502: Chapter 229: The Realm of the Sky, The Beginning of Death_2 502: Chapter 229: The Realm of the Sky, The Beginning of Death_2 “Isn’t this too dangerous?”
Hua Yue Yu was very nervous because getting the feathers required using so cubes as footholds to jump and move.
The distances between them were varied, so long, so short, and unevenly distributed in height, much like those ga shows on TV where contestants navigate obstacle courses.
But if you failed on those shows, at worst you wouldn’t get the prize money, whereas failure here ant death since there was nothing underneath those cubes.
If soone missed their step, they’d fall straight down.
“I’ll go up and try first!”
Xia Hongyao rolled up one of her sleeves.
“Wait, do you know which cubes you can step on and which ones you can’t?”
“Do you know if there’s a ti limit once you step on a cube?”
“If there is a ti limit, then you must plan at least three routes before you start!”
“Also, will the cubes in front of you suddenly move or fall when you jump?”
“Finally, will monsters attack you when you get the feathers?”
…
Gu Qingqiu listed a string of concerns in one breath, completely baffling Xia Hongyao.
She had never considered these points, yet they all sounded so logical.
“Little Linzi, what do we do?”
Xia Hongyao, when faced with rule pollution in the past, had always acted first and thought later.
“You and Qingqiu are not the sa type of God Hunters; overthinking will make you indecisive and you’ll lose your edge!”
Lin Baici took out the Giant Locust Leg and handed it to Xia Hongyao: “Go ahead!”
“Rember, don’t step on the sa cube twice, don’t stay on a cube for more than ten seconds, and choose a different path when you co back!” Lin Baici reminded.
“Okay!”
Upon hearing this from Lin Baici, Xia Hongyao smiled happily and quickly ran towards the edge of the building.
Qingqiu, who understands your complicated talk?
Linzi’s plan is clear and straightforward.
“Make way!”
Lin Baici hurriedly followed suit.
As he ran, Hua Yue Yu and Gu Qingqiu promptly followed him.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting her killed?”
Gu Qingqiu cast a glance at Lin Baici.
She enjoyed playing these life-gambling taboo gas, but that didn’t an she was a lunatic who wasn’t afraid of death.
“Soone has to go!”
The response from Lin Baici rendered Gu Qingqiu silent.
Given the temperants of Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, they would never force anyone to be used as expendable scouts.
If they waited for others to volunteer, they might miss the most precious ‘golden ga ti’.
“Don’t worry, I’ve observed it.
With our physical conditions, we can handle this small scene!”
Lin Baici reassured Gu Qingqiu, jogged to the edge of the rooftop, and without hesitation, jumped onto a cube one ter away: “You’d better help Hongyao find so safe routes!”
“You…”
Gu Qingqiu was amazed.
Although she knew Lin Baici would not let Xia Hongyao take the risk alone, his confidence was unexpected.
He didn’t stop to observe, which clearly ant he had already scoped out the black cubes he planned to land on while running to the rooftop’s edge.
“Be careful.”
Hua Yue Yu, familiar with Lin Baici’s character, wasn’t startled by his abrupt actions, but Xia Hongyao, who had just jumped onto the third cube, was taken aback.
“Why did you co up too?”
“I can’t watch the team leader take risks alone!”
Lin Baici joked as he forcefully pressed down, confirming the cubes were not only suspended but also very stable and solid, not wobbling at all.
The only problem was that the footholds were too small, and there were no railings or barriers around, making it quite scary to stand on them even without looking down.
In any case, for those with a fear of heights, this challenge was an instant failure.
“Then why did you give the Giant Locust Leg?”
Xia Hongyao was speechless; this taboo object could enhance the user’s jumping ability.
“Stop talking, focus on getting the feathers!”
Lin Baici spoke and continued jumping.
He activated ‘Divine Grace Cat Step Light Charm,’ which made his movents graceful, steady, and agile like a wild cat.
Xia Hongyao didn’t speak again, but her heart was filled with emotion.
Little Lin,
I’d be failing our friendship if I didn’t have a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for you.
“Holy shit, what are they trying to do?”
“Are they going for the feathers?”
“This… this is so dangerous!”
The viewers were stunned.
One person stood on the edge of the rooftop, leaning halfway out to look down, and imdiately felt dizzy and terribly uneasy.
It was so high that even the ground was barely visible.
“These feathers must be the key to survival, pick them up quickly!”
Lin Baici shouted.
Everyone hesitated, not daring to move.
The distance and height difference between those cubes were mostly about one ter, which would be easy for an adult to handle on flat ground, but now they were in midair.
What if there was a mistake?
And they also doubted Lin Baici’s judgnt.
What if taking the feathers was the wrong choice?
Better to wait and see!
Lin Baici jumped onto a cube holding feathers, fully focused on guarding his surroundings as he picked up others.
Good, no monsters appeared.
Following his pre-chosen route, Lin Baici jumped back successfully.
Bang!
The mont Lin Baici landed on the rooftop, Hua Yue Yu imdiately ran over.
[I am the Son of the Wind God, I am the King of The Sky, wherever my wings sweep, that is my territory!]
[With the feathers, you can resist the gusts of hurricanes and avoid being blown off the rooftop!]
[Over ti, the cubes will drop randomly.]
[Each person needs two feathers, and no one can pick them up for others.]
[Every two minutes, a hurricane will blow!]
Eater God comnted.
“This thing is nothing special!”
Xia Hongyao examined the white feather in her hand, found no secrets, and handed it to Gu Qingqiu, “You take a look, I’ll go get another one!”
“Beauty, could you pick one up for ?”
“Handso guy, I’ll pay you, get one!”
“Can I take a look at that feather?”
Everyone started to clamor, so asked Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao to help pick up feathers, so thought they were very intelligent and wanted to take the feather to figure out the key to escaping this rules-contaminated situation.
As Xia Hongyao was about to set off, Lin Baici pulled her back.
“Run!”
“Everyone to the middle of the rooftop!”
Lin Baici, pulling Xia Hongyao and Hua Yue Yu, rushed forward.
He didn’t know when the hurricane would start blowing, but two minutes was too short.
It could happen at any mont, so it was better to take cover first.
He also didn’t know from which direction the hurricane would co, so standing in the center of the rooftop was the safest choice.
In any case, it was crucial to stay away from the edge of the rooftop.
Gu Qingqiu didn’t understand why Lin Baici did this, but after their shared experience at the Provincial Museum Divine Ruin, she trusted Lin Baici’s intelligence and quickly started running.
“What’s going on now?”
“Can’t you stop being so cryptic and just explain clearly to everyone?”
“What the hell!”
So people started running too, while others did not and complained grubbily.
Before Lin Baici could warn again, the hurricane suddenly blew.
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind filled everyone’s ears, clinging the clothes tightly to their bodies and making them flap wildly.
Those with weak bodies and light weight were directly blown about, staggering in the direction of the wind.
“Lie down quickly!”
Lin Baici yelled, letting go of Xia Hongyao, and quickly grabbed Gu Qingqiu, but the wind was so strong that his voice couldn’t carry from his mouth.
Gu Qingqiu was fragile and clearly not a strong woman.
As the hurricane blew, she was tossed about uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Lin Baici reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist, then pressed her and Hua Yue Yu down on top of him.
Chaos ensued on the rooftop in an instant.
Lin Baici turned his head and saw those who hadn’t heeded his warning and were standing on the edge of the rooftop fall into misfortune.
As the hurricane swept over like a raging torrent, they fell like wheat sheared by a scythe, and about twenty who were too close to the edge of the rooftop dropped down like dumplings.
“Ah!”
“Help!”
“Save !”
Their shrill cries of fear were carried away by the hurricane.
One second!
Two seconds!
…
Lin Baici silently counted the ti, all the while trying to keep his eyes wide open to observe if there were any changes to the cubes and feathers.
Half a minute later, the hurricane stopped.
On the rooftop edge, those lucky enough to have survived imdiately got up and ran frightened towards the middle of the rooftop.
It was too scary!
This ti, they wouldn’t go near the edge for their lives.
