Su Na had no choice and was forced to agree to Yang Yi's conditions.But she didn't feel the sting one bit.Her ship's supplies consisted of only 8 units of wood, 5 units of cloth, and 4L of fresh water. Giving half to Yang Yi meant nothing. Her ship, the Astrologer, was special. It didn't require wood and cloth for upgrades, but rather Crystal 100 and Steel 50. Therefore, wood and cloth were of little use to her and had mostly been traded for food and water.Of course, she wasn't going to tell Yang Yi that she was broke. And she was greatly looking forward to seeing the expression on Yang Yi's face when he found out.Yang Yi, completely oblivious, thought he had successfully extorted a hefty price from her and even felt a sliver of guilt. Using a piece of broken bone, he cut through the seaweed binding Su Na and set her free.But Su Na had been tied up for too long. Coupled with not having eaten for days, she was extremely weak and couldn't stand up for the moment. Yet, what she did with her hands left Yang Yi dumbfounded."What are you doing?" Yang Yi asked, baffled.Su Na was using her hands to gather all the mucus on the ground into a small pile, then she opened her mouth and sucked it in. One had to know, this mucus had an incredibly foul, fishy stench…."I'm thirsty. The mucus secreted by these sirens can provide me with water, salt, and some nutrients…" Su Na said faintly, her brows furrowed. Clearly, the mucus did not taste good, but she forced herself to endure the nausea and didn't spit it out."Aren't you afraid the mucus is poisonous?" Yang Yi asked."I'm not! You've been eating it for three days, and I haven't seen you get poisoned!""Er…"Yang Yi was speechless. He could only think that the woman before him was, to some extent, not normal!After rehydrating, Su Na's complexion improved considerably. She pulled a small knife from within her clothes, crouched down, and approached the corpse of the large sailfish. She slit open the fish's skin and cut a few slices of fresh meat, chewing and swallowing them.This small knife was also a piece of equipment.【Name: Witch's Dagger】【Type: Treasure】【Quality: Good】【Description: A dagger favored by witches with many functions, including cutting open your belly. Can inflict minor damage on Abyssal Horrors.】While Su Na was gradually recovering, Yang Yi began to survey the cave. The space wasn't large. There was only one passage leading directly outside, from which the pitter-patter of rain and the whistling of the wind could be heard. There was also a pool of water in the cave, its bottom unseen, very likely connected to the sea. He examined the male corpse and felt that it had been dead for some time. He patted down the body but found no items of value."The pool, the cave entrance… where do the sirens usually come back from?" Yang Yi asked Su Na."Both are possible," she replied."Do they move together?""No." Su Na had been observing this group of sirens for three days and had grasped some of their patterns. "They usually move in two groups. The larger one moves alone, and the other two smaller ones, about 1.4 meters long, usually move together.""Is that so? Then does the big one usually come back first, or the small ones?""Both are possible, there's no pattern. But the interval between their returns isn't long, about 15 minutes."Yang Yi nodded, getting a general grasp of the situation. If the three sirens were accustomed to moving together, then the best plan would be to run. After all, facing three sirens head-on was too risky! But if it was just two, then there was a chance of victory."Can you hold one of them off?" Yang Yi asked."If it's one of the smaller ones, I should be able to. I've fought them before," Su Na's voice came. She had replenished her salt and water, eaten some fish meat, and was slowly recovering. It was clear that her physical condition wasn't bad, perhaps even better than Yang Yi's."The sirens' main weapon is their song, but their song is ineffective against women. And their upper body strength is not strong, about the same as an average woman, around 4, similar to mine. If we fight on land, we just need to avoid their claws and teeth," Su Na explained.There were several scratches on her body, but they weren't deep. They were likely from the sirens."I didn't know there were three sirens at first, otherwise I wouldn't have been caught by them! You have a gun. Dealing with them should be more than enough. Just plug your ears and shoot as fast as you can!"Su Na didn't know that Yang Yi's gun could misfire, so she didn't think it would be difficult.Yang Yi didn't plan on explaining, either. Actively exposing his own weakness was not in his character. He began to check his attribute panel.Yang YiStatus: Healthy 『A stick-figure human diagram shown, completely green』Strength: 3 (49/50)Spirit: 7+1 (892/8000) 【Talent Bonus】Agility: 4+1 (69/100) 【Pirate Clothes Bonus】Constitution: 4 (4/100)Perception: 5 (32/200)Sanity: 50/100Stamina: 92/100Vitality: 99/100 (Bitten by Su Na, lost 1 vitality)He had already figured out the growth conditions for each attribute.Exercising the body could increase experience for Strength, Constitution, and Agility.Getting injured and then recovering could provide an extra boost to Constitution experience.Fluctuations in Sanity, especially drastic changes followed by recovery, could greatly increase Spirit experience.Actions like fishing, shooting, and using the grappling hook could all raise Perception experience.The methods of improvement, one could say, were very realistic.Combining this with Su Na's intelligence, the sirens' combat power on land was average, with a Strength of only about 4, and they didn't move in a group of three. So as long as he seized the moment and raised his Strength to 4, combined with the frenzied strength bonus (+2), he could achieve a suppressive advantage over the sirens. They were sea creatures, after all; their agility on land would definitely not be high. The only thing to be wary of was their fish tail. Its power should be immense, so he had to be careful not to get hit in a vital spot.After figuring this out, Yang Yi immediately took action. Gaining a single point of experience should be easy. He looked around, searching the cave for any heavy objects suitable for training. But at first glance, he saw none. The cave was empty, just stone walls and lightweight skeletons.But his thinking was flexible, completely unconstrained. He immediately set his sights on other objects. For example, Su Na. He could lift her to train his strength. Or the dead sailfish on the ground, which looked to be a suitable weight. Or perhaps… the male corpse on the ground.After considering everything, Yang Yi felt the male corpse was the most suitable. The sailfish didn't have a good grip point. As for Su Na, she would definitely resist, and he might even get bitten. So the male corpse was good—it wouldn't resist, and it wouldn't bite! Although its arms were half-gone, its weight was just right, and its head and neck were still there, making it easy to grip.So Yang Yi grabbed the male corpse by the neck with both hands, lifted it up, and began doing weightlifting training."Are you out of your mind? Have you gone mad?" Su Na looked at Yang Yi, deeply shocked ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) by his bizarre behavior. "Tell me, how much Sanity do you have left?""Don't worry, my Sanity is as high as 50!""50?"Su Na stared at Yang Yi, her eyes filled with disbelief. A drop in Sanity would affect one's mental state. Even if it wasn't below 50, there would still be some effect. But Yang Yi seemed completely unconcerned about his Sanity score, or maybe… he was in a constant, subtle state of madness.Su Na's gaze on Yang Yi gradually grew fervent, as if she were looking at some kind of rare animal.Yang Yi was completely unaware of this and continued his snatches. But unfortunately, just as he was on his ninth snatch, the sound of a creature slithering came from the passage outside the cave entrance. Judging by the sound, it should be just one."She's back! Quick, stuff this in your ears!" Su Na handed Yang Yi two suitably sized clumps of fish meat that she had just cut from the tuna.But Yang Yi shook his head and refused."No need, I have my own way!" He turned his head and looked towards the siren.
