Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, if they were to do so now, it would not be called encouraging morale. Instead, it would be a typical example of a silly person with a lot of spiritual Jade. At most, they would only be evaluated as a wastrel in the old Qi family ...

The group of bodyguards looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward. It was not entirely because there was no reward, but because they were afraid of embarrassing the bodyguard agency.

The difficulty of hiding the sealed package and taking the test of the "robbers" was not small. If one did not have high attainments in this area and lacked the skills, let alone three incense sticks 'time, one might not even be able to last for one incense stick's time. At that time, not only would the participating bodyguards not be able to contribute, but they would also be embarrassed.

This wasn't just a matter of losing face, it would also affect their position in the bodyguard agency in the future. If they didn't have enough confidence, who would dare to take the risk?

"How about this? as long as the person who enters the ring successfully hides the item and perseveres for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the escort agency will reward him with 50000 spiritual jades!" Qi Wenhan had no choice but to offer a reward of 50000 spiritual jades as usual. He only asked for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. This was the bottom line and was not considered high.

However, even so, the group of bodyguards still looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.

It was not that they did not want the 50000 spiritual jades. In fact, they were willing to risk their lives for the 50000 spiritual jades. However, the problem was that it was not just a matter of risking one's life to hide the tribute. It depended on one's skill!

Without that skill, no matter how high one's awareness was, no matter how hard one tried, it would all be in vain.

"If you can last for more than an incense's time, I'll add another thirty thousand spirit Jade for every additional incense's time you spend!" Qi Wenhan looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. No matter what, there couldn't be no one fighting, right?

Everyone's breathing suddenly became heavier. If that was the case, if they could last for the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, they would be rewarded with 110000 spiritual jades. That was an astronomical figure!

However, even though everyone was drooling, no one dared to step forward. In this round of the hidden tribute competition, there would always be brave men under the heavy rewards. This strategy that had always been tried and tested had suddenly lost its effect.

No matter how tempting the reward was, if you couldn't even last for an incense's time, what was the use of going on stage? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Qi Wenhan was completely helpless now. If he really couldn't do it, he could only bite the bullet and do it himself. However, although he was the young master of the bodyguard agency, he didn't have much experience in being an escort. He also didn't have any talent in hiding things. He really had no idea how well he could hide things.

Qi Wenhan felt that if he really had to go, there was at least an 80% chance that he wouldn't even last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. At that time, he wouldn't get a single point and would only get a big duck's egg.

"Why don't you let me try?" Lin Yi suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Ling, are you confident?" Qi Wenhan's spirit lifted as if he'd found the last straw to save his life. Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yi.

"It should be okay." Lin Yi smiled faintly.

"That's great, we're on the same side, so we won't treat you as an outsider. I'll leave this round of competition to you, brother Ling!" Qi Wenhan was overjoyed and made his decision without hesitation.

The others were surprised, but didn't question him. After all, Lin Yi's miraculous performance in the first two rounds showed that this honorary escort leader was quite something.

Soon, the 32 escort agencies handed in the list of participants, and the fourth round of the "hidden goods in danger" competition officially began.

The venue for this round was not magic cold square, but a seaside with many reefs. Thirty-two sailboats of all kinds were lined up not far from the land, but they were all used by the major escort agencies.

There was no doubt that these sailboats were the hiding spots for this round of the competition. After all, in the South continent's waters, most of the robbers were Pirates, and the danger of the escort was often at sea. This setting could restore the real scene to the greatest extent and improve the credibility and practicality of this round's hiding competition.

The thirty-two ships were numbered, and the contestants drew lots to decide their venue. The competition officially began.

Lin Yi got lot thirty, a small cargo ship. Qi Wenhan and the others 'hearts sank when they saw the number. The smaller the ship, the less space they could hide the items. It would be easier for the "bandits" to find them. In other words, it would be more difficult than those who got a large ship.

However, since it was in front of everyone, all the participants would draw lots together. Unless someone was caught cheating on the spot, there was nothing to complain about. They could only blame their own bad luck.

"Brother Ling, don't worry. We have a huge advantage right now anyway. It doesn't matter even if we don't get any points in this segment. We can just work hard later." Qi Wenhan consoled.

He was just trying to lie to himself-the four Seas escort agency was watching him from behind, after all. Before the dust settled, any advantage he had was just for show. He was just trying to comfort Lin Yi.

"I know," Lin Yi chuckled as he took the small boxes from the staff and walked towards the ship. At the same time, the participants from the other agencies also got into their respective ships.

"I'll repeat myself again. You have only one incense stick's time to hide your Tributes. Remember, this is just a normal short incense stick, not the long incense stick like before. So, it's best if you move quickly. Once the time is up, I'll call out names in front of everyone. Those who are late will be considered to have failed to hide your Tributes. You will get zero points for this round. Also, this is a competition to hide your Tributes, not to throw them into the sea. If anyone tries to play any tricks and throws the tributes into the sea, it will also be considered a failure to hide their Tributes. Do you understand?" Boundless sea looked at everyone and then ordered,""Light the incense, end the curtain, and start the formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member immediately lit a short incense in front of everyone. Thick, pitch-black curtains were drawn out from the shore and covered all 32 ships, forming 32 hidden spaces.

At the same time, a massive fluctuation of a formation came from the sea. Everyone only felt their vision shake, and then it turned dark. Let alone the thirty-two ships, they couldn't even see the black curtain clearly, not even their spiritual sense could sense it.

In fact, this was not an exquisite or profound formation, but just an ordinary smokescreen. If it were any other place, any expert with slightly higher strength should be able to easily pass through the formation. But this place was different. Right now, the sea fog was at its thickest!
