267 – A Villain’s Survival on an Uninhabited Island (4)
Rex was running through the forest.
It was a small forest. The trees, unlike the floating island or the Tongdan continent, were running calmly because they could not overcome the weight and momentum of Rex, who was running over the trees at a terrifying speed, and broke frequently.
Time has passed since the typhoon hit the island, and the animals of the island are living their lives again.
Perhaps because of the disconnected ecology of the island, the creatures living on this island were able to see unique features that could not be found elsewhere.
For example, a huge bird running across the land. Although it was a bird with a beak in its mouth and wings, it did not fly in the sky but ran wildly on its two powerful legs.
The neck is also strangely elongated, and the pupils are terrifyingly large to the point of worrying that they may come out of the skull.
Today Rex was planning to catch and eat that unknown bird. Chester, too, thought it would be better to catch that gigantic bird, given Rex’s food intake.
However, because the speed of the bird is too fast, I gave up on catching it by hunting and tried to trap it.
I wanted to catch it with a trap, but since I don’t know when the bird will be caught in the trap, I decided to wait patiently…….
‘I want to eat now!’
Rex couldn’t wait to eat the birds. After lunch, he completed his new home, took a leisurely nap, and escaped from his resting family to hunt birds.
The birds were huddled together in a wide clearing in the forest, chewing on the water near the river.
Some birds drink water, others gulp pebbles in the riverbed.
“It eats stones. A bird is a bird.”
I learned from Chester that birds don’t have teeth, so they eat small pebbles or sand to digest tough and hard food.
‘I want to keep the shape as much as possible, so I cut my hair in one shot… ….’
Rex grabbed the mace in his hand like throwing a stone and threw it at the bird.
The mace flew at terrifying speed and shattered the bird’s head. Suddenly, the family’s head was smashed, and the frightened birds began to scream.
“Oh, don’t run away!”
Birds screaming and starting to run all over the place. Rex hurriedly picked up a wooden spear and threw it, picked up a nearby stone and threw it, catching the bird.
In the end, when the commotion was over, they were able to return home with three dead birds in their hands.
The Chester family settled down near a shipwreck, adjacent to forests and beaches.
You can look at the sea, you can stand out from others thanks to shipwrecks, and the river is located nearby.
It was easy to get logs, and thanks to Rex’s strength, he could easily carry out difficult constructions, so he was able to build a house quickly. It was easy to dig deep into the ground and drive the poles firmly, and it was easy to drag a lot of logs and tie them to the poles to build the walls and put the roof on.
Perhaps just woke up from a nap, I saw Senna looking at the sea.
“Senna!”
“Rex. Where have you been?”
She woke up and noticed that Rex wasn’t there, but she knew that nothing would happen to Rex on this island, so she didn’t worry.
In the past, when Rex climbed up a tree accidentally slipped and rolled, I was shocked and worried as if my heart would fall, but after realizing that Rex, who fell from a high tree, was intact and unbruised, I realized his strength and ever since. No matter how reckless Rex did, he stopped worrying.
“Is that the big bird you found earlier? I don’t know if it’s fair to say that something that can’t fly is a bird…….”
“Yes! I caught it because I wanted to eat it. When everyone wakes up, let’s have dinner!”
That evening, after searching shipwrecks and forests for supplies, the Chester family talked about the day’s harvest.
“I found a telescope. Looking at it, the lens is not cracked, and I think it can be used.”
“Wow! Senna is very lucky. Didn’t you find something good last time?”
“The last thing I found was first aid kits prepared on board. A bandage and some simple medicine.”
Chester admired the unbroken telescope. According to Sena, it seems that she is not damaged thanks to her protection while wrapped in a blanket on the bed.
Telescope. Nice quilt. And precious metals of unknown use. This was Sena’s harvest today.
“Are these earrings? Monia, would you like to have it? I think you’re more familiar with Monia than me.”
“I have a hole in my ear… It’s a bit hard to pierce again. It hurts.”
“When we get to the land later, let’s sell it and turn it into money. Since it is a precious metal, it will be sold at a high price anywhere.”
Chester’s Harvest is a broken wooden barrel and some dried fruit in it. Next, a bottle of rum.
“Alcohol!”
“It’s alcohol!”
Senna and Monia are crazy about the rum Chester found. I heard the taste of rum while stealing and drinking while stowing away on a ship.
“I want to drink wine.”
Of course, Monia, who didn’t like the harsh taste of rum, softly said that.
Monia liked delicate and soft alcohol more than harsh and stimulating alcohol. At least, the reason I like rum right now is because I regret every drop of alcohol, so I drink it because I like it.
Next, Monia found some finely finished animal skins that she seemed to have transported from the Tongdan continent. It’s a leather that shows the shape of an animal in its lifetime, but I’m thinking of turning it into clothes that I can simply sew and tie to wear.
“The clothes I bought now are strong, so I can wear them for a long time, but I don’t know when they will break, so I have to prepare the materials to make them. Wouldn’t this be better than making clothes out of leaves?”
“Even if you don’t change it into clothes, you can sell these leathers at a high price later.”
Money is necessary to live in this world. When I was rescued by a boat from this island, I would go to an unknown continent, so it was important to pack things that could be exchanged for money anywhere.
“What did Rex and Ant find?”
When Monia asked that, Ant walked out with a majestic face and spat out the object she was holding in her mouth.
“Huh?”
“This.”
What Ant found was a black ring.
As soon as she saw that, Monia jumped up and went into the house.
“Ant, where did you find this?”
As Monia asked, she held her ring in her hand and put it on her starlight, then pointed her ring at a nearby tree and tried to use it.
Puck!
Then she shot a wind-made arrow from the star, and she knocked on a nearby tree.
It wasn’t as powerful as when all three rings were normal, but at least it was better than when none of the rings were at all useless as a weapon.
Chester peeled off the bark of the broken tree with a knife, looked under it, and nodded.
“The power seems to be stronger than the punches of an adult man. I think it needs one more ring to properly produce the power of an arrow.”
“But isn’t that enough useful?”
“Yes. If you can shoot an invisible fist from a distance and hit it unilaterally, that alone is strong enough.”
It cannot be used for hunting. However, it was enough to be used as a tool for self-defense.
“Good work, Ant! You did really well!”
“Long live Ant!”
“Take care of me tomorrow as well.”
After the Chester family rinsed Ant, they looked at the items Rex had found.
Thanks to his powers, Rex can go into the wreckage of a shipwreck and retrieve items that others cannot easily access, so he has brought quite a few items.
And today, what Rex brought was more unusual than the giant birds he had been hunting.
“Is this a person?”
“A corpse?”
“No! Alive!”
“Really? In this state?”
“…… Great.”
An item Rex found.
It was the survivors of the shipwreck.

Although Tiara barely survived and defeated the cold, her body was reaching its limit as more of her stamina was taken away during the time she endured without being able to do anything while fighting the cold.
Luckily, he found water pooled on a rock near the seashore, and thanks to the clean water that had accumulated on the day of a typhoon, he was able to drink and survive, but the energy that can be obtained with just one water is limited.
I didn’t have the strength to lift a finger, I didn’t even have the strength to stay sane.
Whether your eyes are open or closed, whether it is day or night, how much time has passed here.
It was full of unknown things.
Tiara was just lying down. That was all she could do. Just lying down, she was slowly dying.
Then one day, she caught something black in her field of vision.
At first, she thought it was human, but because of her enormous size and hair all over her body, she thought it was a hallucination created by her own mind and cut off her interest.
But, surprisingly, the hallucination grabbed the tiara and started dragging it somewhere.
