Chapter 708: Chapter 50: Seeing Through with Ease

Looking at the entry for the hairy bull ant, Chen Wen made his choice without hesitation, decisively selecting the organ entry [Sting (Hairy Bull Ant)].

There is no doubt this entry is exceptionally powerful.

If the venom of the hairy bull ant is injected into the human body, and adrenaline is not promptly administered for treatment.

There’s an eight or nine chance out of ten that humans will die from the venom of the hairy bull ant.

Chen Wen just opened the entry and observed the sting.

The sting is located on the pad of his right index finger.

With the appearance of the sting, Chen Wen could feel some peculiar changes occurring in his right hand.

Besides the sting, it seemed there were other things growing on his finger.

It should be the matching venom sacs.

This entry will definitely be of great use later.

As for the entry of the desert locust, it left Chen Wen a bit disappointed.

It didn’t produce the entry Chen Wen had hoped for, but instead one related to progress.

[Ride the Wind (Blue): When moving with the wind, your stamina will be consumed slower, and your speed will be slightly faster]

This entry is better than nothing, I guess.

After selecting the entries, Chen Wen began to rest.

The next day, he didn’t risk entering the oasis to find supplies. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Instead, like the others, he sat by the campfire processing food.

After hunting that dromedary and extracting its blood, a considerable amount of its meat was also preserved.

Now, without a smoker, they could only simply roast the dromedary meat for processing.

After staying here for another day.

On the third day, Chen Wen finally packed up with everyone else, replenished their water supply.

They let their dromedary eat and drink its fill, and then continued on their journey.

And just as Chen Wen moved forward.

In Oasis No.1.

Feng Zhong and Yoshikawa Feng sighed helplessly, they too started packing.

"Consider him lucky, damn it, we’re off!"

Feng Zhong said.

Matsui Reika and Yoshikawa Feng were also a little disappointed.

They had also wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Wen, to dispel their psychological shadow.

But since Chen Wen hadn’t shown up for a while, they couldn’t just keep waiting.

Eventually, under Yoshikawa Feng’s arrangement, he and Feng Zhong crushed some Alu Vine fruits, creating an illusion of consumption, leaving them at the camp.

"I don’t know if they can fool them."

Feng Zhong looked at the Alu Vine fruits and shook his head.

Deep down, he still felt hopeful.

The same went for Yoshikawa Feng.

"There’s an eight or nine chance out of ten they won’t be fooled, they have locals, and that Dennis might recognize them, it just depends on whether any of Chen Wen’s people come alone and, upon discovering the Alu Vine fruits, decide to eat them."

Yoshikawa Feng said, not too confident himself.

After all, those who could survive here must be top survivalists.

Even if there were some incompetent ones, they’re mostly eliminated by now.

...

Afternoon.

Oasis No.1 sent off a group and welcomed another.

Chen Wen and his team arrived.

Upon arriving, Chen Wen and his team entered the heart of the oasis and replenished their water supply at the lake.

Then the group began to search for remnants of camps set by previous teams, planning to set up camp at Oasis No.1 overnight.

The group split into two teams to search, with Chen Wen and Hua Yun in one team.

With the help of the howling eagle and crested eagle, the two quickly found a camp.

"I wonder which team’s camp this is."

Chen Wen looked around but couldn’t make out much.

The camp had four shelters, all quite rudimentary.

Chen Wen took a glance and saw something resembling a stove surrounded by the shelters.

And on the stove were some gourds.

"Is this... chayote?"

Hua Yun looked curiously at the fruits, unable to help but ask, "Does this place have chayote?"

She looked at Chen Wen, who wore a faint smile.

No ridicule, just teasing.

Hua Yun paused, then furrowed her brows.

After a moment, she realized, "Alu Vine!"

"Not too shabby."

Chen Wen grinned.

Hua Yun, slightly annoyed, gave Chen Wen a glare, "You saw it yourself and still didn’t warn me?"

"Just checking your knowledge reserve."

Chen Wen said, cautiously approaching the stove.

He took a close look at the Alu Vine fruits and said, "It looks like someone mistakenly ate Alu Vine, could it have been that group picked up by the helicopter before?"

But soon, Chen Wen dismissed the thought.

Among this group who could compete with him, he figured there might be a few naïve ones, but it wouldn’t be a situation where an entire team would be naïve.

"Someone left this on purpose, trying to mislead us!"

Chen Wen stated confidently.

Hua Yun was a little confused.

Leaving it intentionally to mislead us?

Who would be so idle?

Chen Wen continued, laughing, "Of course, it might also be meant to mislead others. In any case, the person who left this is rotten to the core."

"Forget it, let’s find another camp. Staying in a place like this, where they’d been, I feel he might even set traps in the shelters to sabotage us."

Hua Yun also nodded, and at the same time, she had a suspect in mind.

"Feng Zhong seems quite adept with poisons, he had learned some methods for identifying plants before."

Hua Yun mentioned.

Chen Wen nodded slightly, not saying more.

Right now, having not encountered them, words are meaningless.

...

Seeing Chen Wen and Hua Yun easily see through Feng Zhong’s trap, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked somewhat indifferent.

This Feng Zhong, he didn’t know this before, but after seeing it, it was shocking.

His previous evaluation in the association wasn’t high, but overall, he seemed okay.

However, once in the Eight Extremes Challenge, his despicable nature far exceeded his imagination.

Liu Yu had already decided to make this person pay!

Meanwhile, at the Japan Association, a Japanese vice president in charge of monitoring the situation couldn’t help but slap his thigh.

What a pity!

The presidents or vice presidents of other associations, upon seeing this scene, each had their own thoughts.

Seeing how strong Chen Wen and his team had become was now apparent.

In future Eight Extremes Challenges, it’s best to maintain a relatively good relationship with Chen Wen’s team.

Even if they can’t become friends, at the very least, don’t become enemies.

As for those who are already enemies, they can only swallow the bitter fruit quietly.

...

Ultimately, Chen Wen and his team, led by Fred, stayed overnight at the camp of the Russian-French Joint Team.

After staying overnight, they replenished their water supply again and continued on.

After passing Oasis No.1, the road ahead would be much easier.

However, in the latter half of the road from Oasis No.1 to Oasis No.2, there was a particularly difficult section.

This section was also known as the Death Ten Kilometers.

Chen Wen and his team, traveling for about ten days, successfully reached the vicinity of the Death Ten Kilometers.

While setting up camp.

Dennis, who had a thorough understanding of the Desolate Extreme Challenge route, started talking about the Death Ten Kilometers.

Hearing this term, Chen Wen and the others became interested.

They had heard of the Death Ten Kilometers.

But they weren’t very clear on the specifics.

Under the urging of the others, Dennis began to talk about the Death Ten Kilometers.
