Chapter 228 Potential Dangers
Chapter 228 Potential Dangers
Led by the buffed turtle these past few days, Yufei has avoided her competitors during her explorations and discovered quite a few good things.
For example, there was a small patch of wild sweet potatoes, some scattered sugarcane, and soy sauce fruit, which is what people in this world call spoiled fruit, and even salted fruit was discovered.
The plant that bears salt fruit is extremely domineering; basically, apart from the salt fruit tree, no other plants can grow around it.
Yufei found some footprints in the salt berry forest, indicating that other people besides her had also been to this area.
They very aggressively picked two-thirds of the salted fruit here; thankfully, they left some for her, as there probably wasn't enough space to store them all.
Otherwise, Yufei felt that they definitely wouldn't be so kind as to leave her some, since salt is such an important ingredient.
It replenishes the body's needs! However, salted fruit isn't actually that useful on this deserted island, since it's surrounded by sea.
Even without salted fruit, you can boil seawater to replenish the salt, but the salt won't taste as good as salted fruit.
The salt in the salted fruit is fine and has no other off-putting smell; each salted fruit even has a different fruity aroma, making it very fragrant.
If it were on Earth, it would definitely be the Rolls Royce of salt, making food taste even better.
Yufei unceremoniously packed up all the remaining salted fruits and took them back to her camp.
Her current encampment is well-stocked and managed exceptionally well by Yufei, providing excellent logistical support for her upcoming battles.
Furthermore, in the past few days, as time has passed, the island, which had become bright and clear due to the fire-type summoner, has gradually been shrouded in a dense gloom once again.
Yufei sensed the humidity in the air, and before the island was shrouded in thick fog, she observed the clouds in the sky.
Something's not right. Most importantly, Little Black has been a bit restless lately. It doesn't know why, it just feels uneasy.
I have a feeling something bad is about to happen.

"Director Govit, I've taken a look at the cloud map transmitted back by the satellite, and something seems off."
A slender, handsome young man wearing glasses and a white lab coat frowned and spoke to a middle-aged man next to him, also wearing a white lab coat and with a full beard.
Meanwhile, his hands kept pressing the keys on the keyboard, as if he was constantly calculating something.
Quickly! The results appeared on the handsome young man's computer, and the man's face darkened even further upon seeing them.
"Chief, the results are in! Just as I predicted, a hurricane of about level 12 is forming near the island group where the competition is taking place. It is expected to mature into a full-blown hurricane in about a day and will move towards Mist Turtle Island in the island group at a speed of over 120 km/h."
It is estimated that we will arrive at the island in about 3 or 4 days!
"Understood! Continue to monitor the situation of this hurricane and report back to me as soon as possible."
After giving the handsome young man some instructions, Director Govit dialed the phone number of the Pet Battle Competition Alliance.
He quickly and concisely reported the situation the young man had just explained to him to the organization.
"That's the situation. I immediately contacted authorities to suspend the match and organize the evacuation of personnel from the area. A category 12 typhoon is not to be underestimated."
"Director Govit, we are aware of the situation you described. After discussions with the joint board, we have made the necessary arrangements. We will assign personnel to protect the participants from the island. Thank you for your trouble."
Director Govet frowned upon hearing the reply.
"What do you mean? Are you implying that the joint board doesn't intend to let them leave?!" Director Govit's voice rose higher and higher, filled with disbelief.
"I'm sorry!" The other person seemed to acknowledge Director Govit's words, their tone full of apology.
"Nonsense! You're disregarding human life!"
“Govette! This is Big Or.” The person on the other end of the phone seemed different; an aged voice came through the receiver.
"This decision was made by a few old guys after much consideration. You know, in that world, this kind of weather is very common, and it can even be considered relatively mild."
"That's true, but Elder Ge, they're still young and haven't experienced anything like that before. Isn't it too fast for you to suddenly put them through this?!"
"No, this time it's also to make them understand that the world isn't as simple as they imagined. They not only have to fight against the plants and animals there, but also against the weather."
This was also our initial purpose in choosing this deserted island: to prepare for the next international competition to be held in the cloud.
This hurricane was actually a pleasant surprise for us; we've already invited the Fenggang team to the venue.
Be prepared to rescue those little ones if they can't handle it; it's time to send a shockwave to the world!
Upon hearing Elder Big's words, Govit was so shocked that she was speechless.
Are we going to compete in international tournaments next season? And what's more, Grunt just leaked the questions to him like that?! Isn't that a bit much?
Govet thought about it a lot, and then felt somewhat relieved. Since Old Man Govet had said that to him, it meant that this matter was no longer a secret.
It wouldn't hurt to let him know. While Govet, a player for next season, felt a little sympathetic towards them, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Has the situation in the outside world gotten so bad that they can no longer even spare the time to provide a beginner's protection period for those little ones?!
Regardless of what Govit thought, this wouldn't affect the continuation of the competition. Yufei from Turtle Shell Island—or rather, Mist Turtle Island—and the other participating contestants were completely unaware of this.
However, the main summoned beasts of several players have been visibly restless lately, giving the impression of impending storm.
Yufei vaguely guessed what was going on. She looked at the misty sky worriedly from time to time, wondering if someone would come to take them back.
Surely they wouldn't let them compete here in this situation, would they?! That's what Yufei thought, but it can only be said that Yufei was too naive.
On the other side, as the fog rolled in, Fu Hong and Ga'er knew their chance had come again.
They searched for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack while simultaneously anticipating their next encounter.
Even under these circumstances, if they were to fight other summoners individually, they wouldn't be able to easily handle their desperate counterattacks.
Now they are like demons hidden in the thick fog, waiting for their chance.
Finally, on the second day after the dense fog formed, and the second day before the hurricane was approaching, Fu Hong and Ga'er met.
They rubbed their hands together, searching for a lone prey, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
As a result, the elimination of the fire-type summoner on the first day alerted the other summoners.
When the thick fog rolled in again, they no longer fought alone, but instead put aside their prejudices and cooperated in groups of two or three.
Try to deal with Fu Hong and Ga Er, who are hiding in the thick fog, before engaging in fair competition.
