wrong"Seeing Chen Ping injured, Gu Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern."I'm fine!" Chen Ping shook his head, with a worried expression."Have you found Yuqi"Gu Linger continued to...The ship sailed across the sea and soon reached the small island.

After everyone disembarked, the ship did not leave. They had only one day, and whoever could retrieve the crystal ball placed at the center of the island and return to the ship within that time would be declared the victor.

After Chen Ping and his group landed on the island, they found that it was not very large. The scenery was quite beautiful. If the island were too big, they wouldn't be able to find the crystal ball within a day.

"Mr. Chen, the air on this island is so good, it smells very comfortable..."

Xu Shimao sniffed hard, greedily.

Chen Ping's brows furrowed slightly, he took a gentle sniff, and his face turned rather unnatural.

"Captain Xu, tell everyone to hold their breath and advance by changing breaths..."

Chen Ping instructed Xu Shimao.

Xu Shimao was taken aback, not understanding what Chen Ping was trying to do. Why hold your breath when the air smelled so pleasant

But since Chen Ping had spoken, Xu Shimao could only obey. He made all the members of Hufa Pavilion hold their breath.

Luckily, these people are all masters above. They can hold their breath and directly change their breath inside their bodies, which can also last for a while.

"Andrew, you tell your people to hold their breath..."

Chen Ping looked at Andrew and said.

"Chen, what's wrong Did you sense something"

Andrew asked Chen Ping in puzzlement.

"I feel like the air on this island is off, like something's been tampered with..." Chen Ping said, frowning slightly.

"Tampering with the air" Andrew was taken aback, then chuckled. "Chen, you're being too cautious. On such a large island, it would be impossible to tamper with the air throughout the entire place."

Andrew didn't believe a word Chen Ping said.

Who could possibly tamper with the air on an entire island It's simply impossible.

Chen Ping, seeing that Andrew didn't believe him, didn't say anything more. Instead, he closely observed the air around the island.

After getting off the boat, Watanabe Ichiro and they made their way quickly towards the center of the island.

Now Chen Ping and they are already behind, they can only hurry to catch up.

Andrew followed Chen Ping closely, making no attempt to hide his alliance with him.

In the dense jungle of the island, Chen Ping felt something was wrong as he walked deeper, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. So, he braced himself and tried his best.

At this moment, Watanabe Ichiro has led his people deep into the heart of the island. In a flat clearing in the island's interior, several bouquets of pink flowers are arranged on the ground. Three masked figures clad in black cloaks are chanting, and continuously, a pink aura emanates from the flower bouquets into the air.

Seeing Watanabe Ichiro arrive, the three men in black instantly stood up and walked in front of him: "Master Watanabe..."

"Well, has all the pollen from these beautiful flowers spread across the whole island now"

Watanabe Ichiro asked the three masked figures in black.

"Master Watanabe, it has now spread throughout the entire island. However, to avoid raising their suspicions, we haven't spread much pollen at the edges."

A man in black replied.

"Very good, when I get back, I'll reward you heavily..."

Watanabe Ichiro nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Master Watanabe," the three men in black immediately knelt down happily.

And the band of samurai brought by Watanabe, seeing that Watanabe had already scattered the pollen of the otherworldly flowers on the island, their faces became unnatural.

These *higanbana* flower pollens are highly poisonous, they can cause hallucinations in people, and even lead to neurological disorders and illusions.

Watanabe Ichiro secretly spread this pollen on the island without telling them beforehand, and now they have all inhaled it.

Watanabe Ichiro looked at the samurai under his command, and then smiled: "I have an antidote here. You can inhale as much as you want without any problems."

"Ichiro Watanabe said, and directly grabbed a handful of white powder, throwing it toward those samurai. The white powder instantly was sucked into the bellies of those samurai."ort amount of time, Chen Ping, who couldn't understand a single character from the books before, now had them all memorized perfectly, not a single character missing!Chen Ping's lips curled into a smi...
