Bai Ge was unhurried and stretched out his hand towards the box.

The reason why he was able to quickly cross the soft sand and get to the middle of the basin was because he took advantage of the "loophole".

To put it simply, these porous gravel will collapse after a certain amount of weight, which is due to the imbalance of forces, like building blocks that are carefully stacked and will collapse quickly once they are subjected to external forces.

However, not all external forces will cause the gravel to collapse.

Yes, as long as you can get the perfect balance, even stepping on the gravel, it will not cause these soft sand to collapse, which is a very subtle operation that no one can do under normal circumstances.

However, Bai Ge's [Trojan Horse] of Reverse Reason, by capturing the loopholes of reality, makes it possible to turn it into reality as long as there is a one percent possibility.

Bai Ge is running wildly on the sand, and he doesn't need to worry about falling into it because of his weight.

At the same time, Bai Ge also drilled into the blind spot of Baplovich's vision and consciousness, and used the "loophole" to magnify this blind spot, resulting in Ming Mingge standing there, but Paplovich never noticed Bai Ge's existence, like a big wooden horse that invaded Troy City, obviously close at hand, but never aware of it.

Similarly, Bai Ge also used the "loophole" to deceive Baplovich's senses, making him think that he had come to the side of the chest when he was still a certain distance from the treasure chest.

As long as you are human, you will make mistakes, and the moment you make a mistake is Bai Ge's domain.

Baplovich found that the box was moving away from him, and Bai Ge had already got it, he frowned slightly, and his figure immediately blurred.

Chameleon allows Baplovich to blend into a dusty basin, where he is able to minimize environmental influences.

Although he didn't know how the opponent bypassed his own field and affected him, Baplovich knew that if he wanted to get his hands on the box, now was the last chance.

In an instant, the space in front of Baplovich curled up, the world behind him was stretched, and without any other movements, Baplovich moved a long distance towards the box!

In his own realm, he used the ability of [Man in the Suit] to incorporate the space in front of him into the suit!

Bai Ge was about to put away the box, only to see that Baplovich, with dark blonde hair and emerald green eyes, had already come to him.

The decaying aura infects the chest in the White Singer and quickly decays, revealing its contents.

It was a sheet of metal.

The flake had a cold steel sheen, and the whole was diamond-shaped, with some kind of special curvature, smooth like a mirror on one side, slightly rough on the other, about the size of an adult's palm, and the edge was as sharp as a knife blade.

The first time the two ascenders saw this flake, they recognized it.

It's a transcendent item.

Like Raflanzer's Book of Monsters, this is an extraordinary item affected by an Abyssal Relic, with some special properties, but no animate power.

Bai Ge was thoughtful, and he saw that with a wave of Baplovich's right hand, the metal sheet in his field of vision disappeared, as if hidden in the air.

[Chameleon] hides the existence of metal flakes!

This ability can be used not only on oneself, but also on other objects!

At the same time, Bai Ge felt that the air had become thinner, and he had difficulty breathing, as if he had come to a vacuum.

Baplovich used the power of the [Man in the Suit] to cut off Bai Ge's contact with the air!

Although he didn't plan to kill Bai Ge on the other side, it was still important to lose the ability to continue entanglement to a certain extent, so Baplovich used the [Man in the Suit] to suffocate Bai Ge for a short time, while incorporating the space between himself and the metal sheet into the suit.

Moreover, in order to prevent Bai Ge from using strange abilities to disturb himself, Paplovich also expanded his own domain to spread the power of decay and decay around.

It can be seen that the gravel and rubble are weathered, and everything is reduced to dust, like the end of the old era, which is sentimental and melancholy.

The next moment, Baplovich took advantage of the time that Bai Ge didn't notice, the space behind him curled, and he once again used the ability of the [Man in the Suit] to move beyond the bottom of the basin, and then, the [Chameleon] hid himself and left outside the basin.

After only a few seconds of this successive operation, Baplovich turned around and saw that Bai Ge was submerged in the dust, he did not sigh, but continued to move forward step by step.

After about three minutes, Baplovich finally returned to the solid ground, and he looked into the middle of the dusty basin, but he did not find Bai Ge.

"Huh?"

Baplovich didn't bother, he quickly got into the car and continued towards the finish of the first stage, hoping only that this episode would not affect the rest of the race.

...

...

"Mr. Heinlein, are you alright?"

Looking at Bai Ge, who suddenly appeared at the edge of the basin and was spotless, Wilbur hurriedly leaned over and looked Bai Ge up and down.

The battle was too bizarre for Wilbur, and he didn't understand what was going on between the two of them, why the blonde Arctic had suddenly moved to the middle of the basin, and why he had left so suddenly, Wilbur looked confused.

"That was a fourth-order ascender just now."

Bamboo Frost was different from Wilbur, she could see that in the battle just now, there were traces of the domain, and Bai Ge was able to fight with the opponent without expanding the domain and retreated, which meant that Bai Ge was at least a fourth-order upgrader.

It seems that he is one step behind.

"yes, it took a little while."

Bai Ge watched Paplovich walk away, and didn't seem to have any intention of chasing.

"Let's hurry up and go, well, Wilbur, I'll take her car, you take care of yourself."

"Huh? Oh......"

Wilbur didn't dare to ask more, so he could only get into the car and start the engine.

Seeing this, the other contestants also dispersed one after another and did not stay any longer.

Bai Ge sat in the co-pilot of the bamboo frost fall, saw the girl next to him wearing a seat belt a little nervously, and said with a smile.

"Should I drive?"

"No, it's not, I'm just not used to being watched driving......"

Bamboo Frost muttered and started the car.

"What's in that box, though?"

Zhu Shuang asked as if to divert his attention.

"I don't know ......"

Bai Ge said, touched it from his arms, and quickly took out a thin slice with a metallic texture.

"Ah, Bai Ge, you ......"

Zhu Shuang glanced at it, and was suddenly a little surprised, almost twisting the wrong steering wheel.

She could also tell that this was an extraordinary item, and combined with her previous experience, there was no doubt that this was the item in the treasure chest.

"I just pretended to be controlled by that guy and actually escaped by exploiting the loophole, and as for this thing, it wasn't difficult to steal it from him."

Bai Ge had not been too affected by Paplovich's abilities before, and when the opponent's domain had been quietly eroded by Bai Ge's [Trojan Horse], many domain-based abilities were tampered with and misled by Bai Ge.

He was neither suffocated nor scrambled to stop Paplovich.

Even, the reason why this ascended person from the extreme north was able to leave smoothly was because Bai Ge didn't want to clash head-on with him.

"After all, I'm a thief."

Bai Ge smiled rather proudly, and then carefully checked the condition of the metal sheet with [Assassin's Vision].

First of all, he could see that the smooth side of this sheet was very strong, even if he used [Picture Poor Dagger], it was difficult to cause scratches on it, and the weaknesses and flaws were almost undetectable, Bai Ge preliminarily judged that the strength of this metal sheet should be higher than any material or item known to mankind.

As for the rough side, it was more like the stratum corneum of some kind of creature than metal, and since there was no chemical analysis instrument, Bai Ge didn't know what the ingredients of this thing were.

From the point of view of quality, the material of this metal sheet is extremely light, and it is like a piece of paper in the hand, and it can still have such a high strength in this situation, Bai Ge even thought of those alien civilization creations in the movies of the old era.

"What is this?"

Zhu Shuang asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know, but I know what makes it extraordinary."

Bai Ge flicked the metal piece as thin as a cicada's wings.

"The very existence of this thing is extraordinary, this is a material that human beings cannot currently make with any technology, only the power of the abyss can make it like this......"

He was a little curious, where did Atlas get this thing, what was the connection between this thing and the sea of sand that was not made by humans, and what was the purpose of this [marathon]?

After thinking about it, Bai Ge decided not to get entangled.

He directly took a photo and posted it to the chat group of [Panda Parliament].

[Goo Goo Goo]: Guys, do you recognize this thing?

By the way, Bai Ge posted his test of metal flakes in the group.

It took about five minutes for the group to reply.

[Lao Tzu's first cutie in the world]: Wait, the hand holding the steering wheel on the left hand side of your photo is a girl's hand, right?

[Coo-goo]: ?

Bai Ge flipped it up and looked at the photo.

Indeed, when he was shooting, he accidentally slapped the hand of the bamboo frost into it.

[Goo-goo]: This is my companion.

[Lao Tzu is the most cute in the world]: Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I have a new girl, which is very powerful.

[Coo-goo]: Don't make fun of me, boss, I'm still pointing to you to help me pass other copies.

"What is this?"

Zhu Shuang glanced at Bai Ge's mobile phone screen, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Hey, Bai Ge, how can you chat online here?"

In this wilderness, all communication should be unusable except for the network set up by the Atlas Consortium to connect to the game.

Bamboo Frost clearly saw Bai Ge chatting with people.

Speaking of which, Li Siye seems to have mentioned something similar before, and told Zhu Shuang to not worry about the contact problem in the wasteland, is this it?

"This ...... This is a special program, a legacy left by my mother, who was able to get in touch with some people, including Shi Wutong. ”

Bai Ge explained briefly, and saw that someone in the group was speaking.

No one knows faith better than I do: I should have seen this thing, and there is a similar creation in the treasure trove of the Church.

[Goo Gu Goo]: Tell me more about it?

Bai Ge suddenly felt a lot more energetic.

[No one knows faith better than I do]: You have probably heard of the owner of this thing, the scourge [Steel Feather], the elusive dragon on the continent, this thing is the scales, or feathers, that fall when it appears.

Seeing the big guy's explanation, Bai Ge couldn't help but glance at the metal piece again.

The scales of [Steel Feather]?

The legendary dragon that destroys all flying machines, the monster that has put an end to the power of the human sky?

Why are its scales here, and are used as items in chests by Atlas, and even have to be collected by participants in the [Marathon]?

No, wait, these chests were clearly placed by Atlas, and they didn't want to collect scales, but to make them accessible?

Linked to what Bai Ge had experienced before, he quickly thought about whether it was a certain ascender's name raiding ceremony, or a plan to lure out [Steel Feather] in an attempt to get a fragment of its history.

However, if you think about it carefully, the conditions for the appearance of [Steel Feather] are already very clear, that is, the appearance of flying machines, but this [Marathon] is obviously only a car, even if it is Wilbur's car in front of it, which looks like an airplane, it is impossible to fly into the sky.

Due to the existence of [Steel Feather], the manufacturing technology related to aircraft has long been mothballed, and ordinary people cannot understand the principle at all, let alone create an aircraft that can soar in the sky.

Therefore, the contestants present should not be able to create a situation that can make [Steel Feather] appear.

[Lao Tzu is the most cute in the world]: Speaking of Atlas, why don't you ask him @ in what you are doing

[Goo-goo]: Huh? Does this bigwig know anything about Atlas?

[Lao Tzu's world's first cute]: That's for sure, after all, he is the chief designer of "Ark: Upgrade Designation".

？

A question mark appeared on Bai Ge's head.

The chief designer of "ARK: Upgrade Designation"?

He has been playing games for so long, and he has never heard of such a character in the Atlas consortium, and the game company's external promotion has always been a team rather than an individual, and due to the highly unified art style, players have no way of knowing the specific members of the game team.

As for game designers and whatever, I've never heard of it.

[Do Not Disturb in the Abyss]: Speaking of which, it seems that he hasn't appeared for a long time.

[Koluwa is the best in the world]: It can't be dead, right?

[No one knows faith better than me]: Don't crow's mouth.

[Lao Tzu's first cuteness in the world]: The games are still being updated, he can't have an accident, right?

While everyone was gossiping, the chief designer of the game, who was the protagonist of the discussion, suddenly spoke.

[Doing it, doing it]: I'm not dead, I'm alive and well.

[Doing it, doing it]: By the way, the [marathon] that Atlas is holding now may be just to find me.
