Chapter 300: Earth Well (Thanks to the alliance leader for Ji Jue's happy birthday

A full two and a half days, all the way south, crossing a thousand kilometers of snowy plains.

The pale snow color gradually thinned, and everything in sight gradually turned into pitch-black mountain ridges and gray-black stones; the temperature was still below zero, but it was no longer as terrifyingly cold as before; what followed was the gradual increase in altitude, and breathing gradually became difficult.

The altitude is changing.

The dead ice plains were left behind; in the direction of travel, one could occasionally see mice, wolf packs, and rock sheep; in the snow, huge yaks silently ate the grass roots under the snow powder, their dark eyes raised, glancing at the uninvited guest coming in the roar, and soon, they retracted their gaze without interest.

Occasionally, one could see herdsmen with dark skin and weathered faces riding on horses, watching from afar, holding whips for driving sheep in their hands, and seemingly smoking in their mouths forever.

It is really an enviable lung capacity.

Gradually, they welcomed the smoke of people, and the live broadcast lens of the airship gradually increased; occasionally, one could see cheering fans at the corners of the road, and others drove up, wanting to take pictures.

Kunwu Relay Station—Earth Well, arrived!

It is called a relay station, but it is just a small city close to the edge of the mountains; thanks to the rich output of the Kunwu mountains, many precious metal or gem sellers would send people to squat here all year round.

It is as if waiting on the treasure mountain, waiting for gold sand and gem gravel to slide down.

Waiting for the rabbit.

The seemingly dilapidated and inconspicuous city actually has staggering large amounts of funds flowing continuously every day.

Currently, there are dozens of large rare metal veins detected on the Kunwu Plateau alone; in some places, they are simply open-pit veins with very high purity, not lacking gold.

It is a pity that they can see it in their eyes, but they can't get it in their hands, and can't eat it in their mouths.

The complex changes in the plateau climate and the hypoxia brought by the altitude are secondary; the almost swarming disaster beasts are still okay to talk about; the frequent geological activities that are like diarrhea and going to the toilet, small earthquakes every ten days, big earthquakes every year, and even the expanding atmospheric holes and various ray bursts over the plateau over the years have brought poison and harm, making this magnificent mountain range a desperate situation in the literal sense.

After the lessons learned from many bloody and tragic cases, everyone only has the precious thing called reason turned out from their pockets and put back into their brains.

Keep a respectful distance.

Years ago, the mineral resources here were also called blood gold. Gold, jade, and precious materials were all dug out by miners who risked their lives and drilled into the mountains.

Even so, the scope of activities of the vast majority of people is limited to the periphery of the mountains, and the areas in the desolate mountains where countless blade-like intersections are are the paradise for lunatics who don't want their lives.

In the morning, it is a heavy rain, the seemingly flat road turns into a riverbed with muddy currents, and in the afternoon, under the scorching sun and poisonous rays, the scene of all things competing for life suddenly becomes dying. The groundless thunderstorms, earthquakes, skin diseases and cancers brought by rays, and the many strange disaster beasts bred in this desperate situation... the short four-day competition is the area with the highest mortality rate in the history of the rally.

"Great!"

An Ning cheered, unable to wait: "Finally, I can catch little mice. Little mice! Little mice!"

Ji Jue's eyes twitched, and he warned seriously: "If I find something extra in my sleeping bag, then it will definitely appear in someone's mouth in the end—"

"Then I can catch snakes!"

An Ning glared angrily: "Slimy, cold, slippery, twisting and turning..."

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

Ji Jue sighed helplessly, and then, when An Ning was triumphant and smiling, he added: "If I find it once, I will use your mobile phone to mass-send the video of you reciting the Federal Constitution, loving the law, and supporting Tian Tian Yuan affectionately to all your contacts."

An Ning sneered: "How could there be such a thing!"

"Isn't there? But I think there is."

Ji Jue looked over sideways and snapped his fingers; suddenly, An Ning's mobile phone began to sing the Central City Anthem loudly with her voice, no matter how she operated it, there was no response, until her whole person seemed to be bristling: "Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off quickly!"

It can only be said that no matter what kind of person, they are afraid of social death, even the White Deer is no exception.

Just a mere An Ning, easily handled!

Then, he found that the water bottle he picked up had been mixed with a lethal amount of salt by someone at some point...

Under Ji Jue's glare, An Ning looked at the window innocently, humming a song, serious as if participating in a holding-back-laughter challenge, and finally couldn't help but laugh while holding her stomach.

Just like that, along the road between the mountains, the muddy car sped upward.

Snow melted, dust was everywhere, and along the way, they experienced another sudden and fleeting heavy rain, and the blood ice on the whole car could no longer be seen.

It's just that the muddy front of the car and the pitch-black bumper always carried a kind of flowing scarlet that looked like a hallucination, and the roar of the engine was mixed with a shrill whistle like a wail.

Amidst cheers and shouts, they arrived at the end of the s1 route.

As a newcomer contestant participating in the Desolate Sea Rally for the first time, they finished the snow-covered snowy plains in fourth place, and even the temporary workers hired to sigh in wonder.

Upon arriving at the relay point, naturally, there were staff members arranged in advance who came up to handle various matters, and the long-prepared maintenance team began to inspect.

At the same time, the organizing committee's reception staff also brought a painful piece of news—although the search and rescue team searched for a long time, limited by the bad weather, they still did not find the Tiancheng contestants; just now, they had officially announced the missing driver and navigator missing to the outside world.

The search operation will continue, and we will make the greatest effort to carry out the rescue. Here, we remind the vast number of contestants and enthusiasts to cherish life and pay attention to safety.

Don't drive with anger, don't drive with anger!

In this regard, in the lens of the photographer, Mr. Ji Jue, the contestant who was full of shock and compassion, could only sigh melancholically, hands together: "I hope people are okay." The painful heart was overflowing with words.

Then, he bent down, carrying the heavy suitcase beside him, and walked toward the restaurant.

As for what's in the box...

Hahaha, of course, it's some personal items, it couldn't possibly be the missing contestants, right?

It's just that, the moment he pushed open the thick curtain and came out, in the slightly narrow competition camp, I don't know how many eyes looked over instantly.

The air was as if solidified, only the stern coldness permeated the thin air, and the sharp eyes were like knives, falling on that face filled with light smiles.

"What's going on?"

Ji Jue looked around curiously, full of confusion: "Everyone is so serious."

No one responded.

Most people's eyes fell on Ji Jue's hand, on that suitcase lingering with faint spiritual quality aura; it was hard to feel any fluctuation and exposed aura, but feeling the bloody smell on Ji Jue's body that was so thick it almost dripped water, and then thinking of his identity as a craftsman, it was hard not to think of something.

Especially the driver and navigator of the Northern Territory motorcade who had just arrived, the coldness that was hard to restrain surged in their indifferent eyes, but in the end, from the short gaze, they didn't do anything after all.

Www??????? co

Both sides passed by calmly.

From beginning to end, Ji Jue's footsteps did not slow down, but on the way to the rest area, his footsteps paused for a moment—near the door, empty liquor bottles were piled up like a mountain.

The burly giant, wearing only a tight vest, held the bottle with the mouth directly twisted off, raised his head, and drank the rich alcohol in one gulp.

Finally, he looked up at Ji Jue.

Ji Jue was also looking at him.

It's hard to imagine that those are eyes belonging to a human... or, some kind of pure dark void.

Once looking from afar through the crowd or satellites, he couldn't see that face clearly, but at this moment, Ji Jue finally confirmed that there was no spirit in those eyes, and even not a shred of emotion could be seen; disgust, killing intent, anger, or joy, none at all, nearly non-human.

It was like an abyss without a bottom, a black hole constantly longing to break free from shackles.

Under the pressure of the earth's crust over the years, coal will transform into diamonds, and under the shackles of the matrix and blessing, the soul that has already surpassed the peak of rebirth has gradually embraced the essence of the ruins, transcended the mortal world, and gradually become non-human. Across layers of soul-level blockages, one can still feel the violent aura calling out.

It's like a volcano that has been gestating for decades; when you smell the sulfur, you should understand that the eruption of destruction is not far away.

Now, the volcano is in front of him.

The invisible stagnation zone spread out, blocking the way.

"Have a drink?"

The giant named Yue Chen raised the wine bottle to invite, his face seemingly revealing a trace of a smile, although there was no half-bit of smile.

"No, thanks." Ji Jue shook his head, without thinking.

"As you wish."

He unscrewed the bottle mouth, raised his head again, drank it in one gulp, and suddenly said: "Withdraw from the race? If you withdraw now, I'll let you go."

In the dead silence, not only his assistant, but I don't know how many people stood up subconsciously, shocked or furious.

But under Yue Chen's gaze, they all fell silent.

Unable to make a sound.

Only a light laugh, not caring at all.

"Sorry, didn't consider it."

Ji Jue looked around at the surroundings, looked at his appearance, and suddenly laughed, "The competition is quite interesting, right?"

That kind of smile was without any mockery, peaceful.

But at this moment, it formed a sharp contrast with that hollow smile, setting him off, as if wearing a mask; gradually, the fake smile dissipated without a trace, leaving only coldness.

"This road, it doesn't work."

"Roads are everywhere; if one doesn't work, just take a detour." Ji Jue asked back: "Besides, as long as no one is blocking the front, where is there a road that doesn't work?"

Hum—!!!

In that instant, a suddenly piercing sound erupted, surging and radiating, stinging everyone's eardrums.
