Chapter 287: Labyrinth Island
The number of participants in the Twin Cities Cup has reached more than 1,500! Thank you for your enthusiastic participation, but with so many participants, we can't accurately and comprehensively present you with the most exciting picture of the competition! So now the qualifiers will be eliminated 80% of the participants! Only the best of the best will have a chance to make it to the second round! ”
After the people calmed down a little, the city lord Kauvrin then announced the purpose of the first round.
The people who ate melons were a little surprised when they heard this, and the scene suddenly became noisy, but the contestants didn't have much reaction.
In the first round, it seemed that 80% of the contestants would be dissuaded, but in fact, it only eliminated 1,500 people to about 300, which did not exceed the expectations of the contestants.
It's better to say that, except for some small churches who just come to play soy sauce, those large churches and players are all aiming for victory, eager to eliminate all the useless enemies at once, save their physical strength and energy to better cope with the next game.
The only thing that surprised them was that they originally thought that this Twin Cities Cup was a lottery or a dark box operation or something, allowing participants to catch and fight each other in pairs, so that they would compete all the way to determine the winner.
It doesn't seem like that's the format right now?
The noise soon died down, and Kaulinf continued to talk about the rules of the game.
"The first round will take place on Labyrinth Island, and you will be randomly distributed throughout the maze. See the marker plate on your bracelet? One marker counts as one point, and a wristband can be inlaid with up to five markers! Just collect a full 5 points and find the exit of the maze to pass the first round of the game! The competition does not prohibit hurting people to forcibly seize the number plate, but intentional homicide is prohibited, we will randomly select the performance of some players, broadcast live in this square through magic mirrors, once you find a violation, you will immediately disqualify the competition and pursue legal responsibility, so don't think about fishing in troubled waters! ”
"The first round of the Twin Cities Cup lasts for three days, and anyone who is still in the maze or doesn't collect 5 markers after three days will also be disqualified! Anything else you don't understand? ”
Kaulinf explained aloud to the people in the plaza below.
Several contestants raised their hands and wanted to ask some questions.
Kaulinf pretended not to see it.
Don't be funny, this rule was hand-picked by the god of the game church, and even if there was something wrong, Kaulinf didn't dare to change it casually.
"Since there are no problems, then be ready, count to the third...... Two...... One! ”
"Game on!"
As Kaulinf announced the start of the match, the next moment, the bracelets on the wrists of all the competitors glowed brightly.
Although the people of the other churches and the residents of Lancaster did not know, in fact, the resurrection stone in the underground stronghold of Lancaster also emitted a dazzling light, as if it echoed the bracelets on the hands of the contestants.
In the next instant, all the contestants disappeared in the light.
The people who eat melons are in an uproar because of what they can't understand in front of them.
After making sure that the contestants were gone, Kaulinf turned around and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, nodding to the magicians who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time.
So the magicians he hired began to use the magic mirror technique that had been prepared for several days, and projected the scene observed by the set up mage's eye onto the square.
Although the name of the arena is Labyrinth Island, the essence of the arena is actually the 'Cellar of the Living Dead', which has been reorganized and transformed by Xiwei, that is, the fragments of the kingdom of God that have rotted evil bones.
The small copy of the Living Dead's Crypt was temporarily disabled by Sivi in the name of maintenance two days ago.
After all, the current Xiwei doesn't have the ability to casually take out an island and let more than a thousand people explore it...... In fact, just teleporting a large group of people to the cellar of the living dead made Sivi tired and half dead, not that the power of faith was consumed, but simply the fatigue caused by insufficient effort.
For example, it is like a person carrying more than 1,000 bottles of mineral water, and although one bottle of mineral water is very light, it is quite heavy together. Although the money (power of faith) on the body is not less, the whole person is very tired.
Of course, if Sivi wants to, he can create a passage for this, and continuing to use the above metaphor is equivalent to buying a small trolley, which can save a lot of effort, but it will cost unnecessary money (the power of faith), considering that there is not much chance of such large-scale use in the future, so Sivi still gave up doing so.
However, in this way, all the corpse residues of various monsters piled up in Xiwei's own kingdom of God were cleaned up, most of which were used by Xiwei to build various mechanisms on the Labyrinth Island, as well as the special bracelets on the hands of the contestants.
It is worth mentioning that there is no exit from the Labyrinth Island itself, and the so-called exit is a structure similar to the Resurrection Stone, which can teleport the person who finds the exit directly back to the square in front of the Lord's Mansion in Lancaster. Of course, if that person doesn't collect enough tags, he's disqualified......
In a sense, finding the exit is the first test in the whole process of attacking Labyrinth Island.
Because Xiwei hadn't done this kind of copy-like thing for a long time, he had been pinching the venue of this competition with great interest for a long time.
So when the contestants, including the players, teleported to the maze island, they were taken aback by the sight and atmosphere inside.
The sky is pitch black, not even the stars can be seen, and the surrounding walls as a labyrinth divide the entire kingdom of God, are black bricks full of crimson cracks, and there is a faint flow of lava in the cracks, and this dim crimson light has become the only light source in the entire labyrinth, but the magic is that the temperature of this brick is not high, and it is not even different from ordinary stones to the touch, and there is no way to use it as heating.
In addition, bricks are not indestructible, and can be broken with enough force to destroy such walls, but when attacking the wall, they will be counterattacked by a force, and when the bricks are broken, there will be a martyrdom, which is quite powerful and only works on the contestant and does not affect the surrounding bricks......
The surrounding ground can also see the corpses of various creatures or the remains of skeletons, which makes the atmosphere of the whole scene extremely depressing.
Throughout the labyrinth, there are also treasure chests that hold food and water, as well as some other convenience items, but the number is relatively scarce.
Unless you quickly collect enough markers and leave the Labyrinth Island in a short time, whether you can replenish in time in this space and save your physical strength and energy is also a very crucial part, which can be regarded as the second test of attacking the Labyrinth Island.
If an earthling directly crosses into this space, he will probably think that he has traveled to a world like Dark Souls or Diablo 2......
So in order to match this atmosphere, Silvy specially ran to the monster lair found by some players in the wilderness of the main material plane, and uprooted the entire lair and threw it into this labyrinth island.
After two days of panic, these monsters who were selected by Xiwei and were about the same level began to explore this new home, and it was obvious that they would definitely run into the contestants who were also looking for an exit, which was the third test of Labyrinth Island.
Coupled with some of the classic traps that are common in adventure movies set up by Xiwei, as well as the game between contestants for markers and survival materials, this seemingly simple Labyrinth Island dungeon strategy actually contains a full five tests!
Satisfied with this, and even a little proud, Sivi nestled himself in the kingdom of God that he had become clean and tidy, preparing snacks and sodas, intending to enjoy the performance of the players and other contestants in the maze they had made.
It was only when the contestants appeared in the maze and began to carefully explore the maze that Sivi somehow had a strange feeling.
After thinking about it for a long time, it dawned on him.
"Isn't this a reality show on Earth!"
This is certainly not a reality show.
After all, ordinary reality shows don't kill people, except for sudden death.
And this place, called Labyrinth Island, is a real dangerous place.
"What bullshit for peace, I believe you are a big-headed ghost......"
A young man who was a believer in Grimmond, the god of travel and art, desperately poked a two-headed gray jackal to death, and sat on the ground panting with sweat and swearing, muttering curses.
As the god of travel, Grimon does not have a fixed church, but most caravans are dedicated to the deity to make travelers pray for the success of their travels.
Although Grimon's followers are not strong in combat, almost every one of them is good at surviving in the wild, but even so, several of his companions who came in with him have already died in various accidents.
He stood up and looked at the corpse of his companion whose head had been bitten off by a two-headed gray jackal, he should have been the one who would have been buried in the mouth of the beast, but at the last moment, the other party pushed him away and blocked the boy for the disaster.
The man was a rugged middle-aged man, very cheerful and heroic no matter what he did, but at the moment before facing the beast kiss, this iron-blooded man finally showed a gentle expression that he had never had in his daily life, and answered the young man's painful question, "Why do you want to save me." ’
"Because I love you!"
After a moment of silence, pressing this memory to the bottom of his heart, he made a slight farewell salute to the other party's corpse.
"Go with peace of mind, your efforts will not be in vain, I will not stop." He said with a serious expression, "I will leave here alive and expose the hypocrisy of the Lord of Lancaster to everyone!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and left with a serious face, the hem of the windbreaker was windless, and the hunting sound, with his weather-beaten and resolute face, a tough guy style emerged spontaneously!
Then he stepped on the tiles with the traps, and was shot into a sieve by the arrows fired from both sides.
The believer of the God of Travel, who had been shot to death, stood in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion with a bewildered expression, looking at his companions who had already died in battle.
"Y-Are you alright?" He asked, stunned.
"It's not okay, people who die from the venue seem to be missing something physically." The iron-blooded man who had bitten off his head by a monster in the labyrinth island showed off his ears, and a small piece was missing from them.
The boy who had just been resurrected turned pale, holding his ass and silently distancing himself from him.
