Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 214 The Man at the Top of the Food Chain
August 16th, evening.

The three members of the safety team followed Chen Baiyu out several times to collect water and stone materials, and filmed the process of him expanding and optimizing the shelter, as this guest had basically passed the test on the first day.

Compared to previous guests.

Chen Baiyu was living a very comfortable life.

With food no longer a concern, he spent almost the entire day, starting around noon, collecting wood and stones to expand and improve his shelter.

For Chen Baiyu, this was a mission to complete: to collect the essence of the earth's veins.

But in everyone's eyes, he was enjoying life, building himself a better shelter after he had enough to eat and wear.

A day's time passed.

He did more than just expand the shelter.

The room was surrounded by a fence, and inside, polished stone beds, stone tables, and stone benches were added.

Their action and efficiency are practically at their maximum.

Even if someone said that a construction team built this shelter here, probably no one would doubt it.

After all, this increasingly perfect shelter in their eyes didn't seem like something that could be built by one person in less than a day, without any tools at all.

This requires not only sufficient planning and thinking, but also a strong physique; both are essentially indispensable.

It is obvious from their filming that Chen Baiyu possesses both of these abilities.

In short.

The security team silently followed and filmed the entire process.

It wasn't until evening that I saw Chen Baiyu, after returning one time, sitting on the ground, polishing stone furniture while roasting meat over a campfire.

It seems there are basically no plans for them to go out again.

They then set up the camera on the ground and continued filming Chen Baiyu polishing stone tools.

The photographer, who had freed up his hands, followed the other two and began rummaging through their own bags, eventually finding a large portable tent.

That's right.

As a security trio, they naturally also had their own packages.

After all, they would be staying in the wild with the guests, and since they didn't have the same restrictions as the guests, they naturally brought as many convenient modern supplies as possible.

Tents, sleeping bags, portable food, pots and pans, knives, fire sources, and a whole range of other items are provided.

As those responsible for security and logistics, they naturally cannot suffer with the guests; they need a comfortable life to ensure they have enough energy.

At this moment.

The three men, having skillfully set up their tent, took out the food they had brought, heated it up, and began to enjoy their meal.

Compared to the compressed biscuits they ate at noon, the hot food they made after setting up their tents and lighting a fire at night was obviously much more appealing.

Compared to the food one could get in the wild without any tools, this stew of canned meat was definitely a delicacy.

In previous program recordings.

At this time of night, guests who haven't received enough or delicious food often watch the security team members eat with envy, enduring their hunger.

This is a regular feature of Wilderness Adventure.

The audience really enjoyed this segment.

However, today's situation is clearly somewhat contrary to the natural order.

On the contrary, the three members of the security team drank meat soup while watching Chen Baiyu happily eat roasted meat with envious expressions.

That was half a wild boar leg.

It sizzled and dripped oil as it roasted over the campfire.

Although there was no salt.

However, Chen Baiyu smeared some edible salty plant scraps on it, as well as wild honey he found in the forest, and some wild onions and ginger.

Just thinking about it makes you realize that this stuff will not only not taste bland, but will actually taste quite delicious.

After all, the sense of smell, which is a major component of taste, was clearly conveying the aroma of roasted meat to the three members of the security team.

The aroma made them unable to resist watching Chen Baiyu devour her food, and then they subconsciously felt that even the food they had heated up tasted somewhat bland.

This scene was clearly captured by the camera.

This will undoubtedly become one of the most memorable moments in the Wilderness Adventure program, and also a hot topic of discussion among netizens.

soon.

It got even darker, and everyone got ready to go to sleep.

The camera was positioned at an angle near the campfire, automatically capturing a panoramic view of the entire camp.

To prevent the possible appearance of wild animals, guards stand watch around the campfire for the first half of the night, while experts and cameramen will take turns to relieve them later.

late at night.

The thick darkness completely engulfed Black Bamboo Gully.

The lush green mountains and forests of the daytime have now transformed into a deep, undulating silhouette of ink.

far away.

An unidentified owl let out a short, hoarse cry or two.

The campfire in the center of the camp was still burning.

The guards on night watch continued to add firewood occasionally.

However, he controlled the fire slightly, preventing it from getting too big, but not so much that only dark red embers remained. Instead, he kept it in a state where there was still a small flame.

Because of this moment.

A campfire cannot illuminate a wide area, nor is it necessary to use a campfire for cooking or grilling meat.

Therefore, its main function is to illuminate a small area and ward off the cold. If these two purposes are achieved, it is not necessary to consume too much firewood to make the fire bigger.

That would be too wasteful.

Not only might the firewood gathered during the day not be enough, but there's also the possibility of an accident due to the fire being too large.

In short.

The guards were quite experienced, occasionally adding firewood while keeping an eye on the surroundings.

The safety team's experts and photographers were already curled up in their sleeping bags, both snoring after a long day of work.

The sound echoed throughout the tent, sounding even and heavy.

The quiet night made one feel somewhat sleepy.

Even the guards on night watch were somewhat affected; although they didn't fall asleep immediately, they subconsciously relaxed.

He was holding his tranquilizer gun, leaning against the tent pole in a daze.

next to.

The camera, now powered by a new battery, faithfully records the campsite frozen in the night, much like a silent, monocular metal eye.

And in this utter silence...

Chen Baiyu went out.

He emerged silently from his shelter, which resembled a small villa in the wilderness.

And before going out.

The power of Illumination Technique: All Things was silently activated, instantly covering his body with an extremely faint, almost invisible halo of light.

It immediately achieved the effect of invisibility.

No one or nothing could have witnessed this scene.

Because both cameras and the human eye rely on light, this highly sophisticated optical illusion is enough to fool the human eye and the fixed cameras in the camp.

So it's in the camera's field of view.

As if no one had ever passed by, everything was as usual.

The guards, of course, did not notice anything unusual.

But actually.

At this moment, Chen Baiyu had completely blended into the night, transforming into an invisible ghost.

Without the slightest hesitation, he headed straight for the depths of the dense forest.

His physical condition, which is 15 times the human limit, gives him the ability to walk on complex terrain as if it were flat ground.

therefore.

He is no longer the survivor who, during the day, had to deliberately slow down and find his way in order to perform in front of the camera.

He can go even faster now.

It even seems to have become part of the forest itself.

With just a light touch of the toes on the slippery moss, tangled tree roots, or steep rock walls, one can dart far away as if possessing superhuman agility.

His figure darted swiftly through the forest, yet he skillfully avoided all obstacles. And so it went.

He sped toward the deeper, more secluded area of ​​Black Bamboo Gully, where basalt was more densely distributed.

That's right.

He went out on a mission, and his goal was to search for more basalt.

current.

The progress of the quest to collect the essence of a hundred ley lines is 17/100, which is not much.

During the day, under the pretext of needing stone to expand the shelter, he touched almost every exposed or partially covered basalt boulder near the camp.

however.

Stones that the system can identify as containing "earth vein essence" are extremely rare; an afternoon's effort only increased the progress by a dozen strands.

Although it was anticipated that not all basalt would contain ley line essence.

However, this efficiency was still far below his expectations.

He realized he needed a much larger area to explore, and unrestricted speed and perception, otherwise the mission might stall for many days.

Therefore, he chose to go out and work overtime at night.

Without telling anyone, you can focus all your efforts on searching for basalt.

But they hadn't been deep in the forest for long.

His superhuman senses began to capture the vitality under the night sky.

A pair of eyes, gleaming with a ghostly green phosphorescence, flashed by behind a clump of ferns.

It was a wary badger.

Although he didn't see Chen Baiyu pass by clearly, he could smell the unfamiliar scent of her rushing past at high speed, so he quickly burrowed into the hole.

After traveling for a while longer...

His divine sense swept over a damp depression.

Several thick snake shadows could be clearly seen slowly wriggling among the silt and decaying leaves.

The scales make a faint sound when they rub together.

He didn't stop, but continued to explore.

It was like a supreme king inspecting his territory.

To be precise, he's like a man at the top of the food chain.

Ignoring all possible threats in the darkness, they strode forward in search of their target.

I don't know how much time passed like this.

His rapidly moving figure suddenly slowed down.

Then it silently came to rest on a huge fir branch.

The reason he stopped wasn't because the task progress bar was full, but because he discovered something new.

He noticed a small, much smaller fire flickering in a clearing in the woods not far ahead.

The presence of fire means the presence of humans.

Besides him, the only other people in this jungle were probably the guests from the other three groups.

As he pondered, he moved even closer.

In the firelight.

He saw an extremely rudimentary triangular shack, which looked to be barely constructed by relying on a few thick tree branches.

It was haphazardly covered with branches and leaves, with gaps large enough for the night wind to let in.

Compared to his luxurious villa-like sanctuary, this was nothing more than a doghouse.

Chen Baiyu could see far away through the gap.

Another guest, Raymond Lam, was tiptoeing out of the shelter and walking toward the edge of the camp.

After reaching the edge of the camp, he urinated into a few bushes.

This is clearly a way to solve physiological problems.

There were cameras inside the camp filming the general scene. As a public figure, he certainly wouldn't relieve himself in front of the camera.

However, since I rarely come to the jungle, especially not at night, I'm quite uncommon.

So he looked a little nervous at that moment.

While fiddling with his pants at his waist, he also looked around warily.

He was muttering something under his breath, as if trying to bolster his courage.

However, just as Lin Feng was about to finish and was about to zip up his pants...

Chen Baiyu's extraordinary senses keenly detected something amiss.

Behind a dense thicket of bushes, only seven or eight meters away from Lin Feng, a highly aggressive aura was lurking!

If you look closely, you'll find...

It was a medium-sized wild boar.

Its fangs gleamed faintly in the dim light, and its small eyes stared intently at Lin Feng's unsuspecting back.

Its forelegs had even begun to paw at the ground restlessly, and its body was slightly lowered.

This is a sign that an attack is about to begin.

Chen Baiyu's eyes suddenly narrowed!
at the same time.

A concentrated, almost tangible, spiritual pressure appeared.

This is the power of the Spirit Awakening Technique: Soul Sweeping!

That was a special skill developed through the practice of the Bright Moon Contemplation Method.

To be precise, this is no longer just a psychological pressure and intimidation, but a real attack on the spiritual and soul level.

So when it accurately struck the wild boar's brain!
It immediately caused real harm.

Even though it was just a controlled attack without using full force, the wild boar still felt an absolute, crushing will from the top of the food chain.

It didn't feel the fear brought by the pressure, but rather a splitting headache that felt like its mind was being shattered, which drove it almost crazy.

Therefore, its charging posture collapsed instantly.

His body shuddered violently as if he had been electrocuted, and his limbs went weak, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

But then.

The instinct to survive overwhelmed everything.

It endured the pain and abruptly changed direction.

Completely disregarding the obstruction of thorny bushes, it frantically tumbled and crawled, smashing through the branches and leaves.

After a loud crash, only the violently shaking bushes and the strong, pungent stench that filled the air remained.

This sudden, enormous commotion erupted not far behind them.

This startled Raymond Lam, who was just about to pull up his pants.

He shuddered suddenly and immediately turned to look.

But he couldn't find out what it was.

All that could be heard was a piercing scream, and all that could be seen was the violently shaking bushes.

Even so, it's already quite frightening.

"Mom!"

A scream escaped his throat.

His remaining rationality led him to immediately rush towards the weak campfire, then scramble and crawl into his makeshift shack.

Even though this place was nothing compared to Chen Baiyu's shelter, it still gave Lin Feng a little bit of a sense of security.

Standing on a tree in the distance, Chen Baiyu first scanned the once-dead bushes in the darkness.

They did not choose to continue chasing the wild boar.

Then I saw Lin Feng still terrified after returning to the makeshift camp, and the security team on night watch immediately went over to ask him what was wrong.

They had no intention of appearing in front of Lin Feng and the others.

He glanced at it twice, then disappeared into the dark jungle.

Next.

He wanted to continue deeper into Black Bamboo Gully, to reach those basalt vein areas that he had never set foot in before, areas that might contain the essence of the earth's veins.
