Chapter 59 Team Competition
The comic ends, let's shift the focus to the real world, the fantasy world of the team competition.
Now half of the day has passed and there are still twenty-four hours until the end of the competition.
The protagonists also encountered some teams along the way. Maybe it was because of their great luck that they eliminated the players without much effort. Those who were regulars on the radio had never encountered such a situation.
"It's strange. It's been so long. Why haven't Calint and the others come yet?" After walking for such a long time, Si Yuan leaned on the rocks to stretch his limbs. He raised his head and looked left and right. "I didn't hear that they were eliminated?"
Could it be that the marks they left behind were too covert and concealed themselves from their allies as well?
"Maybe the landing site is too far away."
They didn't drink any water along the way, so the first thing Lin Muyu did was to take out the water from his backpack and distribute it.
"There's still plenty of time, don't worry about this."
Fu Ling was stunned, staring blankly at the bottle of mineral water in front of her. She didn't expect that there was a bottle of mineral water that belonged to her. She couldn't help but feel moved and reached out to take it reverently.
She looked towards a tree hidden in the shadows not far away, and recalled the actions of the big guys along the way, and suddenly she understood.
"So you guys are working with Calint's group?"
"I didn't see them from where I was at the time, so they must have landed far away."
"Like that? That depends on luck. Anyway, our location is very hidden. We'll see when someone shows up."
Ye Yunhe looked around and was very satisfied with this natural hiding spot.
Surrounded by dense trees, it is located in the most remote corner of the illusion. There is no road behind, but there are obstructions in front and several escape routes on the side.
It's so suitable, as if it was specially grown like this for this team competition.
"Thanks to you, Xiao Heng. How did you find this place? It's more than enough for us to stay here until the end of the game."
"Great."
She raised her thumb and waved it towards the sky. Although she didn't know if she was in the right position, she believed that Qi Heng could see it.
Soon, a "Y"-shaped branch slowly fell from above and was easily grasped by Ye Yunhe.
Look, you said you could see it, right?
"Anyway, let's tidy this place up first!"
Si Yu'an was in high spirits. After jumping a few times on the spot to stretch his body, he ran to the outer circle carrying his backpack.
At present, it is not known whether the weather in the illusion will change. In order to prevent night from turning into day, corresponding traps must be set up in advance to delay the opponent at the critical moment.
Anyway, the top brass have always kept their mouths shut and won't reveal any information to them, so they can only choose to adopt the method of remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
"Then I'll leave this to you, Captain." Ye Yunhe turned and nodded to Lin Muyu, "Fu Ling, come with us to search the area."
"Oh, okay!"
The girl who was trying to help responded immediately and ran hurriedly towards Ye Yunhe. She was almost tripped by the scattered branches and leaves on the ground, and she screamed while maintaining her balance.
"I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed."
She was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly adjusted herself, and said calmly with her hands on her hips.
"Don't think I'm a little lazy now. I'm just too nervous and excited. In fact, my physical skills are still very good!"
"I know that." Ye Yunhe took back his hand and said in approval, "There's nothing to be nervous about. We are all people with special abilities. We will need your special abilities to help us investigate when the time comes."
"Make sure to complete the mission!"
Fu Ling's expression suddenly became serious and he answered firmly.
Immediately, she showed a cautious expression again, glanced up, and asked softly: "That's right, does that guy want to come with us? I always feel that he doesn't like me."
oh.
Seeing this, Ye Yunhe also looked upwards and spun the branch in his hand around his fingertips.
She also lowered her voice: "Don't worry about this, it's just my personality. Xiaoheng has no problem with you."
"Besides, the contract symbol you picked up on the road has been sworn by you, so relax and get familiar with it."
Fu Ling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Just as she was about to smile broadly, she was startled by the sudden movement at close range. Her breath got stuck in her throat and she choked.
A person suddenly fell from the dense leaves above, and the gust of wind brought a few leaves with it, which blew into their faces with a loud snap.
Very accurate too.
“…”
Fu Ling raised her hand to pick off the leaves on her face and felt a little pain.
“…”
Lin Muyu, who was arranging items, watched silently.
“…”
The culprit froze, having not expected such a dramatic development. For a moment he did not know whether he should look up.
He quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the two victims with unpredictable expressions. Seeing that the leaf was still stuck on Ye Yunhe's face, he stood up calmly, and reached out to take it off despite the other party's oppressive gaze.
"…I'm sorry, I didn't notice."
Looking at the obvious red marks on the two people's faces, he put his hands behind his back and apologized honestly.
"…I'm fine, just a little painful."
Fu Ling wiped her face.
It was not an illusion. From the eyes of this cold boy, with whom she had only exchanged one sentence, she saw a trace of helplessness after doing something wrong. The cautiousness that had originally arisen from the other party's behavior suddenly disappeared, and he even seemed to be thinking about something.
"I'm fine, it just hurts a little." Ye Yunhe rubbed his face, pinched Qi Heng's cheek and twisted it gently, threatening, "If you don't pay attention next time, I'll bury you in the leaves."
The boy nodded obediently, feeling a little uncomfortable with his cheek being pinched.
The leaves in his hand were instantly turned into ashes by the supernatural power, fluttering to the ground and blending into other branches and leaves.
Fu Ling, who was standing by, watched the scene quietly, feeling that no amount of words could comfort her, could reach the level of witnessing it with her own eyes.
Just like now, she was no longer cautious about Qi Heng's cold behavior.
Indeed, although he looks cold, he is actually easy to get along with and is very polite. He is also one year younger than me. Hey, from this perspective, she is still a wild sister!
A hidden smile formed on her lips as she suddenly realized something.
——
After many twists and turns, the three finally began to explore the nearby area.
After specifying their respective directions, Qi Heng, whose face was released, disappeared in a flash, leaving Fu Ling and Ye Yunhe standing there speechlessly.
"There's really no other way, so why don't we go together?"
Ye Yunhe shook his head and sighed, and after signaling to Fu Ling, the two of them walked away in the opposite direction.
After walking for about half an hour, they heard a noisy sound in the distance. The two stopped, hid behind a wide tree, and poked their heads out to check carefully. There is a big tree nearby that has been chopped down several times by someone, and it is obvious that a fight has taken place here.
After waiting for a while, the sound remained in the same place and did not come closer.
They looked at each other, Fu Ling raised her hand to recommend herself, and was affirmed by Ye Yunhe.
"Be careful." The other party whispered.
Fu Ling made an "OK" gesture and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something. She took off the red rope on her wrist and stuffed it into Ye Yunhe's palm before leaving.
She did not activate her supernatural powers first, but instead sneaked towards the sound cautiously. After she estimated that she was about the right position, she activated her supernatural powers carefully, and strode forward confidently with her chest held high.
As others were staring intently, the girl suddenly disappeared into thin air, as if she had evaporated on the spot.
The effect is so remarkable.
Ye Yunhe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It really is a very useful ability. It is great for both escaping and searching. It has no disadvantages except that it consumes a lot of energy. If...
Um?
The heartbeat suddenly stopped, and Ye Yunhe was stunned.
What do you want? No, what was she thinking just now?
Wasn't she checking the safety of the surrounding area? Why did she hide behind a tree? Was there an enemy attacking?
Ye Yunhe quickly retracted his head, his face turned cold, and he subconsciously thought that he had been attacked by supernatural powers, causing him to lose his memory. His hand immediately reached for the dagger tied to his thigh.
Damn it, she was careless, she needs to hurry up...
She felt an inexplicable touch on her hand, as if something was held in her palm and was rubbing against her skin due to the movement.
"?"
Ye Yunhe spread his hands and looked down——
It is a red bracelet with a golden bell.
The memory returned the moment her eyes touched the bracelet, and a person who had been forgotten finally emerged, proving that the magic of forgetfulness she was suffering from came from friendly forces.
"ah."
The hand holding the dagger paused, Ye Yunhe remained silent, and retreated back under the tree to wait.
It seems that in addition to the rapid energy consumption, there are still disadvantages.
——
The foresighted Fu Ling had already arrived at his destination.
She leaned openly against a tree trunk not far away, glancing at the four people who were fighting desperately like a leader on patrol.
A missed attack came straight towards her. The girl let out a cry of surprise, then unfortunately gave up her original cool attitude and turned around to dodge gracefully.
"What bad luck! This can bring disaster to me."
She cursed and continued to try to identify the faces of these people, trying to match their information in her memory.
"Hiss... why are you moving so hastily? Can you turn your back so I can take a closer look?"
Squinting his eyes, Fu Ling searched with difficulty with his sight.
Based on the surrounding environment and the footprints on the ground, she barely pieced together the course of events.
These four people probably belong to two different teams. They should be fighting and moving at the same time. I don’t know how many roads they have crossed to get here. They are obviously exhausted but unwilling to give the other side a way out. Both sides are like stubborn donkeys.
The opponent is not a carrot, so why bother with it?
"Really? Looking at them like this, I think they need to move away so they don't end up in my thigh nest."
At this distance, there is no need to go back and report. Judging from the breathless look, he probably finished halfway through.
Fu Ling frowned, scratched the rough tree trunk with her hands, and her brain began to work rapidly.
In a moment, her eyes lit up and she thought of an idea that would not harm the boss and would benefit herself.
Her eyes immediately changed, and the girl reached for the uniform she had secretly modified, grabbed a few darts from the hidden pocket, and smiled maliciously.
"How about...I will accept it with pleasure?"
"Hehe, as the saying goes, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Since you are not worried about being reaped, then I will be the oriole and teach you a lesson!"
By the way, use it to fill my poor points library!
Waiting for the opportunity to come, Fu Ling felt the darts in his hand were ready to move, and he couldn't wait to eliminate the enemy and get a huge reward.
The leaves fell, and the breath of the person hiding behind the tree was barely audible. He patiently observed the actions of the four people not far away.
No one noticed that there was a "yellow bird" hiding here, and they were all eager to decide the winner.
Soon, with perfect timing.
The psychic hiding behind the earth shield had his vision blurred by sweat. When he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his sore eyes, a silver light flickered in the moonlight, and a sound of breaking through the air came, piercing the throat accurately before the prey noticed.
Blood spurted out, followed by two muffled groans.
Is there anyone else? !
Without time to be happy about the points received, Fu Ling widened her eyes and looked at the psychic who died almost at the same time on the other side. She looked around vigilantly and ran towards the prepared route.
The two psychics who had inexplicably lost their teammates also dodged in panic, but the miserable trees that were knocked down around them could not provide them with any help, so that after they looked at each other, they instantly turned from opponents to teammates.
An earth shield rose out of thin air, and the two men rolled over to hide in the defense. The poor energy surged in their bodies, trying to play a greater role.
In a short period of time, three camps emerged.
The body of the eliminated mutant turned into a point of light and dissipated, leaving only a dart that fell to the ground and a sharp metal fragment that pierced through the body and was firmly stuck in the ground.
