    When Big Quinn was about to walk forward, Brother Wolf reached over, grabbed hold of him, and said softly, “You saw it and you still want to go over?”


    “Australian sapphire grapes, why can’t I go over?” Big Quinn looked curiously at Brother Wolf.


    Brother Wolf replied, “Look closely at the grapevine. What else do you see?”


    After hearing the rather baffling conversation between Big Quinn and Brother Wolf, Li Du took a closer look at the grapevine.


    Li Du had also noticed the Australian sapphire grapes that Big Quinn spoke of. The grapevine that the Australian sapphire grapes grew on looked very appealing with clusters of grapes hanging off it.


    But what else is here? Li Du took a close look at the grapevine and ultimately saw nothing.


    As Big Quinn looked baffled, it was clear that he too could not see what else was on the grapevine. However, knowing Brother Wolf’s personality, he would not lie to the both of them and had definitely noticed something.


    After releasing the little bug and having it fly closer to inspect the grapevine, Li Du was shocked.


    Being able to see the grapevine more clearly after the little bug, who had a better vision, flew close to it, Li Du saw a snake coiling around a vine that was located in between the green grapevine and the clusters of purple grapes.


    The long snake, which had white strips on its body and exterior that was also purple, was hidden in between the grape clusters. As it was very well hidden, spotting it was indeed not possible without taking a close look at the grapevine.


    “There are snakes,” Li Du said. “Two.”


    There was another snake, which was small, green, and only 20 to 30 centimeters long, resting on the top of the same grapevine. As the body of the small snake was exactly the same as the green leaves that it was resting in, detecting it was even harder.


    As Brother Wolf did not notice the small green snake, he wondered, “Are there two?”


    After Li Du pointed out the snake for him, he came to a sudden realization and said, “I only saw the purple viper. It turns out that there is another snake. What snake is that? I have never seen a snake like that before.”


    With its jade body and crimson eyes, the small snake was very beautiful.


    Li Du felt that the small snake looked a little like a trimeresurus stejnegeri, which he had seen in his hometown before. However, the eyes of a trimeresurus stejnegeri were not crimson red.


    Regardless of the snakes’ species, based on their appearance, it was best not to provoke them.


    However, the delicious grapes were right in front of their eyes. As there were currently no more fruits on the yacht, they had to replenish their supplies with a few grapes from this ce, and they were unwilling to leave empty-handed.


    Li Du looked at the snakes and then at Ah Meow. Indeed, the ocelot was allowed to fight the snakes.


    After Li Du gave Ah Meow amand, Ah Meow immediately scampered over, dashed nimbly under the grapevine, and climbed up the grapevine’s trunk, which was as thick as an adult’s arm, before bringing the purple viper down with a lightning-fast strike.


    Vipers were the kings among poisonous snakes and were known for being ferocious.


    Despite that, the viper was unable to show its ferocity when faced against Ah Meow. The viper, whichy motionless for a long period of time after being swiped onto the ground by Ah Meow, had most likely been knocked out.


    The small green snake was rather clever. After seeing Ah Meow’s attack, it immediately escaped by slithering along the vines, which were intertwined with each other, at a very fast speed.


    Brother Wolf, who was full of admiration for Ah Meow, said, “So cool. I’ve never seen such an amazing ocelot before. Ah Meow is really an exceptional predator.”


    Like the tiger snake that they had encountered previously, the viper was also not a match for Ah Meow. As ocelots had an exceptionally fast reaction time, snakes were their prey.


    It was not because ocelots were much stronger than vipers but because ocelots were the natural enemies of vipers. As poisonous snakes mainly relied on the speed of their attacks, they would be helpless if their opponent was faster than them.


    Unfortunately for the viper, as Ah Meow had been strengthened by the little bug, he was the fighter among ocelots. Since he was the fastest and strongest ocelot, he was on apletely different level than those poisonous snakes.


    With the poisonous snake taken care of by Ah Meow, the few of them carefully approached the grapevine, picked some grapes each, and began eating them.


    “Not poisonous, right?” Hans asked uneasily.


    Brother Wolf replied, “Use your shirt to wipe them. At most, there’s dirt on them. They are not poisonous.”


    “What if the poisonous snake dripped venom on them?” Hans asked, worried.


    Brother Wolf replied, “Venom is the most important body fluid in poisonous snakes. Would you cut open a main artery and spray blood all over the yard of your house for no reason?”


    As Godzi was a glutton, his eyes lit up after seeing food. Without even wiping the grapes after plucking them, Godzi, who was not afraid that they were poisonous, ate a whole string of grapes in just three mouthfuls.


    While eating the grapes, Godzi asked, “Boss, why are these grapes so delicious? Also, why do they look so odd? Look, so long. They are also slightly carved?”


    Hans teased him, “These are obviously not ordinary grapes. They are formed from grafting grapes onto other nts.”


    “What were the grapes grafted onto?” Godzi wondered.


    “What are you talking about?” Hans continued teasing him.


    Godzi plucked another string of grapes and said, “Were the grapes grafted onto cucumber nts? No, if they were grafted onto cucumber nts, they should have changed color. Or, they were grafted onto eggnt nts?”


    Unable to hold it in, Hans suddenly broke into uncontrobleughter.


    The grapes were indeed very delicious. The group of them had arrived at just the right time when the grapes were very plump, sturdy when pressed in their hands, and had juicy meat. Furthermore, as the grapes were also free of pollutants andpletely natural, they had a satisfying time eating them.


    Having eaten a few strings of grapes, they plucked a bunch of grapes before taking off their shirts and carrying the grapes back.


    After being informed that the ind had grapevines, Sophie and the others became excited and requested loudly to go onto the ind.


    As Li Du wanted to harvest the ck gold abalone around the ind, Brother Wolf, Big Quinn, and Godzi found a piece of barrennd next to the sea, cleared away the weeds, and set up camp.


    While Li Du had been eating the grapes earlier, he released the little bug to survey the ind. This ind, which was the ind that the few people on Cape Barren ind had been talking about yesterday, was surrounded by reefs and had quite a number of ck gold abalones living in its shallow waters.


    Probably due to the ind being a ce where very few people traveled to, many animals inhabited its waters. Besides sea lions, which Li Du had seen before, there were also penguins in the sea. This was the first time Li Du, who had always thought that penguins only lived in the South Pole, had seen penguins.


    Having also spotted various types of fish, prawns, crabs, and mollusks, Li Du felt that they could have their fill on seafood if he was to harvest ck gold abalone here.


    From time to time, he would wonder, Since there are free seafood and fruits and the environment here is so good, why don’t I migrate and stay here?


    However, he reckoned that living for a long period of time in a ce like Cape Barren Ind where there was no inte, gas, electricity, and basic necessities would drive one crazy.


    After the group, led by Brother Wolf, swiftly cleared a piece ofnd, Li Du was ready to bring Sophie and the others over. However, when he went to inspect the piece ofnd, he noticed a lizard crawling out.


    There were a lot of lizards in Australia, especially in the desert regions. As this was an ind surrounded by the sea, there were fewer lizards here and hence, this was the first time Li Du had encountered one.


    While the lizard, which was approximately 20 centimeters long, scampered around the piece of sandynd that Brother Wolf and his group had cleared, an area of the sandynd behind it began shaking rapidly. After which, a ck figure popped out from the ground and pounced on the lizard.


    The ck figure’s movements were very quick. After the ck figure pounced on the lizard, the lizard made a few attempts at escape before straightening its limbs.


    Having seen clearly what it was that hade out of the ground, the corner of Li Du’s mouth twitched. F*ck, it’s a centipede! Arge, foot-long centipede!


    He had never seen such a huge centipede before. The centipede, which had a brightly colored back and a segmented body, arrogantly wriggled away while dragging the lizard with it.


    Taken aback, Li Du could not help but shout, “F*ck! We aren’t on Skull Ind, right?”
