Chapter 106: Drilling Wood for Fire

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Drilling Wood for Fire

"Wyatt Barnes, what do you think?"

Centurion ’Declan Yorke’ turned to Wyatt Barnes, seeking his opinion.

After all, it was Wyatt Barnes who initiated this bet.

"Wyatt Barnes, you can’t chicken out now."

Simon Davies narrowed his eyes, blocking Wyatt Barnes’s retreat.

"Centurion, I have no objections, just as Simon Davies said, please be our witness."

Wyatt Barnes gave a nod of his head.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Simon Davies was really considerate...

Simon Davies’s pupils constricted, he didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to agree so readily.

"Wyatt Barnes, you wouldn’t have secretly stashed away a fire starter, would you? If that’s the case, this bet is meaningless."

Simon Davies looked cautiously at Wyatt Barnes.

"Rest assured, if I use a fire starter, consider it as my loss."

Wyatt Barnes laughed.

A fire starter?

Does he need it?

Simon Davies breathed a sigh of relief, "Those are your words."

"If none of you have any objections... this bet takes effect."

Declan Yorke looked at Wyatt Barnes and Simon Davies.

Both shook their heads, indicating no objections.

"Let’s get started."

Declan Yorke turned interestedly to Wyatt Barnes.

His five fellow centurions behind him were also staring at Wyatt Barnes with glowing eyes. They were all curious where Wyatt Barnes’s confidence came from...

Even they wouldn’t dare to claim that they could create fire from scratch without a fire starter.

"Today, I will teach you all a common sense."

Soon, Wyatt Barnes picked out a round. dry log from a pile of firewood and sat down on the spot.

At this time, a group of youngsters from the Genius Camp all gathered around, watching Wyatt Barnes’s every move without blinking...

"Westyn Morgan, give me your dagger."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Westyn Morgan and smiled.

Westyn Morgan handed over his dagger.

Taking Westyn Morgan’s dagger, Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, chopped off one end of the wood, and then intentionally sharpened it...

In the meantime, he made a small hole in the round log.

Whoosh!

The fragmented wood fell into his hands, and as his Origin Force blossomed in his hand, it turned into wood chips, falling into the small hole in the log.

Then, he inserted the prepared sharp piece of wood into the small hole.

He began to rotate it...

If anyone from his previous reincarnation on Earth was present, they would certainly recognize at a glance.

Barnes’ current action was ’friction fire starting’!

"Hmph! Daydreaming, do you really think you can create fire this way?"

Simon Davies sneered.

However, he was soon stunned.

Chirp!

After Wyatt Barnes drilled for a while, the wood chips began to smoke, and moments later, a small flame rose...

"Westyn Morgan, the firewood!"

Wyatt Barnes shouted in a low voice.

"Coming!"

Westyn Morgan had already prepared the firewood when the wood chips started to smoke. Hearing Wyatt Barnes call for him, he promptly placed a pile of firewood in front of Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes put the burning wood chips into the firewood...

Suddenly, a blaze roared to life!

"No... Impossible... It’s not possible."

Simon Davies looked in disbelief at this scene, stepped backwards a few times, and shook his head in a somewhat disoriented manner. He couldn’t believe that all this was real.

At this moment, the youngsters around him looked at Simon Davies with a hint of pity in their eyes...

This Simon Davies was in over his head!

Daisy Davies and the other three youngsters from the Davies family all had very ugly expressions on their faces.

If Simon Davies loses face, it means the Davies family loses face, and they lose face too.

"Wyatt Barnes, how did you come up with this?"

Declan Yorke took a deep look at Wyatt Barnes and asked.

"I accidentally discovered it while playing as a child... I call it ’friction fire starting’, what do you think, Centurion?"

Wyatt Barnes touched his nose.

"Good... Very good!"

Declan Yorke laughed heartily.

"Simon Davies, since you asked the Centurion to be our witness, I believe you will honor our bet, won’t you?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Simon Davies again with a mocking smile.

Simon Davies’s face turned worse.

Soon, he looked pleadingly at the two centurions behind Declan Yorke.

"Centurion, Simon Davies is after all a scion of the Davies family in the County City. If he’s subjected to this humiliation, the Davies family will undoubtedly be humiliated as well... it might not end well."

One of the centurions stepped forward.

"Yes, Centurion, let’s just take this matter as a joke and laugh it over."

Another centurion also stepped forward.

Declan Yorke frowned.

The Davies family...

He had to consider it.

However, this bet, so many people had personally seen him as the witness. If he just backed out, his authority would certainly be compromised...

If word got out, he wouldn’t have a foothold in the Iron Blood Army!

"Hahahaha..."

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out.

"Insolent!"

The first Centurion who had stood up to support Simon Davies changed his expression, glaring angrily at Wyatt Barnes, "You cannot act so recklessly in the presence of the higher-ranking Centurion!"

"Centurion Sir."

Wyatt narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "The wager between Simon Davies and I is not only witnessed by the higher-ranking Centurion but every person present here... at the time the bet was agreed upon, I wonder why you didn’t object? Could it be that you didn’t consider the Davies Family at the time?"

"Or is it... now that I’ve won and Simon Davies has lost, it’s not as you expected. So, you’re bringing up the Davies Family to trap the higher-ranking Centurion?"

As he finished speaking, a chilling light gleamed in Wyatt’s eyes, "Could it be that you think the higher-ranking Centurion is afraid of the Davies Family... and must bow before them?"

The Centurion’s face turned pale when he heard Wyatt’s provoking words.

After glaring at Wyatt resentfully, he turned to look at Declan Yorke, the higher-ranking Centurion, expressing a fearful plea, "Centurion Sir, I never thought like that. I really didn’t mean that."

Another Centurion, observing the situation, wisely closed his mouth.

Although he was the friend of Joseph Davies, Simon’s older brother, he did not dare offend his superior officer.

"Everyone here witnessed the bet, and we hope for fair treatment from Centurion Sir!"

Remi Sinclair spoke up timely, helping Wyatt.

"We hope for fair treatment from Centurion Sir!"

Immediately, the young men from every squad, many of them supporting the cause, echoed the words.

Simon Davies’s face turned darker and darker.

His gaze swept over these young men.

Most of these boys had borrowed fire from him before. He never expected they would be such turncoats, so pragmatic...

It made his blood boil!

"Alright, since I am the witness of this bet, I naturally won’t take sides... Simon Davies, fulfill the terms of the bet."

Declan Yorke looked at Simon and spoke indifferently.

Although he was somewhat concerned about the Davies Family in County City, he was not afraid.

Even if the Clan Chief of Davies Family personally came to Iron Blood City, he could not do anything to him.

He was a member of the Iron Blood Army.

The Iron Blood Army, renowned for its protective nature, was no target for the County Governor’s Mansion.

Taking a deep breath, Simon’s eyes were filled with shame as his body began to tremble involuntarily...

Under the gaze of many eyes, Simon began to take off his clothes, piece by piece...

Wyatt, Remi, Westyn Morgan, and Mustafa Rowan all returned to their previous spot now roasting wolves, boars...

Roasting meat while watching Simon’s ’performance’.

"Haha! I didn’t realize that Simon is even paler than women."

Westyn chuckled, watching Simon running.

"He even has a birthmark on his buttocks."

Wyatt laughed.

At this point, not just Wyatt and his comrades, but all the other boys were watching Simon’s performance without blinking, for fear of missing any amusing scene.

With every step Simon ran, each gust of wind touching his naked body, his face darkened...

His eyes were filled with an intense hatred and murderous intent!

Wyatt Barnes!

I will not rest until I kill you!

"Ahh!!"

Halfway through his run, Simon suddenly roared.

Whew!

He exerted himself and quickly finished the remaining rounds.

"Brother Davies."

Daisy Davies timely handed him his clothes.

Simon took a deep breath. After putting on his clothes, he sat in a corner, too ashamed to show his face.

"Ha ha... So refreshing!"

Westyn laughed.

Remi also laughed.

Mustafa’s eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips...

He realised, surprisingly, that he also felt a surge of pleasure.

"Alright, let’s eat now, or the meat will get burnt!"

Wyatt laughed.

At this moment, the other boys in the Genius Camp, except the few from the Davies family, were all whispering to each other.

Their topic of discussion was none other than ’Simon Davies’ who just had a naked run around them for ten rounds.

The boys from Third Squad were cheery.

"That Simon, who said he wouldn’t lend us his fire starter... Humph! We Third Squad don’t need to rely on anyone, thanks to Wyatt’s ’fire making from wood’ technique. We can easily make a fire even without a fire starter."

"Exactly! Wyatt is amazing to develop such a technique."

"I can’t believe Wyatt is only sixteen... When I was his age, I hadn’t even entered the Condensed Pill Realm, let alone be as skillful as he is."

"Simon will probably be a laughing stock from now on... "

"Speaking of which, his... ’bird’ looks so small, I wonder if it’s of any use."

"Shh! Lower your voice. He still belongs to the Davies family of County City. Be careful not to provoke him, or you’ll be in trouble."

"Right, let’s keep our voices low... To be honest, I also think his ’bird’ is really small. Like a bamboo skewer."

...

At this moment, the boys of the Third Squad were full of praise for Wyatt, but they were mercilessly trampling on Simon.

It seemed they had completely forgotten.

Just moments ago, they were very unhappy with Wyatt and had considered swallowing their pride to borrow fire from Simon.

Far away.

Centurion ’Declan Yorke’ was nibbling on the roasted meat, his gaze fixed on Wyatt...

He found this boy really intriguing.

Even such an ingenious method of making fire was brought up by him, a pure genius!

Among the five Centurions, the instructor of the Third Squad, ’Jaz Martinez’, still looked astounded.

He finally understood.

As it turns out, the reason Wyatt had been unhurriedly heading towards Sunset Mountain Range today, not struggling for the fire starter, was that he had prepared beforehand...

He did not need a fire starter to make fire at all!

He started to realize the true potential of this boy.

Among the remaining four Centurions, two of them were acting nonchalant and indifferent.

The other two Centurions glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

They were both friends of Joseph Davies, Simon’s older brother. They felt a bit guilty for not being able to help Simon this time.

However, they soon revealed a flash of murderous intent in their eyes.
