At the front end of the shelter was a smokeless stove, and in front of the stove was a pit that had already been dug, although it was not large enough to lie down in.
Luo Jun decided to expand the pit so that he could lie flat in it tonight, with the smokeless stove beside him to keep warm during the night.
However, he had to be careful to keep a distance from the firewood in the stove, so as not to accidentally knock over burning logs onto himself.
"You two go and catch some fish to bring back. It will take me a while to dig this pit, and tomorrow morning we'll move to the creek over there," Luo Jun said while picking up a shovel and addressing the two women.
Li Shi volunteered, raising her hand. "I'll do it. Lorna, you take care of Jenny. I'm not very good at taking care of people."
Luo Jun had no objections. It would be good for the young girl to learn some survival skills since they didn't know how long they would have to live on this island. In case something happened to him, it would be beneficial for them to learn how to survive.
Currently, Luo Jun was most worried about the unidentified armed forces on the island, but he didn't have time to investigate the situation of the island.
After digging for a while, Luo Jun took a break. He used a dagger to cut a section of bamboo, opening two vents at the bamboo joint, and then heated the water inside by placing it in the stove.
Jenny was weak due to her injuries, and drinking cold water could easily make her sick.
After heating it for a while, Luo Jun felt it was ready and handed the bamboo tube to Lorna.
"Let Jenny drink some hot water."
Lorna took it and brought it to Jenny, who sat up against a rock. Jenny drank from the bamboo tube, facing the vents on top.
The warm liquid from the bamboo made Jenny feel comfortable, and her mood improved.
Lorna comforted her and told her that the most important thing at this stage was to take care of her health. Jack's fate couldn't be changed anymore, so there was no need to think about him. Jenny thought about the scene of Jack's death, but she managed to hold back her tears.
She was more filled with fear.
Luo Jun had put in a lot of effort, and he had finally finished digging the pit. But before he could take a moment to rest, Li Shi suddenly screamed.
Luo Jun rushed over in a quick stride and arrived at the rocky beach, where he saw Li Shi vigorously pulling on a fishing rod. Apparently, a big fish had bitten the hook!
"Damn it!"
Seeing the situation, Luo Jun immediately jumped into the sea.
The fishing line definitely couldn't withstand the pulling of any big fish. If they pulled too hard, it would snap and they would have nothing to eat tonight.
Luo Jun plunged into the icy seawater and grabbed hold of the fishing line, following it until he found the big fish.
With his eyes open underwater, the saltwater stinging his eyes, Luo Jun managed to see what kind of fish it was. It was actually a tuna!
This tuna weighed at least fifty catties, and its agile body swam continuously, pulling the fishing line taut like a violin string. It could break at any moment. Fortunately, Li Shi was smart. She would pull and loosen the line, preventing the tuna from snapping it all at once.
But even so, the fishing line would soon break!
The muscles of the tuna were well-developed, and its strength was astonishing. The fins on its body were as sharp as stakes, and the consequences of being pierced by them were unimaginable.
Luo Jun took out his dagger and cautiously approached, taking advantage of the tuna's reduced movements. With determination, Luo Jun thrust his blade directly into the gap behind the gill cover, causing the tuna to writhe in pain, flapping its tail fin with force!
Luo Jun had anticipated its reaction and, in order to avoid the fins from piercing his body, he thrust his entire arm, along with the dagger, into the gill cover.
The fish gills inside did not harm his hand, but if his palm extended into its mouth, it would be bitten by its sharp teeth.
Therefore, Luo Jun did not release the dagger but instead used its sharpness to stab into the fish's heart.
The heart of the tuna was located just below the gill cover, and Luo Jun's dagger pierced through the sternum and into the tuna's heart, instantly staining the water red with blood.
The struggling strength of the tuna grew weaker and weaker, and only then did Luo Jun emerge from the water, his right hand still plunged into the gill.
When Luo Jun's upper body appeared from the seawater, the enormous tuna looked like a three-dimensional fish-shaped shield in his hand. Li Shi was so shocked by this sight that she couldn't find words to speak.
After a while, she exclaimed, "What a huge fish!"
"Oh my God!"
Lorna had followed Luo Jun to the seaside just now and when she saw him emerge from the sea with the giant fish, she covered her mouth in astonishment.
Luo Jun dragged the tuna onto the shore and forcefully pulled his right forearm out of the gill.
His entire right forearm was covered in blood.
But it wasn't his blood. He rinsed the fish's dagger in the sea, then placed it back into its sheath on his waist.
"Uncle, you're so brave! Are you hurt?"
Li Shi jumped down from the rocks and approached Luo Jun. He smiled and replied, "I'm fine. Luckily, you screamed; otherwise, we would have gone hungry tonight."
"You two go and gather more firewood. Take the axe and don't go too far. I'm going to gut and dry this tuna."
"Okay!"
Li Shi was overjoyed and ran off towards the place where the axe was kept.
Lorna came up to Luo Jun, her eyes filled with admiration. As a woman who lived in the city, she had never seen such a fishing technique before.
It would be impossible for anyone to pull a fish out of the sea like that without being a strong and courageous man.
"You're simply beyond imagination!"
Lorna reached out and helped Luo Jun take off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles.
"I'll dry your clothes for you. Put on your jacket."
"Okay."
Luo Jun lifted Lorna's delicate chin and kissed her fiery red lips.
Lorna smiled happily and helped Luo Jun put on her jacket.
"Don't bother drying the pants for now. Just dry my clothes first."
Luo Jun said, and Lorna agreed, taking the shirt back to the stove. Jenny had also seen Luo Jun emerge from the sea like the "King of the Sea," exuding a momentary masculine charm that deeply attracted her.
As Lorna and Luo Jun's kiss unfolded before her eyes, she instinctively averted her gaze.
Luo Jun dragged the tuna onto a flat reef and used a dagger to carve it into slices.
Tuna is a rare delicacy rich in vitamins A and D, among other essential nutrients. Luo Jun's mood improved greatly at this moment. With this fifty-pound tuna, he wouldn't have to worry about food shortage for the next ten days.
This would save a lot of time for setting up a shelter, recuperation, and scouting the island!
After spending over half an hour, Luo Jun finally finished dissecting all the fish. He went into the woods and cut several branches to make a simple drying rack.
He threaded the slices of fish onto the rack, hanging it on a higher rock by the seaside.
"It should be ready after a night of wind blowing."
Luo Jun felt the sea breeze and was filled with joy.
His most urgent task now was to scout this island. With a food supply secured, the level of safety for the future naturally increased.
Just then, Jenny shouted from the distance, but Luo Jun couldn't make out what she was saying. He jumped off the rock and headed towards the shelter.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
