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

Zhou Wen gasped for breath as he slowly retreated to the stone foundation and leaned against it. The dozen or so powerful slashes he had just made had almost exhausted all his strength.

"What is this thing?" Zhou Wen immediately opened the biological encyclopedia. This soft-bodied creature had already touched him, so the encyclopedia must contain basic information about soft-bodied creatures.

【Dream Anemone Worm】

Body length: 3 meters

Weight: 40 kg

Food type: Blood

Description: A parasite that lives inside giant organisms. It induces hallucinations in humans by waving its anemone-like tentacles, then implants its eggs into the human body. The larvae absorb human blood to accelerate their growth and eventually burst out of the body. It is extremely dangerous, and its bodily fluids can be used as a hallucinogen.

"Do I still have any worm eggs inside me?" After reading the introduction of the Dream Sea Anemone Worm, Zhou Wen's biggest worry was that he hadn't vomited up all the worm eggs inside him.

But now, he has no way of knowing what's going on inside his body, so he can only drink water like crazy and induce vomiting to try to get rid of the worm eggs in his stomach.

After a while, Zhou Wen was completely exhausted from vomiting. He stopped vomiting and needed to conserve his strength for the next few rounds of feeding in case he encountered any new aggressive creatures.

According to the introduction, the bodily fluids of the Dream Sea Anemone Worm can be used as hallucinogens, so Zhou Wen collected all the bodily fluids in a wooden bucket. During the collection process, he would also be affected, but because he was mentally prepared, he would usually only be in a daze for a moment and would recover quickly.

After dealing with the corpse of the Dream Anemone Worm, Zhou Wen also saw an oval-shaped worm shell that was two meters long and one meter wide. There was a neat crack in the middle of the worm shell, which had now split in two.

The Dream Sea Anemone Worm must have come out of this worm shell. Zhou Wen tapped it with his iron broadsword and found that although the worm shell looked very thin and was even transparent, it was actually very hard. He struck it hard with the iron broadsword, but it didn't leave a single mark.

Zhou Wen tried to pick up half of it; it wasn't very heavy, only about 30 jin (15 catties).

[Ding! Obtained Dream Anemone Insect Protective Shell x1.]

"This is still a material?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised when he heard the notification in his mind.

However, the system did not provide any explanation, and Zhou Wen did not know what it was for at the moment. But he figured he would need it in the future, so he put both halves of the protective shell into the locker.

After resting for a while, the Leviathan began its next feeding round. Zhou Wen quickly hid. This time, the sea was calm, and he did not encounter any strange creatures.

After a period of time, the entire feeding phase ended. Except for the initial encounter with the Dream Anemone Worm, the subsequent feeding rounds were all passed peacefully.

Zhou Wen began moving the seaweed, but he was very uneasy. He didn't know if he had expelled all the worm eggs from his body. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt something slowly moving inside his stomach.

"The character attribute panel shows bacterial infection, I wonder if it will show parasitic infection?" Zhou Wen wondered as he opened the character attribute panel.

[Zhou Wen (Pioneer)] (Normal human attributes are 10)

Intelligence: 12

Power: 11.5

Constitution: 22

Speed: 15

Assessment: Infected with eutrophic bacteria and parasitic larvae of the sea anemone, a person whose life is nearing its end.

"If you're really infected with parasites, you won't live much longer..." Zhou Wen's voice was soft and helpless; he wanted to be anxious, but there was no use in doing so.

He opened the world trade channel and searched for some insecticide, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing. He only had some anti-inflammatory drugs, which he had a box of himself, which he had traded for a long time with the meat of spiky krill.

Zhou Wen took out the box of anti-inflammatory medicine from the storage cabinet. He knew in his heart that the anti-inflammatory medicine was useless, but he still swallowed one pill, just to give himself some psychological comfort.

After taking the anti-inflammatory medication, Zhou Wen continued moving the seaweed. An hour later, the seaweed was moved.

Zhou Wen opened the character attribute panel again, hoping that the anti-inflammatory medicine would really work and at least eliminate the oxygen-rich bacteria, but the evaluation was still the same as before, without any change.

"This is really unreasonable. Is my 22-point constitution fake? What about my immune system? I can't kill the bacteria, and the parasites can't do anything about it either." Zhou Wen thought about it more and more and felt that it was unreasonable. He glanced at his thigh, which he had just cut with the iron knife.

By this time, the wound had stopped bleeding and was healing quite quickly, so he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Since there was no other way, Zhou Wen gave up and took out a can of beef from the storage cabinet, opened the lid, picked up chopsticks, and started eating.

This is a canned tomato beef. The beef pieces inside are all very large, each with a good balance of fat and lean meat, and it's from the brisket cut. It's neither greasy nor dry. Paired with a sour, spicy, and savory tomato beef soup, it's truly a feast for the senses, a taste of everything.

"Sigh~." Zhou Wen was still in a bad mood after finishing the canned tomato and beef.

Infection with oxygen-rich bacteria is actually not so bad, as there are no obvious symptoms inside the body. However, parasites are a bit hard for him to accept. Having live worms inside his body makes him feel very disgusted.

After the Leviathan transformation is complete, the supply crate phase begins.

"Hopefully, the supply crate will contain insecticide or medicine to treat oxygen-rich bacteria." Zhou Wen could only pin his hopes on the upcoming supply crate.

While waiting for the supply boxes, Zhou Wen sent a private message to Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin, asking if any guild members who received the small planting boxes had encountered any problems, such as leaving the guild after receiving the small planting boxes.

Yes, there are some, but not many, just one or two. People with short-sighted views are still in the minority.

After all, they're in the public eye, and they might become key members in the future. They've been entrusted with such precious small planting boxes, so they'll definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and they'll be the first to benefit from any opportunities.

In a world without laws and rules, being trusted by a guild from the start means that, as long as you don't leave, you're bound to become a core member, because trusting newcomers comes at a cost.

Zhou Wen then inquired about the fruit's growth and, upon learning that everyone's fruit was growing well, ended the conversation.

The plan to grow fruit can only be implemented gradually. Those few who took the small planting boxes and left the guild are just insignificant normal losses. They will regret it later.

Two or three hours later, without any unexpected events or being chased by any giant creature, the transformed Leviathan successfully swallowed the first supply box of the day.

After observing the seawater and confirming that there were no dangerous creatures, Zhou Wen took a wooden bucket and changed the seawater for the gliders. After all, gliders eat plankton, and changing the seawater would provide them with some food.

As the seawater receded, an ordinary supply box was revealed, which Zhou Wen immediately opened.
