The much-anticipated new competition, the first day of the official schedule. Ω.Ω
The huge main venue was already crowded and full, and in order to exchange for a ticket to enter, some unscrupulous monopoly merchants even speculated the price dozens of times. But even so, it is still hard to get a ticket, and many people try their best to get a ticket to see this extraordinary first game.
A brand-new match, and it is also a duel between the two sides personally drawn by the Snow Dragon Empire Emperor Sima Haiwei, the Imperial Academy team that symbolizes the imperial lineage, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, which marks the power of the sect and is also one of the eight famous sects.
In this game, the gimmick is enough. Even in the main venue, you can't directly witness this much-anticipated event, you can only see the distant scene into the void through a special huge spiritual artifact, and you can see it indirectly through the floating scene like a mirage.
However, because of this, it attracted more people's curiosity, and for a while, the streets and alleys in the empire were talking endlessly.
As a team handpicked by the Lord of the Empire, Ning Yue and his party did not arrive at the arena early, but only arrived less than half an hour before the game. They have already discussed that in order to test the resilience of each contestant in the same way, the empire is not allowed to enter the venue in advance before the competition to check, there is no need to go too early and waste time there pondering. It's better to simply sleep more time to recharge your energy.
But when they arrived, they suddenly realized that they had completely ignored the fact that the gimmicky arena was taken from the forest itself, which was actually a little different from what they had thought.
"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
Looking up at a tower-like building towering in the forest, Ning Yue was so shocked for a while that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, why didn't he have such a thing in the Xinghai Forest before.
Although the forest is said to have existed for thousands of years, some of the towering trees are also more than 1,000 years old, and they stand luxuriantly and erect, with a height of more than 100 meters, enough to hide the behemoth of the main venue. But the tall tower in front of me is still above all the towering trees around it, and it stands to reason that it will be ignored from the outside.
The only explanation seems to be that when I passed by the roadside at the beginning, it was not far enough from the Xinghai Forest, and due to the angle problem, I couldn't see the tall tower standing in the forest.
Twilight Yinyin was also shocked, but at the same time she was also thinking, and soon, she stepped forward a few steps in front of everyone, turned around and said, "If you guessed correctly, the spiritual artifact that can transmit distant scenes in the main venue should be very huge, and this tower is what it carries." In addition, there is no reason why the Empire would feel comfortable with placing the arena in an environment that can only be monitored remotely, so some necessary close proximity is also needed...... I mean, a relatively close observation position. As well as, special guests will be seated to watch the game. ”
This explanation works. But for us now, is it the wrong focus? It's good to have a good relaxed mindset, but at this point, don't distract yourself from the rest of the world. When this one is over, we'll have a lot of time to come back and visit again. ”
Fang Huanlan hurriedly reminded her, and then signaled to the fast hunter who was guiding them, indicating that she was ready to officially enter the arena.
Chang Xuanxuan responded: "That's right, when the time comes, we will have the opportunity to come back and guess." However, I regret that I didn't run into our enemies on the road. It seems that in this new competition, the empire deliberately did not let each team meet before the official showdown. ”
"Anyway, I'll see it later, what are you anxious about?"
Passing past a few people, Xiao Ao didn't care. For him, more interest will come from the game itself than elsewhere. Even if this matchup is doomed, the core of the team is not destined to revolve around him.
The entrance was indeed on the walls of the tower, but it was only to provide them with a way through, not a staircase. After penetrating, the group returned to the forest again, and what they saw in front of them was still a lush green plant, but compared to what they had seen before, it felt faintly different.
To be precise, it seems that the area around that circle of woods has been deliberately cleaned up and isolated as a stage for this time.
Looking in from the periphery, it is also difficult to see because of the cover of the branches and leaves.
Suddenly, Twilight Yinyin reacted to something, hurriedly looked back, and immediately snorted and smiled, "Sure enough, it's about the same as I guessed." ”
Suddenly, everyone turned their heads, their eyes quickly looked up, and they saw that on the stone wall of the tower facing this side, there was a crystal shine everywhere, as if there were a large number of solitary mirrors embedded in the wall. However, those mirrors could not clearly reflect their figures.
"What was wrong was not just the isolation of the woods in front of us, but also the light. It stands to reason that in the depths of such a forest, there could not be such a bright light that penetrates from all sides. The spirit weapon in the tower that transmits the scene here, and at the same time replenishes the light here. It's a wonderful design, but I never thought that such a huge project, my brother-in-law would actually be used in the arena of the cutting-edge competition. ”
As she explained, Twilight's fingers continued to rise upward, and finally stopped at the top of the tower.
"I'm afraid it's a VIP seat, and you can look down on the arena from the air. I'm afraid it's not easy to see clearly from such a long distance and the cover of the trees, that is to say, ......"
"Ahem, twilight, you forgot what I just said? Serious matter, entered. No, you don't need to enter."
With a light punch on Twilight Yinyin's head, Fang Huanlan shook her head helplessly, and then turned around and walked towards the woods in front of her first. When passing by Ning Yue's side, the two couldn't help but look at each other for a moment. Needless to say, the tacit understanding that they quickly formed between them already let them know what the other party wanted to say.
At the entrance, Twilight Yinyin and Lin Mo were left behind, this was a five-on-five team battle, and the two of them were defeated.
Even if the forest was isolated and some of the components of the huge spirit artifact were hidden, it would be impossible to tell from the surrounding scene that this was actually the inside of the arena without knowing it after entering.
"The scene is taken directly from nature, deep in the dense forest...... Sima Haiwei, your creative thinking is amazing. ”
Secretly sighed in his heart, Ning Yue didn't have the extra effort to put his mind on this for too long. Because under the cover of the foliage in front of him, he also saw another waiting figure.
It was not a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but another Hunter, and the badge was also marked by the rank of captain. There is only one possibility for him to appear in this position, and the team of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate is the one he led the way here.
However, when they got close to that person, none of the five people selected to fight this time, including Ning Yue, sensed the hiding place of the opposite team from all around.
"Don't look at it, they won't be waiting for you here. Of course, there are also people who watch them and are not allowed to secretly observe the opponent's movements just because they arrived first. ”
The captain of the Hunting Brigade who was waiting there spoke, exchanged a look with the colleague leading the way, nodded, and shouted, "Imperial Academy, Valkyrie, are you ready?" ”
Suddenly, Fang Huanlan was taken aback and asked, "Wait a minute, just start like this?" ”
"Yes. There is no face-to-face, but you both need to find each other's place. Otherwise, there is no point in taking advantage of the resilience of the environment. The other party smiled playfully, and then asked the question again.
Fang Huanlan understood, looked back at her four companions, and without speaking, everyone nodded in unison.
"Imperial Academy, Valkyrie, ready."
"Good, it's game on. You should be clear about the rules, you are not allowed to kill your opponent, and you should try to minimize the damage as much as possible. We'll be watching you throughout the race. If anyone can't hold on, in order to avoid the opponent's heavy hand moves, speak in time, and allow a single person to admit defeat and withdraw from the arena without affecting the whole team. ”
As he spoke, the man turned and leaped into the woods, and soon disappeared into the foliage.
And the captain of the Hunting Brigade who came here with Ning Yue's team jumped up, landed on a horizontal branch above, sat down, didn't look at them, and said casually: "Don't care about my existence, start your battle." ”
"How?"
Fang Huanlan looked at the direction where the person had left just now, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
Ning Yue shook his head and smiled: "It's definitely not that position, so we won't leave such an obvious clue for us, and the direction we came from is naturally impossible." ”
"However, there are still many options left." Ji Qian whispered, looking around with some vigilance.
Hearing this, Xiao Ao smiled fiercely: "Yes, there are many options left. However, we were able to find a lot of clues. Each forest has its own form, and any intrusion by outsiders will leave a mark, especially if there are quite a few people. Who is the hunter and who is the prey depends on their own ability. ”
Chang Xuanxuan slapped him and agreed: "That's what it means." For this point, among the five people we fought this time, I am afraid that Ji Qianyou has relatively little experience. Everyone else, they are masters of hunting games. There are some things that cannot be learned in the academy. Now, let's show you how? ”
Suddenly, Ning Yue raised his hand to signal everyone to silence, and turned his head slightly to look at the front left, his movements were extremely careful, as if he was afraid of making any more noise, so that the hidden lurkers who were also paying attention to the changes around him would be aware of it.
The wind came through the trees, the leaves trembled slightly, and the sound of small trembling filled the wind. In the same way, it also brought a few strange movements.
His right hand was quickly held on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and Ning Yue brought both the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword and the Blue Steel Slender Sword with him this time, and inserted them diagonally on the side of his belt side by side. At this moment, what he was holding was the green steel slender sword.
The trump card is not thrown out when you meet.
Carefully approaching the front step by step, his movements were extremely delicate, as light as possible.
Squeak.
As expected by everyone, a subtle crisp breaking sound sounded without warning, Ning Yue subconsciously looked down, and his left foot, which was stepping on the layers of dead leaves, seemed to feel a small bulge below.
A short branch hidden under the dead leaves was trampled off by him.
In an instant, his face changed, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked forward again. Actually, it's not about looking, it's about listening. He could feel a wind approaching. However, the moment when he was almost about to emerge from the jungle suddenly stopped, and dissipated without a trace.
A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and Ning Yue no longer restrained his movements, stood up, and stomped back.
Seeing this, Ji Qianyou muttered in a low voice: "Hey, didn't you say that you would demonstrate it?" There's no need to make a mistake, just stop halfway, right? ”
"It's not halfway, it's that it's no longer necessary. They have come. ”
Fang Huanlan let out a deep sigh, jumped to Ning Yue's side, and looked up at several branches in front of him.
Under the cover of the slightly trembling branches and leaves, several black shadows hiding in them moved instantly, and the whistling sharp sword blades slashed down in the air.
The new competition has officially begun!
