When the last ray of sunset silently fell into the seabed, taking away the last ray of afterglow, the sea surface was dark, and who knows how many dangers were hidden in the darkness.

Suddenly, dark shadows appeared on the beach. Even though they were so far away, Cheng Mo and others could still see those dark shadows running around quickly on the beach. Cheng Mo's eyesight was not as good as the orcs', so he couldn't tell what they were. He guessed that it should be the monster that Ban Mu mentioned?

Sure enough, Banmu pointed at the black shadows and said, "Those are monsters. Their hands are very strange, with only two fingers. I once saw a monster grab a white bird and then tear its neck apart alive. But those monsters don't eat bird meat. They just dropped the bird and left."

Cheng Mo was frightened by the ferocity of these monsters, and quickly asked everyone to squat down so as not to be discovered by the monsters. Ban Mu smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, their eyes don't seem to be very good, we are so far away from them, they can't see us."

Cheng Mo tried hard to open his eyes wide to observe the monsters below, but still couldn't see clearly what they looked like. Ban Mu said that these monsters only appeared at night and were almost invisible during the day. Moreover, these monsters hid and slept during the day. As long as they were not provoked, they would not attack others.

Cheng Mo was a little confused. The mission issued by 079 was to enter the Land of God's Punishment. He didn't know where the scope of the Land of God's Punishment was. Was the place they were staying now considered to be within the scope of the Land of God's Punishment? Moreover, it was rumored that the water inside the Land of God's Punishment was not drinkable. This was not a rumor! It was said that there were only sand and water inside. In his opinion, there were indeed no plants in this sea! There was not even a coconut tree! Could it be that there was something wrong with the monster? But in the middle of the night, he couldn't see what the monster was!

Cheng Mo thought that these monsters would sleep during the day, and as long as they were not provoked, he decided to go down and have a look during the day. So the five of them decided to sleep on the top of the mountain at night and go down tomorrow morning.

Cheng Mo woke up when the first ray of sunlight jumped out of the sea level in the morning. He stood on the top of the mountain and smelled the scent of the sea breeze. There were clouds of white mist on the sea, dyed with color by the sunset glow. The gauze-like mist quietly soaked the entire beach and slowly melted away after a while.

Ban Mu stood behind Cheng Mo and watched quietly. He felt that Cheng Mo seemed to be about to melt in the sunlight, which made him unable to help but reach out to grab this figure.

Cheng Mo, who sensed the movement behind him, turned around and looked at Ban Mu's hand in confusion. Ban Mu came back to his senses when he saw Cheng Mo's face: Fortunately, his god is still with him.

When the first ray of sunlight came, the monsters gradually disappeared, leaving only traces on the beach. Cheng Mo and others quickly rushed to the beach. It took them half a day to finally step on the beach. The way up the mountain was difficult and directionless, but the way down the mountain was much easier. Cheng Mo squatted down to study these traces: these monsters had many legs, and the traces left on the beach were very thick and deep, and it could be seen that the monsters were very large.

Cheng Mo followed a trail and groped his way to the side of a huge rock. He looked at the big hole under the rock with some curiosity. Cheng Mo tried hard to look inside the hole from the outside, but it was obvious that he could not see the situation inside the hole. However, based on these traces, it was certain that the monster's habitat was inside the black hole.

Cheng Mo was eager to throw something in, but fearing that he would anger the monster inside, he had to put down what he was holding.

However, they had spent some time coming down here, and now they were a little hungry. Cheng Mo and the others planned to eat first, but there were no animals around, so Cheng Mo and the others had to eat the dried meat they brought with them.

After finishing his meal, Cheng Mo looked down on the beach. Generally, there would be a lot of seafood and kelp washed up by the sea water on the beach. However, Cheng Mo found that there was very little kelp on this beach. Could it be that there were many creatures that feed on kelp nearby, or that kelp does not grow in this sea area?

Cheng Mo searched for a long time but didn't find any seafood. This was very unusual!

In the end, Cheng Mo only picked up a huge clam shell on the beach. The clam shell was very big, like the clam shell in movies and TV dramas that could fit a little mermaid. However, the clam meat inside was gone. No one knew whether it was eaten by something or died of natural causes.

Suddenly, Cheng Mo looked at the big clam in front of him and laughed. He suddenly thought of a way to get salt quickly!

Cheng Mo pointed to the sea water and said, "I know a way to get salt. We can get sea salt by boiling sea water."

"Boil sea water?" Upon hearing this, the other four looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, the sea water contains a lot of salt. We can extract a lot of sea salt by filtering and boiling. But it would be better if we could dry the salt. But we don't have enough time and energy to dry the salt, so we can only boil it, which is faster." Cheng Mo expressed his thoughts.

Others only knew that salt was extracted from the salt rocks of the Salt Lake Tribe. This was the first time they knew how to boil salt from seawater. However, they had great trust in Cheng Mo. After Cheng Mo explained how to boil salt, they began to prepare the tools for boiling salt.

Cheng Mo still wanted to find out the true identity of the monster. He discussed with Ban Mu for a long time before making a decision.

"Let's build a bunch of obstacles on the beach near the mountains. I always feel that those monsters are not simple. Banmu and I will stay on the beach to observe nearby. When those monsters rush over, take me back to the mountains. The others will meet us on the mountain. If the monsters chase into the mountains, you can throw stones down to stop them. Is that okay?" Cheng Mo decided to take a risk, but he knew that his speed was not good enough, and Banmu would not agree with his risky behavior, so he proposed this suggestion after thinking about it. Sure enough, although the others were a little worried, they did not refuse.

When the sun was about to set, Cheng Mo found that the tide was receding. There were a lot of kelp and shellfish left where the seawater receded. Those shellfish quickly burrowed into the beach, leaving only small holes. Cheng Mo was puzzled. Why didn't he see shellfish and kelp during the day? There were obviously a lot of them at night.

Until the sunset in the sky was about to be swallowed by the sea level, Cheng Mo and Ban Mu squatted behind a huge rock and observed the sea. After the last ray of sunset was swallowed, dark shadows appeared one after another on the sea and quickly crawled towards the beach. Cheng Mo tried hard to open his eyes wide to see the true faces of those monsters. Ban Mu's muscles were tense and he was ready to take Cheng Mo and escape at any time.

When the first black shadow landed, Cheng Mo finally saw the true face of those monsters - a giant crab, waving its claws and eating the kelp left on the beach. The sight of it baring its fangs and claws was really creepy.

Cheng Mo thought: No wonder there is no kelp on the beach. Given the size of these crabs, the kelp on two beaches wouldn’t be enough for them to eat, let alone the kelp on one beach!

However, Cheng Mo did not seem to be afraid of such crabs. He looked at the fat crabs on the beach with shining eyes. These crabs had no natural enemies and were very large. When their claws dug into the sand, they would bring out a lot of sand and shellfish. The tiny shellfish could hardly escape and were caught by them. The crab claws would crush the shells with force, and the shellfish meat inside would be sucked out by the crab's mouth.

Just as Cheng Mo was observing carefully, a crab spotted them, but instead of rushing over, it quickly left. Ban Mu watched the crab's movements nervously. Cheng Mo, who didn't notice, happily pulled Ban Mu and whispered, "Ban Mu, these monsters, no, they are not monsters, they are crabs, and they are delicious! They are best when steamed! They are so big! They must have a lot of meat!"
