Chapter 722: Jealousy Makes People Unrecognizable
Although the spirit beast tide was ferocious, wave after wave.
It couldn't pose a threat to Fito and the others, after all, explorers from various countries were inside, a large number of people, and every single one was elite!
But their spiritual energy was being consumed wildly, and the outbreak of battle seriously dragged down their travel speed!
Adams was about to explode with anger!
So Jiangnan had been recklessly luring spirit beasts over just to give them to us?
Could he be any more despicable? What the hell is that short-wearing bear anyway!
[Resentment from Adams +1000!]
But all they could do was watch helplessly as the Chinese explorer team charged straight toward the foot of the mountain!
And the blood-drinking bat swarm, seeing that Jiangnan's group couldn't be harmed, also turned and rushed toward Fito and the others!
After all, in the eyes of spirit beasts, humans are just humans, no different!
Facing the repeated dives of the blood-drinking bats, the main force slowed down even more!
Adams grew anxious—if they kept fighting like this, there would be no end to it!
"Forget the main force! Everyone protect the sides of the antigravity vehicles and chase them!"
The Fish Kingdom personnel fought desperately to break through the beast tide and pursue Jiangnan's group!
Seeing that Jiangnan and his team were almost out of sight, Youli also grew anxious. Just as he was about to order a chase, their supply truck got stuck.
Youli's eyes reddened with anger: "We're all humans, why is Jiangnan faster than us? I can't accept this!"
"This piece of junk truck isn't even as good as my tractor back home! I, Tuolasiji, have never been weaker than anyone!"
As he spoke, he lifted the supply truck's bumper with his big hands and hoisted it onto his shoulder!
"Brothers! Lift the truck and chase them! White Emperor Holy Sword! Follow me with sword flight!"
At his shout, the Goose Kingdom explorers all reddened their eyes. Immediately, thirty to fifty burly men rushed up, managing to lift the thirty-ton supply truck onto their shoulders!
They roared: "Take my sword! Number one sword of Huaxia, Ura!"
With fierce momentum, over two hundred people carrying the supply truck charged straight into the beast tide, their legs churning into blurs, iron fists flying wildly!
They carved a bloody path through the beast tide, madly chasing after Jiangnan!
Watching this, Shirley's eyes widened: Do you guys have to be this beastly?
Are you going this hard just to catch up to Jiangnan?
Danny exploded: "If they can carry a truck, then so can we! My Paladin Academy isn't weak either!"
"Gentlemen, lift the truck and chase them!"
The students, fired up by Danny's shout, lifted their supply trucks and charged into the beast tide!
But their faces turned red from exertion, gasping for breath!
Shirley: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
They can carry the truck because they have good physical fitness and strength!
You guys are a bunch of fragile long-range fighters—what the hell are you doing carrying a truck?
Why compare yourselves to them?
And seriously, do you even understand? Trucks are meant to be driven, not carried!
Fito and the others shivered at the scene!
How long had it been since they entered? The poison of the sin of jealousy had already infected their bodies and started affecting their emotions and judgment?
Just then, Jiangnan's main force had reached the foot of the mountain!
Ling Feng shouted upward: "Nan Shen? Should we turn?"
Jiangnan waved his hand: "Turning would make us take a detour! If you're a man, you go straight!"
Xia Yao: (≖﹏≖٥)
Is that why you're such a straight-laced man?
The mecha backpacks hanging on the four corners of the supply truck spouted blue flames!
Carrying the supply truck, they flew up the mountain!
And the motorcycle army showed no sign of turning either, charging straight toward the rock mountain!
Just then, Jiangnan snapped his fingers: "Spatial Barrier! Sky Road!"
Instantly, 10m×10m spatial barriers were laid out one by one in the void!
Six of them were arranged vertically, and as they passed, Jiangnan rearranged them to the front, allowing the Sky Road to extend continuously!
The motorcycle army climbed madly along the Sky Road, actually riding up into the sky!
Over hills and mountains, they charged straight toward the finish line!
Riding their motorcycles in the sky, Ling Feng and the others were ecstatic, their faces flushed red!
"Holy shit!"
A spatial system user can play like this? You've really developed it to the extreme!
Qin Shou chuckled: "Basic operations, don't be amazed. It's all 'holy shit' along the way. I like how you guys act like you've never seen the world!"
At this moment, the Chinese explorers were completely convinced by Jiangnan. This move was way too suffocating!
But Adams, Youli, and the others, watching the motorcycles riding in the sky, were thoroughly red-eyed!
So everyone is going airborne?
Stop showing off! In this short time, you've embroidered a whole Along the River During the Qingming Festival!
Their jealousy burned even hotter!
"Chase them! Chase them!"
Youli, eyes bloodshot: "We'll go straight too! No sleep tonight! Charge!"
Two to three hundred people from the White Emperor Holy Sword carried the supply truck and charged up the mountain, cutting down trees, killing beasts, and bulldozing straight ahead!
Jiangnan looked at Youke, Danny, and the others in confusion: We're just a bit faster than you—do you really have to try this hard?
Then he suddenly snapped back to reality, breaking out in a cold sweat.
The poison of the sin of jealousy had already begun to infect people and affect their emotions!
Not just Youli and the others—on his own side, the reason they were so anxious was also because of jealousy?
Not wanting the other teams to fall behind or surpass them?
Jiangnan's expression turned serious. The original sin poison in the abyss was even stronger than in the Nightless City!
If they weren't careful, being subtly influenced could lead to disaster.
"Everyone, attention! Stop every four hours. Girls detoxify, boys stand guard!"
"Next rotation, swap for detoxification. Ensure everyone detoxifies once every eight hours to eliminate the effects!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a wave of complaints rose from the team!
"Ah? No way! I don't feel any effect. I'm in great shape! There's no need!"
"Detoxifying takes three hours. Won't that waste the lead we've worked so hard to gain?"
"How about we just rush to the finish line first and then detoxify? It won't hurt to wait a bit!"
Jiangnan's face was emotionless: "And you still say you're not affected? Greed for quick success, strong competitiveness—do you have to wait until someone dies to learn?"
"What did I say when we came? Obey orders!"
The team members shivered, suddenly realizing the problem.
The poison of the sin of jealousy had already begun to influence them subtly!
If Jiangnan hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have noticed!
Four hours later, Jiangnan's group found a clearing in the wilderness.
An earth system spirit warrior pressed his hands to the ground, causing the earth to ripple like ocean waves.
Using earth and stone, they sculpted high walls and built dirt bathrooms inside.
The girls, with detoxifying soybeans in their mouths, one hand holding a phone, the other holding toilet paper, filed into the bathrooms.
Gong Lin glared: "Anyone who dares peek—head smashed, legs broken, ass kicked into four pieces!"
The boys all looked terrified and shook their heads vigorously.
Soon, from inside the walls came the roar of artillery fire, even causing the dirt walls to crumble.
Thick white smoke rose from within, drifting high into the air.
Wang Ba was awestruck: "Is this a bathroom? It's a beacon tower! Smoke signals rising!"
Qin Shou chuckled: "It really does look like it. Just need a fire. Brother Ba, want to give it a try?"
Wang Ba shivered—try it and it would be his funeral!
Ling Feng pouted: "Detoxifying is just detoxifying—do you have to be so elaborate?"
Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly: "The more elaborate part is over there."
Everyone followed Xiao Zhen's gaze to see Jiangnan driving out the off-road RV.
Xuexue, Langmie, and Mila were detoxifying inside, and even Xiao Jiuwo didn't miss out.
Wu Liang and Xiong Er were making beggar's chicken, which would be ready in about three hours, just in time to replenish the girls' energy.
Jiangnan, meanwhile, was squatting beneath the beacon tower, taking selfies with his phone.
₍๑•⌔•๑₎ﾉ目✧
Yay～
Everyone covered their faces: Why aren't we spatial system users? Then we could live this comfortably all the time!
We're so jealous!
Two hours passed, and the beacon tower's smoke continued.
Occasionally, some spirit beasts charged over but were mercilessly killed.
Just then, a thunderous roar came from the hillside, mud spraying everywhere!
Large swaths of trees were smashed!
Over two hundred black people carrying three huge coffins... uh...
No!
It was over two hundred people covered in black mud, carrying three supply trucks, bursting out of the mountain!
It was Youli, Youke, and their team!
They were covered in black mud, panting heavily, with wounds clawed by spirit beasts. Their eyes were bloodshot but filled with excitement!
"Haha! We finally caught up! Keep charging! Leave them in the dust!"
"How long have they been stopped? Are they too cocky?"
"The tortoise and the hare—this is how the hare loses!"
"What damn original sin poison? It hasn't affected us at all! Willpower conquers all! Ura! Charge!"
The over two hundred Goose Kingdom explorers, looking like little black ghosts, roared as they rushed over the hill and plunged into another mountain...
Afraid that Jiangnan's team would catch up in a moment!
At this moment, Ling Feng and the others shivered!
How badly has the poison corrupted you all? And you say you're not affected?
Jealousy has made you completely unrecognizable!
Now everyone was extremely grateful they'd followed Nan Shen's order earlier, or who knows what state they'd be in now.
Just then, a voice came from the beacon tower, belonging to the little rabbit: "They're wrong!"
"The tortoise-and-hare race—the hare lost because the tortoise was actually faster from the start!"
Ling Feng: ???
Wang Ba scratched his head: "Holy shit? I never knew that!"
