I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 403: Wild Duck

The survival program on the Deserted Island was nearing its end with just ten days left. On this day, Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxi were searching for food in the woods.

The two of them, as teammates surviving on the Deserted Island, had developed a very good understanding of each other.

There were many small animals in the woods like wild rabbits and wild chickens, which they had learned to easily catch over the days.

"Ye Chen, do you think we can get off this island within ten days?" Lin Xiaoxi, looking at the sweaty Ye Chen beside her, asked.

"Of course, we can!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

Although this was a survival situation on a Deserted Island, there were ways to leave.

As long as they found the exit, they could get out.

However, this would require more time and energy, so he must seize each minute.

Lin Xiaoxi picked up a water bottle nearby, poured a cup of water for Ye Chen, and took out biscuits and milk from her bag to give him.

"Xiaoxi, have some biscuits, don’t exhaust yourself!"

"Thanks, Ye Chen, you should have some too, you’ve been working all day."

Ye Chen took the biscuits and started eating. This was their fourth-day task, and they had a decent haul over these few days.

"Ye Chen, look at that..."

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxi pointed ahead excitedly and shouted.

They saw a huge python coiled on a large rock ahead, flicking its crimson tongue and looking at Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxi.

"Ye Chen, run!"

Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxi immediately turned and ran backward.

Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxi ran fast, but the python leisurely followed.

Lin Xiaoxi was so scared that she turned pale and clutched Ye Chen’s arm tightly, not knowing what to do.

The python opened its huge mouth and lunged to bite Ye Chen.

Ye Chen hurriedly threw the water bottle in his hand.

With a loud bang, the water bottle hit the python’s head.

The python was stunned; it lay on the ground, eyes closed, no longer pursuing them.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the water bottle, put it back in his bag, and patted his chest: "That was really scary!"

Lin Xiaoxi looked at Ye Chen with a complex expression.

She was really afraid Ye Chen might have been killed; thankfully, he was alright.

"Ye Chen, you’re amazing!" Lin Xiaoxi gave Ye Chen a thumbs up, sincerely admiring him.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "It’s nothing amazing; I was just lucky this time, it was a fluke."

Lin Xiaoxi shook her head: "Ye Chen, don’t be so modest. If it had been someone else, they probably would have panicked by now; only you could be so brave."

Hearing Lin Xiaoxi praise him, Ye Chen felt a bit pleased.

However, thinking about Lin Xiaoxi’s expression just then, he couldn’t help but start laughing.

He sternly said: "Miss Lin Xiaoxi, you should be praising me now, not making fun of me, it’s hurtful!"

"What are you talking about?"

Lin Xiaoxi pouted, a look of displeasure on her face.

Ye Chen chuckled: "Xiaoxi, this time you helped me drive away the python, let me treat you to a big meal!"

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoxi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, just tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!" Ye Chen said generously.

Lin Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "Ye Chen, I haven’t eaten roast duck in a long time, I saw there seem to be wild ducks on this island, why don’t we catch a few and roast them?"

"No problem!"

Ye Chen agreed with a smile.

Lin Xiaoxi’s suggestion was really good; there was a lot of wild game on the Deserted Island.

"Alright, let’s go, let’s get the wild ducks first!"

Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxi took their original path back and soon found a cave.

Outside the cave, there were a few wild plants and a towering tree, which made it look like a maze.

"Ye Chen, look, there’s a wild duck!" Lin Xiaoxi exclaimed joyfully, pointing inside.

Ye Chen also saw the wild duck inside the cave.

"Wow! So many wild ducks!"

The wild ducks were half a meter tall, fluffy, and completely white, with sharp teeth covering their beaks.

They were bowing their heads to eat, savoring the food, completely unaware of the danger approaching them.

"Such plump wild ducks, we’re in for a treat tonight." Ye Chen swallowed his saliva and smiled, quickly catching one.

"Mhm!" Lin Xiaoxi nodded, she blinked at Ye Chen revealing a sly grin.

Ye Chen felt dazed, thinking this girl had become prettier and even more charming.

"Xiaoxi, I’ll leave this little wild duck to you. I’ll go find some firewood and gather some wild vegetables."

"Okay, I got it!"

Lin Xiaoxi obediently nodded.

"Then wait for me!" Ye Chen waved at Lin Xiaoxi before he left the cave and headed deeper into the forest.

He walked about a thousand meters and finally found an open area covered with dry branches and fallen leaves.

Ye Chen started digging in the soil with a shovel.

He planned on planting a circle of wild vegetables around; if he and Lin Xiaoxi came to this island later, they could eat here.

After digging for two hours, Ye Chen had dug up quite a few wild vegetables.

"Xiaoxi, all done, let’s go."

Ye Chen turned back and called out, only to see Lin Xiaoxi standing at the cave entrance, staring blankly at him.

"Lin Xiaoxi?"

Ye Chen called out puzzled, then walked up to Lin Xiaoxi and patted her shoulder.

"Xiaoxi, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing... nothing!"

Lin Xiaoxi suddenly snapped back to reality, then quickly shook her head and said, "I was just startled by the wild duck."

"Oh, as long as you’re alright. Then I’ll go find the firewood."

Ye Chen saw her pale face and asked with concern.

Lin Xiaoxi shook her head: "No need, I’m fine, you go ahead and find the firewood."

"Alright then!"

Ye Chen did not insist and then turned back towards the depths of the jungle.

"Ye Chen..."

Lin Xiaoxi suddenly called out to him: "Ye Chen, wait, let me come with you to pick up firewood?"

"Alright!"

Ye Chen sighed helplessly and agreed.

The two of them walked one after another to the middle of the forest, where Ye Chen found a small lake and began collecting firewood.

The lake covered an area of three to four hundred square meters, with a green surface and fish swimming in it.

Ye Chen crouched down to pick up firewood, while Lin Xiaoxi stood by to help.

Lin Xiaoxi saw the fish in the lake and couldn’t help but move closer to take a look.

She reached her hand into the water, touched something soft, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, there really are fish!"

Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh seeing her reaction.

Lin Xiaoxi glared at him and coquettishly said, "What are you laughing at, you idiot."

"Hehe..."

Ye Chen scratched his head, sheepishly said, "So what do you want to do?"

"Humph, I don’t care, I want to catch a fish to eat."

"Alright, then I’ll fish with you and teach you how to fish."
