Chapter 521 - Follow Close And Grab On
As Yu Luo relayed her plan in a hushed voice, the mountain peak was just within grasp.
Right after Yun Jian and team caught up to Battling Dragons, they remained behind them without pushing to surpass them. Coming to this point of the race, Team Monarch was still energetic as they had kept a constant speed.
In comparison, Yu Luo and her team had long been panting. They had exerted more energy since they had been talking along the way up. This caused them to feel strained even just to stretch their arms, bend down and pick up the mini red flags on the ground when they had come to the top.
With their strong determination, they managed to grab the flags nonetheless and charged down the mountain.
The way down was much easier than going uphill. Even when they were drained, they could descend the downhill route breezily.
It was just that when one had hiked up to the peak in one go and nearly drained their energy, their legs would shake endlessly like a pair of springs when they made their way down. This was what Yu Luo and her team members felt.
As for Yun Jian and team, they were not even short of breath nor were their legs shaking, a common phenomenon, on the way down. Chu Ning and others stayed behind Yun Jian closely, waiting for her signal.
Yun Jian tailed Yu Luo’s team along the way, not planning to go past them. However, the latter turned anxious when the seven of Team Monarch were so close behind them. Although their legs were shaking violently, they ran faster.
All of them were holding the mini red flags. Battling Dragons ran in front while Team Monarch was close behind. They arrived at the base of the mountain in an instant, meeting Lin Kuan on the way.
The latter was stout, having already given up on running earlier after a while since it was not what he was best in. When he tried to stop Yun Jian and team by blocking in the middle of the path only to fall down, he was currently in so much pain that he could not even walk—he could forget about re-joining the match.
Yu Luo and others were about a dozen steps away from reaching the flatland now.
Once they made it to the flat ground, it would take another 300 to 400 meters to return to where they had started just now.
It was then Yu Luo and her team felt Yun Jian and team picking up speed gradually.
Were they going to lose? Yu Luo gritted her teeth and waved for her teammates to start executing the plan she had mentioned just now.
Battling Dragons was never going to lose!
...
Ge Junjian, Ai Guoxun, and Chief Yuan stayed on the spot in anticipation for both teams to return from the mountain.
All three of them had mixed feelings, especially Ai Guoxun. He was digging the fat flesh of his palms with his fingernails. Having despised Ge Junjian for a long time, it had taken him a lot of effort to select capable youth like Yu Luo and others then train them up painstakingly for this duel.
This was the day he was waiting for, his purpose and goal! To oppress Ge Junjian today!
"They’re coming!" Chief Yuan exclaimed subconsciously when he saw several silhouettes running toward the flat ground from the dozen steps of stairs respectively.
During the last couple of steps, Chief Yuan then saw two people from the remaining six of Yu Luo’s team stopping suddenly, moving to block Yun Jian and her team when the latter was about to surpass them and grabbing them to hold them back.
Once Yun Jian and team were pulled back while any four of Yu Luo and teammates made it to the ground and ran back to where the three a.d.u.l.ts were, Battling Dragons would win the race.
Any four people from the same team to arrive first out of the seven was considered a win!
Then, despite the long distance, Chief Yuan and his subordinates witnessed an alarming scene.
