"Oh! That's not it!"

"Brother Li Heng, look, we found a strange thing in the sea, and we don't know what it is, so we wanted to bring it to you to have a look."

Lu Xiaoxiao waved her hand to interrupt Li Heng, then took out a transparent object from the beast-taming bag and held it in her hand.

"I want to see how strange it can be..."

Li Heng glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao indifferently, but was startled before he could finish his words.

"Oh my goodness, this is a jellyfish!"

Some people may feel unfamiliar with the word jellyfish, but it has another name - medusa.

Jellyfish are a subclass of jellyfish.

"So it's called a jellyfish! I thought it was a mushroom that grows in the water!"

Xiao Chi poked the outer surface of the jellyfish with his finger. It felt slippery, a bit like the pork skin jelly that Brother Li Heng had made before.

"Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like a mushroom."

"Hahaha~ This little thing is really fun! Brother Li Heng, do you want to try it?"

The two little ones treated the jellyfish as a toy, holding it in their arms and squeezing it constantly.

"Haha, no! You guys..."

Li Heng knew that the tentacles of jellyfish would secrete toxins. He wanted to remind the two little ones to be careful, but he felt that his worry was unnecessary.

Because the toxins can only enter the human body after the jellyfish stings the human body.

The two little ones have very thick skins, and a mere jellyfish can't break their defense at all, otherwise they would have been poisoned by now.

"I almost forgot to ask, can jellyfish be eaten?"

After playing for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and asked Li Hengdao.

"Of course it's possible."

Li Heng nodded in affirmation, saying that the water content of jellyfish is as high as over 90%, and he didn't know what it tastes like.

"Hey! As long as it's edible."

"By the way! Brother Li Heng, we have another thing to ask you!"

After Lu Xiaoxiao put away the jellyfish, he did not leave immediately.

"Anything else? Besides the jellyfish, do you have other rare things to show me?"

Li Heng was looking forward to what other surprises the two little ones could bring him.

"That's not the case. It's just that when the young lady and I were returning to the shore, we found an island in the distance. We are now preparing to go over and take a look. Do you want to join us?"

The little girl pointed to a spot on the sea. Li Heng looked in the direction she pointed and could only see a vague outline.

"Then go and see!"

As Li Heng was talking, he had already taken out a frying pan, stepped on it, and flew towards the distant island with the two little ones.

It wasn’t that far actually, only two or three miles. Li Heng and his companions reached their destination in just a few minutes.

The island is not very big. In order to overlook the entire picture of the island, Li Heng deliberately increased the flight altitude.

He estimated that it would only take four or five minutes to fly around the island.

The entire island is made up of a circular mountain, but the ring is not closed, but leaves a gap of three or four feet.

There is a sandy beach at the gap, and a natural lake has formed inside the mountain, which is also called a "lagoon".

The water in the lagoon is a light green color, which is in sharp contrast to the blue sea outside.

Li Heng drove the frying pan and landed on the edge of a high cliff.

"You two go look in the lagoon below. I'll look around here. Maybe I can find some edible wild fruit."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones nodded and separated from Li Heng. To them, wild fruits were far less delicious than fish.

After sending the two little ones away, Li Heng began to explore around.

There were lush trees on the top of the mountain, but he was disappointed because he did not find any edible fruit.

Just when Li Heng was about to give up the search and go down to reunite with the two little ones, he accidentally discovered a hidden cave on the cliff.

"How about we go in and take a look?"

Li Heng muttered to himself. He wanted to go in but was a little scared. Would something strange suddenly jump out of the cave?

"Fuck! I'm a monk now, how can I be a coward!"

In the end, curiosity overcame fear, and Li Heng, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, slowly approached the cave entrance.

The cave is not very deep, you can see the bottom at a glance, and there is a big hole above your head.

The cave was wet and there was nothing inside except protruding rocks.

"I thought I could find some secret book or treasure in the cave like in the novels!"

"It's so boring. There's not even a blade of grass growing in it."

After looking around, he really didn't find anything valuable. It seemed that this cave was destined to disappoint him.

"Wait! What is that?"

Li Heng was about to turn around and leave, but his attention was attracted by something attached to the rock wall.

"It looks a bit like a bird's nest."

I broke one off the rock wall and held it in my hand to examine it carefully.

Look at the shape, texture, and color...

"Haha, I remember, this is bird's nest!"

The moment the object in his hand matched the bird's nest in his memory, Li Heng excitedly slapped his thigh.

The so-called bird's nest is actually a nest built by the saliva secreted by swallows mixed with other substances.

Because it is difficult to pick, has limited yield, complicated processing, and high nutritional value, it is considered a relatively precious tonic.

"This trip was really worth it! I never thought that one day I would be able to eat bird's nest!"

After calming down a little, Li Heng began to pick bird's nests on the rock wall.

One, two,...

Unfortunately, the cave was too small. Li Heng searched it thoroughly but could not find ten.

"Forget it! Just a little less is fine! Anyway, this thing can't be eaten as a meal, so it tastes good."

Li Heng comforted himself as he retreated from the cave.

Then he stepped on the frying pan and landed on the beach he had seen earlier.

He didn't see the two little ones at the moment, and they were probably catching fish in the lake.

The water in the lake is very clear and you can see the fish swimming in it from a long distance.

However, what Li Heng was interested in was not them, but a tree growing next to the beach.

For it was not a different tree, but a fruit tree with fruit hanging from it, the thing he had been looking for.

At first Li Heng thought it was just a coconut tree, but when he looked closer he realized it was not.

Looking at the appearance of the fruit, it does look a bit like papaya, but it is much smaller. I guess it must be a wild papaya.

Li Heng reached out and picked a fruit, then broke it into two halves with a little force.

He carefully bit off a small piece and put it into his mouth, but spat it out the next moment.

"Pah! Even dogs won't eat this."

It was bitter, astringent, and hard. There was no papaya flavor at all.

I don’t know if it’s because the wild papaya is not ripe or if it’s just that unpalatable.

In fact, Li Heng didn’t know whether the dog would eat it or not. Now he wanted to know whether the deer and eagles would eat it or not.
