87: Discovery

Just like that, on the fifth day of the competition, a situation was finally discovered.

The three-person team being tracked by Lin Ye suddenly became excited after seeing the information on their optical computer.

They advanced at full speed in one direction.

Lin Ye understood; they had found the target.

He quickly sent out the message.

"Everyone, quickly gather towards me, mainly avoiding the Oka People teams along the way. Don't let them discover your intentions."

The others were overjoyed upon seeing his message.

"Lord Lin Ye found the target?"

"Okay, executing the mission immediately."

"Arriving soon."

Lin Ye's coordinates kept changing, which initially puzzled them, but after Lin Ye instructed them to hang back and not catch up, these clever individuals finally realized Lin Ye's intention.

"What a great idea! Fortunately, Lord Lin Ye was careful, otherwise, these Oka People would have really won."

"Only Lord Lin Ye can do this; we would definitely have been discovered."

"Hahaha, waiting for the rabbit, is it?"

Lin Ye had never underestimated these elites, but he had still underestimated them.

One team even reported encountering the Oka People, and with their excellent acting skills, they gave the impression that they were still searching.

That team also seemed possessed by an actor, performing as if they were still searching.

The outside audience, watching from a God's perspective, naturally understood the reason and burst into laughter.

"I admit your acting is superb, so I will also bring out everything I've learned; how will you respond?"

"It's too funny. One side pretends not to have found the target and shows off their acting skills, while the other side, I know you're pretending not to have found the target and showing off your acting skills, and I'm doing the same, pretending I haven't discovered that you've found the target and are showing off your acting skills, cooperating with your performance."

"This scene should be rated as the funniest moment of this competition."

Lin Ye followed the three-person team and reached their destination.

He didn't get too close, as he couldn't guarantee that the Three-Eyed Clan and Long-Nosed Race on the opposite side wouldn't discover him.

So he stood outside the detection range of the Three-Eyed Clan and Long-Nosed Race.

The detection range of these two races was not a secret; it had been understood before the competition.

Lin Ye's Star Eyes had a very long range, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered.

He began searching around this area and finally found the rescue target in a garbage heap.

This Red Skull was hiding in a dug-out tunnel, surrounded by garbage heaps, making it very difficult to find.

Their main base was a hundred meters deep.

Although very deep, the Star Eyes, after being upgraded, were not to be underestimated.

How strong were the Star Eyes after Great Attainment?

Lin Ye's field of vision was strengthened by more than thirty times, with no blind spots in all directions.

The Star Eyes perspective also received a terrifying enhancement; if he wished, he could clearly see the cellular composition.

If he stood on Earth and looked at the moon, he could clearly see the detailed scenery.

His X-ray vision also increased; penetrating a thousand meters of ground was effortless, so detection was not a problem.

This was his first time using the enhanced Star Eyes.

In the Yellow Sand Trial, he hadn't really put many points into Star Eyes. At that time, his main focus was Star Force Body Armor. After Star Force Body Armor reached Profound, the Gang Qi born from Great Attainment was also strengthened, providing terrifying defense.

The Gang Qi also tempered his body over and over again. According to the information Lin Ye received, after the Gang Qi tempering was complete, he would form a Pure Gang Body.

At that time, his physical amplification would receive a huge boost.

The enhanced physical amplification combined with Muscle Master would make him a One-Punch Man.

In this arena match, his trump cards weren't even forced out, and he won easily, which disappointed him for a long time.

However, it seemed these pirates offered some hope.

After Lin Ye had a clear understanding of the situation, he was very excited.

These pirates numbered over fifty, including ten Sixth Order individuals, making them formidable.

The organizers had arranged the number of pirates based on the combined strength of two teams.

To try and monopolize the rescue, it would test the soft power of the contestants.

If two teams joined forces, it would depend on who rescued more hostages.

Unfortunately, the organizers still underestimated Lin Ye's strength.

Without waiting for his teammates to arrive, Lin Ye sent them coordinates and instructed them to engage the opponents before he acted.

He activated Escape Void and infiltrated the pirates' base.

He thoroughly investigated the pirates' strength, the distribution of hostages, and so on.

There were a total of thirty-five hostages, held in a makeshift secret room built by the pirates.

The outside was heavily guarded.

It was difficult to break through.

Lin Ye did not act rashly.

Relying on group teleportation was not a solution; it would be difficult to rescue all of them.

After reaching Fifth Order, he could take a maximum of five people, teleport fifty meters, and perform about ten teleports before becoming exhausted.

Clearly, this was not applicable to the current situation.

He reported the intelligence to his teammates, and the think tank began to discuss.

At present, the rescue was almost certain; as long as Lin Ye broke through the protection from the inside, and the people outside charged in, eliminating the pirate group would not be a problem.

But the interference from the Oka Clan was a big issue.

The competition did not allow private duels to eliminate opponents, but snatching hostages was allowed, and duels during hostage snatching were permitted.

If his side and the pirates fought to a mutual defeat, and then the other side picked up the spoils, it would be a huge loss.

Moreover, rescuing hostages required taking them to a safe zone to be picked up by a spaceship to be considered successful.

Fortunately, the think tank members were all experienced veterans.

After discussing, they decided that luring the enemy away would be better.

They would lure some enemies away and take them towards the Oka Clan's team, engaging the Oka Clan.

Then, Lin Ye would deal with the remaining enemies and rescue the hostages.

The plan was put into action.

Lin Ye was hidden within the enemy's ranks.

Nio was the first to attack.

He directly transformed into his true form, his body covered in green armor.

A bolt of lightning struck, instantly turning the two pirates guarding the entrance into charcoal.

These pirates were real pirates. After being sentenced to death, they had thought their lives were over, but they never expected the Galaxy Alliance to ask them to be NPCs for this competition. If they protected one hostage, they would get a survival slot; if they protected all, they would all be released.

After all, they were simulating kidnappers who extorted ransoms. Such kidnappers would not casually kill hostages; each killed hostage meant one less case, and it would increase the bounty, making their future more difficult.

During this time, they could threaten with the hostages, who were robots disguised as people and could be killed.

So, the moment Nio attacked, these experienced pirates instantly reacted.

The pirates hiding near the garbage heap took action. Although they lacked their usual technological weapons, their individual strength was still considerable.

Especially their ferocity.

They instantly engaged in a fierce battle with the Mohe Clan team.

The pirate side was indeed stronger, and the crowd retreated.

They led the pirates towards the Oka Clan's team.
