Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

The two drove the yacht and returned to the island in half an hour. Today they planned to cook a delicious seafood dinner by themselves, so they went to the woods to find some dry firewood.

The two of them changed into coarse cloth clothes, wore hiking shoes, each took a hatchet, and went to the woods behind. There were many kinds of trees on this small island, all of which were plants unique to the sea, including the horn tree, the jute tree, the coastal tung tree, etc. Biyue also collected a lot of them into the system.

I started collecting dry branches nearby. Maybe because no one came here, there were lush trees and weeds, and there were many dead trees. I picked up a lot of them in a short time.

At this time Xiaomai screamed, "Miss, there are snakes here, there are several of them."

Biyue walked over immediately and saw three snakes two meters away from Xiaomai. Judging from the patterns on their snakes, they should be poisonous, so she asked the system: "Are these snakes poisonous?"

"Host, these are sea snakes. They are extremely venomous, but they generally do not actively attack humans."

Biyue walked over and told Xiaomai not to move. Xiaomai said, "Miss, that's a poisonous snake. Don't go over there."

"It's okay, they can't hurt me."

"Hello, sea snake, I have no intention of entering this island. I just want to stay here for ten days and then leave. Today I just come to pick up some dry firewood. No offense."

The three snakes looked at each other, and one of the big snakes said, "It's amazing that you can speak our language. The three of us are also curious. No human has ever been here. I heard from the king that he often sees corpses of you humans in the sea."

Bi Yue was very surprised, "Oh, there is a snake king on your island, can you help introduce him to me? I won't treat you unfairly."

"If you want to see our king, then I have to ask him where he can find you if he is willing to see you."

"We have a tent right next to the beach. This is a reward for your help in delivering the message."

So he took out a small wooden basin, poured half a bottle of primary spiritual spring water into it, and gave it to the three snakes to drink. The three snakes smelled the fragrance of the water in the basin, swam over and began to drink.

Xiaomai was surprised and happy when she saw her young lady talking to the snake. She never thought her young lady was omnipotent.

Bi Yue put away the small wooden basin, and the three snakes swam away into the forest. The master and servant bundled up the dry firewood, each carrying two bundles, and returned to the beach outside the tent. They set up a large parasol, under which was a rectangular table and two wooden chairs. They took out a simple round iron stove and put an iron pot on it.

The two men went to the beach and took out a wooden barrel, poured half a barrel with the prawns and fish they had caught in the sea today, and then took out two stainless steel basins and two small stools, and started cleaning while sitting on the beach.

"Xiaomi, I don't know if there is fresh water on this island. We need to wash it with sea water and then with fresh water before cooking it. We can't eat it directly."

"Miss, you know so much. I am very happy to have learned a new knowledge today."

Bi Yue can say that she is knowledgeable, but she only knows this by asking the system.

"I also saw it in Fourth Uncle's travel notes. Think about it, sea water is salty, so it definitely can't be cooked and eaten like this."

"The lady is right."

The two of them washed the prawns and sea fish while chatting. It took them fifteen minutes to finish washing. They carried them under the parasol, took a clean basin, ordered more than 30 kilograms of bottled water on the system, put two or three barrels next to the basin, and began to wash them with clean water. After washing, they started to make a fire with wheat. The dry wood ignited easily. They put some water in the pot and boiled the shrimps first. Then they put the ginger, garlic and other ingredients on the table under the parasol. After half an hour of hard work, all the dishes were ready. Two boxes of self-heating rice were also cooked. The two of them sat on chairs, feeling the sea breeze, and began to eat heartily under the parasol.

The seafood I made myself is really delicious. The seafood we had at Old Man Li’s house last night was simply boiled in water without any spices, and the taste was bland. It was not as delicious as the one I made today.

After eating, we cleaned up briefly and went to rest in the tent, enjoying the electric fan, drinking ice water, and there was a plate of fruit on the table. This kind of life was really comfortable.

The tent is very large and rectangular, divided into three rooms, with the middle one like a living room and one room for each person on both sides.

Bi Yue quietly asked the system: "It's not convenient for Xiaomai to be around these days, so I didn't ask you, what kind of treasure is the black stone?"

"That's a good thing. Put it in your treasure bag first. I'll tell you how to open it when we go to sea tomorrow."

"Can't you just talk first?"

"It's a spirit stone, a treasure for testing spiritual roots."

I have watched many TV dramas in my previous life. In the dramas, a crystal stone is used in the hand to show whether there is a spiritual root. If there is, then you can cultivate immortality, right?"

"Yes, host, it is indeed so."

There was no response, the host fell asleep.

At 11:00 PM, Bi Yue woke up and lay in bed, not wanting to move. At this moment, a voice came from the system, "Host, the Snake King is here."

Biyue got up, dressed, and walked out of the tent. She saw that it was the colorful snake in the woods who came to deliver the message and said something to Biyue.

Biyue said, "It's afraid that the sand on the beach is too hot, so I'll go over to meet him."

Bi Yue asked Xiao Mai to stay in the tent and went to the shade alone. She saw a black snake king as big as a python from afar. Its head was as thick as a bucket, its eyes were as big as goose eggs, and its body was covered with shiny black scales. Its body must be more than ten meters long. It was coiled on the ground with its upper body upright, looking extremely majestic. Xiao Mai would definitely be scared if she saw it. Fortunately, she went to the tent to rest and didn't follow it.

It spoke first: "I heard from my snakes that you are going to stay on this island for ten days. This is my territory. Not only are you not afraid, but you also want to see me. You are really a brave girl."

Seeing that the snake king was not angry, Bi Yue said to it, "My lord, I only learned about your existence from your subordinates. As an intruder, I want to pay you a visit first, which is also a sign of respect for you."

Biyue felt that the snake's voice sounded like that of a 50-year-old human being. The longest lifespan of a snake is only years. It might have become a spirit to have lived for so long.

"You are still a very polite little girl. I agree. You can stay for ten days if you want. I will tell the snakes under my command not to disturb you."

Bi Yue asked curiously, "My king, how old are you this year? From the sound of your voice, you seem to be over 40 years old."

"I am 45 years old. I am the offspring of a python and an anaconda. Normally, I should only live to 30 years old. But by chance, I got a bead that increased my lifespan. But I don't know how long I can live."

Bi Yue asked tentatively: "Do you want to live longer? If you can become my subordinate, I can help you become a dragon."

"I'm serious. I'm familiar with the seas around here. Almost all of them are my subordinates. If you can really make me a dragon, I'd like to be your subordinate and do whatever you want. How about that?"

"First, you have to sign a contract with me. Not only will I help you become a dragon, but I will also let you transform into a human form and walk around in the human world. You don't have to live on this small island. You can think about it carefully when you go back. I'll give you three days to consider it."

Take out a wooden bowl and pour half a bottle of primary spiritual spring water for the giant python to drink.

After drinking the water, the python said goodbye and replied three days later, then left with its snake subordinates.
