The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 206 Treasure Chest (Part 1)
Hundreds of people entered the supply point, but only a small group survived to reach it without being swept away by the flood.

Of course, not everyone was as unlucky as Jiang Hui and his group, who were caught in the eye of the storm. Some were lucky enough to find the entrance to the second floor in advance and avoided being swept away by the water. Others used clever tricks to avoid the flood, and still others escaped being swept away by their wisdom. In short, everyone used their own unique abilities.

Therefore, none of these people are truly naive; they are all difficult to deal with.

However, at this supply point where it's clear that a single shot cannot "kill" an enemy, it's almost impossible for them to defeat dozens or even hundreds of enemy units with only a few people.

To put it another way, if they recklessly exhaust the energy of the simulated bra in a fierce battle, even if they defeat the enemy, it would obviously be a very reckless thing to do for the sake of their future endurance in the competition.

Therefore, the remaining people have become more cautious and will not act rashly. Of course, if resources are at stake, all of these concerns can be disregarded.

Just like now——

Having snatched the resources from the four-person delivery team, Jiang Hui and the others tidied themselves up and left the narrow passageway, intending to see what was ahead.

Before you even reach the passageway, you can hear a commotion outside, a cacophony of voices, like hundreds of ducks quacking.

Jiang Hui listened carefully and realized that many people were shouting loudly, some high and some low, seemingly from different locations in the space. He didn't know what they were doing and why they were making such a commotion. The shouts even made the group's previously firm steps slow down.

"There must be at least a hundred people inside," Huan Xian transmitted telepathically.

Jiang Hui didn't doubt the other party, nor did she ever ask how they found out. She only knew that Huan Xian's judgments along the way had never been wrong, always as accurate as if they had an omnipotent encyclopedia. If the other party said there were more than a hundred people, then it should be correct.

She couldn't help but glance at him, but this person seemed different, more motivated and focused... He had always seemed so nonchalant before.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Jiang Hui preferred to focus on the current situation rather than trying to figure out what his teammates were thinking.

...Hundreds of people, making a racket, and with the scattered words from the previous few, it was almost certain that the location ahead was a resource-rich area. She really couldn't figure out what had made them all jumping around and causing such a commotion. Just listening to the sounds, she could imagine how fiercely these people were fighting for the resources.

They were definitely late, but it wasn't entirely without a chance. 'Fortune favors the bold,' and resources are no exception!

The group exchanged glances, remaining extremely vigilant as they exited the cave and entered a completely open space.

Then, just as the group instinctively tried to slip away and hide as usual—

"Gurgle, gurgle..." A strange sound suddenly rang out, as if something was rolling steadily toward this direction, and it sounded quite heavy.

Almost simultaneously, several such sounds rang out, coming from different directions, but ultimately reaching different locations.

Jiang Hui stared wide-eyed at the seemingly endless cave in front of her, speechless—what kind of place was this?
The space is filled with an extremely high, pitch-black, bottomless ceiling, and equally endless mountain walls on both sides, with only undulating rocky mountains visible throughout. Several irregularly shaped valleys lie between the mountains, connected to the rock walls at varying heights. The complexity of the structure is indescribable, giving everyone within it a sense of spatial dislocation.

Moreover, whether it is the high rocky mountains, the cleverly recessed valleys, or the connected large rock walls, there are some things embedded in them that do not seem to serve any function, like tracks, as if they were artificially carved double-line guide rails, which have ruined the natural wonder of the cave.

Jiang Hui looked around and discovered a huge pool of water stretching for miles directly below. The water was a beautiful turquoise with hints of blue, making the strange cave seem like a fairyland. "If you go in here, you'll never find your way back," Jiang Hui murmured, that being her first thought.

They had previously been optimistic, thinking they could retreat to this side to recharge their energy reserves if the border conditions turned bad. However, rather than acquiring elusive resources, they preferred to have full energy reserves for the remaining matches, ensuring their qualification for the entire competition.

But now, seeing the situation before them, they realized how naive their previous assumptions had been. Once they ran into this godforsaken place, what chance did they have of finding their way back?!
"GuluGulu——"

Before they could observe any further, another strange rolling sound rang out, and this time it seemed to be very, very close to them.

"They ran that way! Hurry and chase after them! We can't let those people beat us to it this time. I refuse to believe that we can't get one with just a few of us!"

"Damn it, this thing lands completely erratically, is it playing tricks on us? I'm exhausted!"

"You still dare to say that? If you hadn't been so slow last time, those guys wouldn't have been able to get in front of us. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, you good-for-nothing."

"But you still need me, don't you... And it's not my fault. Even if we find them first, can the four of us beat five of them? Can we?"

"...Stop talking nonsense! Instead of wasting so much energy talking, hurry up and save it to chase the treasure chest. It will start locking on as soon as it stops, and if you can't find it in time, someone else will take it."

"If this time it's the same, the same—"

"Ah, this..." The people who were panting from running saw the target box and their eyes lit up, but when they looked at the people next to the box, their faces instantly darkened.

"Who are you?! How dare you steal our treasure chest!"

"Boss, what do we do? I already told you to go after that one over there, she's closer, and now look what happened, she got snatched away again—"

"Shut up!" The leader was furious, the veins on his forehead almost bursting.

"Hurry up and get to work!" The other party rushed forward first, shouting and cursing, thinking that these people were just here to hold him back. If he could find someone else, he would have already shaken off these idiots.

Even the most obtuse among the group realized that robbers were coming.

They couldn't beat five people, and they still can't beat three?!

Great! If we win, we can not only get the contents of this treasure chest, but also the resources of these three people. What a steal! Is their team finally going to rise to power?

Could Jiang Hui and his group grant their wish? Although they hadn't yet figured out the current situation, they were clear on one thing: the box that had suddenly slid in front of them was a valuable item.

Their only recourse was... to rob!
