Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 837 – The Survival Of The Fittest
An uninhabited island less than 10 kilometers wide and covered by forested hills is visible in the vast ocean. The highest peak is almost 100 meters high and is full of lush vegetation all year round due to the tropical climate.
“Let's on the island!”
After the passenger ship docked on the beach, Tang Xiu floated to walk in the air as he led on land on the island under surveillance, appearing shocked and enthusiastic, the prisoners who were observing him. Mo Awu and the others followed closely and stood in rows on the beach. As for the prisoners purchased, they were like a scattered swarm of bees rushing towards the shoreline.
With his hands folded behind his back, Tang Xiu stood in the air and said in a deep voice, “Awu, I will give you two days to organize your team of eleven people. I want to see them orderly with strict discipline implemented. Of course, you don't need to pay attention to anyone if they dare to break your orders. Tell Me who they are and I'll make them die here. ”
Mo Awu knew that Tang Xiu wanted to eliminate a group of people here, so he purposely asked loudly, “Bos, do you want to drill them like elite special forces, or do you want them to train as they want once in a while ? ”
Tang Xiu instantly caught Mo Awu's core and shouted in a deep voice, “All of Tang Xiu's men have been, and will always be, powerful elite warriors. You all know the rules of the weak — jungle are just prey for the strong. It's survival of the fittest. And now, I'm not going to hide anything from you all. Except for the three dead, there are still 197 people left. But the amount I can bring from this island will not exceed 150, because there will be too many people. In other words, if too many people are unable to adapt to My training, no more than 100 of you will be able to let this uninhabited island stay alive. ”
A burly black man hurriedly asked, “We want to know the elimination criteria, Boss.”
“You just asked a good question,” Tang Xiu said happily. “Elimination criteria are actually very simple. Those who disobey orders, slack in training, kill each other, and attempt to escape will all be eliminated! ”
“How about the final elimination criteria, Boss?” Quickly asked the burly black man again. “Will we not be judged according to our respective combat strength?”
“Assessing individual combat strength is too superficial of an assessment, as there are some stronger and weaker individuals among all of you,” Tang Xiu said contemptuously. “If my memory is correct, some of you are just ordinary people but are quite competent in some aspects beyond individual combat prowess. It's just disrespect for these talented people if you just eliminate them based on these criteria. ”
At this moment, almost everyone understood Tang Xiu and firmly memorized the four elimination criteria mentioned by Tang Xiu in their minds and adhered loudly.
Tang Xiu then looked at Specter and lightly said, “You shouldn't take part in training. Follow me to walk around the island. I need to use the array formation to hide our tracks. ”
Array formation?
Spectre vibrates inside. He had heard about the term of this array from legends and had also witnessed its power. Back when he was still in prison, Tang Xiu finally used an array to trap him inside.
Two days later.
Tang Xiu had covered the entire island with an array formation. The island would have seemed uninhabited had outsiders seen it from the outside; they would not have been able to see anything inside. Spectre had nothing but shock after seeing the Illusion Array. Tang Xiu's knowledge and expertise in array formation made him admire Tang Xiu even more. He could not wait to obtain such cultivation techniques and possess these mysterious abilities as well.
“Not bad.”
When Tang Xiu returned to the front of the crowd with Specter, he looked satisfied after seeing the five rows of regular people. These wild and unruly convicts turned out to be able to work with each other. They work hard and train earnestly, even under the threat of death. Even Mo Awu and the others had already achieved Tang Xiu's goal of teaching these people knowledge about acupoints and meridians.
Instilling and transmitting the cultivation technique itself was an easy and simple matter, but due to the large number of people, Tang Xiu still had to spend a few days to impart the cultivation technique to everyone.
The beach.
Tang Xiu floated in the air and shouted in a deep voice, “I've already given you what I should teach you. I don't care what special ability you once had, but know that I will give this medicinal pill to the first 10 people who reach the early stages of Qi Refining. Remember, only 10 people! So, work hard! ”
10 people?
Everyone's spirit immediately soared high and a stern look could be seen in their eyes. Being stronger and being able to fly in the sky like Tang Xiu was something they yearned for. They secretly decided to cultivate it all out and fight to compete for the top ten spots.
In the days that followed, the training sessions were very difficult. Although Tang Xiu gave everyone a few hours to feel the flow of energy every day, most of the time was still spent on physical exercise.
After 10 days had passed, the overwhelming physical fitness training made these people suffer greatly, both physically and mentally. Even some of them were unable to hold on and tried to escape, causing Tang Xiu to wipe them out emotionlessly.
20 Days later, the survivors gradually adapt to the inhumane training. Although the amount of training continued to increase every 2 days, they were able to survive.
Unfortunately, there were only five people who could sense the flow of energy in their bodies and control the flow of qi according to the circulation route of the cultivation technique, setting foot into the early stages of Qi Refining. These five people were Spectre, Ammos, Ammosai, Zhang Xiaohua, and the latter was a great shock to Tang Xiu, Chen Yan.
“Are you sure you can control the flow of qi in the meridians according to the cultivation technique I taught you?” Tang Xiu asked in a deep voice while looking at Chen Yan's much thinner face.
“I'm sure,” replied Chen Yan.
For a while, Tang Xiu fell silent and then asked again, “Did you try your hand with another technique similar to the cultivation technique?”
“Do Qigong exercises count?” Ask Chen Yan.
Tang Xiu instantly understood why Chen Yan could break through to the early stages of Qi Refining. Qigong exercises are also a method of cultivation, only the quality and level of energy produced is very low. Despite that, it gave Chen Yan a foundation to cultivate. When he changed the qi he had developed into True Essence and became familiar with how to control it, he ended up becoming a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining.
Whooshing sound!
The silhouette drove off from a distance as fast as lightning and then stood in front of Tang Xiu in just a few breaths. It was Shui Gui and he reported with a respectful gaze, “Report about the surveillance this month, Boss. There were a total of 66 surveillance aircraft passing in the sky above us, as well as 122 military helicopters, 52 cruisers, and 23 warships in the nearby channel with 14 trips back and forth. But last week, we only got 2 warships passing by and no reconnaissance planes, nor military helicopters. ”
“Continue reconnaissance.” Tang Xiu nodded in satisfaction and said, “We will leave this place after another week. Also, tell Awu to see me. I wanted to ask him about something else. ”
“Roger it, Boss.” Shui Gui received the order and disappeared before Tang Xiu.
A few minutes later, Mo Awu quickly appeared in front of Tang Xiu in a black uniform. He did not wait for Tang Xiu's investigation and respectfully said, “Bos, we have learned the scouting power of various countries through the intel of our outside contacts. We also studied the news about the prison situation in Israel. ”
“Say,” says Tang Xiu.
“After a month and a few days of searching, temporary scouting teams mobilized by various countries have been called one after another, leaving only Israel and the surrounding countries still looking for us. It will still be a little inconvenient for us to leave now because there is a possibility we will meet with one of them, ” Mo Awu said. “Also, our plan is a bit messy. Not only was the Prison Deputy not promoted to warden there, but he was also transferred from the 1319 labor camp and is still being interrogated by interrogation experts from various countries. There was also news from Gus Gilles saying that his men suffered heavy losses due to a major crackdown operation carried out by the government to clear the underground forces. I'm worried that the plan to help him become the kingpin of the Tel Aviv underground forces should be put on hold for a while until we get out of the limelight, so to speak. Also, he also wants our contact details. ”
Tang Xiu shook his head apathetically and said, “Tell him to stay under the radar for half a year and we will send our people to help him in six months. Also, there is no need to provide our contact details to him. ”
“Understanding!” Mo Awu said.
“Lip through my order. We will stay for another week here and then immediately evacuate, “ Tang Xiu said once again.
Mo Awu looked hesitant but still spoke, “There is also a message from our liner, Boss. It says that we are running out of food and the ship needs to resupply. ”
“How?” Tang Xiu frowned and said, “Since we landed on this island, we have never eaten food ordered on the ship. How can it be consumed so quickly? There were only 20 plus crew and officers on board. The reserve food on board should be enough for them for several months. ”
“I also asked about that, Boss,” said Mo Awu forcefully smiling. “Most of the food is damaged due to the weather is too hot and should be discarded.”
The weather?
Tang Xiu's expression moved and he immediately smiled wryly. He did not expect that he would ignore this reason. After pondering over the matter for a while, he immediately said, “You go and tell the captain that we will hunt on the island. Tell them to also fish and get fish for themselves for a week. We will definitely get enough food for everyone for half a month. ”
“Understanding!” Answer Mo Awu.
The last seven days marked the end of everyone's training. Under the leadership of Mo Awu's team, the members of the five squads were divided into a five-man team and began hunting on the island. There are many wild animals on the island despite their small size. Although almost all the food they ate today was the prey they hunted, the number of wild animals here was somehow still plentiful.
Finally, a message was delivered from the ship on the seventh day, saying that they had enough meat reserves. If they were able to preserve it for a long time, they would have enough for the next half a month.
The moment Tang Xiu received the news, he immediately ordered to stop hunting and return to the ship. He had also hunted many wild beasts secretly in these seven days, all of which were stored within his interspatial ring. Even if the carcass of a savage beast stored in the liner would be damaged a few days later, the carcass stored in the interspatial ring would still be enough for everyone to eat for a while.
