Chapter 180: Mask Man
As soon as they arrived at the island, everyone âswooshedâ and dispersed. For this kind of evasive task, it was more convenient to have fewer people than more people. Therefore, most of them were lone rangers. Only Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian stood together.
âShould we also get acquainted with the island first?â Wu Jingxian suggested to Zhou Ping.
âYes.â Zhou Ping nodded.
After that, the two of them didnât have to work lightly, so they walked around the island slowly. Looking at the posture of the two of them, itâs not like those who came to participate in the assessment, but more like those who came to travel for vacation.
Zhou Ping was very relaxed and walked unhurriedly. Wu Jingxian was still a little impatient at first, but seeing Zhou Ping swaying, Wu Jingxianâs heart moved inexplicably and followed Zhou Pingâs swaying.
âWow, there are wild fruits here! I donât know what kind of fruits they are and if they can be eaten. But the red is so beautifulâ¦
âHuh? This creek is so clear! I didnât expect there to be creeks on the island. I thought there was no fresh water on the island.
âLook, look, there are fish in the creek. I remember that freshwater fish and saltwater fish canât live in each otherâs environment, right?â Walking with Zhou Ping and letting go of the exam mood, Wu Jingxian actually began to show some girly nature. Pulling Zhou Ping to ask the east and the west, there is no logic of what to think of and what to say.
Zhou Ping looked at all this with a smile. Wu Jingxianâs face had always been full of smiles, like a childhood sweetheart. Without a bit of coolness, that beautiful face also began to show its demeanor.
âThere are birds? Aping, look how cute the bird is!â Wu Jingxian suddenly pointed to a few birds with bright feathers as if she had discovered a new world.
âAping, can you help me catch those birds?â Wu Jingxian said to Zhou Ping, who had seen Zhou Pingâs bodywork.
âSure enough, girls canât resist beautiful and cute things? Even Wu Jingxian who is crazy about martial arts is the same.â Zhou Ping smiled inwardly.
âSuch a cute bird, it must taste good.â Wu Jingxian licked the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
Zhou Ping, who was about to start his light work, staggered and almost fell on the ground. The two wandered around the island like a mountain and water, and it was getting late gradually.
âAping, donât we find a place to hide?â Wu Jingxian looked at the sky with some worry. âThe sky is going to darken soon.â
âRest assured.â Zhou Ping got some wood on the island and moved it to the beach.
âTrust me, this second exam is not a problem at all.â
âWell, I believe you.â Without any reason, Wu Jingxian believed it.
Infusing energy into the wood to force the moisture in the wood to dry, Zhou Ping grabbed the wood and patted it lightly. Immediately, the whole wood turned into dry wood. Going to the creek to clean up the two birds they caught with the stream water, and then use wood to make a few barbecue forks, put the processed birds on the wooden forks, Zhou Ping rubbed the pieces of wood abruptly.
Puffâ¦
A flame appeared on the wood, and soon, Zhou Ping created a bonfire. Although he had never learned the wood-burning technique, Zhou Ping remembered its principle. With Zhou Pingâs current cultivation level, he experimented a few times at random and found the trick. Although the âwood-burning techniqueâ had no attack effect, there was still no problem with igniting a few pieces of wood.
Paying attention to controlling the heat, the two treated birds were cooked on the outside and tender on the inside. Zhou Ping tore off a small piece and chewed it, and found that there was no salty taste.
âSalt is easy to handle!â Zhou Ping hollowed out a small basin with wood and filled it with some sea water. Under True Qi, sea water evaporated quickly, and sea salt and some brine were precipitated. Getting the sea salt out with skill and blending it into some stream water again and again, some refined salt was obtained.
âIt turns out that the greatest effect of True Qi and martial arts is to survive in the wilderness.â Spreading salt on the grilled food, Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian took a big bite.
âQuack,?two brave little ghosts.â A bad sound came, and a guy wearing a tiger mask appeared in front of Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian.
âYou actually set up a bonfire here to make a barbecue in an upright manner. I donât know if you are an idiot or brave?â
âHey, why canât you show up later? You interrupted a good barbecue,â Zhou Ping looked at the barbecue in his hand, ate a few bites, and said, dissatisfied.
âAlso, can you not pretend to have a strange voice. Itâs really not good.â
âYou, kid, are interesting.â The voice of the guy with the tiger mask returned to normal, and it turned out to be the voice of a middle-aged man.
Zhou Ping glanced at him casually and found that he actually only had the cultivation base of the second realm of Martial Intent.
âThis person is definitely not a teacher of the special department. Di Ziang and Ye Pingchuan both have True Qi cultivation bases. However, the cultivation bases of the second state of martial intent condensation are indeed masters for these candidates.
âHow about it? Would you like to come over and have some? Have you had dinner yet?â Zhou Ping waved the roasted bird meat in his hand.
âYouâre funny. Hahaha⦠but I wonât show mercy to you just because I eat your food.â The middle-aged man wearing a tiger mask stood opposite Zhou Ping unceremoniously.
âBut you have too little food. Itâs not enough to stuff my teeth. Wait a minuteâ¦â After the mask man finished speaking, he rushed towards the sea.
Boom boom boom!
The palms waved repeatedly, and the sea blew up one after another. When the sea fell, there were seven or eight fish lying on the beach.
Each of these fish weighed three to five kilograms. The masked man followed Zhou Ping, so he treated a few fish in the sea water, and then cut off a branch and made a fork.
âHey, when you come to take the exam, we will also accompany you. On this island, we can only do the same as you candidates and get enough food and clothing on our own. By the way, give me some salt.â The masked man didnât look like the one who came to arrest Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian. He actually chatted with Zhou Ping.
The three of them surrounded the bonfire and ate for nearly an hour. The man in the mask threw the wooden fork aside and patted his stomach.
âOkay, Iâm full, and itâs time to start working.â After that, the masked manâs imposing side was fierce.
âBoy, looking at the friendship of this barbecue, I will try to do it lightly.â As soon as the voice fell, the man in the mask turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Zhou Ping.
âItâs just the cultivation base of the second realm of Martial Intent Transformation.â Zhou Ping didnât care. When the masked man slammed into Zhou Pingâs location, he realized that Zhou Ping was no longer where he was.
âA bit capable, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant.â The middle-aged manâs face became solemn. He suddenly turned his head and rushed to Wu Jingxian.
Zhou Ping gave a chuckle, and the Seven Undead Illusions was launched. He held Wu Jingxian in his arms.
The mask man flew into the air again.
âGood health!â The masked man exclaimed, and his feet changed continuously, bringing up several afterimages in different directions.
However, it was of no use. Ten minutes later, the breathless masked man looked at Zhou Ping with horrified eyes.
