That was a Shark, his entire body deep blue. As his sharp head emerged from the sea surface, Chen Mo actually saw four large, round black eyes!
What the hell? What kind of monster is this? Did it grow up drinking nuclear wastewater?
Before he could react, the enormous Shark opened his gaping maw, with teeth like blades, and fiercely bit towards the Floating Ice!
With a loud crunch!
The Floating Ice shattered!
"Oh my goodness~~~"
"It hurts!!!"
"Chen Mo, why don't you do something?"
The Old Floating Ice let out a miserable howl, even the Fire Pile was startled by the Floating Ice's shaking, crying out in alarm!
Chen Mo's ears were ringing from the impact, he definitely couldn't let the Shark continue to destroy the Floating Ice!
"You dare break my Floating Ice? I'll wreck you!"
He grabbed his meteor hammer, trying to steady his strength, and swung a hammer towards the Shark's forehead!
With a thud!
The meteor hammer's spike pierced the Shark's skin, he suddenly shuddered, causing a surge of current, and the Floating Ice violently shook along with it.
Chen Mo pulled hard, pulling the hammerhead back, that Shark immediately dove into the sea, but then surprisingly turned around and charged back!
"You dare come back?"
Chen Mo aimed as best he could, steadied his strength for a swing, the meteor hammer's spiked head whizzed out, and struck the Shark's black eyeball!
"It hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts!!!"
"Holy crap?"
Chen Mo actually heard the Shark crying out in pain?
He was momentarily stunned, the Shark immediately dove into the sea, and escaped!
"Damn it! It got away!"
Chen Mo picked up the fishing net, scooped up some of the crushed ice from the shattered Floating Ice, and quickly repaired it.
"Old Floating Ice? How are you? Do you feel better?"
"Old Ice floe is fine, it might not be okay..."
"It?"
Chen Mo looked back, and found that the small iron basin had been knocked over by the previous shaking, fresh water had spilled everywhere, and the Fire Pile had sacrificed itself...
But upon closer inspection, the previous crack was actually gone, it seems as long as fresh water flows over it, it can automatically repair itself.
Chen Mo didn't have time for deep mourning over the Fire Pile, he retrieved wood and a grass bundle again, lit them, and prepared to continue grilling fish.
Unexpectedly, just as the flames rose, Chen Mo heard a familiar voice.
"Achoo!"
"I'm freezing to death!"
"Who splashed water on me just now?"
This was clearly the Fire Pile from just now, the Fire Pile that was lit twice, were they actually the same life form?
Chen Mo shook his head, whether it counted as a life form was debatable...
He placed the Small Sea Fish that was half-grilled earlier onto the grill, grilled it for a while, and a faint aroma drifted out.
Chen Mo promptly flipped the fish, the side that had been in contact with the grill, was already grilled to a golden brown and slightly charred.
At this moment, Chen Mo looked into the distance, there were no Floating Ice blocks nearby, he estimated he wouldn't be able to get new supplies anytime soon.
That's fine, he might as well eat the grilled sea fish first.
Not long after, one Small Sea Fish was fully cooked, Chen Mo picked it up, no need to worry about it being hot, by the time he brought it to his mouth, it was already not hot~
If he was slow, it might even be cooled by the cold wind.
With one bite, it was fresh and delicious, the outside was grilled to a crispy char, the fish meat inside was still tender, the only problem was the taste was a bit bland, since there were no seasonings.
But being able to eat something so delicious at a time like this, Chen Mo was already quite satisfied.
As he was eating, he suddenly heard a lewd chuckle coming from the Floating Ice beneath his feet?
Chen Mo stamped his foot, and asked, "Old Floating Ice, what are you laughing at?"
"Old Ice floe just saw the Shark that bit Old Ice floe, was eaten by another large Shark!"
"Holy crap?"
Chen Mo couldn't be happy!
The Shark from just now was at least four or five meters long, a large Shark that could eat him, how big must that be?
Chen Mo suddenly felt, that it was very necessary for him to continue expanding the Floating Ice.
He was in no mood to enjoy the food anymore, he quickly stuffed the other two Small Sea Fish into his stomach, placed a basin of crushed ice on it, and draped his frozen-stiff baseball cap beside the grill, then went back to expanding the Floating Ice.
After being busy for a while, the 3m x 4m Floating Ice was expanded by him to 4m x 4m.
Chen Mo originally wanted to expand another layer, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough crushed ice.
He looked into the distance, a pile of ice blocks was approaching.
If he scooped up more this wave, the crushed ice broken down would at least allow him to expand the Floating Ice to an area of 4m x 5m.
Chen Mo gripped the fishing net with anticipation, after getting the gloves, he felt it wasn't so hard on his hands anymore.
Soon, a Minion-like clamor came from that patch of ice blocks.
But their personalities seemed a bit different from the previous ice blocks...
"Oh no, oh no! There's someone, someone!"
"Don't scoop me up, don't scoop me up, don't be scooped away!"
"It's over, it's over, he's coming closer!"
Chen Mo frowned, what was going on? They all didn't want to be scooped up by him, how could he know what they were carrying?
He got it!
Chen Mo smiled slightly, and shouted towards the Floating Ice, "Who has mud? I want mud!"
"No, no! I'm wood, I'm wood!"
"I'm a shell, no mud, don't scoop me!"
"I'm a grass bundle, not mud!"
Hehehehehe!
Chen Mo already knew what some of the Floating Ice contained, he aimed at the supplies he wanted and scooped.
With a bang!
An ice block was scooped up with a scream.
"You lied! You lied! I'm wood!"
Bang!
The force was too great, the ice block shattered directly!
Chen Mo vaguely heard the Old Floating Ice cry out, and curse, he didn't care at all, and seized the time to salvage the needed supplies.
Before long, seven or eight ice blocks were scooped up by him.
There was one last chance, Chen Mo didn't ask anymore, he directly aimed at the largest ice block, no matter what was inside, it would be a gain!
He pulled hard, dragging the large ice block closer and directly lifting it onto the Floating Ice.
At this point, the other ice blocks had drifted out of the salvage range, but this time two ice blocks were still stuck at the edge of the Floating Ice, and were directly lifted onto the Floating Ice by Chen Mo.
Next, it was prize-opening time!
With a slight smile, Chen Mo began to break them down one by one.
【Obtained: crushed ice x2, wood x1!】
【Obtained: crushed ice x2, shell x1!】
...
【Obtained: crushed ice x6, Small Sea Fish x1, sea shrimp x2!】
Done!
Tonight's dinner is settled!
These sea shrimp were as long as a palm, quite plump, not much smaller than the Small Sea Fish, the three ingredients combined, were just enough to fill him up.
Chen Mo was a bit curious about the use of that shell, he picked it up and checked the description.
【Shell】
【Description: An important material, can be used to craft armor.】
Can it be crafted into equipment?
Not bad!
Chen Mo put the shell aside, preparing to use the freshly broken down crushed ice to expand the Floating Ice, just then, a string of notification messages popped up.
【Game Announcement: Night will fall in 6 hours, please prepare the items needed for spending the night as early as possible, if you have no protective measures, if you sleep through it, you might turn into an ice sculpture!】
As the announcement appeared, Chen Mo's communication channel interface automatically popped up.
【Who can tell me, what needs to be prepared before nightfall?】
