Chapter 4440: Chapter 4438-resorting to force?

The sea fog could already greatly limit a cultivator’s perception, even blocking their divine sense. Now, with the combination of the two, and the huge black curtain covering it, the effect was even more unsolvable.
Therefore, at this time, the thirty-two ships in the sea were actually all closed and independent spaces. The participants could relax and boldly hide the sealed items without worrying about being peeked at by outsiders. Only in this way could the fairness of the competition be guaranteed.
The time it took to burn a joss stick wasn’t that long. As everyone waited, it quickly passed. The thirty-two contestants arrived in front of boundless sea one after another and lined up.
“Very good, everyone is very punctual.” After boundless sea finished counting, he laughed and turned to the people who were already in position.”Boss ‘robbers’, let’s start!”
Everyone burst into laughter. The “Bandit group” formed by the five escort agencies and the various Chamber of Commerces was immediately led by boundless sea to ship No. 1.
Looking at this scene, Qi Wenhan’s mouth couldn’t help but Twitch again. It was obvious that the order of inspection for the “Bandit group” was from one to the next. In other words, his own number 30 would be the third from the bottom.
At first glance, this didn’t seem like a big deal. It was just that the order was slightly lower, but in fact, the lower the ranking, the more disadvantageous it was!
Since the “bandits” were also searching for sealed goods on the ships, even if the models of the ships were different, the overall layout was similar. Every time the “bandits” searched an additional ship, their proficiency would definitely increase.
After the practice on the first twenty-nine ships, by the time they searched the thirtieth ship, they were already very clear about the places on the ship where the sealed items might be hidden. If they were hidden in similar positions, it would take the front group an incense’s time to find them. However, when they went to the back, they might be able to find them at a glance.
Because of Lin Yi’s amazing performance in the first two rounds, Qi Wenhan still had high hopes for Lin Yi, but after seeing this scene, his heart went cold.
“If we lose this round, we can only blame our bad luck.” Qi Wenhan smiled bitterly at Lin Yi. He had no choice, after all, he had drawn lot number thirty.
“Not necessarily. The biggest trick to hiding things is not coincidences but oddities. As long as it can surprise people, no matter how professional the person is, it will be useless.” Lin Yi smiled faintly.
“Oh?” Seeing Lin Yi’s confidence, Qi Wenhan’s spirit was lifted. He lowered his voice and asked,”Brother Ling, where are you hiding? why are you so confident?”
“Brother Qi, are you sure you want to hear it?” Lin Yi smiled as he looked around.
“Uh … Then forget it, we’ll talk about it in the future, in the future.” Only then did Qi Wenhan react. There were so many people present. No matter how soft he spoke, he would be heard by others. If his curiosity ruined the big event, it would be too late for him to regret it.
Time passed by slowly. The “bandits” started from ship No. 1 and searched all the way down. Each agency could last for a different amount of time, but there was a common trend. The lower the ranking of the agency, the shorter the time.
As for the places where the sealed goods were hidden, there were all kinds of places. They could be found on the cargo hold beam, on the deck floor, and on the top of the mast. In any case, whether it was something that ordinary people could think of or not, it could appear in any strange place on the ship.
Out of the 29 escort agencies, the one that hid the most was the four Seas escort agency that got the No. 3 boat. Of course, it also had the best result.
The group of “bandits” searched up and down. They almost dismantled the entire ship but could not find it. Most of them had given up. In the end, Qi Mingyuan did not give up. After much effort, he finally found the answer.
It turned out that this escort from the four Seas escort agency did not hide the sealed package in the corners of the ship like the other escorts. Instead, he took an alternative route. He dug a hole in a reef not far from the ship and stuffed the sealed package into it. At the same time, he did not forget to restore the reef to its original state …
If Qi Mingyuan had not heard someone say that it might have been thrown into the sea, he would not have been able to find it.
According to the rules of the competition, the sealed package couldn’t be thrown into the sea, but there was no restriction that said it could only be hidden on the boat and not in the reefs nearby, so this was completely feasible.
However, even with such a unique approach, the four Seas escort agency did not manage to get a full score in the end. Qi Mingyuan had a flash of inspiration and failed when it was about to fill three incense sticks ‘worth of time. In the end, it only took two incense sticks’ time to get 70 points!
Seeing this result, boundless sea gritted his teeth in anger. Everyone else had already given up. If it wasn’t for that bastard Qi Mingyuan, the four Seas escort agency would definitely have gotten a perfect score.
In the end, after Qi Mingyuan’s actions, not only did his points decrease by 30 points, but he also lost the chance to accept the challenge. With his clever plan of hiding the darts, he originally had a high chance of getting 200 points, but now it had been reduced to 70 points. No matter who it was, they would be furious.
“Just you wait. Your Qitian bodyguard agency won’t get a single point in this round of competition!” Boundless sea gritted his teeth in anger. With an unfriendly expression, he led everyone onto ship thirty. In his eyes, this was a small ship, and it was so far behind. No matter how well you hid, you’d be able to flip it over in the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
After the practice at the previous twenty-nine escort agencies, the “bandits” could be considered as experts in the area of finding escort items. As soon as they boarded the ship, they went to every corner where they could hide the escort items. Everyone had a clear division of labor and were much more skilled than before.
Seeing this, Qi Mingyuan couldn’t help but feel nervous. Of course, he was just putting on an act. He wouldn’t look for it seriously, but boundless sea and his group were so professional. Especially since the ship was surprisingly small, let alone him, even if ten of them were missing, the remaining people would be able to easily find the sealed package.
However, after everyone searched the entire place, they did not find the sealed treasure chest.
“Don’t tell me this guy is also hiding in the reef?” Everyone looked at each other. Although this idea was strange, if the four Seas escort agency could think of it, then the Qitian escort agency would naturally be able to think of it too.
“Hmph, it’s just a forced act, it’s not presentable!” Boundless sea snorted coldly. He suddenly sent out a powerful wave of true Qi, cutting the surrounding rocks in half. This way, it would be clear if there were any holes in the rocks. No matter how hard he tried to hide, it would be useless. (To be continued.) ”
