With various thoughts in mind, the second small cycle’s trial officially began.
Having gained experience, everyone knew where to go. Compared to the hesitance and anxiety during the first time choosing the teleportation array, this time, the majority moved very quickly.
In a short time, more than half of the participants disappeared into the teleportation array, reaching their hunting areas for the next three days.
Ye Zhongming was among the first batch to arrive at the destination, which was the 28th District, Sea of Ten Thousand Isles.
Coming here, of course, he had his own plans.
Firstly, based on previous experience, Ye Zhongming knew that there wouldn’t be many evolvers arriving here; at least he hadn’t encountered any in those ten hours.
No evolvers meant no competition.
Secondly, Hawkins and Amus would likely continue hunting him down. Therefore, the ocean here would be Ye Zhongming’s home turf, allowing him to suppress his opponents' strength and maximize his advantages.
Moreover, some materials needed by that female life form could be found in the Sea of Ten Thousand Isles, with a few being unique to this area. Ye Zhongming felt that he might encounter that female life form here. If he could perform a hero’s rescue, it could potentially add an outstanding member to the team.
The Sea King Crown had leveled up, increasing the number of sea king marks. Ye Zhongming bestowed this ability upon Jie Kui and Shikangbu, allowing them to operate in the sea.
Needless to say, when the two looked at Ye Zhongming, their expressions conveyed awe.
To grant someone a certain ability was no longer something mere mortals could achieve. In their eyes, only gods or the roulette could accomplish such feats.
Once the three arrived at the Sea of Ten Thousand Isles, they immediately dashed toward the sea and leaped into the water. Just seconds later, Hawkins and his group arrived.
They bombarded the sea frantically, temporarily abandoning the hunt for Ye Zhongming amidst Amus's screams.
There was no way around it. The teleportation array operated based on personal will, transporting one person or a team at a time, and there was an interval between each teleportation. The length of the interval varied based on how far the region was, but the minimum was several seconds, with longer ones reaching almost ten seconds.
The teleportation interval for the Sea of Ten Thousand Isles was five seconds, a duration that allowed Ye Zhongming and the others to rush into the water.
About half a minute later, one of the two new members of Hawkins' team spoke up, "Alright."
Amus's anger and reluctance vanished in an instant, replaced by a mysterious smile.
“How is it?” she asked the new member who spoke.
“We’ve already moved far away.” The new member opened his eyes and to everyone's surprise, his eyes weren’t structured like pupils; they resembled two light barriers displaying mysterious patterns and numbers.
“That direction is now a thousand meters away, moving away at about fifty meters per second.”
“Pretty fast.” Amus sneered, her earlier confusion after the last cycle completely gone, replaced by renewed confidence.
“The complete information map of the Sea of Ten Thousand Isles bought for fifty points, I hope you can make the most of it.” Hawkins pulled out a leather map and handed it to another new member.
The latter took it, opened it, and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, with this, they definitely can’t escape. Shall we start now?”
Amus shook her head, “No, since he definitely can’t escape, let’s have him earn us some points. We’ll go kill them on the last day.”
“Now, let’s see where we should start hunting first.”

“They didn’t come after us.” Shikangbu wiped his forehead, unsure if it was sweat or seawater.
Previously, Ye Zhongming hadn’t discussed such matters with him. Seeing the six pursuers had genuinely made him a bit nervous.
But whether it was the King of Cloud Summit or Jie Kui, they could tell that Shikangbu was nervous but not afraid.
