Chapter 52: Skull Island

Two days later, the finals of the Silver Dragon Private Mecha Fighting Competition officially began.

More than 600 colonial stars from the entire Southeast Star Domain participated in the selection, and a total of more than 68,300 people participated in this competition. The scale of the competition is unprecedented, and it can be said to be the most extensive and the largest number of participants in the history of any private mech fighting competition.

In the past few days, many contestants have come one after another on interstellar transport ships, and a large number of reporters and spectators have also poured into Cachino. This planet, which originally gathered a large number of cultivators and mercenaries due to the invasion of the beast tide, became more lively.

This massive private mecha fighting tournament will begin the first round of the Grand Final on a huge island in Cachino.

Because of the large number of participants, it completely exceeded the scale of previous historical events. If the selection continues to be conducted in one-on-one rings, it is unknown how many of the nearly 70,000 contestants will be able to determine the winner.

Therefore, the Beran family, as the organizer of the competition, chose another way to compete with the competition - wild melee.

Drop all the contestants and their mechs on a deserted island, then let them compete for the right place. As long as the promotion conditions stipulated by the organizer can be met in the end, you can enter the next round of the competition.

And this so-called qualifying condition is that you need to get more than 20 flying spirit balls.

The Flying Spirit Ball is a free-moving monitor, which looks like a round ball with bat wings, equipped with a simple crystal brain control system and monitoring crystal eye, and can carry out some surveillance and reconnaissance work according to the specified procedures. For example, instead of humans, it will explore some dangerous secret places, mines, etc.

To put it bluntly, this is a miniature monitor that flies autonomously!

The flying spirit ball used in this competition is relatively high-end. In addition to being able to transmit the monitored images back to the control center, the crystal brain intelligence inside the flying spirit ball can also make some more complex judgments according to the pre-designed spiritual program.

The rules of the game are actually quite simple. Before the match, each mech will be equipped with a spirit orb. The game is to defeat the opponent and capture the opponent's Flying Spirit Orb, and the mecha that loses the Flying Spirit Ball will be eliminated directly.

Once you have obtained more than 20 Flying Spirit Orbs and are able to keep these 20 Flying Spirit Orbs for 10 minutes without being snatched by other competitors, you will be considered to be promoted.

In other words, out of the more than 68,000 participants, in the best case, only more than 200 will eventually advance to the next round.

The elimination rate is very high, and the competition is not fierce.

In the field melee competition, in addition to testing the strength of the pilots themselves, it is also necessary to test the comprehensive strength of the pilots in various aspects such as observation ability, adaptability, judgment ability, and escape ability.

It even includes the team organization skills of the contestants. After all, no matter how strong an individual is, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and if you meet a powerful team, you may not be able to win. Therefore, in the melee mode of tens of thousands of people, it is very likely that there will be alliances and cooperation.

In addition, some special conditions and restrictions have been added to this competition, which also adds a lot of difficulties to the competition.

For this unique way of competition, both the audience and the contestants are full of curiosity and expectation.

There are even quite a few contestants who are already eager to try it. They know very well that their own strength is not outstanding, and if they compete in the ring, it will be difficult for them to advance. But competing in this way of melee is full of unknowns and surprises. There should be no less such things as black hands knocking on stuffy sticks. "Sandpipers and mussels compete, fishermen profit", "praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches behind" and other situations may also occur.

There is a certain element of luck in this, and it is not possible to advance smoothly if you are strong. Who will have the last laugh, maybe they can't tell!

………………

On August 15, 3000, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, eight giant transport ships transported more than 68,000 contestants and their mechs to a huge desert island in the sea east of Qinghai City.

This deserted island resembles a skull, hence the name Skull Island.

Because the island has no special mineral resources, coupled with the distance from the mainland and many other reasons, it has been abandoned and undeveloped.

However, Skull Island is full of dense forests and swamps, desert hills, lakes and lava rocks and other peculiar landforms, and the terrestrial environment is very complex.

In the first round of the finals, Skull Island was chosen to be held, and the desert island was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of mecha in melee combat at the same time. Second, it is deserted, there is no need to evacuate the crowd, and it is convenient to compete.

It's a great place to compete.

Skull Island is just a temporary arena, and naturally there are no spectator seats, so a large number of spectators cannot be present in person, so they can only watch the live video broadcast of the competition through dozens of huge screens built in the Wanhui Stadium in Qinghai City, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

As far as the eye can see, the turquoise waters stretch like emerald to the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance.

Skull Island is like a giant whale, floating quietly on the surface of the sea.

Eight transport ships were suspended in the sky of the eight directions of Skull Island, and countless surveillance flying magic weapons had been scattered throughout Skull Island.

For this competition, the Beran family did not hesitate to invest their blood. Not only did he use eight giant transport ships and purchase a large number of magic weapons and utensils, but he also hired three Yuanying powerhouses who had intersections with the Bolan family to watch the battle.

Although these three Yuanying powerhouses are ostensibly here to watch the battle, they are actually to protect the lives of the contestants.

After all, in the wilderness, there may be some unexpected accidents at any time.

With the spiritual sense coverage and teleportation ability of the three primordial infant powerhouses, the entire skeleton was under their surveillance, and as long as there was an emergency, the three of them could quickly rush to the scene to deal with it.

However, participants will sign an accident liability agreement with the organizer beforehand. However, as the organizer, if the protective measures are not done well and there is an accident in the process of the competition, it is also necessary to bear certain responsibilities.

Of course, inviting the three Yuanying powerhouses to come over does not rule out the element of hype and publicity. With the witness of the strong people, at least it can be explained to the outside world that this competition is fair and just.

After all, the strong people whose strength has reached the level of Yuan Ying are more cherished of their faces. Once a shady scandal breaks out in this competition, first of all, these three Yuanying monks will not be able to lose face, and they will take the initiative to settle accounts with the Bolan family.

So give the Blans family a hundred guts, and don't dare to cheat in the game.

The preparatory work has been completed.

At 9:30 a.m., eight giant transports opened their hatches at the same time and began dropping mechs on Skull Island.
