Chapter 56: Flying, Entering the Floating Forest
“Sorry, this is the decision of the higher-ups. I’m only in charge of announcing the results.” The soldier smiled and said.

“Wait, isn’t this a speed competition?” Chen Fei could not help but ask, “How can the time be reduced? There’s such a rule?”

“It’s true that it’s a speed competition,” the soldier said slowly, “but there are also special circumstances. You can actually encounter many interesting things in the wilderness. If you focus on speed and avoid everything, you will often miss out on a lot.”

“The hidden goal of this competition is actually not to see how quickly you can reach the Floating Forest, but to see how you deal with the situation in the wilderness. Didn’t you notice that there are no detailed rules in the competition? There’s only one condition.”

The three of them seemed to understand something.

They realized at once.

It was a life lesson.

“Wang Che, you’re amazing!” Bai Youyou could not help but say, “Did you already know? Did you purposely wait so late? You must have encountered many things on the way, right?”

“We were foolish.” Chen Fei shook his head, “We only focused on speed… to think I calculated the best route and avoided so many soul beasts… this time, you’ve really won.”

“Look, I said it’s better to be alone, right?” Cheng Cheng sighed, “I encountered a few injured deer on the way. I wanted to leave quickly, so I didn’t care. I felt that if I had saved them back then, I would have encountered some special things.”

“You’re the best.”

Wang Che: “…”

‘I really didn’t think that much…’

However, Cheng Cheng also encountered a deer, which surprised Wang Che.

Wang Che remembered that the valley was quite big. The injured deer had probably escaped…

It was not the only one.

However, he was the only person who chose to save the deer.

“Alright, you have two choices now.” The soldier continued, “One, enter the Floating Forest now. The advantage is that you can quickly enter the second competition and pluck the Heart Rending Flower. The disadvantage is that the Floating Forest at night is very dangerous.”

“Secondly, you can rest here for a night and enter at dawn. The advantage is that the Floating Forest during the day is not that dangerous. The disadvantage is that you might lag behind others in the competition.”

“The time to enter the Floating Forest is for one day. That is, until tomorrow night.”

Wang Che pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll go in now.”

“Alright, register and sign the document. You can enter directly. Entering the Floating Forest requires the use of the soul pet’s power. Do you see those floating forest lands? Most of them are unknown. What you encounter will depend on your own luck.”

The soldier’s expression turned serious. “If you encounter danger, don’t hesitate to press the communication device on your wrist. Your life is more important than anything else. At the same time, your communication devices have a shared channel that can contact each other. If there’s danger, you can also help each other.”

The few of them nodded. They naturally knew this.

“If you’re ready, let’s go.”

The way to enter the Floating Forest was quite interesting.
