The triathlon had already begun, and Xiaoxi and her friends hurried toward the ticket booth for the sightseeing package.
Cao Dabao was already there, excitedly raising the QR code on his phone.
"Xiaoxi, your brother Bao has already bought the tickets."
"Brother Da Bao is so thoughtful."
Cao Dabao even had a VIP gold card and used the VIP channel; otherwise, how could he have bought the ticket so quickly?
Everyone hurriedly boarded the boat; some were gold card members, and this boat was much larger than a regular sightseeing boat.
Four young staff members offered to come up and serve, saying they were in charge of rowing the boat.
"Thank you, but we'll row ourselves," Ye Yuan quickly declined.
They're here to investigate; how could they allow outsiders to monitor them? Besides, they have many sons, and this is the time to show off their strength.
The four young men chuckled and handed over their oars. They had originally agreed that rowing would cost extra, but now that was no longer an option.
This caused another delay, and Xiaoxi was extremely anxious.
However, with Cao Dabao, as well as the powerful sixth brother Ye Yanche, the fourth brother Ye Wentao, and the seventh brother Ye Yichen, they are not bad either.
Their VIP ship was almost as big as the participants.
The lake was teeming with people, like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The competition had just begun, and everyone was full of energy, basically swimming along with the main group.
Xiao Xiye has not found any classmates who have fallen behind.
My classmates all come from well-off families; every family has a swimming pool, so they've been exposed to swimming and fitness since they were little.
Despite being called a VIP boat, Xiaoxi actually saw an old boat with old oars, but Cao Dabao rowed it with great effort.
Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed; she had completely forgotten that Cao Dabao was also there.
I have too many friends, and they're all dear to me, especially Brother Da Bao, who almost died in Xishan. I really should pay close attention to him.
Xiao Xi sidled up behind Cao Dabao.
"Brother Da Bao, if anything unusual happens later, don't go to see it. We didn't come out here to play."
Cao Dabao immediately understood, after all, he was a friend of Xiaoxi, and those who knew, knew.
Xiaoxi didn't know how strong the other party was, and was afraid of discovering that they were there to investigate, so she didn't even put up a barrier. Today, she prepared high-level talismans that could conceal her strength.
This includes the talismans given to the math teacher and Xue Zhixian.
As more and more people on the lake became exhausted and fell behind, people gradually began to swim around Xiaoxi and her group's boat.
Xiao Xi used her divine power to communicate with her fifth brother, Ye Xingxian, who was competing in the distance.
Xiaoxi: Fifth Brother, is there anything unusual ahead of you? I'm fine here for now.
Ye Xingxian: I'm fine for now. Please don't call me unless there's a specific situation.
Xiaoxi will not be able to receive messages from Sixth Brother for the time being.
What Ye Xingxian didn't know, he was destined not to perceive anything today.
But Xiaoxi felt uneasy, and Xiaodou, who was sitting on her shoulders, could feel Xiaoxi's emotional fluctuations.
"Xiaoxi, I'll go down into the water and take a look."
"Okay, Xiaodou, be careful. Put on the camera."
Xiaodou carried the camera on her back and went into the water. Because there was no warm autumn sun on the lake, the light in the lake was dim.
Xiaoxi saw on the tablet that the lake water wasn't deep, but the aquatic plants were strange. They looked like seaweed and didn't sway naturally with the current. Instead, they were consciously and quietly reaching out to touch the people swimming across the water.
The water plants seemed to avoid those who were overweight or emaciated, not wanting to touch them at all.
Those with good physiques and strong bodies all swam to the front.
Xiaoxi understood; the water plants weren't attacking anyone, they seemed to be checking something out.
No wonder Fifth Brother didn't sense anything ahead; there were too many people ahead, including many outstanding individuals, so most of the water plants didn't have time to check on him.
