631 Chapter 631 “Diving To The Lake“
"What a weird system." Li Shi Ying listened carefully and couldn’t help but silently comment. The rule of the second round was more like a war she knew in a mobile game. One had to conquer other people’s kingdom/bases while defending their own base.
But in this second round...they could move the base! It’s only a simple flag after all. Well, the staff didn’t say anything about this, but she knew for sure that since the flag represents a base...
Didn’t this mean they could set a trap, barrier or something around their base while they move? The staff didn’t mention this but the others must have noticed it too
"Alright, the last rule is, anyone who goes back to the surface of the lake when the battle hasn’t end will be disqualified!" The staff finally gave Li Shi Ying and the others the last information they had guessed.
They weren’t allowed to swim back to the surface of the lake! This means they couldn’t take a breath and had to stay underwater for a long time. It was as expected!
"No wonder the pill is really important." Zhan Jiouli shook his head and muttered to himself, knowing that those teams who couldn’t make a pill with a longer effect would slowly lose the battle.
Unless the team could finish their battle as fast as they could...they would lose.
"Now that’s the rules. All of you, please follow your guide to your starting point. We will start after the other staff give a signal to start." The staff who was explaining about the second round of the tournament smiled before clapping his hands.
A few seconds later, a few other staff appeared around the participants, ready to guide them. The staff’s purpose was to separate one team from the other teams, so they wouldn’t meet so quickly.
Every team would start on a different side of the lake, and since the lake was big, it would take time to even find the other team. This way, the tournament already eliminated teams that couldn’t stay underwater for a certain time.
"Your starting point is here." The staff stopped walking after bringing Li Shi Ying’s team to the corner of the lake. Their starting point turned out to be near a big, golden tree standing still, looking like a big tree statue.
"Yes, thank you." Zhan Jiouli nodded his head as he observed the place around him. This place was quiet and eerie, not to mention that there was a weird tree made of gold. The tree was quite tall, around 5 meters tall, yet all of it was made from gold.
Not only Zhan Jiouli noticed this, but even Li Shi Ying noticed this. "That tree is made of gold?" Li Shi Ying noticed the big tree shining in the dark of night, and couldn’t help but squint her eyes. Who would make a tree from gold in this kind of place?
"Maybe it’s a landmark of this place, so tourists can remember something unique about this lake." Long Ao Zhen quickly tried to make everything seem okay since Li Shi Ying’s words had lead them back to the legend.
They couldn’t make the others be worried before the tournament started, right?
"Mn I see." Li Shi Ying nodded her head, but deep in her heart, that golden tree somehow disturbed her. Just when Li Shi Ying was about to observe her surroundings again, they heard the loud noise of an explosion.
BOOM!
Following after was a firework being released into the sky, marking the start of the second round of the tournament in the silent and dark night.
"The signal! Everyone quickly activate your talismans!" Li Shi Ying took out her talismans, and began to activate it one by one, ready to dive into the water.
Seeing the signal, Zhan Jiouli and the others also activated their talismans while Long Ao Zhen and Jiao Cong Ming didn’t do anything other than prepare to dive in first.
They could breathe underwater without tools, so as per their agreement before, they would be the ’scout’ team.
SPLASH!
The water splattered everywhere when Long Ao Zhen and Jiao Cong Ming jumped into the lake while still wearing their full clothes. They were both good swimmers, so even though they were wearing clothes, they could still swim fast.
"Here, a ’speed’ talisman I made before." Li Shi Ying gave the others who haven’t dove in yet, a ’speed’ talisman for each person. This talisman couldn’t make them breathe underwater, but it could help them to swim faster.
The effect was only for 30 minutes so they better use this to the fullest.
"Alright, are you all ready? Let’s go!" Li Shi Ying took a deep breath before jumping into the lake after receiving information from Jiu Wei, who relayed Long Ao Zhen’s message saying that it was safe to go down there.
SPLASH!
The moment Li Shi Ying dove into the lake, she couldn’t help but shiver. The lake water was so cold! If before she was swimming in a blood lake and it was warm...now she was swimming in a real lake. It was so cold!
The cold felt like countless needles stabbing her bones. With the temperature like this, they were forced to finish their battle as soon as they could!
