Only the roaring whir of the helicopter could be heard.
When Gu Qingjiu landed, all she felt was the sensation of her soles touching the ground.
A leaf slid across her face. It rained just two days ago in the tropical rainforest, so water droplets were still on the leaves.
The cold dew’s touch felt like a snake’s venom, making people incredibly uncomfortable.
The judging team’s calm voice came from the ear mic, stating that they should not remove the blindfolds since not all competitors have arrived.
Even if she could not see her surroundings, Gu Qingjiu could hear the sounds around her.
But the engine sounds were too loud.
The plane sneakily waited for all competitors to land before turning in another direction.
To prevent other competitors from determining others’ landing position based on the difference in time taken for the plane to return.
When Gu Qingjiu landed, she did not move, opting to hide at her original position quietly.
“Alright. All competitors are at their assigned positions. We’ve selected a tropical rainforest for this year’s international shooting competition. Other than your shooting skills, be guarded against the beasts of the rainforest. Tigers, pythons and hippopotamus all live around here. Any mishaps may endanger you. That’s why, other than the competition, you are to prioritise safety.”
“However, please remember that if you’re injured, if you do not send out the emergency flare, we will not stop your competition unless we’ve deemed you incapable of combat.”
“Also, I hope that all of you won’t be reckless. Perform within your capabilities.”
The main objective of the international competition was for the core members of each country to exchange hands.
Losing any of them would be a significant loss for their country.
This was why the committee emphasized that safety should be the priority.
“Point system is as per the last time as you guys have known before the competition. Without further ado, take off your blindfolds. The competition officially begins. Starting from now, the competition will end after three days! I wish all of you the best of luck!”
The moment she heard that, Gu Qingjiu removed her blindfold.
What entered her sight was unending greenery, layers of branches crisscrossing, dense undergrowth, and the slippery grounds because of the rain.
As of then, since there were no traces of human activities, it seemed exceptionally peaceful.
From a certain point of view, it was a little scary.
If they were alone, even if they were professional adventurers, they would hesitate a little seeing this.
After all, the forests held too many dangers and wild beasts hidden at who knew where.
Now that the competition has begun, most of them would choose to eliminate others because of the high number of competitors.
Gu Qingjiu was one of them.
She raised her head to look at the sky. Other than her excitement at her first participation in an international competition, there was alertness.
The tall trees towered over, and only a slither of sunlight could be felt from within.
Inside the humid forest, which seldom saw sunlight, it felt a little oppressive.
There were rustling sounds around her, but that was just from small animals passing by.
According to her calculations, Gu Qingjiu knew she was about three hundred meters away from the nearest competitor.
This place was too big.
With the layers of crisscrossing greenery, visibility was at its lowest.
One could only see around ten meters away.
