Chapter 965: Chapter 954: Beastman Plane 74

In the following days, Yan Mo created an area for sun-drying salt and managed to produce no less than a hundred pounds of edible sea salt.

But to supply four bases with enough salt for three years was still not sufficient, so after Xia Yue and his group had four days of fun, they spent the next few days helping to dry the salt.

Xia Yue, Wei Se, and Ziluo spent the first three days diving into the sea. They found many pearl oysters at the bottom, and gathered lots of pearls—big and round—coupled with several beautiful pieces of coral, either to give to their elders at home or to decorate their rooms.

They also found some odd stones, scales, shells, sea snails, and so on.

When they had their fill of fun, they joined Yan Mo in drying salt, and Xia Yue even brought out the System to help.

During this time, Aris came up with his guards, carrying a lot of fish and shrimps, looking to have a barbecue.

After Xia Yue and his friends helped with the barbecue twice, they let them learn to do it by themselves on the third attempt.

Aris was more than willing, having his subordinates learn as well.

Knowing that they liked corals and pearls, he traded some of his collection of pearls for their seasonings and such.

"In the evening, Yan Mo looked at them and said, "We’ve been out here quite a while, and we’ll be going back the day after tomorrow. Is there anything else you guys want to do?"

"Nothing much left to do. How about another barbecue tomorrow?" Xia Yue proposed, looking at them.

"Sure, sounds good. Shall we invite Aris?" Ziluo was obviously delighted by the idea.

"Should we call him now? Tell him to come early tomorrow," Wei Se suggested, thinking it helpful to get them to assist earlier.

"That works. It’s still early, better now than later, or we would wake them from their sleep, which wouldn’t be polite," Yan Mo said, standing up and readying himself to head over to the beach to notify Aris.

Aris had previously given them a method to communicate, enabling them to seek his help should any issue arise in or near the sea.

"Then off you go. Make sure they bring ingredients," Xia Yue said—some delicious fish could only be found in the deeper parts of the sea, which was hard for them but easy for the Sea Clan.

"Okay." Yan Mo nodded and departed.

He returned before long.

"All set. Aris’s men have passed the message on to him," Yan Mo came back and sat down to say.

"Tomorrow, get some coconuts to make coconut jelly and ice," Xia Yue turned to the System and instructed.

"Understood," the System nodded in response.

The next day, before even their usual waking time, they were rudely awakened by Aris and the people he brought.

Yan Mo, vigilant even in sleep, woke at the first sign of noise and came out of his tent to see Aris’s men—Sea Clan Beastmen—holding various seafood ingredients in both hands, with Aris himself proudly carrying a huge fish.

"We’re here, with today’s ingredients. Check if anything’s missing; we can catch more if necessary," Aris said, placing the fish in front of Yan Mo with an eight-toothed grin.

"You’ve come too early. The barbecue isn’t until around noon," Yan Mo said with a headache, it being only seven o’clock.

"No matter, we can wait," Aris didn’t seem to mind, found a spot to sit down, and gestured for the other Beastmen to set down the ingredients. Looking around, he didn’t see Xia Yue and the others and curiously asked, "Where are the others?"

"They haven’t woken up yet; you guys came way too early," Yan Mo said as he gestured to prevent them from just placing the items on the ground.

He found some containers for them to use, his voice tinged with helplessness at Aris’s inquiry.
