My tractor's taking on water-what do I do? Waiting online!

Stirring up storms is Flood Dragon's talent, and most importantly, it doesn't waste much of the True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord's spiritual power.

In the sea, the True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord can stir up huge waves with just a thought. A single command can unleash a small tsunami of considerable scale.

"Insidious!" True Lord Dustfall laughed and cursed.

"Dustfall, you flatter me. This is called tactics, making good use of the terrain advantage." True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord Jiao Ba laughed heartily, "The big wave may only affect the Daoists behind for a moment."

But sometimes... the difference between champion and runner-up is just a fleeting moment!

He's determined to win this Hand Tractor Race!

Just as True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord was feeling smug, a melodious scream suddenly rang in his ears.

Then, a sword light enveloped a familiar hand-operated tractor, speeding forward and overtaking True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord in the blink of an eye.

Which fellow cultivator has fallen into the Lucky Trap this time?

Soon, True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord spotted the hand-operated tractor in the sword light: number 22, Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island.

Is it this girl again?

This must be the third time she's fallen into this "Lucky Trap" along the way, right? And so far in the competition, is she the only one constantly running into this "Lucky Trap"?

True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord was stunned for a moment.

Not only was True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord, but even True Lord Dustfall and Snow Wolf Cave Master behind him were equally dumbfounded.

Then, the three fellow Daoists raised their heads in unison, their bright eyes piercing through the clouds and staring at the chief referee, 'Venerable Spirit Butterfly', above the clouds.

Everyone knows that Venerable Spirit Butterfly adores his precious daughter. Venerable wouldn't be so shameless as to secretly help his daughter?

After all, having fallen for the 'Lucky Trap' three times in a row, the Lucky Trap has almost become Soft Feather's exclusive weapon.

"Don't look at me!" Venerable Spirit Butterfly was very perceptive. He shrugged and said, "The Sword Escape Lucky Trap was set up by Fellow Daoist Bai. I don't even know where Fellow Daoist Bai set it up."

In other words, this little girl Soft Feather is truly incredibly lucky.

"Even the strongest can be no match for incredible luck." True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord sighed, then roared again, "Let's go wild!"

Another huge wave surged up, but this time it didn't crash down on the fellow Daoist. Instead, it propelled True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord forward, making his tractor even faster!

***************************

As each of the veterans drove to the seaside, activated the Water-Avoidance Formation, and plunged into the sea, the competition entered its most exciting phase.

From the moment they entered the sea, the number of traps also increased.

Unexpectedly, mines and torpedoes would suddenly emerge from the seabed, causing the contestants to cry out in pain.

The trap of "Spiral Ascension in Place" appeared several times. This trap was no longer unique to Song Shuhang.

Moreover, several senior players also received the benefit of 'Spirit Butterfly Sixtyfold Acceleration'.

The leading contestants even spotted a lightning-filled area on the sea, with countless bolts of lightning constantly striking it... Whether they could cross that area depended entirely on their individual driving skills.

Whether you're a racing god or a slacker depends on whether you can pass the test of that lightning-prone area.

Song Shuhang finally drove to the seaside.

Before going into the sea, he asked, "Is the Water-Avoidance Formation activated?"

"[Absolutely.]" the Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System responded.

"Alright, let's go!" Song Shuhang took a deep breath... Soon, he would be driving his hand tractor, braving the raging wind and rain, charging through the waves!

The hand-held tractor sped up and plunged into the water with a roar.

He used his "Lightness Skill: Water Treading" technique to cover a distance of over 100 meters in one breath.

Huh?

Eh?

Is something wrong?

I feel like my 'line of sight' is getting lower and lower...

Is the hand-held tractor sinking?

Although the hand-held tractor still felt like it was 'driving on solid ground,' the Water-Avoidance Formation must have worked. However, the hand-held tractor was definitely sinking!

"Is the Water-Avoidance Formation activated?" Song Shuhang asked loudly again.

At the same time, he immediately braked, stopping the tractor from moving forward.

But that damn three-second delay means he won't be able to brake for three seconds. By then, at the current speed of the hand tractor, it will have already traveled a long distance.

"Agreed," the Super Phoenix Slayer System replied.

"Then why are we sinking?!" Song Shuhang shouted angrily.

As he spoke, only his head was still above the water. Fortunately, this was Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body, so even if he didn't breathe for a whole day, it wouldn't affect his health.

Moreover, a circular protective layer automatically deploys around the hand-held tractor, protecting the entire tractor and preventing seawater from entering.

[Self-test system is starting, please wait...]

[Warning, problem detected. The Water-Avoidance Formation has been severely damaged... The Water-Avoidance Formation remains activated; the current water-repelling area covers 20% of the vehicle body.]

In other words, the Water-Avoidance Formation is damaged... Although it's still working, most of its functions are disabled. Therefore, the tractor can still feel like it's 'driving on solid ground,' but it's also slowly sinking.

As they were speaking, the entire vehicle, encased in protective shields, sank into the water.

The tractor is still steadily sinking.

The 'Phoenix Slayer System' transmitted an image showing the location of the damage to the Water-Avoidance Formation. It was a point of damage located on the chassis of a tractor.

Song Shuhang couldn't recall when the place had been damaged. Perhaps it was hit by the Eastern Fairy when she was traveling against the flow, or perhaps it was affected by the explosion and disintegration of Azure Firmament Sword Lord's or True Lord White Crane's tractor.

In any case, his Water-Avoidance Formation was broken.

Song Shuhang: "Holy crap..."

What will he do then? Will he have to compete underwater?

He didn't have that ability; when he was underwater, he would constantly deplete the 'protective shield' energy of the hand tractor.

Once the energy is depleted and the shield disappears, the hand-held tractor will be destroyed by the immense pressure from the seabed.

"Can it be repaired?" Song Shuhang asked.

"[Yes.]" the Phoenix Slayer Armor System replied.

"Then fix it quickly!" Song Shuhang shouted.

[...]

[Shouldn't it be you, the Phoenix Slayer Master, who should be responsible for the repairs?]

Song Shuhang: "..."

Damn it, if I knew how to repair this Water-Avoidance Formation, would I need to be in this mess?

What to do? What to do?

Suddenly, Song Shuhang had a flash of inspiration and said, "By the way, can you access the internet?"

[Absolutely.]

"Quickly help me log into the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'!" Song Shuhang shouted.

Although many senior members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group are participating in the 'Hand-held Tractor' competition, there are still many senior members who haven't come yet.

If someone is online, that's the best way to call for help. If the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group can't offer a solution, Song Shuhang will have no choice but to abandon the vehicle and flee for his life.

[Please wait... Network is connecting...]

Soon, the login window for the chat software appeared on the tablet screen.

Song Shuhang was about to log into his own account, but the tablet screen automatically logged into the account of 'Young Master Phoenix Slayer'.

Okay, I don't care about the account anymore.

Song Shuhang interacted with the chat window and began typing a message.

In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

The group chat was buzzing with activity as some of the more experienced participants who hadn't competed in the 'Hand Tractor Race' chatted about it.

Moreover, most of them were senior members of the group that Song Shuhang had never met before.

Fairy Flowing Firefly: "Hahaha, True Lord White Crane got blown up! How interesting, I wish I had participated in this competition too."

Dongfang Jingxue: "I feel that Doudou's song 'The Song of the Yellow Mountain Big Fool' was the real love song. It was so funny~~"

[System message notification: (******) Dongfang Jingxue has been banned from speaking by the group owner True Lord Yellow Mountain for 1 day.]

The True Lord Yellow Mountain is spying on us! How terrifying!

The fellow cultivators immediately and tacitly changed the subject...

Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "Hehe, I'll be waiting for them at the finish line of this competition. Moreover, with the assistance of Senior White and Senior Spirit Butterfly, I've set up a huge talisman array to welcome fellow Daoists."

Tiantian Island Lord: "I love seeing that Big Macaque court death, it's a pity that Fellow Daoist Creation and Big Macaque Northern River's Loose Cultivator didn't manage to kill it before."

Vice Island Master Tian Tian: "Brother, that's Senior Brother Three Waves! I'm ignoring you!"

Tiantian Island Lord: "..." I know this guy is Three Waves, that's why I enjoy watching him court death!

"Oh my god, this is hilarious! Just now, that silly demon, Phoenix Slayer, sank when it sailed out to sea. Hahaha, it sank... Oh no, my stomach hurts so much!" Yang Xian of the Heavenly Mansion Artifact Sect posted several pictures of himself laughing heartily.

Just then, Fairy Lychee suddenly appeared. "At this moment, you should post this picture. [Senior White's smiling emoji]"

The group chat fell silent.

Everyone knows that the meteor Shower incident happened because of Senior White Sticker Pack. How dare Fairy Lychee continue to Venerable White's meme!

A moment later, the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman, "To save face."

Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "Speaking of True Lord Fairy Lychee, I heard you delivered the Iron Trigram to the Medicine Master?"

"Yes, I just arrived at the Medicine Master. Medicine Master's treating Iron Trigram right now. Hehehe." Fairy Lychee was clearly in a great mood.

Because, as long as the Iron Trigram are there, the fortune teller will definitely come.

Just then, Song Shuhang successfully connected to the internet.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Seniors, I need help! My hand-held tractor is flooded, what should I do? I need help urgently!"

"Pfft, hahaha, Phoenix Slayer, we're watching the live stream, and we saw your car sink to the bottom of the sea. What happened? Pfft, hahaha!" Yang Xian of the Heavenly Mansion Artifact Sect laughed loudly.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "There's no time to explain! My 'Water-Avoidance Formation' is damaged, and I'm about to sink to the bottom of the sea. Please, seniors, give me a solution!"

"Today, Phoenix Slayer was unusually polite, even addressing everyone as 'senior.' By the way, the formation is broken, why don't you go down and fix it? It's just a Water-Avoidance Formation, it should only take a few seconds, right?" Fairy Lychee asked curiously.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "The problem is I don't know how to fix it... Isn't there any other way?"
