Chapter 6 Racing Competition
The participants brought their own native species to the starting line.
Li Xi glanced disdainfully at the rooster beside Wu Yu. In Li Xi's opinion, so what if its legs got longer?
As long as their hyenas can catch it, a single bite will eliminate the rooster.
Earth Online did not state that interfering with the opponent is not allowed during the match.
The match is about to begin. Countdown: 10, 9, 8...
[3, 2, 1, Go!]
At the command, all sorts of creatures shot off the starting line like arrows.
Leading the pack was Archer's bald eagle, which flew directly over the ground obstacles, taking the lead by a wide margin.
Following closely behind were several speed-type land animals: cheetahs, antelopes...
With the addition of the leg feature enhancement potion, Wu Yu's rooster, with its enhanced 70-meter-long legs and 7-point speed value, initially displayed impressive explosive power.
The rooster pushed off the ground with its claws, kicking up dust, and tucked its wings tightly to its sides to reduce drag. In no time, it was in the middle of the pack, easily overtaking animals like elephants that it had previously been unable to surpass.
However, just as the rooster was about to run forward, a dark shadow descended from above behind.
Floating in the air, Wu Yu could see clearly that it was the gorilla, the chosen species of the Monkey Kingdom, that threw the hyena, the chosen species of the Korean Kingdom, toward him.
It seems that Li Xi felt the hyena couldn't keep up with his rooster's speed and wanted to use the gorilla's strength to hinder him.
The hyena bared its teeth and claws in mid-air, lunging straight at the rooster's back!
"roar!!"
The hyena's eyes gleamed with ferocity, its sharp teeth aimed at the rooster's neck.
Seeing this, Li Xi waved his hands and couldn't help but whisper, "Bite! Bite! Bite!"
"Bite its neck!"
Viewers in Xia Guo's live stream directly said:
South Korea has actually teamed up with Monkey Country!
This is blatant interference!
[Su Wenming did this just because Wu Yu didn't help him answer the questions; this is deliberate revenge!]
[South Korea: Earth Online didn't say we can't interfere, what are you guys talking about?]
At the critical moment, the rooster seemed to have been alert all along.
The rooster suddenly turned to the side, its long legs drawing an arc on the ground, narrowly avoiding the hyena's attack.
"Bang!"
The hyena missed its target, and the impact created a sizable crater in the ground.
Having missed its first attack, the hyena shook its head, bursting with incredible speed, and stared intently at the rooster's rear end, attempting to "pull out its anus."
Seeing this from above, Li Xi's face darkened. "That chicken actually dodged it!"
Su Wenming, standing next to Li Xi, also looked grim. His gorilla was already slow, and with the actions he had just taken, it was now at the very end, only slightly faster than animals like the Komodo dragon.
Slower is fine. If it can really stop Wu Yu's rooster, then it's worth it. The key is that the hyena just failed.
As viewers in Xia Guo's live stream watched the hyena relentlessly chasing the rooster, their hearts couldn't help but pound with tension.
Sensing the hyenas relentlessly pursuing it, the rooster quickened its pace once more.
Wu Yu wasn't worried about the rooster being chased.
The race map changes every ten kilometers.
The first ten kilometers are grassland, and the eleventh to twentyth kilometers are mountainous terrain.
The mountainous terrain is littered with rocks, which is disadvantageous for hyenas that rely on speed to sprint in a straight line, but is suitable for roosters to use their long legs and light body to jump and maneuver.
Once they reach mountainous terrain, the hyena will naturally be left behind.
Li Xi clearly realized this as well, and commanded, "Speed up! Try to catch up with it before we enter the mountains!"
Upon receiving the command, the hyenas went completely unleashed, rapidly increasing their speed with a desperate attitude.
"Ten meters...nine meters...five meters...three meters..."
The distance was getting closer and closer, but the rooster seemed not to notice.
The viewers in the live stream were on the edge of their seats as the hyena's mouth was about to bite the rooster's rear end.
"Click!!"
A loud clanging sound of teeth clashing rang out.
The result Li Xi had anticipated did not occur; the hyena failed to bite the chicken's rear end, only managing to get a few black feathers stuck in its teeth.
Just as the hyena was about to bite, the rooster suddenly flapped its wings and leaped up, using its claws to push off the rocks and darted forward several meters.
The hyena only managed to bite a few hairs on its rump, and because it couldn't stop in time, it crashed headfirst into a rock on the edge of the mountain, and the feathers in its mouth fell out and drifted to the ground.
"waste!"
Li Xi was so angry in the air that his face turned pale, but by then they had entered mountainous terrain.
His hyena slowed considerably amidst the jagged rocks, and could only watch helplessly as the rooster's silhouette receded into the distance.
The chat in Xia Guo's live stream room was filled with the same two words.
[Awesome!!]
【...】
After shouting "Awesome!", the Chinese people immediately went to the Korean live stream and flooded the chat with comments.
Are chicken feathers tasty?
[I didn't even get the chicken, and I lost the game too....]
[You and the Monkey Kingdom teamed up and still couldn't stop them? That's hilarious!]
[South Korea: What's there to be so arrogant about!]
Of course we can be arrogant because we have the strength. If you're not satisfied, let your chosen hyenas win first place and show us.
......
In the game space.
Wu Yu looked down at the mountains below. Compared to the plains before, this ten-kilometer stretch of mountains was not only more complex in terms of terrain and filled with rocks, but also had a pendulum trap set up by Earth Online.
Huge stone hammers were randomly thrown out from the mountainside at extremely high speeds.
Not far away, on the mountainside, there was a pool of bloody mud. That was the mascot of a small African nation that had been hit by a stone hammer and was disqualified from the competition.
"call out!"
A huge stone hammer swept across the rooster's tail feathers, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The rooster nimbly bent down and rolled over, then got up and continued running wildly.
Seeing that the rooster was not in any danger, Wu Yu looked at the animals at the front.
The number one ranked species is the bald eagle of Archer, USA.
Following closely behind are land predators such as cheetahs, antelopes, brown bears, and lions.
Wu Yu's rooster ranked sixth, two kilometers away from the fifth-ranked lion.
Aside from antelopes, there should be other animals at the front of the pack, but within the first ten kilometers, zebras, takins, and other animals were directly killed by large carnivores such as lions and tigers.
If Wu Yu hadn't strengthened the rooster, his fate would have been the same as that of zebras, takins, and other animals.
Although the cheetah is fast, its speed has slowed down compared to when it started.
Cheetahs are speed-oriented animals but not endurance-oriented animals, as are lions; the further along the race goes, the slower these two animals will run.
This is also why they attack and kill animals like zebras. It doesn't matter if they lack stamina; they can just kill the animals that have stamina.
The racing competition also sparked excitement and participation among people from various countries.
[The rooster is actually sixth!]
[No prize awarded! Who do you guys think will win the speed race?]
[The US: It must be our country's bald eagle!]
[John: I think it's the lion of our country.]
[Russia: Your lion is already deflated, yet you're still dreaming of being number one.]
Look at the game! The rooster is catching up to the lion!
Griffin of the Kingdom of John also noticed the rooster following behind the lion.
