Dude thought about it carefully, and replied earnestly: "It's almost half of the time. Although there are no difficulties that threaten our lives, it is still very hard to complete the daily tasks. I think the difficulty is medium."
As soon as the answer came out, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian knew it. To them, the difficulty of this mission world is just ordinary. It seems that the difficulty of missions in the Zhubo District is still within the controllable range.
However, their vigilance has not been completely let down. For example, in the last mission world, according to the normal trend, the first ten days may be life-threatening and low-difficulty missions, but the difficulty of the missions in the last five days will suddenly increase. On average, the mission difficulty Not low.
This world is fairly simple so far, but I'm not sure that nothing will happen in the end.
With the advantages of boats and strength, the boats of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, and the boats of Big Tiger and Little Tiger quickly stood out and ran to the front, leaving most of the tourists paddling behind.
Of course, they were the first to face the test. After half an hour, the waterway in front of them was no longer smooth, but inclined upwards. That is to say, they needed to row their boats to climb the slope.
Xia Ruize wiped the sweat off his head. The temperature outside the jewel boat was nearly 50 degrees, and it was about 35 degrees inside the jewel boat. It had dropped a lot, but it still made people feel hot.
He was only hot enough to sweat, and he was much happier than the big and small tigers who were dizzy and chest tight.
The first four people who arrived at the bottom of the ramp looked up, and as far as their eyes could see, they were all ramps slanting upwards, which made people dizzy.
The water flow in the slope-shaped channel is faster and the resistance is greater.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were well prepared, but in addition to the power of the boat itself, they also needed to paddle wildly with their hands and step on the pedals with their feet frantically, in order to keep going upwards against the impact of the water.
In this way, Dahu and Xiaohu couldn't keep up even if they wanted to follow Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, and they didn't dare to tell the people in front to wait for them. Watching the backs of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian become farther away.
"It is so difficult for us to climb this slope. I really don't know how many people will be eliminated today."
Xia Ruize complained feebly.
Cheng Huaiqian is happy to hear and see the increase in the difficulty of the task, but at this time, he just needs to go along with his lover's complaints.
It didn't take long before the plank army finally arrived at the bottom of the slope. Benefiting from the unique topography of the waterway, they could see far away when they raised their heads. They could even see Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian who were rowing at the forefront, and scattered behind them. scattered tourists.
The tourists who paddled the board were overjoyed. It seemed that there was not a big gap between them and the people in front of them today. After all, they could not even see the shadow of the first place two days ago.
But when they really started rowing up the slope, they realized why the distance between the people in front didn't seem very far away. Because climbing the slope is too difficult and tiring, when you stroke forward one meter, you have to be pushed backward by 0.8 meters by the current. Once you advance and retreat, it is almost equivalent to not moving at the same place.
More importantly, there is no rest on the slope. If you dare to stop and move forward, you will be washed down by the current.
It didn't take long for some tourists to paddle slowly due to exhaustion. As a result, not only their own boards slid down the slope, but also a series of people behind them were affected.
I was washed all the way to the starting point of the slope by the current, and all the hard work I put in for a long time was in vain.
After paddling up for three hours, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian finally turned over the slope and paddled to a smooth waterway. They couldn't help feeling relieved, stepped on a few feet at random to ensure that the boat would not back up, and then relaxed and rested.
Xia Ruize's body relaxed, and he fell forward, onto Cheng Huaiqian's back, leaning against his lover's back and closing his eyes, almost fell asleep.
Cheng Huaiqian took Xia Ruize's hand back, and softly comforted him:
"Thinking about the return journey, we can go all the way without rowing and relying on the current. Don't you feel a lot happier?"
"Ha." The corners of Xia Ruize's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded happily. Yes, the uphill was tiring, but the downhill was easy. He was looking forward to the return journey.
Of course, before returning, they still needed to find the small island carrying the treasure chest. After resting for ten minutes, the two continued to row forward.
As a result, the smooth waterway took only half an hour, and they saw the slope slanting upwards again. Although the distance of the slope was shorter this time, the head could be seen at a glance, but the slope was almost casting a shadow on Xia Ruize, and Xia Ruize fell head over heels On Cheng Huaiqian's back.
Cheng Huaiqian patted his lover reassuringly, and then replaced three of the ten low-level energy crystals on the gem ship with medium-level energy crystals, and two with high-level energy crystals.
Almost at the moment when the high-level energy crystal was replaced, the power of the jewel ship's autonomous advancement increased a lot, and it even began to climb on its own.
The jewel ship itself is powerful enough. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian can push the ship forward faster with only a small effort, let alone the two of them put in most of their strength. Moving forward in smooth water is fast.
Finally, after climbing the slope, the two saw the familiar small island at the end of their line of sight.
Xia Ruize turned his head and looked back, but he couldn't see the shadows of other ships at all, so he urged Cheng Huaiqian to remove the high-level energy crystals he put on earlier and replace them with low-level ones.
Apart from lottery, there is currently no other source of advanced energy crystallization, so it must be cherished and used.
Seeing that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were the first to appear on camera again, the host was no longer surprised. After all, the two had already established an advantage two days ago, and others couldn't interrupt their process of establishing an advantage, so naturally they could only watch. Watch them continue to lead the way.
"Welcome to two old friends we are familiar with, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Xia. Both of you have four chances to open treasure chests today. I wonder which treasure chests you two want to choose?"
The host asked enthusiastically, these two young people are strong and stable, and they meet their requirements, and he has great expectations for them.
Xia Ruize didn't directly say the number he chose this time, but asked instead: "Can't we take these rewards now? Can we only choose four boxes?"
The drone landed in front of Xia Ruize with a camera and microphone, and the host's meaningful voice came out:
"That's right, you can only choose four treasure chests, and you can't get them until you return to the starting line. Even if you climb up to the island and collect all the chests, it's useless."
"Okay." Xia Ruize returned with a little regret.
Today's shore looks like a volcano with magma constantly erupting. The temperature is so high that people can't stand on it at all. Xia Ruize originally thought that they had obtained an aircraft. It seemed a good choice to use the aircraft to get close to the treasure chest and put all the treasure chests in the backpack. , I didn't expect to be rejected by the host.
Putting aside this episode, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian quickly reported the numbers of the four treasure chests.
The first treasure chest contained ten advanced energy crystals, the second treasure chest contained a multifunctional shovel, the third treasure chest turned out to be a new boat, and the fourth treasure chest contained a portable medical kit.
Cheng Huaiqian felt slightly regretful, he still wanted to get the treasure ship rest voucher, among other things, it was so hot today, it would be very comfortable to go back and swim two laps in the cool swimming pool.
However, the two of them had already watched two episodes of the variety show. Knowing how rich the rewards were, they were the ones who got the four treasure boxes. They put away their regrets, walked around the island, and set off on their way back.
How painful it is when going uphill, how easy it is when going downhill.
After paddling to the slope closest to the island, the two of them paddled along the current and terrain without using paddles. In the process of going downhill, there is a faint wind blowing past. Although the wind is very hot, it is always wind.
Not long after descending the small slope, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian met Big Tiger and Little Tiger and several other groups of tourists in the gentle waterway. Their eyes were full of envy when they saw the two people heading towards Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian.
Thanks to the variety show, there are no tourists who don't know what Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian look like, and they are sure that they did not give up the mission halfway, so if there is no accident, the two will get the first place again today.
