Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

Zhou Wen left the white-scaled leg armor and the duel ticket, and sent the red-tailed sea bream meat back to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin didn't refuse. After eating the red snapper meat, her strength reached 15 points. Following Zhou Wen's instructions, she went to the esophageal diaphragm and forcefully patted it.

The ever-active phasic Leviathan paused slightly, then the entire stomach wall began to vibrate violently, and the esophageal diaphragm tilted upwards.

Chen Xin had already learned about these reactions from Zhou Wen, so she wasn't flustered. She quickly grabbed the wooden foundation beside her to steady herself and waited for the Leviathan to finish its ascent.

After a short while, the stomach wall space became stable, and the esophageal diaphragm opened. Chen Xin picked up a supply box and eagerly entered the esophagus.

Wow! Seeing the sunlight again after so long feels like a lifetime ago.

Yes, you can soak up the sun and enjoy the sea breeze.

[Boss Zhou, you're so kind. By the way, why did you ask me to bring out soil, hay, and wood?]

[Build an earthen kiln.]

[An earthen kiln? Was it used for cooking?]

[It's used for making charcoal. I'll send you a picture later; just follow the instructions in the picture.]

【Huh? You said we were supposed to sunbathe and enjoy the sea breeze? I just stepped out and you're already making me work?】

The charcoal-making process takes a long time, so you can take a break then.

After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he quickly mixed soil, dry grass, and seawater to make mud, and then piled it into a ring-shaped mud circle on a wooden platform.

Once the pile reached a height of about one meter, Zhou Wen placed the wood vertically inside, arranging it into a cone shape to fill the entire space. At this point, Zhou Wen stopped and took a picture through the world system, sending it to Chen Xin so she could do the same.

Is this what an earthen kiln is?

[It's not finished yet. First, make it like this based on the photo. Oh, and here's a stone foundation. Do it on the stone foundation.]

Chen Xin quickly replicated it, since earthen kilns aren't exactly complicated things.

Next, Zhou Wen smeared mud onto the cone-shaped pieces of wood, sealing the top of the entire kiln except for a fist-sized opening for lighting the fire.

Five air inlets were also dug at the bottom of the mud ring to provide oxygen for combustion inside the enclosed kiln.

Thus, a simple charcoal kiln was completed. The next step was to light the fire and fire it, which Chen Xin had to do himself.

Zhou Wen took a photo of the top and side of the charcoal kiln, then sent it to Chen Xin and explained to her what to do after lighting the fire.

[Light the fire from the top opening. Once you can see the flames from the bottom air inlet, seal the air inlet with mud, and finally seal the top combustion opening.]

【Then what? 】

Then you can lie down and sunbathe.

Then all that was left was to wait. Zhou Wen knocked down the charcoal kiln he had made and put away all the materials. This was originally meant to be a demonstration for Chen Xin, but explaining it through words was too inefficient; seeing the images would help her understand it much faster.

Two hours later, the third supply box of the day arrived. Zhou Wen opened the supply box and found some basic materials, which he put directly into the storage cabinet. This time, he did not find any more water-sac sea cucumbers.

Zhou Wen took out the water sac sea cucumber he had killed earlier. According to the introduction, the water sac sea cucumber is edible.

Has the charcoal been burned yet?

"Huh? So fast? I thought it would take much longer to burn."

Chen Xin immediately followed Zhou Wen's instructions and simply removed the soil covering the top of the earthen kiln, so that the soil ring about one meter high below could be reused.

At this point, the wood in the earthen kiln had been burned into dark charcoal. Because the wood pieces were all the same size, the charcoal was burned at similar temperatures, and the resulting charcoal pieces were very intact.

If you can easily break the charcoal in half with your hands, and the inside is still black, it means the charcoal is ready.

Chen Xin collected the charcoal and sent it to Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen put all the charcoal into a supply box, then took out two pieces and tapped them together. The sound was crisp, indicating that the charcoal was of good quality.

Can you cook?

[I've been waiting for you to say that, please send the cast iron pot over quickly.]

Zhou Wen couldn't go out today and couldn't cook for himself, so he sent the iron pot to Chen Xin along with the sea cucumber and water sac, asking her to add it to her food.

Oh, and grill this for me, but be careful not to burn it.

Zhou Wen suddenly remembered that he had left a sweet potato. Yesterday, he used a furnace to cook, and the heat was too strong. If he put the sweet potato in, it would definitely burn.

Today, Chen Xin used an earthen kiln for cooking, so the heat wasn't too strong, which was perfect for roasting sweet potatoes.

Is there only one? Are there any others?

[There's only one, so don't even think about getting your hands on this sweet potato. If you want some, try looking in the world trade channel. There were quite a few small planting boxes sold before; maybe someone has grown sweet potatoes and is selling them.]

[Definitely not. These are small planting boxes traded by guild leaders. They grow them for their own consumption and don't sell them.]

[Mr. Zhou is the best! Can you share half of what you bake with me?]

【not good. 】

After that, there was no further news from Chen Xin. Zhou Wen didn't bother with her because his Leviathan transformation was experiencing some anomalies.

We've already acquired our third supply crate today. Normally, by this time, the Transformed Leviathan should have already found a safe zone and be getting ready to sleep, but he's still active.

"Hmph! Found you, you think you can run away after I've hit you? I'll have my villain kill you!" At this moment, the voice of the transformed Leviathan rang out, causing Zhou Wen's expression to change drastically.

"What the hell?" Zhou Wen was full of surprise, because based on the thoughts of the Illusionary Leviathan, it could be inferred that the Illusionary Leviathan had found the large creature it had fought yesterday.

Faced with such a large creature, the Leviathan in its illusion actually wanted Zhou Wen to fight it. Wasn't that just sending him to his death?

"Little guy, did you hurt your head yesterday? Why are you talking nonsense?"

However, the transformed Leviathan could not hear Zhou Wen's words. Its esophageal diaphragm opened directly, and a large amount of seawater entered the stomach wall space, and then quickly went out. This was repeated several times.

No more seawater flowed into the esophagus, but the esophageal diaphragm did not close, as if waiting for Zhou Wen to come out.

"Huh? You really want me to go?" Zhou Wen roughly knew why the Illusionary Leviathan wanted him to go. It was probably because that large creature was hiding in a lair that the Illusionary Leviathan couldn't enter, so it wanted him to kill it.

The problem is, can Zhou Wen handle a large creature that can leave the Leviathan covered in wounds?

"Why isn't the little man coming out? Hurry up and come out!" The bewildered voice of the transformed Leviathan rang out, but Zhou Wen didn't care; he wasn't about to do something that would send him to his death.

"Damn it! Since I can't get the villain to kill you, you might as well just die in there." Seeing that Zhou Wen wouldn't come out, the transformed Leviathan had no choice but to let out a vicious roar before preparing to leave.

"Wait, is that giant creature about to die?" Zhou Wen instantly extracted the key information from the Leviathan's harsh words.

So he immediately perked up, put on the white phosphorus leg armor that Chen Xin had sent him, grabbed his weapons and iron shield, and rushed out of the stomach wall space.
