Chapter 193 Xia Ming chases the wild boar, each contestant makes their choice, Mori Kami's revealing scene... (2K Second Update)
Unlike the seasons in China, New Zealand is in early autumn at the end of February.

At this time, wild boars will begin to forage frantically to accumulate fat in order to prepare for the winter that will arrive in two months.

Coincidentally, the local "kava berries", "fern root vegetables", and "pine nuts" are also ripe.

They would search for these things all over the mountains.

But generally speaking, they are "family members".

That is, 4 to 10 heads go out together for a stroll.

Or it could be a "bachelor alliance," where 2 to 4 people go out together.

But around March, the "bachelor alliance" and "families" will mix together, creating a short-lived "mixed group".

At this time, locals will witness the spectacular sight of more than a dozen wild boars charging in.

Of course, there are also lone pigs.

Most of these are piglets that are about to reach adulthood or are still young.

Occasionally, they will break away from the group and try to find a place where the wilderness meets the jungle to dig up some sweet potatoes to eat.

Although they are not strong, they are quick-witted, agile, and know how to avoid humans.

Xia Ming felt that the little guy he was currently encountering was just like that.

"Judging from the distance, it must be several hundred steps away. I need to get there quickly."

He casually tore off a piece of "kava leaf", rubbed it in his hand, and quickly applied the crushed leaf to his off-road clothing.

Without caring whether it was even or not, he quickly rushed towards the wild boar.

Just as Xia Ming spotted the wild boar, the second group of contestants also set off.

Li Yuan and Gu Shanqing were among them. Because they each had some "cultivation" skills, the spears they faced yesterday did not pose a challenge.

At this moment, the two made a different choice than the previous three.

Seizo Koyama's target is shellfish and crayfish. He was born in Okimori, the "Island of the Rising Sun," where the local culture of "Ama" (female divers) and "Children of the Sea" has been around since childhood.

In this environment, Seizo Koyama honed his exceptional diving skills.

Even without equipment, they can still thrive in coastal diving areas.

More importantly, his assistant, "Yi Mei Hui," told him that there are near-shore lobsters in the waters off the New Zealand tribe.

"Unlike the 'Sunrise Island,' this reef area is home to both 'red rock lobsters' and 'green rock lobsters.'"

"They live in the reef area between the tidal zone and 100 meters deep, and are more abundant in the red rocks of the South Island."

"More importantly, March is their breeding season, and it is very likely that you can find lobsters 'carrying eggs' around the sea."

Koyama Seizo was very satisfied with this, as it greatly reduced the difficulty of obtaining his ingredients.

As the "main chef" of the "Island of the Rising Sun," he believed that in the seafood world, no one among the contestants could rival him.

In contrast, Li Yuan was very interested in the ferns he had eaten the day before.

Through his agent, Tsuna Tamori, he decided to use local rabbits and bracken fern from New Zealand to create a unique and flavorful dish.

Just 10 minutes after the two set off, the third group also set off.

"Carlyle", "McGrady", and "Ariel" are all on this team.

Among them, "Carlyle" had learned about the local culture during his service and knew that wild boar meat was of great significance in this area.

Thus, he became the third contestant, after Xia Ming and Ma Ka, to set his sights on wild boars.

As for Maddie and Aretha, they both chose shellfish.

Shortly after they left, the fourth group set off.

There are two particularly eye-catching contestants. The first is "Miao Zeyang" from China. He is the youngest contestant in this season of Wilderness Kitchen, and also the least experienced.

As a "Level 2 Chinese" chef, he seemed insignificant in the face of a group of world-class chefs.

But unlike these specially invited guests, he was selected after going through a rigorous preliminary round.

During the qualifiers, his performance garnered support from a number of Chinese netizens.

At this moment, he chose the safest option, "grains," because he knew that he was not at an advantage among this group, whether in physical combat or in a battle of experience.

Choosing a niche product category can help you avoid competing with others and is a safer bet.

The second one is "Mori no Mi" from the island of sunrise. As a female chef in a wilderness kitchen, whenever she is mentioned in the comments, the most frequently asked question is about her ID number.

Thanks to the extensive search efforts of netizens, they actually discovered a mysterious code name related to it.

"KM·HRS-0"

As her number was revealed, she, who had never been popular before, suddenly gained widespread recognition because of her past.

Well, all I can say is that she's good-looking, and the fact that she already has a husband gives her certain qualities that other contestants simply can't match.

The production team probably also considered that the three rough-looking men in the previous two seasons were not attractive enough to the majority of male viewers.

So they specifically brought in "Moriue Mi" to attract attention.

Miyako Morishita understood the responsibility she bore, so among all the contestants today, her outfit was the most revealing.

Those shorts and tops make it seem more like they're on a picnic than attending a Wilderness Kitchen event.

But netizens just love it.
Online, you can watch videos of beautiful women cooking and providing services; offline, you can watch the videos and fantasize about those same women continuing to provide the same services.
It can only be said that "Sunrise Island," by adding this name, has gained a new level of insight into the concept of "playing on the edge" in live streaming.

While the live stream was discussing which type of fungus to choose for "Mori Shangmei", the other contestants started their journey one after another.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, Roy, who had been waiting on the side, was ready to set off.

At this moment, he had a bruise on his right cheek, and although he had applied medicine, he still looked very disheveled.

This is the "merit" he left behind yesterday while wielding his spear.

The laughter of the chestnut people from that time still lingers in his ears.

"Damn savages."

After cursing fiercely, he didn't dare to delay and walked towards the sea. Born on the island of Hawaii, he naturally had his own understanding of the sea.

Just as the contestants were setting off one after another, Xia Ming had already followed the little wild boar in front of him over a hill.

Without a dog to assist him, he can only approach the boar quickly by activating Blood Soul.

However, he did not choose to do so in the short term, but quietly followed behind, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

The viewers in the live stream were a little stunned by Xia Ming's actions.

They believed that it would be more reliable to follow an adult wild boar than a small one.

But Xia Ming also had his own ideas.

"In addition to locals, the judging panel also includes judges from other places. The final dish cannot only conform to the locals' habits and ignore the feelings of the other judges."

Yes, Xia Ming can use the "Blood Fusion Demon Cultivation Method" to extract blood souls, greatly reducing the bloodiness, but he cannot completely avoid the earthy smell.

Relatively speaking, sub-adult pigs are more suitable for his food needs.

Moreover, there was another reason why he hadn't used Blood Soul to accelerate and catch up.

"At your age, even if you're not in a family group chat, you should at least have two siblings, right?"
