Chapter 973: Vicious Monsters of the Secondary Landmass (1/2)

Eight months had passed since Krune and the group had arrived at the Secondary Landmass. Until now, they had never tried to go down. Instead, they had been working nonstop to first ease up their livelihood. Since their tickets had been destroyed, they had to spend a lot of time in this place.

Thus, instead of hurrying to obtain Godly Points, they first created a foothold for themselves to have a healthy living. After that, they began to work towards the future of harvesting Godly Points en masse.

Solare was already walking around in his baby steps, so they had to create a fence in the cave to ensure he wouldn't fall to his death. Moreover, in this time, they had created a rope bridge that connected a couple of caves to the top of the rock pillar.

On top of that, they had also created a similar rope bridge to another rock pillar that was almost 80 meters away. This was the thickest rock pillar in their surroundings, boasting a diameter of almost 40 meters.

This was the place they used for almost everything, from leisure activities to training. They had also erected a fence around it so that Solare could play around in the open space. As a growing child, he needed all the space to grow up healthy.

They hadn't figured out how his two passive abilities worked. But since he wasn't even two years old yet, they weren't in a hurry.

The rope bridges were strong and sturdy, allowing them to walk on it without any worries. Not only that, but the Seamstress had figured out another breakthrough with it, layering the rope bridge with a porous pipe of coral through which the ocean water flowed.

This ocean water seeped into the rope bridge, healing any wear and tear it had developed due to use. As the rope was taken from a living organism, the Rope Bush, this was possible. It was because the healing property of the ocean water was also able to keep dead meat fresh indefinitely.

Using this property, they ensured the rope bridge wouldn't ever snap. Once it had been created, life was a lot easier for Krune and the Seamstress. They were able to transport goods from one cave to another without wasting any time.

Naturally, this increased their work efficiency tremendously. Plus, when they hunted fishes in the ocean above, they didn't have to throw most of them away due to being incapable of carrying their bodies in the previous precarious situation of having to traverse using a single rope.

The Paddle was already fully stocked up on food and water. The pool with the Mutated Motor Fishes was in great shape. Since they were being fed the bone tree fruits, they were brimming with power. On top of that, one of them even seemed pregnant.

It was a piece of joyous news as they would soon get more Motor Fishes. Krune also went around in search for bigger caves around the walls, marking some for future use. He had been working on numerous projects, increasing the Rope Bush farm to produce more thread. As for the wood, he was using them to create more tools and weapons.

He was also planning to create a path to the ground. For that, he was working on two routes. The first was to bore his way through the largest rock pillar and reach the ground. The second was creating a staircase that spiraled around the largest rock pillar and reached the ground.

The problem with the latter was the sheer requirement of materials and the risk involved in getting down each time. Though, it also allowed them an avenue to attack the flying creatures. As for the former path, it was discrete and allowed them to reach the ground without alerting any creature.

Then again, creating it was even harder. After all, Krune had to bore through the tough rock pillar for a kilometer before reaching the ground. It wasn't something that he was able to achieve easily. Krune worked on the digging, having created the tools necessary for that.

As for the Seamstress, she was working on making more rope bridges to expand their range. Moreover, she was also hunting fishes for their needs. Using her passive abilities, Coral Wave and Heat Radiance, she was building a house on the top of the largest rock pillar that would allow them to have a comfortable life.

Having lived in the place for eight months now, they noted that the ocean waters had two dominant currents. The first was a warm current that caused the water to become warm. The size of the fish roaming near them was smaller during this time.

And there were fewer predator fishes. In this time, the place turned warmer, causing them to sweat buckets when they worked.

The second was a cold current that was too cold to bear. It was similar to what Krune had encountered at the start when one of his clones was still alive. At present, thanks to his Cold Blood, Krune would be almost fine in the cold currents.
