Chapter 138: Treasure Hunt Competition Begins

In the past few days, the knockout rounds have gradually come to an end.

After the Chinese team's qualification spot in the knockout round was confirmed, everyone was preparing for the second round of the [Treasure Hunt].

The appearance of Luo Chen immediately sounded the alarm in the hearts of all the powerful teams in the world.

The coaches from various countries basically don’t even know the specific strengths of each member of the Chinese team.

In their view, this treasure hunt is the key for them to find out the strength of other members of the Huaxia National Government Team.

As for Luo Chen...

If you meet him, hide as far away as you can...

Luo Chen is fighting against an entire team alone. Even if the teams of these powerful countries are combined, they may not have the confidence to completely defeat Luo Chen.

On the contrary, when facing Luo Chen, he may have to try his best, and all his cards will be revealed before the final.

You can't win by fighting, and your strength will be exposed, so it's better to just go around.

Even if we lose a game, it's worth it as we can test the strength of other members of the Huaxia National Team.

Luo Chen basically didn't care about this. They were all just one-trick ponies anyway, so there was nothing to be prepared for or worry about.

In the free time before the treasure hunt, Luo Chen basically spent all his time being affectionate with Mu Ningxue, and cultivating relationships with Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu.

........................

Late night
"After the National Government, I will never return to the Imperial Capital again."

"What's wrong? Who in the Mu family bullied you? Tell me."

"No one dares to bully me. But according to the agreement between me and the Mu family, as long as we win the championship in the National Palace Tournament, I will have nothing to do with the Imperial Capital Mu family!
By then, I will apply to Teikyo University for early graduation, and then there will be no need for me to return to Teikyo."

"That's good too. It saves us from being so far apart from each other and making it like a long-distance relationship."

Luo Chen hugged the girl tightly in his arms, but he did not stop his movements, which made the blush on Mu Ningxue's face difficult to fade away.

"Well, the night is short...it's still early before dawn..."

"No, we have to get up early for training tomorrow, be gentle..."

After the intermission, there was a melodious sound of a nightingale chirping in the room...

..............................

On the opening day of the treasure hunt competition, the whole world received a big news.

The international dark master Essendel has been found guilty, and the Holy Court will arrest and kill him without retrial!

Luo Chen didn't have any feelings about this.

Although the news that the International Dark Master was found guilty was explosive, it only delayed the normal progress of the World Academy Competition by two days.

Two days later, the treasure hunt was held as scheduled.

Except for the sixteen eliminated countries, the treasure hunt will be held simultaneously by the remaining sixteen powerful countries remaining in Venice.

The gathering place for the treasure hunting competition is in the original opening venue. Different from the previous venue layout, today's venue is filled with many magic stones blooming with silver luster.

Everyone came to a teleportation array, and the treasure hunting competition was in another space.

"Space Magic Array, it seems that we are going to be teleported directly to the treasure hunting place!" Ai Jiangtu said.

"With such a large space magic array, we have to be sent somewhere. Isn't it the edge of a certain world?" Zhao Manyan stared.

"Let me explain the rules." The chief referee stood up and read out in standard international language: "A total of 160 students from 16 countries will enter the treasure hunting space in a random order."

"Everyone's destination is different. Since the place chosen for the competition is a dangerous and demonic place, you need to be extra careful when searching for treasures." "Don't lose your life because of greed."

"That one in your hands is a spatial scroll. If you are in danger of losing your life, immediately pour your magic energy into the scroll. It will activate in about four seconds."

..............................

"4 seconds? What kind of rubbish scroll? If a real mage was in danger, he would have died in 4 seconds."

Luo Chen looked at the scroll in front of him and couldn't help but complain.

Before Luo Chen achieved financial freedom after clearing the Yangtze River, his finances were supported by selling scrolls for a long time.

Although most of the scrolls sold are low-end, they are large in quantity, environmentally friendly and practical.

The scroll technology sold by Luo Chen has been processed and improved by Gray Wolf, and can basically be started in seconds with no delay.

"Oh my god, Luo Ge, does your family have a mine? You even look down on this kind of space scroll?

This thing is a life-saving item, the kind that money can’t buy. If it weren’t for the competition, I would have wanted to hide this thing as a life-saving trump card.”

Zhao Manyan couldn't help but sigh.

Luo Chen's mouth twitched, but he didn't respond.

To some extent, what Zhao Manyan said was true. Luo Chen now not only had mines, but also mountains and lakes.

After all, the area controlled by the Yangtze River demon is far more than the waters of the Yangtze River. It can even control a certain area near the waters.

Luo Chen shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his mind, then took out a few scrolls from his arms and distributed them to the members of the National Government team present.

"These are positioning scrolls. Take them carefully and don't let others snatch them away. They will remind you of the location of your other companions."

"Orange, what about you?"

“Needless to say, with the captain’s strength, does he still need a positioning scroll?

On the contrary, if the positioning scroll of one of us is snatched away by others, the captain's position will be exposed.

Even if we are all eliminated, we cannot let them know the captain's location, lest the captain be ganged up on by everyone."

"That's true..."

………………

After getting ready, Luo Chen was the first to enter the formation, and soon felt that the surrounding space was distorted.

“Buzz~~~~~”

With a tremor, Luo Chen, who was still in everyone's sight a second ago, suddenly disappeared in the texture of space in just a blink of an eye.
Luo Chen opened his eyes, and what came into view was the gray and turbid sky with a strange twist. It looked like a huge dark oil painting printed above his head.

The land is rugged and rugged, with inexplicably towering peaks, black forests stretching across the front, rivers flowing countercurrently, and long valleys where heartbeats and screams are constantly coming from...

Although this environment has mountains, water and sky, it feels like some illogical painter randomly put these scenes together in one place, which is very different from the visual coherence of real nature!

Independent spaces all have an end. If I stand on a high place, I will be able to see the end of this independent world at a glance. And the organizers cannot choose an infinitely large area for the students to use as the venue for the treasure hunt. In that case, it will be difficult for them to ensure the safety of the students, let alone grasp what is happening inside.

"Babbling~~~~~~~!!!"

There were a few eagle cries in the sky above his head. Luo Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the pupil eagle hovering at an altitude of 100 meters above him.

“That’s the drone with the camera??”

Luo Chen raised his head and smiled elegantly at the eagle-eyed creature.
