With a shelter secured, the fire and water issues were largely resolved. The island's temperature was suitable, so there was no need to worry about keeping warm for the time being. Besides, Su Yang had arrived in winter and was still wearing heavy winter clothes. The immediate priority was to solve the food problem.

"I don't know how long I've been here since I crossed over. I feel like I can eat anything now, so I have to solve the food problem." With that thought, Su Yang quickly packed his heavy winter clothes, left the shelter lightly, and headed into the island's forest to look for something that looked edible.

"Now I basically know how to use elemental power, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right? If all else fails, I'll conjure up a few bombs and see if they work." Su Yang thought as he walked, and saw an animal about 30 meters ahead, with two horns on its head, a mouth like a trumpet, and a snow-white body, that was neither a cow nor a sheep, "sucking grass".

"Butterfly, what kind of animal is this? It seems to be eating grass and shouldn't be too dangerous, right?" Su Yang called softly.

"Hmm..." Die'er seemed to have just woken up. "This is an ancient beast, an animal that eats grass. But this animal is rather strange. It is not poisonous in spring and summer, but poisonous in autumn and winter. It may be related to the grass it eats. When it is not poisonous, it is snow-white all over, and when it is poisonous, it is pitch black all over."

"Okay, so if that's the case, we can eat it now. How aggressive is it? Is it easy to deal with?" Su Yang asked to confirm.

"Its attack power is average, but its power comes from its two horns, so just be careful of them. By the way, its elemental attribute is light, and its characteristic is harmony, which may be able to interrupt your attack."

"Harmony? It can also unleash elemental power?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

"That's not necessarily true; it depends on the individual. In any case, be careful. The creatures on the Lost Island are always beyond our comprehension," Die'er said solemnly.

After listening, Su Yang remained silent. He thought it best to test his idea of ​​storing elemental fusions in advance, and also to prevent the ancient beast from interrupting his attack by using its harmonizing ability. Su Yang then began to imagine. He saw purple light flowing around his hands, and swords and blades condensed and were laid out at his feet. At the same time, he kept silently chanting to condense fusions. After condensing many fusions, Su Yang concentrated his attention and entered a meditative state. In his meditation, he concealed all the condensed fusions around himself so that he could use them at any time. When he opened his eyes and looked around, there was no trace of the fusions, but he could still feel their presence.

"It's done! It really can store things in advance, but it seems the storage capacity isn't very high." Just as Su Yang was overjoyed, he looked up again and saw that the ancient beast had already gone to graze in the distance.

"Damn it, I'm supposed to be doing something serious, why am I thinking about other things?" Su Yang regretted it and quickly followed quietly, the purple swords spread out on the ground following him as well.

Su Yang moved behind the Ancient Crying Beast and launched a sneak attack from its blind spot. A dozen swords, under his mental control, rushed towards the Ancient Crying Beast as it was eating. Just when Su Yang thought he had succeeded, the Ancient Crying Beast sensed the attack. Its two horns instantly emitted an orange light, and the swords lost their luster just before they were about to get close. Then, the solidified entity made of elemental molecule shattered like petrified material and scattered on the ground.

"Damn it, how come I've encountered one that can actually use elemental power?" Su Yang's heart skipped a beat. The next second, the Ancient Cry Beast let out a piercing cry from its trumpet-like mouth, its horns turned towards Su Yang, slowly lengthening in a burst of orange light, and then it charged forward.

Su Yang hurriedly dodged behind a tree and used the condensed mortar to instantly conjure more than a dozen swords and blades, which shot towards the Ancient Crying Beast. The Ancient Crying Beast stopped charging, and the horns on its head returned to their original length. The next moment, the swords that had been charging away lost their color and petrified and shattered.

"It seems its elemental power cannot be used simultaneously. As a beast, it still lacks intelligence. This makes things easier." Su Yang was confident after seeing this. He silently condensed swords, controlling part of them in the sky and continuing to fly towards the Ancient Cry Beast. After a short interval, the swords in the sky pierced down. The Ancient Cry Beast was only concerned with the threat flying in front of it and did not perceive the sky at all. Just two seconds after the swords in front of it disintegrated, all the swords in the sky pierced into its body. The Ancient Cry Beast let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.

Seeing the Ancient Crying Beast collapse, Su Yang did not immediately go to check on its condition. Instead, he continued to operate. Before long, several more swords and blades were thrust into the Ancient Crying Beast's body from all directions. Seeing that it was completely unresponsive, Su Yang finally felt relieved and appeared to check on it.

Upon arriving at the Ancient Crying Beast's side, Su Yang saw that orange-yellow blood had stained its snow-white fur. The surrounding grass did not wither in the blood. Only then did Su Yang pick up a conjured butcher's knife and begin to carve the flesh.

First, he skinned the ancient beast. Since it was Su Yang's first time slaughtering an animal, this alone took a lot of time. Next, he cut off its limbs and horns, and then took some of the better-looking pieces of meat. After finishing this step, Su Yang slapped his forehead and said, "Hey! I'm so stupid. Why didn't I drag it back first? But even if I drag it back, I might not be able to finish dealing with it and attract other ferocious beasts. Oh well, I'll just take these with me for now."

After speaking, Su Yang vaguely smelled the blood in the air. He looked around but found nothing unusual, so he put away his spoils and prepared to leave. But the next second, a howl like a wolf came from the shadows, followed by the same howl from all directions. "It's an Ice Crystal Wolf! Get out of here!" Die'er's anxious voice came. Su Yang didn't dare to delay and ran away. In order to run faster, he unconsciously activated his elemental power. Two circles of purple light surrounded Su Yang's feet, and he seemed to float in the air as he ran. In the blink of an eye, he had run 200 meters away.

When Su Yang reached a short distance from the shelter, he stopped to look behind him. Not seeing any Ice Crystal Wolves, he felt somewhat relieved.

Back at the shelter, Su Yang rekindled the embers in the fire, set up a rack, and began roasting the meat. He was starving, and since he had no way of knowing whether the meat of the Ancient Crying Beast was edible or not, he only knew that it wasn't poisonous at the moment. After roasting a whole forelimb, Su Yang couldn't wait to start eating.

"It's edible, but I don't know what it tastes like. It feels like eating wild game, a bit fishy and tough. Oh well, as long as it fills my stomach, I won't worry about it too much." Thinking this, Su Yang continued to eat, and in about half an hour, his entire leg was completely devoured.

Su Yang burped contentedly, drank a few sips of water, and lay down on the carpet to rest. "Eating meat is still the most comfortable thing. I'll smoke and dry the rest of the meat later, store it, and wash the fur. It'll be softer to sleep on later."

After thinking it over, Su Yang crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, looked up at the top of the rock, and unconsciously started humming a little tune, recalling the details of today's battle, hoping to get some new insights.
