Despite the Gale, the Laosan's speed was not affected at all; he ran like a cheetah through the rain.
The Laosan, Xuan Yu, Internal Energy Projection, emitting Yingying blue cesium halo that directly kept the rainwater out.
It's a pity that no one saw this scene except Ling Yi, otherwise, if it were posted online, wow!
The Laosan covered the 10-kilometer distance in just five minutes, but Laosan didn't see any of the runners.
The rain was so heavy that it severely impaired the Laosan's Perception and vision.
He found traces of the athletes' shelter, but after searching around the shelter, he still couldn't find the athletes.
Furthermore, the shelter for this group of athletes has been buried by the mudslide; could they be trapped underneath?
If that's the case, then it's troublesome.
[ Laosan, they're not here. They're in a tree about two kilometers west of you.]
Ling Yi couldn't help but remind him.
" Ling Yi?" Upon hearing Ling Yi's voice, the Laosan was overjoyed. Without thinking, he ran westward, releasing six enormous wild boars from his Summoning Space as he ran.
Finding someone is easy, but bringing them back is a big problem.
By releasing these six wild boars, it was clear that the Laosan wanted them to carry the contestant back to the shelter first, otherwise the round trip would take too much time.
The Laosan Keep Running ahead, while the six wild boars, like six tanks, grunted and snorted as they chased after Laosan.
Soon, the Laosan found the two girls shivering in a tree.
"Hiding in a tree? Isn't that just asking for death?" the Laosan couldn't help but complain.
If they were unlucky, these two would have been instantly Tribulation Transcendence. Didn't they even try?
Are you a rescue worker from the program?
"Oh no, wild boars! There are wild boars! We just had a pack of wolves, and now there's a pack of wild boars! Mozi, we need to perform a ritual!"
" Xiao Qiuqiu, didn't you always tell me that you didn't ask to be born in the same year and month, but you did ask to be born in the same year and month? Now your wish has come true."
"But this is so undignified! Waaah, a wild boar is coming! Hey you down there, run! Don't worry about us!"
"This wild boar is huge! Goodness, I doubt it can fit in this pot!"
" Mozi, are you serious? You're still thinking about food at a time like this?"
"My surname is a slip of the tongue, that's not important. What's important is... Wait, brother, how did you fly up here?"
The Laosan and Ling Yi were truly impressed by these two. Damn, they actually had the time to perform crosstalk at a time like this. That's incredibly Kung Fu Hustle.
Ling Yi was very familiar with these two girls; they were two top internet celebrities in his own world, the kind with millions of fans. In this world, they were still internet celebrities, only their names were different.
The Laosan, carrying one in each hand, placed them on the back of a wild boar the size of a calf amidst the two women's screams.
"My pet will take you to my shelter!" With that, the Laosan patted the wild boar on the head, and the boar turned around and ran straight towards the shelter.
The two women's screams were like a duet, rising and falling rhythmically, disappearing into the rain as they shrieked "Adede, adede," which sounded strangely comical.
[If you had teamed up with one of these two clowns from the start, it would have added a lot to the storyline.]
The Laosan chuckled and said, "His thought process is definitely Taiyi from normal people. Where are the other two groups of contestants?"
[Heading southwest, the other two groups met up, which saved a lot of time, and there was a surprise in store!]
The Laosan didn't say anything, his Ying Yi and he was already a hundred meters away, then he ran wildly towards the southwest.
When the Laosan found the other two groups of people under Ling Yi's guidance, he finally understood what Ling Yi meant by the surprise.
These four people, two men and two women, were trapped inside a cave by three tall, strong Houzi with golden fur all over their bodies.
"Is that a golden monkey? Why is it so tall? It must be almost two meters tall!" The Laosan was genuinely surprised.
Not only that, the three Houzi were carrying stone spears and wearing sheepskin skirts around their waists.
They are robust and upright, and when they walk, they don't look like Houzi at all; instead, they look like people wearing monkey fur.
It's important to know that Houzi rarely walk upright, and even when they do, they walk with a bent back and bowed legs, in a crooked and unsteady manner.
Inside the cave, two men are confronting three Houzi; one holds a multi-functional entrenching tool, and the other holds a machete.
These two are both relatively well-known stars in this world of the Laosan World. One is a specialist in playing villains, and the other is a specialist in playing tough guys. One knows a bit of martial Kung Fu Hustle, and the other knows a bit of Fighting. Neither of them is weak.
"What's going on with these three Houzi?" The Laosan didn't immediately step in to save the person, but instead asked Ling Yi curiously.
[This is the biggest secret of this deserted island. According to secret files I saw from the authorities, about six months ago, a meteorite landed on this yellow island.]
[And it landed right on the main peak in the middle of Huangdao. This meteorite seems to contain some special Element, an Element that has an effect on animal evolution and the development of Wisdom.]
[The nearby animals have all been affected, especially the Houzi, who have not only evolved to look more and more like humans, but have also developed Wisdom comparable to that of normal humans.]
In other words, under the influence of the meteorite, these Houzi evolved from Houzi into an Wisdom species in just six months.
"Isn't that a bit far-fetched? Are you really writing a novel back then?"
[It can only be said that this meteorite landing here was an accident, but also a gift from the universe.]
[However, this meteorite seems to be ineffective against humans, only affecting primates.]
[According to videos I saw from official sources, when these monkey-men were first discovered, they had already evolved into a small monkey-man tribe.]
They built simple wooden huts, set up camp, learned the meaning of fire, and learned how to preserve embers and cook food.
[They have even developed their own relatively complete language systems.]
The Laosan was truly shocked, muttering, " The Great Thousand World is indeed full of wonders."
Humanity is far too insignificant compared to the vastness of the universe; who knows how many secrets it still holds?
The Laosan nodded, then waved his hand, bringing the three monkey-men into the Summoning Space, but they were released again in the blink of an eye.
The two male celebrities, who were confronting the three monkey-men, only saw the three Houzi- men flicker before their eyes. They involuntarily rubbed their eyes. Was it a hallucination? Or were they seeing things?
But the next moment, the three monkey-men bared their teeth at the four people in the cave, then turned and left.
The Laosan did the same thing, giving the four of them three wild boars and telling them to ride them back to the shelter first.
As for how bewildered the three were, and how many questions they had, the Laosan was too lazy to explain further for the time being.
Once you become Summon creature in the Summoning Space, you can communicate with it.
However, even if the Laosan wanted to communicate with animals like wild boars and ordinary Houzi, it would be extremely difficult, and it would be completely impossible to have meaningful and extensive communication with them.
For example, you can give a regular Houzi simple commands like Fire Lighting, adding firewood, or chopping down trees, but you can't tell it to keep the Huoyan within a certain temperature range.
However, these three monkey-men could communicate with the Laosan just like normal humans. Although they couldn't understand each other's language, they had no problem communicating with each other's minds.
Through a simple exchange, the three Houzi told the Laosan everything they knew.
The three monkey-men came from the main peak. Due to official intervention, their monkey-man tribe was confined to a certain area, provided with food and better shelter, but not allowed to leave.
Officials are studying the meteorite, but according to the monkey-man, it's no longer of any use.
Previously, simply staying near meteorites would make them stronger and smarter, but two weeks ago, the meteorites turned into ordinary Shitou.
The Laosan guessed that the special Element inside had disappeared.
Nevertheless, the officials remained persistent, determined to find something out.
After all, evolution is a very fascinating topic. If it could be successful, wouldn't humanity usher in a new era?
In order to study the secrets of evolution, these officials have been constantly studying the components of meteorites and the blood and genes of monkey-humans.
But so far, there has been no progress.
As for why the meteorite wasn't taken away, one reason is that it was too large, and another is that the island is located on the border of the Ancient Country's sea area, and any significant disturbance would inevitably attract the attention of other countries.
It just so happens that the plan for Desert Island Survival reality show was discovered by the authorities, and through a series of behind-the-scenes maneuvers, this island became the "must-choose" island for hosting the Desert Island Survival show.
The purpose was to cover it up.
As it turns out, the cover-up was quite effective; at least other countries just treated the show as entertainment.
" Ling Yi, do you know what's going on? Can humans really uncover the secrets of evolution?" the Laosan asked Ling Yi in his mind.
[They won't be able to figure anything out. The Element in the meteorite aren't gone; they just have a limited lifespan. After a certain period, these special Element will completely lose their effectiveness.]
" Ling Yi, you should be able to get your hands on this Element, right?" the Laosan suddenly asked.
[ Laosan, abandon your dangerous ideas and think about Resident Evil!]
"That scary?"
[It might be even more terrifying than that. As I mentioned before, this Element only works on primates, not humans. As for why, go and find out for yourself!]
[Besides, it's not impossible for you to help humanity evolve. West City could happen with your daily login rewards; maybe you'll even get a real gene serum someday!]
The Laosan nodded, agreeing with Ling Yi's suggestion.
He had originally intended to visit the main peak, but after hearing Ling Yi's words, he abandoned the idea and decided to go back and diligently sign in to collect his rewards.
It was half an hour later when the Laosan returned to the shelter.
The people in the shelter cheered when they saw that the Laosan had finally returned.
Bai Zhi pounced on the Laosan, making Laosan blush with embarrassment.
The Laosan thought he wouldn't have any feelings for a young girl, but his body, which was already as young as thirty, was starting to have its own "thoughts."
They quickly pulled the girl off, otherwise she would embarrass herself if things continued.
Ling Yi, whose consciousness had just returned, was about to initiate the fourth world search, but the system immediately poured cold water on his plans.
What does it mean that "the maximum number of worlds that can be bound is three"?
In other words, you need to finish the story of one Protagonist, completing a novel, before you can search for and bind to a new world.
My suggestion is to let the Laosan finish filming!
