Chapter 626 622 The Simplest and Most Difficult Trial

Chapter 626 622. The simplest and most difficult trial

The theme of the trial in the second stage of the King's Capital Tournament is hide-and-seek. A large number of puppets are constantly patrolling in the trial venue. Their keen perception and speed like the wind have eliminated a large number of trial participants who are still immersed in the PVP confrontation mode and have not thought about it.

At the end of the first stage of the King's Capital Tournament, there were more than 2,000 people, and at the end of the second stage, there were only more than 400 people left.

Compared with others, Lu Yu's promotion process was unremarkable. Relying on the shelter effect provided by the mimic summons, the five of them found a hidden corner, dug a deep pit, squatted in it, and there was no follow-up.

As time went on, there were more and more puppets in the trial venue. Coal Ball could hear the dense footsteps above his head several times, and even felt that they stepped on the entrance of the deep pit that was compacted by Da Wan. However, even if they were close at hand, no puppet could see through their disguise.

The game of hide-and-seek lasted for six days. Many of the trial participants were discovered when they went out to look for food because they were too hungry, but Coal Ball had no such worries at all.

Within the radius of their carefully selected activities, there were supply points provided by the authorities, which were also open baits. Anyone with a sound mind would not approach the supply points with a group of harpy puppets known for their speed.

But Xu taught the puppet masters of Selcarlo a lesson. She suddenly appeared like a ghost, and after taking the food, she ran away at a speed that made the harpy puppets far behind. Even tracking the fluctuations of magic power was ultimately futile. Even the referee who squatted in front of the magic circle to check the situation had to wipe his eyes and think about how a living person disappeared like smoke and dust in full view of the public.

The three-day rest time passed in a flash, and the last trial to obtain the qualification to go to the puppet city Liuguang was about to begin.

Before the trial began, Papa, Gale, and Chongwu all expressed their gratitude to Lu Yu. With the extra income from the first two rounds of the King's Capital Tournament, even if something unexpected happened in the last trial, they could still leave with rich spoils - they were not very optimistic about luck still standing on their side, and the last round of each trial was always extremely difficult.

"The theme of the last round of this Flowing Light Trial... [Circular Fate]."

"Later, you will go to the underground maze with the secret meeting puppeteer. The first thirty people who reach the end within the time limit will advance."

"This trial prohibits destroying the maze itself in any way."

"This trial does not allow the use of summons, magic messengers, puppets and other means to assist."

"This trial still cannot use the props you carry."

"This trial prohibits moving the Flowing Light Revelator."

"In this round of trials, every three hundred countdowns, the fate wheel will turn once, and endless unknowns will accompany you forward. Grab the opportunity that is within your reach and may not come again, the trialists who have experienced the test."

Maze, speed racing, meat pigeons, there are many elements, whoever reaches the end first wins, and it seems that the only obstacle is the fate wheel that will be triggered frequently.

As for the forbidden summons in the rules...targeting, right?

The puppet messenger that appeared in the regional competition was distributed again, and Lu Yu got a...big gray pigeon this time.

I understand the reason. Why is this pigeon so big? The eagle owl that Herora got is even shorter than it. What resentment does the puppeteer who made this pigeon have?

All the members gathered in front of the densely packed underground palace entrance. Lu Yu was still silently reciting the brief rules while the black-clad secret meeting was in place.

"Trialists, please prepare."

The surging magic power fluctuations made the hem of the secret meeting referee's clothes rustle.

"Trial... Start!"

"Countdown, start."

Hundreds of arrows flew towards the multiple entrances that were specially opened. The passages they entered would screen their fate for the first time.

Seeing Lu Yu slowly and leisurely, Papa and others who rushed out stopped.

"Why is Mr. Bass so leisurely?"

Lu Yu explained: "Because it can't be fast. Since it is an underground 'maze', there are more than a dozen entrances that lead to different areas of the maze. No matter how fast you speed up, you can only take advantage of the starting stage at most."

The fact is just as Lu Yu said. After walking along the entrance for a while, they passed through one crossroad after another. The crooked passage only lit up when they passed by. Standing at the entrance of the passage and looking into the depths, it was like looking directly into the black mouth of a giant beast, and it was creepy for no reason.

On the way forward, they met the first batch of trialists who were performing life and death speed. Some of them were very irritable, looking at the passages that led to nowhere and complaining constantly, while others pointed at the passages with their fingers, muttering in their mouths, and no one knew what they were doing.

The first three hundred sounds of the fate turntable are [fixed body technique] Everyone stood in place for thirty sounds. Lu Yu is willing to call it a harmless incident. Maybe the next turntable will not have such an incident that makes people feel calm.

Everyone had seen the excitement of the Wheel of Fortune, so when the immobilization event occurred, they rushed out quickly, even if they were unsure.

After three consecutive 300-sound events, Lu Yu heard a slight vibration from the wall. With good perception, they drilled left and right in the maze, and approached the scene of the incident little by little.

This was a relatively empty platform area. A trialist was being declared a failure by the puppet messenger. The bright red blood on the ground was still flowing. Looking at the amount of blood, Lu Yu did not think this was something a human could do.

Perhaps because he was out, the trialist told Lu Yu very freely that he accidentally encountered an extremely agile humanoid doll. After the fierce confrontation, the blood sword condensed by the doll was placed on him. On his neck, facing this kindness from the Supreme Puppet Master, he readily accepted the fact that his skills were inferior to others and calmly quit.

The deeper you go, the more active and numerous the dolls in the maze become. However, before they are destroyed, they will all hand over a shining silver coin to the briquettes. This identical shape, Lu Yu guessed, is to unlock some revelations. The key prop of the Revelation Doll is, but if you want to find the location of the Revelator in this maze that is almost like a ghost hitting the wall, it depends a bit on your luck.

The tenth Wheel of Fortune added a large number of sixth-level dolls to the maze.

The good news is that these level 6 dolls don't distinguish between friend and foe and will fight each other whenever they see one.

The bad news is, they even fight the Streamer Revelator!

The apocalypse, with a small green snake wrapped around its neck, had already had one of its legs removed. If Lu Yu had not appeared, it would most likely have been beaten to pieces by this group of violent sixth-level dolls.

In return for putting in twelve coins at once, the green snake on the neck of the Flowing Light Revelator raised its head and pointed in one direction.

"What kind of bad navigation? Isn't this the direction I came from? Where did I go wrong again?"

Sera complained in the chat room: "My sense of direction is not as good as Jeffrey's. How could I be wrong about such a small distance?"

"So should I listen to you or to the revelator?"

"..."

Lu Yu finally chose to listen to the revelator. However, after such a turn back, Sera, who was still confident at first, fell into complete confusion. After hitting the wall several times without success, she planned to return to the original route and kill the revelator. The other leg was also removed, and along the way, he grabbed the snake's tail and turned it around in a big windmill.

The fourteenth wheel of destiny adds the ability for each trialist's puppet messenger to resonate with other messengers within the same range for a certain period of time.

Listening to the puppet messenger prompts that echoed frequently in the quiet maze, Lu Yu always had the feeling that a Kamen Rider would walk out of the darkness with his hand on his belt and say "What happened?"

The goal of every trialist is to find the end point, so an accidental encounter in the maze will not cause a bloody storm. Instead, they will stop for a while and test whether they can exchange information.

However, most of these messages were mainly complaints, and what Lu Yu heard the most was "I think the maze here can move."

A dark elf girl of Herola's clan swore that she saw the mist surging in the darkness in the distance. She thought it was some shortcut and rushed forward, but the light originally penetrated through and the outline of the object suddenly appeared in the direction. The wall blocks the area where the black fog originally existed into a dead end.

She also said that she had noted down the locations of several streamer revelators, but after returning the same way, they were not where they were.

"Do you hate snakes?"

"Snake?" Lu Yu wondered why the dark elf said this.

"Going along this road, you can see many, many snakes. They bite their tails and spin in circles on the ground. They look very weird. I suspect that there is a giant snake king puppet operating them, so I plan to take a detour."

Following the route guided by the dark elf, Lu Yu indeed saw densely packed triangular-headed black snakes in a dead end. They were biting their tails and spinning around like loading icons, but their eyes could not see them. But it was fixed in the direction of Coal Ball and others.

"Lu Yu, these are not dolls."

"Um?"

Lu Yu, who was reminded by Sera, took a closer look and still didn't feel anything was wrong.

Sera's tentacles swept across the group of ouroboros, and the sound of light objects being hit was heard.

The huge number of black snakes disappeared into smoke, and what appeared before Lu Yu's eyes were the outlines of snakes made of thin wooden sticks. They turned out to be just irregular wooden donuts.

It is a small object made from a small scrap of magic crystal. Because of the trial, it is easy to preconceptions that it is a doll.

Lu Yu thought of something, but was not sure. He focused on the wall behind the snakes. He wiped away some dust and gravel with his tentacles. Under the dim light, a bigger snake swallowed him. The mural of the tail comes into view.

"If I remember correctly, a streamer of light who I met before also had a snake hanging on his body?" Sera thought of this, "Is this an instruction?"

Lulu guessed: "Is it necessary to bring the Revelator here to trigger it?"

"The rules do not allow moving the Revelator."

"But there seems to be no rule against moving snakes." Sera also learned how tricky Lu Yu was.

The idea was beautiful, but reality gave Coan Qiu and others a hard blow. The return route they had originally printed in their minds became invalid. There was an inexplicable extra wall where there should have been a straight line, completely blocking their way back. .

Lulu and Sera, two people with good memories, swore that they could not remember wrongly, which made Lu Yu more and more convinced that the dark elf said that "the maze may be alive."

The thirty-eighth spin is [Magician Hunting], and the forbidden demon werewolf who has defeated countless heroes is activated again.

Unfortunately, the briquettes happened to be in the area where he woke up.

Herola and others were ready for a last-ditch battle, but Lu Yu bumped headlong into it. It was already the final moment of promotion. He only pursued efficiency and showed his true body without caring about the hidden effect.

Countless tentacles in the billowing black smoke wrapped around the body of the Forbidden Demon Werewolf like vines, and the raindrop-like stabs made the Forbidden Demon Werewolf made of high-end materials difficult to resist. Soon, it was covered with holes, and even the patients with secret fears came. Cover your eyes.

Seeing Lu Yu easily removing the limbs of the Forbidden Demon Werewolf, the stunned Papa and others even forgot to be afraid.

"Don't you look very scared?" Lu Yu said with some joy in his tone, "Most people will tremble when they see my posture."

"Compared to that...this is a forbidden demon doll that is difficult for even seventh-level magicians to deal with. You are a summoner...and you actually used physical skills to solve it?" Chongwu swallowed.

"I'm not bragging, but with this body, even a giant dragon can use me to sharpen its claws..."

Lu Yu paused, and his tentacles pushed aside a slightly weird hair on the werewolf's forehead, revealing the weird circular mark on the seam below.

A complete circle, without any magical purpose, looking as if it had been carved on a whim by some puppeteer.

After a long silence, Lu Yu and others quickly found several dolls wandering in the maze. Some of them had the same circle pattern on them, while others had totems with snakes tattooed on them, and people without any markings. Oops, the total number is about half.

After finding another streamer of light, Lu Yu looked at the several earthworms and small planarians in its hand, thought for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"I see, this time it's not a race at all."

"Everyone, keep up. I think we can go to the Doll Capital."

No matter how Sera and Lulu asked, Lu Yu did not tell his inference, but walked on his own. He used all the coins obtained from the maze to guide him back to the entrance of the underground palace, and spent the last one After removing the coin, Lu Yu saw the bright sky again.

He walked confidently in front of the secret meeting in black, raised his head and said: "Dear secret meeting in black, you should have something to say to me."

Secret Meeting Hei Yi and Lu Yu looked at each other for a few seconds. The stiff lines on his face quickly softened. He picked up the small gavel he had prepared and tapped the bronze bell beside him.

"Geglan Field, Lu Yu, Herola, Papa, Gale, and Chongwu advance."

"Congratulations, the City of Dolls has opened its doors to you."

As the applause of the secret conference referees present stopped, the secret conference referee asked with curiosity: "Can I know your idea of ​​​​solving the problem?"

"It's very simple. The starting point is also the end point." Lu Yu replied, "[The cyclical destiny] seems to be the theme, but it is actually a reminder."

The secret meeting in black said: "The great supremes have said that this is the simplest and most difficult trial. Now it seems that it is worthy of the name. It is indeed very simple for you... but for those who have penetrated into the depths of the maze. People, will they pray that the end is ahead, or will they re-examine the path and persuade themselves that retreating might be the right answer?”
