before he burned it away with Healing of the Flame.
• Yang Yi tested the forest’s branches with his Gauntlet and confirmed they could not penetrate the Penitent Armor.
• Yang Yi chose to wear the Penitent Armor without its helmet and continued toward the Farmer.

Yang Yi wore the Penitent Armor and fought through the forest to reach the Farmer’s coordinates, where he found a huge vine cocoon and broke inside. He discovered the Farmer within and fought off its corrosive, flower-like defenses, with the armor protecting him.

• Yang Yi put on the Penitent Armor, whose spikes pierced his body and whose effects enhanced his attributes while making it impossible for him to remove it himself.
• Yang Yi crossed the forest in the armor, resisting attacks from vines and branches as he made his way to the Farmer’s coordinates.
• Yang Yi spotted a massive cocoon of intertwined vines high above the forest and climbed to its top.
• Yang Yi poured sea salt onto the vines and used grenades and Broken Iron to dig through the cocoon until he fell inside.
• Yang Yi was attacked by flower-like organisms that sprayed corrosive liquid, but his armor withstood it and his Giant Sea Salt Grenades destroyed the flowers.
• Yang Yi saw human corpses nearby that had become breeding grounds for plants.

Yang Yi discovered bizarre plants growing aboard the Farmer and concluded that the Egg of the Forest was controlling them. He headed toward the center of the ship to reach the Sunlight Breeding Room while the egg was dormant and absorbing another Fruit of Abundance.

• Yang Yi fell from the fourth level to the third, identified his location, and planned a route beneath the Sunlight Breeding Room.
• Yang Yi found Delicious Corpse Vines, Mutated Delicious Sunflowers, and a Delicious Human Head Flower growing in the farmland.
• Yang Yi sent Shen Guanquan information about the plants, and Shen Guanquan warned him about Parasitic Vines and Bloodsucking Trees.
• Yang Yi concluded that the Egg of the Forest controlled the plants and was likely intelligent, but currently dormant.
• Yang Yi ran toward the ship's center, dodging acid from the mutated sunflowers as he headed for the Sunlight Breeding Room.

Yang Yi fought through the Farmer’s third level and entered the vine sphere, where he found the Sunlight Breeding Room. Inside, he discovered a green-skinned child beneath a glowing sphere of light.

• Yang Yi crossed a room of Mutant Sunflowers and Corpse Vines, then found a huge sphere of vines protruding through the ceiling.
• He climbed a vine pillar, confirmed that the sphere had an interior space, and used Giant Sea Salt Grenades and Broken Iron to cut through its outer layer.
• Yang Yi shrank into human form to squeeze through the opening and pulled Broken Iron free from the regenerating vines.
• Yang Yi entered the Sunlight Breeding Room and found a leaf-haired child with emerald-green skin sitting beneath a warm, glowing sphere.

Yang Yi and Su Na subdued separate Fruits of Abundance, but the forest awakened and attacked the Nightmare Star. Su Na secured her fruit in the Treasure Bag and survived a vine piercing her shoulder, while Yang Yi warned that the forest was targeting the fruit he carried.

• Yang Yi found the Green-Skinned Child, poured Concentrated Gastric Juice over it, and escaped the Vine Sphere with it contained in a wooden box.
• Su Na and the Nightmare Star’s crew used Giant Sea Salt Grenades, the Stitched Monster, and the Salt Bow to free the Fruit of Abundance from the branches and contain it with gastric juice.
• Su Na learned the Fruit of Abundance was subdued and sent its information to Yang Yi.
• Yang Yi warned Su Na that the forest was attacking his fragile container and that the Green-Skinned Child controlled vines.
• Su Na placed her contained fruit in the Treasure Bag, but the forest attacked the ship and a vine pierced her shoulder.
• Su Na used the Salt Bow to kill the vine taking root in her shoulder and reached the Nightmare Star’s cabin.

Yang Yi fought the Forest Fairy, a Farmer Rotting Whale that had taken the form of the Green-Skinned Kid, while Su Na contained the Giant Bird’s Fruit of Abundance. The Forest Fairy escaped Yang Yi’s gastric-juice trap and revived the forest to attack him, leaving him struggling against its vines.

• The Forest Fairy tried to bargain with Yang Yi while absorbing the Giant Bird’s core, but he attacked instead of listening.
• Yang Yi trapped the Green-Skinned Kid in a container and cut its connection to the vines, then escaped the Farmer.
• The Green-Skinned Kid burst out of the container, regenerated, and threatened to turn Yang Yi and his accomplice into fertilizer.
• Su Na told Yang Yi she had contained the Giant Bird’s Fruit of Abundance, and he warned her to watch out for the forest.
• The Forest Fairy animated the forest and sent vines, branches, and trees after Yang Yi, who struggled to defend himself in his armor.

Yang Yi put on the Penitent Armor’s helmet to break through the Forest Fairy’s vine cage, but the armor’s Oath of Atonement transformed into a Forsworn oath as a hostile soul invaded his consciousness. The Forest Fairy sensed that the light around Yang Yi had vanished, leaving the outcome of their confrontation uncertain.

• Yang Yi realized his stamina was running low and decided he had to reach the Forest Fairy quickly, while Su Na sheltered inside the damaged Nightmare Star.
• The Forest Fairy expanded its consciousness into more of the forest and trapped Yang Yi inside a tightening sphere of vines.
• Yang Yi put on the Penitent Armor’s helmet, enduring its spikes as the armor activated and enhanced his abilities.
• A Forsworn Soul invaded Yang Yi’s consciousness, draining his Sanity and turning the armor’s oath against the Radiant Holy Church.
• The Forest Fairy sensed an ominous change when the light surrounding Yang Yi disappeared.

Yang Yi escaped the Forest Fairy’s vine cage in the Penitent Armor and attacked with a corrupted radiance spell. After revealing his Feast Reveler nature and being impaled by the Forest Fairy’s Forest Spear, he caught it with a tongue emerging from his armor.

• Yang Yi broke out of the vine cage and cut through the Forest Fairy’s vines with unfamiliar swordsmanship.
• Yang Yi’s Supreme Holy Slash became Oathbreaker Slash, which caused the Forest Fairy intense pain and forced it to tear out its eye roots.
• Yang Yi ate two branches, grew stronger, and made the Forest Fairy recognize him as a Feast Reveler.
• The Forest Fairy tried to flee, but Yang Yi pursued it until it struck him with Forest Spear and pinned him to a tree.
• The Forest Fairy approached the apparently motionless Yang Yi, but a mouth inside his armor began chewing the branches, and his tongue wrapped around it as he declared, “Finally caught you!”

Yang Yi used the Maw of Gluttony to swallow the Forest Fairy, then discovered that the expanding Fruit of Abundance inside him threatened to make him burst. Unable to force the Maw to release its contents, he headed toward the Nightmare Star to meet Su Na while trying her sea-salt digestion remedy.

• Yang Yi's Maw of Gluttony dragged in and swallowed the Forest Fairy, which continued to struggle inside him until he drank three bottles of Concentrated Gastric Juice and its movements stopped.
• Yang Yi realized the Fruit of Abundance was expanding faster than he could absorb it and feared his belly would burst.
• Yang Yi tried to make the Maw of Gluttony spit out its contents, but it refused and snatched away his throwing darts when he tried to fight it.
• Yang Yi decided to sew the Maw shut later and remembered Su Na's advice that sea salt mixed with gastric juice could help digestion.
• Yang Yi poured sea salt from the Giant Sea Salt Grenade into his mouth as he hauled himself through the forest toward the Nightmare Star to meet Su Na.

Yang Yi returned to the Nightmare Star dangerously swollen after eating the Farmer’s core, and asked Su Na to operate on him before his Qi and Blood ran out. Su Na sewed the Maw of Gluttony shut and prepared to restrain him on the Metal Tables.

• Yang Yi checked Su Na and the Nightmare Star, then found his weight rising rapidly as his Sanity fell and his Qi and Blood began to decline.
• Su Na cleared parasitic branches from the Nightmare Star’s deck until Yang Yi crashed through the forest growth and called for surgery.
• Yang Yi and Su Na used Giant Sea Salt Grenades to break the thick trunk entangling the helm, then entered the Witch Laboratory.
• Yang Yi told Su Na he had eaten the Farmer’s core and needed her to remove the matter he could not absorb.
• Su Na removed the Penitent Armor and stitched the Maw of Gluttony shut while Yang Yi held it closed.
• Su Na brought leather straps to tie Yang Yi to the tables, giving him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Su Na performed surgery on Yang Yi to drain the digested matter in his abdomen, but the incisions repeatedly transformed into mouths before healing. After the drainage left Yang Yi desperately hungry, he mistook a salt-induced hallucination for Su Na taunting him and woke to find his tongue reaching toward her.

• Yang Yi asked Su Na to bind him with thick iron chains, and she secured him to the metal table.
• Su Na cut Yang Yi’s belly to drain its contents, but the wounds grew teeth and became small Maws of Gluttony before disappearing.
• Su Na inserted a glass tube into a deeper incision and connected it to tubing that carried the digested matter out of Yang Yi.
• Su Na’s Spirit Potion ran out, leaving her incapacitated, while Yang Yi’s Qi and Blood stabilized and he fell asleep in chains.
• Hunger woke Yang Yi, and a hallucination of Su Na teasing him with food nearly drove him to frenzy before he recognized it as an effect of the sea salt he had eaten.
• Yang Yi returned to reality and saw his tongue extending from his abdominal opening toward the slumped Su Na.

Yang Yi subdued the Maw of Gluttony’s tongue but nearly lost control to its hunger, so Su Na injected him with a Sleeping Potion. After waking, he confirmed he had obtained the Fruit of Abundance and discovered that the Maw of Gluttony had swallowed an emerald-green egg.

• Yang Yi used Wolf Transformation to seize the Maw of Gluttony’s tongue, then ate Super Delicious Cake and Black Bread as his hunger intensified and Su Na began to look like prey.
• Su Na injected Yang Yi with a Sleeping Potion, and while he slept she considered examining his belly and tried unsuccessfully to remove his Charred Black Worm Ring.
• Eight hours later, Yang Yi woke, checked that his items were safe, and found the Fruit of Abundance in its box.
• Yang Yi messaged Shen Guanquan that the Rotting Whale incident was over and asked the New World Fleet to help clear the forest trapping the Nightmare Star.
• Yang Yi found that the Maw of Gluttony seemed more cooperative and drew a mucus-covered emerald-green egg from his mouth.
• Shen Guanquan led the Hope, several hundred Level 4 Ordinary Ships, and the Ironhead toward the Farmer’s coordinates, but doubted Yang Yi’s claim that he had fallen asleep.
