Chapter 265 Tian Haixing Searches for an Island
"Captain, someone's coming up from below!"
Lin Sen, who had been paying attention to the situation at the rear of the team, lay on Kong Haichao's back to warn him.
Without even looking up, Chen Xingyuan said, "Ignore them for now and keep moving forward!"
At the command, the team members couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Climbing this mountain is difficult for them, but it is not easy for others either. Their team is already one step ahead, and as long as they maintain their advantage, victory is in sight. There is no need to worry about other teams catching up.
The team that came after them from the foot of the mountain soon discovered something unusual about the mountain. Many people were caught off guard and rolled down, and for a while, there were constant sounds of people cursing.
But there were also teams like Rong Zhen and his team, who calmed down and quickly found the knack of climbing the mountain, and began to closely follow the Starry Sky Team.
"No, we have to use the mecha to fly for a while." Kong Haichao climbed to the middle of the mountain, released the mecha and flew up with Lin Sen.
Hua Qiao followed behind the two of them and was already exhausted. Seeing this, she quickly entered the mecha and turned on the flight mode. She felt a pang of pain as she watched the energy in the energy tank being quickly consumed.
Chen Xingyuan carried Rong Zhen at the rear, and after they all boarded the mecha and flew safely, he also released the mecha to follow.
Rong Zhen was like a pendant on his body at this moment, passively changing venues and staying in the narrow cockpit with him to make the final sprint.
The mecha exhausted its energy and sent them to two-thirds of the way up, and they still had to climb the last one-third by themselves.
Some people in the team behind had already climbed halfway up the mountain.
After seeing how the Starry Sky Brilliant Team operated, these guys followed suit and began to climb the mountain alternately using mechas and manpower, with significant results.
However, the energy retention of each team's mecha is different, so the progress shown at this moment is naturally different.
Therefore, many people regret it.
If they had known that the mecha could decide the outcome in the final stage of the game, they would not have wasted so much time along the way.
Kong Haichao heard Lin Sen's observations and analysis of the team below and rejoiced in the team chat: "Thanks to the captain for restricting us from using the mecha's flight mode before."
Otherwise, they would definitely be under double the pressure and would not be able to win the championship as easily as they are now.
"That's right. A commander must look three steps ahead before taking one step. Our captain looks ten steps ahead before taking three steps." Lin Sen responded like a supporting actor.
Chen Xingyuan frowned, "Stop joking, both of you. Watch your step and climb to the top at full speed now!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qiao silently followed the team. When she passed by Rong Zhen, she saw her tied to Chen Xingyuan's back with a look of despair on her face, so she gave her a concerned look.
Rongzhen waved her hand, signaling her to concentrate on climbing the mountain.
It's just the last step left, and we can't let all our efforts go to waste because of carelessness.
Chen Xingyuan noticed their little movements and asked as he charged, "What's wrong?"
Rongzhen didn't want to talk under the bright sunlight.
Hua Qiao hesitated for a moment and spoke for her, "Captain, you carried Yun Zhenzhen on your back."
They were lying down before, but after coming out of the mecha, they were facing the sky with their backs to each other.
There are many stars hanging in the sky, how can we not expose them to the sun?
Chen Xingyuan paused and said that something felt wrong. It was soft before, but it was different this time.
"Sorry, I was in such a hurry to get out of the mecha just now that I didn't notice."
Chen Xingyuan corrected his mistakes as soon as he realized them. He quickly adjusted Rong Zhen's position and apologized sincerely.
Rong Zhen used his strength to turn over, and said with a stern face that it was okay. In fact, she wanted him to put her down, but Chen Xingyuan just disagreed.
During the conversation, they easily took the last bit of height.
A notification was quickly sent out on the optical computer that the Starry Sky Team won the first place in this game, and the teams that climbed up afterwards could only compete for the rankings at the bottom.
The points added to the top-ranked teams and individuals are higher than those of other rankings, which is beneficial for the final competition.
Back on the spaceship, the venue for the next game was announced shortly after the results of the game.
"It's Tian Haixing!" Kong Haichao shouted in surprise.
His home is also on a starfish, and he is very familiar with the environment of similar planets, so he has an advantage in the end.
After hearing this, Rong Zhen used the optical computer to check the introduction of Tianhai Star and found that it was a planet similar to Jinsha Star. Both were located in the edge of the galaxy, with simple natural conditions and no one living there.
The difference is that Jinsha Star is covered with yellow sand, while Tianhai Star is covered with sea water.
Yellow sand makes up the desert, and there are oases in the desert.
The sea water forms the ocean, and in the ocean there are islands.
Rongzhen and his team's mission this time is to find islands after landing, go to the islands to claim ownership, and occupy as many islands as possible. The one with the most islands wins.
“Plop!” “Plop!”
All the members of the Starry Sky Team were thrown down from the aircraft and fell into the vast, frighteningly blue ocean.
The good news is that all five of us are together. We didn’t get separated at the start and don’t need to waste time gathering together.
The bad news is that there is no sign of any islands around, and all you can see is the sea and the sky.
Oh, and there are sharks swimming towards them!
Chen Xingyuan immediately said, "Quick! Get on the assault boat!"
This was the reward they received as the champions of the previous game, and it was perfect to use at this moment.
However, to be fair, the assault boat is not equipped with an energy tank and requires human power.
Rong Zhen quickly took out the assault boat from his space button, and scrambled to climb on it with the other four people, then picked up the oars and slid madly.
The boat flew away from its original position like an arrow released from a bow.
Since there was no sign of an island around, they planned to explore in one direction first, and then turn back to explore other places if it didn't work.
The organizers of this event didn't give any clues, and I can't fly into the air to check, so I can only try this first.
As it turned out, with the male and female protagonists, their team had good luck and one of the blind auditions soon produced a result.
Seeing the land appear in sight from afar, everyone excitedly quickened their movements.
The island is not big and has no vegetation, only rocks and thick bird droppings, which smell very touching.
Rongzhen was left on the boat and did not go to the island because it was too smelly.
However, Chen Xingyuan took the trouble to go to the island and mark it, reporting the location and coordinates as the first island occupied by their team.
A notification was subsequently made on the optical computer, and the Starry Sky Brilliant Team was still far ahead.
But before they could catch their breath, the sharks caught up with them again, and the five people got on the speedboat again to escape.
If it were in the past, Kong Haichao would have long been shouting that he wanted to counterattack and solve the problem, but this time he didn't say a word, obviously he was worried about something.
He was the only one in the team who was born as a starfish. Everyone trusted his judgment and tacitly did not ask any more questions. They just focused on rowing and escaping.
Only after running hundreds of miles and shaking off the sharks did Kong Haichao have time to explain, "The sharks chasing us don't look very old. They were probably released by the adult sharks to train. Hitting the young ones will only attract the older ones. Once blood is drawn, it's very likely to attract larger shark-eating species. It's not worth wasting time with them."
Their mission is to occupy more islands, not to kill more marine creatures.
This is also what Chen Xingyuan meant. The strategy of this game is to avoid danger if possible, try not to waste time fighting, and avoid putting the cart before the horse.
Having set the tone for this trip, everyone stopped to rest for a while before setting off again.
We didn't see the second island for a long time, but we did hear a killer whale calling for help.
The guy's body was two or three times the size of their speedboat, and his back was covered with parasites, and he wanted their help to remove them.
Lin Sen joked at the time: "If you can help us find an island, we promise to get you there cleanly."
The killer whale blinked, cleverly turned around and swam back. After swimming for a while and seeing that they had not caught up, it kept shaking its head to remind them to catch up quickly.
Hua Qiao was surprised: "Is this a spirit?"
It actually understood and responded!
Kong Haichao said proudly: "Killer whales are very smart. Let's follow them and see."
The assault boat followed the killer whale for dozens of nautical miles, and a small island composed of coral reefs came into view.
The killer whales brought them here and called around the island. A moment later, more than a dozen killer whales, big and small, swam out of the sea.
Except for the baby killer whale, most of the other adult killer whales had parasites hanging on their bodies, and they were all looking at them eagerly.
Chen Xingyuan immediately ordered: "You go help them, I will go to the island to mark it and report it."
A small island is also an island and does not affect the count.
Since the killer whale really helped them find the island, they should keep their promise and help the killer whale group remove the parasites.
This is not difficult and will not take up much of their time.
The group of killer whales got rid of their illness and started to call quickly, guiding the speedboat in one direction.
Kong Haichao speculated that there should be an island there, so the team began to search in that direction.
After searching for a long time, I didn't find an island. Instead, I found a big turtle. Its back was like an island, firmly perched on the sea, with seabirds and dolphins resting and playing on it.
Rongzhen suddenly had an idea: "Why not try this?"
She had completed all her story missions and wish missions as early as when Yun Tiantian was taken away by the head of the Yun family. Now she didn't mind giving them some positive ideas.
"I don't think it will work." Lin Sen and Hua Qiao were not optimistic.
Kong Haichao's eyes lit up and he felt a little eager to make a move.
Chen Xingyuan glanced at Rong Zhen and tried on the turtle's back, but he didn't get counted. Instead, he got a warning, telling them not to try to cheat and to compete seriously.
Rongzhen: ...
I'm speechless. Before, when she was maliciously trying to hold the team back, she always helped the team by accident. Now that she really wants to help, she ends up holding them back.
Kong Haichao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chen Xingyuan coughed and came to her rescue, saying, "It's okay. Since there are sea turtles traveling, there must be land ahead. Keep going!"
He was right. There was indeed an island ten nautical miles ahead, but another team had taken the initiative and attacked it first.
Seeing that they had already landed on the island and were preparing to mark it, Rongzhen and the others could only regret that they were late and planned to turn around and look elsewhere.
But before they could leave, the giant turtle they had just encountered suddenly emerged from the sea, rushed onto the island and swept the entire team into the sea. Then, it used its huge body to firmly occupy the island, not allowing any creature to approach.
Seeing that the team was about to fail and suffer heavy losses, Kong Haichao and Lin Sen said at the same time: "I have an idea!"
Then the two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding, understanding each other without words.
A minute later, the assault boat rushed towards the island with the concerted efforts of the Starry Sky Team. Taking advantage of the waves stirred up by the big turtle, it took off with the wind and flew from one side of the island to the other in a parabola.
When passing directly above the turtle's back, Chen Xingyuan immediately marked it, reported the coordinates, and passed the identification.
The third island was thus obtained smoothly.
The assault boat also landed smoothly on the other side of the island amid everyone's cheers, and the splashes of water formed a beautiful rainbow in the air.
Where some are happy, others are sad.
The team that was intercepted watched their tricks in amazement. When they realized what was happening, they immediately refused to do it and shouted at them angrily: "You are cheating! We are protesting to the teacher!"
Kong Haichao waved his fist and said, "You snitching spirit! Come and fight me if you don't agree!"
Lin Sen stopped him, "Don't fall for their tricks."
Instead of wasting time fighting with them here, it’s better to find the next one quickly.
Chen Xingyuan replied slowly, "It's your fault that you didn't mark it. It's our ability to occupy it. If you're not satisfied, just appeal and see how the judging panel decides."
The final result of the ruling was naturally not beyond his expectations. The Starry Sky Team was able to establish another island.
There was nothing that the unlucky team could do even if they were unwilling to accept the result. It was their own fault that they were not strong enough and the duck that was about to be grabbed flew away.
Rongzhen and his team won, but they also got stuck with something in the following time.
The other party always insisted that it was the Starry Sky Team that caused them to lose an island, so they had to find an opportunity to take one back.
Regardless of whether they have the ability or not, this kind of behavior is quite disgusting.
Fortunately, they later encountered a giant octopus. It was not known whether it was frightened by them or mistook their two teams for prey, but it waved its tentacles to attack them as soon as it saw them.
Rongzhen and the others were lucky enough to be rowing a speedboat, so they could work together to dodge and not be afraid of being separated.
The other team had all members riding on water boards, but they were accidentally knocked into the sea by the octopus tentacles and lost contact with their teammates.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xingyuan commanded the assault boat to break through and turn around, leaving the enemy team there as bait to attract their firepower, and he and his team members escaped.
Kong Haichao was overjoyed. "Let them stick to us. Now they've learned their lesson!"
What does it mean to lose both the wife and the army? This is it!
"Look, there's a forest in the distance!" Lin Sen was most sensitive to green plants, and pointed to the distant skyline in surprise to remind his teammates.
After hearing this, everyone was immediately excited and the oars in their hands were almost sparking.
Hard work pays off. Thanks to their efforts, the skyline slowly began to show signs of green. A vast group of islands gradually came into their sight. There were not only mountains on the islands, but also dense forests on the mountains.
Kong Haichao whistled excitedly, jumped into the sea, and swam towards the island like a fish.
Chen Xingyuan did not stop him.
Because a moment later, Kong Haichao came back and reported, "Captain, hurry up, there are no other teams on the island. We might be the first to find us. Send it!"
When the teammates heard this, their eyes lit up. They wished that Kong Haichao could carry Chen Xingyuan and swim over to mark it and put it in their pockets.
Fortunately, there were no other teams around, and the island group was finally successfully captured by them.
Afterwards, Chen Xingyuan asked Rong Zhen to put away the assault boat, select a suitable island as a campsite, and rest there for one night.
As for the next target, he already had a plan in mind.
