Chapter 55: I Didn't Expect to Be First Place
After leaving the area of the Rainbow Deer King, Wang Che continued walking towards the Floating Forest.
He walked and stopped along the way. It was about evening and he was only a few kilometers away from his destination.
The Floating Forest should be ahead.
Wang Che looked ahead. At the end of his vision, there was a dark area.
He could not see what was going on inside.
After such a long delay on the way, the other three should have already entered.
During this period, Wang Che was very vigilant.
He felt that there was definitely a Contract Soul Master behind the Nether Forest Snake.
However, in the wilderness, when Alert Eagles flew by, the other party would not be exposed.
As a precaution, Wang Che naturally walked very carefully.
Along the way, he also tested the green caterpillar's strength.
After receiving the Rainbow Deer King's Life Supplement and getting the grass life force, this child's physique had strengthened greatly.
Its health bar' had gotten longer.
Especially the light green patterns on its body.
When it used the soul skill, Energy Bomb, it would glow.
Unfortunately, along the way, the green caterpillar had not completely learned this move.
At this moment, Wang Che continued forward with the green caterpillar. They walked for a few more miles.
He suddenly discovered a few wooden houses not far ahead.
The wooden house was surrounded by a few fences, and there were many soul pets eating inside.
Young man, it's getting dark. Are you going to the Floating Forest? Do you want to rest here and go tomorrow?
The wooden door at the front opened and a kind-looking old granny walked out, This is the wilderness soul pet rest center. It's specially built for the Contract Soul Masters who came to explore. You can take a rest here.
Wang Che walked over and looked around. He refused, Thank you. We'll be there soon. There's no need to rest.
Then you have to be careful. In the wilderness at night, there are many rather troublesome soul pets. Moreover, the Floating Forest is completely dark. Normally, Contract Soul Masters who explore will choose to camp in the wilderness for a night and enter the Floating Forest during the day.
The old granny kindly reminded him, Before you, there were about three children of the same age who rested here for a while. You should be the champions of this year's Enlightenment Cup, right? After entering the Floating Forest, you have to be careful. It's best if you travel together.
The old granny kindly reminded him.
Wang Che thanked her and walked forward with the green caterpillar.
Ssss!
The green caterpillar looked back and saw the old lady waving at them. She called out to Wang Che.
It seemed to be asking:Why aren't we stopping to rest?
I've rested enough on the way.
Wang Che looked back and said, There should be someone coming to the Floating Forest. There's no need to delay on the way.
The man and caterpillar gradually disappeared from sight.
The old granny watched for a while before turning around and returning to the house.
There were many soul pets in the room.
She went to the window and raised her hand. A small cawing bird flew to her shoulder.
The old granny's fingertips moved slightly. She rubbed the Cuckoo Bird's wings a few times and quickly flew into the sky, following the flying-type soul pet into the distance.
Go. The old granny said.
Caw caw!
The Cuckoo Bird gently flapped its wings and flew out.
Then, she stood outside the window and shook her head
As he got closer to the Floating Forest, Wang Che discovered that there were fewer soul pets.
However, the Floating Forest was indeed getting closer and closer.
Interestingly, Wang Che roughly knew why the Floating Forest was called the Floating Forest.
From afar, it looked like a floating island.
Dense black smoke shrouded the area. One could vaguely see many plants, soil, rocks, and so on floating in the air.
The range was huge and difficult to grasp.
My soul power is becoming increasingly unstable
Wang Che pondered and said, However, the density of soul power has increased. However, no matter how dense the soul power is, it's very unstable and difficult to absorb. Other than that there are several complicated energy auras They're very chaotic.
As he approached the Floating Forest, Wang Che saw the tent of the Military Contract Soul Masters.
It was guarding the Floating Forest from a thousand meters away.
Compared to the previous wilderness grassland, the Floating Forest called Soul Earth was clearly more mysterious and special.
Wang Che, you're finally here! Why are you so slow?
Chen Fei, Bai Youyou, and Cheng Cheng had been here for a while.
I told you. If there was a companion who supported each other along the way, it would definitely move faster than you alone.
Bai Youyou chuckled, You just had to be alone. Great, you'll probably be last in the competition. You only arrived when it's turned dark.
According to the records, the fastest person is Feng Xiao, the champion of the Enlightenment Cup in Glory Capital. He used the shortest time and arrived in less than three hours.
The records of the first competition were naturally recorded.
Wang Che, you set off from the border. The time you took to arrive was six hours and 25 minutes.
A soldier walked up and took out an instrument, Currently last place in the competition. No reward.
Wang Che had been delayed for a few hours because of the deer incident. Otherwise, at a normal speed, he would not have been last.
However, he naturally did not care about this. The reward from the Rainbow Deer King was enough.
Chen Fei was the fastest. Bai Youyou was a chatterbox as she spoke, That Thunderbolt Eagle can scout the wilderness. He directly calculated the best route to avoid most of the troublesome soul beasts. He arrived in less than four hours and is currently ranked fifth.
Chen Fei adjusted his glasses and said, It was expected.
This guy was quite good at posturing.
There's nothing wrong with being alone, Cheng Cheng said.
Tch, you're slower than me, Bai Youyou said, You still have the nerve to say that. I asked you to come with me, but you didn't want to be alone. You were half an hour slower than me.
I was unlucky and encountered a few Life Tricker Bees, that's all.
Wang Che also encountered a few Life Tricker Bees on the way.
It looked like a hornet. Half of it was the size of a head, and the rest was half the size of a person.
The reason it was called the Life Tricker was that this soul beast sharp needle would change according to time.
Sometimes, it would produce poison, and sometimes, it would produce mucus.
Poison was naturally fatal, but the mucus produced had a miraculous effect on the human body. It could strengthen the body and soul pet's physique.
So far, research had not been able to explain the patterns of its behavior.
Therefore, once a person was pricked, they would either be poisoned or be able to improve slightly.
Of course, most people avoided it.
No one was willing to bet their lives on such a thing.
At this moment, the soldier suddenly walked over and said with a strange expression,
Wait, Wang Che, your results have changed. Because you helped the military resolve a special wilderness incident, you have gotten a reward for this competition, reducing your time by half.
Therefore, your current results are three hours and twelve minutes. You're temporarily in first place.
???
???
???
The three of them were stunned.
Wang Che was also stunned.
There was such a thing?
Wang Che frowned slightly, This isn't too good, right? I didn't expect to be first.
He had never cared or even considered this competition
The three of them:
