Above the labyrinth in the garden floated five figures.
At the top, observing the overall view, was Tiffany, with the other four people below her, all at the same height.
They were Shirley, Zoe, Sylvia, and Norma.
At the four entry points of the labyrinth were their teammates: Karina, Zola, Rosamund, and Nicole.
This was the final arrangement they had chosen.
At the moment, the four in front of the labyrinth were wearing a special mask that only allowed them to receive information from their own teammates.
Apparently, except for the pair Norma and Nicole, the other three groups were extremely focused, showing a determined attitude to win.
“I announce!” Tiffany raised her right hand and said loudly, “The competition begins now!”
With Tiffany’s order, the treasure hunt in the labyrinth officially began.
Shirley couldn’t help but let out a disdainful smile.
She extended her hand toward the garden below and shouted in the most imposing voice she could muster, “Karina, move straight ahead, attack hurricane!”
As she spoke, the garden floor changed again, the entries in front of the other three people were completely blocked, and only the path ahead of Karina remained open.
Similarly, the internal structure of the labyrinth changed and the path ahead of Karina led directly to the “goal.”
That is, to the location of the small crystal they had defined as the treasure.
Now the situation was that Karina only needed to run straight and touch the crystal to win.
But others seemed unable to enter the labyrinth.
“Hey! This is so unethical, judge, expel her immediately!”
Seeing Karina already in motion and the other three standing still, Sylvia didn’t hesitate to express her frustration to the judge about Shirley.
Tiffany floated over to Shirley, waved seriously, and said in a grave tone, “Yes, Shirley, you’ve gone a bit too far, you…”
Before finishing her sentence, Shirley lifted her head and looked at her with tearful red eyes, with the word “complaint” written on her cute, lovely face.
“I just want to win this competition... Just let me go, okay? Sniff, sniff~”
As she spoke, Shirley’s eyes were full of tears, giving the impression that if Tiffany didn’t agree, she would start crying.
“But…”
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
As if feeling the impact of Shirley’s cuteness, Tiffany took a step back, and her tone was not as firm as before.
“How about…” Shirley put her hands behind her back and shook her body timidly, “At night... you can come to my room, just... the two of us... you can... play with whatever you want!”
Shirley turned away shyly, covering her red face with her hands, as if she didn’t dare to look at anyone.
Upon hearing this, Tiffany’s eyes became firm, and she said resolutely, “Even if I starve to death or fall from here, I will never favor anyone!”
Then she ascended back into the sky and continued to observe the competition below with seriousness.
“Hmph—” Shirley showed a treacherous smile on her face, turning around again, without any sign of her previous shyness.
“Karina, run faster! If you lose, I’ll rip out every hair on your body!”
“Ah, damn it!”
Faced with the judge’s behavior, Sylvia merely cursed and then gave instructions to Rosamund: “The situation has changed, there’s no longer a path in front of you, just move forward!”
After receiving such instructions, Rosamund didn’t hesitate at all, simply roared and ran towards the thorny plant wall in front of her.
“It’s impossible…”
Shirley looked at Rosamund’s exaggerated movements with a look of astonishment on her face.
The plants that were supposed to block her were as fragile as paper, and the vines trying to grab her were easily torn apart. Fruits exploding around her didn’t even leave marks…
More surprisingly, despite starting a little behind, her speed was not slow compared to Karina, even with the heavy armor she was wearing.
Meanwhile, looking at Zola beside her…
Shirley rubbed her eyes unconsciously.
Zola, who had been there before, had disappeared!
When she opened her eyes again, Zoe was still missing, and Zoe, who was next to her, also hadn’t given any instructions.
These twins are definitely involved in something suspicious!
“Run, Karina!”
It couldn’t be helped; what originally was a treasure hunt in the labyrinth had completely turned into a race, and Shirley could only cheer for Karina.
“Faster, Rosamund!” Sylvia also shouted excitedly.
Zoe, though not speaking, looked worried, observing what was happening below.
She and her sister Zoe really shared a “mental connection,” instead of intuitive communication, it was more of a thought exchange.
Everything Zoe sees and feels, Zola can also feel and vice versa.
Now, Zola was advancing rapidly through a small gap between the plants, at a speed that was no less than that of Karina and Rosamund.
Compared to the three competitive pairs, Norma and Nicole were more relaxed.
From the beginning, Norma had no intention of giving orders.
She simply lay back and looked at the sky, blowing a few bubbles from her mouth now and then.
As for Nicole in front of the labyrinth, she remained frozen in place.
Without instructions from her teammates and no perception, she naturally didn’t take the initiative.
Maybe she still didn’t know the competition had started…
As all the participants in the game were foreign beings with strong lineage, even though still young, their explosive speed couldn’t be underestimated.
Only a few seconds had passed, and the competition had entered the final phase.
Karina was slightly ahead of Rosamund.
“Run, Karina, the crystal is ahead!”
“Rosamund, go get the crystal!”
Shirley and Sylvia shouted anxiously and excitedly, seeming more thrilled than if they were participating personally.
However, in the face of their instructions, Karina and Rosamund were confused.
“Eh? The crystal, where is this thing?”
Yes, without perception, they could run straight according to the instructions, and that was already a testament to the strength of their powerful lineages.
Locating a small crystal during a run at that speed was somewhat unrealistic.
Even so, their reactions were quick.
Karina and Rosamund opened their hands and threw themselves directly onto the ground in front of them.
The game rules did not specify that it was necessary to use the hands, only that the body had to touch the crystal to win.
Just as both were in the air, about to touch the crystal…
A small black shadow suddenly appeared, making a graceful curve in the air and lifting the crystal above its head.
“Yay! I’m the first!” Zola exclaimed, holding the crystal.
Behind her, Karina and Rosamund fell to the ground, with Rosamund even creating a crater at the spot.
The winner of the second game was Zola.
