"Didn't Grandpa say that golden-level pet beasts wouldn't leave their territory? How come this one is an exception? Could it be that as soon as I came up, I entered the territory of a Thunderous Fierce Horse?"

"It shouldn't be! Thunderous Fierce Horses are irritable by nature. If this were its territory, it should have gathered the herd and charged at me, not left quietly."

Li Cunxu retracted all his pet beasts except for Xiaoruan. If a group of Thunderous Fierce Horses charged at him, Li Cunxu would ride Xiaoruan and flee to the sea.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the forest across the beach.

The weather on the sea changes unpredictably; it can rain without any prelude.

"Xiaoruan, use the Cyan Lotus Sword Blade to chop down all these coconut trees."

Li Cunxu couldn't distinguish whether the coconut trees by the beach were ordinary or explosive ones, so he decided to cut them all down.

Unclear about the island's conditions, Li Cunxu planned to temporarily settle on the beach, and these explosive coconut trees posed a dangerous threat that had to be removed.

The wind blew, and explosive coconuts dropped. With another gust, the coconuts rolled to where Li Cunxu was preparing to build shelter, and then exploded, destroying what he built.

After chopping down several coconut trees, the nearby silent explosive coconut trees couldn't hold back any longer and started throwing explosive coconuts.

Xiaoruan let the explosive coconuts explode on its body, which couldn't break its defenses anyway.

The spectators marveled repeatedly.

"Is this the Slime I used to squash with one foot? Enduring so many explosions without a scratch."

Explosive coconut trees can move, but it is quite troublesome, requiring them to retract their underground roots first. This process is very slow, taking three to four minutes, in which time Xiaoruan can unleash hundreds of Cyan Lotus Sword Blades.

One by one, the explosive coconut trees fell.

The more distant explosive coconut trees went more berserk, hurling explosive coconuts even more fiercely.

Explosive coconut trees have weaknesses but also strengths.

Their weakness is slow movement; their strength is a long range.

Three to five kilometers, casually thrown.

These explosive coconut trees have no experience in battling Beast Masters, unaware that attacking the Beast Master is the most effective strategy.

They didn't attack Li Cunxu, only targeting Xiaoruan, who was chopping down trees.

This doesn't mean Li Cunxu could sit back and watch the show in peace.

Explosive coconuts have a wide impact area, and coconuts thrown from farther away lack precision, risking collateral damage to Li Cunxu.

Li Cuncun's solution was simple: prop up an enormous watersphere to intercept the explosive coconuts' power outside.

By the final count, about one hundred trees remained, and the explosive coconut trees were finally frightened and attempted to flee.

Li Cunxu quickly said, "Xiaoruan, kill all the explosive coconut trees on this beach, don't let a single one go, or we won't have a peaceful night's sleep."

Explosive coconut trees are cunning and vengeful pet beasts. If you hurt them or their companions, they'll find a way to retaliate.

In a previous life game encounter, Li Cunxu didn't kill them all, and when night came, the explosive coconut trees gathered two kilometers away and bombarded Li Cunxu's tent.

Li Cunxu was bombed to death in his sleep.

To avoid nighttime attacks from explosive coconut trees, the solution is simple: kill all the explosive coconut trees that hold grudges against you, so that explosive coconut trees elsewhere don't know you've slaughtered them.

Without knowing, they naturally wouldn't come for revenge.

To put it plainly, it's like killing all the witnesses, so no one knows you're the perpetrator.

The explosive coconut trees move very slowly, and they are tall, generally over fifteen meters. Even if they enter the forest, Xiaoruan can easily spot and chop them.

In less than half an hour, Xiaoruan had wiped out all the explosive coconut trees on the beach.

There were few skill seeds from the fallen explosive coconut trees, but each one reliably dropped a [Explosive Fruit] skill seed.

Li Cunxu used the bodies of the explosive coconut trees to build a wooden house.

The wood from explosive coconut trees is waterproof, fireproof, and explosion-proof, perfect for building a house; a grenade couldn't damage it.

The surplus wood piled on the side could be used for building a boat or constructing a second cabin.

Even after the explosive coconut trees died, there were still coconuts on the trees, which... were still inedible and just as explosive.

Li Cunxu had Xiaoruan detonate all those coconuts.

Explosive coconuts are useless as bombs; they're unstable. You never know when an explosive coconut will explode.

They might explode immediately after being picked, while held, before being thrown, sitting untouched, or even after twenty years of being used as a hammer without exploding, but exploding when pressed against a soft pillow.

The night was approaching.

Li Cunxu hurried to finish constructing the wooden house before dark.

In fact, more than the wooden house, Li Cunxu wanted to dig a tunnel and sleep in it.

But the show's producers foresaw this and didn't allow contestants to live underground to avoid the hundred-day challenge.

At night, the sea breeze blew and the waves surged.

Many poisonous sea urchins floated silently to the surface and began to move towards the beach.

The Mechanical Celestial Eye recorded the scene clearly in the bright moonlight.

"Oh no, danger is coming; Li Cunxu, wake up."

"I thought Li Cunxu was impressive before, but now I see he's just relying on his pet beast's strength. Building a house on the beach shows a lack of survival knowledge: never reside by the water."

"What's wrong with building a house on the beach?"

"As shown in the live video, sea creatures will attack. Li Cunxu has made a grave mistake and will pay the price."

Yawning, Li Cunxu pushed open the door.

"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Cunxu had anticipated a nocturnal assault by the poisonous sea urchins.

Living by the beach offered the convenience of escaping into the sea at any time, while also bearing the risk of an attack by sea creatures.

However, the risk was minimal.

The sea near the beach was the territory of a group of poisonous sea urchins.

Simply repelling the poisonous sea urchins a few times would convince them they couldn't defeat Li Cunxu, and they'd stop coming ashore.

To other sea creatures, poisonous sea urchins, with their spines and toxicity, were a troublesome foe, and other creatures wouldn't intrude into their territory without cause.

This meant that only poisonous sea urchins would invade this beach; no other sea creatures would land. Li Cunxu just needed to fend off the sea urchins a few times to permanently eliminate the risk of sea creature assaults.

Xiaoruan launched Red Lotus Fire Beads, blazing a fiery sea and instantly incinerating a swath of poisonous sea urchins.

The poisonous sea urchins were mostly bronze, with few silver, and the iron ones stayed at the seabed, not moving.

The sea urchins didn't give up their advance despite their comrades being burned to death.

Li Cunxu murmured, "They're not retreating or frightened; this must mean there's an organizer behind them. It should be the Poisonous Sea Urchin King, which is troublesome."

"The ability to command silver-level sea urchins suggests the Poisonous Sea Urchin King is likely a gold-level enemy," Li Cunxu speculated.

Nonetheless, Li Cunxu wasn't afraid; he believed the Poisonous Sea Urchin King shouldn't be too strong, and Xiaoruan could take it on.

If the Poisonous Sea Urchin King were powerful, it could have come alone to challenge Li Cunxu, rather than hiding among its sea urchin minions to command them.
