Chapter 180: Mask Man
As soon as they arrived at the island, everyone “swooshed” 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.
“Should we also get acquainted with the island first?” Wu Jingxian suggested to Zhou Ping.
“Yes.” Zhou Ping nodded.
After that, the two of them didn’t have to work lightly, so they walked around the island slowly. Looking at the posture of the two of them, it’s 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 Jingxian’s heart moved inexplicably and followed Zhou Ping’s swaying.
“Wow, there are wild fruits here! I don’t know what kind of fruits they are and if they can be eaten. But the red is so beautiful…
“Huh? This creek is so clear! I didn’t expect there to be creeks on the island. I thought there was no fresh water on the island.
“Look, look, there are fish in the creek. I remember that freshwater fish and saltwater fish can’t live in each other’s environment, right?” 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 Jingxian’s 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.
“There are birds? Aping, look how cute the bird is!” Wu Jingxian suddenly pointed to a few birds with bright feathers as if she had discovered a new world.
“Aping, can you help me catch those birds?” Wu Jingxian said to Zhou Ping, who had seen Zhou Ping’s bodywork.
“Sure enough, girls can’t resist beautiful and cute things? Even Wu Jingxian who is crazy about martial arts is the same.” Zhou Ping smiled inwardly.
“Such a cute bird, it must taste good.” 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.
“Aping, don’t we find a place to hide?” Wu Jingxian looked at the sky with some worry. “The sky is going to darken soon.”
“Rest assured.” Zhou Ping got some wood on the island and moved it to the beach.
“Trust me, this second exam is not a problem at all.”
“Well, I believe you.” 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.
Puff…
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 Ping’s current cultivation level, he experimented a few times at random and found the trick. Although the “wood-burning technique” 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.
“Salt is easy to handle!” 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.
“It turns out that the greatest effect of True Qi and martial arts is to survive in the wilderness.” Spreading salt on the grilled food, Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian took a big bite.
“Quack,?two brave little ghosts.” A bad sound came, and a guy wearing a tiger mask appeared in front of Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian.
“You actually set up a bonfire here to make a barbecue in an upright manner. I don’t know if you are an idiot or brave?”
“Hey, why can’t you show up later? You interrupted a good barbecue,” Zhou Ping looked at the barbecue in his hand, ate a few bites, and said, dissatisfied.
“Also, can you not pretend to have a strange voice. It’s really not good.”
“You, kid, are interesting.” 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.
“This 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.
“How about it? Would you like to come over and have some? Have you had dinner yet?” Zhou Ping waved the roasted bird meat in his hand.
“You’re funny. Hahaha… but I won’t show mercy to you just because I eat your food.” The middle-aged man wearing a tiger mask stood opposite Zhou Ping unceremoniously.
“But you have too little food. It’s not enough to stuff my teeth. Wait a minute…” 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.
“Hey, 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.” The masked man didn’t 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.
“Okay, I’m full, and it’s time to start working.” After that, the masked man’s imposing side was fierce.
“Boy, looking at the friendship of this barbecue, I will try to do it lightly.” As soon as the voice fell, the man in the mask turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Zhou Ping.
“It’s just the cultivation base of the second realm of Martial Intent Transformation.” Zhou Ping didn’t care. When the masked man slammed into Zhou Ping’s location, he realized that Zhou Ping was no longer where he was.
“A bit capable, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant.” The middle-aged man’s 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.
“Good health!” 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.
