When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
"Some of you better not hold us back, or we won't wait for you to fall behind!"
When Xu Zeyu spoke, he specifically glanced at Jiang Yuan, making it clear that Jiang Yuan was the one who would drag them down.
"Ignore him, he's just trying to get attention!" Yu Tu understood what Xu Zeyu meant, but ignored him and instead tried to persuade Jiang Yuan.
"What if we miss this opportunity?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.
The sniffer dog previously mentioned that the fifth island would appear three times a day, but he wasn't sure if that was really the case, so it would be safer to ask.
"Then let's wait and see. We'll let as many people as we can get in the first batch, just to scout things out!" Yu Tu replied without hesitation.
Jiang Yuan kept a close eye on the Xu family's eldest elder, assuming he had ulterior motives for concealing his possession of the Holy Spirit bloodline.
The sniffer dog, which had been waiting in the wings, pointed to a spot and said, "Thirty degrees east of south, twenty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty-four meters away."
The extremely accurate reporting instantly caused an uproar among the eight zodiac signs and the Xu family, young and old. The Xu family's eldest elder and Tianlong took the lead and quickly left the others far behind.
To traverse more than 20,000 meters in three minutes, and on a sea surface with very little land, is a speed that even a ninth-order psionic energy type who can hover in the air would find difficult to match.
"You guys go first. This time it's too far. If anyone can't make it, I'll take some people and go back into the ruins at sunset!" The sniff dog said helplessly as it saw the distance widening.
Covering 23,734 meters in three minutes is a distance that only the Swift Horse can match in the entire Chinese Zodiac. Even the mighty Heavenly Dragon cannot match the Swift Horse in a long-distance race.
As expected, although Elder Xu and Tianlong had the fastest burst speed, their speed began to decline after one minute, while Suma, known for his endurance, kept accelerating, and one minute was enough for him to enter sprint mode.
"Brothers, I'll go scout ahead for you. Wait for me at home!" Su Ma shouted triumphantly, and then disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Yuan's eyes gleamed. These people of the zodiac truly each possessed unique skills, and even he couldn't match the speed of this swift horse.
"Although Suma has a sharp tongue, no one among the ninth rank can match his speed! Don't be fooled by his lack of top-tier speed; at this speed, he could run for hours without even breaking a sweat!" Yu Tu had fallen to the back of the pack, but she knew that speed wasn't her strong suit, so she wasn't in a hurry. After all, there would be another chance to enter the ruins.
"You'll have to wait for the next batch!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he began to exert his strength. He accelerated from being alongside the Desire Rabbit to being several body lengths ahead of her. His speed was already extraordinary, and with the addition of the Divine Wings of the Xingzi Technique, it was enough to surpass that of an ordinary ninth-level cultivator.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan's speed was about to reach the level of Tianlong and the Xu family's Grand Elder, Yu Tu inexplicably reached out and grabbed Jiang Yuan.
"Big brother, please help me out!" Yu Tu said, sounding unsure of himself.
"Let go!" Jiang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. The moment he made contact, he felt something burrowing into the other person's body.
Yu Tu was startled by the shout, but seeing that she had fallen to the bottom, she still mustered her courage and said, "Unless you take me with you, I won't let you go!"
"Don't force me to hit you. Someone like you, I could make several people cry with one punch!" Jiang Yuanqiang threatened with a smile.
"It's better to cry than to be left behind and become food for the sea monster! You know, the sea monsters here can leap out of the water and devour living beings. I'm so slow, I might run into one!" Yu Tu knew that listening to others was useless at this moment, and playing the victim to gain sympathy was the best choice.
"Would it kill you to rush the next batch?" Jiang Yuan tried to shake off Yu Tu's hand, but the woman was so persistent that they couldn't have a peaceful breakup for the time being.
"I won't die, but I'll miss the opportunities within the ruins!" Yu Tu pouted and said aggrievedly.
Jiang Yuan was immediately filled with murderous intent. He glanced at the Suma, which was now just a tiny black dot in front of him, and finally relented, saying, "I'm warning you, this is the last time!"
"Young man, you are such a kind person!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's agreement, Yu Tu's aggrieved expression vanished, replaced by a beaming smile.
"Don't rush to thank me. Carpooling is also charged, and I won't let myself lose out!" Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, and his Divine Wings opened directly, instantly surpassing Tianlong and the others in speed, and even slightly inferior to Suma.
"We're sharing a ride!"
Yu Tu initially wanted to refuse, but after experiencing the extreme speed, she suppressed her slight dissatisfaction. She thought to herself, "With my looks, the fare will only be 1.26 yuan at most! Maybe this guy will take advantage of me, and I can even extort some money from him!"
She believed in her own charm and in the character of the Oath Apostle; she was certain he wouldn't renege on his promise, whether she took advantage of him intentionally or unintentionally.
Each of the eight zodiac signs and the Xu family members, young and old, has their own way of traveling, so after learning the location, they take different routes to the site where the ruins appeared. However, even though the routes are different, the connection between them remains.
The one leading the pack is still Suma, whose famous speed is well-deserved, and he is second to none in this kind of race.
However, the second place was a bit intriguing. Someone actually leaped through the air, and their aura was so mixed that it was impossible to tell whose aura it was.
"Damn, one of the people we just passed smelled like a rabbit!" Even though the sniffing dog couldn't see it, he could smell it.
"Impossible! You can let the little demoness act cute, but if you want her to travel, she'll probably be counting stones the whole way!" The Rat Eater was the first to object. He was also slow, but at least faster than the Desire Rabbit.
“Yes!” the rooster’s voice boomed. “The rabbit is known for its short legs. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was the rabbit that lost the race between the tortoise and the hare.”
"How gentlemanly you are to talk about a girl behind her back like that!" Sleeping Sheep flew through the air, not fast, but easy and effortless.
"Hurry up, the fifth island will close in thirty seconds!"
The sound of sniffing dogs could be heard. By now, it was already quite clear whether they could enter the fifth island. Most of them would have to wait for the next opportunity.
Three minutes is neither a long nor a short time, but it passes in the blink of an eye over a distance of more than 20,000 meters. When the sniffing dog stopped moving forward, everyone else who had not yet entered also stopped.
"Damn, traveling more than 20,000 meters between islands in the sea in three minutes is absolutely impossible!"
The first person to utter the curse was the Rat Eater.
“The island is too far away this time. I knew we wouldn’t be able to get in. Let’s just treat this as a warm-up. We’ll try again at sunset and try to succeed on our first try!” The sniff dog was not discouraged because he knew very well that the distance in the sea could not be crossed in three minutes.
"Tianlong didn't go in either!" Mingji saw Tianlong returning disappointed.
"Almost!" Tianlong turned around and gave a wry smile.
"Wait, which of us went in?"
