Successful landing on the island, Pistol Fire

"Two fish eyes each, one mouthful of fish blood, then you can drink this..."

"Can I drink my own?"

"Gosh, too fishy!"

"Isn't there still a backdoor..."

Despite all kinds of disharmonious things, the gang still managed to replenish their "fresh water" and keep their spirits up!

"Bird blood shouldn't be that fishy!"

"It should be!"

"If only we could shoot down that eagle!"

"Huh?" Lu Zhe immediately perked up.

Having eagles active in the ocean could mean there was an island not far away.

"Where's the eagle?"

"When you went underwater to look for sunfish, a big black eagle flew by over there." Qian Qian pointed up at the sky.

Speaking of which, another big black bird with a wingspan close to two meters flew over from afar: "Look, here comes another one!"

At an altitude of over 50 meters, its huge wingspan made it look very oppressive!

Tang Xiaoguo worriedly hugged the plane raft, afraid the big bird would swoop down and carry her away.

But Jiang Yao thought of a key question: "Does this mean there's an island not far away?"

"Not necessarily!"

Lu Zhe's pupils contracted violently as he clearly saw what kind of bird it was.

With a pitch black body, huge wingspan, and red throat...

"I've seen this bird before, it's called the Great Frigatebird, and it often crosses oceans, flying over 3,000 kilometers in one go!"

"Ah...3,000 kilometers, what's that like?"

"It would take 10 hours by high-speed rail! So not all seabirds are useful as a reference! But..."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Zhe's eyes!

While it wasn't a good reference point, couldn't its blood still be used?

"Watch me shoot it down?"

Lu Zhe took out his gun, cockily turned off the safety, and took aim?

In the instant it flew over their heads, Lu Zhe squeezed the trigger: "Bang!"

The bullet accurately pierced its throat, sending it crashing down ten meters away from them!

"Wow, that was some precise shooting!"

"Lu Zhe, Ice Sister must have secretly trained your precision for certain things, right?"

"Of course it must be so!"

"Stop making things up, this is purely talent on my part!"

Picking up the bird, folding back its wings made it actually feel not that big. Weighing it in his hand, it turned out to be just over three pounds heavy.

Can you believe it, a bird weighing three pounds had a wingspan of two meters, scaring a little girl of seventy or eighty pounds and making her heart flutter!

Lu Zhe intended to process the bird, but an unexpected thing happened!

Something actually fell out of its mouth!

Upon closer examination, it turned out to be a frog!

Even more bizarre was that the frog, despite seeming weak, was actually still alive!

The gang was bewildered, never before seeing something like this!

"What's going on here!"

"The Great Frigatebird can't swim to catch fish, so this must have been snatched from another seabird. Having a frog means there's freshwater resources nearby! It can lead us to a nearby island!"

As Lu Zhe spoke, he tore apart the soft red rope into thin strands to tie around the frog's body before gently placing it back into the water!

Surprisingly, the frog showed no adverse reaction at all to the seawater and gracefully paddled its legs to swim in a certain direction!

Lu Zhe quickly marked down the coordinates based on the sunset and followed the little frog in that direction!

Jiang Yao was shocked: "This is the first time I've heard of frogs in the ocean!"

"These are marine frogs, also known as crab-eating frogs. In essence they are still a kind of freshwater frog, but they possess a physiological structure to discharge salt and withstand high salinity seawater! However, their favorite habitat is actually brackish red mangrove forests. Right now, by releasing it, its first instinct must be to try and find its way home!"

Many wild animals don't have a theoretical and scientific basis, yet can still rely on "intuition" to accurately determine the direction they're trying to locate! This is nature's wonder and the Creator's masterpiece!

After swimming for a bit, the froggy couldn't swim any further.

But it was also at this moment that Lu Zhe discovered an island looming in the distance!

And by now, the setting sun meant night would soon fall.

Lu Zhe exclaimed in delight: "Paddle towards there..."

After three hours of exertion that digested the blood of one Great Frigatebird and one froggy, they finally succeeded in reaching the small island!

And by the time they arrived, night had already fallen!

The island was pitch black above and below, if not for Lu Zhe's extremely awesome vision, they definitely wouldn't have been able to successfully land.

At that moment on the sandy beach, the four comrades were leaning against each other, all panting heavily except Lu Zhe.

"Our fate must not be doomed after all!"

"Stay low-key but don't give up, everything will be fine if left to Lu Zhe!"

"Lu Zhe, what should we do next!"

Lu Zhe pondered: "For us right now, what's most needed is a campfire and fresh water. A stable source of fresh water would take some time to find, but there are plenty of coconut trees around, taking some to temporarily replenish fluids shouldn't be an issue!

As for a campfire?

Solar chargers aplenty, but no sunlight!

Should we drill wood for fire?

Too much effort!

Lu Zhe had a better method!

First gather some nearby kindling!

Having a hammer on hand, this would at most be a relatively simple task. Before long, the four of them had gathered a small pile of firewood and a pile of dry leaves.

They had the kindling, next was starting a fire!

He pulled out his pistol, casually ejected the magazine, took out a bullet from the clip!

With both hands pinching the bullet at both ends, he forcibly separated the bullet head with his enormous strength.

Pouring out some gunpowder while leaving the casing aside.

Rubbing his bunny tail keychain to gather a large tuft of fur, balling it up and stuffing it in the shell, reloading it into the pistol magazine!

Aim at the dry leaves and squeeze the trigger!

"Bang!"

Flames spewed forth, igniting the dry leaves. They quickly added branches until, before long, a campfire was crackling away.

With a campfire, comfort was found.

Climbing the surrounding coconut trees by firelight, Lu Zhe gathered over a dozen coconuts!

Something they had all grown sick of back on Volcano Island was now once again precious in this moment!

Drinking coconut water, eating Great Frigatebird, grilled fish and frog, everyone's gastric functions finally returned to normal.

Lu Zhe checked his watch, it was already midnight with the tidal waters once again surging tempestuously.

"Let's build a simple shelter and then rest, leave troublesome matters for tomorrow!"

The girls were all beat.

Qian Qian very thoughtfully said "Lu Zhe, why not just skip building the shelter?"

"It's no trouble at all, so why not?"

Lu Zhe pointed to a pile of reef rocks on shore, upon which a stubborn coconut tree was still growing: "See that? It's sheltered from the wind and safe there, with lots of rocks too. We just need to completely surround the windward side with rocks and we'll be able to sleep there tonight!"

"Good idea!"

"I remember we always built shelters using branches and leaves, a rock shelter is pretty innovative!"

"Ed Stafford has actually used this a lot before. I'm simply applying what I've learned!"

"Come on, the quicker we get it done the quicker we can sleep!"

The four worked together to move the campfire and build the shelter from rocks.

As expected, many hands make light work. In less than half an hour, a simple rock shelter was completed.
