The wood-type ability users made two wooden buckets, filled them with water, and used that water to clean the prepared fish.
The metal-based supernatural power condensed into a large pot; some of the fish were used to make fish soup, and the rest were grilled directly.
The other teams that went out to do missions and gather food also returned. Since none of them had gone far, they returned quickly.
The island was fraught with danger, and no one dared to go too far. Most teams failed to find food, and only one team found some edible fruit.
The taste isn't great, but it's good enough to have something to eat, and no one will complain.
I ate a whole salted fish feast. Although there were no seasonings, it didn't taste fishy at all. This is probably because the water from the wood-type ability can remove the fishy smell.
After lunch, the eight city lords went straight back to their houses to rest, intending to take a nap.
The others, however, were in high spirits and decided to continue their exploration.
Fang Xiyue was more interested in who the overlord of this island was.
She must defeat the overlord if she wants to gain former ownership of the island.
But if she stays with the other players, she might not encounter the so-called overlord.
Therefore, she plans to act alone for a while.
Of course, she wouldn't sneak away; she would still say something.
"Nanxuan, I plan to explore the whole island in a bit, and then I'll leave them to you to look after."
Fang Xiyue chose to tell Jun Nanxuan because Jun Nanxuan was the most reliable person.
As a former elite special forces soldier, he has extensive experience in wilderness survival.
It would be most reasonable for Fang Xiyue to go out and find the so-called overlord, and hand these people over to Jun Nanxuan.
"Don't you want us to go with you?"
Jun Nanxuan was clearly not comfortable letting Fang Xiyue go out alone. This was their first time on this island, and no one knew what was on it.
"I don't need to do it alone, and it will be faster. I will take off the power suppression ring."
This is a solo operation, so I don't need to suppress my powers constantly. If there's any danger, I'll teleport back to the camp immediately.
I've already set up a teleportation array here in the camp, don't worry.
Fang Xiyue shook her head. If she took people with her, she would definitely be distracted. If they encountered danger, she would not be able to leave the others alone, and then she would not be able to concentrate.
"Okay, then be careful. If there's any danger, don't try to fight it yourself. Make sure to come back as soon as possible."
Jun Nanxuan could see the determination in Fang Xiyue's eyes, so he had no choice but to let her go.
Anyway, with the teleportation array there, my safety is still guaranteed.
"Okay." Fang Xiyue obediently agreed, and then secretly left.
We have to sneak around; if Su Zheyu and Xiao Zihan see us, they'll definitely follow us.
I'll sneak away; maybe they won't even realize I left when I come back.
Fang Xiyue had only been gone for two minutes when Su Zheyu found Jun Nanxuan.
"Where's Yueyue? Have you seen Yueyue?"
Su Zheyu had searched all over but couldn't find Fang Xiyue.
"She went to the restroom and will be back in a bit."
Jun Nanxuan gave Fang Xiyue an excuse.
"Oh." After confirming that Fang Xiyue was not in danger, Su Zheyu left.
Then, every minute or two, someone would come and ask Fang Xiyue where she had gone.
Jun Nanxuan dismissed them all with the same excuse.

On the other side, Fang Xiyue began exploring the deserted island with her flying wings. Thanks to the system, she was able to avoid some poisonous plants and insects in advance.
She was protected by wind-based supernatural abilities, so the poisonous insects and plants could not get close to her.
[Fang Xiyue: Tongzi, have you discovered the overlord of this island?]
Not yet, there aren't any in this area. Let's check the other side.
The system's tiny eyes widened and scrutinized the area very carefully, but unfortunately, no overlord was found on this side.
Fang Xiyue: Okay.
Fang Xiyue flew to the other side, and after flying for a short while, she saw a place that looked like a village.
[Fang Xiyue: Are there actually people on this island? What's going on?]
[Host, the overlord is inside, it's a lion!]
The indigenous people living here worship lions, and anyone who wanders here will be captured and offered to the lions.
This lion has already eaten so many people who have fallen on hard times.
The system was furious, feeling that these people were too wicked. There were animals on the island, so why offer people to lions?
[Fang Xiyue: I understand. It shouldn't be a problem if I just attack like this, right?]
Fang Xiyue was hiding in a big tree near the village, and there were two people guarding the entrance.
They wore animal skins on their lower bodies, were naked on their upper bodies, and held weapons made of wood and stones.
These are definitely primitive people, with black eyes and yellow skin. They are very likely from China, or from Japan or Qingfeng.
Fang Xiyue secretly released her ice-type superpower, which spread across the ground and froze the two guards in place.
She unleashed her spiritual powers and took the entire village into her mind.
Then she swaggered in through the village gate, because there was no danger.
The others weren't near the entrance; they were all inside.
Today must be some kind of festival, because they've all gathered together, seemingly performing a ritual.
On the altar, there was a person with their hands and feet bound, and their mouth gagged tightly.
He was a foreigner who probably stumbled upon this place by accident and was arrested without expecting to be caught.
Those primitive people babbled a lot of words that Fang Xiyue couldn't understand at all.
She wanted the system to translate for her, but the system said that the language was not in its language library and it didn't know what they were saying.
The most likely explanation is that these languages are unique to them and were created by them.
However, from their gestures, it's clear that they intend to sacrifice this man to the lion.
The lion Fang Xiyue also saw it; it was lying in a cave, and there were no obstacles in front of the cave, so the lion could come out at any time.
I really can't understand these people's thought process. Aren't they afraid that if they feed the lions with humans, the lions will get so hungry that they will eat them one day?
The man on the altar struggled desperately, but no one present sympathized with him, nor did anyone intend to release him.
Then Fang Xiyue saw an old man with an extremely long beard look up at the sky, probably indicating that the time had come.
The old man uttered two words, and two men walked to both sides of the altar, intending to carry the man to the cave.
Fang Xiyue stopped watching the spectacle and unleashed her ice-type ability, freezing everyone present instantly.
Then he swaggered up to the altar, gently tapped the frozen man, and the ice on his body immediately shattered.
Fang Xiyue was clearly extremely agitated, and the distress signal in her eyes was very obvious.
Fang Xiyue looked over and saw that the man's kindness and malice were both at normal levels, so he wasn't a bad person.
