After their initial conversation concluded…
[Remember this site’s domain name.
It’s super relaxing to read Taiwan novels in your spare time.] Gale suddenly noticed that the Giant Turtle’s eyes were constantly darting toward the Giant Groupers and Tuna he had hunted earlier.
Several times, it even secretly swallowed its saliva.
“Gurgle—!” At that moment, the Giant Turtle’s stomach let out a sudden growl of hunger.
“Ang.” You haven’t eaten?
Hearing the sound, Gale couldn’t help but ask.
He was suspicious; the Giant Turtle’s gaze looked as if it hadn’t eaten for a very long time.
“Ang.” The Giant Turtle didn’t hide it and told Gale about its situation.
It wasn’t just that it hadn’t eaten; it had practically been starving for a long time.
Through the Giant Turtle’s narration, Gale quickly understood its circumstances.
The Giant Turtle was a massive beast, and it went without saying that its appetite was enormous.
However, the Giant Turtle happened to have short limbs and moved slowly.
Whether on land or in the sea, its speed was at the bottom of the rankings.
Coupled with the fact that it lacked any special hunting methods…
This made it very difficult for the Giant Turtle to catch food, resulting in a lifestyle of frequent hunger punctuated by the occasional meal.
To cope, the Giant Turtle had come up with the idea of using sleep to mitigate its hunger.
To reduce the sensation of hunger, the Giant Turtle often used sleep to lower its energy consumption.
Because of this, vegetation had even grown on its back; sometimes, it would sleep for over half a year, its body merging with the earth.
After listening to the Giant Turtle’s story, Gale couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for it.
This was just too miserable.
As expected, everything has its Yin and Yang—strengths are inevitably accompanied by weaknesses.
While the Giant Turtle relied on its shell for a defense that was nearly invincible among giant beasts, leaving even the Skullcrawlers helpless, its speed was a major shortcoming.
But then, Gale’s eyes suddenly darted around as a thought occurred to him.
Since the Giant Turtle had difficulty hunting and had a docile personality that seemed easy to win over…
Could he use this to recruit the Giant Turtle as his little brother?
Although the Giant Turtle’s combat power didn’t seem particularly outstanding and it had the obvious flaw of being slow…
Its sheer mass was undeniable.
If he could recruit it, it would definitely be a huge asset to the current Gale.
Thinking of this, Gale immediately used his tail to push the Giant Groupers, Tuna, and other prey he had hunted toward the Giant Turtle.
“Ang—” We can be considered fated, and thank you for showing me the way last time.
Since you’re hungry, I’ll treat you to fish today.
“Ang!” Really?!
A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared in the Giant Turtle’s eyes.
“Ang.” Eat up, don’t be polite.
Gale replied again.
Having received Gale’s affirmative answer, the Giant Turtle didn’t stand on ceremony anymore.
It opened its mouth and began to eat greedily.
Gale had hunted quite a lot of prey, all of which were big catches weighing over a hundred kilograms, totaling more than twenty fish.
However, the Giant Turtle was clearly starving; it devoured all twenty-plus big fish in a single sitting, leaving nothing behind.
After finishing, a look of satisfaction appeared in the Giant Turtle’s eyes.
It hadn’t had such a full meal in a very long time.
The feeling of being full was simply too comfortable.
The Giant Turtle couldn’t help but think enraptured, but at the same time, it felt a bit of regret.
It could only eat its fill for this one meal.
If only Gale could treat it like this for every meal in the future.
“Ang.” Thank you.
After a wonderful and hearty meal, the Giant Turtle thanked Gale again.
It’s quite polite.
“Ang.” You’re welcome.
Gale responded, then added: Since you have trouble hunting, why don’t you stay with me from now on?
That way, when it’s time to hunt, we go together and I can help you.
Moreover, if there’s any danger, the two of us can look out for each other.
This island is large enough for both of us to live on.
Hearing this, the Giant Turtle’s eyes lit up.
It felt that Gale’s words made a lot of sense, and for it, this was simply perfect.
With Gale’s help in hunting, it wouldn’t have to go hungry as often as before.
And just as Gale said, if they were together, they could look out for each other in case of danger.
“Ang.” Okay!
The Giant Turtle immediately responded, agreeing without the slightest hesitation, feeling very happy in its heart.
Gale was also very happy to hear the Giant Turtle agree.
With the giant beast that was the Giant Turtle by his side, it undoubtedly meant having a powerful ally.
It was a huge boost to his own safety, combat power, and various other aspects.
As for the issue of the Giant Turtle’s food, it wasn’t a problem at all for Gale.
He just needed to hunt a bit more each time and share it with the Giant Turtle.
Furthermore, the sea area around Skull Island was vast and rich in resources.
It was more than enough to support both Gale and the Giant Turtle.
In the following time, the Giant Turtle began living with Gale on Flood Dragon Island.
When Gale went out to hunt, the Giant Turtle followed along.
Gale would hunt in front, and the Giant Turtle would follow behind to pick up the prey.
Once they had enough, the two would return to Flood Dragon Island to eat and digest.
As time passed, their relationship became more and more harmonious.
The Giant Turtle truly came to see Gale as its leader and core, doing whatever Gale said.
In this manner, another thirty-plus days passed.
By this time, Gale’s evolution progress had finally increased again, reaching 27%.
His body size had also grown, with his length reaching 37 meters.
“It’s time to explore the other three sea areas.” At this point, Gale made up his mind.
It was time to explore the three sea areas surrounding Skull Island in the other three directions.
Now that he had his little brother, the Giant Turtle, Gale believed that with his current strength plus the Giant Turtle, they would be able to handle any danger.
“Splash—” “Splash—” A few days later.
In the sea area to the south of Skull Island.
Two massive figures, a Flood Dragon and a turtle, swam through the seawater; they were Gale and the Giant Turtle.
The area where Flood Dragon Island was located was the sea area to the east of Skull Island.
Previously, Gale’s hunting had always been in that eastern sea area near Flood Dragon Island.
But deep down, Gale had long intended to survey all the sea areas around Skull Island.
Now that he had the Giant Turtle as a great helper…
Gale simply put his thoughts into action.
Starting with the southern sea area of Skull Island, he would then explore the western sea area, followed by the northern sea area.
One full circle would be enough to finish exploring all the waters surrounding Skull Island.
Gale spent about half a month exploring the southern sea area with the Giant Turtle.
There were no giant beasts in this area; the large predators were just a pack of Great White Sharks.
After finishing the exploration of the southern sea area, Gale brought the Giant Turtle to the western sea area of Skull Island.
