Chapter 393: Blue Sacred Abyss: Island on the Edge of the Edge
For a while, the players wondered if they had fallen into an evil spirit.
Because they didn't know how long they had been swimming in the direction of the palace, the physical exertion during this time made them feel like they had participated in a marathon in the water, but every time they looked up at the palace with the hope that the distance between themselves and the palace had been shortened, they realized that the palace seemed to be still in that position, as if the palace itself was moving in a certain direction like them, and no matter how much they tried to chase the palace, the distance between the palace and them had not changed.
The team members stopped and discussed this matter through the team channel, but Gong Piqing rarely talked to them, on the one hand, because he was too far behind, and on the other hand, he was so tired that he couldn't keep up, so naturally he didn't have the energy to discuss these things with the team members in the team channel.
He was puzzled, although he hadn't experienced too many underwater battles before, it wasn't like none of them, just like when he was dealing with the ice dragon in the sea on the edge of the ice sea, when he was hit by the ice dragon in the air and fell into the ice sea, he was about to be suffocated by lack of oxygen, and he also escaped with a temporary mutation, and the mutation in that case was not his active mutation, but an "adaptive mutation" carried out by his body when it detected his danger.
In addition, even if he was not in the water, if he had been running or walking at high speed for a long time on land, his body would have a certain mutation to make it easier for him to adapt to this kind of movement; Only this time, he was so tired that he almost vomited out what he had eaten before leaving, and his body still did not produce any mutations.
If it had been left in the past, he would have mutated his situation a long time ago, and his body would have caused him to have some fish-like mutations because of his long time in the water, such as allowing him to grow some fin-like structures that are more convenient for paddling, or directly mutating his legs into the back half of a fish, his feet into fish tails, and maybe even mutating into a fish's unique respiratory system because he choked a few mouthfuls of water during swimming; But now, his body has not undergone any mutations until now, as if his "adaptive evolution" has not worked.
In fact, he had begun to suspect this from just now, when he was swimming in the direction of the palace with the team members, the team members were all special soldiers from the Devil Training Camp of the Mill Research Institute, and they also had the blessing of the suit's auxiliary swimming function, even in this kind of water with a slight countercurrent, he could swim much faster than ordinary people, but he was different, if he didn't mutate, he himself was an ordinary person without any bonus attributes, And the swimming he learned in Xiguan Renai Psychiatric Hospital is also some "half-finished", and it is not even as fast as his self-taught dog planing.
As a result, he was quickly left far behind by the team, and when the team stopped to rest due to physical exhaustion, they realized that there was one less person in the team, and the lack was still their captain.
They began to look around in panic, and after looking for a while, they found Gong Piqing, who was almost a hundred meters away.
At that time, Gong Piqing looked like he had encountered some unexpected situation in their eyes, at the beginning, the team members found that Gong Piqing was not in the team, and they thought that Gong Piqing had produced some kind of water-based mutation and sneaked into the water, so they were also worried that they would be left behind by Gong Piqing too much, so they sprinted forward even harder, but they didn't expect Gong Piqing to be left behind so much by them.
They had been waiting in place for several minutes before Gong Piqing panted and swam over, and the team members were puzzled when they saw Gong Piqing's tired and red face, so they stepped forward to ask him why he didn't make some mutations, but Gong Piqing gasped and shook his head, as if he was so tired that he couldn't even speak, he didn't answer this question.
Gong Piqing himself couldn't explain why he couldn't mutate, but everything was as if it had been deliberately arranged, just when he was so tired that he felt that his legs were no longer obedient, suddenly one of the team members exclaimed that there was a small island over there, and the others looked over there in the direction of his hand, and sure enough, they saw a stone-like bulge on the water about seventy or eighty meters away, and the position of the stone protruding from the water was not very high, and it was on the side close to the abyss, so the team members didn't find this island just now.
However, visually, it should be just a stone protruding from underwater, if that stone is really big, the team members will not find it until now, but this is the problem they need to face next, the stone is so far away from them, and it is still on the side of the abyss, it would be good if they could find a piece of land to rest on now, but do they really want to venture over?
If they want to get there, they just need to stay where they are and do nothing, and they will be slowly carried by the current after a while, but again, if they rest from the rocks, it will be difficult to go against the current to get to where they are now.
What all the team members didn't expect was that the first thing Gong Piqing said after relieving himself was: "Let's go, go and rest, go and rest......"
After saying that, his whole body sank down, if it weren't for the team member next to him who quickly grabbed him, it is estimated that he would have to sink down and choke on a mouthful of water.
"Captain...... It's so close to the abyss, do we really want to go there? And why don't you use mutation abilities? Is something wrong? One of the team members asked hesitantly.
Gong Piqing was like a drunk man who was drunk and was held by his companions at this time, with two arms on his two teammates, one on the left and one on the right, and now he really had no strength at all, so he put all his weight on the two teammates, and when he heard the team member ask, he shook his head helplessly, "I don't know why...... It just can't mutate, it's like being sealed. ”
"That's the whole thing, I'm tired enough, I just wanted to ask if you can mutate a pair of wings to fly us straight over, it's too painful to swim like this...... the team member said with a sad face.
"Who says it's not, if it weren't for this abyss, let's soak in the water for a while, it's such a big abyss next to it, we have to keep moving, or we'll be in trouble when we get to the edge of the abyss." Another team member said.
"What's the matter, isn't it inconvenient for the captain to mutate in the water? Why don't we go to that rock and rest before we go? One of the team members said, his eyes falling on the stone over there again.
The reason why the team members can hesitate until now, the main thing is because the stone is too small, and now there are eleven people in their team, although they should be able to go up if they are squeezed, but it can be said that it is really "squeezed" to go up, it is estimated that even if they really all go up, they must be in that cautious state on the stone, otherwise a slightly larger action may touch their teammates.
"Let's go over, at least there's a stone over there and you're not afraid of being washed into the abyss." With that, Gong Piqing took his arm off the shoulders of the two teammates, and the gesture was obviously to let the water flow bring him to the rock.
"I always feel like it's too close to the abyss, Captain, did the Queen tell us to go over and rest first?" One of the team members asked hesitantly.
Gong Piqing was stunned again, he realized that this matter might really not be hidden, so he waved his hand helplessly, "Alas...... I'll tell you later, there's something...... I can't explain it now, let's find a place to stay first, I feel like my body is about to be swollen......"
Judging from their situation, if there is another vote in the team now, it is estimated that there will be more people who choose to rest in place than those who go to rest on that island or that rock, but who let Gong Piqing's order be placed here? Unless Gong Piqing made the kind of big mistake that can be seen at a glance, the team members will collectively convince Gong Piqing to let him give up his idea, but now, it is not a completely impossible way to go there to rest, after all, they themselves are very tired, even if they are repairing in place, they have to keep treading water.
They all felt that they didn't know when Gong Piqing was like a different person in terms of decision-making, and they had long been accustomed to obeying the queen's command along the way, and Gong Piqing was also unambiguous in obeying the queen, except for the last few times, Gong Piqing hesitated when giving orders, and many times even the team members didn't expect him to make such a decision, just like a different decision-maker.
But after such a while, Gong Piqing has been carried by the current seven or eight meters away, that guy looks really out of strength, the whole person is only left with his head still on the water, it can be said that it is all relying on their own buoyancy to not sink, they naturally can't let Gong Piqing go alone, so they have to settle on the stone first, listen to what Gong Piqing's words are "talk about after the past"......
