The first 30-minute time limit ended when all four members of the white camp arrived. Waves that were taller than the one before leaped into the air. When the waves fell back into the sea, the rocks that Maxin had not stepped on disappeared without a trace.
Only a row of ten by ten reefs was left on the surface of the vast ocean. There was no end to the yellow shadows on both sides of the ocean. The members of the white camp stood in a straight line, blocking the way forward and blocking Ji Shanqing's way. Ji Shanqing did not manage to get out of the encirclement in time.
It seemed like Ji Shanqing had planned to avoid the first hippie and escape from the last reef. However, before he could get out of the encirclement, three more members of the white camp appeared. Now, both Ji Shanqing and Maxin were trapped right under their noses.
When Ji Shanqing glanced at the four members of the white camp, he frowned. For some reason, he felt a little disappointed.
"There are ten of them in a row …" The hippie who was the first to reach the edge of the encirclement had finished counting the reefs of the black camp. He retracted his finger and said to another member of the white camp with a smile, "It seems like they only have average stamina. They only chose to keep a hundred reefs."
About two or three hundred meters away from him, a girl in panda pajamas was standing on the surface of the sea in the same posture. It seemed that she was the one who had jumped off the reef. At this time, she had a panda hat on her head, and under the shadow, a small heart-shaped face was vaguely revealed.
"There are only a hundred reefs. Do you need two people to walk together? What's that long, flesh-colored strip? " She asked with a crisp voice as she spat out a bubble of chewing gum. Then, she raised her chin at Maxin like they were old friends. "Hey, which one of you is the maggot?"
Before Maxin could reply, the person next to the panda girl spoke up.
"This young man is so good-looking," the person said as his eyes lingered on Maxin for a while. His voice was filled with admiration. "Look at him. His facial features are so sharp, and his eyes are like stars in the night sky. They are so clean …"
If the person who said this was not a dispirited old man with a thick layer of white powder, Maxin might have been happy.
Under his white makeup and pink lipstick, his cheeks were stiff and full, as if they were going to slip away due to old age. He seemed to be more interested in Maxin. When he glanced at the grand prize, he frowned and said, "Are you … a boy? Don't dress like a girl next time. It doesn't look good. "
Ji Shanqing was unmoved. "I'm not."
'You're not? '
Maxin thought. He took a closer look at Ji Shanqing. Is she a girl? '
"Cut the crap," the fourth person said coldly. The man was wrapped in a long brown robe from head to toe. His face could not be seen clearly, and even his gender was difficult to distinguish. It was as if he was speaking through a voice changer. His voice was dull and strange. "We still have business to attend to."
"Don't worry," the hippie said as he pointed at the sea. "I haven't …"
"Be careful!" It was the old man who shouted. He had been watching Maxin closely, so he was the first one to notice Maxin's movement. However, Maxin was as fast as lightning. Before they could react, he had already stepped on the rock where Ji Shanqing was and put the mermaid's tail on his arm.
"I'll hold them off, you go!" he said to Ji Shanqing in a low voice.
Ji Shanqing was stunned. "That's four people!"
"I won't let them pass the yellow shadow safely!"
Ji Shanqing furrowed her brows. She bit her lips until they were red. Before she could say anything, the hippie and the panda girl had seized the opportunity to charge at the reefs. Frustrated and anxious, Maxin whipped his tail hard on the surface of the water, and a wave wrapped in yellow shadows twisted into a long dragon and formed a high wall in the water, charging at the intruders.
"It's too dangerous to pass through the yellow shadow now," Ji Shanqing said in a low voice. "I'll hold them off with you first. When the time is right, you can cover me."
Soulsqn and Hegel were temporarily holding the reefs, so they did not have to worry about them for at least half an hour. Looking at the two figures retreating from afar, Maxin frowned. Finally, before the white waves engulfed them, they had retreated to a safe area.
Indeed, it was too dangerous for Ji Shanqing to pass through their blockade alone.
"You don't have to take the risk! Since all of them are here, "Maxin said hurriedly." If we can hold them off for 30 minutes, their reefs will disappear automatically … "
"Not 30 minutes," Ji Shanqing shook his head. "It's an hour."
"An hour?"
Just as the question popped up in his mind, he quickly realized that it had only been an hour, wasn't it?
Every time someone stepped on a reefs, it would start the countdown again. If the time of departure was the first minute, then the reefs that were stepped on in the first minute would naturally disappear on the thirty-first minute. However, the reefs that were stepped on in the thirtieth minute would only disappear on the sixty-first minute.
The black camp could not afford to wait for an hour. Within 30 minutes, Maxin had to return to take over the reefs that Soulsqn had jumped over.
"That's why I have to get out of here as soon as possible," Ji Shanqing said with determination. "Once I leave, I'll leave the rest to you!"
Maxin gritted his teeth and nodded. The waves in the distance fell back into the sea. Countless yellow shadows were still struggling in the air as if they were trying to catch a prey. Like a rain of locusts falling from the sky, they fell into the water and landed on the reefs, temporarily keeping the four members of the white camp at bay.
Just as Maxin was about to leave, Ji Shanqing grabbed his wrist. When he turned around, he saw a pair of glistening eyes staring at him.
"Hegel," she whispered, "he has enough stamina to handle these reefs. If necessary, let him jump over them. Also … "He paused for a moment, and his voice carried a hint of pleading. "He knows something related to my sister. I really want to know. He won't tell me, but he might tell you. I'm counting on you. "
When Maxin leaped back to the reefs, the skin on his wrist was still warm.
He had returned at the perfect time. As soon as he regained his footing, the white camp launched another attack. The panda girl placed her finger on her lips and let out a sharp whistle. Maxin soon understood what she was trying to do. As if summoned, the thick white fog in the sky poured down from above. In an instant, the sky and the water were shrouded by the thick fog, turning everything into a blurry grayish white.
Maxin stretched his arms and realized that he could not even see his fingernails. It was as if someone had dipped them in a bucket of dirty milk.
Now, even if they were right in front of him, he would not be able to see them. But what about the white camp? The panda girl was one thing, but what about the rest of them? Were they not afraid of stepping into the yellow fog?
Maxin pricked up his ears and listened to every sound in the white fog. The waves lapped against the reefs slowly. Occasionally, the wind would blow away a puff of white fog, only to be replaced by another puff of white fog. His breathing and heartbeat were louder than anything else.
It was extremely quiet.
Whether it was the four people from the white camp or Ji Shanqing and Soulsqn from his own camp, all of them seemed to have been wiped off the face of the earth by the thick white fog. The louder the sound of the waves became, the more silent the area around him became.
With one of his arms still in the mermaid's tail, Maxin crouched down and felt for the edge of the reefs. At this moment, he regretted turning around and looking around. He had no idea which direction he was facing now. If he were to stir up the seawater, would the white camp or Ji Shanqing be the one to suffer?
Just as he thought of Ji Shanqing, he heard her scream from the white fog in the distance.
"Sis!"
Maxin was stunned. He almost thought that he was hallucinating. However, Ji Shanqing's voice did not fade away. Instead, it turned into a muffled groan. She seemed to have been caught off guard by an attack. With a pained voice, she screamed again, "Sis!"
Maxin dashed toward the direction where the mermaid's voice came from. Using the wave created by the mermaid's tail, he estimated the rough location of the next reefs. Gritting his teeth, he tried his best not to think about what would happen if he fell from the reefs. Then, he leaped into the white fog.
