382: Chapter 0382: Isolation by the Geniuses 382: Chapter 0382: Isolation by the Geniuses Long Fei’s eyes swept through the dense forest, where it was pitch-black, yet he could see everything within a hundred ters with crystal clarity.
It was as if he wore night-vision goggles; any animal with body heat couldn’t escape his sight.
In his hand, he held a pointed sword stance, with a silver needle wedged between his fingers.
After he and Fat Wang ventured about a dozen ters deeper, Long Fei suddenly waved his hand.
A snap sound was heard, and a Spotted Snake over two ters long was pinned to a tree by the silver needle in Long Fei’s hand.
The silver needle had pierced the brain of the Spotted Snake, killing it instantly.
Fat Wang shone the flashlight over and, seeing such a long snake, was so frightened that all the hairs on his body stood on end.
He looked at his brother-in-law in amazent and, after a while, watched from a distance as Long Fei pulled out the silver needle.
Fat Wang was certain that his cheap brother-in-law must have mastered the Sunflower Manual.
Otherwise, how could his needle technique be so formidable?
Thinking this, no wonder his sister wasn’t jealous—it seed like they had beco sisters now.
His mind wandered for a mont before Long Fei commanded, “Take this snake with us, we’ll roast it to eat later!”
Fat Wang had been scared of these creatures since he was a child; he couldn’t even bear to look at them, much less touch them.
With a miserable face, he pleaded, “Brother-in-law, please spare !”
Long Fei chastised, “Didn’t you say others look down on you?
Instead of just complaining, why don’t you do sothing to prove yourself?”
Fat Wang hung his head in dejection and before he could respond, Long Fei hung the long snake around his neck like a scarf.
A chilling sensation swept over him, causing Fat Wang’s body to break out in goosebumps.
His legs nearly gave out from fear as he closed his eyes and muttered, “I must be strong, I must earn others’ respect!”
He persevered, and after less than fifty ters further with Long Fei, he was already carrying a wild chicken in each hand.
With a long snake hanging from his neck and a rabbit tied to his waist, he finally erged from the dense forest with Long Fei.
Once on the beach, Fat Wang held his breath, and like a victorious general returning from battle, he boldly swung the Spotted Snake around his neck and proudly showed it off to the others.
The group gawked, wondering if these two were primitive n; how could they go hunting in the woods as soon as they arrived?
After returning, the two sat down in front of the campfire.
Long Fei took out a sharp knife from his bag, gutted the animals, washed them clean in seawater, and then strung them on bamboo sticks to roast over the fire.
In his bag, he also had cumin and salt ready.
As the at sizzled and was roasted to dium, he sprinkled it with salt and cumin.
A rich aroma of at wafted through the air, making the mouths of the group in front water.
Canned beef could not compare to fresh at, especially when the fresh at was pure, wild ga.
Although drooling, these proud geniuses were too disdainful to scrounge for a al.
Li Zhenni, however, had no such reservations; her legs carried her over to sit by Long Fei’s side, eyeing the barbequed at, “Can I join you?”
“Of course!”
Long Fei answered with a smile, gesturing for Fat Wang to pass a jug to Li Zhenni.
Moutai liquor paired with ga at was the way to truly enjoy it.
Snake at was thin-skinned and tender, perfect for grilling.
Long Fei cut a piece for Li Zhenni.
Li Zhenni also felt sowhat queasy about such reptiles but still took a slice to taste.
She had eaten snake at before but never had it grilled directly like today.
As she braced herself and took a bite, the flavor of the at hit her, infused with a wild taste that was surprisingly delicious.
After swallowing, her throat made a gurgling sound twice.
She lifted the wine jug and clinked it against Long Fei’s, asking him, “Why aren’t you hanging out with everyone else?”
Long Fei joked, “I have a big appetite, it wouldn’t be fair to eat with everyone.”
Li Zhenni was amused by his self-deprecating excuse, not expecting him to co up with such a way of ruining his own image.
She could tell that Long Fei was a proud person.
When proud people et others like themselves, naturally, they can’t blend together in a short period of ti.
After the rabbit was cooked, Li Zhenni didn’t wait for Long Fei to do anything; she tore off a piece of the hind leg and started eating.
Compared to the girls Long Fei knew, she had more of a wild beauty about her.
Her athletic muscles were well-proportioned and strong, with a perfect set of abs, like those of a female leopard.
The sea breeze brushed against the face, and the waves rolled.
The moonlight over the sea was extraordinarily bright.
If it weren’t for the expedition, this would have been a pretty good camping party.
Everyone was pulling in all directions, chatting rrily when suddenly—
A series of rapid gunshots burst from the forest, like firecrackers, crackling away, jarringly loud on the quiet island.
The restful birds and beasts were startled into flight by the gunfire, rustling ceaselessly in the woods.
“Be on your guard!”
Vice-Captain Yang Gang sprang to his feet and ordered weapons to be distributed imdiately.
A few guns were handed out to the professional mbers, all retired special forces, experts in handling firearms.
Fat Wang grabbed an engineer shovel and found a Dongying longsword for Long Fei.
Pulling it out, the blade was nacing, very stylish indeed.
Although Long Fei had reservations about the Dongying people, he had to admit their sword craftsmanship was impressive.
Hand-forged, with beautiful water ripples on it that only co from repeated tempering.
The gunshots stopped for a while, and the forest returned to silence.
The faces of the crowd instantly grew somber; this group of unknown origins was actually ard with guns.
From their landing point, it was clear that there were people adept at navigating the seas among them, not just any ordinary group.
Li Zhenni went over to discuss with Yang Gang and pulled out a map to determine their route.
The others set up tents, and aside from a few older experts, everyone was assigned a watch duty.
They did not count Long Fei and Fat Wang as part of the team; they were just there to fill in numbers.
The two were happy to have their freedom, eating all the ga they caught and finding a tent left by soone else to crawl into.
Inside the tent was a peculiar scent.
Fat Wang sniffed and said, “Brother-in-law, this scent is so nice!
Could it be that the person living here was a woman?”
“Possibly!”
Long Fei nodded, placed the Dongying sword above his head, and lay down, using the weapon as a pillow.
Fat Wang found a comfortable position to lie down and sighed, “What’s with won nowadays?
Instead of staying at ho to care for the family, they run wild around the world.
I bet the person leading that group ahead of us is also a woman.”
Long Fei just laughed but was not interested in these things.
He had co here to help Chu Feng and wasn’t looking to gain anything for himself.
When it ca down to it, he only needed to take care of Fat Wang and Li Zhenni.
The others, forget it; Long Fei hadn’t planned on making friends with them, and they weren’t interested in him.
