Chapter 696

Since that was the case, he simply stated it in advance to avoid this situation; if it still occurred, the old players' refusal wouldn't cause too much resentment from the newcomers.

Lin Ye was responsible for 2 groups, adding up to ten people in total.

"Ling, Brother Ling, it's going to be troublesome next."

Facing their temporary grouping with Lin Ye, the newcomer players were happy!

"Let's first talk about what the ingredient requirements you need to find are."

"Eh, wasn't it just now you said..."

"When searching, we can also discover them in time."

"Oh, oh, oh, so that's how it is."

The new players immediately said,

"Mine is golden hair and wings, and the weight needs to be two jin."

"Our group's is black fruit, and the individual weight needs to reach one kilogram."

……

The ingredients required by the organizers basically involved color and weight.

But the effect of analyzing this pattern wasn't very great.

"Let's go! Pay attention to things underfoot; once you perceive a problem, inform us in time."

"No problem, please rest assured, Brother Ling."

……

The two groups of newcomers were full of confidence; with Lin Ye there, they wouldn't have any danger at all. Their luck in being able to join a group with Lin Ye was really too good.

When all the players had left and headed off,

the host, the masked man, waved his hand. "Immediately rush to those few trees and pick all the red fruits; don't leave a single one for him."

He happened to remember that the types of red fruits in this area weren't many, and knowing the location, they could completely head there and handle it the fastest.

"Even if you swapped the slips, you're still not our match at all."

How could the person we organizers want to target continue to clear the level and get first place!

Letting Lin Ye become the champion of the third Gourmet Sports Meet is simply an insult to them.

Before long, several staff members also disappeared into the forest.

……

'Rustle...'

'Rustle, rustle, rustle...'

Lin Ye's group walked one after another on a path that couldn't be counted as a road.

The surrounding grass was lush, dotted with a few small pink and red flowers.

'Snap...'

Leng Shuang, walking at the very front, slashed with her sword, cutting down the branches of a tree blocking the way.

"We've been walking for ten minutes already; why haven't we even seen a shadow of vegetables, fruits, or animals?"

Animals could hear movement and run away, but fruits and vegetables definitely couldn't. But why hadn't they discovered even one thing until now? Looking at it, it was all green, as if the items they were looking for didn't exist at all.

"Still nothing."

Another ten minutes passed.

Their group still had nothing to show for it.

This made the newcomers' sense of urgency constantly increase.

But Lin Ye didn't have any anxiety; his mindset was very steady.

"Rest for five minutes."

After receiving Lin Ye's instruction, the newcomers found a place to sit down one after another.

Continuous walking was also quite a burden for them.

Nakiri Erina sat down, breathing gently to adjust her state.

To tell the truth, the fatigue she had accumulated up to now couldn't be relieved just by staying in place; she needed to lie on a bed and have a good sleep.

Only one complete, deep sleep could completely relieve the fatigue of her day.

She looked up at the sky, but it was covered by dense tree branches and green leaves; sunlight couldn't penetrate much, causing it to be a bit chilly here.

"Miss Leng, you rest first."

Leng Shuang understood Lin Ye's meaning, and she sat down.

And Lin Ye stood and walked around, observing the situation around them.

Although they hadn't encountered any creatures like wild beasts or animals up to now, but... they must exist; just where would they be!

Lin Ye observed, but his vision wasn't very useful here. He used his clairvoyance skill, and after failing to find anything several times, he temporarily stopped using it.

Here, he still had to search through hearing and feeling for the time being.

Five minutes passed very quickly.

"Prepare to set off."

The newcomers were a bit reluctant, but they still got up and followed the team forward.

Leng Shuang walked in front, Lin Ye walked second,

and at the back of the team were two strong male newcomer players.

This was out of consideration for safety.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Crisp footsteps rang out constantly, and the branches being stepped on made creaking sounds.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Suddenly,

a strange sound of fleeing rang out,

from near to far, fleeing.

"Over there."

Leng Shuang pointed. "I'll go."

After finishing and receiving Lin Ye's consent, Leng Shuang immediately darted out.

Besides finding the ingredients that met the conditions they needed this time, they also needed to find ingredients that could be eaten to replenish physical strength and restore spirit.

The organizers absolutely wouldn't provide them with dinner food and water; they could only rely on themselves to find food in this jungle.

'Swish, swish, swish...'

Leng Shuang's speed was very fast, but the dense forest still blocked her pace and figure, leading her to ultimately fail to keep up with that unknown creature fleeing on the ground.

Half a minute later, Lin Ye caught up.

"Sorry, I lost it."

"It's okay, let's follow the tracks and see."

Lin Ye squatted down and found the traces on the mud.

Unlike general players who found it difficult to search because their vision was blocked, he could use clairvoyance to quickly find the traces, making it easy to track.

The only thing to pay attention to was that if he used it too much, his eyes would be sore; if he used it continuously, he had to worry about the problem of nearsightedness and going blind.

Clairvoyance was still very useful; Lin Ye decided to upgrade it later to extend the side-effect-free time and reduce the cooldown time.

He walked all the way, following the tracks, and after about five minutes, Lin Ye stopped his pace.

"Found it?"

Leng Shuang was already accustomed to Lin Ye's performance.

How Lin Ye tracked it this time and what skill he used, she was naturally very curious and could give a few guesses, but considering this was unfavorable to the relationship between the two sides, she didn't ask, but treated everything as normal and didn't make any inquisitive or curious behavior.

"Hmm, found it."

Rabbits, gray, with a sharp horn on the forehead, very long front teeth, but not sharp, body very fat, much larger than ordinary rabbits, and there were three of them.

These three were enough to enjoy a beautiful meal.

"Where are they hiding?"

Lin Ye pointed.

Leng Shuang looked over and saw withered grass that was yellow-green; she didn't see a shadow of an animal at all.

"Hiding inside, there are three in total."

Lin Ye could use time-stop to catch them directly, but considering the potential danger, he temporarily didn't plan to use the precious count on these few rabbits. ===== CHAPTER 697 =====
