Chapter 23 The Difficult Alliance

After sorting out all the guild affairs, I waited until the game was about to start before arriving in the United States with Xiaoying and the other five. During this period, I also informed the people in the guild that anyone who wanted to see could come and play. It was considered a guild. Group entertainment projects. Everyone is very curious about the new games here in the United States, so many people decided to come and cheer us on.

When the large group of people from our guild followed Xiaoying to the conference site, I was shocked. I thought that only in China would hundreds of thousands of people crowd into a crowd to attend the rally. Now it seems that there are quite a few Americans too! The huge valley was already packed with people, and we were startled by the lively scene outside this so-called major league stadium. What kind of competition is this? It’s basically an international gathering! Looking in from the outside of the mountain, one can only notice the movement of small black spots all over the mountains and plains in the valley, and a lot of people are standing on the mountain.

According to Xiaoying, there are three entrances to this valley, but generally there are only two entry points. The other is a dedicated channel for athletes and staff before the game, and it is said that this place is only a place to watch the game, the real game location. Not here, the race is very long and it will definitely not be enough in the valley.

At first, I was a little worried about the uniform costumes of the players in my guild, but after I came in, I found that many guilds have uniform costumes. I guess most of them are camouflage clothes. Otherwise, where can I find so many identical equipment? Arms are not something you can get easily. Since they all wear uniform clothes, our guild will not be too conspicuous, but our high female ratio and glittering equipment still attract the attention of passers-by, especially the mounts. Although other guilds have unified the costumes, they cannot unify the mounts. Even if they purely use war horses, there will be differences in hair color. However, our steel claws are all the same color with gold scales, matching the gold color. The armor just happens to be a complete set.

We walked to the entrance of the valley, where a wooden wall was built with wood, and it has a greater symbolic meaning. In the game, stone walls may not be able to block people, let alone these three-meter-high and half-inch-thick wooden walls?

"Are you from the same guild?" A guard at the door came over. Judging from his tone, attitude and what he was holding, I thought he looked more like a waiter than a guard.

I nodded: "The people behind you are all from our guild. They are easy to recognize from their clothes."

He took a look and then smiled and said: "Then please buy tickets here. How many people are here? I need detailed numbers."

Xiaoying stepped forward and asked, "Didn't you sell group tickets before?"

The man immediately said politely: "This competition will no longer use old-fashioned equipment. You will see a brand-new set of video equipment, but this equipment requires a terminal for each user, so we need to know the specific number of people before distributing it." terminal."

I said awkwardly: "Please wait a moment, we will count now." At that time, I just shouted on the guild channel that I wanted to see everyone come to the square to gather. Who knows how many people came! This will require a number of people, so we have to count them. Because the entrance was quite busy, we had to pull over to the curb and start counting people. While we were busy here, two more guilds arrived one after another. Like us, the new rules made the presidents of the two guilds extremely embarrassed. No one knew how many people came from their own guilds, and they all started counting on the roadside like us.

Because there were a lot of people coming, our guild's counting was a bit slow. Taking this opportunity, the president of the guild next to me came over and started chatting with me.

"You were also blocked by that rule, right?"

I smiled and nodded: "No one knows the new rules, and I didn't even think of counting people when I came out!"

The man immediately smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case! Fortunately, there are not many people in my guild."

I looked at the crowd counting on my side: "It seems like it's almost over here."

The guild leader said: "Excuse me, are the riding beasts in your guild fake or real?"

"It's true. That's the guild guardian beast, one for each person."

"You have a guild guardian beast? I'm so envious!"

"President, we're done counting." Someone called me.

When he heard that we were done, he immediately took the initiative and said: "Since you are going in, I won't disturb you."

I said goodbye to him and turned back to the guild line. Our bank will count the number of people and confirm that a total of 3211 people have come. My Zero Sound Knight has also prepared 10 people. Adding the five of Kitty Hawk and the others, the total is 3226 people. After reporting the numbers to the guard, he asked: "Are there any of you participating in the competition?"

"have."

The guard immediately said: "The contestants don't need to watch the competition, then you only need 3 to 5 sets."

Xiaoying immediately said: "No, it should be 3+6 sets."

The guard smiled and said: "This competition is a major revision. Many rules are different. Now the major league can have up to 21 people participating in each team."

I immediately said: "You'd better give us 3 or 6 sets, and we'll add a summoned creature."

"Okay." The guard still smiled and said: "But this time the tickets are directly exchanged for viewing terminals. Anyway, you can't see the game without a terminal. Each terminal requires 17 crystal coins, please pay first."

Rose's mental arithmetic speed is terrifying. As soon as we finished talking, she said: "36 sets of equipment, each set has 17 crystal coins, a total of 54502 crystal coins. Who collects the money?"

"We are hired security guards and do not touch money. The organizer has applied for system payment, and I will open it for you." The payment page immediately popped up in front of Rose. After a simple operation, the payment was completed, and then suddenly appeared in front of us. There were 32 large boxes and six small boxes. The guard continued: "There are 100 terminals in each large box, and one in each of the six small boxes."

I picked up a small box and looked at it. "What is it that's so small?"

"You can open it and see. This is already yours. You can also take it away as a souvenir after the game." When I opened it, what I saw turned out to be a ring. The guard explained: "As long as you bring this thing, you can watch the live game. The specific operations will be introduced later. It would be too time-consuming for me to explain to you one by one here."

"Thank you then, let's go in first."

The guard opened the door to let us pass, while he went to negotiate with a newly arrived guild member. After we came in, we felt that the scene was much more spectacular than the scene outside. It was completely a sea of ​​players, and everything we looked at was filled with heads.

A voice like a shopping mall announcement suddenly sounded above our heads: "Except for players participating in the competition, please consciously put away your magic pets and mounts to save space." When we heard this, we quickly put away the unused magic pets and mounts. The voice suddenly rang again: "The competition organizing committee reminds you: the competition venue is crowded, please be careful with your belongings." Are there any thieves here? Hearing this, the people in our guild quickly moved all their belongings to Fenglong Space. This is anti-theft. Anyway, we are wearing guild suits and cannot be stolen.

After another period of time, the announcement rang again: "There are many people in the venue. In order to avoid collisions and accidental injuries, please do not hold weapons in your hands and turn off the PK mode." Only after this sound did the people in our guild think of themselves. None of them have turned off pk mode, and I am one of them.

Now we are actively listening to see if there is any more broadcasts. People in our guild have infected me with my personality - being careless. Sure enough, the radio rang again after a while. "The venue is crowded and the noise is loud. Players who come together are asked to use internal chat modes such as private chat, team channel, guild channel, etc., and switch the chat mode to ignore environmental sound effects to reduce venue noise."

This is indeed an experienced organizer, with so much experience! I said that there are so many people here but it is so quiet. I thought Americans were of high quality and consciously stopped chatting with each other and engaged in internal chatting for a long time. When the internal chat is set to ignore ambient sound effects, people around you will not be able to hear your voice, so there will be no noise.

The radio kept playing various prompts in a loop. After confirming that there was no more important information, we started looking around for a place to stop and watch the game. In fact, we arrived a little late, and the place was already crowded. It should be difficult to find a seat, but there are so many beauties in our guild! When the American cowboys saw the large group of beauties approaching, they just moved an open space for us near the center of the field. After all the players in our guild sat down, the cowboys began to move towards the center like bulls in heat. Depend on. Girls nowadays are also more generous, so just rely on them, since you won’t get any advantage anyway. So there is a huge difference between the fringe areas of our guild and the fringe areas of other guilds. In other guilds, the two guilds often compete with each other and ridicule each other, but here we are trying our best to build a good relationship. A few handsome cowboys who were eloquent and well-spoken were even pulled directly into our guild area to chat. Those lucky ones who had such an honor felt like they had fallen into the land of girls, and they were so happy that they didn’t know what was going on. Of course, I am certain that if looks could kill, these lucky guys would have been shot to death countless times by countless pairs of jealous eyes.

After we sat down here, Rose asked Kitty: "Don't we have to sign up for the competition?"

Wolf replied on behalf of Kitty Hawk: "No, no. Have you seen the open space in the middle of the field? When this game starts, there will be a broadcast to inform those who want to participate to enter the center of the field. Just register and pay and you can compete. Anyway, there are other things in the game. No doping tests required.”

"So this is ah."

As he was talking, the radio suddenly rang again, but this time it was a man's voice, and the volume was obviously much louder. "Hello viewers, I'm commentator Kaka'Luka, and I'm happy to be here with you again to watch the Major League Games."

Another magnetic baritone spoke up: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the narrator Skanvia."

A third voice joined in, and it was a female voice: "Hello everyone, I am the lovely 'Lu' Lu' Ka 'Lu'. Today the three of us will give you a full commentary together. But before that, please invite the organizer On behalf of Mr. Sleepy Dragon, I will arrange the process of the competition and notify you of important matters."

The fourth voice appeared, and at the same time I had already seen the location of the radio station. It was a round platform floating in the air, with an old man appearing on it, and three people behind him, probably three commentators.

"Hello everyone, I am Sleepy Dragon. I believe all the old viewers know me, so there will be no more nonsense here. I am also very anxious to watch the game, so I will only talk about the key points now. This time our organizing committee specially applied for a special request from the system. Competition request, the system accepted the request and equipped us with advanced competition equipment, please take a look at the field."

He pointed his hand towards the open space in the middle of the field, where a cloud of white smoke exploded. After the smoke dissipated, a huge altar appeared in the field. There is a red ring standing there in the middle of the altar, rotating slowly. The middle of the ring is completely dark, without any light, as if it is a black hole.

Sleepy Dragon continued: "This is the super mission competition space. The system has reconstructed a special competition world for us. There is a huge space in this space for competition, and no matter what kind of damage is done inside, there will be no problem. After a while, the competition Players have to enter here to participate in the competition. In addition, the ring on everyone's hand is also a device configured by the system. As long as you have this device, you can watch any position in the competition space from various angles. It is completely up to you to choose the viewing angle and viewing position. . Now let me teach you some 'operation' essentials. First, there is something that looks like a gem on the top of this ring, but it is actually a button. After the game starts, these things will light up with a faint red light. The ring will take effect only when the button is pressed. The ring will cycle between various modes when you press the button. Below, 'Lu' Lu' Ka'lu' will help you introduce the various modes."

The girl came to the front and said: "Hello everyone, now I will introduce the arrangement and functions of these modes. When the game starts, your rings will directly enter the home mode. This mode is arranged by our professionals, and the screen will continue To switch between the major participating teams, our staff will switch the screen to exciting locations at any time, and the commentary of our three commentators will also follow this home field mode. If there are no special needs, we recommend it to you Use this mode to watch the game. If you really have special needs, you can press the button and you will enter the person tracking mode. After entering this mode, you need to imagine the team or person you want to track in your mind, and then the screen will automatically follow this person Or team movement. If you are still not satisfied, you can press the button again. At this time, the screen will enter the free mode. In this mode, the advancement and movement of the screen are completely controlled by you. You can decide the angle and distance by yourself. If you press it again It will return to the home mode and start the cycle again. Also, as a reminder, if you press the button for 5 seconds, it will exit the picture mode. Press it once in the exit state to start the picture and directly enter the home mode."

Sleepy Dragon came up again and said: "Okay, the operation is quite simple. I believe everyone understands it. Then I will start to announce the rules of this competition. This time the rules are slightly changed from the previous ones. The first is the issue of the number of participants. . In this competition, each participating team can have up to 21 mounts. It is best not to have multiple teams with the same force. Otherwise, if found, they will be immediately disqualified and banned for four games. Those who wish to register are asked to register at the venue. , and then I will announce the following.”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area immediately became chaotic, and a large number of players and summoned creatures began to gather into the venue. In addition to me and my 11 ring knights, the lineup of our guild also includes my special mixed formation of magic pets. General Ling rides Steel Claw into battle, Xiaochun rides Xiaoxue, and Lingling rides Bailang. For this special configuration, I even asked Clark to make a saddle for Bailang. I occupied 15 positions by myself, and the remaining 6 positions were composed of Xiaoying, Rose, Eagle, Lark, Shura Ziyi, and Kristina.

When registering at the venue, it is required to register based on the mount. Those who have registered must pass through the ring and enter the competition space. I signed up as Night Shadow, and all the Ring Knights used Heavy Armored Dragon. In addition, Xiaoxue, Bailang, and my Steel Claw were also signed up. The little eagle's mount is a war horse, the rose rides her own steel claw, the eagle's mount is a unicorn, and the lark's mount is a pegasus. Shura Ziyi and Kristina both use steel claws. The combat effectiveness and speed of the guardian beasts in this guild are second to none, and they may not necessarily encounter any routes in the competition. If there is a quagmire, steel claws are definitely better than war horses. Advantage.

After registration, everyone entered the competition space, but the strange thing is that the location where we appeared turned out to be an infinite space. Under the feet is a kind of white luminous body that extends infinitely in all directions, with no edges visible at all, and above the head is infinite darkness. I don't know what is there. Such a black and white two-dimensional space has a very strong visual impact. Everyone was stunned for a while when they came in. While Rose and the others were looking around, I suddenly noticed a particularly conspicuous person in the crowd over there.

Rose noticed something strange about me. "What are you looking at?"

"Did you see that person?" I pointed into the distance.

"Is that the man in the red armor?"

"No. The one next to him who was talking to him."

"What's up with him?"

I gathered everyone together and said: "Pay attention to the man over there. The one riding a monster is talking to a man wearing red armor next to him. Have you seen it?"

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

Xiaoying suddenly said: "Isn't that the Gunslinger? Why did he come to participate?"

"The Gunslinger?" Rose asked in surprise: "Is he the guy with an attack power of over a million that Black Bear said?"

I nodded: "It's all taken care of. Be careful about him when the game starts. If he wants to shoot, don't hit him hard. This guy's attack power is too high."

"I got it. We'll be careful." This time I brought all experts. As soon as they heard what I said, they immediately understood the need to be cautious. Only the kind of impulsive rookie would brazenly talk about how powerful the enemy is and go out to deal with them.

In order to avoid premature conflicts, we deliberately moved to the periphery. Anyway, the place here is very big. It seems that there are a lot of people signing up, at least more than 10,000 people. Based on the ratio of 21 people per team, there are at least 900 teams here. However, considering that there will not actually be a full team of 21 people, the actual participating teams should be more than 1,500. It's scary how many people are competing for the only winner's prize.

After finally finishing the registration, the voice of Sleepy Dragon sounded again. "Okay, registration is now over. There are 2,332 teams registered this time, and the total number of mounts is 17,213. Although the number of teams is not the largest, the number of mounts has created the highest record since the beginning of the Major League. The last record It is 16997 mounts. Okay, let’s start with the rule settings. Many rules have changed this time. First of all, the team mode will be automatically started according to the team at the time of registration. The team channel will always be open and cannot be Manually close it. However, all participants will lose connection with the outside world, and you will not be able to use any chat mode to communicate with the outside world. Another point is that your teleportation ability will also be temporarily closed, and the use of teleportation is prohibited in the competition."

At this point, everyone started experimenting, and sure enough, the private chat completely failed, and my teleportation ring also failed. As for Phantom, he is neither a mount nor a rider and is not allowed to use it at all.

"If all players go offline during the game, they will be deemed to have automatically given up. If they come online again, they will appear on the altar in front of the audience. The same goes for players who die during the game. If there is a resurrection mage around the deceased during the game, they can be resurrected. The soul stays for 1 second. If the resurrection is successful, you will lose one level but you can still compete. If the resurrection fails, you will lose 5 levels at once and you will be resurrected immediately on the altar outside, but you will not lose equipment if you die during the game. In addition, if a summoned creature is participating in the game instead of a player, things will be different after death. If it is a one-time summon that cannot be revived, it will disappear permanently. If it is a summon that can be resurrected, it will disappear temporarily and immediately after the game ends. Return to normal. Resurrectable summons will lose 5 levels if they die and the player fails to resurrect."

"Fortunately, the punishment is not very serious." Kristina sighed.

Rose smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."

Shura Ziyi also said: "That's right, with a super resurrection mage like Sister Rose here, why worry about it? What's the big deal about losing one level?"

Sleepy Dragon continued: "During the competition, you are not allowed to leave your mount and walk long distances, but you are allowed to leave your mount intermittently. You must not leave your mount for more than 1 minute each time, and the straight-line distance from your mount cannot be greater than 550 meters, otherwise you will be automatically teleported. The rider is judged to have abstained, but the mount will stay and continue to compete. Players can use any means to attack each other during the competition. If you can move it, you can just bring the magic crystal cannon. But please pay attention to the conditions for victory. It’s about completing the schedule first, not about killing the most people. In the past, it often happened that a few masters had a great fight but a novice won the championship. I don’t think you all want to fail for such stupid reasons, right?”

After a slight pause, Sleepy Dragon solemnly said: "There are some changes here that are different from before. I hope everyone will pay attention. When the game starts, each team will be assigned half of the token. Bring the token to the designated location to receive the other half of the token. , and then reach the end after merging the tokens. There is a portal at the end. The mount carrying the entire token passes through the space gate to determine the victory. Note that the victory of this competition is determined by the mount, not the rider. If the rider dies, the mount will pass the level with the token. It is also considered a victory, but if the mount dies, the rider will be teleported immediately and be judged as a failure. Therefore, the rider is not the most important, the survival of the mount is the key. During the game, you can compete for other teams’ tokens, and the team without the entire token will even reach the finish line. It means it hasn’t arrived. The token cannot be taken out of the competitive space. Going offline or dying will cause the token to explode, so don’t try to make the other party lose the token permanently by taking someone else’s token offline. The only way to prevent the other party from getting the token is you. Hold his token by yourself. In addition, the token cannot be put into the storage space, and it is absolutely not allowed to be packed in something and placed on the body. It is only allowed to be held by hand or hung by the mouth. If your mount is willing to hold it for you It's okay. One more thing needs to be said. If two teams pass through the portal with tokens, the system will determine which team completely passes through the first, that is, the last part of the body or armor will completely pass through the portal. It’s not based on who jumps to the door first. Now, Kaka’Lu’ka will introduce the game process to everyone.”

Kaka'lu'ka's voice rang: "Let me introduce the competition process. First of all, the players are already in the waiting area. After a while, the team leader will select the track type, and then the system will randomly arrange an initial track according to the selected type. Location. After arriving at the initial location, you will find something on the ground. These include half of your team's token, a map, and a prompt board with destination information. The function of the token has just been introduced by Mr. Sleepy Dragon. I Let’s introduce the other two items. There will be some pictures or text on the prompt board. From these things, you can find the prompt information to reach the destination. The map is a map of the entire competition area, and it is quite detailed. Guess the prompt information Then just find the destination on the map and walk there. In order to increase the difficulty, you will encounter various dangers during the game, some are natural disasters, and some are monsters blocking the way. But please note that some of the games are for everyone. The one who guides the way may not necessarily be humanoid, but may also look like a monster. If you kill your own guide NPC, then prepare to 'fumble' your way forward! Of course, if you can kill your opponent's guide NPC, You are lucky. During the game, the starting points of each team will be completely separated, which means that you will not be able to see each other at the beginning, but in the later stages, there will be fewer and fewer routes, and there will be more opportunities to meet. There is only one road in the final section, competition. It will become more and more intense, so everyone must be mentally prepared.”

Sleepy Dragon started again: "Okay, let's talk about a few final rules. Summoned creatures outside the registration list are not allowed to be used in the competition. The system will automatically prohibit this, and you can't summon it even if you want to. One more thing, each team's The captain has a privilege, that is, he can summon a flying creature for aerial reconnaissance. The flying creature can be his own creature or can be provided by us. The flying creature has only one life. If it is brought by himself, it will be automatically recovered after death. It cannot be summoned again before the end of the game, and you will not lose level if you die. If you do not have a flying beast to summon, we can provide a talking macaw. The parrot we provide will disappear automatically after death and does not occupy the position of a magic pet or demon servant. It is for temporary use only. Each team can attack the flying beasts used for reconnaissance of other teams, and the flying beasts can also attack each other. But please note that flying beasts are absolutely not allowed to attack participants and mounts, nor are they allowed to take tokens or help eliminate monsters. , these are all fouls. Once the rules are violated, the captain will be kicked out of the competition space directly. Of course, the mount will still stay. Okay, now that the key points have been introduced, the contestants can start to choose the track type."

I quickly asked everyone: "What should we choose?"

"What are the options?"

I looked at the pop-up panel: "There is a slider that can be pulled left and right. The left side says rugged shortcut, and the right side says long road. There are instructions on it, let me take a look. It says the road to the left. The shorter it is, the more monsters there are and the terrain is complex, even in a big maze crowded with monsters. The road to the right is easier to walk but the longer it is, even hundreds of kilometers of straight roads without a single monster are just a matter of speed. "

Rose immediately said: "Please compare the length of the slide and show us."

I stretched my hands to both sides of the slider to show the length. I could see this damn panel! Rose pointed at my left hand. "Is this a difficult shortcut?"

"kindness."

Rose immediately clicked on it a little to the left of the center and said, "It's right here, just pull it here."

Rose chose a route that was more difficult but shorter, but the difficulty was not very high. Eagle and others nodded in agreement. Our combat effectiveness is strong, and high difficulty and short distance are more suitable for us.

After making the selection, our team suddenly disappeared. When we reappeared, we were already in an open space in the forest, but we were surrounded by a translucent light mask and couldn't get out even after trying for a long time. I have seen those three things, but they are outside the mask and we can't get them!

A crystal ball floats in the air in the middle of the mask, and a number is displayed inside, and it is counting down. What is written in front of the number is "Still Remaining", and what is written after the number is "A team has not been selected. Please wait patiently for everyone to enter the initial position."

Kristina read out: "There are still 311 teams left that have not been selected. Please wait patiently for everyone to enter the preliminary test position."

The numbers are dropping rapidly, and it seems that everyone is still choosing the fast one. Three minutes later the number finally jumped to zero and the crystal ball disappeared. The commentator's voice appeared: "Each team is preparing to enter a 30-second countdown. At the end of the countdown, the time mask disappears and the major league competition officially begins."

"get ready."

The 30-second countdown ended quickly, and the mask suddenly disappeared as the narrator read Big Zero. Rose's steel claws were rolled up with the tentacles on her back, and all three items were obtained. Rose quickly opened the task prompt card, and I took the map, opened the map identifier on my left hand, and stuffed the map in. The holographic map is definitely much more convenient than the flat map.

The prompt sign reads: "Look for the special tree by the Moko Lake. There is a prompt for the next step under the tree."

I quickly raised my left hand, and the holographic map immediately unfolded, with holograms floating in the entire open space. "Lake, lake... lake!" Everyone is looking for lakes. There are many lakes on this map. We check the names one by one.

"Found it. Over here." A bell knight found the location of the lake first. I instantly zoomed in on the part between that place and where we were. "These green dots are us, that place." As I realized, there was a red flag at the lake over there. "That flag is our destination."

Xiaoying didn't know that I had a holographic map. She said in surprise: "It's so convenient! You can understand it at a glance."

Ying and Bai Ling took a rough look at the terrain in the middle, and then said: "It should be easier to walk through here, and then go to this underground passage, and you will find the Great Plains through it. It should be easier to walk." After Ying finished speaking, I After looking at the road, a bright red line appeared on the holographic map, marking the route we were going to pass.

"Okay, let's go." Rose urged.

I immediately switched the map to guidance mode. The holographic map disappeared but a red line appeared in front of us extending into the distance. Since this is the first time for Kitty Hawk to see a holographic map, I have to explain. "This red line is the one marked on the map just now. We just need to follow the line, and other creatures except our team members are invisible."

"It's so convenient, let's go quickly!"

"Okay, everyone, move quickly." Before setting off, I raised my hand to summon the birds. "Go ahead and kill all the flying beasts you see, and then come back and join us."

Asuka went on a clearing mission, and we officially set off. This forest is not very dense, and you can still pass through the gaps between the trees, but it requires considerable skills to get around those trees. But riding an animal is better than a car. At least they know how to avoid obstacles. At first, Kitty was afraid that our steel claws would slow down her speed, but as she galloped all the way, she realized that the slowest one was her horse. The speed of the steel claws is far not as slow as it seems, and the dodge ability of the steel claws is really nothing to say. They can go back and forth between trees like snakes without being affected by the trees.

After crossing the forest, I encountered a river. The heavily armored dragon jumped directly over it, and other people's mounts could basically jump over it. Although the steel claws are not very capable of jumping, they are aquatic animals. Will it be difficult for them to cross the river? Not to mention my night shadow, it passed in a small jump. As a result, it was Kitty Eagle's horse that delayed things again. The river was too wide and too deep, and the horse couldn't jump across it, nor could it swim across it, and it was even impossible to reach the end. In the end, the armored dragon simply entered the water and carried the horse across the river with its mouth. Anyway, the armored dragon was about the same size as the tyrannosaurus, and it couldn't be submerged even if it stood in the river. Xiaoying has become much more humble since then. He thought he was a professional rider at first, but now it seems that there is no way to compare with us. Her experience is not absolutely invincible, not to mention that many rules have been modified this time.

You don't have to worry about getting lost if you run along the red line. After crossing the river, you will reach the entrance of the underground passage through many twists and turns. The red line extended all the way into the passage, and we rushed in along with it. Bai Lang, who was running at the front, suddenly stopped. "Wait, there's a monster here."

After hearing this prompt, I quickly said: "Rose, protect the token. The others are ready to fight. Bailang, how far is it? Do you know the type and number of monsters?"

"The distance is 500 meters. There are quite a lot of them. They are probably small creatures."

Before I tell you, everyone should be prepared to deal with small creatures immediately. What is needed at this time is large-scale attack skills. Xiaochun and Ling's magic is undoubtedly the best way to attack, so I concentrated them to my side so that I can protect them and cast spells.

Everyone slowed down a bit, but the overall speed was still pretty fast. Soon we approached the monster area. Xiaochun first threw a holy light bomb, which was actually specially used for lighting. I saw a mass of black insects in the cave in front, all staring at us with big green eyes.

Ling threw out the dark magic that he had prepared for a long time without hesitation. A row of large red holes immediately appeared on the ground, and ugly monsters covered in flames crawled out of the holes. Our sight is much better now. The flame monster is simply red in the cave illuminated by the moving torch. Those fire monsters seem to be a combination of rock and fire. If I am not mistaken, these should be fire stone demons. The black bugs all over the ground seemed to have no way to deal with these stone creatures whose bodies were on fire, but their large numbers were simply blocking the road. The monsters here don't really want to destroy the players, they just want to delay time.

After understanding the purpose of these monsters, Rose said: "Shall we charge hard?"

"I think this is the only way." Ying nodded and said, "If we delay any longer, we won't be able to win first place."

"But these bugs...?" Xiaoying was still scared.

Kristina said: "Let the mage go in front and use magic to clear the way, and those behind follow closely. As long as our mounts move faster, there should be no problem. These bugs don't crawl very fast, so don't worry."

I said: "It's better for me to open the way. Kristina is in the rear. Xiaochun and Ling are in the middle to watch and don't let the bugs on the sides climb up. These little things are the same as the crystal beetles in our guild. Their attack power is not high, but their attack power is It is very fast and will turn into bones as soon as it is knocked down."

"I know, we'll be careful."

After preparing the team formation, I counted one, two, and three, and then suddenly everyone started to rush forward. My two and a half months were burning against the ground, burning with magic flames like a lawnmower, mincing all the little bugs to pieces, and some that tried to run were also scorched by the magic flames. The bugs were not completely devoid of intelligence. After sensing the flames, they still chose to give in. We jumped through these passages quickly, and the bugs in front of us and behind us gathered together to block the road. The flame stone demon summoned by Ling is very useful. Constantly running around us can prevent the insects from gathering too much and blocking the passage. It's a pity that I couldn't summon Lucky to help, otherwise all the insects burned by the dragon flames would have died.

After rushing for 800 meters through the insect passage, there was a sudden commotion in the hole, and then a group of giant locusts jumped down. These guys are almost as big as wolves and dogs, and they are so big that they are scary. I quickly used the Eternal Barrier, and I killed all the insects that rushed towards me with one knife. The people behind didn't fall well either, everyone was attacked. A few mages are pretty good, they have protective shields. Scott and his 11 ring knights didn't care about these giant locusts at all. They were too defensive and ignored a few bugs. Eagle's swordsmanship is relatively cool and basically prevents insects from getting close. Bai Ling's archery is also very accurate and the effect is very good. But one person has some problems, and that's Kitty. In fact, she suffered a huge disadvantage by coming with us, because she is not a combat-oriented athlete at all, and the route we chose was not suitable for her at all.

A big locust knocked the little eagle off the horse. The team was moving very fast. She immediately fell behind as soon as she landed. Just as we were about to turn around and rescue her, she was already submerged in the sea of ​​insects. When Rose saw that I was about to turn around to rescue, she immediately shouted: "Husband, stand your ground."

I understood that there was no point in looking back, so I pulled Ye Ying around in a circle and continued to move forward. Kitty Eagle's mount was also swamped by insects because it rushed back to save its owner. Although we knew it was just eliminated and would be resurrected in a while, we still felt very uncomfortable. After all, the person came in with us and now he fell into the hole. !

In fact, we didn't lose anything after Kitty Hawk was killed. On the contrary, the advancement speed increased significantly. But what troubles us is that the bugs in the cave are like brown sugar and are determined to stick us in the cave, making us very confused. In addition to the bugs on the ground and the large locusts coming down from the cave roof, there is actually a mantis-like monster joining the harassing team. The attack power of these bugs is average, but they all have a common feature, that is, they are large in number. An army of millions of bugs makes it difficult for us to move forward, and fighting left and right has no effect. At first, the bugs knew how to avoid the flames, but later they started a 'suicide' attack. They used their bodies to cover the flames. The bugs behind them stepped on the bodies of their companions in front and crawled forward. Then they stole into the flames again and were scorched and turned into the back. A stepping stone to companionship. If the army has this spirit when fighting, it will scare the enemy to death without fighting. But the problem is that we are now facing these enemy insects. Even Ling's flame stone demon is submerged in the sea of ​​insects.

We wasted nearly 3 hours on the three-kilometer-long crypt passage and still failed to break out despite losing one member. At this time, in the audience area outside the competition area, the commentator's voice was explaining.

"Oh, this is the Frost Rose Alliance team. It is said that they are from China. As an out-of-town guild, fighting in a foreign land seems to be at a great disadvantage, and their luck seems to be particularly bad today. They have already lost one team member in just 4 hours after the game started. , I wonder if they can get out of this terrible wormhole?"

The voice of the commentator Skanvia began: "Kaka'lu'ka, do you think this team from China can leave this wormhole safely?"

"It's dangerous! Look at these bugs, wow, they are so overwhelming! It's scary to see them!"

Lu'lu'lu'ka'lu's voice suddenly interjected: "I'm very optimistic about this Chinese team."

"Why?" Skanvia asked.

'Lu' Lu' Ka 'Lu' took out a booklet and said: "This is the task list just generated by the system. In fact, the tasks of each team are overlapping. There are as many teams that need to pass through this wormhole. There are more than three hundred, but the Frost Rose Alliance team is the first to cross the wormhole. I think they have great potential, and I bet they can win the championship this time."

Kaka'Luka said: "Sister, I don't agree with your point of view. The performance of the Frost Rose Alliance is indeed good, but this competition is attended by people from the Holy Spear Alliance. Everyone knows the power of the Gun God, he But this time the No. 1 seed player. I bet the Gunslinger will be the final winner."

Lu'lu'lu'ka'lu' said immediately: "The Gunslinger is very powerful, but it's a pity that he is in trouble now. Please ask the staff to switch the screen to the Gunslinger." The surrounding audience only saw the screen change. Go to the Gunslinger. "I see, the Gunslinger is also in trouble. Although his life is not in danger, it will be difficult to win the championship!"

The Gunslinger was currently struggling with the harsh terrain. Their guild's path had to pass through this vine swamp. This vine marsh is just like its name, a swamp covered with vines. The blue mud on the ground was soft and sticky. Their mounts were stuck in the quagmire and it was almost difficult to move. The mud was more than a foot deep and their legs were stuck as soon as they stepped down. They tried to lift their legs up again. You need to use several times your usual strength. Moreover, although the soil is sticky, it is also very slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall into it. This is why the Gunslinger's team seen on the screen now all look like mud monkeys.
