Chapter 21: The Prelude to the Demon King War
The dawn sun shone into the hospital wall, but no one had enough rest time under such a warm sun, because everyone knew that this day was actually the key to this heavenly punishment battle, and whether they could become famous and change the trajectory of their lives depends on the last three hours.
From the first ray of light through the clouds, Ling Yiyi and his party began to pack their luggage, not only did they need to prepare for the last day of the punishment, but they also had to bid farewell to the uncle and Lori who were determined to leave.
After hugging each other, Ling Long and Wu Meng looked at the backs of the two of them gradually disappearing at the end of the street, and fell silent one after another.
After searching all the rooms in the hospital, Ling Long did not get particularly ideal weapons and equipment, but obtained a few bottles of unknown potions.
"This bottle cap has an intermediate grade written on it, and the blue bottle has no markings on it. Wu Meng took the two bottles of potion and studied it repeatedly for a long time without coming up with a reason, but she finally put the potion in her pocket, since it was a material found in the hospital, maybe there was some magical effect.
"There are no weapons to use, just medical knives. Looking at the few knives that he had only found after a busy morning, Ling Long missed the pig-killing knife he had used very much.
"Bring as much as you can...... The last battle is over, and what you have is good to use. ”
Hearing Ling Long say this, Wu Meng was also a little sad in his heart, if he hadn't left willfully, they wouldn't have encountered Qingluan, if they hadn't fought against a strong man like that monster, maybe Meng Yan and Luo Ying wouldn't have left.
"Don't worry...... Ling Long found a first-aid kit and placed the knives neatly inside, "If my conjecture is not wrong, everyone should choose a truce today, you and I have guaranteed points, and we will act when the time comes...... Let's take a look at the rules of the Demon King Battle first. ”
Wu Meng also knew that Ling Long was comforting himself, but he didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable thinking about it, and he felt very relieved as soon as the words came out of his mouth.
After packing up their things, Ling Long and the others also left the hospital and began to march towards the surrounding neighborhoods of the city.
Along the way, Ling Long's anomaly watch vibrated countless times, but it was basically the same as his conjecture, and everyone began to choose a battle avoidance strategy, and they should all be preparing for the demon king battle in the afternoon.
Coming to the vicinity of a school, Ling Long planned to rest here until noon, the surrounding houses had been almost searched by other abilities, and so far they had not gained anything substantial except for a pair of clothes.
"There are 90 people left, which is not a lot in such a big city. Wu Meng sat on the steps leading to the teaching building, looked at the drones flying around in the sky, and smiled, "Ling Long, if you can get the approval of the Demon King, what do you want to do in the future?"
After looking for a morning, Ling Long was already very tired, and at this moment, he was dragging his tired body to Wu Meng's side, and thought about it: "Hmm...... If it's money, I'll renovate my home, and if I'm going to give power, I'll try to make my city as few people as people like me. ”
"Someone like you?"
"That's right. Ling Long smiled noncommittally, "What about you?"
Wu Meng crossed his legs, looked at Ling Long's eyes, and said, "I just want to prove to the people in my family that their children are not weak." ”
Nodding, Ling Long could understand her mood a little, this was not a goal, but a belief.
The noon time passed quickly, and before Ling Long and the others could figure out where to go next, the voice of the long-lost hostess in the sky suddenly appeared!
"First of all, we would like to thank all the contestants for their efforts in the past three days and their strong support for this heavenly punishment battle, and then the last link of our 'National Awakening, the First Heavenly Punishment' activity 'Demon King Challenge', I believe that many players have already been gearing up and eager to try!"
I don't know why, Ling Long felt inexplicably irritable when he heard such a sound echoing in the sky, he was like a livestock being watched by people all over the world, and everyone in the city was like a lamb to the slaughter at the moment being conditionally selected by the managers.
Sneaking a glance at Wu Meng, he found that it was completely different from himself, this girl's eyes were full of excitement and expectation, and the fighting enthusiasm from the bone marrow could even be felt by Ling Long as a companion......
"Next, let me introduce the rules of the 'Demon King Challenge'!" the hostess cleared her throat and raised her voice, "One, all players must ensure that they survive to the end without being killed, two, each player will have the right to challenge the Demon King countless times, three, the Demon King can choose any player to fight unconditionally, four, no one is allowed to use any form of practice to hurt others after reaching the specified time of the Heavenly Punishment Battle, and five, once the Demon King is successfully killed, the killer will be recognized by the Demon King by default. ”
Hearing this, Ling Long's ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, such a rule is basically equivalent to no rule...... If the organizers of Heavenly Punishment had gone to great lengths to hold such a boring event, they would have been sprayed to death by everyone after the game.
Especially the last one, it is really attractive enough for many strong people, and the contestants may be recognized by the demon king regardless of whether they succeed in killing the demon king or not, which sounds like a shortcut for the contestants, which means that as long as you dare to challenge, you have the possibility of soaring.
"By the way, this woman has said so much, what exactly is the 'approval of the demon king'?"
"Of course, it's a recognition of the challenger's strength!" Wu Meng was excited, as if his whole body was full of energy, "It means that as long as you are strong enough to prove that you are a strong person in front of the Demon King, you will be considered to have cleared the level." ”
Really, is that just like that? Ling Long wanted to convince himself, but he didn't know why a hanging heart could not calm down.
"Next, as a benefit of this event, I will disclose the upcoming positions of the demon kings in each competition area to everyone in advance, so that all the contestants can prepare in advance!"
Then the radio was shut down, and the city was calm again, and Ling Long knew that in the next four hours, it would be impossible to be calm here!
