Chapter 219 The Treasure Hunt Begins
"Buzz~~~"
A slight but continuous tremor sounded, as if the entire space was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, Hua Yu's figure gradually dissipated into the void, eventually merging completely into the mysterious and unpredictable spatial patterns.
As a spatial mage, Hua Yu was well aware of the turbulence during spatial teleportation and naturally had ways to minimize his suffering.
At this moment, the deafening cheers from the audience that had been rising and falling in my ears had gradually faded away until they disappeared completely.
Instead, there were clear, melodious yet slightly eerie chirps.
"Eee-ee~~~"
These are the live monitoring devices specially arranged by the organizers for this competition – the Pupil Eagle.
Hua Yu slowly opened her eyes and began to carefully examine her surroundings.
The first thing that catches the eye is a dark and gloomy sky, like a huge gray curtain covering the earth.
Beneath your feet lies a vast, rugged land strewn with jagged rocks, with towering, precipitous peaks rising abruptly, creating a strong sense of oppression.
What's even more surprising is that there is a rushing river in front of us, but the water is flowing in the opposite direction, as if defying the laws of nature.
There are mountains and water here, yet all the scenery seems so bizarre and strange, as if it were an absurd painting forcibly pieced together from various unrelated elements.
"Sound String. Probe!" Hua Yu said in a low voice.
In an instant, an invisible sonic force spread out and rapidly expanded in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, all the commotion within a three-kilometer radius reached Hua Yu's ears without reservation.
The cheerful chirping of birds, the fierce roars of wild beasts, the deep breathing of demons, and even the faint whispers deep in the forest could not escape his keen perception.
"Let's start with you guys."
Hua Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, then his body flashed with silver light, and the next second he disappeared from the lock of the pupil eagles above.
One hundred and sixty people entered, and after Hua Yu was the first to enter, the other players followed one after another into this private space.
Everyone's initial position is shuffled and they are randomly assigned to the game.
However, the organizers ensured that the area around the players' initial positions was safe.
If a player is attacked as soon as they enter the game, it could lead to unnecessary trouble, regardless of which country's contestant is eliminated.
An island nation athlete had just landed when he encountered an Italian team member who happened to be wandering around and had come to the area.
The two merely exchanged glances and showed no intention of making a move.
After all, this is just the beginning. Neither side has anything yet. Even if they defeat the other, they will not gain any benefit and will only waste their combat power, affecting the subsequent treasure hunt.
Even the weakest player who makes it this far will have some strengths or hidden advantages.
Without a conflict of interest, no one wants to fight with others.
There's still plenty of time, we should take our time and enjoy it!
Unfortunately, some people don't think that way.
"Buzz~~~"
A trembling sound rang out.
The two contestants quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, upright young man with long silver hair slowly walking towards them.
They all recognized him; he was the captain of the Chinese team who had shown great skill in the knockout stage.
When the Japanese players caught a glimpse of the Chinese team, they couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
His eyes darted around, and a seemingly sincere but actually cunning smile appeared on his face. He then said to Hua Yu in a serious tone, "You're Hua Yu from the Chinese team? You probably can't find your teammates right now, so how about we team up?"
Upon hearing this, the Italian athlete standing nearby lit up and quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, let's work together! That way, we can all help each other out."
Both of them wanted to recruit the powerful Hua Yu as their teammate. Faced with such an absurd proposal, Hua Yu merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint, slightly mocking smile.
Cooperation?
Do you deserve it?
His deep, pool-like eyes stared silently at the two people before him, and then he spoke in a calm yet disdainful tone, "I don't need trash like you as my teammates."
The moment the words left his mouth, the two men's faces turned extremely grim, their expressions filled with rage as they glared at Hua Yu. "What did you just say? Try repeating it again if you dare!"
Clearly, they had no idea that Huayu would reject and humiliate them so ruthlessly.
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense!
Hua Yu's eyes narrowed, and a powerful spatial pressure directly enveloped the Japanese player who had spoken.
"Kneel down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese athlete's knees buckled, and he suddenly knelt down in front of Hua Yu, right in front of the eagles in the sky.
Tongying can achieve a live broadcast effect, allowing outside viewers to see the contestants' performance in this independent space.
The moment the Japanese player knelt down before the three even started fighting, the entire arena fell silent!
After everyone came to their senses, a murmur of discussion arose from the audience.
"It's not even Chinese New Year yet!"
"I suspect that Hua Yu used his spatial abilities. I have to say, his spatial abilities are truly powerful."
"So, which do you think is stronger, Hua Yu's spatial manipulation technique or Ai Jiangtu's?"
"It should be Ai Jiangtu, after all, Hua Yu's major is summoning."
That makes sense.
Meanwhile, the instructors on the Chinese side frowned as they saw Hua Yu make his move.
"Hua Yu, that kid, made a move so early. It was completely unnecessary."
"Let's see. Hua Yu should have his own plans," Feng Li said helplessly.
There's nothing I can do!
Even if they wanted to stop Hua Yu now, there was no way for them to intervene; what could they do but watch?
Pang Lai, who was standing to the side, did not participate in the conversation. He was not worried about his apprentice, but rather about the contestants from other countries.
"Hopefully, this kid won't go too far."
-
The outside noise did not affect Hua Yu and his team's actions in the slightest.
"Are you going to crush the space and roll yourselves out yourselves, or will I beat you until you're eliminated?"
Hua Yu's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile on his face, but to the two people opposite him, this smile was like a demon from the deepest abyss revealing its ferocity to them.
Seemingly friendly, it is actually full of threats and provocations, making people tremble with fear.
"Don't underestimate us."
The Italian player was naturally eliminated, and he unleashed a fierce punch at Hua Yu.
"Spatial rhythm. Time lag!"
The enormous fist of fire remained suspended in mid-air.
"Why!"
Hua Yu sighed deeply, and then his figure vanished instantly.
"boom!"
