Chapter 179
Jonathan soon saw Lesley and the others. He could tell that they were not hostile.
He could not help but wonder what they were up to.
Thetter approached Jonathan and his team, who remained where they were.
Jonathan had a good impression of Lesley because he always feltfortable around thetter, whom
he thought was a gentle and adaptable gentleman.
Being smart as he was, Jonathan could tell if one was sincere.
Standing three meters away from Jonathan and his team, Lesley asked, “Can we talk, Jonathan?”
“Sure,” Jonathan replied readily.
Lesley was relieved to see that Jonathan was so easy-going and said, “After a discussion, we think that
Simon is the hardest to catch. After all, he''s in the final-stage Nascent Soul and has a strong
murderous intent. It''s hard for the three of us to take him on, so we suggest that all of us join forces to
finish him off. What do you think?”
Jonathan had actually thought of the difficulty of killing Simon as well.
Although he was not afraid of Simon, the Jungle King, he knew that it was hard to end him.
Right now, it was an opportunity.
Being a decisive man, he immediately agreed. “Let''s do it!”
Lesley let out a heartyugh andmented, “You sure know your priorities, Jonathan.”
Jonathan gave him a smile.
They thus reached a consensus to work together.
However, they still had their guards up against each other.
They went to the beach together, with Jonathan''s team in charge of fishing, while Lesley''s team busied
themselves collecting firewood.
After an hour, both of the teamspleted their tasks.
In order to avoid what happened with Chesterst time, Jonathan gave some of the fish to Lesley.
They then grilled the fish separately, so that there was no disquiet among them.
They spent the entire morning eating grilled fish and fruits. By the time it was noon, they were all
recharged.
It was also time for them to take action. All of them entered the jungle together and began to look for
Simon.
Jonathan asked them to stay within ten meters of each other to look out for each other, and Lesley
agreed.
But tragedy struck soon after.
While Tony and James looked for Simon together, the former did not notice Simon, who was crawling,
until he got closer, but it was toote.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Simon suddenly leaped to his feet and pierced Tony''s neck, killing him on the spot.
Immediately afterward, Simon turned around and quickly fled. Before the rest could react, he had
disappeared into the jungle.
Jonathan nced in the direction where Simon fled, and his face clouded over.
D*mn it! To kill someone like Simon in the jungle is simply looking for trouble. The jungle is the best
cover. It''ll be hard to kill Simon even if Mabel is here. This rule of the Divine Realm''s assessment is too
unreasonable. Since everyone is an expert, one can escape if one really feels that there is no hope of
winning. In the end, everyone will be in a stalemate until the tenth day when all of us fail the test and
get eliminated.
Seeing that they could not catch up with Simon, they quickly came to Tony, who was lying on the
ground lifelessly with blood still gushing out of his neck.
Jonathan naturally did not feel sad over Tony''s death, but he found it humiliating that Simon had
actually killed one of the six people looking for him and got away.
Lesley squatted down and looked at Tony''s lifeless corpse. There was a gloomy expression on the
former''s face. After a long while, he reached out to close Tony''s eyes.
Jonathan also squatted down to look at Tony''s wound. Soon, he noticed that something was wrong and
said, “Look, Lesley, his wound seems to be caused by a weapon, not just fingers.”
Having noticed it as well, Lesley frowned and asked, “Does Simon have a weapon?”
“It''s probably brass knuckles. It''s easy to handle and unimaginably lethal, making it the favorite weapon
of assassins,” Jonathan pointed out.
Lesley''s heart sank. “Now that Simon has a weapon, it''ll be even more difficult for us to kill him.” He
paused for a while before continuing, “Besides, we can''t go on like this. We have to find a way to end
him, or more people will be killed by him. He canpletely defeat us one by one.”
“I do have an idea,” Jonathan stated in a low voice.
Lesley''s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Simon is determined to win the elimination round this time. Instead of us looking for him in the jungle
and getting finished off by him, we should wait for him at the beach. When he can no longer stand it
andunches an attack out of impatience, we can take the opportunity to find his weakness and drive
him into a corner.”
Lesley gave it a thought and said, “But Simon is no fool. He won''te to us to die in vain, will he?”
“Then it''ll be a test of our patience.”
After thinking about it, Lesley agreed, “I guess that''s the only way.”
Afterward, he covered Tony''s wound with a piece of cloth and carried thetter''s body. “Let''s go.”
Jonathan was stunned, but he immediately understood why Lesley wanted to carry Tony''s body.
Naturally, Lesley would not want Tony''s head like Chester did, or he would not have dressed his
wound.
Lesley obviously wanted to bury Tony in the sea.
At that moment, Jonathan found himself liking Lesley even more.
It was also because he was a person who valued friendships, like thetter, so he noticed and
appreciated thetter''s virtues.
For instance, friendships would naturallyst if friends were generous to each other.
The group of five walked outside.
Before they left the jungle, there was a sudden noise around them.
Obviously, it was a sound made by Simon.
Jonathan knew that Simon had been lurking around and overheard his n.
Therefore, thetter wanted to kill a few of them before they managed to leave the jungle.
“There he is.” James suddenly pointed to the depths of the jungle. At the same time, he darted in the
direction he pointed.
Seeing this, Jonathan cursed in a low voice, “F*cking idiot.” He never expected that James would help
Simon to kill his teammates.
In fact, James was behind Tony''s death as well as he had deliberately led thetter to Simon.
At this moment, James chased after Simon because he wanted to disrupt Jonathan''s n.
In Jonathan''s opinion, James had nothing to gain and everything to lose by helping Simon to kill his
teammates.
Hence, Jonathan and Lesley did not suspect James at all, thinking that he would not do something so
foolish.
After James ran into the depths of the jungle, Jonathan and Lesley could not watch him get killed as
they were teammates after all.
As Jonathan shouted for him toe back, he also chased after him.
Putting down Tony''s body, Lesley followed suit.
Catherine and Elijah immediately followed them.
However, Elijah was slower as his cultivation was the weakest, so he was falling behind.
“Something''s wrong!” Jonathan, who was at the forefront, instantly felt that something was not right
after seeing that James was chasing after nothing with Simon nowhere in sight.
He immediately stopped, raised his hand, and said, “Guys, stop.”
Lesley and Catherine quickly surrounded him and asked in puzzlement, “What''s wrong?”
“Something''s not right about James,” Jonathan pointed out.
As soon as he finished speaking, something happened to Elijah, who was running over.
The bushes in the jungles were rustling as if there was a beast moving around.
“Look out, Elijah!” Jonathan was shocked upon seeing the situation and immediately activated the
power of Haemocore to unleash Great Sage Force Field.
He rushed over carrying two thousand kilograms of mighty force, but it was still a little toote.
Simon suddenly came out and punched Elijah in the chest, but thetter managed to react in time to
block it by crossing his fists in front of his chest.
Unfortunately, Simon had on the golden brass knuckles, which instantly pierced through the skin of
Elijah''s arm, leaving streaks of blood on his arm.
At the same time, the impact of Simon''s punch prated into Elijah''s body, sending severe pain
through his chest and abdomen.
Thetter was also sent flying.
“Prepare to die!” Jonathan was enraged. Simon is f*cking insane!
He charged at Simon and attacked him with Rolling Thunder Punch, but thetter dodged it without
even ncing at him.
When Jonathan was about to continue chasing after him, Simon happened to hide behind a tree.
The formernded a heavy punch on the thick trunk of the tree.
Boom!
The inside of the tree was shattered by Jonathan''s punch, but the bark remained undamaged.
At that moment, Simon had swiftly gotten up and fled so fast that it was impossible for Jonathan to
catch up with him.
Lesley and Catherine soon rushed over.
Jonathan turned to look at Elijah, who was lying on the ground with ck blood flowing down the
corners of his mouth, looking miserable.
He was dying.
“There''s poison on his knuckles.” Jonathan immediately figured it out upon seeing Elijah''s condition.
When Simon killed Tony earlier, there was no poison on his knuckles. He must have caught a
poisonous snake nearby and applied its venom on his knuckles.
Grasping Jonathan''s arm, Elijah had a look of indignation and fear in his eyes as he pleaded in a
trembling voice, “S-Save me. I don''t want to d-die!”
An idea popped into Jonathan''s mind. Didn''t I take the Supreme Nascent Pill which makes my blood
the antidote of all poisons?
With this thought in mind, he immediately cut his arm with a knife and fed Elijah his blood.
“Drink it. My blood can neutralize the poison,” hemanded.
Hearing this, Elijah opened his mouth at once.
Amazingly, Elijah, who was about to die, instantly became better after drinking Jonathan''s blood.
It was a miracle.
Seeing that his blood worked, Jonathan immediately used his vitality to stop the bleeding on his arm.
Moreover, his tiny wound was healing at a terrifyingly high speed.
