Chapter 1838: Sea of Ten Thousand Islands
With all kinds of thoughts, the second small cycle of the trial officially began.
After gaining experience, everyone knew where they needed to go. Compared to the hesitation and unease during the first selection of the teleportation array, this ti, the vast majority were very quick.
In a very short ti, more than half of the lives had disappeared into the teleportation array, reaching their hunting areas for the next three days.
Ye Zhongming was among the first batch to arrive at the destination via the teleportation array, which was Area Twenty-Eight, the Sea of Ten Thousand Islands.
He naturally had his own plans for coming here.
Firstly, based on previous experience, Ye Zhongming knew that not too many evolved ca here; at least, he hadn't encountered any during those ten hours.
No evolved ant no competition.
Secondly, Hawkins and Aimusi would most likely continue to pursue and kill him. Then, the ocean here would be Ye Zhongming's main stage, which could maximize his strengths and effectively counter his opponents' weaknesses.
Another point was that so of the materials needed by that female life form were in the Sea of Ten Thousand Islands, with several being unique to it. Ye Zhongming even felt that he might encounter that female life form here. If he could perform a heroic rescue, then the squad might gain an outstanding mber.
The Sea King's Crown had been upgraded, so the number of Sea King's Marks had increased. Ye Zhongming implanted this ability in both Jie Kui and Shi Kangbu, giving them the capital to move in the sea.
Needless to say, the way the two looked at Ye Zhongming was one of awe.
Being able to gift soone a certain ability was already beyond what a human could do. In their view, besides gods, only the wheel could do such a thing.
After the three arrived at the Sea of Ten Thousand Islands, they imdiately ran at full speed to the seaside and leaped into the seawater. A few seconds later, Hawkins and the others arrived.
After wildly attacking the seawater for a while, they temporarily gave up the pursuit of Ye Zhongming amid Aimusi's screams.
There was no help for it. The teleportation array would teleport one person or one team at a ti based on personal will, and each teleportation had a cooldown period. This interval varied in length depending on the distance of the region, but the shortest was a few seconds, and the longest could be almost ten seconds.
The teleportation interval for the Sea of Ten Thousand Islands was five seconds. This bit of ti allowed Ye Zhongming's three people to rush into the sea.
About half a minute later, one of the two newly added mbers of the Hawkins squad suddenly said, "Done."
The anger and unwillingness on Aimusi's face all disappeared in an instant, replaced by a mysterious smile.
"How is it?"
She looked at the new mber who had spoken.
"Already far away." The new mber opened his eyes, revealing that his eyes weren't structured with pupils or the like, but seed to be two light screens displaying so mysterious patterns and numbers.
"That direction, currently one thousand ters away, and he is continuing to move away at about fifty ters per second."
"Swimming quite fast."
Aimusi laughed coldly, completely without the feeling of loss from the end of the last cycle. Confidence reappeared on her face.
"A complete information map of the Sea of Ten Thousand Islands bought for fifty points. I hope it can show its value."
Hawkins took out an animal skin map and handed it to the other new mber.
That one took it, opened it, looked, and nodded. "Don't worry. With this, they won't be able to escape even more. Start now?"
Aimusi shook her head. "No. Since he certainly can't escape, let him accumulate so points for us. We'll go kill them on the last day."
"Now let's see, where should we start hunting first?"
…………………………………………
"They didn't chase us." Shi Kangbu wiped his forehead, unsure whether it was sweat or seawater.
Ye Zhongming hadn't ntioned these things to him before. Seeing six pursuers, he was a bit nervous.
But both the Cloud Peak King and Jie Kui could tell that although this Shi Kangbu was nervous, he wasn't afraid.
From this point of view, this guy was a qualified teammate.
"In the sea, they can't do anything to Ye and us. Let them chase behind; we'll earn our points."
"Less than an hour until the red na refresh. I hope fewer murderous maniacs are coming here." Jie Kui treaded water with his feet, keeping a close eye on the surroundings and speaking.
Ye Zhongming didn't speak, just looked into the distance. He always felt a bit uneasy. Aimusi and the others didn't seem to have entered the water to track. Wasn't this giving up too easily? Also, the two new mbers joining the pursuit team should be able to help them. So what were their abilities? Were they able to track them, or did they simply significantly increase their combat power?
"Ye, here."
Jie Kui suddenly took out sothing and handed it to Ye Zhongming, surprising the Cloud Peak King.
"Don't say you didn't see my points decrease. You're so smart; you should have guessed."
What Jie Kui handed to Ye Zhongming was a bottle of Negative Status Cleanser.
Today was the fourth day, the day a new negative status from Naka's Curse took effect. This ti, what Ye Zhongming lost was his vision. He quickly used the one he had reserved beforehand to cure it. Up to now, he still lacked the sense of sll and taste.
"Tomorrow is the last day of Naka's Curse. Regardless of which sense is lost— vision, hearing, or touch —use this bottle to recover. It can allow you to maintain combat power."
Jie Kui placed the potion in Ye Zhongming's hand, putting on a dissatisfied expression. "I thought you would take the initiative to tell
to use my remaining points to buy you a bottle. Who knew you absolutely wouldn't speak up? Were you afraid that if you asked, I would make you pay back the money, no, the points?"
Ye Zhongming smiled and patted Jie Kui's shoulder. If Cloud Top people were here, they would know this was their King's way of showing great approval for soone.
Among the hundred thousand plus warriors of the entire Cloud Top Mountain Stronghold, very few had this honor.
"I won't pay you back the points; this was given to
proactively."
Hearing Ye Zhongming say this, Jie Kui rolled his eyes, his face full of the look of "unfortunate in friendship" and ‘life is not worth living’.
"But, I will lead you to earn many, many points, so many that even ten more Naka's Curses couldn't harm us in the slightest!"
Shi Kangbu looked at the two n, sowhat understanding why they could not only survive but also achieve good rankings.
"Now, let's start earning the first points of this small cycle. I think the three of us should be able to enjoy a delicious all-fish banquet in two hours."
After speaking, Ye Zhongming took the lead, swimming into the distance.
………………………………………………
Not long after Ye Zhongming's and Hawkins's squads left, that female life form actually also appeared from the teleportation gate. She first observed her surroundings for a few seconds, then her body moved and turned into a shower of water droplets sprinkling on the vegetation nearby, quickly moving away.
Behind her, a mont later, appeared a group of strange lives entirely clad in black armor. One of the smaller ones crouched on the ground, sniffing around, then pointed in the direction where the female life form had disappeared.
