Others try to survive on an island, I try to survive on a raft?

Chapter 40 Shen Ruying's Ingenious Plan

Li Yuanyuan thought she had frozen silly and was hallucinating.

In this stormy, pitch-black weather, how could there be a purple light appearing on the sea...? No, that's not right!

She wiped the rain from her forehead and looked again.

There really was a purple glow on the sea!

But the girl's first thought was that it might be some kind of powerful sea monster, and a wave of sadness washed over her.

But the next second, she realized that the thing enveloped in the purple light looked somewhat familiar.

No, take another look.

As the purple light drew closer and gradually magnified in her field of vision, she suddenly realized that it was a ship shrouded in purple light!

She even boarded that ship!

"It's Brother Su's boat! He's come to rescue me!"

A look of surprise appeared on Li Yuanyuan's face. She subconsciously wanted to shout, but she held back.

She glanced down warily. Who knew if these giant crabs could hear? If they could, wouldn't she be shouting to them, "There's a big piece of meat here, come and eat me!"

Moreover, even if she shouted, the distance was so great and the wind and rain so strong, the people on the boat might not be able to hear her, and it would all be a waste of effort.

Since shouting doesn't work, we'll have to try something else.

She looked at the colorful bracelet she had made from the scales of a rainbow-scaled fish yesterday and decided to try it out.

Li Yuanyuan took a deep breath and then climbed to the top of the tree.

This place is completely exposed to the wind and rain, which will accelerate her physical exhaustion. She can't stay here for long.

But this was her last hope, and she had to take the gamble!

She raised the hand with the colorful bracelet on it and waved it repeatedly in the air, trying to get Su Jin's attention with it.

These colorful fish and star corals live together and naturally emit a small amount of light, which is not obvious during the day, but can be clearly seen at night.

Especially this thing, the light it emits is seven-colored, which is much more obvious than a single color.

In addition, Li Yuanyuan kept waving, and a small, colorful dot moved back and forth in her field of vision, making it hard not to attract attention.

Not only Su Jin, but also Shen Ruying and Shen Qiaoqiao saw it, and the little girl was the first to notice.

The moment Shen Qiaoqiao noticed, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Uncle, Mom, look! There's something shaking over there. Is that Sister Yuanyuan calling for help?"

"Most likely." Su Jin couldn't help but smile with relief.

He's not stupid; he knows to find a place to hide. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have even had to wait for him to arrive before being killed by the sea monster.

While Shen Qiaoqiao was speaking, he had already roughly seen what was happening on the beach.

In the darkness, these crystal crabs also glow, but it's a dim light that's not noticeable unless you look closely.

But these dim lights were everywhere on the beach, some large and many small.

These small light blue dots kept emerging from the larger light blue dots, making the scene look extremely eerie.

Su Jin stared at the scene before him, frowned, and asked Shen Ruying beside him:

"Ruying, this thing, if I'm not mistaken, should be a large crab made entirely of pale blue crystal. I forgot to ask you before, do you remember anything about it?"

"Crystal... a giant crab?" Shen Ruying paused for a moment, then asked, "Brother Su, is this the Coral Sea?"

Su Jin nodded and replied:

"That's right, it's the Coral Sea."

He felt that Shen Ruying already had the answer and should know what this thing was.

Shen Ruying nodded slightly, then said with a solemn expression:

"These are Tier 2 common sea monsters, coral crystal crabs. They are named after their characteristics. If I'm not mistaken, these larger ones should all be female crabs, currently laying eggs."

Laying eggs, right... that makes sense.

Su Jin raised an eyebrow. No wonder he saw so many light blue dots. They looked like baby crabs that had just been born and were about to leave the ground.

Based on the current situation, most of the small crabs are burrowing into the sea, which is normal for crabs.

At this moment, Shen Qiaoqiao tugged at his sleeve and said:

"Uncle, Sister Yuanyuan is still waving, should we respond to her?"

Su Jin nodded and quickly came up with a good idea.

"Qiaoqiao, could you please do me a favor and use a wolf pelt to block the guiding star torch?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise:

"Uncle, you're so smart!"

As she spoke, she took a wolf skin and did as Su Jin had instructed.

Soon, Li Yuanyuan realized that her distress signal had been received and immediately felt relieved.

She gritted her teeth and climbed down from the treetop, finding a place to stand and conserve her strength.

She was a little nervous because she didn't know if Su Jin could think of a way to save her.

At this moment, Su Jin really didn't have any good ideas. He couldn't very well take a harpoon and kill these giant crystal crabs, could he? These were level 2 sea beasts!

Force is definitely not an option; we must outsmart them.

He turned to Shen Qiaoqiao and said:

"Qiaoqiao, make me a lot more wooden spears later. I'll sail closer, try to provoke them with javelins, lure them to the other side, and then circle back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ruying, who was behind him, suddenly interrupted him in a low voice.

"Brother Su, this won't work, but if you want to lure them away, I have a good idea."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Su Jin immediately perked up and urged the young woman to speak quickly.

"It's like this." Shen Ruying took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and said:

"Normally, when coral crystal crabs are laying eggs, they won't leave unless they are attacked with a fatal attack, even if one of their claws is broken off, let alone provoked."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin's face darkened. Did that mean he was about to do something pointless?

Fortunately, we had this encyclopedia; otherwise, we would have wasted our efforts and precious rescue time.

Then, he heard the young woman continue speaking:

"But provoking them is easy, even easier than Brother Su's method. We just need to take a boat trip along the coast."

"Just taking a stroll?" Su Jin was a little confused, but quickly realized, "You mean, let's go get some small crabs?"

"Yes, that's right." Shen Ruying nodded with a smile. "Coral crystal crabs are extremely protective of their own, especially the female crabs, particularly when they are laying eggs. They won't tolerate their offspring getting hurt."

"And Brother Su, your boat is currently burning with lightning fish oil. Just passing by can electrocute or even kill a large number of them."

"At that time, Qiaoqiao and I will use a net to catch some small crabs, so that the big ones will think we are catching their babies, and they will get angry."

"Great! Great!" Su Jin couldn't help but clap his hands; this method was truly ingenious.

"We'll do as you say!"

On the other side, Li Yuanyuan trembled on the big tree, hoping and hoping that Su Jin would come to save her.

At that moment, she saw Su Jin's boat move and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Yay! Brother Su is coming to save her!

But after a short while, she was dumbfounded.

Because she saw the boat approaching the shore, but instead of coming directly to it, it walked around the shore, and even...

There's a beautiful woman and a little girl catching small crabs on the boat?!
