Chapter 29 Knockout Round
In addition to the token, the fairy also threw a sign to us, and then disappeared on the lake with the minotaur. Rose grabbed the sign and looked at it. "No!"
"What's wrong?" Eagle asked anxiously.
Rose handed the sign to Eagle, and he just looked at it and immediately shouted: "Holy shit, isn't this a joke?"
I quickly grabbed the sign and took a look. It was written in vernacular, and there were not many words. "Go back to the starting point and look for the next clue." I didn't have time to complain about those damn missions, so I unfolded the map directly. "Come here and watch." I pointed to a group of green dots on the map: "This is our location. The starting point is here. Let's go east here. After crossing this valley, we will cross this small river and arrive at Qingfeng Forest. .Okay, everyone, mount up and be fast."
While we are planning the mission, several other places are also planning the mission route.
A large group of knights stood on the grassland. Two knights pulled a map. A leading knight pointed on it and said: "This is where we are now. The mission requires us to get here. We need to go like this...! Finally we arrived at this breeze forest. .Okay, everyone, hurry up."
The people of the Holy Spear Alliance were standing on a white salt lake and looking at the map. The Spear God said to the map: "Here, Qingfeng Forest, is not far away. You can reach it just over the mountain."
On the other side of the grassland, the second reincarnation was also looking at the map. "Qing...feng...forest, found. Here. Not far away, everyone, hurry up and get on your horses."
In Qingfeng Forest, Kitten No. 2 was holding a map and turning it over and over. "Why can't I get out of this damn forest? I don't believe I will always be 'lost'!"
In addition, several other guilds were rushing to Qingfeng Forest almost at the same time, but compared to them, the most nervous people were the spectators outside the venue, and everyone was almost in an uproar. Hongyue was constantly switching information on various channels at this time. "Bingbing, why do I feel like everyone is gathering together?"
Before Bingbing could say anything, Big Pot Rice spoke first. "I think this is about to enter the conflagration stage, and the number of participants may be significantly reduced this time."
Bingbing smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not worried at all. Brother Ziri's advantage is combat power rather than speed. It would be more beneficial for everyone to meet each other."
The Son of the Night shouted: "Boss! You must not lose! I pressed 0 crystal coins to go up! If I lose, grandpa will definitely kill me!"
Ah Wei patted Ye Zhizi: "Don't worry, I guarantee you won't lose."
"Why?"
Ah Wei said: "Boss and I have been brothers for so many years. How can I not know who he is? Although he usually laughs and laughs and seems to never try his best, but if you really push him, you will know how powerful he is."
Upon hearing this, Hongyue immediately came over and said, "What does it look like when Ziri gets anxious?"
Ah Wei said with an enigmatic look: "So far, nothing has forced him to rush."
Ziyue smiled and said: "With his status, someone must dare to 'force' him!"
Hong Yue immediately crawled to Zi Yue and sat down next to her. "Do you know Ziri's real identity?"
Ziyue quickly shook her head: "Don't ask me, I can't tell you. Watch Channel 3, something big has happened." Ziyue changed the subject.
Everyone quickly changed the channel after being told so many times. Sure enough, something happened. Channel 3 is currently broadcasting a melee. Seven or eight teams, including the team that reincarnated into the second generation, met by a small river on the grassland. Three to four hundred people gathered together and mingled. Ten people had fallen on the ground. A few years later, the river water has turned pink.
The Battle of Hexi over there is not over yet, and the people from the Paladin Alliance and the Lancer Alliance finally met here. Both of them are the main seeds to win the championship. Meeting so early really makes those who are betting on chopsticks a bit dumbfounded. But unexpectedly, the two groups did not take action after meeting. After adjusting the team's queue, the two teams moved in the same direction and at the same speed maintaining a fixed distance. There was a brief silence!
In fact, this phenomenon is very normal. Everyone's goal is the final victory. No one is a fool. Both parties know the strength of the other party. If the fight starts now, even if one side wins, the other side will never be able to win the championship again. So both sides adopted the same approach, which was to hold off until the final fight for the championship and then fight to the death.
Compared to their handling methods, ours is a bit more extreme. We actually encountered a large number of participants when we were crossing the valley, but they were all relatively ordinary teams with little combat effectiveness. The 11 ring knights formed a charge formation and launched a strangulation attack. The troops were swept away in one attack. Lingling, Ying, Ying, Shura Ziyi and I followed behind to clean up the remaining personnel. It was basically a massacre like a sweep. Even if there are still people alive, there is still a team of mages behind us.
Lu'lu'lu'ka'lu' explained: "Oh, the battle in the rock canyon was really tragic. More than thirty teams entered, and only one team came out! The combat power of the Frost Rose Alliance is really powerful, completely overwhelming. 'The advantage. Currently, the Frost Rose Alliance has the highest comprehensive combat power among all teams. If we continue at this rate, victory is in sight."
Over there, Kaka'Luka was also explaining: "The performance of the Holy Spear Alliance today is really unexpected. The two largest seed teams are actually moving forward peacefully. This is really a miracle!"
The most miserable team at the moment may be the team of the Second Reincarnation. Although they won the battle, they lost more than half of their team members. The remaining seven people were injured. What's worse is that the mount of the Second Reincarnation was seriously injured. After using several bottles of medicine, I could barely walk.
At this time, Kitty No. 2 was still wandering around the forest with a map, and it looked like he wouldn't be able to get out for a while.
Gale Lightning, who has the longest distance, is still running wildly on a flat but curved road. His mission prompt is to keep running along the road, but this damn road actually keeps turning back and forth in one area, and he is not running at all. How far, but he was about to pass through the only roadless section in his mission - Qingfeng Forest.
"Uh...! Is this the small river you were talking about?" Kristina was completely dumbfounded when she looked at the roaring river in front of her.
The river in front of us is rushing and flowing at this time, and the sound is like thousands of troops galloping. Just looking at the flow rate, the momentum of this river is no worse than that of the Yellow River. I have no doubt that this roaring river can sweep away dragons, let alone us land animals! The river is more than three kilometers wide, so forget about slingshots. Even if we could hit it that far, we wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the fall.
"What should we do now?"
Shura Ziyi looked around. "There should be a boat or a bridge here. Since the mission is to let us pass, there is no way we won't give up a way!"
Rose also nodded: "It's impossible for a boat to be there. On this river, even the cruiser was swept away. There should be a bridge nearby."
I pointed to a location upstream: "Do you think that might be a bridge?"
Less than a kilometer upstream from us, the river gushed upwards like a fountain. It looked like a small waterfall, but if you look closely, you can see that the water flew up because it hit something.
"Is there a hidden underwater bridge?" Eagle could tell at a glance.
"You won't know until you look at it, let's go there quickly."
When we arrived, I asked Steel Claw to use the tentacles on his back to identify it. There was indeed a bridge here, but it was not an ordinary bridge. The bridge is made of natural stone and spans the river like a dam. The height of the stone bridge is lower than the river surface, so it is completely underwater. However, it is only a little lower than the river surface. It can still be used as a bridge when you step on it.
Because this dam-like stone bridge blocks the flow of water, the river is divided into two parts. Part of the water hit the bridge body and was lifted up by the bridge body, and then flew over the bridge in an arc like a fountain. The other part of the water went down the road. Although this stone bridge looks like a dam, according to the situation obtained by touching it with the tentacles of the steel claws, it is shown that there is a bridge hole under the stone bridge, and most of the water flows through the bridge hole.
After collecting the information, I found that if I want to use it, I have to solve a lot of problems first.
The first problem is the part of the water flow that flies up. They fly over the bridge, and they are very fast. If something walks on the bridge, it will be hit by the water flow. Imagine who can stand still when the water flow rushes over like a high-pressure water gun?
The second problem is the water in the bridge opening. This water actually creates two problems. The water flow must be squeezed when passing through the hole. After the water flow is squeezed, the resistance rises and forms a large number of vortices on both sides of the bridge. That is to say, if someone falls into the water, whoever pulls him will fall together. No one Can withstand the suction of the vortex. Another problem is the resonance caused by the impact of the water on the bridge. The vibration of the bridge deck originally doesn't matter, but when we stand on the bridge and are almost unable to stand due to the water, if the bridge deck vibrates again, how can we use our strength? ah?
The third problem is the worst. Everyone has seen cobblestones. These stones are formed by long-term erosion of water. The current bridge deck is similar to cobblestones, and the water flow has worn its surface almost like a mirror. Standing on a smooth bridge and having to resist the impact of the water flow, isn't this unintentionally embarrassing?
Eagle handed me a steel dart, and I took it and looked at it. "Why did you give me this?"
He pulled out the dragon tendon rope from my hand and passed it through the round hole at the end of the steel dart. "Do you think it can be fixed by nailing this into the bridge deck?"
"Just enough." Ying immediately poured out several thousand handfuls from Fenglong Space. I picked one up and looked at it. "What are you doing with so many darts?"
"This is customized for the automatic mechanism in the guild. There are still some left that I kept with me and forgot to take them out, but luckily I brought these things with me!"
"Haha, we can cross the river now, hurry up and thread the thread!"
Threading these darts one by one on the dragon tendons, these things weighed several hundred kilograms together, so I had to transform into a werewolf to carry these things. He walked to the river, took out the steel nails at the bottom of the metal boots, and then stamped them hard on the ground. Now I have to stomp every step. If I don't dig the steel nails into the stone, I will be swept away.
As soon as you step onto the bridge, you immediately feel the impact of the water flow. The huge force makes people feel as if they are standing on a wall and their body is about to fall to the ground. He gritted his teeth and withstood the huge force, nailed the first dart to the stone, and then used the sledgehammer from Eternal Change to smash it into the bridge deck. After fixing it, he continued to climb forward. Not standing up because I find that reducing the area helps reduce impact.
While I was smashing nails here, the Gunslinger was testing the ground with his iron gun, and the knights next to him were also advancing carefully on the ground like him. They are now in a huge swamp, which looks like grassland like a rice field, but if they are not careful, they will encounter a big pit. The Paladin Alliance has already lost two members due to this, and the nearby Lancer Alliance has also lost one member.
After finally nailing the steel wire fixing line, we returned and asked everyone to cross the river one by one. With this fixed line, there will be no big problem as long as you pull the line, and the mounts can prevent slipping as long as they hook the line with their feet. However, despite the well-designed equipment, overall safety cannot be guaranteed. Unfortunately, a heavily armored dragon was swept away by the big waves, and the opposing knight was immediately forcibly taken back by the system. Without the mount rider, it would be meaningless. In addition to the armored dragon, what was even worse was that Xiaochun was also washed away, but Xiaoxue came over and at least saved one mount.
After finally reaching the other side, I poured magic power into the dragon tendon rope. The tail ring of the dart was immediately cut off, and the head of the rope came back naturally. Unfortunately, one mount and two riders were lost, and the team had to make adjustments. Lingling transferred to Xiaoxue, and Bailang went alone. He is not a mount beast in the first place, so leaving him free will be beneficial to his performance. Anyway, the rule is that knights are not allowed to leave their mounts for a long time, and there is no rule that they must ride their own mounts. Lingling riding Xiaoxue is also in compliance with the rules of the competition.
After crossing the river, we finally entered Qingfeng Forest. Our mission was to find clues in this forest. But we just looked at the map. The area of this forest is not generally large. Don’t expect to finish searching in a while. The only I hope that sometimes I have better luck and can hit the target quickly.
The commentator outside the court, Skanvia, explained: "Because the participating teams are currently concentrated in Qingfeng Forest, the commentary screens are temporarily merged together, and the three of us will comment together. The first thing you will see is the six major seeds Players encounter a large number of players from other teams, and whether they can survive safely depends on their ability.”
The commentator said it easily, but the reaction of the live game was another one. All teams showed extraordinary tolerance. Although everyone was strange about encountering other teams frequently, they still refused to take action. As a result, the audience inexplicably refused to host the game. Everyone was dumbfounded, what's the point of not having a battle commentary?
Sleepy Dragon, representing the organizer, suddenly said: "Don't worry, everyone, they are about to start fighting, because our trap is about to be activated."
At this time, we poor contestants were groping in the woods, and everyone was very cautious, for fear of any accident.
The Gunslinger was walking through the trees with his token when suddenly a group of monkey-like creatures jumped down from the trees. The gun god only felt a pain in his hand, and a monkey monster bit his wrist. He let go as soon as it hurt, and before the token even hit the ground, a little monkey monster picked it up and carried it to the tree.
"It took the token, kill it." The gun god immediately shouted.
Ping! There was a gunshot, and the little monkey monster fell from the tree, but the monkey monster next to him took the token and ran away again. The eager gunman's men threw a handful of darts together, and they still hit the target, but Several more monkey monsters came to catch the token and started to escape.
The gun god raised his god-killing gun to the ground, pulled out the butt of the gun with force, and then pushed the front of the barrel, and the gun body naturally stretched a lot. He picked up the gun again and tucked it under his arm. He held the handle on the gun with his right hand and the handle on the side with his left hand. "Shrapnel, everyone lie down!"
Upon hearing the prompt, those members of the Holy Spear Alliance were frightened and hurriedly squatted down with their heads in their hands and used shields to block themselves. Those who did not have shields immediately found shelters and hid them. There was just a bang, and something with white smoke flew out from the muzzle of the gun. The thing flew into the group of monkey monsters, and then exploded with a bang. The tiny steel balls scattered in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers. The surrounding trees were almost beaten into sieves, but the monkey monsters did not run away.
The Gunslinger smiled and picked up the token that fell next to the monkey monster's body, but his smile suddenly froze because he found that there was a missing piece in the middle of the token, and the wooden man's head was missing. At this time, he heard a prompt in his ears: "The token has been damaged and will be automatically refreshed immediately. If you don't want to lose your qualifications, please grab the token from another team." As soon as the notice was over, the token disappeared, and the angry gunner jumped up and down. .
When the Gunslinger was attacked, the second reincarnation was also looking for a token. Their token had just been taken away by a bird, and the whole team chased it for a long time without catching up.
The knights who were originally with the Gunslinger separated from them after entering the forest. However, the team was separated, but things did not separate. They also encountered a group of monkey monsters. They were even more unlucky than the Gunslinger. Those little monsters gave the tokens directly to them. After biting it into pieces, a group of knights stood there in a daze.
Our team had just been searching in the forest for a while when we suddenly heard a strange scream above our heads, and a strange-looking creature suddenly jumped down from above. The guy's goal was quite clear, and he went directly towards Rose.
Rose blocked the attack with a magic shield, and the tentacles of the steel claws immediately came up to protect it, but another monster emerged from the ground. The rose's magical protection can only last for an instant, and the monster on the ground easily approaches the rose. She didn't notice the monster below at all, and the token disappeared as soon as she slipped her hand.
"Husband, stop it quickly, that thing has a token." Rose shouted anxiously.
I flicked it casually, and the dragon tendons wrapped around the token accurately. With a sudden movement, the token was pulled away and flew towards me. But while it was still in mid-air, a monkey monster jumped up, grabbed the token, and loosened the dragon's tendons. Lingling kicked Xiaoxue's back and jumped up. "Fire Slash!" A ray of red light split the monkey monster in half vertically in the middle, and the token flew out.
Another monkey monster jumped up to grab the token, but it was nailed to the tree trunk by an arrow that flew out sideways just halfway through the jump. But another monkey monster jumped up and grabbed the token, but a steel gun pierced it and the monkey monster behind it. The token was released again.
Bailang saw the opportunity and jumped up. He should have bitten the token, but a monkey monster flew over. Bailang bit the monster, but the monster knocked the token away.
A row of monkey monsters jumped up at the same time to catch the tokens, but I threw Eternity up, and the whip sword swung past the group of monsters. Blood and water immediately spattered, and no one caught the tokens but fell to the ground. But a monster suddenly appeared from behind the tree, took the token in his mouth, and ran away. However, before he could take two steps, he was burned to char by a fireball, and the token flew out again. Shura Ziyi suddenly jumped up from the side and was about to catch the token, but a stone flew over and knocked the token away. But Shura Ziyi is not an ordinary person. She picked it with her sword, and although she didn't catch the token, she moved it towards me.
The token was still in the air, and a monster suddenly flew over swinging on a vine. He could have gotten the token, but my half-moon suddenly flew over, and the vine broke with a crack. The monkey monster lost its leverage and flew in the wrong direction. Although he stretched out his hand, he missed catching the token by a hair. When it turned around, it realized that the tree trunk was quickly approaching him. It hugged the tree trunk with a thud and then slowly slid down.
The token was still flying. My other half-moon flew over and hit the token with its side. The token flew directly towards me. But at this moment, a hound-like creature suddenly ran out from behind the tree next to me. This guy jumped up and bit into the token, but before it hit the ground, Bailang pounced on it and knocked it to the ground with just one bite. Just bite off the monster's head. But the token was taken away by a monkey monster.
The monkey monster who got the token tried his best to climb up the tree, but a black sickle suddenly flew over, and the tree fell to the ground silently. The monster, which was knocked dizzy after falling, was burned to coke by Xiaoxue's lightning strike before he understood what was going on.
Suddenly, a large group of monkey monsters appeared from the tree, jumped down and fled in all directions. We didn't even see which monster took the token. I shouted without any hesitation: "One person, some, kill them all!"
Two and a half months flew over at the same time, killing a row of monsters with a splash, but nothing was right. I also used the eternal sword energy to kill several of them, but I still didn't find any tokens. Kristina's magic missile flew out like a shotgun, killing more than a dozen monsters in one go, but none of them had a token.
"Over there." Rose suddenly raised her staff, and a monster fell down after a flash of lightning, and the token flew out.
When other monsters saw the token being intercepted, they immediately pounced on it and tried to grab it again, but it wasn't that simple if we had a plan. Lingling jumped up again: "Holy sword slashes violently!" With a bang, the monsters in a straight line disappeared together with the big tree, leaving only ashes and burning flames everywhere.
Rose stretched out her hand to catch the token and protect it on her chest. Suddenly a strange whistle sounded from the tree, and then the remaining monsters suddenly turned around and ran away.
The commentator outside the venue said excitedly: "What a wonderful battle performance. I didn't expect that the Frost Rose Alliance would get back its token, but I don't know if the subsequent fight can persist. At present, all the remaining teams are concentrated in Qingfeng Forest. But their tokens are constantly decreasing. Now, on average, only 50 teams have one token. It will not be as peaceful as it was at the beginning. Can the team you support last until the end? Please continue to look forward to it."
We gathered together to protect the rose in the center, and the eagle asked: "Is the token okay?"
Rose looked at it and said, "It's okay, it's intact."
Bai Ling asked: "Do you think this is an accident or inevitable?"
Kristina said: "I think it was deliberately arranged."
I also nodded and said: "You should have noticed how many teams we have encountered since entering this forest? It seems that all the teams participating in the competition have been gathered here, and the only purpose of gathering us is to let us fight We fought, but no one wanted to lose combat effectiveness prematurely, so we never started fighting."
Shura Ziyi continued: "Every team may have encountered the matter of robbing the tokens. They are forcing us to fight. The team without the tokens will definitely snatch the tokens from the team with the tokens, so a fight will naturally begin. "
"If our guess is correct, we will soon encounter a team competing for the token."
Kristina raised her fist and said, "No matter who you are, I guarantee that you won't be able to recognize him even if you hit him."
Ying said to me: "Ziri, you don't have to worry, we are not inferior to anyone in terms of combat effectiveness."
I shook my head: "This is not a question of combat effectiveness. With the attitude of snatching tokens just now, it is estimated that not many other teams can keep the tokens. It is more dangerous for us to have tokens. Every team will attack us. We are very It may become a target of public criticism!”
