Chapter 438: Flying Speed Competition
With the sound of the starting gun, the flying race officially kicked off. Hundreds of flying elves set off at the same time at the starting point, and everyone rode their own elves into the sky. Some even rode Pidgeot and used the super speed skill to rush out of the crowd first.
Wang Qiyi was still thinking about whether it was too early to sprint at super speed right after starting the 480-kilometer race. This was like a marathon, where you couldn't sprint at -meter speed right after the start. However, he was wrong. This was not an ordinary marathon, and the contestants could use transformation skills.
Some elves nearby began to use the Blow Away skill to try to blow their competitors backwards. There was also a Toucan using the Ghost Mask skill, projecting a huge phantom of an evil ghost to cast a slowing curse on the elves next to it. Those who had the electric electromagnetic wave skill sent paralyzing electromagnetic waves flying across the sky, trying to paralyze the opponent and slow it down.
Suddenly, hundreds of flying Pokémon started a big fight, with countless transformation skills interfering with each other. Some Pokémon were paralyzed and fell from the sky, and some trainers were thrown down by the chaotic Pokémon and fell from the sky. However, the organizing committee prepared a large number of psychic and ground Pokémon to guard below, using super powers or softening ground skills to protect the trainers who fell.
Trainers who don't want to be dragged into this melee can either take off slowly or sprint out of the crowd and take the lead.
"Dandan, cast mysterious protection and speed up to bypass the central battlefield. Let's not get entangled with them."
"Wang Qiyi, I'll clear the way for you, you charge!" At this time Wu Tianqing suddenly rushed out. The two teammates from the same country had to cooperate with each other and sacrifice one person to cover the other contestant to break through.
Personal interests are insignificant in front of national honor. Wang Qiyi did not act pretentiously and immediately urged Dandan to speed up and rush out. Wu Tianqing's mount for the competition was not his trump card Warrior Eagle, but the legendary beginner Fiery Arrow Eagle. Because his Fiery Arrow Eagle was the fastest in the team.
The Fiery Eagle went behind Dandan and used the Blow Away skill to help Dandan speed up. Dandan applied a high-speed movement BUFF to himself, and with the double acceleration, he rushed out of the crowd and began to approach the first group flying in the front. The Fiery Eagle blocked all kinds of negative BUFF skills behind him with his wings, and at the same time, he used a reverse blow to stop the opponents behind him from moving forward.
There were ten people flying in the first group at the fastest speed, and Dandan gradually caught up with them. At this time, a trainer from Sakura Country who was flying in front of Wang Qiyi controlled Pidgeot to fly in a zigzag line, and a purple energy ball shot out from Pidgeot's tail and hit Dandan directly.
"Damn! Is this a pile of bird shit for me?" Wang Qiyi complained in his heart.
Poison-related transformation skills - extremely poisonous. Once hit, Dandan's physical strength will continue to decline. If the poison is not removed in time, he will soon lose his combat ability. Fortunately, Dandan has activated the mysterious protection, and the elf will not enter an abnormal state for a period of time. Pidgeot's bird shit attack missed.
"Catch the guy from Sakura Country in front!" Wang Qiyi patted Dandan on the back and said hatefully.
Dandan sprinted and flew past the Sakura Country Pidgeot. Dandan glanced at Pidgeot and gave it a kiss. An angel transformed from a pink heart appeared next to Pidgeot and kissed its head. The speed was too fast, and the trainer on Pidgeot didn't understand what skill it was. Pidgeot's flight suddenly deviated from the route and almost fell down.
Angel's Kiss, a fairy-type transformation skill, will cause the victim to fall into confusion and may hurt themselves.
After that, no one disturbed them, and the first and second groups gradually distanced themselves from each other. However, the first group would occasionally release a skill towards their opponents, but as long as they released a skill, they would slow down and be caught up by the others.
Wang Qiyi rode on Dandan and consciously avoided others. The sky is so big, as long as I stay away from you, I can't be hit by your skills. In this way, he gradually came to the fifth place.
At this time, the top five are Owen from the Eagle Kingdom, who mounts the Fossil Pterosaur; Kahn from the Chariot Kingdom, who mounts the Great King Swallow; Frank from the Rooster Kingdom, who mounts the Proud Pheasant; Prince from the Kangaroo Kingdom, who mounts the Great Electric Petrel; and Wang Qiyi from the Dragon Kingdom, who mounts Pokkis.
The flying speed of the five elves exceeded 500 kilometers per hour, which was like a human running a marathon at the speed of an 800-meter sprint. If they continued to fly at this speed, soon some elves would not be able to withstand the speed and fall.
No one wanted to fall out of the first group, so they kept their speed up. Dandan was relatively easy. When Wang Qiyi rode it to Shatuo Kingdom, he was speeding at over 400 kilometers per hour. 500 kilometers per hour was indeed a bit tiring, but it was definitely not a problem to maintain it for 15 minutes.
The first one to fail was the electric petrel from Kangaroo Country. 13 minutes after departure, it began to slow down and could no longer sustain the speed of 500 km/h. However, the first check-in point was reached, where trainers were allowed to feed food or energy cubes to Pokémon.
Dandan also took the opportunity to replenish some energy blocks and used the Feathering skill to restore his physical strength. Wang Qiyi jumped off Dandan's back and went to draw a task. He drew an envelope from the mailbox. Each trainer received a different task, so the paths of the trainers after the first check-in point might be different.
"Send the core components of the elf treatment device to the Elf Center in Inyoken, 120 kilometers southeast. The person in charge of the center will give you a second task." Wang Qiyi read the task list and a map to Inyoken. He once again rode on the egg and soared into the sky.
"How's it going? How far has the match progressed?" Li Yaoyao, who had just finished class, rushed to the competition department to find Jia Wencheng. They had agreed to watch Wang Qiyi's match together after class. At this time, Jia Wencheng and a group of classmates were watching the live broadcast on their tablets. Li Yaoyao leaned in.
"Hey, this is the live broadcast channel of the Eagle Country, and they have been following Irving. Irving is now in first place and has completed two tasks. He can sprint after completing the third task. I'm afraid Wang Qiyi is still stuck on the second task." Jia Wencheng said.
"How do you view this website? Go to the official website to find Sky Eye Live, and pay to watch whoever you want." Li Yaoyao snatched Jia Wencheng's tablet and operated it for a while, saying, "This time, the Eagle Country has built a Sky Eye low-altitude satellite for the entire event, and also installed intelligent tracking eyes in various places, and the entire event route can be monitored. We only need to pay to watch the situation of any player we want. Here, Master Jia, you need to operate here."
Jia Wencheng was furious when he saw this. Li Yaoyao gave him the QR code. Li Yaoyao was a rich woman, why was she so stingy? Forget it. If I care about it, I won't be able to show the power of the rich Jia Shao. But then again, this paid Sky Eye is really expensive. It costs 500 yuan to watch a live broadcast. Who would be willing to pay if they are not rich?
Wang Qiyi was stuck on the second mission. Or was he just unlucky? The mission he got was to go to a medium-sized secret realm 40 kilometers away to get a Spearow egg and bring it back to the Pokémon Center. The secret realm was not far away, but the interior was large, and he didn't know where the Spearow egg was.
This time he finally understood that he was a trainer who specialized in combat, while some people specialized in flying events. He often did tasks like this, so he would complete them quickly. He flew around in the secret realm, but couldn't find the Spearow's nest. He did catch a few Spearows, but he wanted to let them go and follow them, but these Spearows were very smart and knew they were being followed and would not fly back home.
If there were an expert in elf studies who was the same major as Wang Qiyi, they would definitely laugh at him. They were all elves, so how could they not know the nesting habits of the Spearow? Every profession has its own specializations. No matter how good Wang Qiyi was, he always had blind spots in his knowledge. He usually spent more time on elf battles and tactics, and did not study enough elves of a single race.
He thought of a solution in a hurry. He could ask Ah-Dai. Although the rules stipulated that other Pokémons could not be released during the competition, otherwise they would be eliminated. However, he could establish a mental connection with Ah-Dai in the Poké Ball directly through the waveguide, and could ask Ah-Dai questions without releasing it.
