Chapter 211 First Steps, Mysterious Cave!
There was something shadowy ahead, like the shadow of something.
A slender leaf drifted down from the sky and landed on the raft.
Ji Xinghan looked up and found that the starlight had disappeared, and there seemed to be a dark shadow high above her head, obscuring the moon.
Bu Zhidao got excited and looked up: "Those are leaves, right? Right?"
It was pitch black, I couldn't see anything.
Bu Zhidao excitedly rowed the boat with all his might, and after rowing for a while, he saw a glimmer of light ahead.
Bu Zhidao became alert: "It's over, it's over, it seems someone beat us to it!"
He slowed his rowing, letting the sound of the water gradually fade away, and slowly approached. As they drew closer, they finally saw clearly that there really was a big tree in front of them.
The tree was enormous, so large that it would take dozens of people to encircle it. It stood tall and its branches spread out like a giant umbrella, covering an area of several hundred meters.
The lights are brighter now.
The big tree grows on an island, which is very small, so only one big tree grows there.
Ji Xinghan stopped Bu Zhidao: "Wait!"
She heard a warning voice: [Strong premonition, please stop! Danger! Danger!]
Bu Zhidao was getting a little anxious: "Someone got here before us. If we don't go now, there won't be any soup left!"
He paddled a few more meters.
Ji Xinghan stood warily at the stern, staring at the distant light.
The raft continued to move forward, and Ji Xinghan waited silently. Although her strong premonition had given her a warning, she also wanted to move forward a little further.
There are many dangerous places, but we can't give up just because they are dangerous. They finally found this place, how can we stop and move forward?
Try again!
"Chirp chirp!" "Flutter flutter," the birdsong accompanied the sound of wings flapping as a flock of small birds flew through the air.
Bu Zhidao tilted his ear and said, "Hey, they're not happy either!"
Ji Xinghan stared ahead: "Someone raided their hideout, disturbing their sleep. How can anyone be happy?"
Ahead, there were sounds of weapons clashing and the mournful cries of strange beasts.
The noise grew louder, and Bu Zhidao became nervous: "A fight has broken out up ahead? Are they fighting over the decision stone?"
After walking another hundred meters, Bu Zhidao whispered, "Oh no, we really need to hurry up. If we're any later, they'll have taken all the decision stones."
Ji Xinghan gripped his longsword tightly as a sharp warning sound rang out:
[A strong premonition! Stop moving! Stop immediately! Danger!]
[Danger! Proceeding further carries a 70% chance of death!]
[Danger! Danger! Go any further and you're guaranteed to die!]
"Wait!" Ji Xinghan stopped Bu Zhidao, his expression serious. "You can't go any further!"
Her hair stood on end, and she sensed an extreme danger, as if taking another step would lead to utter destruction.
Bu Zhidao was a little embarrassed: "If we wait any longer, there really won't be any left!"
Ji Xinghan: "Stop!"
That's too dangerous!
She commanded Bu Zhidao: "Quickly, retreat! It's dangerous!"
Although Bu Zhidao didn't know why, seeing Ji Xinghan's serious face, he still moved the boat back a little.
Ji Xinghan closed his eyes and sensed the movement: "Swipe to the left, quick!"
She directed Bu Zhidao to row, and they circled half a circle around the big tree until the light next to the tree could no longer be seen. Only then did Ji Xinghan tell Bu Zhidao to stop.
They waited there for a while, and then Ji Xinghan told Bu Zhidao to row a boat and they went ashore from a dark place. The two of them hid the luminous pearl and continued on their way in the dark.
I quietly walked inside.
The branches and leaves of the tree hung down, perfectly concealing the two people's figures.
[A strong premonition of danger!]
Ji Xinghan shuddered, stopped in his tracks, and pulled Bu Zhidao back. The two stood silently, not daring to make a sound.
About two minutes later, two figures hurried over.
The light was too dim, and Ji Xinghan could only make out that the two people were wearing black robes and cloaks, with their faces covered by hats.
One of the female voices said, "What's the rush? Qiaoqiao is about to get the decision stone, can't she wait a bit?"
Another person spoke in a low voice, clearly a middle-aged man, saying, "It's dangerous enough already, why are you making things worse? Let's go, we've already broken the rules!"
Ji Xinghan was startled; the voice sounded familiar!
She stared intently outside.
The two figures, unaware of the others, continued walking and talking.
The female voice didn't care: "So what if it's against the rules? They want the red team to win anyway."
The male voice was furious: "What do you know? We're just small fry. If anything happens, we'll be cannon fodder. Sigh, we have no choice but to take action. If we don't, Qiaoqiao will be killed by that little girl Ji Xinghan!"
The woman scoffed, "Don't worry, with our help, Qiaoqiao will soon achieve great things. Hmph, just wait and see, Ji Xinghan won't be able to keep up this for long!"
The man's voice was filled with worry: "We killed the alien beasts, we cleared the levels, and all that's left for Qiaoqiao is to retrieve the decision stone. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
The woman's voice suddenly turned into a mechanical, electronic voice: "You think too highly of Qiaoqiao. It's alright, let's go!"
Ji Xinghan's gaze turned cold.
It's them!
Ji Wenqiao's parents, who are also her uncle and aunt, never expected that they would be doing so well!
It was earned by selling out one's conscience!
No wonder, no wonder Ji Wenqiao always has people helping her!
So it was these two people!
However, Ji Wenqiao's parents were not particularly capable, let alone ruthless and unscrupulous. How did they come to have such great power now?
That's so strange!
These two people are not simple; she can't go out now!
Finally, the two of them walked away.
With the crisis averted, Ji Xinghan moved and quickly walked towards the source of the light.
If I'm not mistaken, Ji Wenqiao is installing the decision stone!
Bu knew that he was following closely from behind.
After walking for a while, the two finally circled around to the other side of the big tree and saw the light of the luminous pearl.
They saw a large tree hole.
The light of the luminous pearl emanated from the tree hole.
On the ground lay a jumble of strange beast bones and bloodstains, the stench of which filled the air and was extremely unpleasant.
Ji Xinghan held his breath, walked through the gaps between the alien beast corpses, arrived at the entrance of the tree hole, and decisively went inside.
The tree hollow was over ten meters long. She had only walked a few meters when she heard the announcement:
[Congratulations to Ji Wenqiao of the Red Team for discovering the mysterious cave and obtaining a massive amount of Decision Stones!]
Bu Zhidao's anxious voice cried out, "Look, look at the leaderboard!"
The leaderboard for the Red Team has changed, with Ji Wenqiao now in first place.
Red team: block;
First place: Ji Wenqiao, a decision-making stone;
...
Blue Team: Block:
First place: Jiang Youyou: 8130 Decision Stones;
Second place: Qi Xiangxiang, 4018 decision stones;
...
On the leaderboard, Ji Wenqiao suddenly gained 300,000 decision stones, forcefully climbing to the top and occupying first place in the red team.
Such a major change was noticed by many players, and immediately, an uproar ensued:
"Who is Ji Wenqiao? How is she so powerful that she suddenly has 300,000 decision stones?"
"My God, the Red Team has almost three times the number of decision stones as the Blue Team. The Blue Team is finished, and the Red Team is doomed. Even if they keep going until 10 a.m. tomorrow, they still can't surpass us!"
"Hahaha, our red team is definitely going to win!"
At this moment, Ji Xinghan had already quietly entered the cave.
She saw Ji Wenqiao, who had her back to her.
Ji Wenqiao had just stood up, carrying a cloth bag in her hand, her body trembling slightly, when she let out a suppressed laugh: "Hahaha, Ji Xinghan, you're finished!"
