Chapter 204 Elimination Tournament Rules, A Dark Shadow Attracted by Fresh Lamb Liver. (Second Update, 4K)
"Bilibili"

In the local Fijian language, it means "propelling sound" and refers to "bamboo raft".

That's right, the only difference between the letters in Bilibili, a famous Chinese website, is capitalization.

The challenge posed by the Filipinos was for each contestant to create a bamboo raft that could float on water for one minute without falling apart, using raw materials, within one hour.

The first two people to complete this task will receive an exclusive resource map of the island.

Faced with this unexpected test, 3 out of 10 people immediately showed signs of difficulty.

It was clear that their wilderness raid training did not teach them how to make a sufficiently sturdy bamboo raft.

Xia Ming didn't seem to care much.

He already knew how to make bamboo rafts, but he used spirit bamboo instead of ordinary bamboo.

In the Nine Provinces Continent, when the master chef has nothing to do, he will go fishing in the river behind the mountain, and occasionally he will use a bamboo raft.

Xia Ming once asked the master why he didn't just fly into the air to fish.

The master chef smiled and said, "If you fly through the air, the fish won't take the bait."

Later, Xia Ming understood that the bamboo raft and the fishing rod served a similar purpose, except that the bait was different.

Although there are no precious threads made from animal sinews in the city, at least the Fei people didn't make the contestants start by hand-stirring ropes, which is already quite humane.

Now that the host had made the rules clear, Xia Ming had nothing to hesitate about.

After obtaining the necessary materials, Xia Ming immediately began constructing the raft.

Just as fast as him were Maka and Miao Zeyang.

Seeing that the three had started, the others followed suit.
Time passed second by second. Xia Ming took the lead in pushing the bamboo raft into the water, and then took a thin pole to use as an oar.

Seeing how quickly he did it, Fei Jiren, who was standing to the side, became a little curious.

In their eyes, Xia Ming's hands had no calluses, so he didn't look like someone who did manual labor, but he built the bamboo raft very quickly, so he definitely didn't seem like a novice.

Just as curious as they were were the viewers in the live stream.

[IP Hua: So, is it because the bamboo has become a spirit that it's stabbed so quickly?!]

["IP Eagle": Not only is it fast, but this bamboo raft is also incredibly stable; it's absolutely impossible for it to capsize!]

[“IP Kangaroo”: This contestant named Xia Ming can hunt wild boar, build bamboo rafts, and cook well too. He's pretty amazing!!!]

[IP Bear: A seemingly sturdy bamboo raft may not be effective; the final result can only be known by trying it!]

Amidst the global online discussion, Xia Ming naturally remained on the water's surface for one minute.

Judging from his relaxed demeanor, it was clear that the bamboo raft could not only pass the challenge, but was also usable normally.

After him, Maka and Miao Zeyang went into the water one after the other.

In the end, Miao Zeyang was one step behind Maka and unfortunately finished third.

Xia Ming and Maka thus obtained a map of the island.

After the two put the map away, the host began to announce the elimination rules for this round.

【Extreme Wilderness Kitchen (Elimination Round) - Feiji Island】

The contestants will land on their respective coastlines tomorrow morning and have a total of one and a half days to collect ingredients.

A day and a half later, the contestants will return to the main island of Fiji with the ingredients they have collected, where they will be assessed by the judges.

After this round, the bottom 10 contestants will be eliminated.

[Note: Players are not allowed to exchange ingredients privately in this round.]

[Note: The production team will not provide any seasonings in this round. To exchange for basic seasonings, you need to trade with the production team using the prey you hunt in this round.]

As soon as the simple rules were revealed, the contestants' expressions changed in various ways.

The inability to exchange ingredients is a huge problem for many contestants.

This means that if they want to choose goat or sea fish as the main ingredients, they must do it themselves.

After this rule was announced, many players who wanted to switch to goat meat decided to change their ingredients to shellfish, which are easier to catch.

Miao Zeyang and Maka, in particular, had their eyes light up.

In the previous round, Xia Ming's initiative to trade wild boar meat resulted in her ingredients not being unique. Although others also made mistakes later, this behavior still bothered Maka.

The program now stipulates that ingredients cannot be exchanged, which means that even if Xia Ming hunts a sheep, he can only use it for himself.

"There are a total of 50 contestants in the competition, and I estimate that no more than 6 of them can hunt sheep. Moreover, mutton is the main dish, so the judges will definitely prefer it."

Therefore, after seeing the rules, Maca determined his culinary direction.

Miao Zeyang thought the same way as Maka, but he still kept a backup plan for himself: if he didn't manage to hunt sheep, he wanted to fish in the sea.

As for Xia Ming, he didn't care whether the ingredients could be traded. After all, although no one came to cause him trouble, they still harbored suspicions from the last round.

Even if he uses the same trick again this time, not many people should fall for it.

"Instead of thinking about other people, we should first think about how to gather the necessary ingredients on the island."

Xia Ming will definitely go into the sea this time for the saltwater crocodile, but he still needs to consider how to do it "reasonably".

Nothing happened that night. In the early hours of the next day, the production team used helicopters to drop the 10 contestants, who had not eaten or drunk anything that day, to various corners of the island.

Xia Ming's spawn point is by the sea, and he carries a "plain knife", a "blood-stained weapon", a "paracord", two empty mineral water bottles, a "portable frying pan", a "simple outdoor stove", a "flint", and a "small knife".

Everything except his broadsword was packed into a small backpack.

Xia Ming spent all the points from the previous round on these things.

But he didn't feel bad at all, because he knew that only by arming himself could he solve the problem of food more easily.

At that moment, looking at the still dark sky, a red light flashed in Xia Ming's left eye.

Like most athletes, he ate a lot between 11:12 pm and midnight last night. This amount of calories will at least keep him from feeling hungry until 2 pm.

But he is different from the other contestants.

After landing at the spawn point, the first thing the others need to do is to eliminate any external threats.

Due to poor visibility and an unknown environment, most contestants would be unable to immediately begin their actions in the dark.

"For them, if they get cut by the rocks or slip on a stone, they will be at a disadvantage from the start of the competition. If they encounter wild animals, it will be an even greater crisis."

But for Xia Ming, he wouldn't have to worry about running into wild animals.

Because under the scan of the blood pupil, the color of the creature is clearly different from that of the geographical environment.

Although he couldn't completely reconstruct the terrain of the area using this, he could still roughly determine the general terrain by observing the size and shape of the inhabiting creatures.

For example, it is quite obvious that hermit crabs are perched there, so it can be inferred that there is most likely a reef over there.

Then, by listening to the direction of the sound of the waves, one can determine whether they will encounter a high tide in the middle of the night.

After making a judgment for about two minutes, Xia Ming began to move along the side.

Based on his judgment, that direction should be inland, and it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to obtain flammable resources. Using both his hearing and blood-red eyes for assessment, Xia Ming was many times faster than the others.

While they were still exploring their surroundings little by little, Xia Ming had already found several coconut trees.

They also collected fallen coconut leaves from under the coconut trees and found coconut fiber by groping around.

Xia Ming quickly lit a fire around the coconut tree.

As Xia Ming's live stream room was illuminated by the warm firelight, the netizens watching the live stream late at night were completely stunned.

[IP Hua: They've only been ashore for less than 15 minutes, and they've already started a fire? That's incredible efficiency!]

[“IP Eagle”: I don’t know how he can so accurately avoid rocks in the dark; it’s like he’s wearing night vision goggles.]

["IP Kangaroo": It must be a natural sixth sense developed from long periods of wandering in the wilderness; some of our hunters have that too.]

[IP Bear: It's too cold at the beach. If we start a fire, we should quickly make a torch, then move to a sheltered place and wait for dawn!]

[IP Hua: They're already way ahead. I just saw Maca finish assessing his status and start moving.]

[IP Feng: Miao Zeyang's side is really fierce. Judging from his appearance, he's prepared to hold out around the reef until dawn!]

Unaware that so many netizens were still online in the middle of the night, Xia Ming quickly found a tree branch and began making a torch.

Although he possessed a blood spirit within his body and was not afraid of the slight cold, he hoped to find a suitable place to rest before dawn.

After all, he needs to hunt intensely during the day, and he can't possibly spend most of his time setting up a temporary dwelling.

Therefore, his requirements for a habitat were very simple: just a safe, seaside cave would suffice.

Around this coastline, it shouldn't be hard to find temporary accommodations that meet this requirement.

Sure enough, with the combined power of his blood-red eyes and the torch, he quickly found a hollow cave about 2 meters above the ground on the shore.

Judging from his blood-red eyes, there were only some small insects gathered in this place. Xia Ming lit a fire with palm leaves and then used the smoke to fumigate the cave.

The little insects that couldn't stand it left on their own, while those that could were quietly sent to their deaths by Xia Ming under the smoke.

So, as dawn broke, Xia Ming was already setting up a makeshift bed inside the cave, which had been lit with fire.

The highly efficient netizens almost thought Xia Ming was playing a survival game with cheat codes, and they flocked to the live stream to find his weaknesses.

However, Xia Ming's every step was logical, and netizens could not accuse him of rigging the case simply because his actions were precise.

I can only stay in the live stream and see what his next plans are.

Xia Ming had already opened the map in the cave.

He had memorized the locations of several key points, and now he needed to determine roughly which area of ​​the island he was in by observing the positions of the reefs he had observed along the way.

"It should be this point, or this point."

Xia Ming found two possibilities, and without a moment's hesitation, he headed toward the goat's habitat in the dim light of dawn.

He only needs to walk a short distance to be able to determine whether he is exactly in the goat's territory.

As he moved, he soon came to a hillside covered with dense foliage. At that moment, under his blood-red eyes, he clearly saw the color of a goat.

"Looks like I'm in luck~ This is where the game started!"

Xia Ming was delighted, and then pulled out the wooden sticks he had collected and sharpened along the way.

This is a hunting tool that he improved upon from the "spear" commonly used by the locals, which is made by the locals using hardwood from the Feiji region and stone chips.

Xia Ming simply sharpened the wooden stick to a very fine point; he did not use any stone slabs.

The reason is simple: with his current strength, he doesn't need stone fragments to penetrate his prey.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Ming quietly approached the black goat.
The goats, still foraging for food, were unaware of Xia Ming's approach and continued to nibble on the tender buds around them.

Once Xia Ming reached a range where he could attack, he calmed his breathing and quietly began to wait.

He didn't think he couldn't hit the target; rather, he needed to make the goat completely give up resistance after making his move.

Listening to the drone's sound in the distance, Xia Ming waited for the goat to turn to the side.

A few seconds later, the opportunity arose. Xia Ming hurled the wooden javelin in his hand, and with a howl from a goat, he strode forward.

"What—"

Amidst screams of agony, the goat, carrying a javelin, began to flee inwards.

The road was very rugged; an ordinary person would definitely lose their way.

However, Xia Ming only needs to follow the Blood Soul to search, and he doesn't have this problem. His efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people.

After running for about a few hundred meters, the goat stumbled and slipped to the ground.

Without hesitation, Xia Ming went over and swiftly took its life with a swift stroke of his blade.

Its smoothness even made netizens wonder if they were watching a meticulously rehearsed video.

But the javelin that hit the lung on the black goat's side of its chest serves as a reminder to netizens that it is all real.

"Main island, inside the resort hotel"

Mina was quite astonished as she watched Xia Ming skillfully bleed the goat on the screen.

Xia Ming's knowledge of the wilderness far exceeded her imagination. The three wild boars before perfectly demonstrated his combat prowess, and now the javelin can demonstrate his speed and agility.

Looking at Xia Ming's handsome profile on the screen, Mina picked up a rambutan that had already been opened on the table and slowly stuck out her tongue to lick it.

The atmosphere in Warren's room on the same floor was not so ambiguous.

At this moment, Valen was seen skillfully operating a website labeled "YunJianKe logo".

Soon, with his clicks, 600 million rupees (approximately 49 RMB) were quickly placed on "Kouyama Seizo".

After finishing everything, he looked up at Xia Ming, who was dragging the goat down the hillside, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face.

"This is so boring, no one has placed a bet on 'Xia Ming' for several rounds in a row! Yun Jianke is being too random."

Unbeknownst to him, the one controlling the backend was none other than the owl.

I didn't earn enough in the last "New Chef Competition," so my vacation was ruined.

To make up for the above, Owl took on the job of "Extreme Wilderness Kitchen", but unexpectedly encountered an old rival as soon as the show started.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and the owl waved its hand.
They banned Xia Ming directly.
"What a joke! Anyone can make money, why get angry over a cook!"

Of course, he didn't go too far. He just used the excuse that the "Cloud Guest" backstage would randomly select certain matches in the rounds to secretly hide Xia Ming away.

As for what to do when there are fewer people later, we'll deal with that then.
"It would be best if some kind of accident happened, giving this kid Xia Ming a good beating. As long as he withdraws from the competition, the problem will be solved!"

Just as the owl was cursing Xia Ming
In the footage, Xia Ming has already removed the lamb liver and cut it into small pieces.

Then, he took the sheep's entrails to a spot on the shore that he had his eye on.

Then he took out the fishing line from the paracord, made a simple fishing rod with a bamboo pole, and cast it into the sea in front of him.

Under his blood-red eyes, Xia Ming saw several sea catfish rush towards his bait after smelling the blood.

Behind them, the shadows that had been hunting them swam along as well.
