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

[Ding! You have obtained the blueprint for a small aquarium, an iron greatsword, and a fishbone armor.]

"Three blueprints!" Zhou Wen was overjoyed as he heard the three blueprints mentioned in his mind.

Zhou Wen immediately took out all three blueprints and used them directly. The three blueprints turned into blue light and entered the system interface. Then, he opened the blueprint interface and checked the materials required for the three blueprints.

[Small Aquarium Blueprint: Requires 10 rocks, 10 pieces of glass, and 10 pieces of sand.]

[Iron Greatsword Blueprint: Requires 3 Iron Ingots and 1 Wood.]

[Fishbone Armor Blueprint: Requires several large fish bones, 100 golden seaweed fibers, 50 shieldfish fat, and 100 silk.]

After reviewing the manufacturing requirements of the three blueprints, Zhou Wen found the first two to be fine, as he already had the materials and could make them immediately upon returning home. In particular, the blueprint for the [Iron Greatsword] could be considered the strongest weapon currently available.

After all, many people don't even have any defense on them. Even Zhou Wen only wears armor made of spiky krill shells and uses a knife made of fish bones.

Its hardness is incomparable to that of iron weapons. Once Zhou Wen creates the iron broadsword, its combat power among survivors will be unparalleled and unmatched.

But when he saw the last blueprint, which listed the materials needed to make the fishbone armor, he was completely taken aback, because apart from golden seaweed, he had never seen the other materials before.

Large fish skeletons are manageable. Although there are no specific size guidelines, if he encounters a fish he considers large in the future, he can try to make one using only the blueprints. He'll eventually figure it out.

However, the prerequisite for using this method is that he needs to collect the other materials.

He did know about golden seaweed, but whether he could actually grow it was still unknown. Moreover, the materials for making the [Fishbone Armor] required 100 portions, and even just by growing it, he didn't know when he would be able to collect enough.

The other two materials, shieldfish fat and silk, were even more of a mystery.

However, Zhou Wen did not give up on making the fishbone armor because of the difficulty in finding these materials. On the contrary, he was even more motivated. The reason was simply that the armor looked too cool.

Fishbone armor differs from spiked armor. Spiked armor is worn piece by piece and doesn't look good overall. For example, the spiked helmet has three spikes standing upright on the head, like three antennas.

The fishbone armor is a complete set that fits together seamlessly. Its simple appearance and streamlined design that conforms to the human body, combined with the fact that the entire body is made of bones, make it look like an external armor from a science fiction movie.

Just looking at the simple illustration of the fishbone armor in the encyclopedia, Zhou Wen felt it was incredibly cool, which made him eager to make it immediately and try it on.

Of course, besides looking good, fishbone armor is also much more defensive than spiked armor. After all, it is made of large fish bones, and the strength of the skeleton is naturally incomparable to that of spiked krill shells.

Moreover, Zhou Wen had a vague feeling that there was something to it about the materials required for this large fish skeleton, as the requirements for these materials were far too broad.

Zhou Wen had a conjecture: any suitable large fish bone could be used as a material for making fish bone armor. If it turned out to be true, that would be interesting.

The creatures of this world are strange and wonderful. Many fish cannot be judged by common sense. There may be large fish whose bones are harder than steel. Could the bones of such fish be used to make fishbone armor?

Zhou Wen became more and more excited as he thought about it, feeling as if he was already wearing the armor made of fish bones that were harder than steel. But when he thought about how rare the materials were, his fantasy was shattered.

"Oh, forget about it, I still have important things to do." Zhou Wen shook his head, temporarily suppressing his desire for the fishbone armor; the cave wasn't fully explored yet.

Now, Zhou Wen had another gold-rimmed supply box in his hand. He glanced at the ordinary supply box he had brought and transferred the contents of the ordinary supply box to the gold-rimmed supply box without hesitation. Then he gave the empty supply box to Jiang Haitao.

They re-explored the space, and after confirming that there was nothing else there, they crawled into another cave within it.

The water in the cave was still very clear, which made Zhou Wen curious about whether he could find another gold-rimmed supply box ahead.

With anticipation in his heart, Zhou Wen increased his crawling speed in the cave considerably. This time, he didn't crawl two hundred meters, but only about fifty meters before entering a space.

Zhou Wen quickly explored the space and, surprisingly, found no supply boxes. However, he discovered a staghorn coral underwater in the center of the space.

The coral is entirely blood red, and when observed under light, a thin layer of blood mist appears around it, the nature of which is unknown.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Wen decided to touch it to see if he could unlock the creature encyclopedia and check the information about the coral.

In other places, Zhou Wen would definitely not dare to touch it, in case there were unknown dangers. But here, based on his previous experience, this kind of space is where treasures are kept.

There are no supply boxes in this space, only this coral, which means that the treasure of this space is this coral.

Zhou Wen extended his finger and carefully touched the blood-red coral, then immediately withdrew it. After checking that his finger was normal, he opened the biological encyclopedia.

The biological encyclopedia has indeed been updated, and not just once.

"Huh? How come I unlocked two different creatures?"

【Gel Planarians】

Body length: 10 cm

Weight: 200 grams

Food type: Algae

Description: A soft-bodied creature with a strong regenerative ability; its body can produce hemostatic gel.

“This gel planarian looks like the flat, soft creature I saw before.” Zhou Wen suddenly remembered the slimy, flat creature he had seen on the rock wall before encountering the giant worm.

"If they can make hemostatic gel, I have to catch a few of them and take them back." Zhou Wen was overjoyed, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

[Boiling Blood Coral Polyps]

Body length: 3 mm

Weight: 0.05 grams

Food type: Blood

Description: Tiny creatures that live in colonies on the corpses of their ancestors; coral can be used to make boiling blood powder.

"Boiling Blood Coral Polyps? They should be creatures that live on corals, but what exactly is this Boiling Blood Powder for? The description doesn't even explain it clearly. It's really annoying."

Zhou Wen really didn't know what to say about the descriptions in the biological atlas. He just gave a general overview and then left it to figure things out on his own, which was too dangerous.
