Song Chiyu frowned, then tried to shrink the map inward with his hands.

The next second, the island that originally occupied the entire map interface shrank under Song Chiyu's manipulation.

On the interface, in addition to the island that has just been unlocked, there is a ring of black fog surrounding the sea area.

"It seems we also need to unlock the waters surrounding this island."

Song Chiyu said in a low voice.

She looked in the direction the group of sea monsters had just left, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

There are many of these sea monsters, and we are very likely to encounter them again.

But on second thought, after today's ordeal, they probably won't reappear anytime soon.

We need to take advantage of this time to unlock the remaining black mist.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

Song Chiyu and Daidai arrived at the beach without stopping, ready to go into the sea to find the remaining exploration tasks.

Upon arriving at the beach, they saw that the area that had just been occupied by the sea monsters had been completely ravaged.

All the plants were gnawed to pieces, not even the roots were spared, and the ground was riddled with holes.

Song Chiyu shook his head regretfully.

Suddenly, she noticed something strange.

In front of her, in the hole where the coconut tree had been pulled up, a seedling had actually sprouted.

Moreover, the seedling is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if it had been treated with a growth solution.

Song Chiyu looked surprised.

Then, looking at the other damaged areas, I was amazed to find that every plant was regrowth—roots, leaves, new buds…

This island actually has a self-repairing function!

Song Chiyu felt like she had struck gold.

If she really unlocks the island map, then she'll have a renewable resource.

With this discovery in mind, Song Chiyu excitedly dragged Daidai along, ready to go into the sea.

She can't wait to become the owner of the island map.

After taking a breath-holding pill, Song Chiyu found a relatively calm spot in the sea and went into the ocean.

The reefs here are relatively low, so the waves don't crash very hard.

Soon, she and Daidai arrived at the bottom of the sea.

There are far more marine creatures than on islands, and they come in a wide variety of sizes and species.

Schools of fish swam past Song Chiyu, and she even encountered a few sea turtles whose barnacles she had previously shaved, which happily circled around her.

Song Chiyu looked around and was surprised to find that the island was much larger than she had imagined.

The volume it reveals is only the tip of the iceberg; the island hidden in the water is its true form.

Perhaps there is ore in here.

But for now, finding exploration missions is the priority.

Song Chiyu stopped paying attention to the island and turned to swim deeper into the sea with Daidai.

The deeper you go, the larger the aquatic organisms become, and the lower the water temperature becomes.

Song Chiyu squinted and searched carefully, finally finding a task box on a super large pearl oyster.

"Island Exploration Mission 5: Collect 5 giant pearls, each 10 centimeters in diameter. Mission Completion: 0%"

A pearl with a diameter of 10 centimeters?

It's about the size of a fist!

Song Chiyu swam toward the giant pearl oyster and immediately saw a round pearl protruding from the open oyster.

Judging by its size, it's about the size of a fist!

Song Chiyu was overjoyed.

It seems that this first pearl was given to her by the system as a sample.

Just as she was about to reach out and take the pearl out, before her hand even got close, she heard a "snap!"

The pearl oyster's shell closed quickly.

With that speed and force, I don't even want to think about the consequences if Song Chiyu had actually put his hand in.

Song Chiyu's heart pounded with fear.

Turning to look at the pearl oyster again, I found that it now looked like a small tank, its entire body completely covered by a sturdy shell.

I have absolutely no idea where to start.

Undeterred, Song Chiyu took out a fruit knife and slowly inserted the blade into the gap between the clam shells.

Then pry it open upwards with force.

No matter how much force she used, the pearl oyster remained motionless; in the end, only the fruit knife was pried off.

Fruit knife: For my peanuts! For my peanuts!

Looking at the fruit knife that was now only half intact in his hand, Song Chiyu had no choice but to throw it away.

This time, however, she used an even bigger knife—a large cleaver.

The cleaver was much thicker than a fruit knife, so it was not easy to break, but it took a lot of effort to insert it into the crevices of the clam shell.

Song Chiyu and Daidai gripped the handle of the large cleaver together and pressed down simultaneously.

Finally, the seam of the clam shell trembled slightly, and then the gap widened until it was completely pried open.

Song Chiyu's eyes were filled with joy.

Just as I was about to reach for the pearl, the pearl oyster seemed to grow legs and vanished from its spot in an instant.

?

She slowly raised her head, staring in disbelief at the pearl oyster's retreating figure, her hands still in the position of holding a machete.

No, the book says that pearl oysters can't swim!

Has this clam become a spirit?

Daidai was the first to react, and she grabbed Song Chiyu and chased after the pearl oyster.

Pearl oysters are fast, but not as fast as Daidai.

As it approached the pearl oyster, it suddenly accelerated, snatched it up, and held it in place.

The pearl oyster made a sound as air flowed through the cracks, as if it were howling, but it couldn't break free from the dull, merciless iron hand.

Once Song Chiyu realized what was happening, he angrily drew his Fire-Slaying Spear and chased after him in a few steps.

She raised her arm and shot the clam directly.

The clam meat touched by the gun burst into bright red flames, then emitted the aroma of grilled oysters.

Song Chiyu quickly and skillfully removed the three pearls from the clam meat.

The pearl oyster, already roasted, died.

A quest box then slowly appeared on its corpse.

"Island Exploration Mission 5: Collect 5 giant pearls, each 10 centimeters in diameter. Mission Completion: 20%"

20%?

Does this mean that only one of these three pearls meets the standard?

Song Chiyu sighed and put both the pearl and the pearl oyster into his spatial storage.

It seems we need to continue searching for other giant pearl oysters.

【Host, would you like an automatic search tool? It's very cheap, only 1 space coin! You'll make a profit if you buy it!】

The voice of 001 appeared, with the sales pitch characteristic of a salesperson.

Is this search engine a disposable item?

If you can only search once, then it's not worth a single space coin.

[You can search three times, isn't that a good deal? Just buy it, big brother! Buy one and don't say a word!]

Song Chiyu: ...

Is this how you use this phrase?

However, being able to search three times is still acceptable.

"Okay, I bought it."

【Okay, boss, the automatic search tool has been shipped. Please pick it up promptly.】

As soon as 001 finished speaking, a small, round machine appeared in front of Song Chiyu.

It's only the size of a kumquat, with a big eye on it.

[Just tell it what you want to find, it's super intelligent!]
