Who gave this heretical practitioner permission to cook?

Chapter 222 The situation shifts in an unpredictable direction; Xia Ming underwater is attacked from both sides (Second Update)

[Kiyoshi Koyama's undercover identity is exposed.]

[Losing his identity as a silver-ringed snake, he becomes a free spirit in the wilderness once more]

【.】

Early in the morning, Koyama Seizo woke up and looked at the staff who surrounded him with a blank expression.

At that moment, he felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.
Before going to sleep, he was still planning how to kill his prey with a small knife, then stay in the tribe and survive until the day he could make it to the wilderness kitchen.

Was he discovered just 8 hours later?

"No, who could possibly see through my flawless plan?"

He carefully recalled the scene from yesterday, and in his mind, his lie was flawless the moment that crossbow bolt hit the ground!
The raid has already confirmed it! How could they have been discovered so quickly?
However, the production team could not tell him the truth and could only take him out of the tribe according to the procedure.

Just as Koyama Seizo was being taken away, Xia Ming leaned lazily against the side of a local wooden house.

Beside him, Li Yuan stared wide-eyed.

"Damn, it really is just like you said. No, how could you have imagined that he was a snake and was playing an undercover game inside?"

As she spoke, Li Yuan glanced at Maca, who had accidentally brushed against her earlier.

Behind Maka, almost everyone who had attended the meeting was present.

Xia Ming woke everyone up this morning so that they could verify the authenticity of Gu Shan Qing San.

At that moment, Xia Ming smiled slightly.

"Do you remember the arrow from yesterday? It shot out red powder. It matched the one from Koyama Seizo back then, but the area it spread out was different."

"This arrow could spread out in a large circle when it hit the ground, so why did it only leave a clear mark on Koyama Seizo?"

"It could only have happened if he and Roy were standing very close together, or if he had stabbed himself with an arrow."

"He himself said that he saw the rules first, so how could someone who knows the rules possibly stand so close to Roy?"

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore~"

Xia Ming certainly knew more information, but he had no intention of wasting time on an undercover agent arranged by the production team.

The people standing nearby also realized what Xia Ming meant after hearing his words. Indeed, as he said, Gu Shanqing's behavior was wrong.

"Damn it! He even tricked us out of a knife, he got off easy!"

Miao Zeyang clenched his fist in anger.

Mori Kami, standing to the side, smiled and spoke up.

"Never mind, it's all part of the production team's job."

Although he said that, his eyes clearly didn't reflect that.

Miao Zeyang, standing to the side, felt that he understood Mori's gaze. He felt quite guilty at the moment, thinking that it was because he had brought Mori into the room that Mori had been deceived.

So, this guy patted his chest and said he would help Mori.

"I'll catch some fish for you first, then I'll go up the mountain and take a look."

Mori looked slightly surprised, then quickly refused, which only emboldened Miao Zeyang.

Standing nearby, Xia Ming looked at Miao Zeyang's expression and almost burst out laughing.

This guy got tricked in the New Chef Competition and still hasn't learned his lesson; now he's fallen for someone's honey trap.

"No matter how talented you are in cooking, you'll never learn your lesson in this lifetime!"

Xia Ming is not Miao Zeyang's father, so he has no obligation to teach him about the dangers of society.

Li Yuan, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but since Miao Zeyang and Mori Shangmei had already left, he didn't say anything more.

Astor and Maka also indicated that they were going to start their hunting missions. They both happened to have chosen to be hunters, and there was no conflict between them before the Wilderness Kitchen opened.

Li Yuan chose a fisherman and had met Xia Ming a few times before. He invited Xia Ming to fish with him and offered to split the profits 46/50.

Xia Ming smiled and declined.
Because of what he wanted to attack, Li Yuan might not dare to make a move.
"At the edge of the beach," Koyama Seizo thought for a long time before finally realizing that something was wrong.

"They must have noticed the problem with the markings back then, but...who was it?"

After carefully considering everyone's performance that day, Koyama Seizo quickly focused his attention on Xia Ming.

"It should be you who's running away. Wait for me to go and get the knife back. First, make sure you're identified, and then we'll settle our score slowly."

He is now a wilderness freelancer, and he needs to provide the production team with food every few hours, otherwise he will be eliminated.

But when he went back to look for his knife, he discovered that it was gone.
After repeatedly confirming the location, Koyama Seizo let out a desperate roar!

"No, who did this? Where's the knife?! How could the knife be gone?"

Feeling a bit numb, Koyama Seizo looked at the only small knife he had left and felt extremely agitated.

In the end, after much thought, he decided to go to the sea and retrieve something first.

Just as he was walking towards the sea, Xia Ming came to the coastline alone.

His goal today is to catch a bunch of sea fish and, incidentally, cause trouble for a few sharks.

Taking off his coat, Xia Ming went straight into the seawater.
The shallow waters of Thailand are extremely rich in resources. Xia Ming brought underwater live streaming equipment and quickly found the school of fish.

He didn't have a harpoon, so he decided to collect some scallops and snails first, then play around with them for a while before making one.

This also justifies multiple dives.
Unbeknownst to him, while he was swimming in the sea searching for various ingredients, the rescue team's boat, which had been left unattended nearby, was quietly destroyed by scorpions.

Then, he found a secluded spot, changed into a diving suit, and then, carrying a detector and a jammer, swam towards Xia Ming.

Meanwhile, in the jungle on the shore, a man with a centipede-shaped scar on his face was quietly lurking behind a rock.

"Centipede, what you need to do is to defensively guard the target sea surface."

"If anything happens to the scorpion, kill the person who surfaces in the water immediately."

The centipede replied with an "Mm," without asking whether it would shoot if a scorpion emerged.

After all, having joined the "Scavengers" faction in Myanmar, he saw people no differently than livestock.
Just as the net had been cast to trap Xia Ming on the beach, Xia Ming, who was holding his breath underwater using his Blood Soul, finally found traces of the shark.

But just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a strange sound in the water through his left ear.

He was extremely sensitive to the sound of the Soul River Fish's thrusting attack, and sensing something was wrong, he instantly made a desperate dodge in the water.

In that instant, he dodged the spearhead fired by the lurking scorpion, but the camera on his forehead was suddenly shattered, and the debris drifted into the water.

Seeing Xia Ming's nimble movements, Scorpion secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.

He only hesitated for a moment before throwing away his harpoon and lunging at Xia Ming, a man accustomed to being an assassin.

Xia Ming immediately understood that this person who had appeared out of nowhere was there to kill him.
Looking at the live-streaming equipment parts floating in the sea, and thinking about the AI ​​drone camera some distance above his head, Xia Ming no longer had any worries.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to provoke me, you're just unlucky."

After thinking it over, Xia Ming not only didn't run away, but also rushed towards the scorpion.

Scorpion was caught off guard by Xia Ming's lack of intention to escape. In his panic, he was struck first by Xia Ming. A flash of red light appeared, and Scorpion felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.

But he quickly put aside the pain in his head and charged at Xia Ming with all his might.

Xia Ming was not to be outdone, unleashing his full blood soul power, determined to extract enough blood soul power from the scorpion with every strike.

Just as the two were locked in combat, Koyama Seizo inexplicably appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

He had originally come to collect some seafood, but he was completely stunned when he saw this scene.
His first thought was that the two players below were fighting, and he wanted to come over and try to stop them. But when he saw that one of them was Xia Ming, he felt a surge of anger.

His face twitched slightly, then he resolutely abandoned the rescue and turned to float on the water.

Just as he surfaced above the water in Xiaming, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out. He felt his body shudder, his vision was stained red with blood, and then he instantly lost consciousness.

At this moment, Xia Ming, who was engaged in a fierce underwater battle, had gained the upper hand, and it looked like the scorpion was about to be sucked into a daze.

But at that moment, pale red blood began to spread in the water.
Xia Ming instantly noticed that the sharks, which had been relatively docile at first, were now all swarming around him, drawn by the smell of blood.
"Heh. It really is a case of being attacked from both sides."
