Zhao Hai and the others stared. Then Zhao Hai felt happy and said, "Alright, we can use the transmission formation now. But if we go back now, I'm afraid that they wouldn't be able to calculate our results. I think we should wait for a few more hours."
Xiong Li and the others weren't anxious. In any case, there wasn't any danger here. They could just wait for a few more hours. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "Alright, don't worry. Come, let's eat something. We'll leave the rest to the undead." After saying that, he waved his hand and summoned some humanoid Undead, ordering them to clean up the fish that escaped the net. At the same time, he and Xiong Li sat on the transmission formation and took out a big crab. They ate the crab while drinking wine.
The group sat on the transmission formation. After the formation was opened, people from Fifth Base would be able to come and go. However, there was a problem, and that was that there was no one on the formation. Now that Zhao Hai and the others were sitting on the formation, the formation was useless.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't think too much about it. They just thought that the white light on the formation meant that Fifth Base had opened the transmission formation. They didn't think too much about it. They were afraid that the Cultivators would make things difficult for them. Therefore, they planned to wait for a few more hours before returning to Fifth Base. However, they didn't expect that their actions would make Ma Rulong and the others anxious.
This time, opening the formation in advance wasn't as simple as opening the formation. They also needed to send reinforcements to the Wormhole.
At this point, the base already knew that there was an insect tide in the Wormhole. In order to ensure the safety of the contestants, they prepared to open the Wormhole in advance and send reinforcements. In fact, the moment the transmission formation was opened, the elimination round had already ended.
Zhao Hai didn't know about this. Laura and the others were also monitoring the underground wormhole, so they didn't pay attention to what was happening in the base. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't know that the opening of the formation meant that the elimination round was over. They were still waiting for their turn.
On the other hand, Ma Rulong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Ever since he learned about the insect tide, Ma Rulong had been anxious. In Ma Rulong's opinion, it didn't matter if other people died or not. In any case, the Machine Field was almost completely wiped out in the Six Realms Newcomer Competition. What he was most concerned about was Zhao Hai's situation.
Zhao Hai had already shown his extraordinary strength when he received three strikes from Li Chuchen and killed Gongsun Zheng. This time, Ma Rulong was counting on Zhao Hai to achieve something. If something happened to Zhao Hai, then he would be in big trouble.
Because of this, when the transmission formation was opened, Ma Rulong wanted to send reinforcements to Zhao Hai. However, even though the transmission formation was opened, it still couldn't be used.
The Cultivation Realm's design of this transmission formation was very clever. This transmission formation had a function. As long as someone was standing on one of the two coordinate formations, the other coordinate formation wouldn't be able to be used. Of course, this wasn't limited to people, it was the same even if living creatures were standing on it.
Naturally, when the Cultivation Realm made the transmission formation, they also thought about the possibility of some animals running to it and making it unusable. Because of this, they added a very special material to the formation. This material was called Insect Repellent Incense. This incense was made from wood. This wood can emit a smell that both the insect race and other beasts didn't like. Because of this, the transmission formation wouldn't be occupied by the insect race or the insect race. Only the Human race could use it.
Because of this, when Zhao Hai and the others went to the wormhole to participate in the elimination round, the insectoids just stood outside the transmission formation and waited for them. None of the insectoids went to the transmission formation.
Originally, Ma Rulong thought that once the transmission formation was opened, the reinforcements would be able to pass through. But he didn't expect that the transmission formation wouldn't work. This made Ma Rulong feel strange. Could it be that someone was standing on the transmission formation? Moreover, it was a living person. One must know that if there was a dead person lying on the transmission formation, then the transmission formation would still work.
Ma Rulong didn't know what was going on. Insects didn't like the smell of the teleportation formation, so they wouldn't stand on it. If a dead person was on the teleportation formation, then the teleportation formation should be able to function normally. Since these two possibilities didn't exist, then there was only one possibility. There was a living person on the teleportation formation. But if there was a living person on the teleportation formation, then they should know that the teleportation formation was working and should immediately teleport back. Why was there still no one?
Ma Rulong's heart was burning with anxiety. He didn't know what happened in the wormhole. He was afraid that Zhao Hai and the others would be wiped out. Although he already had such a plan, Zhao Hai gave him hope. If a person didn't have hope, then he wouldn't be disappointed. But now that he had hope, he was about to lose it. This made him even more disappointed. Ma Rulong was like this.
Ma Rulong anxiously walked around the transmission formation while Zheng Li stood there with an ugly expression on his face. Zheng Li hadn't been in charge of the fifth base for a day or two. He had been in charge of the base for several years. Some time ago, the attack of the Silverback Winged Insects was the most dangerous one. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai, then the fifth base wouldn't have survived. Zheng Li wasn't a heartless person, he always remembered Zhao Hai's kindness.
But in this situation, there was nothing he could do. If the transmission formation didn't work, then nobody could do anything. He could only contact the people from the other bases and have them go to the transmission formation.
However, Zheng Li knew that the chances of that happening were very low. There was a bug tide going on in the wormhole. It would be good enough if the reinforcements could rescue the contestants. It would be impossible for them to fight their way to the teleportation array at Base Five.
However, Zheng Li still did his best. He had done everything he could. The rest was up to fate.
Time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, eight hours had passed. Ma Rulong didn't leave the transmission formation, he just waited there. After such a long time, the transmission formation still couldn't be used. Ma Rulong even suspected that the transmission formation was broken.
At this moment, the transmission formation suddenly flashed. Ma Rulong and Zheng Li were stunned. Then the two of them stood still and looked at the transmission formation. This was a large transmission formation. It could transport up to 300 people at a time. They wanted to see how many people would be sent out.
The white light on the transmission formation disappeared, but only a few people appeared. But when Ma Rulong saw these people, a smile bloomed on his face. Even Zheng Li, who was standing on the side, felt relieved. The people who appeared in the transmission formation were Zhao Hai and the others.
Just as Ma Rulong felt relieved, he suddenly froze. This was because he saw that Zhao Hai and the others' faces were red. It seems like they had just drunk some wine.
Ma Rulong quickly walked towards Zhao Hai and the others. Zheng Li also followed him. When Zhao Hai and the others saw Ma Rulong, they immediately gave him a salute.
Ma Rulong waved his hand, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why did you come back so late? Is the transmission formation not broken? "
Zhao Hai stared for a moment before he said, "It's not broken. We saw the white light when the transmission formation was activated. But this time, the competition will last for seven days. We waited in the wormhole until the time was up."
Ma Rulong stared, then he felt dizzy. After some time, he said, "You mean to say that you saw the white light when the transmission formation was activated, but you waited until the time was up?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, it wasn't time yet. What if they didn't calculate our results? So we waited there and came back when the time was up. "
Ma Rulong stared at Zhao Hai. Then Zheng Li suddenly said, "Zhao Hai, didn't you encounter the insect tide down there?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "We've met them. We've been fighting while waiting for them." When Zhao Hai heard Zheng Li ask if they encountered the insect tide, he knew that the higher-ups already knew about the insect tide. At this time, Zhao Hai also understood why the transmission formation was activated in advance.
When Ma Rulong heard Zhao Hai, he sighed and said, "Those kids also couldn't come back because they were waiting?"
Zhao Hai knew who Ma Rulong was talking about. He didn't intend to hide it, so he shook his head and said, "No, when we teleported down, we were besieged by insects. I took our brothers away and then turned around to save them. But who would've thought that Streep would say that we stole their insects. Moreover, they even joined forces with Li Chuchen to kill me. In the end, they were all killed by me. Leader, is this considered a crime?"
Ma Rulong and Zheng Li stared blankly at Zhao Hai. Then Ma Rulong turned his head to the others. Ma Rulong said, "You're saying that besides you, everyone else was killed by you? What about Li Chuchen? What happened to Li Chuchen? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I killed him. Ever since I blocked his three swords in the Machine Field, he held a grudge against me. Before the elimination round, he gave Streep a jade talisman. He told Streep to delay me and send him a message so that he could kill me. Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough and was killed by me." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai's words were understated. However, Ma Rulong and Zheng Li couldn't help but stare. Li Chuchen was one of the top ten experts of the Cultivation Realm. Zhao Hai actually killed him and even said that Li Chuchen wasn't strong enough. These words sounded very strange.
Ma Rulong turned his head to look at Xiong Li and the others. Then his eyes stopped at Lu Dingtian. He looked at Lu Dingtian and said, "Lu Dingtian, do you think that Zhao Hai is telling the truth? Did he really kill Li Chuchen?"
Ma Rulong had a good understanding of the participants. He knew that Lu Dingtian was a man of few words. However, he wouldn't lie. To be exact, he wouldn't lie. Because of this, Ma Rulong asked Lu Dingtian.
Lu Dingtian nodded and said, "Yes." He only said one word and didn't say anything else. However, Ma Rulong understood what Lu Dingtian meant. What Lu Dingtian meant was that what Zhao Hai said was true.
Not only did Ma Rulong not get angry, he actually laughed and said, "Good, good. Zhao Hai, good. But how are your results this time?" This was what Ma Rulong was most concerned about. He already knew that the people from the other realms were rescued by the base. This time, the losses of the other realms weren't small. Moreover, because of the Insect Tide, the results of the other realms weren't very good. During the Insect Tide, even if you killed the insects, you wouldn't have time to collect the spoils of war. Therefore, the results of the other realms could be imagined.
Ma Rulong had already calculated that there were only about three hundred people from the other realms who came back this time. It seemed that there were less than three hundred people. They had lost nearly one level. The Cultivation World had lost the most people. This time, the Cultivation World had lost more than ten people, which was the highest number of people in the history of the world.
Although the Cultivation Realm lost the most people in the elimination round, Ma Rulong was still worried. There were more than 300 people. If Zhao Hai and the others didn't do well, then they wouldn't be qualified to participate in the ranking competition. Because of this, Ma Rulong stared at Zhao Hai. He was afraid that Zhao Hai would say that their results weren't good.
Zhao Hai looked at Ma Rulong and smiled faintly, "Leader, you can rest assured. Getting into the top 100 isn't a problem." When Ma Rulong heard Zhao Hai, he relaxed. Then he turned to Xiong Li and the others and said, "What about you? It doesn't matter if your results aren't good. You should be able to enter the top 300. This is already history. "
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "Leader, you misunderstood. I'm saying that all of us can enter the top 100, not just me."
Ma Rulong stared, then his eyes turned round. He looked at Zhao Hai and didn't say anything for some time. It wasn't until Zheng Li coughed that Ma Rulong reacted. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Is what you said true? Can you really enter the top 100? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It should be. Our harvest this time wasn't small. We also exterminated an eight-legged worm tribe. Although we couldn't retrieve the Mother Nest, we still killed all the eight-legged worms in the tribe. Then we divided the spoils. Therefore, entering the top 100 shouldn't be a problem."
Ma Rulong immediately asked, "How many eight-legged worms are there in that tribe?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "There should be several tens of thousands of them."
Ma Rulong let out a long breath, then he nodded and said, "Alright, that's good. Go back and rest first. Later on, someone will come and record your results. Captain Zheng Li, can you take a look at the results of the other realms? Can you let us know what's going on? "
Actually, Ma Rulong already knew about the results of the other realms. The Machine Field also had its own intelligence network. But in order to not be exposed, Ma Rulong said this. He knew that as long as Zhao Hai and the others can take out 10 thousand eight-legged worms, they should be able to enter the top 100.
Naturally, Zheng Li didn't decline. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden. So he nodded and said, "Alright, then please come with me."
