Yan Xianglian did not feel that he had suffered a loss; on the contrary, he thought it was a good thing.
Because the competition is a team effort every year, they have to take care of their own food, drink, and other necessities. Only when a winner is determined can they leave the wilderness.
They had all suffered losses in this area before.
In the past few years, they were not used to living in the wild and ate wild food. Several of their people had to give up the competition because of food poisoning.
It's not that they lacked ability, it's that they didn't expect it to be about wilderness survival.
After two years of training, they are now able to live well in the wild, but Yan Lianxiang has developed a psychological shadow.
He had just heard Qi Zhiyang say that he could cook. Now, whether he could win or not was no longer important to him. He knew that with Qi Zhiyang and Lin Zhiluo around, they would definitely achieve good results this year.
If Qi Zhiyang is willing to cook, he shouldn't suffer too much these days.
He still remembers the last competition when he ate the wrong thing, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered until the end, and then went back to the hospital for a week.
He looked at the two people opposite him with a smile. They were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. This year, China would definitely surprise them.
Their plane landed an hour later.
Because Qi Zhiyang and Lin Zhilu were newcomers and this was their first time participating in such a competition, Yan Lianxiang specially stayed by their side to explain: "The location we participate in is different every year. The only special feature is that this island does not belong to any country. The participating countries send the competition judges over in advance. They set up the questions together on this island. Each country participates together, and the judges watch from the shadows to supervise each other. So it has always been very safe."
Lin Zhiluo said she knew, but she was very interested in metaphysics from abroad.
Seeing her eagerness to try, Yan Lianxiang said, "The magicians of America, the Onmyoji of Japan, the Taoist priests of South Korea, and the exorcists of Y country are all no match for the Taoist practitioners of our China."
He told Qi Zhiyang and Lin Zhiluo, "You should stay away from people from these countries. The exorcists from Country Y are very arrogant, but the Taoist priests from South Korea and the Onmyoji from Japan always submit to the magicians from Country America. They will band together to suppress the contestants from other countries, and China is the one that is suppressed the most."
“I understand the logic, but it feels a bit strange that the Koreans are called Taoist priests.” Lin Zhiluo said, puzzled.
Qi Zhiyang said, "There's no doubt about it, they probably plagiarized it."
Lin Zhilu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Lin Zhilu followed behind Qi Zhiyang as the staff led them toward the castle. Lin Zhilu stopped in her tracks as she looked at the castle from afar.
She looked her up and down, inside and out: "We're living here?" The shock in her eyes was overwhelming.
"What's wrong?" Yan Lianxiang didn't notice anything amiss at first.
Lin Zhilu pointed to two places: "Look at this place and this place. If you put them together and consider the layout of the whole manor, I can't see anything else, but there's one thing I can understand: they want us to leave our lives here."
Leng Xuehai came along as a teacher; all they could do was offer medical treatment or comfort after the contestants' defeats, but they couldn't provide any other assistance.
Now, with Lin Zhiluo's guidance, Leng Xuehai and Yan Lianxiang have finally figured out the problem with the manor.
Leng Xuehai wanted to cause trouble for the judging panel immediately, but Qi Zhiyang stopped him: "It's no use. This was prepared by the judging panel. If the judges have problems, then there will be more than one problematic place on the island. We can find them and destroy them slowly."
"This kind of sacrificial formation is usually only used in critical moments. I think... no one will activate the formation now. If we ask the judges, they might not believe us. Instead, they might say we are deliberately causing trouble. So... we have to wait for him to reveal his true colors."
Qi Zhiyang and Lin Zhiluo's words eased Leng Xuehai and Yan Lianxiang's expressions slightly. They were right; it was better to discover it sooner than to discover it at all.
Lin Zhilu glanced at the number of people and then mentally estimated how many peace charms she would need to draw.
After they entered the castle, Lin Zhiluo clearly felt the temperature drop by several degrees.
Qi Zhiyang transferred some spiritual energy to Lin Zhiluo and Bai Sixing to ensure that their bodies would not be harmed by the evil aura.
Lin Zhilu felt that Qi Zhiyang and Bai Sixing both possessed aspects of her, and that cold, evil things dared not approach them.
Bai Sixing rubbed her arms, goosebumps rising all over her body. Seeing her senior sister's calm expression, she felt relieved. Her senior sister looked relaxed, seemingly not taking the things here seriously.
The Chinese symbols were too conspicuous, and after their arrival, both South Korea and Japan watched them warily.
Yan Lianxiang confirmed their accommodations with the event organizers, and Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang memorized them. They might not know everyone, but they had to remember the locations so they could act immediately if anything seemed amiss.
They're all Chinese, after all; we can't let anything happen to them, especially since they also asked Leng Xuehai for several pieces of jade full of spiritual energy.
As Lin Zhiluo went upstairs, she felt someone watching her. She turned around and met the eyes of several people on the sofa.
Those people's eyes were full of aggression, which Lin Zhiluo disliked very much.
Yan Lianxiang told Lin Zhiluo, "Those are Japanese people. They use despicable methods. You need to be careful."
"I understand." Lin Zhiluo had already planned to teach them a lesson the next time she saw them.
The Japanese looked at Lin Zhiluo. This year, there were three unfamiliar faces in China, and they had to be careful.
Junichiro looked at the people around him: "Keep an eye on the person we brought this year. He is the key to our victory in the competition. But before the competition, don't let him appear in front of everyone. He is the key to our victory in this competition."
The people around him immediately agreed, and Qingshan nodded: "Our people are all watching him, so he won't have much contact with others."
Hearing what Haruyama Akira said, Junichiro was relieved. He then asked, "Have you found out his identity? No matter who he is, we must keep this talent in Japan. With him, we can do a lot of things, at least we can severely damage the Xuanmen lineage in China."
They were smug, but the boy they were watching closely was filled with resentment. He didn't know where he was or what these people's purpose was. He hated this place and had to find a way to leave.
He rolled his eyes and turned his back to the person staring at him, not knowing how to escape. These people were just as annoying as slugs.
