"I agree to expand the island. I'm in charge of security, and I can't just idle around!" Jiang Yuntian agreed.
Since Jiang Yuntian, who was in charge of security, didn't object, no one else had any objections.
After all, the larger the island is, the higher its evolution level is, and the more obvious their advantages will be!
Everyone agreed, and Xiao Yi directly used forty-two cornerstones to expand the island.
Now, Xiao Yi's island has reached an area of 2,466 square meters, and there are still ten cornerstones reserved.
After the expansion, Xiao Yi took out a tablet computer from the bedroom.
"This is a miniature radar receiver. The radar is set on the top of the back mountain, with a detection radius of thirty-two li! The receiver can receive signals within a five-li range of the radar." Xiao Yi handed it to Jiang Yuntian and explained.
Jiang Yuntian widened his eyes in surprise. With this thing, he no longer had to worry about others quietly landing on the island without his knowledge!
"Where did you get such an advanced thing?" Yuan Nong couldn't help asking.
The positioning device, radar, yacht, and fully automatic fishing net—none of these things had been obtained from supply boxes!
Xiao Yi smiled mysteriously, "That's a secret!"
Yuan Nong waved his hand and said, "I'm not forcing you to answer. I just couldn't hold back from asking!"
The others nodded. They were also itching with curiosity!
"Alright, everyone has been working hard today. Let's watch a movie to relax!" Xiao Yi pointed at the TV and said.
"There are movies too?" Everyone was even more surprised.
"Old movies stored in the TV. They can help pass the time and are worth watching!" Xiao Yi said, "You watch. I'll keep an eye on the island monument."
After saying that, Xiao Yi walked into the bedroom.
An Ran thought for a while, glanced at Su Wan, and seeing her shake her head, she got up and followed.
"Xiao Yi, I'll keep you company while you watch." An Ran sat beside Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Tomorrow, put some sea fish and clean water on the affiliated island monument you operate. We need to keep collecting basic supplies."
Checking the trading hall, most of the sea fish and clean water had been consumed, so Xiao Yi replenished some.
Then he switched to the public channel.
"It's really cold today!"
"Yeah, it feels like the sea is about to freeze!"
"You're thinking too much. It needs to be extremely cold for the sea to freeze, and it's still early for that!"
"It's not far off. It's calm where I am, but I just saw a thin layer of ice on the sea surface!"
"Is that true? I didn't see it here."
"What would I gain by lying to you? Will you give me something to eat or drink?"
"Xiao Yi, do you think the sea will really freeze?" An Ran couldn't help asking as she saw everyone discussing.
Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but based on the extremely hot weather last week, it's possible that the sea will freeze."
"That would be so cold!" An Ran covered her mouth and said.
"I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time." Xiao Yi replied helplessly.
Asking about An Ran's mother's name and posting a missing person notice on the public channel, Xiao Yi went out.
"An Ran and Su Wan, you two sleep in the bedroom. The others sleep in the living room. Junjun, do you want to sleep with the two aunts?" Xiao Yi asked.
Junjun immediately shook his head, "I'm a man. I'll sleep in the living room too!"
Looking like a little adult, he made everyone laugh again.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, Yuan Nong woke up first, and Jiang Yuntian and Xiao Yi woke up one after another upon hearing the noise.
Yuan Nong said softly, "I'm old and wake up early. You guys can rest a bit longer!"
Before Xiao Yi and Jiang Yuntian could respond, Wang Cai's urgent barking came from outside.
Xiao Yi immediately got up, grabbed the long knife beside him, and rushed out.
Jiang Yuntian followed closely behind!
When they reached where Wang Cai was, they saw Wang Cai barking furiously at a white-fronted tiger with bulging eyes!
"Roar!"
When the tiger saw Xiao Yi and the others coming, it let out a low growl!
"Did this evolve in the forest on the island?" Jiang Yuntian asked in surprise. Xiao Yi nodded. Through the system, he knew the tiger's level.
"Northeast Tiger (Level B): A carnivorous feline, fierce and swift. This animal is extremely dangerous!"
Previously, when they encountered a small octopus of the same Level B, the system didn't prompt it as extremely dangerous, only reminding Xiao Yi to be careful.
This time, the prompt was different. After a little thought, Xiao Yi understood that different species couldn't be compared like this.
Just like an ordinary small wooden boat and a small sailboat, the small sailboat is superior.
Even though they are both at Level B, the tiger can probably easily defeat any other Level B land animal.
Even an A-level rabbit would hardly escape when encountering a B-level Northeast tiger!
"Be careful. This is a Northeast tiger of rank B. Don't underestimate it!" Xiao Yi said in a low voice, his voice filled with a sense of solemnity.
Jiang Yuntian was shocked at the high rank of the tiger and even more surprised that Xiao Yi could recognize the tiger's level! With a solemn expression, he nodded and drew his Level B weapon, unsheathing his long sword.
"Let's fight side by side!" Xiao Yi said sharply, and his figure moved like the wind, rushing towards the tiger!
Jiang Yuntian found that he couldn't catch up with Xiao Yi's speed and was secretly shocked.
Xiao Yi swung his sword at the tiger's body. The tiger dodged sideways, but unexpectedly, Wang Cai pounced from the side! The cooperation between the man and the dog was seamless.
The tiger swept its claws, and Wang Cai twisted its body and skillfully avoided the attack. However, the combined attack of Xiao Yi and Wang Cai was also defused by the tiger's claws.
Xiao Yi was surprised to find that the tiger's agility was on par with his. This was the first time he had encountered such an opponent!
The tiger's body evaded Xiao Yi's attack and directly pounced on Jiang Yuntian. Apparently, it had targeted Jiang Yuntian as the weaker one and intended to deal with him first!
Jiang Yuntian snorted coldly, faced the tiger's pounce, slightly bent down, and pointed his sword at the tiger's abdomen!
The tiger rolled in the air to avoid Jiang Yuntian's sword, and at the same time, it waved its claws, leaving bloodstains all over Jiang Yuntian's left arm!
"Hmph!" Jiang Yuntian grunted and retreated to the side, his eyes fixed on the tiger's movements.
"Xiao Yi, it's mainly targeting me. I'll hold it back, and you find a chance to kill it!" Jiang Yuntian whispered.
"Okay. Take care!" Xiao Yi replied without hesitation. He knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment. He had no certainty of winning in a one-on-one fight with the tiger. The only way was to follow the plan, with Jiang Yuntian distracting the tiger and him looking for an opportunity to strike!
Jiang Yuntian rushed towards the tiger. The tiger was momentarily stunned. How dare a human challenge the king of the forest?
The majesty of the king could not be challenged! The tiger roared and charged forward.
Jiang Yuntian didn't dodge and prepared to withstand the tiger's pounce! The tiger's strength was enormous, and it instantly pressed him to the ground, its claws digging deep into his shoulder flesh.
At this moment, Wang Cai and Xiao Yi took action simultaneously. Wang Cai pounced on the right side of the tiger's abdomen, but unexpectedly, the tiger's tail whipped over like a whip.
"Bang!"
Wang Cai was sent flying and rolled several times, with gravel scratching a large area of its skin!
Taking advantage of the tiger's distraction, Jiang Yuntian tried his best to swing his sword at the tiger's right front paw!
"Hiss!"
The Level B long sword was extremely sharp and cut open the tiger's paw, revealing the bone!
"Roar!"
The intense pain made the tiger furious, and it roared again, opening its mouth to bite Jiang Yuntian.
"Puff!"
Blood spurted out, and Jiang Yuntian's face was covered in blood. "It stinks so much!" he pushed the tiger away and complained.
At this time, Yuan Nong and the others dared to approach. Seeing that Xiao Yi and Jiang Yuntian had actually killed the tiger, they all widened their eyes. The tiger was the king of beasts, and the story of Wu Song killing a tiger only existed in legends.
"It seems that my physical strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Level B tiger." Xiao Yi thought to himself.
If it weren't for Jiang Yuntian's sacrifice to hold the tiger back and Wang Cai's disruption, he wouldn't have been able to win so easily.
"Brother Jiang, how are you?" Xiao Yi helped him up and asked.
Jiang Yuntian checked his arm wound and replied, "It's okay. It's just a flesh wound and it doesn't matter!"
"Okay. Treat it with S-level purified water!" Xiao Yi instructed.
"Okay!" Jiang Yuntian responded.
"Wang Cai, how about you?" Xiao Yi crouched down, rubbed Wang Cai's head, and asked.
"Woof! Woof!" Wang Cai wagged its tail happily.
"It seems you're fine. Su Wan, help Wang Cai treat its wound and feed it some S-level purified water!" Xiao Yi ordered.
Su Wan took the order and went to do it.
Xiao Yi stood up and said to An Ran and the others, "An Ran, you deal with this. Be careful not to damage the fur. There's a leather-making machine in the workshop. This way, we'll have an extra warm tiger-skin coat."
"Okay!" An Ran responded, and everyone worked together to drag the tiger back.
