Chapter Twenty-Five: Ranked Battles
(I'm cold.,The state of this chapter is really bad.,It's a little light to write.,Send it out first.,Change it later)
A few days ago, Tang Xian arrived at the Hungry Sea, and in the needs of some sea beasts, he had already seen a dark horse coming from the Hungry Sea.
Tang Xian, who gradually learned the truth, didn't expect that there was really an arena at the bottom of the sea, as the adventurer said.
Those red crystal-like corals seem to be able to arouse the desire to fight in the hearts of sea beasts.
Just like the existence of a blue crystal after the death of the Stygian that can suck life, Tang Xian speculated that this God of Destruction probably also has his own domain. Although the greatest strength of the God of Destruction is its ability to fight hand-to-hand.
With the Trident, Tang Xian's combat power in the sea was several times stronger than on land. It didn't take much time for him to go from the shallow sea area to the deep sea area, and then from the deep sea area to the god's domain and enter the arena.
It's just that considering that all his moves may be being monitored, Tang Xian has always made his battle extremely difficult.
It seems that every victory is won by luck and luck, and it is very difficult to win.
There is a reason for this, because in the battle, it is very likely that there are many sea beasts who observe in the deep sea and collect the opponent's battle data in order to curry favor with some powerful sea beasts.
The Kraken who guided him to the Sea of the Gods seemed to be an expert at collecting data.
Tang Xian didn't feel the smell of some conspiracy.
For some reason, he looked at the sea beasts who were constantly fighting and getting stronger or dying, and Tang Xian felt that maybe the idea of destroying the gods was really not that complicated.
It was just a gut feeling, as if the god of war was simply hoping for a being strong enough to defeat all the beasts of the sea, to defeat its guardians, and to claim its inheritance.
After a few days, the legends in the deep sea, those stories related to glory, Tang Xian has also inquired clearly.
The way to get the legacy is straightforward - keep winning, and then defeat the Red Emperor.
It's not complicated, but it's definitely not easy.
The sea beasts that can kill into the sea of gods are not inferior to the Tang plane, and there are even many stronger than the Tang plane.
Tang Xian undeniably knew that when he arrived here, even if he had the power bonus of the Seagod Inheritance, he might be able to win all the way, but when he saw the Red Emperor, he was probably exhausted.
And he and these sea beasts don't know anything about the Red Emperor, the Red Emperor himself doesn't say it, the kraken around him gives people the feeling of being a master of intelligence analysis, after dozens of battles, the Red Emperor is afraid that he knows the strength of himself and these sea beasts well.
That way, the odds are lower.
Therefore, Tang Xian was sure that before meeting the Red Emperor, it was the most important thing to retain his physical strength and hide his strength as much as possible.
Fortunately, this time he got off to a good start, because the dark horse sent by the court named King's Landing was a demon-like guy who looked like Illidan Fury, and had extremely terrifying combat power.
"Maybe it can be used to weaken the Red Emperor......"
This is Tang Xian's thoughts. Therefore, Tang Xian was chatting with King's Landing at the moment.
"If I knew that you were so powerful, I wouldn't have come to the competition." Tang Xian whispered to King's Landing.
King's Landing is arrogant, but not stupid. And the arrogant have a worse attitude towards the weak.
It didn't even look at Tang Xian.
But soon Tang Xian caught the attention of King's Landing.
"The strength of the Red Emperor should not be underestimated, even if you are strong enough to fight with the Red Emperor, or even stronger than the Red Emperor, but when you face the Red Emperor, you may not be at your peak."
Tang Xian shook his head again as he spoke, and said:
"Look at it, these guys are all watching you, I know that a creature as powerful as you, of course, doesn't care about the eyes of our weak people, but those who can hold on to the melee must be monsters at the level of the deep sea overlord, if you are overly targeted, maybe when you face the Red Emperor, you will be a little tired."
King's Landing glanced at Tang Xian at this time.
Tang Xian knew that the other party was interested.
"Of course you don't care, after all, such ants can kill as many as they come, but I think even you, at such a distance, should feel the strength of the Red Emperor."
The stronger the creature, the stronger the perception.
King's Landing was indeed arrogant, but after actually meeting the Red Emperor, it also felt the strength of that Scarlet Knight.
It is hard to imagine that under the beast god, there is such a strong opponent.
As a perfect creature, King's Landing would love to fight the Red Emperor.
However, the guy in front of him who has changed into a human form has some truth in what he said.
Although King's Landing's reaction was very weak, it couldn't escape Tang Xian's eyes, and he knew that he had moved, so he continued:
"I can help you. I was able to survive until the melee, and I could help you keep most of the enemies in the melee as much as possible, don't look at me as thin and weak, but I ...... It's the bigger one among the ants. ”
King's Landing finally began to face Tang Xian squarely, albeit with an indifferent expression.
Why are you helping me? 】
"Because I'm sure you're the strongest in the sea, and I don't want to offend you."
[Hmph, that's true, you may be a not weak existence compared to these sea beasts, but you want to fight me? You're not worthy yet. King's Landing did not hide his disdain for Tang Xian.
"That's right. However, there are many types of victories, and I hope you can achieve them in a way that is the least costly. ”
[Why?] 】
"The Red Emperor has been dominating this sea for hundreds of years, and no creature has been able to defeat it, but now that you have appeared, I would like to know if that legendary supreme treasure really exists, although it has nothing to do with me, but if you defeat the Red Emperor, you will be the future lord of the hungry sea, or even a god! I just went ahead and found a backer for myself. ”
Tang Xian's tone was flattering, just like an ancient sycophant a thousand years ago.
King's Landing just eats this set.
It's just that he despises Tang Xian even more in his heart.
A weak man who tries to cling to me? Ants always don't weigh how many pounds and taels they have.
King's Landing decided to pretend to agree to Tang Xian, as for the Lord of the Hungry Sea after getting the Beast God Inheritance, it was not interested, and at that time, Tang Xian was allowed to be bullied by these hungry sea creatures.
Thinking so, King's Landing snorted coldly and said:
[If you want to help me, you have to prove that you are qualified to help me.] 】
"I'll fight all the way to the scuffle. That's the best proof of that, and when it comes to the melee stage, you just have to watch. ”
King's Landing glanced around the room.
There are terrifying squid, huge sea beasts with fangs. There are also bloodthirsty and ferocious sharks that can be felt even from a distance, and there are many strange creatures.
Each one seemed to be difficult to deal with, at least for the transformed being.
King's Landing nodded and said:
[If you can survive to the melee stage, then I will cooperate with you.] 】
"I'll help you hold back the other creatures as much as I can. I also hope that after you become the Lord of the Hungry Sea, you will be able to take care of it. ”
[Hmph, let's talk about it.] 】
……
……
The challenge mechanic of the arena is unique in the early stage, and it is a free challenge mechanic.
One hundred challengers, all with an initial ranking. The rankings are based on the results of these challengers in the Middle Sea and Deep Sea Zones.
The ranking will be updated in real time by the Kraken, and the low ranking will challenge the high ranking, and the ranking span cannot exceed ten.
For example, Tang Xian ranked eighty-two. He can safely choose to challenge for 81st place or aggressively challenge for 72nd place. But you can't go back and challenge for eighty-third place.
The challenged person can choose to accept the challenge or not accept the challenge, and if they do not accept the challenge, the place will be lowered by one place.
For example, Tang Xian is eighty-two, challenging the seventy-second, and the seventy-two feel that he can't beat Tang Xian, or Tang Xian just happens to be in harmony with his attributes, or he has just experienced a vicious battle and plans to rest and avoid this one, so he can refuse the challenge. Then Tang Xian will become seventy-second, and the original seventy-second will be reduced to seventy-third.
At the same time, the challenger also has to calculate the risk, and if the challenge fails, although the ranking will not be reduced, it is likely to be injured and then calculated by the next position.
This is a very flexible and strategic game rule, Tang Xian can even feel the full malice of the person who makes the rules, it is not enough to be simply strong, and you must be good at calculation and disguise.
But Tang Xian likes such rules very much, which gives him room to operate
"A person like King's Landing, who is ranked third at the beginning, naturally does not need to challenge, and even between the top few, there is probably no one to challenge. The challengers will climb the ladder, and the competition will be concentrated in the 10 to 20 places. Because only the top 20 will enter the final melee stage. ”
When the kraken explained the rules with an excited face, and some sea beasts had not yet understood the meaning of the rules, Tang Xian touched his chin and began to analyze.
"Persimmon is naturally a soft pinch. No one is going to trouble the top few, every one of them is the king of the deep sea. And the twentieth place position will inevitably be fought over by all the sea beasts. ”
Tang Xian's speculation was generally correct, and in the first few rounds of duels, it was not his turn.
Also during this time period, those who were originally ranked between twenty and thirty almost all looked at the twentieth place.
It was a deep sea serpent. In appearance, it is three points similar to the white-scaled snake demon, but the white-scaled snake looks reckless, and this catastrophic boss creature called the sea halberd snake is more like a cobra.
It spits out a huge snake letter and feels like the whole snake is not good. It's like a myriad of creatures waiting to shred it apart. But the top five sea beasts were not provoked.
The order of the duel was decided by the Kraken, and Tang Xian didn't know when it would be his turn.
The arena is huge, but some of the sea beasts are not small. Multiple sessions are not available. That is, during the battle, there is a lot of free time, and Tang Xian did not waste this time, and used it to find out intelligence.
During this time, Tang Xian saw many strange battles.
For example, in the fourth duel, a strange creature called the Sea Mud King fought against a cetacean that Tang Xian didn't know.
The battle screen doesn't feel like any fists to the flesh, and the whole battle is that the Sea Mud King is constantly being hit by whales.
The spherical Sea Mud King had almost no means to resist, just being beaten passively. But the color of the mighty whale was slowly losing a layer of silt.
The lines of the Sea Mud King are very bad:
[Ah...... Don't bump it, you're too big...... I'm going to take on the shape of a whale! 】
The creatures of the sea evolved in a myriad of ways, Tang Xian originally thought that this battle was the crushing of the Sea Mud King, but he never thought that when the huge whale's body was completely covered with silt, the whale's behavior began to become very strange.
performed a series of antics and began to constantly ram the challengers outside the arena. Even provoked King's Landing, the giant whale crashed into King's Landing, and then ended up being torn alive by King's Landing.
The moment the whale was torn apart, the Kraken let out a sound of praise, and countless spectators from the sidelines also shouted.
Only then did Tang Xian remember that another highlight of the arena was the bloody battle.
Tang Xian himself would not underestimate these sea beasts, and after the battle, he would summarize the characteristics of these sea beasts.
"The Sea Mud King, who is almost immune to physical attacks, is like Xi He's experimental subject next to him, the mud man, no matter how fierce the attack is, even if it is torn apart, it can be put together like dirt. However, the Mud King has a different characteristic, and if his dirt completely covers his opponent, he may be able to perform mental manipulation. ”
Not only this battle, but almost every battle brought Tang Xian some extremely interesting information.
After a few battles, Tang Xian confirmed that the Kraken was actually controlling the duel order in the background. Because there are several consecutive games, they are all duels below the top 50. There is not a single one in the top 50.
Tang Xian didn't feel bored, he guessed that like the King of Sea Mud, there must be a few people who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. Since the rules of the arena have lasted for hundreds of years, it is enough to show that the ranking is only a reference, and the final combat power can only be known after the real battle.
But those sea beasts at the top of the rankings are already impatient to see a powerful duel,
This impatience became even more violent under the influence of the red crystals.
The Kraken was also accustomed to this scene for a long time, and after seventeen consecutive low-ranking battles, the Kraken finally lined up a top-notch duel, and the atmosphere in the entire arena instantly boiled.
Even Tang Xian didn't think of it...... That Red Emperor or Kraken would actually arrange it like this.
"It seems that I still care about this dark horse, so anxious to verify."
King's Landing, which ranked third, was read by the Kraken, and all the sea beasts who were jealous of King's Landing gloated. Because according to the rules, King's Landing can only challenge the first and second places.
They were the strongest peerless beasts in the deep sea, and in their eyes, this was the battle that the strong weakened each other.
Tang Xian was also very curious about what kind of strength the new court presiding judge had.
