One month later.
Read Taiwan novels on Chaozan.
On the sea surface not far from Flood Dragon Island, a school of great white sharks fled rapidly, as if escaping an extremely terrifying predator.
Behind the fleeing sharks, a massive shadow resembling a deep-sea flood dragon could be clearly seen beneath the sunlight-dappled surface, chasing them at high speed and closing the distance.
The moment the shadow caught up, its massive body suddenly whipped its tail toward the school of sharks.
“Boom!” The entire sea surface seemed to explode in an instant, with billowing waves surging tens of meters high.
Following the massive waves, eight great white sharks floated to the surface with their bellies turned up.
Then, the massive figure burst out of the water, revealing a huge dragon head and a flood dragon’s body.
It was none other than Gale.
Since settling on the island a month ago, Gale had been hunting in the sea every day, feeding on large sharks, sea fish, sea snakes, moray eels, and other creatures.
Anything weighing over a hundred kilograms was a target for Gale.
“This is enough for a meal or two.” Looking at the eight great white sharks floating on the surface, Gale nodded with satisfaction.
The smallest of these sharks was three meters long, while the largest reached six meters.
Together, these eight sharks were enough for Gale to have two full meals.
Gale then brought the shark carcasses back to his cave on the island.
He then began to consume and devour them.
[Ding!
You have devoured and digested great white sharks, gaining a 1% increase in evolution progress.
Current evolution progress: 26%.] After consuming all eight sharks, Gale’s evolution progress increased by 1%.
His body length also grew by another meter, reaching 36 meters.
“It finally increased.” Looking at the 1% increase, Gale felt a sense of relief.
For the past month, his evolution progress had remained stagnant at 25%.
It wasn’t until today that it finally went up by 1%.
It took a whole month for Gale’s evolution progress to increase by just one percent.
It wasn’t that Gale hadn’t caught any food during this time; in fact, the food resources in the sea were even more abundant than on the shores of Skull Island.
All kinds of sharks and fish weighing over a hundred kilograms were everywhere.
On average, Gale probably consumed at least a thousand kilograms of food every day.
Yet, the evolution progress was slow.
It took a full month to gain just 1%.
“It seems that if I want to quickly increase my evolution progress and strength, I’ll have to hunt and devour other Giant Beasts.” Gale sighed inwardly.
He knew the main reason for the slowdown was that he had already become a Giant Beast, a higher life level.
At his current Giant Beast life level and size, devouring ordinary life forms below that level provided very little evolution progress, or rather, the energy they provided was insignificant compared to what he needed now.
To continue increasing his evolution progress quickly, he would have to hunt and devour other Giant Beasts of the same life level or even higher-level creatures.
But hunting Giant Beasts of the same level was no easy task.
At his current strength, Gale wasn’t confident he could hunt other Giant Beasts without risk.
“Forget it, I should play it safe for now.” After some thought, Gale decided it was better to continue developing steadily.
With his Golden Finger, his strength was destined to improve steadily; it would just take more time.
He wasn’t short on time, so there was no need to take risks.
Gale felt that hunting other Giant Beasts would only be safe once his strength was comparable to King Kong’s.
For now, it was better to keep developing steadily, as he faced no threats at sea.
Thus, Gale continued to hunt and develop steadily in the waters around the island.
He had basically mapped out the waters within dozens of miles of Flood Dragon Island.
Except for the areas around Skull Island in the other three directions and the waters covered by the Thundercloud Storm, the rest had become his hunting grounds.
Gale planned to start exploring the other three directions around Skull Island after some time.
His ultimate goal was to explore the entire sea area covered by the Thundercloud Storm around Skull Island and claim it as his territory.
In short.
From now on, Gale would have the final say in the waters around Skull Island.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
One morning.
Gale had just returned to the beach of Flood Dragon Island with his prey after hunting in the sea.
Just then, a massive black object appeared on the sea surface from the direction of Skull Island, slowly floating toward Flood Dragon Island.
Gale noticed it immediately and raised his dragon head to look out at the sea.
He soon saw the massive creature clearly.
It was a Giant Turtle, the same one Gale had encountered before on Skull Island.
A vast amount of vegetation grew on its back, making it look like a small moving island from a distance.
Gale felt relieved once he recognized the Giant Turtle.
Although they had only met once, Gale could tell that despite its size, the turtle was gentle and not aggressive.
But wasn’t this Giant Turtle supposed to be on Skull Island?
Why was it suddenly in the sea, and why did it seem to be heading straight for Flood Dragon Island?
Soon, the Giant Turtle reached the waters just off the beach of Flood Dragon Island.
“Ang.” Gale immediately let out a cry to greet the Giant Turtle.
“Ang.” The Giant Turtle also noticed Gale and responded to his call.
It looked at Gale’s size with some confusion.
When it first saw him, he was significantly smaller.
How could he have grown so much in just over a month?
“Ang.” The Giant Turtle asked Gale, “How did you grow so much?” “Ang.” “I eat a lot, so I grow fast.” Gale called back.
Although they didn’t speak the same language, they could sense each other’s true thoughts through the sounds they made.
Eating a lot makes you grow that fast?
The Giant Turtle expressed doubt at Gale’s words.
Gale didn’t feel like explaining further and asked instead.
“What brings you here?” “Ang.” “Ang.” “I just come by for a stroll every now and then.” The Giant Turtle replied.
Thus, the dragon and the turtle conversed back and forth on the beach.
Through their conversation, Gale learned that the Giant Turtle didn’t spend all its time on Skull Island.
Occasionally, after a long sleep, it would come out for a swim in the sea.
Gale then asked if it had encountered Skullcrawlers on Skull Island and if it could defeat them.
The Giant Turtle told him that it had once encountered three Skullcrawlers that tried to eat it.
However, once it retracted into its shell, the three large lizards bit it for a long time without breaking the shell, after which they never attacked it again.
Gale could only feel envious.
This defense was invincible.
