Xie Xun's strength was clearly superior to Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu.
With the added advantage of the Dragon-Slaying Saber- Slaying Saber, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were quickly put on the defensive after a brief struggle.
"Lion King, we are now stranded here, not even knowing what the future holds. Continuing to fight like this will do neither of us any good. Why don't we just stop?" Yin Susu said as she fought.
But Xie Xun was in a frenzy at the moment, only thinking that Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu had come to steal his Dragon-Slaying Saber, and he couldn't hear anything they said.
Seeing that Xie Xun was unyielding, the couple exchanged a glance, their faces full of helplessness.
Actually, none of the three are in very good condition right now.
They had been adrift at sea for several days and were already exhausted, and this fight had taken a toll on their mental and physical strength.
The three fought for a while longer, but their movements were noticeably slower, and their moves became more hesitant.
At this moment, Xie Xun finally regained his senses.
With a single slash, he knocked Zhang Cuishan away, and in Ying Yi, he was beside Yin Susu Yin Susu. He pressed Yin Susu's pressure points, pulled her into his arms, and held the Dragon-Slaying Saber Yin Susu to her neck.
" Xie Xun, release Susu!" Zhang Cuishan roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Xie Xun leaned closer to Yin Susu, took a deep breath, and said, "Since this is an isolated island, and we don't know when we'll be able to return to the Central Plains, having you by my side will keep me from being lonely."
"When the time comes, if you and I have ten or eight little lion cubs, it will be quite a lively affair."
" Xie Xun, how could you do this? How are you any different from those vile villains?" Yin Susu said, her face pale.
"I, Xie, have never known the difference between good and evil. Now you are all my prisoners. If you obey me, you may live; otherwise, hmph!"
With that, Xie Xun sat down to the side with Yin Susu in his arms, then turned to Zhang Cuishan and said, "Go find some food, and hurry up."
Zhang Cuishan glared at Xie Xun with resentment, but now that Yin Susu was in Xie Xun's hands, he could only suppress his anger.
"If you dare to harm Susu in the slightest, I, Zhang Cuishan, swear that I will tear you Xie Xun, to pieces."
On the other side, Ling Yi was smashing a tree with a Shitou.
The two had arrived at this hillside half an hour earlier.
Just as Ling Yi had predicted, this was an excellent place to build a shelter.
The terrain here is high and sheltered from the wind, with the slope facing the sun.
There was a recessed cliff on one side and a small flat area in front. If you just planted a row of wooden stakes diagonally along the cliff and covered them with leaves, you could get shelter from the wind and rain.
On the side of the hillside was a grove of trees, and Ling Yi was currently at the edge of this grove.
Since he didn't have an axe, Ling Yi could only pick up a Shitou that looked fairly sharp to smash the tree, so you can imagine how inefficient that was.

[Ding, Diligence Points +1, Logging Skill Experience +1]
Ling Yi curled his lip. This system seemed a bit idiotic. It was clearly text that floated by, with no sound at all, yet it insisted on adding a "ding" in front of it.
Do I have to imagine the "ding" sound myself?
Or are you going to do your own voice acting?
However, as he watched the lines of text float by, Ling Yi inexplicably had the illusion of grinding experience points in a game.
This method of felling trees by smashing them is too slow.
It took about ten minutes to break one tree. With the first tree falling, Ling Yi's Logging Skill finally leveled up.
[Ding! Diligence Points +1, Logging Skill experience +1, upgrade requirements met, Logging Skill level +1]
A warm current rose again, instantly spreading throughout my body.
At the same time, some rolling and Logging techniques also came to mind.
Having skills is useless; without suitable tools, one can only increase strength, not efficiency.
With a thought, Ling Yi opened his system interface.
[ Diligence System ( Ling Yi )]
[Stamina: 8 (normal person's Limit is 10)]
[Strength: 9 (The average person's Limit is 10)]
[Agility: 6 (The average person's Limit is 10)]
[ Diligence Points: 61 (100 Diligence Points allow for one Lottery )][Click to Lottery ]
[Skills: Throwing lv1 (11/100), Climbing lv1 (0/100), Logging lv1 (0/100)]
[Technique: Breathing Technique lv0 (0/50)]
Ling Yi hasn't practiced the Breathing Technique yet, so he doesn't know how effective it is. The main problem is that this Breathing Technique isn't just simple breathing; it requires a series of complex steps.
For example, when inhaling, you should inhale through your lower abdomen (Dantian), not through the force of your chest.
For example, one inhale and two exhales, one inhale and three exhales, one exhale and three inhales, one exhale and two inhales—it's all very troublesome.
Ling Yi tried practicing Breathing Technique while working, but he simply couldn't do it.
This requires a long period of practice until it becomes second nature; otherwise, it will have no effect whatsoever.
Forget about it now.
On the other side, Meng Yanyi was also busy.
He was gathering firewood not far from Ling Yi, and now he had busily collected a small pile.
Two more hours passed, and now the sun was completely setting in the west. It was estimated that in another two hours, it would be completely dark.
Ling Yi also replaced the trees with three large Shitou, knocked down thirty trees, and did some simple repairs.
These thirty trees, each nearly six meters tall, were specially selected by Ling Yi; they were poplar trees of similar thickness and height.
" Ling Yi, you're amazing! You last so long!" Meng Yanyi she looked at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at Meng Yanyi with a shocked expression. "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Sister, have you forgotten we're still live streaming?
Meng Yanyi didn't realize the inappropriateness of her words. Ling Yi chopped down trees all afternoon without taking a break.
She was praising Ling Yi's stamina; she had no other thoughts whatsoever.
Ling Yi moved the simply prepared tree trunks to the side of the cliff, examined them briefly, and then began to push the trunks up one by one.
While pushing, he adjusted the direction, trying to arrange all the tree trunks neatly.
Although Ling Yi didn't understand architecture, he knew that he needed to minimize the gaps between the tree trunks so that when he went back to fill them with leaves, they could be sealed tightly and truly provide shelter from the wind and rain.
[Ding, Diligence Points +1, Construction Skill Experience +1]
As Ling Yi continued his antics, the system's prompts flashed before his eyes once more, one prompt appearing for each tree trunk he struck.
After finishing the thirty tree trunks, I gained exactly 30 points of Diligence Points and 30 points of Construction Skill experience.
After a day of exploration, Ling Yi has gained some understanding of how to upgrade these basic skills.
All skills start at level 0, and you gain 1 level with 50 experience points and 2 levels with 100 experience points.
Do I have to chop down another 20 trees to upgrade my Construction Skill?
But Ling Yi felt that 30 trees were enough; there was no need to make them any bigger.
However, Construction Skill are not just about arranging tree trunks.
Ling Yi ran back to the woods and brought back the branches and twigs he had cut down, piece by piece. He also peeled some bark to use as rope and used it to tie the branches and twigs into the gaps in the tree trunks.
They then blocked one end with a large number of tree branches.
This makes the triangular space even more secure.
Let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow.
My Construction Skill experience points have increased by 3.
At this moment, the sun was only a palm's width away from setting behind the snow-capped mountains to the west.
Neither of them has eaten or drunk anything yet.
Ling Yi didn't feel there was any problem, because every time a skill was upgraded, there would be an energy baptism, which was somewhat similar to automatically reaching full health after leveling up in a game.
But Meng Yanyi probably couldn't hold on any longer.
At this moment, Meng Yanyi was already somewhat pale, and her lips were also a bit chapped, probably because she had been thirsty for a long time.
I guess they were too embarrassed to say anything because they saw I was busy.
"I'll go see if I can get some food, and I'll also get some water while I'm at it."
Meng Yanyi nodded. She was already thirsty and hungry. She could still endure the hunger, but the thirst was really getting unbearable.
But just as Ling Yi had guessed, Ling Yi Meng Yanyi felt embarrassed to trouble Ling Yi when she saw that he was busy all the time.
Now that she heard Ling Yi was going to find food and drinks, she was naturally very excited.
She actually really wanted to go with Ling Yi, after all, it was a bit scary to be alone in this desolate Wild Ridge.
But she knew that if she went, she would only hold Ling Yi back.
"Then come back quickly!" Meng Yanyi said hesitantly.
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded, then turned and walked down the mountain.
Seeing Ling Yi disappear, Meng Yanyi collapsed to the ground, muttering, "What a lousy Qiusheng show! It's so awful!"
She's a delicate and beautiful woman, usually waited on hand and foot by her staff. She's never experienced this kind of hardship before.
That day, she followed Ling Yi, climbing mountains and crossing rivers, and suffered terribly.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi picked up some pebbles as he walked.
There are quite a few small animals in the Lin Zhong and forests. When he was smashing the trees earlier, Ling Yi saw wild rabbits, wild boars, and even a few wild boars.
However, Ling Yi's smashing of the tree was quite loud, which scared all the animals away.
Ling Yi planned to go to the river first and try to get some water. As for prey, he would take it if he came across it, and if not, he would catch a few fish first.
"I wonder if the power I gained in this world can be brought back to the real world."
Ling Yi murmured to himself.
If I'm stuck with the system for half a year, and when I return to the real world I'm still a piece of trash, then there's no point in living.
Because Ling Yi was alone, his speed increased.
As Ling Yi walked through a grove of trees, he suddenly stopped, and then flung out two pebbles at once.
The next moment, a scream rang out from the woods ahead.
"Mmm, hmph!"
A large, dark shadow darted out of the forest and crashed headfirst into a tree.
It was a wild boar.
However, the wild boar's eyes were severely injured, and blood was gushing out, clearly blinded by Ling Yi's two pebbles.
Because it was blind, the wild boar began to run around aimlessly. After crashing into a tree, it was thrown over by the recoil, but then it got up again, turned around, and continued running.
But after running only a few steps, he crashed into a tree again.
As it kept bumping into things, the wild boar managed to seriously injure itself.
But Ling Yi didn't dare to step forward directly.
Ultimately, it was because his Throwing Skill were too low and his strength was insufficient to kill with a single blow.
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, I saw the wild boar lying motionless under a tree, and then I went over to it.
