CH.212 Be cautious when going to sea
Episode 212 [Be cautious when going to the sea]
Regarding the question of whether the miserable raft would rot directly after entering the water, the lovely Xiaoqing and the wandering cloud had a serious and peaceful discussion, and after the wandering cloud found some vines to tie the raft more tightly, they decided to go into the water first.
If you really want to go into the water, it will be scattered, that is also fate, and the most important thing is to hold a driftwood and kick the water to the opposite bank......
There were quite a few players who thought this way, and by the third hour of the game, the players who had passed through the air barrier had already crossed the not too wide jungle one after another, standing on the shore and looking at the inner island on the other side.
There are still relatively few competitors like Cute Xiaoqing and Wandering Cloud, who are relatively fast and ready to go on the raft, and most of the contestants only crossed the jungle to the shore between the second and third hours of the night's race, and most of them are still trying to make rafts.
The rafts made by the contestants are strange, the materials used are also varied, and the shape of the raft is even more playful.
Some contestants seized the time to make it simple, so they made the simplest, using five or six pieces of wood tied together to make a raft, and after entering the water, they had not floated out of the shallows, and the players sitting on the raft had sunk to the bottom with the raft, and the whole person showed his nose outside, and those who didn't know how to think that he was meditating in the sea and practicing ink skills.
Some of the contestants are more particular, especially the players who have already formed a team, relying on the large number of people on their team, and there are special warrior players who can use heavy swords and giant swords to cut down trees, they directly and heroically cut down more than a dozen trees side by side on the beach, and then ran to the jungle to cut some vines out, tied the logs together, and made a super large raft into the water. But at this time, the problem came again, there were many people, and there was a lot of force. The speed of making a raft must be fast, but the weight of the crowd is also large, and when a group of them all sit on the raft, the raft will slowly sink, and they can only drag the raft back to the shore to rebuild it.
Some of the unlucky contestants had just gotten out of the water and had not yet floated out of the shallows, when the raft fell apart, and the wood drifted away with the waves. It's a toss just to chase the wood back.
The player's embarrassment made the audience outside the stadium all kinds of happy, what raft went into the water and dispersed, what raft went into the water and sank directly like sitting on a slide...... Aren't these the happiest of all? Before the raft is able to go into the water. There are still many steps to make a raft! Gotta cut down trees, right? Gotta find vines, right? You have to think about bondage, right? Have you ever seen a tree that was cut down and was slapped in the face by a branch instead of being cut down? Have you ever seen someone who went to find a vine but mistook a poisonous snake for a vine and was bitten and blackened his face?
There are many other pictures like this that can make people laugh and pee, and the director even made a collection of special and thoughtful highlights, edited out some particularly embarrassing and interesting pictures, and put them directly on the video on demand in the official event area, so that the audience outside the venue laughed to the end.
Rafting across the sea is the method chosen by most contestants. However, in order to save more time, some participants went to the shore and saw that the mainland of the inner island did not seem to be too far from the coast of the outer islands, so they felt that it would not be a problem to swim directly to the opposite side with their superb swimming skills.
Besides, isn't this a game? Can you really drown people in the game? The big deal is that I drowned and fainted! I didn't know if I was lucky all of a sudden, and after drowning and fainting, I woke up. Has the waves brought him to the shores of the inner islands?
So a few angry contestants saw the inner island and plunged into the sea to swim hard, and then ...... And then there was no then.
Some of them were swept into the sea by huge waves, and some of them were suffocated to death by the seawater that directly filled their stomachs, and some of them were repeatedly struggled by dangerous creatures swimming in the sea, but they could not get rid of the fate of being dragged to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. Someone finally swam half the way, but found himself exhausted in the middle of the sea and drowned......
Anyway, relying on the fact that they are water ducks and go directly to the sea to fight for swimming skills, the contestants die one after another, just like reclamation, jumping into the sea one after another, but there are very few players who can really swim to the opposite shore.
The sea is not a swimming pool, it is always at the mercy of others. The sea is moody and ravages mortals at will, and it seems that it is only a distance of more than two thousand meters. But where is the killing power contained in it that ordinary people can imagine?
So the contestants who died in the sea learned a lesson of blood and tears in various bitter postures, so that the audience outside the stadium increased their knowledge in bursting laughter...... Some onlookers even posted on the forum and summarized the video of "100 Ways to Die in the Sea", which included the various embarrassments of the participating players dying in the sea. This kind of post is also surprisingly popular, each of which has been pushed dozens of floors high, and there are a lot of players who reply to the post, which makes those contestants who were drowned deeply feel that they are from the world, full of malice......
The badge that fell out of this way of drowning in the sea sank directly into the sea, and a group of players who made a raft and drifted to the inner island saw a water duck drowned by the sea, and the badge of the water duck exploded around his corpse, shining and eye-catching, but after the worst, those eye-catching badges all sank to the bottom of the sea, and they couldn't rush to grab it back and stuff it in their pockets.
The picture of a group of contestants busy on Doudao was recorded by a powerful video system, so that the off-site players who were not qualified to participate in the competition could only watch it addictively, and many people deeply felt that watching people participate in the competition or something was much more interesting than running to farm monsters and leveling up.
It is indeed a very interesting thing to see that those bullish "gods" and "celebrities" are being ravaged and suppressed by the rules of the system, and those "gods" and "celebrities" still have to work hard to toss around.
Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan rode the Sharp-clawed Demon Tiger to the coast of the outer islands earlier, and at that time, most of the contestants had not yet entered the water to cross the sea, and many of them did not even arrive at the coast at that time. There is a mount to travel or something, many players have never thought about it, when the mount is only about level 45 in the national level, it is still quite a rare thing, otherwise Ling Lingjiu's mount will not attract so many howls from the audience outside the arena as soon as it is summoned.
After Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan came to the coast, they chose the same way to cross the sea as most of the contestants, and decided to make their own rafts.
Rafts are just seen in movies and TV. Not to mention making your own raft, most people have never even seen a real raft with their own eyes. Therefore, among the contestants, it is already very powerful to be able to make a raft that does not fall apart and does not sink when launched. Anything else such as styling, speed, carrying capacity, etc., is basically not thought about.
When Ling Lingjiu noticed that the inner island was on the other side of the sea, Wang Ziyan was lazy on the clawed demon tiger, and the lazy phoenix eyes seemed to be open and closed, only slightly opening a thin slit, as if he was too troublesome to even open his eyes.
Ling Lingjiu jumped down from the Clawed Demon Tiger. Alone towards the shore, there was only a thin white sand beach and sparse coconut groves as far as the eye could see. Some of the drift that was carried to the beach by the sea, and none of the other contestants were seen.
Ling Lingjiu walked back to the side of the Clawed Demon Tiger, and said to Wang Ziyan, who had only opened a thin slit in his eyes, "That's probably the inner island, you have to take me over there." ”
Wang Ziyan stretched out his eyelids and looked at the other side of the sea, and after a rough estimate, he retracted his gaze and said to Ling Lingjiu, "You can't swim over." ”
"......" Ling Lingjiu felt that Wang Ziyan did it on purpose. His pale peach-colored lips immediately pursed, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not like you can only swim over." ”
"Swim faster." Wang Ziyan came to the following conclusion, when a lazy bone wants to work, the lazy bone will choose the most efficient way, in order to complete the task quickly and then continue to be lazy.
"......" Ling Lingjiu's sparkling peach blossom eyes narrowed. His lips were pursed tightly, like a cat with a fur on his back, and he was dissatisfied with Wang Ziyan: "If I can swim over, what do you have to do!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Ziyan looked at Ling Lingjiu, who was already furious, with a smile. "Then how do you want me to take you there? Let me take you on a tour? It's going to be tiring. ”
"Make a raft and take me across." In order to prevent Wang Ziyan from saying anything more and anger him, Ling Lingjiu resolutely jumped on the clawed demon tiger, and returned to the jungle towards the road they had just crossed, he remembered that there was bamboo in the place they passed by just now, and bamboo was a good material for making rafts. Much easier to use than ordinary wood.
That small piece of bamboo was not far from the coast, and it didn't take long for Ling Lingjiu to find it while riding the Sharp-Clawed Demon Tiger. He asked Wang Ziyan for a battle axe, jumped off the clawed demon tiger himself, and ran to chop bamboo.
Wang Ziyan saw that Ling Lingjiu was slashing hard there, so he leaned on the clawed demon tiger and watched with interest.
Ling Lingjiu's action showed that Lu Dao was a person who didn't usually work, because of the deviation in his axe-wielding action, he couldn't cut down a few bamboos for half a day, but was so tired that he was sweating profusely and only panting......
The person in front of him is obviously not used to this kind of work, but he doesn't ask for help, he just buries his head in hard work, and he really doesn't know what to say.
Wang Ziyan watched coldly for a long time, finally his conscience had not been completely gnawed away by the dog, after he saw that Ling Lingjiu was already too busy to breathe, and his usually Ruyu's face was so hot that he finally jumped off the demon tiger, took the axe in Ling Lingjiu's hand, and with a wave of his long arm, he chopped up the bamboo.
Seeing that Wang Ziyan took the initiative to come over to help, Ling Lingjiu was no longer busy. He knows a lazy guy like Wang Ziyan very well, even if someone dies next to him, he may not have any special reaction, but for his own family, he will always be soft-hearted and always reluctant to let go.
So you don't have to beg this lazy guy in particular, as long as you silently do something you can't do by yourself by this lazy guy, let him see that you are working hard, and he will run to replace you with hard work.
He's actually one of the few guys who can hurt people.
Wang Ziyan's work efficiency is much higher than that of Ling Lingjiu, he has a skill in swinging his axe, he uses ingenuity when cutting bamboo, plus he is a blacksmith himself, and the basic attribute points of his body have added a lot of strength, so he can do this work much more easily.
Ling Lingjiu was not idle when Wang Ziyan was chopping bamboo, he wandered around the jungle alone, looking for some vines, and after Wang Ziyan cut down the bowl of thick bamboos for a dozen or so, he and Wang Ziyan tied up all those bamboos together, and then jumped on the clawed demon tiger, and let the mount exert force to drag the chopped bamboo back to the beach.
Although vines are very good ropes in nature, they are not suitable for tying bamboo rafts, and bamboo rafts made of vines are easy to fall apart after being launched.
Ling Lingjiu rode the Clawed Demon Tiger on the beach to find other usable materials, make a bamboo raft or something, and it would be great if he could encounter a banana tree. The stem of the banana tree is a very good natural rope. The poles are all made of fibers, and the fibers are torn off by hand and twisted into several strands to make a natural rope that binds the raft.
Ling Lingjiu's luck was still good, and after walking for a while, he saw a banana tree pole floating onto the beach by the beach.
Although it was very difficult to cut down the tree or something, Ling Lingjiu could still do it by twisting the rope, he tore off the fibers of the banana tree stem, and then rubbed a few strands to form a natural rope, and at the same time asked Wang Ziyan to cut the bamboo they had just brought out into two pieces from it, so that it would be convenient to make a bamboo raft for a while.
Bamboo is a very tough material. It has air pockets between each bamboo node, and the bamboo itself also has very small air holes, which are much more buoyant than ordinary wood. A dozen bamboos are tied together, and it is not a problem to ride three or four people.
The work of building the bamboo raft was done by Wang Ziyan, and Ling Lingjiu could play a commanding role on the side, if he really let him do it, he really didn't have that ability.
Wang Ziyan has a strong hands-on ability. I don't know if he has any experience in this area, many times before Ling Lingjiu can speak, he has already thought of and done it himself, he is extremely efficient in his work, and he can't tell that he is a super lazy bone at all.
The bamboo raft that Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan made together was a double-layered one, with twelve bowl-thick bamboos tied side by side on each layer. Four bamboos are used to support the two bamboo rafts horizontally, which widens the distance between the two bamboo rafts, so that the people sitting on the upper decks can stay away from the water after entering the water. You won't get soaked in the sea as soon as you get on the raft.
"What do you have with you? Is there any cloth that you don't have? The leather is good, too. After seeing Wang Ziyan tie the two rows of bamboo rafts together steadily, Ling Lingjiu asked Wang Ziyan.
"Axes, ores, and the coconuts, papayas, bananas, and so on that you told me to pick." Wang Ziyan said, "What do you want to do with the skin?" Are you going to make sails? ”
"Isn't it faster to have sails? Do you still have to hold up a paddle? I'll be there next year. Ling Lingjiu said.
"Then take the local materials." After Wang Ziyan finished speaking, he pointed to the coconut trees in the forest and said. "Use coconut leaves, weave it, and make a simple sail."
Ling Lingjiu looked at the coconut leaves that were more than one person tall for a while, and he wasn't sure if this thing could play the role of a sail after it was made up, but it was better than nothing.
Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan said to do it, Wang Ziyan went to pick some coconut leaves, handed them to Ling Lingjiu and asked him to sit there and weave the leaves, roughly weave the leaves together into a piece, and then fix them with a few thin logs, tie them firmly, and wait for this simple coconut leaf sail to be done, Wang Ziyan used bamboo to fix it on the bamboo raft, so that their bamboo raft was ready.
This bamboo raft made by Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan together is the only one of all the rafts tonight that is more professional, conceived by Ling Lingjiu, and done by Wang Ziyan, when this bamboo raft was successfully launched, everyone knew at a glance that this thing was many times stronger than those fake and shoddy products made by other contestants.
Pushing the bamboo raft down to the sea, Wang Ziyan and Ling Lingjiu sat in the center of the bamboo raft one after the other, Ling Lingjiu sat in front to watch the road, and Wang Ziyan took the helm and supported the sails in the back, and the two of them drifted towards the other side of the sea by relying on the ocean current and the sea breeze.
After all, players like Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan who have produced high-quality rafts are a minority, and most players' bamboo rafts can be launched very well, as for falling apart in the middle of the sea or something, there are a lot of similar incidents, and the audience outside the venue doesn't feel strange when they see too much, even the cute Xiaoqing and the wandering clouds who were the first to go into the water have not been able to avoid the tragic encounter of the bamboo raft falling apart.
On the contrary, it is more rare to see Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan, they have been quietly making rafts from beginning to end, and after the raft was launched, they successfully completed their mission, swaying all the way, during which they even bumped into a shark following them, but the last one arrived safely on the coast of the inner island.
Crossing the sea, from the outer islands to the inner islands, is a test that every player who has crossed the air barrier will have to face. Whether it's a bamboo raft or a direct swim to the other side, as long as you can get to the other side smoothly, either method is a good way.
For Ling Lingjiu, making a bamboo raft was of course the most suitable way to cross the sea, but for Mo Seventeen and Cuttlefish Sister, two brothers and sisters, it was too much effort to make a bamboo raft or something by themselves.
Mo Seventeen only has a dagger in his hand, and using a dagger to cut down a tree or something, this is definitely a masochistic behavior, which normal person have you ever seen successfully cut down a tree with a dagger?
So when Mo XVII faced the rippling sea, he decisively chose to be a water duck.
Swimming in the sea and swimming in a pool are two different concepts, the waves in the sea will carry people along, and if they don't follow the waves, they are likely to be swept away by the current.
Mo XVII, a little water duck, swam very smoothly all the way after going to the sea, he swam sideways in the sea, which took about 50 minutes, and before the end of the competition that night, he successfully reached the coast of the inner island, becoming one of the few contestants who successfully swam to the inner island.
At this time, the cute Xiaoqing and the wandering cloud had already floated to the coast of the inner island with the driftwood after the raft fell apart, Ling Lingjiu and Wang Ziyan also successfully landed on the island on a bamboo raft, and the prince of Weiwei and the bloody dawn approached the coast of the inner island on the inferior raft they made, but they had not yet successfully landed on the island......
As for the rest of the players, most of them went to the sea, and many drowned in the sea, and more and more participants drifted across the ocean with driftwood on their rafts.
When the cuttlefish girl came out of the jungle, it was already eleven forty that night, and it was only twenty minutes before the end of the day's game
