A beholder was classified as a high-level abyss creature. This kind of monster was created from powerful magic. Allegedly one of the most terrifying kinds.

"A beholder? Really? Are you sure? What the hell is a beholder doing down there?"

A series of questions were asked by Silva, as she could not believe what Annara just said.

Emery, on the other hand, had a different way of thinking. The moment Annara fainted, he quickly checked her condition and realized p her abrupt paralysis was not a deception.

Silva must have realized that as well. She knew Annara was actually being attacked, but the girl was just unable to accept this situation.

"Alright, can you at least tell if it's a mature one?" She inquired.

Before answering her question, Annara smirked and tried her best to stand up, then she replied,

"I am sorry my lady, I was too busy getting attacked but yes, I am guessing it's a mature one. Can't you see it is able to affect me even if it's 50 miles away?"

The fact spilled by Annara just now successfully made Silva become irritated once again.

With a beholder guarding the gate, they had almost no chance to use the gate. This quickly made Silva vent her anger on the rocks at the seashore.

On the other side, Emery decided to wander around to check the perimeters. It was important for him to analyze the environment they were in.

The jungle was densely forested with a lot of giant trees, where the diameter of each tree was large enough he could not wrap his arms around it.

With his 50 miles spirit reading skill, Emery could sense anything that was moving on a large part of the island. He tried to stay away from the one that radiated high energy signatures and started to move around the island using his spatial gate as a tactic to survive in this strange and dangerous place.

The island was about 500 miles in diameter. It was as big as The Great Britain and, as he expected, in an outlandish place like this, there would always be life-threatening beings. Not long after that, he was able to sense at least a few dozen creatures that could threaten him and the others.

Fortunately, the island seemed to have natural resources that could be used to survive here. He didn't take long to discover a water spring that could be used to collect some freshwater. He also started checking on the plants, as if he was on a mission to find any edible foodstuffs.

With this skill, he luckily managed to find a few fruits that were edible. Without wasting any time, he immediately began to harvest them. After he had collected enough food supplies, he brought them back to the girls.

To his surprise, the two girls were already fighting again when he returned. He had only been gone for 30 minutes, yet it seemed like it was not short enough to keep them together without any fights, while Emery's gone.

Emery shook his head and decided to ignore them when he witnessed the situation. He believed he was wise enough not to get involved in girls' fights.

No, no, no.

He put all the food and water he had just collected. This time he took out his shirt and dove into the water.

Emery could swim like a fish, thanks to his water breathing spell and water element mastery. He went down to check what was beneath the surface of the water. To his surprise, he discovered more high-level creatures in the water than in the forest. A group of large fish even started to chase after him.

[Battle power 110]

Emery decided to take out his sword, killed a few and brought back one of them as a souvenir.

The two girls were actually just finished their fight and were just sitting on the sandy beach in desperation, when Emery came out of the water pulling a 5 meters white fish.

"Let's stop arguing and have some dinner first. We will come up with a solution when we have filled our stomach," Emery suggested.

His suggestion only made the girls instantly turn their faces to the side and tried not to look at him. What Emery didn't know was he came out of the water shirtless showing his bare chest with water droplets all over him. The two girls, Silva and Annara both unconsciously blushed.

The two were stunned for a second, before Silva finally started mocking him again.

"You do realize that cultivators like us don't really need to eat, don't you?"

Emery just smiled as his response and then he continued,

"Well, cultivators can still enjoy good food, though. It's important to feed ourselves especially in our stressful condition."

"Huh! Do you even know how to cook!? Silva doubtfully asked.

"Well, I have some ingredients on hand, but I am hoping for some assistance actually."

Silva quickly turned her face away, as a sign that she was not willing to help. On the other hand, realizing Silva did not want to contribute to the cooking process, Annara was actually tempted to do the opposite.

"I'll take care of it I'll help you," she offered.

Annara became even more ecstatic, as she watched Silva become increasingly annoyed.

Emery began to pick up some woods and the red haired girl started casting a fire spell. The two of them seemed to be working well as a team.

In his spatial space, Emery had a cauldron and hundreds of different ingredients, yet, most of them were used for potion making. He started to sort out some ingredients that had taste and aroma, hoping they would work to give flavor to the dishes they were going to make. Also, since Annara was willing to help, Emery then delegated the cooking process itself to her.

Emery instantaneously smiled in the middle of this cooking process. Talking about cooking, his memory suddenly recalled the moment where Klea almost died because of his awful cooking skills. Apparently, a situation like this just randomly took him back to that moment.

When the food was ready, Emery was taken aback to realize Silva had already been sitting behind them without anyone noticing. The girl, who had no intention to eat and didn't want to help in the cooking process a moment ago, had now become the one who swiftly took a seat to enjoy the food.

"Well, just because I am not helping doesn't mean I don't get a portion right?" Said Silva shamelessly.

Annara was annoyed and about to fight again, but Emery quickly stopped her, calmly picked a bowl, put some of the fish stew in, and handed it to Silva.

The serpent girl was elated "Thank you. This is what is right you should do this more often."

However, when Silva took a spoonful into her mouth, she quickly threw it up.

"Hoeekk...What kind of food is this?" She protested, yet this was considered funny to the others.

That night, an unexpected laugh echoed across the sandy shore.
