Dire Waters (15): Embarrassed

Every time the camera swept them, they all looked pale, sweaty, and pushed to the limit. They were not acting, but in their real state, even so, in the end, they could always continue to climb up and reach the finish line with pale faces and complete the whole process.
This comparison made Xia Ruize deeply doubt that whether he believed that he would complete the task was also an important factor affecting the final result.
A new day was approaching. Standing on the balcony of the guest room, Xia Ruize could see the scene beyond the starting line in the distance. It was the same forest and meadow as the first day. It looked better than the icebergs, glaciers, volcanic lava and so on the previous two days, it looked much friendlier.
But he did not relax in his heart. The so-called celebrations for three consecutive days became more and more difficult, and he did not know what difficulties were waiting for them today.
From one to eight o’clock, the familiar water flow swept down from the top of the city ramp, engulfing everyone in the water. The tourists were familiar with the road and tried their best to fix their bodies, and quickly climbed onto the planks.
Then, under the envious eyes of other tourists, the fifty-odd people who stayed in the treasure ship the previous night stepped directly into their own boat from the side of the treasure ship. They were not wet and very refreshing.
Among the tourists who came out of the treasure ship, the most striking ones were Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian.
They saw that the two took out a boat from their backpacks, and then took out another boat. The two boats were superimposed on top of each other and became a double-decker high-level boat.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian calmly stepped into the double-decker high-end boat and looked down at all the other tourists. Everyone could only look up at the two sitting tall, with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
The double-decker boat was more labor-saving. After the fireworks exploded, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were rowing hard, quickly rushed to the forefront, leaving only the high backs to the people behind.
Fireworks shooting into the sky reveal the theme of today’s celebration:
“2333 Zhuoyuan City Tourism Festival Celebrates the Fourth Day of Carnival: Racing Sailing!”
The word “racing” clearly revealed the key point of today’s task, which was to compare speed and who was faster.
After crossing the starting line, there was a quiet forest waterway, but unfortunately this calm was short-lived.
Xia Ruize’s intuition was not wrong. After the tourists rowed the boat across the starting line, they only enjoyed half an hour of quiet time, and it suddenly started to rain in the sky.
In just three seconds, the rain in the sky changed from sporadic raindrops to downpours, and within two minutes everyone was drenched.
Of course, there were lucky ones who were spared from this catastrophe.
At the critical moment, the top of the gem boat propped up a transparent barrier in time to block the rain.
Xia Ruize looked up and saw a steady stream of water flowing down the outside of the barrier above their heads, blocking their sight. Looking left and right, in the vast rain screen, even the two brothers, Da Hu and Xiao Hu, who were not a few meters away from them, could not be seen clearly.
“The line of sight is affected. Let´s try to get to the shore and go along the shore.”
Xia Ruize suddenly reminded Cheng Huaiqian, who was in control of the direction ahead.
He had “seen” that the waterway that was originally more than three meters wide was gradually widening, which was not a good thing for tourists who were basically blind now.
When rowing, it was very common to use uneven force on the left and right sides. Usually, this had no major impact. It was only necessary to adjust the sailing direction in time according to the direction of the river bank. However, when the surrounding markers couldn´t be clearly seen, unevenness was likely to cause the boat to gradually reverse course in the water.
In this situation where the line of sight was blocked and the waterway was widened, it would be funny if the direction was reversed and they rowed back to the starting line.
So, when Xia Ruize found that the waterway was starting to widen, he acted decisively and walked along the river bank. Although he would probably take a long detour, at least he would not lose his way.
Other tourists were not so keen. When someone found that the surrounding water was vast and didn´t know how to continue walking, they tried to find the river bank, only to find that the river bank that should be one or two meters away couldn’t be found no matter how they looked for it, they could only panic and row around in the wide water.
The downpour finally stopped after half an hour, but it wasn’t the end, because what followed was a fist-sized hailstorm.
Tourists who were drenched and gave up taking shelter from the rain in the end could not give up dodging hail. If they were hit by hail, they would get a bump. But if the head was hit, it would be light to see gold stars.
In desperation, the oars came in with a new use. Tourists in groups of two, one rowed the boat, and the other waved the oars overhead to hit the hail for themselves and their companions. Fortunately, the density of the hail was far less than the raindrops. They could still avoid the end a face covered in bumps.
There were also a small number of tourists who survived the heavy rain and also avoided the hail, but they dodged the hail in special ways.
At a certain moment when they were rowing the boat, the hailstones that had been thrown at them suddenly disappeared. After reacting, these tourists who escaped the hailstones were not happy, because behind them, the two word “starting line” appeared extraordinarily conspicuous.
The treasure ship in front and the ramp on the right side told them plainly that they had reversed direction for some reason and returned to the starting point…
What else could they do but turn the bow again and rush back into the hail zone? They were also desperate!
After being drenched in rain for half an hour and smashed by hail for half an hour, the tourists were numb to the fluttering snowflakes.
What was snow? It didn’t hurt or itch when it fell on the body, it was already very gentle!
Unfortunately, these people soon discovered that their conclusions were still too early, because they felt for themselves how their soaked clothes would wantonly snatch the heat from their bodies when they met the “gentle” ice and snow.
After shivering and rowing the boat through the goose feather snow for half an hour, knives began to fall in the sky!
Visitors: ……
Knives could be dropped, what else couldn’t be dropped? Even if they let the horses come over, they lose if they can stick to the end!
After cursing fiercely for a few words, the tourists had no choice but to continue to dodge.
This time, even Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had to move. The barrier of the gem boat could block wind, rain and snow, and even prevent hail, but it all consumed energy, and the biggest energy consumption was when preventing hail.
Now that a palm-sized knife began to fall from the sky, the sharp knife was stabbed down with the tip down, to stop them, the protective pressure on the barrier was much higher than that of preventing hail.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at the two low-level energy crystals that were quickly depleted of energy, and discussed it. In order to save energy, they decided to remove the ship’s barrier and rely on manpower to block the sword.
The only good news was probably that the frequency and density of the knives were relatively low, and it wasn´t too difficult for Cheng Huaiqian to block the knives.
“Oh, what kind of skill is it to use a knife? If you have the ability, you can crystallize energy!”
Cheng Huaiqian stood up, stood on the high-level double-decker boat, took out his big knife from his backpack, and moved his muscles and bones with great interest while saying harsh words.
In this mission world, apart from the minor conflicts between tourists, there had been no chance to show combat effectiveness, Cheng Huaiqian was suffocated, and he finally had the opportunity to move his body.
Xia Ruize was in charge of rowing, and his strength alone was enough to push the boat forward quickly.
After persisting for half an hour, the knives disappeared, and the sky began to rain again. Unlike the first torrential rain, the size of this rain could only be regarded as moderate rain, but the water in this rain was hot!
It was not hot, it was boiling!
The kind that could scald pork skin!
The sour feeling of alternating hot and cold made the poor tourists even miss the previous knife rain. After all, there was still a chance to hide from knives. In addition to the high-class boats with barriers, the vast majority of tourists with wooden boards had no place to hide from the scalding water and rain.
Being forced, someone simply jumped into the water and swam forward in the water against the wooden board. The water in the river was cool, and it could barely be regarded as a barrier.
Another half an hour later, a thumb-sized stone with sparks began to fall from the sky. At this time, the sky was really beautiful. The stones left a dazzling red line of fire in the air, and a bright stone rain attracted the attention of the people.
But soon, they discovered the huge murderous intention hidden behind this beautiful scenery.
Hailstorms would hurt people at most. Although knives would hurt people a lot, the density of knives was low. As long as you paid more attention to the sky while rowing, there was still time and opportunity to avoid the knives.
But now the stones were different. The density was higher than that of hail. If it fell on people, it would cause burns and pain. What’s even worse was that if it fell on the wooden boat, even if it could bounce off in time, a small black mark would fall on the wooden board. If it failed to bounce off in time, the stone could easily burn a small black hole on the wooden board.
Not to mention that many people got into the water to swim against the wooden board in order to avoid the hot water. Before they could react, the wooden board had been burned with several holes by the stones.
How long could a boat full of holes last on the water?
Tourists, aware of the seriousness of the crisis, had to focus more on defending against the stones, lest their plank boats be burned into holes.
Tourists were either sitting on the boat, not paying attention to paddling forward, focusing on rotating the wooden oars so that the air was tight, knocking the falling stones into other places, or dragging the wooden board into the water vertically, and people also hide under the water, counting the seconds to wait for the end of the stone rain.
It was hard to survive the stone rain, followed by a dense rain of arrows. Arrows pointing downwards kept falling. Under the acceleration of gravity, it was a great threat to tourists.
In this way, ice and fire and sharp weapons appeared alternately for half an hour, hindering the progress of tourists.
While quickly eliminating the tourists, it tortured the surviving tourists to the point of being miserable. What’s worse was that today’s waterway was unusually long. It took Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian more than six hours to see the island with the treasure chest.
During this period, the Ice and Fire Sword and Arrow took turns to appear in two rounds.
“Haha, dear viewers, it’s not a surprise. Our old friends Mr. Cheng and Mr. Xia were the first to arrive here, but they don´t look very good.”
The host’s voice sounded, with a bit of ridicule.
Xia Ruize raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at Cheng Huaiqian. He was indeed a little embarrassed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
