Chapter 630: Goodbye, Lin Sanjiu

Upon hearing the grand prize’s exclamation, all of them quickly rushed towards the front. When they reached the platform in the front row, only then did they realize their opponent had not crossed the sea and invaded their territory yet. Like them, the woman stopped at the first row of platforms in the white camp.

Both sides stared at each other from across the billowing sea for a long while. Eventually, the woman did not cross the sea. She turned and leaped to the next platform beside her. She kept moving from one platform to the other until she completely vanished from their sight.

They were clueless about why the woman did not initiate her assault. Was it because she was outnumbered? Was it because she was afraid of crossing the sea, or was it simply because she did not have the intention of coming to their side in the first place? Nobody could tell.

Maxin, Lin Sanjiu, and Ji Shanqing all stood on three different platforms in one line. As the woman vanished, they three heaved a long sigh of relief. Soulsqn was the only one left behind since her current body did not allow her to be agile and jump as swiftly as the other three.

“What’s going on?” The flesh worm’s voice pierced through the wind.

“She didn’t want to come here.” Since every platform was about a hundred meters apart, Lin Sanjiu had to shout loudly so that her comrades could hear her. “What do you guys think?”

“She isn’t daring enough to go against all of us by herself,” Ji Shanqing replied, “I think she’s a scout.”

“A scout?”

“Yes, to reconnoitre the area.” The grand prize looked at Maxin and gave him a courtesy smile. His long, half-damp hair flew out in disarray while his pale skin glowed under the sun and his lips were a bright cherry red. Coupled with the deep blue ocean as the background, he looked like a person who had walked out from a depiction done by a masterful artist.

“That way, they’ll be able to gain knowledge about the arrangement and the number of platforms. Although I can’t be sure, the arrangement of the platforms on their side should be similar to that on our side. I think we should follow her steps. What do you think, Brother Maxin? Am I right?”

There was no expression on Maxin’s face. He flashed the grand prize a surly glance before taking a deep breath. Then, he said, “Yeah, we should go around the platform on our side too.”

Hearing this, the grand prize shoved him a toothy grin, his rows of white teeth glistening brightly in the sun.

Like the white camp, they decided not to go in a group but send someone to scout the area. Even though Maxin still could not get over the fact that all of them had participated in frauding him, he had to admit that compared to Ji Shanqing and Soulsqn, Lin Sanjiu was the only one he could trust.

Lin Sanjiu accepted the given task without a murmur. Before she set out to scout the area, she looked at her grand prize and Maxin. She was worried. Although they were technically on the same side, there was no communication between the two guys. A dark cloud was looming in between them, and she could imagine how dense the atmosphere would become once she was gone.

However, there was nothing she could do. Human beings were the most selfish and short-sighted species. One man would make a decision at a time that benefited him the most, or so he thought, without thinking about the consequences. No one could control or foresee all of the consequences of an action. This was the barrier and limitation that no man, not even posthumans who had evolved, could overcome.

Even though she did not regret pulling Maxin into this mess, she did not favor such a difficult situation. Sighing, she set out to her right.

Even though the woman made it looks like all fun and games, it was more difficult than Lin Sanjiu had initially imagined, especially when she had to jump over a hundred meters and land precisely on a platform without a run-up. In other words, Lin Sanjiu had to jump more than ten times the distance of the world long-jump record so that she would not fall into the sea. Truth to be told, even posthumans had a hard time accomplishing this feat. It was all thanks to her superb physical strength and her occasional use of her Higher Consciousness that she was able to leap across five platforms in a row.

However, she still could not reach the end of the black camp.

Before her, a long line of neatly arranged platforms stretched forward into the horizon like a rank of soldiers. Sensing that she would not be able to complete her task at any time soon, a wave of fatigue welled from her insides and swept across her every cell from her head to her toe.

She was certain that she would run out of energy before she could even reach the end of the platform.

Whenever she leaped from one platform to another, the twisty yellow shadows in the sea would become very agitated, stirring and thrashing about in the ocean as if they were inviting Lin Sanjiu to join them in a rave party.

After she had jumped over five platforms and just as she was going for the sixth, her heart gave a little start.

Her legs felt sore, and perhaps it was due to this reason that she did not have enough force to propel her forward when she jumped. Even with Mrs. Manas’s help, she did not know whether she could pull this off or not. Instantly, she felt a surge of fear pumped through her body. She was in midair, and there was nothing she could do to fix her situation. Just when she thought she was doomed, she landed on the edge of the platform with a loud thud.

Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh. She realized that she had been holding her breath in all along.

However, her relief was short-lived. The moment the rock she was standing tilted, she realized the rock was not connected to the platform. However, it was too late as a small tilt was more than enough to cause her to lose her balance and fall straight into the ocean.

To make things worse, there was nothing for her to grasp on to regain her balance.

The yellow shadows in the sea were all pumped up. More and more shadows were gathering at the area Lin Sanjiu was falling into, dying the piece of the sea with their bright yellow color.

As Lin Sanjiu’s hairs bristled up, Mrs. Manas sent a torrential of Higher Consciousness towards the sea, attempting to create a thrusting force to push her back onto the platform. Nevertheless, the second her Higher Consciousness touched the sea, both Lin Sanjiu and Mrs. Manas realized that this was a bad move.

After all, those shadows did not have corporeal bodies.

A plenitude of yellow shadows splashed high into the air, forming two large water walls that surrounded Lin Sanjiu inside. The platform was so near yet so far away. Lin Sanjiu watched in despair as the waves imbued with yellow shadows engulfed her.

Something shouted excitedly inside her ears. Then, in the next second, she completely vanished into the sea below.
