Waiting until the big tigers and little tigers of the third group arrived, the people who arrived in the second group no longer delay, chose three treasure boxes, and obtained ten low-level energy crystals, a multi-functional sun visor and a boat that also saved it. Boat model in a glass ball.
However, neither the energy crystal nor the boat seemed to be as good as the ones drawn by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. The host congratulated him and expressed his regret for watching the excitement. Immediately, the second group of people who arrived looked at Xia Ruize The eyes of Cheng Huaiqian are not right.
Big Tiger and Little Tiger also realized from the host's reminder that the current draw is not the final result, so when the host shifted the topic to them, they rowed around the island while quickly reporting the two chosen ones. Treasure box number, and urged the host to open together.
"The two tourists are really impatient, okay, let's open the treasure chests No. 8 and No. 12 together and see what's inside?" After seeing the contents of the treasure chests, the host introduced happily: "Oh, not bad Oh, it is an SX type double boat known for its speed, and a one-night rest coupon for the treasure ship, congratulations!"
Big Tiger and Little Tiger listened casually, but couldn't tell which one was useful, but three rewards were better than two rewards, so they paddled harder, trying to overtake the second group of people in front of them.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian listened to a lot of information, and without further delay, they moved quickly. They have to strive to be the first to return to the starting point, otherwise the reward they draw might belong to someone else.
The return journey was downstream, even if the wooden oars were not rowed, the wooden boat would flow downstream along the current, not to mention that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian kept paddling vigorously, and a small wooden board was lifted into the air.
Compared with the exhaustion of energy, the more troublesome thing encountered during the return journey is actually the congestion of the waterway.
It is the same waterway that comes and goes, and the total width is only more than two meters, and it is also winding. Along the way, they encountered more and more people who were heading towards the island. At first, they met two people on a board, and later they encountered many people on a board.
Obviously, in order to save the time it took to practice two people climbing up the plank together, the drowning person who chose to go on the road alone regretted it when he rowed until he was exhausted.
In a group of two, you can take turns rowing, and you can take a rest when you are tired. But a person can only go on the road with a single plank. When he is tired, he can only try his best to rely on the water banks on both sides to keep himself from being washed back by the current.
But the shores on both sides are actually weak meadows, very unreliable, and the solo players were thrown into a panic.
When there were too many people encountered, the two-meter-wide waterway was not enough. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian needed to order the people on the opposite side to switch positions from time to time so that the two sides could pass by each other.
After Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian heard about the end point of this waterway, many people were willing to cooperate and make way for the purpose of rowing to the end point faster. Among other things, the treasure chest can be opened by rowing to the end point.
It took nearly two hours to come, and less than an hour to go back. The boards of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were the first to cross the starting line where the city and the dense forest meet.
Then they noticed that four platforms had risen in the center of the ramp on the right, and the treasure chests they had drawn were placed on them.
There was no water on the ramp at this time, and the traces that had been washed by the water were also dried and evaporated by the sun, leaving only empty stalls, everything seemed normal and weird.
"The reward is on the slope, can we go ashore?"
Xia Ruize was happy. Although it was cool to soak in the water in hot weather, it was not so refreshing to stay in the water all the time.
The two rowed to the shore and tried to climb up the east-west ramp. Sure enough, they successfully stood on the ground.
After vigorously kicking their legs and stomping their feet, the long legs that had been suffocated for a long time finally relaxed. After relaxing, the two dragged the board and paddle out of the water and walked up the slope with them.
In the existing pool of the original urban road beyond the starting line, there are still many tourists who fell into the water and soaked in the water holding the lamppost.
They have found that the weird thing is that they can't climb the ground. Even though there was no trace of water on the ramp, there seemed to be some barrier preventing them from going ashore, and they couldn't climb up anyway. So these people who fell into the water could only hug the lampposts and chat to pass the time.
When Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian first appeared, they thought they were two more people who had given up rowing. There were quite a few people like this, and they all gave up and floated back along the current because they were too tired after rowing for a while.
It wasn't until Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian climbed onto the shore that those who had nothing to do in the water were surprised and swam to the ramp, thinking they could get ashore.
At this time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had taken away their prizes from the small platform. Not surprisingly, the Baibao backpack is a space prop. After opening the backpack, the inside is folded in space. There is a cubic meter of storage space.
Ten advanced energy crystals and five lunch boxes were put in first.
Then Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian tried to open the glass cover of the boat model. As soon as the model left the glass cover, it immediately expanded and became a small boat more than two meters long and one meter wide. It looked more advanced than a wooden boat. how much.
In addition, two pairs of oars are also enlarged. The reason why they look stick-shaped is because they are multi-functional oars, suitable for various waterways.
When the two were researching the newly acquired boat, the bottom was still soaked in the water, and the person who fell into the water again tried to go ashore but failed to call for help to the two.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian put the gem boat into the glass cover again, then put it into the backpack, put the plank and paddle into the backpack, and walked down.
"Brother, how did you climb up? Why can't we climb up?"
"Yes, yes, we also want to climb up, and our skin is wrinkled in the water!"
"Brother, what did you hold in your hand just now? Where did it come from?"
…
Seeing Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian approaching, the dozen or so people who swam over immediately asked a lot of questions.
"We paddled to the end of the waterway with the plank, and then paddled back. This may be the reason. Anyway, we were able to go ashore."
Xia Ruize ignored other questions and only said his own guess.
As soon as the others heard that they had to paddle around in the water channel to get ashore, they immediately asked anxiously:
"How long will it take to go back and forth like this?"
This question really asked two people. They remembered that when they were approaching the starting line for more than ten minutes, they met someone who had rowed in the opposite direction for an hour. They had no idea how long it would take for others to go back and forth. .
"It takes four or five hours."
Xia Ruize replied with an uncertain tone.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and even if they set off now, they would not be able to return until the evening. Many people who fell into the water had bitter faces when they counted the time.
As soon as Xia Ruize's answer spread, those who fell into the water beyond the starting line were very distressed. Some people fished out planks and paddles from the water and tried to paddle, while some did not believe Xia Ruize's words and complained about staying behind. In place.
Until the second and third groups came back one after another and successfully landed, those who fell into the water reluctantly rowed across the starting line and entered the waterway.
But none of this had anything to do with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. After answering the question, the two of them quietly inquired about Zhuo Yuancheng's situation, then left the water's edge and climbed up the ramp to the top.
After walking through the flat section at the top of the ramp, they looked towards the other side of the ramp. The water flow came from that direction at the earliest time. At this time, there was only a road and quiet buildings left on the downhill slope, and there were no people. No water shadows either.
But when the two tried to continue walking, they found that they were just wasting effort in place, as if there was an inexplicable barrier blocking them from continuing to move forward, making them visible but unable to get close.
Thinking of the drowning person who was soaked in the water before and couldn't climb ashore, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian didn't force them, so they had to go back.
The two found a hotel in Banpo, climbed to the top floor through the elevator that was still running, sat on the edge of the building, took out the lunch box they got earlier, and looked at the starting point of the water flow below while eating, paying attention to the follow-up Condition.
As time went on, more and more people returned, but only the first ten groups of tourists were rewarded.
Among them, the tenth group of tourists did not seem to be the tenth group who arrived on the island, but they struggled to surpass the previous group of tourists during the return process, and were lucky to get the last gift.
Of course, the person who opened the treasure chest who arrived after him was not reconciled, and two groups of four fought on the ramp. At that time, there were not many people who could go ashore, and they were scattered everywhere. It took a long time before someone finally came to persuade them to fight.
The facts are as Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian guessed, only those who have crossed the waterway completely can go ashore, otherwise, they are all trapped in the water and cannot get out.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian felt that the lunch box in their hands was very delicious. After eating it, they felt warm all over, and the exhaustion from rowing all morning was gone. What's more important is that the food in the small lunch box is unexpectedly sufficient, and both of them are full with their large appetites.
The two of them just sat on the top of the building and observed, watching those who successfully landed wandering around, and finally found that there seemed to be only two roads left in the entire Zhuoyuan City, no, to be precise, it should be two "half roads".
The original east-west ramp only has the side close to the water, and the other side can only be seen but not approached.
The originally long north-south main road only has a small section below the ramp, and this small section still has a border. One side is a weird forest waterway, and the other side is blocked by an inexplicable barrier after a certain distance and continues to move forward.
There are many people and strength, and the people who went ashore quickly discovered that after leaving the water, there was only one slope left in their range of activities.
So many people focused on the hotel where Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were staying, and entered the hotel one after another trying to find a suitable room to rest.
But this hotel is not easy to live in. There is no one to open the room for them without the front desk. Someone tried to forcefully destroy the door of the room, but all failed. In the end, they found that only the corridor of the hotel can stay.
Quite a few people didn't care too much, and sat down on the carpet in the corridor, resting greedily.
