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

"No wonder it can only be used once a day; it turns out that the amplification also has a weakening effect."

Zhou Wen felt completely drained of energy. Fortunately, the dangerous feeding phase was over; otherwise, in his current state, he wouldn't even have the strength to swing his knife at the anchor worm.

After that, Zhou Wen had nothing else to do. After picking up the spiked armor that he had casually thrown on the ground, he climbed back into the narrow resting area.

As soon as he entered the rest area, Zhou Wen suddenly noticed that the pain in his arm tendons had disappeared. Somewhat uncertain, he did two push-ups and found that it was indeed healed.

"The restorative effects of the Boiling Blood Coral Powder are quite strong," Zhou Wen remarked in surprise.

In summary, Boiling Coral Powder has a very comprehensive amplification effect, including strength, speed, and recovery ability. Moreover, the first use will permanently add three points to constitution. However, it can only be used in critical situations, as the amplification will leave the user weak afterward. It can be considered a trump card.

"I wonder if the hemostatic gel of the gel planarian can also be made with a stone mortar and pestle?" Zhou Wen, looking dejected, curled up in the rest area, quietly pondering as he recovered his strength and energy.

As I thought about it, my eyelids started to droop. The aftereffects of the Boiling Coral were really too strong, but now was definitely not the time to sleep. In a little over an hour, the Leviathan would be swallowed by the first supply box of the day.

Although the supply box area has been relatively safe these days, we cannot let our guard down. With that in mind, Zhou Wen got up and took out a can of fruit from the storage cabinet, along with chopsticks.

After opening the can of fruit, Zhou Wen slowly began to eat with chopsticks. Having just enjoyed a fresh and delicious watermelon, the canned fruit held a significantly lower status for him in comparison.

He even felt that the canned fruit pulp tasted terrible, and the broth was cloyingly sweet; in short, it was far inferior to watermelon.

"I'm so ungrateful," Zhou Wen said with a self-deprecating laugh. Among the survivors, the majority have never even tried canned fruit, yet he's now complaining about it.

Time passed slowly. More than an hour later, the sound of water came from Zhou Wen's esophagus. After eating the canned fruit and resting for another hour, his energy was restored.

The esophagus opened, and seawater rushed into the stomach wall space; the first supply box of the day had arrived.

Zhou Wen donned a suit of spiked armor, entered a state of combat readiness, slowed his breathing, and listened to the sounds in the seawater. He then heard creatures swimming rapidly in the water, creating a great commotion.

"Mirror-skinned barracuda?" The sound made by the aquatic creature felt very familiar to Zhou Wen.

After the tide receded, Zhou Wen indeed heard the familiar sound of fish jumping. He shone a light on the fish and saw a band of light moving up and down, confirming that it was a mirror-skinned barracuda.

Zhou Wen climbed out of the rest area, first finding and opening the supply box, then dealing with the mirror-skinned barracuda after it had exhausted itself jumping around.

[Ding! Gold ore x1.]

"Another piece of gold ore. It seems my chances of finding these rare ores are pretty high now." Zhou Wen said as he walked to the seaweed cultivation box and placed the gold ore near the golden seaweed.

"Now that I've regained some energy, let's see how the gel planarians that were cut in half are doing."

When Zhou Wen arrived at the aquarium where he was raising gel planarians, he found that the seaweed he had thrown in earlier had been almost completely eaten, and the number of gel planarians had increased to 11, although two of them were half the size of the others.

"This is... cut in half, and now it's two strips?" Zhou Wen asked with some surprise.

"This is not just strong recovery ability, it's clearly strong regeneration ability."

Zhou Wen exclaimed in surprise, then reached out and grabbed a small gel planarian, throwing it into the stone jar. He was ready to experiment with his idea.

Crushing the body of the gel planarian with a grinding rod is a more cruel process than grinding the boiling blood coral polyps, since it is a living creature. But there is no other way, because according to the gel planarian, the body is used to make hemostatic gel.

Fortunately, the gel planarian's body is entirely made of gel, so it has no blood and doesn't appear too gory.

Because the planarian's body is very soft, Zhou Wen didn't have to exert much effort, and the gel worm quickly turned into a clump of sticky gel.

[Ding! You have obtained 1 piece of hemostatic gel.]

[Ding! Hemostatic gel. When a wound is bleeding heavily, applying the hemostatic gel to the wound can provide immediate hemostasis and slightly accelerate the healing process.]

"It really works, and it's very effective!" Zhou Wen's eyes lit up when he heard the notification, which meant that his previous idea was correct.

After carefully listening to the explanation of the hemostatic gel's function, Zhou Wen's face lit up with joy; the hemostatic gel was incredibly useful.

Previously, the anchor worm had bitten a hole in the stomach wall, and fresh blood was gushing out. At that time, Zhou Wen was helpless. Fortunately, the size of the coccidia was just right to block the wound, otherwise he could only watch helplessly as the wound continued to bleed.

Now that we have hemostatic gel, we have a way to treat the illusion of Leviathan. If any creature bites into the stomach wall space again, we can use the hemostatic gel to repair the wound.

Considering the crucial role of the hemostatic gel in transforming Leviathan, Zhou Wen felt that ten gel planarians were far too few. In case of large-scale wounds in the stomach wall in the future, these few gel planarians would obviously not be enough.

So he picked up the iron knife and cut all nine large ones in half. Then he took out two portions of seaweed he had bought from the storage cabinet and put them into a small aquarium to increase the number of gel worms.

"If I had known, I should have caught a few more yesterday," Zhou Wen said with some regret.

Since Zhou Wen and the stomach wall space of the transformed Leviathan were not injured, the hemostatic gel he had made was temporarily useless, so Zhou Wen put it into the storage cabinet.

Next, it was time to process the mirror-skin barracuda. ​​Having already processed three before, Zhou Wen was very skilled, and with a sharper iron knife, cutting the fish meat was even easier.

He divided the Mirror Skin Barracuda meat into three pieces and put them on the trading channel. He was still trading Leviathan Transformation Accelerator Food Encyclopedia Fragments. He had now collected 6 fragments and only needed 4 more to complete the encyclopedia.

Looking at the silver fish bone in his hand, Zhou Wen decided to make it into a fish bone knife and put it on the trading channel to trade for fragments. Since he was only missing 4 fragments, he might as well collect them all at once.

Using the Fishbone Knife to trade for fragments would be a huge loss, because currently the Fishbone Knife is one of the top weapons among all survivors.

Although some people have obtained the [wooden sword blueprint], how can a wooden sword compare to a fishbone knife? The sharpness and hardness are on completely different levels.

Therefore, trading valuable blueprints with the fishbone knife is the most appropriate method. However, Zhou Wen is now close to collecting all the fragments, so he is no longer considering the gains and losses involved.

As soon as the fishbone knife was listed, someone started trading it. Zhou Wen immediately acquired a fragment, and shortly after, three portions of mirror-skin barracuda meat were also traded away, leaving him with four fragments.

"Finally, we're all here."
