Time is ticking

The weak appearance is fake, the shaky posture is fake, but the headache and the dull pain in the stomach are all real. The former made his vision a little blurry and slightly blocked his thinking than usual, while the latter was enough to make ordinary people unable to take a step, and he could have run and move forward, but at this time he could only change to a fast walk due to pain.

It's just that Liang Jingmo can't take care of so much at this time. He gritted his teeth, took the powerful flashlight in his room and illuminated the road that had already fallen into the night, and kept running towards his goal. This is the most critical round, although he can't get any information from Chi Shangxuan's impeccable demeanor like an iron block, but thanks to the influence of Danqing's words just now, he can almost confirm the strategy that Chi Shangxuan will adopt in this round.

That is to continue to specialize in neurotoxins, and strive to damage Liang Jingmo's nerves to the extent that they can affect the rest of the game within this round. This is a rather imaginative plan, and it is undoubtedly easier to weaken the mind to the point of being powerless to resist than to accumulate toxins according to the rules and destroy the body, and once this is done, the rest of the matter is just a procedure.

If it was before, Chi Shangxuan might have chosen to use other toxins for the second round, just as a test. Anyway, there was a half-day time difference between the two sides when they arrived here, and the level of intelligence and resources in his hands was completely different, so he could have nothing to fear. And as the difficulty of collecting after night increases, the problem of the gap between existing resources will become more prominent, and the dominant side does not need to rush to make a move, and it is right to observe more.

However, Danqing's sentence when he just summarized it would give him a hint. At the time, Danqing said that the reason why both players were still in the green light state in the first round was because they thought that "the materials collected this time were not lethal enough, or they were restrained to the point that they did not play 100% effective". The former reason is that the players on both sides know it in their own hearts, after all, the first round is just a temptation, and it is not yet time to amplify the move, but the latter question of "being restrained" will definitely remind him of Liang Jingmo's earth-shattering vomiting when he just held on to the wall.

Vomiting, yes, if you use this trick, you can spit out a lot of toxins before they have been digested, and although the poison still can't escape, it will undoubtedly reduce the amount of damage caused a lot. As a player on the opposite side, Chi Shangxuan obviously couldn't see the specific values before and after he vomited, but if he was, he would definitely be able to see through the truth behind his acting skills after vomiting, so as to conclude that that vomiting did play a role in detoxification.

But on the other hand, although this trick is easy to use, it cannot be used continuously, and its biggest problem is the material. Liang Jingmo noticed on the way here that although there are abundant materials to collect in this area, in general, they are still planted in different areas. Instead of dividing these poisonous weeds into areas according to their species, it mixes several poisonous weeds with different poisons into one area, and then adjoins several other areas that are also mixed.

Although there are many varieties of poisonous weeds, there are many more harmless plant species, and it is not easy to identify them from a bunch of mixed plants. And the organizers seem to think that all this is not difficult enough. It separates many plants with similar effects, and if you find a poisonous plant that contains neurotoxoids in one place, there will certainly be no other plant with similar effects in its vicinity. This certainly makes it a lot more difficult to search for specific effects.

The game stipulates that the same materials cannot be reused, so to do the same game again, you have to look for something that has similar effects but different varieties. In this regard, Chi Shangxuan came early, and he was roughly clear about the distribution of materials in this area, and it was easy to find it with half the effort, but Liang Jingmo entered the game shortly after he arrived, and the time that could be spent on the search was about an hour before the first round began.

This is, of course, not enough.

Logically speaking, Liang Jingmo used poisonous weeds that targeted the stomach and made people vomit in the first round, and he must have found some other poisonous plants around him. However, since poisonous weeds of similar nature do not live next to each other, if he wants to find a poisonous weed that can also work before the start of the second round, he will have to abandon the area he has already explored and search for other places. Considering that the light is already insufficient after dark, and the difficulty of searching has greatly increased, the thinking of a normal person should be to choose the best from the existing resources to survive this round, and even make a counterattack, what Liang Jingmo hopes at this time is that the other party can treat him as such a "normal person".

In other words, he hoped that Chi Shangxuan would think that he could no longer weaken the toxicity by "vomiting" in this round. In this way, that person will most likely feel comfortable taking out his most poisonous weapon in this round, wanting to further expand the victory while he is unable to fight back. And he can follow the plan at this time to minimize the damage that will inevitably be suffered in this round.

"But damn it, I can't find it!"

Liang Jingmo bent over with a flashlight at this time, looking for another plant with a similar effect that he only knew. There was very little time left for him, he knew, because as soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard the familiar beep overhead. That was a hint that one of the players had returned to the venue, which meant that Chi Shangxuan had just left the room with his front foot in accordance with the rules, and before his back foot left the ground, he directly turned around and rushed back, and walked directly into the venue with the pre-placed materials.

"He really doesn't plan to leave me any time." Liang Jingmo smiled bitterly. He had just said this to Danqing a few minutes earlier, and he was talking to himself again, but in a more bitter tone.

It's a simple trick that almost everyone can guess, but it works unexpectedly. If the time limit for the search is further reduced to half an hour, it is equivalent to the farthest distance that Liang Jingmo can explore, which is a place that can be reached by fifteen minutes of walking, considering that it takes a lot of time to bend down to inspect along the way, and there are actually even fewer places to walk. At this time, the precise human clock in his brain was already warning him that the time limit was approaching, but the materials in the plan had not yet found the most suitable one.

Do you want to take the risk and continue to look for a little longer, and then run back to Bo for a hand, or stop here and return immediately. Faced with such a dilemma, Liang Jingmo gritted his teeth and hesitated in place for a second, and finally shook his head hatefully, and scolded to vent his emotions.

He turned around angrily and ran at full speed in the direction of the venue. This time he didn't have the irritating poisonous weeds that got in the way, but there were a bunch of potholes that would make you fall into the mud if you accidentally stepped on it. Liang Jingmo half relied on the light of the flashlight, half relied on the memory of the time he came, it was inevitable that it was not as reliable as direct observation with the naked eye, and the center of the return was in a hurry, and he had a good chance to ping pong on the way, and when he finally stumbled into the door of the venue, his face and body were muddy, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"It's only one second away, and your biological clock is amazingly accurate, Your Excellency Liang Jingmo."

"It's just luck." Liang Jingmo smiled bitterly, and then his face changed. His smile touched several abrasions on his face, and the pain was so painful that he inevitably grinned again.

Seeing Liang Jingmo's injuries, Danqing was still expressionless, but lightly announced that the second round of the duel was about to begin, and motioned for Liang Jingmo to return to his seat and sit down. "Irregular breathing and heart rate can affect how well the toxins work." Danqing explained, "So I'll give you two minutes to find a way to even out your breathing. ”

This can be regarded as quite humane arbitration, and it can even be said to be biased towards Liang Jingmo's side, which is unfavorable. Therefore, no matter how silent Chi Shangxuan on the other side was, he couldn't help but complain at this time: "Host, I remember that there is no such article in the rules, I'm afraid it's unfair." ”

"Mr. Chi Shangxuan, since there is no such article in the rules, it means that this is where I can make an idea." Danqing responded indifferently, "Right now, both players have entered the venue, and the materials to be submitted have been placed in the designated position, just resting can't remove the toxins in the body - therefore, his rest will not have any impact on this duel, considering that this may cause time problems for the next process, I have tried to compress the time as much as possible, and have chosen a minimum time limit that is enough for his physique to recover his state, I hope you can understand." ”

Chi Shangxuan shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hand to indicate that he had no opinion. He didn't expect to be able to change the host's decision. What the rules don't say, of course, is that the host has the final say. However, his appeal may have some impact on the future of the game, and the host may be able to find a balance for him at some point from the perspective of fairness.

However, this round is not needed.

After a short break, although Liang Jingmo's breathing was still a little short and sweat was still pouring out, "Judge" Danqing still announced the start of the showdown. The first cup of poison went down to his stomach, although Chi Shangxuan's face was not obvious, his hands were uncontrollably covering his stomach. The material submitted by Liang Jingmo still seems to be working on the digestive tract!

However, Chi Shangxuan's heart did not have the slightest sense of panic or surprise. The same abdominal pain, the location of this round of pain is subtly different from the previous round, and there is no vomiting sensation from the last time, it is more like pure abdominal colic, if it is not weakened by nanotechnology, but directly eaten, this is undoubtedly a fatal poison.

He looked at Liang Jingmo on the other side, waiting for the other party to show a triumphant expression. This is his trump card, aiming for the second round when he continues to use the relatively weak poison nerve poison, hoping to overpower this side in one fell swoop.

Chi Shangxuan's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer for the first time.

It's a pity, even if you guess the category, relying on the so-called "fierce poison" that you found in a hurry, it's still a little worse.
