Everyone could feel that when they approached the stone, the speed of the water around them had increased significantly, and it felt as if a force had emerged from the abyss in front of them to pull them into the abyss.

There were no ropes or anything like that in their squad, and if they didn't manage to stop on the rock or slow down, they would be in a very critical situation, as it might be the only land in the entire sea where they could rest temporarily.

The stone is at most twenty or thirty centimeters above the water surface, and there are some dark green moss growing on it, Gong Piqing was the first to stop on the stone, he subconsciously wanted to climb up the stone, but he ignored that the moss on the stone was very slippery, his first landing on the island failed, but instead drew a blood mark on his chest, if it wasn't for the fact that he still had an exoskeleton on his body, it was estimated that this time would be more serious.

As they thought, as the team members landed on the island one after another, the space on the island became smaller and smaller; It's not so much a small island as a rock jutting up from under the water, and when all eleven people have landed on the island, there really isn't even room for another person on it.

At this time, they were still about a hundred meters away from the abyss, and when they were in that room, the abyss looked like a deep drainage ditch, but now, this abyss has changed from a "drainage ditch" to an abyss of the sea that is two or three hundred meters wide, and they can't talk normally like they did just now since they landed on the island, because the sound of water coming from the abyss is so loud that it can dredge out their normal conversation, even if they are all back to back, You can almost rely on communication devices to hear what the other party is saying.

But what the team members want to know most is what the situation of Gong Piqing is now.

"I'm sorry brothers, but I actually wanted to tell you earlier, but I never found the opportunity." Suddenly, Gong Piqing's voice came from the team's channel, "The queen is gone, she has been missing since we were trapped in that mine, and she has ignored me until now. ”

But none of the team members showed too much surprise at his words, because they had already guessed this from Gong Piqing's various performances, probably since then, Gong Piqing has shown a lot of abnormalities, for example, Gong Piqing always subconsciously communicated with the queen through his mouth as if talking to himself, but when they came out of the illusion of that mechanical town, he never communicated with the queen in that way.

"Did it just disappear suddenly?" After a long time, one of the team members asked.

"Well, it disappeared suddenly, I don't know if you remember, I put you in that minecart, and at last I didn't know how to start the minecart, and when I asked the Queen, she didn't speak to me, but pointed to the distribution box with an arrow; When I got to the distribution box, the arrows were gone, and the queen was gone. Gong Piqing lowered his head and whispered like a child who had made a mistake.

"Oh...... It's okay, it's not a big deal, is it? If there's anything you can't decide, you can discuss with us, there are many people, although we are not as strong as the queen in terms of combat planning, but at least we are a team, brothers say yes. A team member looked at Gong Piqing with a smile and said.

Gong Piqing originally thought that he would see the team members worried after he said this, after all, the queen is the pillar of the team along the way, and he has been hiding this secret for so long, he only said it now, the team members can not complain about him, he is already very content, can he still expect the team members to encourage him here?

But unexpectedly, he couldn't see a hint of blame in the smiling face in front of him, and the team members not only did not have low morale as he imagined, but also cheered themselves up in the team channel.

"Harm...... Captain, don't take it seriously, you still have us, haven't we all come here like this along the way? But...... You haven't told us why you didn't make some mutations to swim around, who sealed your mutation ability? Another team member asked from the squad channel.

Gong Piqing scratched his head with an embarrassed expression, "This ...... I don't know who sealed me, I just think that if it was before, I would have had some mutations after soaking in the sea for so long, but this time there were no mutations, and if you didn't stop to rest just now, I guess you would have been left behind more......"

"Strange to say, do you remember the live broadcast of the captain training in the training room for the first time? At that time, I remember that many people watched there, and the captain also fell into a sea of ice in the country of extreme cold, and there was an ice dragon chasing the captain there, and the captain turned into a fish in less than thirty seconds after falling into the water, and he swam so fast that he didn't even catch up with the big ice dragon. One of the team members recalled.

"I remember! Isn't it...... Although he escaped the pursuit of the ice dragon, he was frozen after he went ashore, and then the captain counter-killed and tortured the ice dragon to death? Another member of the team said.

Listening to the team members face to face and discuss themselves in the communication channel, Gong Piqing's face was as red as a duck, he probably knew that he was blushing, and he was embarrassed to raise his head to face the team, so he buried his head in his arms, looking like a silver pangolin from a distance.

"That's right, there was a mutation so soon after the captain fell into the water, why hasn't there been a mutation this time?" The team members discussed, and their eyes slowly fell on Gong Piqing, Gong Piqing now only has a thin exoskeleton on his body, and this exoskeleton doesn't even have a strong defensive effect, after all, this is what he mutated out to cover up his shame at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have cut his chest when he climbed this stone just now; But no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he can swim for a long time, and he doesn't even look as professional as the team members.

"I don't know why I can't mutate, let me tell you about my dream at the time, I was on a path that we experienced before the three illusions, but the path slowly became transparent as we walked, and the path was in the air, the path was suspended on the abyss, I didn't dare to walk after I walked to a place that was close to full transparency, I wanted to mutate a pair of wings and fly directly to the palace, but I failed." Gong Piqing said hesitantly in the squad channel.

But the team members seemed to be very interested in his dream, and asked from the channel, "Why did it fail?" If this is the picture that we moved out of your dream, you must tell us the details, Captain! Now that the queen is gone, we really have our lives in our own hands! ”

Gong Piqing sighed, and said in his heart I also know that our lives are in my own hands, but in my dream, I just didn't fly, I, my girl, I took off directly on my stomach, so can I fly! I was scared after I didn't fly for the first time, and then the more I was scared, the more I couldn't fly, and the more I couldn't fly, the more scared I became, and then I fell......

Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the abyss not far away, he felt that he might have a problem called "giant phobia", otherwise how could he be so scared after seeing the abyss? Fortunately, the stone under his feet is not big, the team members, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, you are quite stable, if it weren't for the team members around him, he estimated that just by looking at the abyss, he would have a feeling of being planted.

"And now? Why can you mutate wings in your dreams, but now you can't? If you could mutate your wings now, you would have held us in your claws or conjured a pocket to put us in your pocket, and we would have reached the palace so easily. One of the team members said.

Gong Piqing shook his head, "I don't know what happened after soaking in the water for so long without mutation, I try to take the initiative to conjure a pair of wings, if it works, I'll fly over with you directly, and we won't soak in this damn sea again." After Gong Piqing finished speaking, he stood up from the stone, so as not to push the team members off the stone when his wings were opened.

"But...... If I do conjure a pair of wings, do you dare me to take you there? In the past, when there was a queen, if I couldn't do it, I could still ask the queen to come out to help, but now ......" After standing up, he hesitated, because in the dream he failed, at most he fell into the abyss and drowned, but now if he fails, he holds the fate of the entire team in his hands, he has never made such a big bet in his life, as if failure or success is completely determined by the will of God, he is powerless in the face of the will of God, just like when he fell into the abyss in his dream......
