Chapter 1138: The Show Begins
With a single turn, the peach tree instantly transformed into a giant peach tree over ten meters tall!
It was covered with bright red fruit!
"Damn, what's the difference between this and a peach? Come on, let one fall down and I'll have a taste!" Even under the tree, Gu Yin could smell the sweet aroma of peaches!
A peach was picked from a branch of the peach tree and held out to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took the peach with both hands. It was almost the size of a bowl and smelled really good!
It was divided into several portions, and everyone tried some.
"Tell me, when you are extremely tired, and have no water or food, if you suddenly see a peach tree full of fruit, would you go up and pick them?"
Gu Yin looked at everyone.
Chu Yan nodded: "Of course I will. So, are you going to use peach trees to lure them?"
"Crunch!" Gu Yin took a bite of the crisp peach, smiled, and remained silent.
"As for the others, show us what abilities they have!"
Seeing that Gu Yin didn't seem to have any intention of harming them, the other trees were no longer afraid and began to display their abilities.
"I will shake off the thorns on my body."
"I have a well-developed root system, which allows me to move underground."
"I'm similar to a carnivorous plant; I can devour all living things."
"I can communicate with plants that are not yet intelligent, and I can also entangle and defend myself."
"I can......"
After hearing the introduction of these trees, Gu Yin was extremely satisfied!
She looked up at the sky: "Heavenly Dao, could you please come out for a moment?"
Chi Xing and Chi Ye were already used to it, but Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked up at the sky.
"She's truly a fairy undergoing tribulation."
Gu Yin: "...No, I'll talk to you about it another time."
"Why did you call me?"
A gentle breeze swept by, and a little squirrel landed on Gu Yin's shoulder.
Okay, today's destiny is the little squirrel.
Gu Yin turned her head slightly: "Could you upgrade them so that their abilities reach the level of our level four superhumans?"
"It hasn't even been ten years yet, why upgrade so quickly?"
"We need some special obstacles for our exercise tomorrow. Right now, they're too weak and not challenging enough. Upgrade them so my comrades can experience the cruelty of having mountains beyond mountains."
"Let me warn you first, once it's upgraded, it can't be changed. They will continue to grow, and it will be even more dangerous for you to come here after that."
Gu Yin looked at the trees with a warning: "It's alright. If any of them disobey, I don't mind uprooting them and burning them to ashes."
Those trees immediately shrank back.
Gu Yin absorbed heavenly lightning last time, so her lightning is no longer just the kind of lightning with supernatural abilities, but the thunder of heaven and earth.
Heaven didn't mince words. Since Gu Yin could bear the consequences herself, He would grant her wish. In any case, she had gained a lot of faith recently, so He was happy to be generous.
A beam of green light shot into the sky!
Those trees started growing like crazy!
The deep mountains, which were once able to see the sky, were instantly blocked out of all light!
"Taller than the trees in the world's largest primeval forest! It's breathtaking!"
Chu Yan had been to the largest primeval forest and seen trees that were hundreds or even thousands of years old, but he had never been as shocked as this scene!
"Nonsense, who am I! I am the Heavenly Dao. Alright, you can deal with it yourselves. I'm leaving."
The little squirrel leaped over a few tree trunks and disappeared.
"This smells amazing! It has a hallucinogenic effect. Perfect, little peach tree, shrink down. I'll arrange a place for you later, you can take root there and leave after the exercise is over."
Gu Yin arranged places for them one by one, and under her coercion and enticement, the trees obediently went to their places.
I didn't want to run away in the first place. The spiritual energy here is so great, and this human even knows the Heavenly Dao. It's better to befriend her than to offend her!
After making the arrangements, Gu Yin and her group went back.
I got up very early the next morning.
A group of fifty people were already waiting outside.
The first row was full of acquaintances.
The first group consisted of Lan Yan, You Niannian, and ten others. The second group included Bai Wuwen and other scions of noble families, followed by various warriors.
"To make a long story short, this is the first exercise for both ability users and cultivators. You are both teammates and enemies. Please remember, this is an individual competition. If you are among the top 20 and want to fly, then give it your all! Your goal is not here, but the stars and the sea! Alright, let's go!"
Blue Flame stepped forward to form a line, then led the way as they ran up the mountain.
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at Chi Xing: "Can you create rain and mist?"
"Absolutely!"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "The show is about to begin, let's go."
Gu Yin followed a group of leaders to the command post on a nearby mountaintop.
Here you can see the valley, the lakeside, and the forest clearly.
Everyone carried a communication device to liaise with the command center.
The communicator is similar to an action camera, allowing them to see the soldiers' surroundings and their movement trajectories.
Who do you think will come in first place this time?
Duan Chunjie looked at the huge screen, where the competitors had already entered the designated area for the competition.
Blue Flame is still leading the way.
"It should be Lan Yan. He's the highest-ranked among that group."
"I also think it's Captain Blue."
Duan Chunjie looked at Gu Yin,
"Ayin, what do you think?"
Gu Yin pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the crowd that had already dispersed on the big screen.
"Who knows? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. When someone is so powerful that everyone is wary of them, then the most dangerous person in the group is themselves."
"You mean they'll team up and get Blue Flame out of the game first?"
The person next to him immediately asked.
"If it were you, what would you do?"
"I might find a place to hide and come out when the time is right, to avoid their sharp edge."
"I'll team up; it's safest to team up!"
"I'll also form a team, but I'll wait until they've finished fighting before my team appears!"
"If we can team up, wouldn't the people coming from the base have a guaranteed win?"
They're talking about Lan Yan, You Niannian, Bai Wuwen, and others.
Gu Yin explained, "Don't worry, they can only form mixed teams or individual teams at most."
To prevent unfairness, people coming from the base can only form teams of five veterans and five newcomers, or they can form individual teams.
In the valley, Lan Yan looked at You Niannian, who was following closely behind: "Are you sure you want to come with me? I'll most likely become everyone's enemy. If you're with someone else, that's fine, but if you're with me, getting a spot won't be easy."
You Niannian shook her head: "I believe in myself, and I believe in you. My eyes and ears can pave the way for you, and your speed and strength can carry me forward. We are still husband and wife, with a great understanding and we can advance and retreat together. That's enough. Or is it that you don't want to?"
Lan Yan chuckled: "I couldn't be happier. Let's go, Comrade You. Those people are still observing. We need to get to the finish line as soon as possible. They're not scary. What's scary are A Yin and her five people!"
"Don't we need a few more people?"
Lan Yan shook her head: "More people would only be a burden to me. The two of us are enough."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a torrential downpour began on this otherwise sunny day!
Lan Yan frowned: "Chi Xing has made a move. It seems she's interfering with the weather. A Yin and Chu Yan's team will definitely fight us. We don't know when Xiao Guai will appear yet."
Listening to Lan Yan's analysis, Gu Yin smiled: "He does know us quite well. It's a pity there are more than just the five of us. The show is about to begin."
