Act IX. Crossing the gravel belt Part two

Bai Ge took out the manual for the first stage of the race, which marked some of the basic road conditions of this stage, according to the instructions, the gravel belt used to be an island in the middle of the sea in the old days, after the ocean dried up, these islands became towering peaks, and then, under the impact of years of weathering and several natural disasters, the archipelago no longer existed, leaving only countless gravel and potholed roads.

It was supposed to be like this.

But......

"What's going on?"

Bai Ge saw ahead, on the road that should have been covered with gravel, the air was flowing.

This is not a metaphor, but a real visible air current, which is spreading in the field of vision.

It is due to the refraction of air caused by the high temperature on the earth's surface, and it is also called "yangyan" in the old texts.

When such a scene appears, it means that the ground temperature is already extremely high.

Bang –

Almost at the same time, Bai Ge also felt the scorching heat from ahead, which was like the middle of the midday desert, exuding a high heat that made his mouth dry.

Although it is June, it is logically impossible to have such a high temperature.

In the blink of an eye, the scorching currents disappeared again, and everything seemed normal.

It's just that Bai Ge saw that after a car in front of him entered the gravel belt, it was suddenly shrouded in airflow, and the whole car trembled slightly, and then lost control and fell to the side without movement.

"It smells similar to the previous Sea of Sand."

The bamboo frost lowered the nose and moved slightly, as if it smelled something strange.

[In doing it]: The gravel belt has mutated due to the influence of this abyssal relic, and is characterized by random jets of high-heat air currents from the ground, and the temperature of these air currents is more than 100 degrees, which is enough to cause vehicles to malfunction and cause humans to be burned, but the appearance of these air currents has certain rules and can be avoided.

Seeing the speeches in the group, Bai Ge swept ahead with [Assassin Vision], and he could see that under the originally calm ground, crimson energy was flowing, and it would find weak spots on the surface from time to time and gush out, and after releasing it, it would brew for a while, looking for other breakthroughs.

This 20-kilometre-long belt of rubble is now a realistic version of the abyss.

No, this is the projection of the abyss in reality.

"Abyssal ......"

The bamboo frost fell quickly to have a judgment.

In the textbooks of the Abyssal Relic Affairs Division, abyssalization is an irreversible phenomenon, which refers to the transformation of the real world into an abyss, and the abyssalized area will first appear some abnormal phenomena that may occur in reality, such as long-term thunderstorms, sudden changes in temperature, changes in landforms, etc., and then, the underlying rules of the world will be changed, and the entire area will be completely transformed, constituting an abnormal field that will not appear at all in reality.

The International Astronomical Union defines some of the common characteristics of the abyss as [affixes] according to the shape and transformation of the abyss, and different affixes represent the transformation direction of different abysses, and the combination of affixes is the simplest and most direct way to describe the abyss.

For example, the word "scorching" refers to an abyss with an average temperature of more than 100 degrees Celsius, while "extreme cold" refers to an abyss with an average temperature of less than 40 degrees Celsius.

For example, [Iron Rain] is a special modifier in which raindrops made of steel will randomly fall from the sky in the abyss, the duration and range are unknown, and will cause extremely destructive blows to the surface of the abyss.

For example, in the abyss of the [abundance] affix, the number of related abyssal plants and monsters will far exceed that of other abysses, and it is easy to have undirected mutations, and even the upgrader will be affected if he is in it for a long time, which is extremely dangerous.

Today's gravel zone area is characterized by the early abyssalization.

Abyssalization is usually accompanied by the expansion of the Abyss, of course, the full activation of the very powerful Abyssal Relic also has a chance to create an Abyss Area, or in other words, the expansion of the Abyss is likely to be the result of the activation of the Abyssal Relic attached to the historical fragments in it.

Just like the ascenders, the fragments of history will also attract each other!

"However, the big guy said that the abyssalization process here has slowed down, and it seems that as long as that abyssal relic is far away from this area, it will no longer promote the abyssalization here, but it seems a little difficult to change back to its original appearance."

Bai Ge glanced at some simple conclusions sent by the big guy on the mobile phone screen, the other party should have only briefly confirmed it when the abyss relic was activated, and did not have time to conduct an in-depth investigation.

"If you want to find that designer as quickly as possible, you have to be ahead of anyone else, and it looks like you're going to have to compete well whether you want to or not."

Bai Ge put away his phone, he opened the window, and said to Wilbur, who was driving the strangely shaped Flyer One.

"Wilbur, you move behind us, the front may be dangerous."

On the other side, Wilbur was stunned for a moment, and then he also saw the contestants who were blown away by the scorching air current.

"Is it so dangerous???

Isn't this yet out of the Pan-Western Sea?

What's that squirting around?

Artificial fountains?

Wilbur almost didn't hold the steering wheel properly, but when he saw Bai Ge climb out of the car and step directly on the roof of the car, he also suppressed his nervousness and followed closely behind Bai Ge.

Bang –

Another jet, and a clown on a unicycle in front of him was almost swept away by the current, but he trembled and regained his balance and continued to ride.

Further ahead, Bai Ge saw several vehicles that had lost power due to the air current, and those contestants could only send a distress signal through the game, waiting for the help of the rear staff, and lost the opportunity to continue the race.

At a cursory glance, it is possible that more than 10% of the contestants will be eliminated in this gravel belt alone, and this is only the initial abyssal situation.

Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision] swept through and soon found a hole in the gravel belt.

Through these loopholes in energy distribution, Bai Ge quickly mapped out a route.

The vehicle entered the gravel belt, and a bump hit, but it did not affect Bai Ge on the roof.

He soon saw a black-and-white car of Panda Logistics, and the driver's delivery boy was scrambling to avoid the turbulence gushing out from time to time on the ground, and the trajectory of the drive was twisted and disordered.

If you look from above, you can see that the progress of Thomas Clemen and others in the first position has been seriously hampered, and although these skilled drivers can avoid the sudden scorching jets through their intuition and superb driving skills, this will inevitably affect the speed of the car, resulting in the fact that even if the car behind it has been ahead for more than half an hour, it can only slow down at the moment.

But in the midst of the ant-like crawling vehicle, one car suddenly burst into the air.

It's Alexander Paplovich!

He walked on the gravel and gushing thermals, moving straight ahead without slowing down.

Baplovich, who was originally ranked more than 500 people, caught up little by little.

"Abyssalization, it's getting more and more interesting, what is Atlas hiding?"

Paplovich drove the car with ease, and if you look closer, you will see that the surface of his car seems to be covered with a layer of dirt, which is the mimicry ability of the chameleon, and he mimics himself and the car as part of the road, thus avoiding the interference of the bumpy gravel road.

At the same time, the [Man in the Suit] kept the car out of the air for most of the time, and even if there was a scorching blast of air gushing out from the bottom, it would be isolated from Baplovich's vehicle.

In other words, the harsher the external environment, the greater his advantage!

"Just like that, get the first points, well, according to the game's prompts, are there also three treasures in this gravel belt, no, or don't care, the treasures in the first stage are probably those metal flakes, well, even this area is ...... Atlas wants to track down a lost relic of the Abyss? ”

Baplovich briefly analyzed, and he quickly overtook several vehicles disturbed by the thermal currents and came to the second echelon.

In just ten minutes, he has completed more than five hundred counterattacks!

Just as he looked at the taillights of the vehicle in front of him and was about to rush forward, Paplovich saw the familiar vehicle in the rearview mirror.

It was a strange-looking, winged car, and a man standing on the roof of a car in front of it.

It's the one who fought with him just now and took away the treasure!

"Did he catch up too......"

Paplovich looked at the other man as if he had an insight into the pattern of these scorching air currents, and he sped on the gravel belt without slowing down, frowning slightly.

is also an upgrader, there must be many ways to avoid this abyssal terrain, but if he continues like this, he may be forced to race with him, and Baplovich, who lacks treasure points, is in a congenital weakness, and the revenge of being robbed of the treasure is even secondary.

At this point, the gravel belt is more than halfway over, and once he leaves, Baplovich's advantage will be reduced, and he will have to reach first place and hold on to it before the competition for the gravel belt is over.

Thinking of this, Baplovich made a decision, he turned the steering wheel and blocked in front of Bai Ge's car.

Then, Baplovich spread out the field.

【Cherry Orchard of Vanity】!

The road under the rear wheels of his vehicle began to decay, and the already uneven ground suddenly burst out with countless splashes of rubble, and the road collapsed!

This will not only affect Bai Ge, but will also make it more difficult for later cars to maintain speed, and Baplovich wants to completely cut off the opportunity for latecomers to overtake.

Bai Ge noticed this for the first time, and now there is no overseer, and even if there is, it is difficult for Paplovich's behavior to be immediately judged as attacking others, so Bai Ge can only deal with it head-on.

"Frostfall, you just step on the gas pedal later, don't worry about anything else."

Bai Ge leaned over and said, and then disappeared from the roof of the car.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in mid-air, in the middle of the flying rubble.

Bai Ge grabbed a piece of gravel in front of him and threw it at another stone.

The two stones collided, changing their trajectory and hitting the other stones.

Suddenly, the flow changed.

It's like throwing a stone into the rippling waters of a lake, and in most cases, the water of the lake won't change in any way because of the stone's input.

But there are also very subtle cases, very rare cases, where this stone will bring about a butterfly effect, relying on all kinds of coincidences to calm the level of the turbulent lake.

Bai Ge created such a situation.

In a situation that is absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, Bai Ge found the "loophole", found the subtle connection between these flying stones, and then, using the [White Rainbow Sun], hit this loophole.

As a result, the system of countless pieces of rubble collapsed, and they fell to the ground, filling the road in a "just" way, which in turn made the vehicles of the bamboo frost fall faster.

The next moment, Zhu Shuang and Bai Ge's car came to Pavlovich's side.

Both are in the third echelon, with the exception of Thomas Clemen in front of them, which are the three cars of the Helmheim team.

At this point, it is less than five minutes away from the final checkpoint of the gravel belt.

β€œ...... Annoying. ”

Baplovich glanced to the side, gritted his teeth, and increased the speed to the top speed.

At the same time, he leaned his right hand off the steering wheel and flicked his fingers.

Bang –

Bai Ge only felt that under the car, the energy under the surface suddenly surged, and the next moment, the whole car was lifted up!

This scorching air current, which should not have been here, is clearly the handiwork of Paplovich.

He used the ability of the chameleon to make the car of the bamboo frost fall mimic.

Mimicry becomes the weakest surface, where energy seems to be most likely to pour out.

Therefore, even without conditions, the air flow of up to 100 degrees quickly gushed out, overturning the car of Zhushuang.

"Mr. Heinlein!!"

All Wilbur could see was the car in front of him suddenly flying into the sky, tumbling and falling to the ground, and he screamed, fearing that the two would be injured.

Bai Ge kept his composure, and his left hand quickly smashed down on the car, and this blow to the "loophole" caused the roof of the car to be directly lifted.

However, he saw that Zhu Shuangluo had already left the driving position and jumped out like a vigorous cheetah.

Bang –

Another scorching jet of air seemed to envelop the immobile vehicle in mid-air.

Zhu Shuangjiang glanced at Bai Ge, and after confirming his location, he quickly returned to Wilbur's Flyer One as if he was stepping on air.

Bai Ge's figure flashed, and he also came to the same place.

Bang –

At this time, the car finally hit the ground, and with a loud crashing sound, the front of the off-road vehicle twisted and completely scrapped.

"Ah, my change of clothes."

Bamboo Frost let out a small exclamation, and then noticed Bai Ge beside him, don't turn his face.

At the same time, Baplovich overtook the three cars of the Helmheim team and almost simultaneously broke out of the gravel belt with Thomas Clemen.

The first stage of the race has come to an end, and next, in addition to the terrain similar to the original wasteland, is the last, more than fifty kilometers of straight sprints, and four buried treasures.

The afternoon sun is slanting, the sun is about to set, and the golden sunset casts a long shadow.

The first marathon champion is about to appear!
