What a Disaster

Dark Shadow Island.

Yi Feng lounged in a reclining chair, swaying gently as he held a cup of tea in his left hand and a large bunch of grapes in his right. He squinted his eyes, gazing at the distant sea view.

This life was damn comfortable.

If only he could leave at will, this island wouldn't be half bad.

Just then.

A voice echoed in his mind.

"Congratulations, host. You have received the monthly Fortune Points from the Immortal River Continent."

"Fortune Points +500."

"Oh ho?"

Hearing the voice in his head, Yi Feng sat up abruptly.

The Immortal River Continent had sent him Fortune Points again.

And so punctually too.

This routine was just like his salary in his previous life, deposited into his account on the same day every month without fail.

Although he didn't know the exact reason why the Immortal River Continent sent him Fortune Points every month.

But who cares?

Therefore, Yi Feng, who had just received five hundred Fortune Points, immediately opened the marketplace, just like a wage slave who had just been paid in his previous life.

Although this store could be quite tricky.

There were some frustrating incidents, like the toad fiasco.

But other items were quite enticing.

For example, the grapes in his hand...

They were damn sweet.

The saplings exchanged from the system store also matured incredibly fast.

Of course, the tea leaves in his hand were the same.

They had quite a Longjing flavor to them.

Overall, he hadn't been cheated in this aspect.

So now, Yi Feng, who had just received his "paycheck," was very much in the mood to splurge.

He wanted to get some more watermelons, honeydew melons, peaches, and such, to enrich the boring island life...

However.

As a person with principles.

He resisted this urge to spend.

Because in his view, nothing was more important than leaving this small island.

And this influx of Fortune Points was like a godsend for his plan to purchase teleportation.

"Calm down, calm down."

Taking a sip of tea, Yi Feng took a deep breath.

If he could resist the urge this time, he might be able to teleport off this small island by next month.

Of course.

Yi Feng still had to prepare a backup plan.

In case the teleportation turned out to be a scam, he still needed to rely on Man Man, the amphibious creature, to cross the ocean and leave.

So.

Storing food was still necessary.

Yi Feng began the process of hunting wolves again...

But damn it, after circling half the island, he barely saw any live wolves, just wolf carcasses everywhere.

"Looks like I need to switch to a different species!"

Yi Feng couldn't help but sigh.

He had almost wiped out all the wolves on the island, and if he continued, the wolf population would surely go extinct.

So, let's hunt vultures!

Apart from wolves, vultures were the most numerous creatures on the island.

Without further ado, Yi Feng returned to the Martial Arts Hall on the island and began crafting bows and arrows.

In one day.

Yi Feng took down over eighty vultures.

Although later, as the vultures became scarcer, Yi Feng's daily harvest decreased, his food stores continued to grow.

With the previous wolf meat, dried fish, and now vulture meat, he probably had enough to last him for two years.

Back at the Martial Arts Hall, Yi Feng lit a fire, brewed tea, and smoked the vulture meat.

Nearby, Man Man lay listlessly on the ground.

At the same time, the toad that Yi Feng had casually discarded had somehow found its way back and was now perched on Man Man's shell.

"Ribbit ribbit ribbit..."

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

"Ribbit ribbit ribbit..."

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

"Brother Man, I've recently changed my name. It's as cool as Brother Bone's!"

Man Man remained expressionless.

"Frog Benwei! How about that, isn't it cool?"

"Oh."

"What do you mean? Come on, say it's cool!"

"Oh!"

"Can you not look like you're about to die? Say it, Frog Benwei, isn't it handsome? Isn't this name cool? How about it, do you want to take a similar name? I've already thought of one for you, it'll be Slow Benwei!"

"Not interested!"

With that, Man Man closed his eyes and returned to his lazy, sleepy state.

"You, you stinking snail, you really have no sense of style."

The toad said angrily, hopping away to settle down on its own.

...

Somewhere on Dark Shadow Island.

Jiang Zhi looked at the vulture carcasses on the ground, her brows furrowed tightly.

Although she had previously suspected the presence of a terrifying expert on the island due to the demonic wolves, she wasn't entirely certain.

After all, she herself was a powerful being.

She really couldn't imagine what kind of existence could be unaffected by this environment and treat the native demonic wolves as nothing.

Until now, when she saw the ground littered with vulture carcasses.

A full several dozen of them.

This finally convinced her.

There really was an unimaginably powerful and terrifying existence on this island!

"Just who could it be?"

She tried hard to recall the history of Dark Shadow Island.

But no matter how she racked her brain, she couldn't remember when such a super expert, who could treat demonic wolves and vultures as nothing, had been exiled here.

Even though she knew that there were probably many experts who had been imprisoned here in the past and were still surviving on the island.

But the current state of these experts was probably no better than hers. Most of them were suppressing their cultivation, concealing their auras, and hiding away, barely clinging to life.

"If only I could meet this senior expert."

Jiang Zhi's eyes flickered with determination.

She wasn't afraid of death.

But she had been framed and imprisoned here, and she had a deep blood feud to settle.

So she desperately wanted to survive.

To leave this place, to avenge herself, to cut down those who had framed her with her sword.

And if she could meet this person and join forces with them on the island, given their strength, survival might not be just a pipe dream...

But was it possible?
