One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Zhang Chulan immediately swore and stood up abruptly:

"This isn't a fight, it's forcing us to play a high-IQ werewolf game!"

"In other words, we can't just attack any other team we encounter on the island. What if we accidentally hit the wrong person and suffer divine retribution?!"

"Chu Lan's analysis is very accurate."

Zhuge Qing tapped his fan, his eyes becoming extremely sharp:

"Not only that. If we successfully eliminate our prey and obtain the token, then our target will automatically shift to the prey of the team we just eliminated."

"As the competition progresses, weaker teams are eliminated, and the playing field shrinks. The surviving teams will face increasingly stronger opponents!"

"It's like raising poisonous insects; in the end, only the most venomous ones will survive!"

On the screen, Takeda delivered his final concluding remarks:

"As for how to determine the final winner?"

"At the very center of Paradise Island stands the [Takamagahara Shrine], shrouded in a defensive barrier."

"On the fifth day of the competition, the temple's barrier will open a single passage."

"To enter the temple, your team must possess at least three divine tokens!"

"In other words, besides keeping your own tokens, you must successfully complete at least two hunts!"

"The first team to reach the top of the temple with a sufficient number of tokens and embed them into the throne will immediately declare the competition over and become the overall champion of this tournament!"

"And that drop of the [Longevity Elixir] is placed on the throne!"

"Happy hunting, everyone."

The screen flickered, and Takeda's image disappeared.

Inside the cabin, several young contestants looked at each other, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.

Only Zhang Tianyi.

He was holding a bottle of ice-cold cola, slurping it down happily through the straw.

"Hiccup~"

Zhang Tianyi burped over a soda, looking at the group of younger people with furrowed brows, his face full of disappointment and frustration.

"What's there to worry about? Everyone looks so miserable, like they're going to their execution."

"Master, these rules are outrageous!"

Zhang Chulan complained with a long face, "We're in the open, and the enemy is in the shadows. What if we get ambushed by several teams working together..."

"What a load of rubbish."

Zhang Tianyi rolled her eyes and casually crushed the can:

"Rules are made for the weak. Besides, aren't you the king of cunning? Who can outsmart you?"

"Hehe, am I really that outstanding, sir?"

Hearing his advisor give him such high praise, Zhang Chulan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing exchanged a glance.

vomit!

You actually threw up, and instead of being ashamed, you're proud of it?! Can you believe it?!

Just then.

A soft click sounded on the metal table in the center of the cabin.

A hidden compartment popped open.

Inside, five silver-gray bracelets and an ancient jade talisman emitting a faint glow were neatly arranged.

An electronic voice came over the loudspeaker:

"Please have the five official members of the Chinese team bind their blood to the Divine Forbidden Bracelet. Once the contract is established, the bracelet will be unremovable and the rules will automatically take effect."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan instinctively put his thumb in his mouth, preparing to bite his finger and drip blood to signify the bond between them.

"Snapped!"

Before Zhang Chulan's teeth could even hit his skin...

He was hit on the back of the head, which knocked him forward.

"Ouch! Master, why did you hit me?" Zhang Chulan covered his head and turned around with a wronged look.

"Are you brain-dead? Where did your usual shrewdness go?"

Zhang Tianyi stood up from his seat, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness and vigilance.

"The Japanese devils gave you this, and you just bleed because they told you to? Aren't you afraid they might be hiding some insidious curse here?"

"Back in North China, what these Yin-Yang Masters loved to do most was cast curses that would kill off their entire family line using their own blood!"

Zhang Tianyi ignored the stunned group of people.

He walked directly to the table, extended his index and middle fingers, and gently tapped the five bracelets.

"crystal!"

In an instant.

A faint, purplish-gold arc of lightning, almost invisible to the naked eye, traveled along Zhang Tianyi's fingertip, like countless fine probes, and pierced directly into the bracelet's interior!

Under Zhang Tianyi's unparalleled perception.

He could see the array inside the bracelet, and even the tracking runes hidden inside, clearly from the inside out!

A full five seconds passed.

The lightning at Zhang Tianyi's fingertips slowly dissipated.

He withdrew his hand, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with a hint of boredom:

"Those bastards are smart. There's no deadly curse hidden inside, just a simple location device. Plus, it has a contractual binding force connecting it to the island's grand formation."

"Alright, check complete. Everyone, put them on."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan and the others were finally relieved.

With this living Yama (a notorious figure in Chinese mythology) personally conducting the security check, the bracelet is definitely clean.

The five people took turns biting their fingertips and dripping their blood onto the bracelet.

A flash of light appeared, and the bracelet automatically retracted, fastening tightly to their wrists.

A red code appeared on the screen:

[Target: Team Thailand]!

"Hey! Are our prey those people who practice black magic?" Zhang Chulan glanced at the bracelet and grinned.

The moment the bracelet was successfully paired.

The helicopter suddenly shook violently.

The cabin announcement came on again:

"We have reached the airspace above Paradise Island! Prepare for airdrop!"

Everyone turned to look out the window.

On the vast ocean, a massive island appeared, upside down by a huge, semi-transparent energy barrier.

That's the divine barrier!

"Click-click-click!"

The tail door of the aircraft was flung open by the gale.

A strong gust of air rushed in instantly, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

"All contestants, please jump out of the cabin immediately!" the mechanical voice urged.

Zhang Chulan peeked down and saw that it was hundreds of meters in the air!

Below is a dense primeval forest!

"Holy crap?! Where's the parachute?! Aren't they going to issue parachutes?!"

Zhang Chulan gripped the hatch handle tightly, the wind distorting his face.

"You need equipment to skydive? Have you wasted all those years of your spiritual practice?"

Wang Ye sighed helplessly, too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

A Qimen formation flashed beneath my feet.

"The character '巽' (Xun) and the wind symbol!"

A gentle whirlwind lifted his body up, and Wang Ye, like a falling leaf, was the first to lightly leap out of the cabin.

Zhuge Qing followed closely behind, opened his folding fan, and several lifelike wooden oxen and flowing horses took shape under his feet. He stepped on the mechanical creations and leaped down gracefully.

Zhang Lingyu was even more straightforward and brutal. His whole body burst with golden light, like a golden meteor, and he plummeted straight down despite the wind pressure.

Chen Duo turned around and gave Zhang Tianyi a sweet look: "Master, I'm going."

"Go on, girl, be careful." Zhang Tianyi waved with a smile.

Chen Duo nodded, a purple arc of lightning dancing on her fingertips.

Following Zhang Tianyi's method, she transformed the thunder energy into a fine electric net beneath her feet and lightly leaped into the sea of ​​clouds.

Inside the cabin, only Zhang Chulan remained, clinging desperately to the door frame.

"Master! I'm afraid of heights!!!" Zhang Chulan wailed.

Zhang Tianyi walked over, holding a half-finished can of cola in his hand, a chilling smile on his face.

"Good luck, grandson. Don't fall flat on your face and become a bloody mess, or you'll embarrass me."

After saying that, Zhang Tianyi raised his foot without any politeness.

He kicked Zhang Chulan squarely in the butt!
