Although they didn't know what this Rocket Team elite was planning, seeing that he had flown a long distance in the blink of an eye, some of the Rocket Team members on the beach immediately released their flying mounts and followed him.
The members of the Rocket Team who could enter the second stage of the competition were naturally very strong. Other than a few people who were seriously biased, they basically had all kinds of flying mounts.
For a moment, a long line quickly appeared in the sky.
Of course, in the Guan Dong area, seven or eight of the ten Rocket Team members had flying mounts that were either Bi Birds or Big-mouthed Sparrows.
Kaede Sato was the only person in the long line who used a Forked Bat as a flying mount and was at the front of the long line. Naturally, he was extremely eye-catching.
However, as the focus of everyone's attention, Sato Kaede acted as if nothing had happened. Putting on his goggles, he did not say a word as he directed his Bat to follow the Rocket Squad elite male who was riding the Quasi Heavenly King Bi Condor.
In the beginning, the speed of the Bi Bird under the Rocket Team elite was not particularly fast. Kaede Sato and the others with flying mounts could also keep up.
But gradually, as time passed, the speed of the Bi Bird under the Rocket Team elite began to gradually increase. The long line in the sky that was originally relatively close to each other began to stretch longer and longer, and the gap between the members also became larger and larger.
At present, other than Kaede Sato, who had a Forked Bat, only a few Rocket Team members riding on Bi Birds could still keep up with the Rocket Team elite's speed.
There was no doubt that Kaede Sato and the others were the fastest people in the first echelon of the long line in the sky. Most of the remaining Rocket Team members could only follow them from afar.
Kaede Sato faced the strong wind that blew against his face. He turned his head and looked around and behind him. He found that there were only about ten people within a radius of three to four hundred meters, and the Rocket Team members behind him had become small black dots.
"Is he going to bring us somewhere else? However, the speed of the Flying Eagle beneath him is getting faster and faster. I'm afraid some of the people at the back can't keep up. As expected, the competition has already begun. This might be the first test."
Seeing this situation, Kaede Sato couldn't help but secretly ponder the intention of the Rocket elite in front of him who had been silent ever since he left those words on the beach. Then, he came to the above conclusion.
Now, Kaede Sato was also secretly exclaiming his good luck. He was very glad that his Big-mouth Bat had successfully evolved into a Forked Bat at the port of Zhenxin Town. Be it in terms of flying speed or endurance, it was one of the best flying mounts.
Otherwise, Kaede Sato would have been left far behind by the elite members of the Rocket Squad just by relying on the Big-mouthed Bat's flying speed and endurance. He was now at the end of the long line in the sky, and he might not even be able to keep up with the rest.
If he couldn't keep up with the rest, he would naturally be eliminated because he couldn't find the real gathering point. If Kaede Sato guessed correctly, some people in the long line behind him had already started to fall behind.
He had carefully counted on the beach. This time, there were a total of 100 members of the Rocket Squad gathered on the beach. However, if the elite leading the way continued to accelerate the Flying Eagle …
Other than Kaede Sato and a dozen other members of the Rocket Team who were in the first echelon of the flying dragon, who were able to steadily keep up with the elite male members of the Rocket Team, only the people in the second echelon of the flying dragon could barely keep up.
This way, at least half of the 100 people would be eliminated at the beginning of the competition.
Fortunately, the elite member of the Rocket Squad did not intend to eliminate half of the people at the beginning. After he noticed that the number of people behind him was a little low, he began to deliberately slow down the Flying Eagle beneath him.
Of course, this speed was already very fast for the people in the second echelon and the tail of the long line. If they didn't go all out, it was very likely that they would be left behind by the rest of the team.
However, although the flying speed did not continue to increase and decreased, Kaede Sato and the other contestants began to face a new problem — the problem of flying mounts' endurance.
From the beginning until now, Kaede Sato and the other contestants had been flying in the air with the elite member of the Rocket Squad for more than an hour. They had flown more than hundreds of kilometers.
After flying at high speed for more than an hour, even large flying mounts would begin to feel a little tired, let alone the small flying mounts such as the Flying Eagle and the Blazing Sparrow that had yet to evolve into their final form.
At this time, Kaede Sato noticed that the number of members of the Rocket Squad who could still be seen from afar had decreased by more than half.
This arduous battle of attrition continued for another ten minutes. The sky began to darken, and Kaede Sato noticed that the speed of his Forked Bat had begun to decrease due to exhaustion.
The elite member of the Rocket Squad, who had already pulled a long distance away from him, finally began to command the Flying Eagle under him to descend rapidly toward a small island on the sea.
"Phew … I can finally stop."
Seeing that the elite member of the Rocket Squad had finally decided to stop, Kaede Sato immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly commanded the Flying Eagle members around him to descend from the sky like the other members of the Rocket Squad.
"Rest here for half an hour."
The elite member of the Rocket Squad was still cold and didn't say much. When he saw that Kaede Sato and the other contestants who were barely able to keep up with him landed on the island with him, he began to look for a place to rest. He didn't seem to have any intention of explaining anything to Kaede Sato and the others.
Kaede Sato and the others were also exhausted. Seeing that the elite member of the Rocket Squad was so cold, they realized that this long-distance flight was a test.
In order to restore their and Little Elf's strength as soon as possible, they naturally found a place to rest. After all, no one knew when they would be able to rest again.
As the elite member of the Rocket Squad stopped on the island, the members of the Rocket Squad, who were at the end of the first echelon and the front and middle echelon of the second echelon, also landed on the island one after another.
However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes before disappearing. After that, no more members of the Rocket Squad descended from the completely dark night sky to the island.
Kaede Sato, who was resting against a coconut tree, carefully counted. Other than the elite member of the Rocket Squad who was not a contestant, there were only 58 people left on the beach.
After this long-distance flight test, 42 contestants were directly eliminated in advance. The elimination rate was as high as 40%.
With such a high elimination rate, it could not help but cast a deep shadow over the hearts of many contestants who barely managed to follow. The atmosphere on the beach was very gloomy at this time.
Kaede Sato had no extra time to care about other people's affairs. Although he was one of the few people who had been following the elite member of the Rocket Squad, his current situation was a little bad.
His entire shoulder was sore at this time. Without any special flight equipment, the Cross Bat had been using its feet to grab onto his shoulder to fly.
This kind of flying method was fine for a short period of time, but after a long period of time, even if the Cross Bat's feet could still hold on, Kaede Sato's shoulders began to be unable to withstand the continuous pull of gravity.
"This lesson tells me that I have to build a set of flight equipment for the Cross Bat to carry people in the future." Kaede Sato thought while gnashing his teeth as he rubbed some good medicine on his severely red and swollen shoulders.
"You really came, Kaede Sato. I knew you wouldn't miss this newcomer competition. Speaking of which, where have you been for more than a month? I haven't seen you at the base. "
Just as Kaede Sato finished rubbing the medicine and was about to release Melaleuca to speed up his recovery, a pleasant voice suddenly appeared behind Kaede Sato.
