Chapter 110 Mysterious Island
After the league ended, the enthusiasm did not end, it could even be said to have just begun.
After the game, countless news instantly occupied the entire Internet. A certain artist's new song collided with the popularity and once again missed the trending headlines.
After Zhao Yu and others left, they returned to the camp and held a meeting to wrap up today's game.
"Fourth, your acting skills are a bit poor. Go back and improve them. It's easy for others to tell you that you are lagging!"
As everyone watched the replay of the game, Zhao Yu said to Li Nan.
Everyone: "..."
Your acting skills are the worst, okay? You let him go eight times in the five minutes we saw.
"I'm afraid that my lightning hit will knock him out directly. I'll pay more attention next time."
"Yes, acting is really difficult. There are not many natural actors like me."
Everyone: (ー_ー)!!
We appreciate your confidence.
Nineteen Continents’ post-game summary was a little different from other guilds. While other guilds discussed how to target and defeat their opponents, they discussed acting skills.
But this is also because their opponents really didn't put any pressure on them. There is really nothing to discuss!
For general data analysis, they have handed over a newly established analysis team, and they only need to listen to the results together when the time comes.

"I regret going to the Capital of Seven Waters. It's too far! Uncle Yi, aren't you bored?"
On the fourth day after the game, Zhao Yu was bored and lying on the railing and talking to Isha's uncle.
"Where are you? You have never experienced interstellar navigation! The feeling of a few people wandering in a sea of stars without a trace of life is called loneliness!"
"I used to..."
Yixia's second uncle stood on the deck, closing his eyes and enjoying the sea breeze, and said to Zhao Yu.
The angler next to him winked and said something to Zhao Yu. If you look closely, his mouth shape was exactly the same as what Uncle Yixia was talking about now.
"Sorry, I went fishing!"
The beaten angler bowed to Zhao Yu and his second uncle, then took the fishing rod and continued fishing.
The second uncle is worthy of being a former captain of the interstellar fleet. His physical skills are even better than those of Isha.
This is the result of him being obsessed with navigation technology and not very interested in physical training.
"President, we found a small island not far from the route ahead. Should we go to replenish it?"
When Zhao Yu was about to continue listening to his second uncle's glorious deeds, a crew member came over to report.
"Go! Of course!"
Zhao Yu said directly that in fact, on the great shipping route, such unknown islands often mean danger.
Moreover, they were actually not short of supplies. They brought enough things to float at sea for more than two months.
But Zhao Yu was so bored. He originally thought he was a person who could endure loneliness, but reality slapped him in the face.
His temperament that could endure loneliness was worthless for navigation.
When the Star was approaching the island, Zhao Yu rushed to the island on moon steps and said to the people on the ship:
"Don't get too close yet. I'll go up to explore the road first and wait for my news."
Zhao Yu soon arrived over the island. The first thing that caught his eye was an open space in the center of the island.
There is a circular altar-style building on it. There is also a shrine in the center of the altar. Surrounding the altar are strange stone statues. .
Except for this open space, the entire island was covered with dense woods, and Zhao Yu landed directly in front of the altar.
However, Zhao Yu did not act rashly, because he felt that although the island was full of dense trees, it gave people a feeling of no life.
After he observed it for a while, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura with his full vision. He quickly dodged and flew over with a stone spear grazing his hair.
When he turned around to look, he found that the enemy was actually a stone statue.
Looking at the resurrected stone statue, Zhao Yu ducked in front of him and punched confidently.
But this was actually blocked by the stone statue, and it even made a quick counterattack.
This stone statue had a speed that was completely contrary to his racial talent. Zhao Yu could not avoid it at all, and was about to be hit directly by it.
However, what Zhao Yu cloned was Li Nan's Thunder Fruit. He activated the fruit's ability in time, and Yuanhua's body made the stone statue's attack fail.
"Armed color hardened! Finger gun - Huang Lian!"
After dodging the attack in elemental form, Zhao Yu shot out a spear and smashed one of the stone statue's arms. Only then did he realize that its body was actually made of stone gears.
Zhao Yu originally thought this thing would be a devil fruit creation, but he didn't expect it to be an engineering puppet.
What kind of technology is this that allows stone puppets to have such speed and power?
But he didn't dwell too much on it. After using elementalization to dodge the puppet's blow again, Zhao Yu finally found an opportunity and smashed its head with a punch, causing it to stop completely.
But before he could take a breath, another stone spear flew over.
This time he didn't get too entangled with the new stone statues, because he found that all the stone statues were waking up one by one.
With the power and speed of these stone statues, he would be dead if he was surrounded.
Facing more and more stone statues, Zhao Yu came to the central altar in a flash of lightning.
He tried to put the shrine on the altar into his backpack but failed, so he could only lift the somewhat heavy shrine.
However, when he picked up the shrine, he found that there was a small closed stone door under the shrine, but this small stone door was made of sea floor stone.
He touched it and almost said it here, but the attacks from the stone statues never stopped.
Because there was no way to do anything about this door, Zhao Yu could only escape from here with difficulty using the moon steps.
When Zhao Yufei was in the sky, the stone statues on the ground attacked him with stone spears or stones from time to time, but he avoided them one by one.
He just carried the shrine and returned to the Star. The stone statues seemed to be afraid of the sea for some unknown reason.
They could only stand on the shore and throw stones at the Star. With their power, the stones flew towards the Star like cannonballs.
"Run quickly, stay away from the coast!" Zhao Yu shouted to everyone after returning to the boat.
After hearing this, everyone immediately turned the ship and set sail. Yixia and Ershu stepped forward to intercept the attacks of the stone statues, but some of them still missed the target.
Several holes were punched in the hull of the Etoile, and part of the fence was shattered.
But the attack by the stone statues ended there, and the Star successfully escaped from their attack range.
~~~
"Huh~ What is this? Is it so powerful?"
After returning to the route safely, Yixia asked Zhao Yu.
"Ugh~ I don't know either~amu, I only know that they are some puppets, and their speed and strength are not weaker than mine."
Zhao Yu said while eating food to replenish his strength.
Just now, because of the sea tower stone, nearly half of his physical strength had been lost.
"The island in this game is really amazing!" Yi Xia's second sigh.
"Isn't this something we all know a long time ago? Let's take a look at what's in this box!" The angler said, pointing to the shrine that Zhao Yu carried back.
"This is called a shrine. Can you read more? This is where the statues of gods should be."
Isha slapped his brother and said to him.
The words of the two successfully attracted everyone's attention to the shrine.
This is a small building in the style of a small house with two small stone doors on it.
Zhao Yuqi chose to take it for the first time because he didn't want to lose anything.
But when he discovered that this thing couldn't be stored in his backpack, he only paid attention to it because it reminded him of the treasure box from the Pyramid mission.
The treasure box contains devil fruits, and the items in this shrine shouldn't be simple.
"This thing can't be put in the backpack. There should be some special items inside. You guys stand back and I'll open it and take a look!"
Zhao Yu finally recovered his strength and said to everyone before coming to the shrine.
But when he put his hand on the small handle of the stone door, a deep feeling of weakness came, and Zhao Yu knelt down directly in front of the shrine.
"Boss, do you still believe this?" The angler said in surprise as he looked at Zhao Yu who was kneeling in front of the shrine.
“You can’t believe it, these two handles are made of hellstone!”
"I can't fight this thing. Whoever comes here, please be careful. There are traps here."
Zhao Yu gasped after letting go of the handle, and then he stepped back.
Fortunately, I didn't touch the handle here when I escaped just now, otherwise I would have to stay on this island.
