Sea of Death
A magnificent and enormous grandstand rose from the ground.
This grandstand, like a majestic and imposing behemoth, stands silently before the vast and boundless sea.
In front of the stands, a huge display screen, as large as the sky, is particularly eye-catching.
The screen is clearly divided into two smaller areas, each displaying a national team's entry number.
Clearly, this huge display screen is designed to ensure that everyone in the venue can clearly watch the live broadcast.
Those serial numbers are like guiding lights, leading people's attention to the fierce competition that is about to begin.
Above the stands, a huge live broadcasting device was erected high, like a giant steel arm reaching towards the sky.
These advanced devices are working tirelessly to transmit live broadcast signals to countries around the world, allowing global audiences to witness this breathtaking international event in real time.
The stands were already filled with team leaders and their entourages from various countries.
Some of them looked focused and full of anticipation; others wore smiles and were brimming with confidence.
In addition, leaders and officials in charge of organizing this international event were also seated in the stands.
There will also be specially invited observation teams from different countries and fields, who will witness this wonderful event together.
In front of the podium, on the wide beach, stood teams of athletes.
They stood tall and were full of energy; their vibrant spirit seemed to pierce the clouds.
James, the chairman of the competition Organizing Committee, stood on the stage in a very flamboyant manner, wearing a white suit.
He delivered a passionate speech to the athletes from various countries in the audience.
His voice was loud and powerful, full of passion and encouragement.
Although most people couldn't understand what he was saying, the presence of a translation device didn't prevent him from expressing himself freely.
Every word was like a flickering flame, igniting the fighting spirit in the contestants' hearts.
After he finished speaking, another host walked up gracefully with a microphone.
The host had a clear and pleasant voice, and she announced the rules of this competition in detail.
This highly anticipated global competition will last for ten days and is divided into three time periods.
The first time period is 1 day, during which teams from different countries bravely challenge the mysterious and dangerous Death Sea ahead.
You must land on the central island of the sea area within the specified time; otherwise, you will be considered eliminated.
In this challenging environment, the contestants will face countless unknown challenges. They will need to rely on their tenacious perseverance, excellent teamwork, and fearless courage to conquer this turbulent sea.
The second time period is also a day, during which the contestants will fight individually on the island, hunting down Mutant Beasts.
They must demonstrate their strength and wisdom in the harsh environment and arrive at the arena in the center of the island on time.
The total points earned by each team will determine the team rankings.
This is not only a contest of strength, but also a battle of wits.
The third time slot is also called "Tian," which is the peak showdown on the individual arena.
Each national team selects one contestant, and the top ten in the competition are determined here.
These athletes will represent the glory of their respective countries and showcase the highest level of athletic competition.
This competition offers generous rewards for both team and individual prizes.
Moreover, these rewards correspond to valuable strategic resources, which are of vital importance to the development of each country.
We hope all athletes will give their all, fight for the glory of our nation, and write their own glorious chapter on this challenging arena.
A vast and boundless mysterious sea.
This sea is full of endless knowledge and danger, and is inhabited by all kinds of powerful and terrifying marine Mutant Beasts.
Those Mutant Beasts are either as large as mountains or possess bizarre and unpredictable abilities, making it extremely difficult for anyone entering this sea area to survive.
Even though some powerful Martial Artists ventured into this sea area in groups to hunt sea monsters for precious resources and glory.
However, only one or two out of ten people were able to return alive.
Over time, this sea area came to be known in fear as the Sea of Death, becoming a terrifying place that people dreaded.
The sea area is too vast. Although more than two teams entered the sea area to challenge it, the vast space made it difficult for the teams to see each other.
It was as if every team was swallowed up by this mysterious sea, struggling alone amidst danger and uncertainty.
At this moment, Hua Qiang, leading nine team members, is sailing on the sea in a wooden fishing boat numbered 68.
I don't know what the Organizing Committee of this competition was thinking, but they arranged a fishing boat for every participating team.
Is this meant to send these contestants fishing and hunting?
It seems... the meaning is similar!
The ship's number is indeed very auspicious. The number "6" represents smooth sailing, while the number "8" symbolizes wealth. Everyone is very satisfied with this number, as if it can bring them good luck and peace.
The ship is 30 meters long and 10 meters wide. Its sturdy hull sways slightly in the sea breeze, while its huge sails, propelled by the wind, propel the vessel swiftly across the undulating waves.
Above this ship, a drone is silently hovering and filming, transmitting the footage to the outside world in real time.
Hua Qiang stood quietly at the bow of the ship, his eyes deep and indifferent.
He glanced around at the people behind him, and in the next moment, all their information appeared clearly in his mind.

"Ah, what kind of monster is that?"
A girl cried out in alarm, and then a dark mass of monsters appeared on the sea and rushed toward the wooden boat they were on.
