Glasses Guy and the others were going insane. No, they were already insane!
What kind of cursed slippers were these? Their hands wouldn’t obey!
It was like they’d eaten Xu Mai chewing gum. They literally couldn’t stop!
They couldn’t even shake them off, and there was no road ahead!
[Resentment from Glasses Guy +1000!]
[Resentment from Du Yue…]
[Resentment from Yu Qingqing…]
In his panic, Glasses Guy had a flash of genius. He dropped his legs to act as brakes!
He ploughed two deep furrows into the ground, but it still didn’t slow him down. His hands were paddling way too fast!
He tried several times to stand up. Once his hands left the ground, the “virus” would shut off!
But his legs simply couldn’t keep up with his hands!
Every time he tried to stand, his hands shot forward first!
Under Zhong Yingxue and the others’ horrified gazes, Glasses Guy handstand-charged straight into the lake!
He lay flat on the water surface, hands spinning like propellers, spraying water dozens of metres high!
The man shot forward like a speedboat, terrifyingly fast!
*Glug glug glug~ cough cough! Chug chug chug~*
[Resentment from Glasses Guy +1000!]
Not just Glasses Guy. All the handstand-runners, filled with burning resentment, turned into speedboats and rocketed across the water!
Up front: true water-walking lightness skill!
Behind: speedboat sprint across the surface!
Wherever they went, water exploded into the air, leaving trails of rainbows!
The resentment values completely maxed out!
The scene… yikes~
Zhong Yingxue and the others were dumbfounded!
What the hell was happening? The bunch that just shot past… were those really humans?
Just then, Jiang Nan came humming a little tune out of the forest!
Then he saw Qin Shou, Glasses Guy and the rest rocketing across the water!
His eyeballs nearly popped out!
Today really was full of surprises. So the super-speed slippers were amphibious?
Awesome!
Water-walking lightness skill? Jiang Nan couldn’t help looking eager to try!
“Xuexue, Wolfie! Xiong Da, Xiong Er! Get in the woks and sit tight!”
The three humans and one bear were still in a daze, but they obediently sat down in the iron woks!
Jiang Nan flicked out two void chains and tied them to the wok handles!
Amid screams of shock, Jiang Nan pulled two iron woks across the water!
The woks skipped across the surface like stones!
Xia Yao’s pretty face was flushed with excitement. “Yay~ iron wok surfing? This is way too thrilling! Haha!”
Zhong Yingxue clung to the wok for dear life!
(๑˃᷄﹏˂᷅) She didn’t dare open her eyes!
On the shore, the white-furred gorilla grinned and waved wildly at everyone, clearly saying goodbye!
Xiong Er: ヾ(◍°㉨°◍)ﾉﾞ
He waved back at his gorilla little brothers too!
Jiang Nan went faster and faster!
Running across water felt amazing!
Completely different from land!
Wait!
The super-speed slippers only stop when the soles wear through, right?
On land there was still a chance to grind them down, but in water? Even if your feet swelled up, the soles wouldn’t wear!
Mummy!
I think I just created a bunch of perpetual-motion machines again!
Jiang Nan’s little face instantly went pale!
What now?
This was too hasty!
He’d be fine himself, but what about Qin Shou and the others?
They’d run off who knows where!
Also, Thousand Island Lake! The lake was far more dangerous than the island!
“Eh, Xiao Nan? Why did your face go white? Is the lake water freezing your feet?”
“Stop already! Your feet will get frostbite if they stay cold too long. You’ll wet the bed tonight!”
Jiang Nan’s face looked like he was about to cry. I want to stop too, but conditions don’t allow it!
Right now all the volunteers and civilian warriors were frantically swimming!
Since they couldn’t stop, some were even planning to swim straight back to Apple Island base!
Seeing Jiang Nan pulling two iron woks across the water, everyone was speechless!
As expected! No matter when, Jiang Nan was always this flashy!
The fleet of human speedboats rocketed towards Apple Island. They suddenly felt the spiritual energy in the lake surge!
They were puzzled. What was happening now?
Just then Xia Yao wrinkled her nose, face changing drastically. “Xiao Nan! Bad news! There’s…”
“BOOM!”
Water exploded, white waves surged. A massive abyssal maw burst out of the lake!
Stinking wind and vicious fangs. One huge bite!
Qin Shou was running along. “Hm? Why did the sky go dark?”
*CRUNCH!*
The maw clamped shut! A nearly 30-metre-long dragon beast leapt from the water, then smashed back down!
Waves several metres high rose, swallowing Qin Shou whole!
Platinum three?
Everyone’s faces went white! They swam for their lives!
A platinum-three dragon beast? Are you kidding?
In the lake it was absolute king!
To everyone swimming right now, they were nothing more than bait!
Jiang Nan: !!!
He instantly let go of the woks! One teleport shot him high into the sky. He scanned the horizon!
A few nautical miles away he spotted a small island about 20 metres across!
He roared, “Everyone scatter! Seven o’clock direction, there’s a small island! Get out of the water first!”
With that he teleported and vanished!
Just when everyone wondered where Jiang Nan went, three seconds later!
Jiang Nan reappeared high in the sky holding a saliva-drenched, terrified Qin Shou!
He had literally yanked him out of the dragon beast’s throat!
The dragon beast’s mouth had a huge space inside, so teleporting in wasn’t a big issue!
“Get to the island first! Hold rocks and burn rubber in place! Keep going until the soles wear through, then you’ll stop!”
At that moment everyone charged for the little island!
When Xia Yao saw the danger, she jumped straight into the water, paddling like a little wolf to push the wok forward!
Wu Liang and Xiong Er paddled frantically too!
“Isn’t this the same dragon that swallowed our Wave-Rider back then?”
“It’s platinum three now? Growing even faster than Xiong Er? How?”
“Back when Thousand Island Lake was still silver-rank ruin, this thing was already golden! And why is spiritual energy swirling around it?”
The three humans and one bear looked at each other, faces filled with horror!
Did this thing swallow a spirit core fragment?
Right now Jiang Nan was spinning circles on the water. The dragon beast was hidden below. He couldn’t find it at all!
Meanwhile the volunteers and warriors were frantically swimming on the surface!
Faces pale with terror!
Some had already reached the island, holding rocks overhead, burning rubber in place like crazy!
Soles smoking white, sparks flying!
Some even head-butted each other while spinning, the handstanders head-butted walls!
Nobody knew what rock this island was made of. It was insanely hard!
But with so many people, the island shook! Bang bang bang! White smoke everywhere, sparks flying. From afar it looked like the island was on fire!
The whole island trembled! Ripples spread out in circles from the black island!
Just then!
A kilometre away! The dragon beast burst out again, *CRUNCH*, swallowing Tang Lulu!
Jiang Nan teleported and vanished!
Three seconds later he yanked Tang Lulu out too!
The dragon kept leaping, swallowing warriors!
Like a tiger shark hunting a school of sardines!
But without exception, Jiang Nan pulled every single one out. It didn’t even get a bite!
Dragon beast: (ꐦᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)
I’m just trying to eat dinner!
You can fish them out even after I’ve swallowed them?
Over a dozen times! Are you done?
Did I eat loneliness for dinner?
The most infuriating part? You pull them out, fine!
But you spit in my mouth while you’re at it!
I may not be human! But you’re a real dog!
The dragon beast lost it!
It leapt from the water, aimed carefully at Jiang Nan!
Opened its bloody maw and bit down hard!
Jiang Nan grinned!
“Water Release: Fire Hydrant Technique!”
A space wormhole snapped open in front of him!
One end in front of him, the other 500 metres below the lake surface!
Because of the immense water pressure at the bottom, the jet shooting out of the wormhole was insanely powerful!
It blasted straight into the dragon beast’s throat!
*Glug glug glug glug~ chug chug chug!*
Dragon beast: !!!
