Chapter 332: Commits Sin
Seeing Su Chen collecting those disgusting things, the women avoided it as much as they could.
Su Chen pursed his lips, now you guys loathe it, but in a little while, you might fall in love with them.
The stones had also been collected, enough to reluctantly set up a small trap.
Su Chen walked to the seaside, to a place that was a tad more than a foot deep, then piled the collected stones into a ring-shaped pit, leaving only a very small entrance, and then he threaded the Sandworm onto a tree branch and secured the branch in the crevices of the rocks.
Actually, there were a lot of fish by the seaside, but they wouldn't just carelessly come close to the shore.
But it's different when there is food.
After Su Chen had set everything up, he stood quietly in the water, motionless.
Just like a sculpture.
About ten minutes later, the sea fish smelled the fresh scent of the Sandworm and slowly swam over.
A few simple sea fish, having no idea they were entering a trap, swam right in.
Once three fish had swum in, Su Chen quickly blocked the entrance with his foot.
Feeling the movement of the water, the fish instantly tried to scatter in every direction.
Unfortunately, they were blocked by the rocks on all sides.
Immediately they were so disoriented they were bumping around.
Su Chen easily caught the three sea fish, then tossed them onto the shore.
Seeing this sight, the people on the shore suddenly had their eyes wide open.
Although they knew there were fish in the sea, and sometimes they would swim to the shore.
Unfortunately, they just couldn't catch them.
Who would have thought that Su Chen caught three so easily.
Seeing three lively and plump fish hopping around before their eyes, the women almost ate them alive right there.
After all, these past few days, they could only eat some dried fish and were so hungry they were dizzy.
But after all, these people all had rather good manners.
What to do with these fish, had to be decided by Su Chen.
Su Chen repeated the same method and caught two more.
After that, either the fish got smarter, or the ones that escaped had snitched to their buddies, no more fish came over.
Anyway, it was enough for a meal, so Su Chen came out of the water.
Five fish in total.
Each one was over a dozen centimeters long.
In the eyes of the four famished women, they were simply the finest delicacies.
"You all go pick up some dry branches, don't go too deep," Su Chen instructed the women.
"Oh," the women quickly agreed.
At this time, having food was like having a mother.
They were willing to do anything Su Chen asked of them.
Didn't you see the woman who was beaten earlier? She was covered in bruises, all for a few small dried fish that were already slightly stinky.
"Uh, Boss Lin, come here for a moment." While the women went to pick up firewood, Su Chen called Lin Xi over.
Lin Xi stopped and walked back to Su Chen's side, looking at him confusedly, "What's up?"
"I have an important task for you," Su Chen said earnestly.
Lin Xi suddenly widened her eyes, as her expression seemed to say, if you dare make me dig for worms, I'll die right in front of you.
It wasn't until the three women walked far away that Su Chen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, wife, I won't make you dig for worms. You're my wife, how could I bear to let you suffer? Let them do the work of picking up the wood."
"Then, what should I do?" Although her status was special, Lin Xi felt that she should still contribute.
After all, this environment didn't suit getting something for nothing.
"How about this, wife, give me a kiss, and we'll consider it your part of the labor," Su Chen chuckled.
Lin Xi glanced at Su Chen's mouth, then looked at the Sandworm he had kept by the rocks, her lips twitching, "I'd rather go pick up wood!"
With that, she turned around and walked away proudly.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen inwardly cursed his luck.
Why did I just lose control and eat a Sandworm?
Now I'll probably never get a kiss from Lin Xi for the rest of my life, right?
This is really self-inflicted.
"I'm willing, I'm willing to do anything, anything you ask of me for food!" Not long after Lin Xi left, two women rushed to Su Chen's side like mad dogs, their eyes fixated on the few fish, continuously swallowing saliva.
These two women were covered in bruises.
It dawned on Su Chen what these two women had been through.
For food, they had already abandoned their dignity.
But, there was nothing surprising about it.
After all, the feeling of hunger is not something that the average person can imagine.
Su Chen had experienced hunger before during missions.
Especially that time when he was trapped underground with the Dragon King.
Back then, feeling thirsty and hungry, he could even drink his own urine and eat his own flesh.
With a sigh, Su Chen tossed a fish to the two women.
In less than a minute, the two fish were devoured alive by the two women.
After eating, the two women greedily glanced at the four remaining fish in front of Su Chen.
But they controlled their desire to ask Su Chen for more.
After all, they knew that there were still a few people by Su Chen's side who had not eaten.
This fact satisfied Su Chen quite a bit.
Had these two women dared to come forward and snatch, he guaranteed he wouldn't give them a single bite of food.
After the two women finished eating, they didn't leave but looked at Su Chen, "We, what can we do for you?"
Su Chen understood that in recent days these two women had gotten used to exchanging themselves for food.
Having just eaten his food, they subconsciously thought to repay him.
Had it not been for seeing the four stunning beauties by Su Chen's side, they probably would have directly offered to exchange their bodies for food.
Su Chen glanced at the two women, dirty-faced but still fairly attractive, though not beautiful.
He guessed they hadn't suffered much in their daily lives, hence their lack of willpower.
After holding out for two days, they finally compromised with Tie Niu and the others.
They had also tried enduring beatings.
But those people were too cruel.
Women who exchanged food for being beaten were simply battered to an unbearable sight.
Those men had violent tendencies to begin with.
In this place without restraint, their brutality grew even more fierce.
It was already fortunate that they hadn't beaten someone to death.
Moreover, they knew that the food from Tie Niu and his gang wasn't obtained for free; it was looted from the natives.
To get that food, they too had been injured.
Therefore, it was only right that they should pay a price.
"You don't need to pay anything," Su Chen said indifferently.
The two women were somewhat surprised, not expecting Su Chen to ask nothing in return.
Su Chen smiled and said, "You just saw my method for catching fish. Actually, you too can catch them."
The two women looked at each other.
Yes, they had seen how Su Chen caught fish.
But they were a bit fearful of the Sandworms he used as bait.
Su Chen didn't say anything more.
These two women, he had no acquaintance with.
If they couldn't even overcome this obstacle.
Why would he bother helping them?
