C235 The One Who Gave the Food Was the Boss
"Hatch, how can you talk like that!"
Although He Ben retorted, it was obvious that he was not confident enough. The resources on this island were scarce, and everyone was thin. Indeed, there was not much food to feed Lee Liang.
Ha Qi was a young man in his twenties, but he was very small. He was all skin and bones, and only a pair of eyes could be seen. While rejecting Lee Liang, he also looked at Harbin. It was as if there was a hook in his eyes.
However, He Ben was a child, so he did not notice this at all.
"Alright, I'll go look for food myself!"
Lee Liang took the initiative to speak. He didn't want to make things difficult for He Ben.
"What ability do you have to find food?! We have searched all the edible things on this island, unless you eat tree roots and withered grass. You cannot use that ship, that is the only tool we can use to fish in the sea!"
Hatch was very hostile towards Lee Liang, and his words were also very excessive.
"I won't argue with you. Don't worry, I don't know how to use tree roots and withered grass, and I don't know how to use your raft!"
Indeed, Lee Liang didn't have the time to argue with Hatch. He had seen the raft before, and it could only be drawn about 500 meters away from the island, and it would be knocked over because it couldn't withstand the waves.
The so-called fishing did not even have a fishing net, so it was impossible for them to gain anything.
"Okay, then let's see how you can get food. There have been arrogant strangers like you before. In the end, they were all starved to death!"
When he said this, a trace of greed appeared in Ha Qi's eyes. This made Lee Liang think of a certain possibility.
Without saying any more nonsense, Lee Liang walked straight to the shore. The blue sea water seemed calm, but no one knew what kind of danger was down there.
"Don't go. There are sea beasts in the sea. It's very scary. Many of us have been eaten by sea beasts!"
Huben quietly ran over and reminded Lee Liang in a friendly manner.
Lee Liang smiled at He Ben. Without saying anything, he jumped into the sea.
But from this island, nothing could be seen. In order to understand this place, he had to dive deep into the ocean. What was going on with the two Sea Clan that he had encountered earlier? It was also something that Lee Liang had to find out!
Unfortunately, he had lost An Ran, or else he would be able to obtain more useful information.
Lee Liang's plan was very simple. He would directly transform into a zombie. If zombies could not breathe, then diving into the water wouldn't be a problem.
However, the reality was somewhat different from what he had expected.
Lee Liang, who was in a zombie state, dived into the water at a certain depth. His body had actually changed. Three layers of gills had grown on his two sides of his face. Furthermore, webbing had also grown out between his hands and feet. He gently slid it. His entire body was like a shuttle, piercing deeper into the sea.
"How could this be?"
Lee Liang did not understand what was going on. The biggest possibility was that the Mimesis Seed in his body could allow him to imitate marine life after awakening its ability, allowing him to quickly adapt to the state of the sea.
Buzz!
A furious roar came from not far away. Lee Liang turned his head and saw a pair of green eyes. Each of them was the size of a bowl, floating up from the seabed and moving quickly towards him.
"Sea beast!"
Lee Liang immediately realized that this was the sea beast that He Benkou was talking about.
He only saw the appearance of this sea beast when it got closer to him. It was an enlarged version of a sea bull, but it was different from the one in his memory. This fellow's body was as big as a bus, and he had two rows of four tusks in his mouth. The tusks were all down, as long as a person. Other than the four tusks, obviously, these tusks were for eating meat!
Weng!
The sea beast opened its mouth wide and bit towards Lee Liang, wanting to swallow him whole.
"I'm going to disappoint you!"
Lee Liang took out his dagger. At this moment, he was still able to move freely in the ocean. Not only did he not run away, but he also rushed towards the sea bull.
Slash!
The sound of cloth being torn apart could be heard. A huge hole appeared on one side of the sea beast's body, and blood immediately dyed the surrounding sea red.
After struggling for a while, the Sea Cow stopped moving.
Lee Liang grabbed its tail and quickly swam back to the island.
The blood had attracted the attention of the other sea beasts, so they had to be fast!
Lee Liang dragged the dead body of the sea beast onto the shore. A few huge black shadows lingered in the water for a while before they left.
When Lee Liang returned to his human form and dragged the dead body of the sea beast to the front of the group, everyone had the same expression on their faces. Their mouths were wide open, feeling that this was impossible!
"This sea beast is so huge! How did you kill it?!
At first, Huben didn't even dare to approach the corpse of the sea beast.
Lee Liang didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a dagger and sliced the carcass of the sea bull a few times, splitting it into several pieces.
"Make a fire and eat meat!"
Hunger would temporarily make one lose their rationality, and curiosity would only last for a short while. Everyone quickly placed the meat on the fire and roasted it.
"You're so awesome!"
He Ben looked at Lee Liang with admiration.
"I am not powerful. If I were powerful, I would be able to protect my friends and the people closest to me time and time again."
Lee Liang smiled bitterly. He couldn't let go of the scene in Sky City.
The meat was roasted very quickly. Apparently, the people here hadn't seen so much meat in a long time. Each and every one of them was spitting out blood, but one of them was an exception.
Ha Qi, who had been targeting Lee Liang previously, actually took out a piece of roasted meat and put it on the table. He said to Lee Liang in an ingratiating manner.
"Boss, this is something I specially snatched for you. The best part is for you to eat!"
"Boss?"
Lee Liang was a little surprised. This guy's face really changed quickly.
"Boss is the one who can give us food. Boss, I will always follow you!"
Ha Qi said flatteringly.
"No need!"
Lee Liang directly refused, and his tone became stern.
"Don't do anything under my watch, or else I won't be polite!"
After saying that, he let Hutch go. Lee Liang did not like this kind of person.
Hutch secretly looked at Lee Liang with hatred, but did not dare to make a move. He could only run away secretly.1
After a full meal, everyone divided the remaining meat and stored it.
The sky gradually darkened. People started a fire, and then huddled together, as if they were very afraid of the dark world outside of the fire.
"Are you guys always like this at night?"
Lee Liang asked He Ben.
Hepburn curled up his body and nodded vigorously. He was no longer as lively as he was during the day.
The sea breeze blew past the canyon and the mountains. It became a whistling sound.
The entire sea was no longer as calm as it was during the day. It was as if this was the true face of the sea.
On the shore, there were actually some small moving dots. They gradually became bigger and were constantly walking towards them.
