Chapter 274: A Tough Opponent
The second event of the semi-final stage of the Adventure Team Tournament is even more peculiar than the first, called the Survival Challenge, where everyone will enter the Castama Forest outside Kastama City for a week-long survival challenge, and only within the specified time, in the Kastama Valley deep in the Castama Forest, will they be eligible to continue the competition.
In addition, at the same time as entering the Castama Primeval Forest, the free challenge begins, each adventuring team will receive a badge, before you enter the valley, you must collect three badges, each badge counts as ten points, three is exactly thirty points, more than three badges do not add points only thirty points, low with three badges, one counts as ten points, two are twenty points, if the badge is snatched by others, then immediately disqualified from continuing the game.
In order to avoid a chaotic battle at the beginning, more than 100 teams will follow different guides, according to a certain distance interval, from different positions into the Castama primeval forest, whether they can find the opponent in such a vast primeval forest, whether they can rely on the terrain to defeat the opponent, get the badge, and whether they can successfully keep the badge and reach the Castama Valley, all of this needs to be tested!
For this arrangement, no one has any objections, so there are very strict requirements for the team's survival in the wild, looking for enemies, defeating the enemy, and concealing their whereabouts, you must know ...... No matter how strong a team you are, it's impossible to defeat too many enemies in a row, and if you encounter several adventurous teams in a row, basically everyone will lose, so which team will be easy to deal with?
Moreover, the horror of the Castama primeval forest is not something that ordinary people can imagine, this is an extremely terrifying area, in the primeval forest, there are all kinds of dangerous magical beasts, if there is no certain experience, I am afraid that these magical beasts alone are enough to send them back to their hometown.
After the first two, there will be a third, but ...... The content of the competition will not be disclosed for the time being, and the content of the next level will be known after arriving in the Castama Valley, and before that, the third competition will be kept secret for the time being, and those who cannot successfully win the badge and reach the valley within the time limit have no right to know.
Finally...... All the introductions are over, the chairman of the adventure union gives an order, the lottery ceremony begins, and the captains of each adventure team walk up to the stage separately and draw a badge of their own, each badge is engraved with a number, and then ...... According to the results of the draw, the opponents will be divided randomly, and the first game of the adventure team competition will be led one by one!
The demerit of the draw, I drew the No. 14 lot, that is, the seventh game today, the order of the game is like this, from the No. 1 to the No. 2 team, the No. 2 to the No. 3 team, in turn, and we are playing against the head of the No. 13 adventure team, but I don't know, what will be the strength of the other party?
After the simple opening ceremony, the first competition in the semi-final stage of the adventure team competition finally kicked off, and the leaders of the No. 1 team and the No. 2 team walked to the field one after another, and the referee gave an order, and the game finally began!
Looking at the two captains who were fighting fiercely together, I couldn't help but shrink my neck, it was really too exaggerated, I had expected in advance that the game in the semi-final stage would be very difficult, and the strength of the opponent would be very strong, but until now I knew that their strength was even stronger than I imagined!
The two regiment commanders who fought on the field, without exception, were all S-level warriors, and the attack was so strong and the defense was tenacious that I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Time flies by, one pair after another pair of regiment commanders on the stage one by one, in the end, my confidence has been basically destroyed, the most powerful regiment commander, as far as I estimate, I am afraid that it has reached the level of SS-level, only as soon as he played, did not make three moves, he defeated an S-level regiment commander, judging from his relaxed expression, he obviously did not work hard at all, and it was rare that he was not even warmed up.
Finally, after only two hours of waiting, it was my turn to play, and the pace of the game was surprisingly fast, and the winners and losers were separated within dozens of minutes.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly stood up to the cheers of the other four rookies, lifted my cloak violently, and walked towards the arena.
Kindness?
As I slowly walked up to the arena, the next moment ...... The audience couldn't help but look at me, and from my outfit, it was difficult for them to tell what kind of martial artist I was.
Hahahaha......
The next moment...... When everyone saw the big adventure badge at my feet, the whole arena erupted in laughter, and everyone laughed back and forth.
Bitterly looked at the big adventure badge in front of my feet, looked at the lowest E-level logo on it, and looked at the two big rookie words, my mood became even heavier, this time, perhaps...... We really shouldn't have come, the other side is too strong, and we will never win the championship.
Hum!
was secretly nervous in his heart, and suddenly, a cold snort sounded from the opposite side, and when he looked up suspiciously, he saw a samurai who was shrouded in steel armor and didn't even show his eyes, striding into the ring.
Looking at the opponent's burly body, shining armor, feeling the opponent's incomparable aura, and full of confidence, my heart involuntarily began to beat faster.
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid of losing my dignity, facing such a strong opponent, the first time I ...... I have lost the confidence that I will win!
Just as he was hesitating, the steel-armored warrior on the other side smiled disdainfully, and said in a dark voice: "Hey......! Do you know who I despise the most?"
Kindness?
After listening to the other party's words, I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, I didn't know what he was talking about, what kind of person he despised, and what did it have to do with me?
Just as I was puzzled, the steel-armored warrior on the other side glanced at me with disdain, and said disdainfully: "What I despise the most is something like you, relying on your own two broken money, hiring a team of SS-level players, and then making an adventure team champion to play scumbag, I have no ability, and I rely on the hired strong team members to win infinite glory for myself, people like you are simply shameless!"
I!
Listening to the words of the steel-armored samurai, I couldn't help but open my mouth angrily, ready to refute the other party, you know...... I'm not just buying a master with money, as he said, and it's impossible for me to be bored enough to be idle and get a so-called champion to play, I'm not so boring.
It's a pity that the other party was too anxious to give me a chance to speak, and then said in a cold voice: "For you rich pigs, maybe the champion of the adventure team competition is just a decoration to decorate your façade, but do you know that for us real warriors, it is the highest honor we strive for with our lives!"
Boom!
Pulling out the giant sword at his waist, the steel-armored warrior didn't give me the slightest chance to speak, and continued with a sneer, "Now, the system of the adventure team competition has changed, I want to see how you rely on money to buy masters, and how you can face this level now!"
Finally, the self-righteous words of the Steel-Armored Samurai were finished, and he looked at the Steel-Armored Samurai opposite angrily, why did he say that I was that kind of person, although the adventure level of my adventuring group was a little lower, although my adventurous team was called a rookie, but what did this mean? Does it mean that I am one of those trash who relies on money to buy masters to participate in the competition?
"Are you finished?" I said angrily as I gritted my teeth as I looked at the steel-armored samurai on the other side.
Hum!
He gave me a disdainful look, then ...... As soon as the giant sword was crossed, the steel-armored warrior hooked his fingers at me defiantly, and said disdainfully: "I know, you will definitely refute me, and I also know that I may not be able to speak of you, but...... No matter how good you can say, the final result will not be any different, if you want to prove me wrong, then prove it to me with practical actions, just say it with your mouth, it won't work!"
Very good!
Nodding with a sneer, I slowly bent down, and after preparing for all the battles, I said in a deep voice: "As you wish, I will prove it to you with practical actions, and also prove it to others, I will use you as my stepping stone, so that everyone knows what kind of team our rookie adventure group is!"
As soon as my words fell, the steel-armored warrior hooked his fingers at me disdainfully, and said disdainfully: "In that case, then what are you waiting for? The competition has already begun, you won't just talk about kung fu, right?"
Huh?
Listening to the words of the steel-armored warrior, I couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, I shook my head and said, "Hey! It seems that you have been talking for a long time, if you want to attack, you can just let the horse attack, which one will make you wait? Standing there and verbose, like an old woman, I really doubt if you are a gentleman!"
You!
Hearing my insulting words, the steel-armored warrior finally became angry, and when the golden light shone all over his body, the steel-armored warrior laughed deeply: "For garbage like you, I won't take the initiative to attack, what if I let you attack first?"
Oh?
Yin Yin laughed, I waved my hand slightly, and said lazily: "Let me attack first......?" In order to prevent you from continuing to be verbose, then I will attack first, be careful!"
Roar!
With my words, the huge white tiger appeared in the arena violently, and with a roar in the sky, the white tiger stepped on the ground with all four feet, and locked the steel-armored warrior with a tiger's gaze!
Seeing this scene, all the audience were stunned, the adventure team competition had been held for so many worlds, but it was the first time they had seen someone use a phantom beast to fight in the ring!
It's not that the phantom beast is weak, but the problem is that with the phantom beast's weak body, in such a narrow ring, it is difficult to dodge the opponent's blow, at a distance of about 100 meters, basically, a phantom beast will definitely be killed by a mage or an archer, for the phantom beast envoy, whether it is the mage's attack or the archer's shot, it is impossible to hide!
Moreover, what the Phantom Beast makes is nothing more than the Phantom Beast himself, facing the Phantom Beast of the same level, in fact, everyone is not afraid, a sixth-order Phantom Beast is only comparable to the strength of the S-level martial artist, and there is not much threat, and the weak Phantom Beast makes himself, but it has become a fatal place, just throw a magic over, and the battle is over!
The reason why the Phantom Beast Envoy does not have any status on the continent is actually inseparable from the Phantom Beast Envoy's weak body, their body is even weaker than that of the mage, at least, the mage has a magic shield to protect himself, and the Phantom Beast Envoy is no different from ordinary people! Except for the Phantom Beast, they themselves do not have any combat skills to protect themselves.
In the face of a phantom beast envoy, the best way is not to fight with his phantom beast, but to directly kill the phantom beast envoy himself, in such a narrow ring, a weak phantom beast envoy can't avoid the pursuit of a high-level martial artist no matter what, as long as the phantom beast envoy is defeated, the phantom beast will naturally disappear.
From another point of view, the strength of a phantom beast envoy is actually the same as the strength of a martial artist, the difference is that they have a fatal flaw that other martial artists do not have, as a phantom beast envoy, they themselves are the biggest and at the same time the most fatal flaw!
Hahahaha......
After looking at the white tiger for a while, the Steel-Armored Warrior couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and in the midst of the laughter, the Steel-Armored Warrior slowly but firmly took a step towards me......
Frowning slightly, I know the plan of the steel armor warrior, he will definitely not be stupid to entangle with the white tiger, he will definitely split the white tiger and defeat me directly.
If it were a Blood Wolf, or an opponent like Mustafa, I wouldn't have cared at all, after all...... They are all just sprinkler-level warriors, and the range of their attacks is limited, so I can dodge more calmly!
But this guy on the other side is different, completely different, this guy is at least an S-level martial artist, although it is unlikely to reach the SS level, but the difference is not too far.
S-level martial artists, on the surface, are only one level higher than A-level martial artists, but in fact, in terms of energy alone, they have exceeded double, and as for the difference in experience, it is even greater, and ...... For the use of various combat skills, it has reached a considerable height, and the gap in strength is quite large.
However, even so, I will not give up lightly, not for anything else, just for what the Steel-Armored Samurai just said, I must prove myself, no matter what, I must defeat him!
Thinking of this, I waved my hand violently and suddenly ...... The blazing red Fighting Qi blade burst out of my hand with a roar, and flew towards the steel-armored samurai like lightning.
Facing the roaring Douqi Blade, the steel-armored warrior couldn't help but smile disdainfully, the giant sword in his hand was slightly horizontal, and then in a domineering sweep, the giant sword quickly met the red Douqi Blade.
Hiss......
In everyone's consciousness, such a fighting blade would definitely be swept away by the steel-armored warrior's sword, but the next moment...... At the moment before the giant sword touched the red Douqi Blade, the fiery Red Douqi Blade was unexpectedly raised, and it was unexpectedly pulled up, changing from a forward rush to an upward rush, and at the same time, it ...... Three whistling fireballs rushed towards the steel-armored warrior who was close at hand.
Boom, boom, boom......
In the violent roar, in the face of this sudden change, even the steel-armored warrior could not dodge, and had no choice but to resist with the steel armor and the fighting spirit of the body.
The loud roar quickly subsided, and soon ...... The flames from the explosion quickly receded, revealing the burly figure of the steel-armored samurai!
Woo!
When the figure of the steel-armored warrior was fully revealed, all the audience couldn't help but exclaim in unison, in the face of such a violent explosion, the steel-armored warrior stood there unharmed, not even a single hair was injured.
This......
Looking at the steel-armored warrior on the opposite side, for a while, I didn't know what to say, although Suzaku was only a third-order phantom beast, but the three violent fireballs at such a close distance didn't even hurt a single hair, this is really too exaggerated, what method do I use to defeat the opponent?
While thinking about it, the steel-armored warrior on the opposite side raised his head slightly, looked at the Vermilion Bird flying in the sky, and said disdainfully: "It's too weak, it's really too weak, it's not exciting at all, I can't get excited at all!"
At this point, the steel-armored warrior turned his head to look at me and pleaded, "Please, can you come up with some strong attacks? If this continues, how can you prove me wrong? If such an attack can hurt me, then the sun will have to hit the west!"
Roar!
Sensing the contempt of the other party, without waiting for me to speak, the white tiger roared up to the sky, and burst into flames, and the next moment...... The huge white tiger, with a jump, appeared behind the steel-armored warrior, and the volley hovered there, and the surrounding body began to exude a brilliant blue light!
Hum!
In the cold voice, the steel-armored warrior pursed his lips disdainfully, and the giant sword in his right hand stabbed sharply, and the next moment...... A golden light rushed out from the tip of the sword sharply, and slammed into the white tiger's body like lightning.
Bang!
The White Tiger's Bad Claw was only less than a quarter ready, and it was rudely interrupted, and with the attack of the Steel-Armored Samurai, it exploded into a blue light in the sky, and there was no chance to hurt the other party at all!
Roar!
However, how can the white tiger be so easy to deal with, in a roar, the blue light flashed, and the next moment...... The white tiger appeared strangely on the side of the steel-armored warrior, with a mouth open, and a sharp blue ice arrow shot towards the steel-armored warrior a few meters away like lightning.
Laugh at......
With a disdainful sneer, the steel-armored warrior raised his hand slightly, handed the sword to his left hand, and swept out with a random sword, and suddenly ...... A sharp golden light roared out and headed towards the icicle.
Zheng!
In the crisp sonorous sound, under the gaze of everyone, the golden fighting aura emitted by the steel-armored warrior easily cut the white tiger's ice arrow in half from the middle, and continued to fly unabated, submerging into the white tiger's body like lightning.
Bang!
The next moment...... The white tiger exploded into a white light in the sky again, and at the same time, the footsteps of the steel-armored warrior did not stop, step by step, and walked towards me firmly.
Roar!
No, no way, just a few steps away, the white tiger's roar rang out again, and this time, the white tiger appeared directly behind the steel-armored warrior, and in the posture of a vicious tiger pounced on the sheep, he volleyed towards the steel-armored warrior.
Bang!
Seeing that the white tiger was about to pounce on the steel-armored warrior, but the next moment, the steel-armored warrior didn't even turn around, and with a dashing back kick, he immediately kicked the white tiger's chest, and immediately ...... In the flash of blue light, the white tiger was killed again.
Come back, White Tiger!
In the face of such a relaxed attack from the other party, I finally knew what the difference in strength meant, and the White Tiger's combat skills were not insignificant, but ...... When faced with the gap between the two orders, when the opponent's strength is strong enough to reach this level, everything can be solved by relying only on the strength of the strong one.
I was aware of this problem when I was fighting Jason Terry in Maze, but the difference was that White Tiger's opponent at that time was a bulky fire dragon, so he could harass and harass the other party with his flexibility.
But this time is different, this time the opponent is too flexible, the attack is too fast, not waiting for the white tiger's attack to be in place, the opponent can rely on lightning speed, powerful energy, instantly disintegrate the white tiger's attack, and kill the white tiger, it is the same as playing, no effort at all, such an attack, the opponent can continue almost indefinitely, even if the white tiger has 100 million resurrections, the final loss must be the white tiger!
On the other hand, Suzaku is also useless, if the attack you are best at can be regarded as a tickle, then what can you do? Although you can keep harassing you, but no matter what, it is impossible to stop the other party from coming to me!
A tight frown, I knew...... So far, there are still Qinglong and Xuanwu left, Xuanwu needless to say, was killed by the wind system, although there is a counterattack this combat skill, but you must know, as a wind warrior, they rely more on speed to defeat the enemy, even if the opponent's attack is counterattacked, it is only about 2o%, and the energy in the opponent's attack is very small, most of it is used to accelerate, so I'm afraid it won't have any effect!
Now, the only thing I can rely on is Qinglong, sensing my thoughts, Qinglong's voice sounded cautiously: "Master, the other party's strength is too strong, I'm afraid I can't break through the opponent's fighting defense, the other party is also wind, the speed is very fast, and ...... The other party is wearing steel armor, unless it is shot through the eye, otherwise, it is impossible to hurt the other party, but ...... If you want to shoot accurately in the eye, this is already very difficult in itself, plus the opponent will definitely defend and dodge, this is basically an impossible task!"
Listening to Qinglong's words, my heart couldn't help but sink, looking at the steel-armored warrior approaching step by step, could it be ...... Do I have to summon the Arenas Sky Dragon......? Once I actually summoned the Arenas Sky Dragon, then for the next month, I will be a wasted person, how to face the next adventure challenges!
