Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 331: Sandworm



The native Su Chen didn't want to provoke the other islanders for the time being, after all, he didn't know what their capabilities were or how formidable they might be.

Su Chen glanced at Lin Xi, who was looking at him from a distance without speaking, and with a smile, he asked, "Um, Boss Lin, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry," Lin Xi stubbornly declared.

Gurgle...

However, her stomach betrayed her.

Her pretty face instantly flushed red, feeling embarrassed...

Shaking his head, Su Chen smiled at the female CEO who was still concerned about face even in this situation, and then he stood up.

There was no food on the island, but the sea was teeming with it.

Only, it's not so easy for an ordinary person to get food.

After all, there were no fishing tools.

Catching fish with bare hands?

That's something you only see in movies; ordinary people don't have that kind of hand speed.

Of course, the main reason that these people were unwilling to catch fish in the sea was because of fear.

Fear of encountering sharks.

The image of two tourists being bitten to death by sharks was still vivid in their minds.

After observing the beach for a little while, Su Chen said to several women, "Do you want to collect stones in the sea, or dig sand?"

Collect stones? Dig sand?

Although they didn't know what Su Chen wanted them to do, the women unanimously chose to dig sand without any hesitation.

What if they encountered a shark while picking stones in the sea?

With the women's choice, Su Chen just smiled and said no more.

"Here, here, keep digging," Su Chen marked a circle for them.

The women began to dig sand with tree branches.

After a while, feeling that using branches was too slow, they simply started digging with their hands.

Meanwhile, Su Chen rolled up his sleeves and went into the sea to pick up stones.

But soon, a scream was heard from the shore.

Then he saw the women panicked like they had seen a ghost, falling to the ground one by one.

Originally, they had been digging just fine.

Suddenly, while digging, Lin Xi seemed to have touched something soft and driven by curiosity, she picked it up between two fingers, and then she saw a cylindrical creature, resembling an earthworm but definitely not an earthworm,

Squirming in her hand.

She was frightened to the point of losing color and then threw it away instinctively.

This careless throw was problematic; it landed straight on Xia Yan.

Xia Yan quickly patted her clothing, then flicked that dreadful creature into the flight attendant's outfit.

The flight attendant was scared to tears...

Crying out for help desperately.

She shook her body violently but due to the panic, she ended up shaking the little bug deeper in.

The other women had already fled far away, too frightened to assist the flight attendant.

Seeing each of the women's faces turn pale with fear, and the flight attendant who was also crying, Su Chen helplessly walked out of the sea.

Seeing the disgusting worm Su Chen held in his hand, still wriggling, each woman kept her distance.

Women, after all, have an inherent fear of such creatures.

In fact, the female pilot knew what this thing was called and knew it was harmless - it could even be eaten and was delicious.

But as women, they naturally reject these creatures.

"Su Chen, why didn't you tell us there were bugs in the sand?" Lin Xi glared fiercely at Su Chen.

If Su Chen had told her earlier, she would rather be bitten to death by sharks in the sea than dig sand.

Xia Yan also looked at Su Chen with a face of disgust.

"If I had told you beforehand, would you still dare to dig?" Su Chen pursed his lips.

He then approached Lin Xi, "Boss, you really don't need to be afraid, this thing is called a Sandworm. It might look disgusting, but it's actually very nutritious. Wanna try one?"

Su Chen was not fooling Lin Xi; the Sandworm, also known as sea ginseng, has the scientific name 'stars of the grid', also called the 'naked star worm', commonly known as 'Sandworm'.

Its shape is very much like an intestine, cylindrically shaped, approximately 10-20 centimeters in length, and its body is smooth without hair, its body wall composed of longitudinal muscle bundles, arranged in criss-cross patterns, forming a checkerboard pattern. Although it's not as prestigious as sea cucumber, shark fin, or abalone, its taste is fresh and tender, surpassed neither by sea cucumber nor shark fin.

Moreover, this little creature grows on coastal tidal flats, is extremely sensitive to the quality of its growing environment, and cannot survive if polluted, thus it is known as a "biological indicator of the environment."

Put simply, it's natural and free of pollution.

"You, just get away from me, if you come any closer, I, the CEO, will die right in front of you!" Lin Xi was almost faint just by looking at that little creature.

Let her eat it?

She would rather die than eat it.

Seeing Lin Xi's reluctance to eat, Su Chen shook his head regretfully and then approached Xia Yan, still holding the wriggling Sandworm, "Sister Yan, wanna give it a try?"

Xia Yan ran far away in fright.

Looking again at the flight attendant, even the female pilot, they all looked disgustedly at him.

Su Chen knew his idea of having them eat Sandworms to stave off hunger was shattered.

"Sigh, it's really delicious though," Su Chen casually popped the Sandworm into his mouth and chewed on it.

It tasted wonderful.

The women's eyes immediately bulged.

Three seconds later, Lin Xi went to vomit.

Five seconds later, the flight attendant vomited.

After ten seconds, Xia Yan and the female pilot also threw up.

Looking at the women vomiting a mess, Su Chen rolled his eyes.

How come you don't throw up when you eat seafood normally?

Sandworms are seafood too, and more nutritious than the rest; they also have the benefits of reducing blood pressure, treating dampness, and preventing cancer. Many people vie to buy them but can't get them!

He guessed he couldn't rely on these sisters to continue helping him dig for Sandworms.

Su Chen had no choice but to do it himself.

Luckily, the women had already dug up the surface sand, making it easier for Su Chen to dig further.

Actually, he didn't even need to dig, just picking was enough, and soon Su Chen had taken out a dozen or so plump Sandworms from the sand.

Honestly, if he didn't need to use these Sandworms as bait shortly, he would want to eat all of them right now.
