Chapter 247 [At the End of the Curtain] (1st Update)
Now the one in front of us is the Skull Forest, its lush appearance is really a death has nothing to do with it, but the skeletons dangling in the forest tell us very clearly that this is the Skull Forest.
For the sake of safety, everyone prepared their weapons before starting to go into the forest cautiously, but what made us strange was that those skeletons were not interested in us, at first we took the initiative to give in, and then simply passed by them, and it turned out that these skeletons completely ignored us, as long as they did not hit them, they would not cause an attack, even if it was only a few centimeters away, they could safely walk by the side.
"What's going on?" I asked Ling.
Ling shook his head, "I don't know, these skeletons may have felt our death aura and become quiet. ”
Rose said: "Anyway, everyone must be vigilant, this may just be the calm before the storm." "Boom! As soon as Rose finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and then suddenly the wind rose. Rose said strangely: "I'm not talking about this kind of storm!" ”
Rumble! There was another thunderclap in the sky, and then the rain began to fall. Fortunately, everyone is wearing the armor, except for Ling and Xiaochun who panicked and had a system error! - 0x000000008, 112619180 has nothing to do with everyone except for the change of armor.
The rain is not very heavy, but it is not small, and the woods can be used to stop the rain at first, and after a while it is all watered and useless.
The eagle dragged his cheeks and said, "The mission says let's go to the Skeleton Forest, this is already the Skeleton Forest, but what about the next hint?" ”
Rose pointed to the skeletons: "They're just hints, find out why these skeletons are so docile and you'll find the answer." ”
Bai Lang suddenly said: "I think I know what the problem is." Everyone focused their eyes all at once, and Bai Lang said slowly: "I heard a very low music sound, which seems to be a requiem." ”
"Can you get the bearing?"
"Come with me!"
The white waves were running wildly ahead, and we had to run along, and as the distance shortened, even we could hear the melodious music. The forest in front of us suddenly opened up, and a lake surrounded by trees appeared in front of us.
At the same time as we appeared at the lake, the music suddenly stopped. The tens of thousands of skeletons standing by the lake turned their heads to stare at us almost at the same time, and the situation did not seem to be very good.
"Outsiders?" In the center of the lake floats a blue water ball, on which a beautiful fairy in a royal blue gauze dress sits sideways in a languid position, holding a small harp in her left hand. It seems that this is the source of the music. Before we could speak, she said, "Do you have any tokens?" ”
"Tokens? Yes, we brought it. I quickly looked at Rose, who immediately held up the token.
The beautiful fairy nodded, then smiled and said, "You want the other half of the token, don't you?" ”
"Of course."
"Then go to the Golden Labyrinth and bring Quiman to me. Whether you invite him or use a bundle, if you bring him alive to me, you will receive the other half of the token. As she spoke, she took out the other half of the token and shook it: "Do you agree?" ”
"No problem." I immediately agreed. "Tell us the location of the Golden Labyrinth and the appearance of that Quiman."
"Over there." The fairy pointed in one direction. "Keep going and you'll see the golden labyrinth. And Quiman is a minotaur, and he is the only creature in the golden labyrinth, and everything else is gold. ”
"No problem, let's go."
Just as we rushed to the Golden Labyrinth, the audience outside also began to boil. Scanvia took the microphone and explained: "Okay, the Frost Rose Alliance has been the first to receive the task of obtaining the other half of the token, which means that the time for everyone's most anticipated treasure is up." ”
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and Silkylvia raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, but it took nearly a minute for everyone to completely subside.
Sikanvia continued: "Before we get off the chopsticks, the three of us will give you some brief introductions to make it easier for you to get off the chopsticks. ”
Kakaluka said: "First of all, let me introduce the rules of the chopstick. You can open the function menu through the ring on your hand for a while, and then enter your own amount, and the system will automatically deduct it. The time limit is 20 minutes, and if someone has not finished after 20 minutes, they will not participate in the treasure pressing activity. When all the funds are settled, all the funds will be converted centrally, and the organizer will take out another 5% of the total amount of funds entered by you to add to the money. At the end of the competition, the organizers will receive 6% of the total bankroll, and the other 94% will be used as a prize money for the winners. If more than one spectator is against the winner, the prize money will be distributed according to the proportion of the money they have earned to the team's total bankroll. If the winner of the contest does not have any of them, the spectators will receive 50% of their investment, and the rest will go to the organizers. If no one wins the contest and ends up fighting together, the funds will be returned and the 6% that the organizer has invested at the beginning will be divided equally among all the participants. ”
Lulu Kalu continued: "Okay, the rules have been introduced, now I will analyze the main tendencies of this competition. Come on, big screen. "The audience saw the scene suddenly switching to the spear god, who was running through a valley with his men." This is the No. 1 popular Holy Lance League team this time, and the American Combat Power Champion Gun God player is the captain of this team, which can be imagined to be strong. At present, they are less than 10 minutes away from the token mission, and I believe that they will receive the token mission soon. ”
The scene changed, and a team of knights was galloping across the grassland. "This is the second-seeded team, the Lancer League team from Salt Lake City, this team is excellent in overall strength, and its guild has the title of the strongest on land. They are now close to the location of the token mission. ”
________________________________________
The screen switches again, this time to an acquaintance. The team of the Second Reincarnation is working hard to cross the river, and it looks like it will be a while before it passes. "This is the team of the Shadow Society, an assassination organization, and their captain seems to be a Chinese. This team is characterized by their quick reflexes and quick response to any situation, although they are not in a good position at the moment, but I believe they still have a chance of winning the title. Well, there are only three main seed teams, and the following is an introduction to each dark horse by Sikanvia. ”
Sikanvia said: "Let me introduce you to the dark horse team that you are looking forward to. First up is the latest big hit, the Frost Rose Alliance. "We are walking through the trees." So far, they have been far ahead of the other teams, but I don't know if they will be able to keep going this way. And there is a very unfortunate news, the token mission that the Frost Rose Alliance has received is the most difficult one on their list of tasks of this difficulty, which is really a bit unlucky, but with their strength to roll, it should still be very promising. ”
The scene suddenly changed to the grassland, and this time there was only one person running. "This is the speed of the wind and lightning, although the distance is long, but his path is relatively simple, if the other team is too hot, he is likely to become the champion, if you want to try the upset, you can consider pressing him."
The picture changed again, and if I saw the characters this time, I would definitely be scared. She is the kitten No. 2, we just built the bridge together and happened to come over to us, but I didn't expect her to be on the dark horse list. Sikanvia introduced: "This little Asian girl is the third dark horse, although she has no special skills, but so far her progress has been quite fast system errors!" -0x000000008, 112619180, it is hard to guarantee that it will not become a dark horse. If she had won and you hadn't crushed her treasure, Mr. Sleepy Dragon would have died laughing. ”
Kakaluka said: "Okay, that's all for the recommendation, everyone hurry up, right?" If you want to beat other teams than the 6 teams we recommend, please use the accessibility function to check the list of teams that are still playing. In addition, I would like to remind you that your funds will be deducted from taxes before being calculated into the next funds. ”
At this time, the red moon is betting on the official funds of our guild, and the members are counting their own, and this is the activity fund of our guild under the red moon. According to my explanation, Red Moon first placed 1 crystal coin on all the teams that have not withdrawn from the game at present, this is to ensure that there will be no byes, and if there is a bargain, it will not suffer. The formal investment is a little larger. Red Moon has put more than 11 million crystal coins on our own team, and there is just a little more than 10 million crystal coins left after tax, and the tax is really ruthless!
After everyone's dismissal, everyone was shocked by the statistics, and the total amount of all funds after removing taxes was 3.79 billion crystal coins, which frightened everyone, and no one thought that it would be so much. In fact, the popularity of the major leagues is too high, and many players can't get to the scene and simply let their friends play on their behalf, and as a result, almost all of the people present represent a bunch of people, and they get more and more funds in the end.
According to the rules agreed in advance, the organizer needs to pay 5% to make up the amount. In other words, another 189.5 million crystal coins will be invested to be completed. The radio suddenly rang out, and Sikanvia said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry to inform you. Because the organizers did not expect that you invested such a large amount of money, so there is not enough money to prepare enough funds to supplement the 5% part, at present, Mr. Sleepy Dragon has gone offline to rush the value, the settlement time is delayed by 10 minutes, please watch the game first. ”
The sleepy dragon didn't expect that there would be so much money, he only prepared 150 million crystal coins, he thought it was more than enough, but who knew that it was not enough. The audience didn't have much opinion on this issue, after all, the organizers were famous for their big business, and the average person didn't doubt that they could come up with so much money.
After ten minutes, the Sleepy Dragon finally got the money, and Scanvia began broadcasting again, "Hello everyone, Mr. Sleepy Dragon has sent the money in. After deducting taxes and adding your funds, the total amount is currently 3.96 billion crystal coins. In other words, the audience who bets on the right treasure can get dividends from 3.762 billion crystal coins. ”
The number caused a boil again, but the red moon didn't react much. Ordinary people may be deceived by numbers, but Hongyue is not an ordinary person, and this economic problem can be understood at a glance. Although the winning team can have 3.762 billion Crystals to score, the first thing to consider is the hit percentage. Each team has at least tens of thousands of people pressed it, and the last point is actually not too scary, but these are enough to get the right people excited.
Red Moon specially checked the number of victories of our Frost Rose Alliance team, and it turned out to be only more than 70 million, isn't everyone optimistic about our guild? But it's okay this way, there are fewer people to press, and you can get more money if you win in the end. Of the 70 million crystal coins, our 10 million accounts for one-seventh, which means that if we succeed, we can get more than 537 million crystal coins from the 3.762 billion, which is quite a lot. Moreover, among the 70 million, in addition to our guild concentrated on more than 10 million, the members of the guild also pressed seven or eight hundred thousand crystal coins in their personal capacity.
After looking at the betting situation of our guild, Red Moon looked at the situation of several other popular teams. The betting situation of our three dark horses is similar, our team has been pressed a total of more than 70 million crystal coins, Kitten 2 has been pressed more than 30 million crystal coins, and Storm Lightning has been pressed more than 60 million crystal coins.
The focus of the bet seems to be on the three main seeds. The team of the Second Reincarnation was pressed with more than 800 million crystal coins, and in case they won, those victors are estimated to not get much money. That pure cavalry team was pressed with more than 1 billion system errors! - 0x000000008, 112619180 crystal coins, which is scary enough. The most terrifying thing is the Holy Lancer Alliance, their status in the United States is unparalleled, so there are more people who believe in their strength. Their team actually received a bet of more than 1.8 billion crystal coins, I really don't know how much money those who win can get, it is estimated that there will not be much by then.
______________________________________________
With a total of 3.96 billion yuan, these 6 teams account for about one, and all the remaining teams only receive a total of less than 50 million bets. The most puzzling thing is that there really is a team that can't receive the bet at all. Before we entered the playing field, we told Red Moon that all teams should be put into the basket, and each team except our own team should be punished, which is a means of insurance. It is said that everyone knows this method, and many people should use it, but when Red Moon checked the data, it showed that there was a team that only received a bet of 1 crystal coin, which means that this team had no one to press them except for Red Moon who pressed a crystal coin according to my request.
In order to find out the reason, Red Moon specially checked the team, and found that there was only one person in the team, and it was a player who majored in life professions. This man's name is 'Give You a Mallet', and his main profession is a heavily armed samurai, the kind of warrior who wields a plate axe and a hammer. The data shows that this guy is currently only level 401, which is below the average level. What's even more unbearable is that the evaluation given by the system in his ability evaluation is: extremely poor combat effectiveness, average luck, low speed, extremely poor agility...... and poor overall strength. In a large row of attributes, only that luck is generally the best evaluation, and the rest is not to be seen!
Red Moon switches the ring screen to the guy's position, only to see the man on the screen trying to swim across a river, and his mount is already waiting for him on the other side. Looking at his race stats floating on the screen, this guy hasn't even finished the first sign yet, and what's worse is that he's taken a completely different route than the one indicated. Either he had read the map wrong, or he didn't understand the hint at all, and the route he was taking was far from the correct goal.
After looking at this data, the system is wrong! -0x000000008, 112619180 Red Moon has only one thought, that is, that 1 crystal coin was thrown in vain. This kind of person can win the championship unless all the participating teams are dead.
Anyway, the bet was over, and everyone started to pay attention to the game again, but this time there was a little bit of differentiation. The three commentators began to explain the six main favorites separately, and the main screen was also divided into three, so that everyone could follow their favorite teams at any time. In fact, now it is different from the beginning, now everyone is more concerned about whether the team they pressed can win, and the other teams are too lazy to watch.
At this time, the spear god has already received the token mission, and their task is to destroy a small group of monsters to clear the passage between the valleys, which is much simpler than our task. But we started early, they were still on their way to the target valley, and we were already outside the Golden Labyrinth.
Standing in front of the Golden Labyrinth I had an urge, an urge to move the labyrinth in its entirety. The huge labyrinth of a small city is made entirely of gold, and what a great amount of wealth! But after a bit of experimentation, I gave up on the idea, because the walls of gold were completely invincible, and even eternity could not leave even the slightest scar on them. This must be a mission facility that prohibits destruction, otherwise there would not be such a hard thing, not to mention that gold is already very soft.
Not only is the labyrinth large, but the height of the walls is also quite terrifying. The wall is more than 10 meters high, and there is a roof on top of it, and I can't implement the idea of walking from the wall!
"Shall we go in?" Eagle Road.
Rose interrupted, "Don't worry, we have to get ready first, right?" If you go in this way, you probably won't be able to get out! ”
"What then?"
Rose took out a cloth bag and said to me, "Husband, get some wood." ”
It was weird, but I managed to get a lot of wood. Rose piles up the wood, and then asks Christina to light a fire to burn it all. When the wood burned for a while, she asked us to crush the fire with earth. At this point, I finally understood what she was going to do. The burned wood becomes charcoal, which is just right to use as a pen. We experimented with it, and these charcoals do leave a black mark on the wall, and it's fairly clear.
Rose said to us: "After entering, everyone walks separately, each of these charcoal takes a few pieces, marks the intersection or turn, draws arrows on the places you walk, and makes a cross on the arrows to confirm that it is a dead end, so that you can search the maze in a while." If you have searched all the paths you have taken, you will follow the route of others, and if you have forks, don't go over. ”
"Okay, let's do it." We each grabbed the charcoal and entered the golden maze and began a carpet search.
In the audience area, Lulu Kalu was explaining the progress of our guild: "The dark horse is indeed a dark horse, the Frost Rose Alliance has designed a very practical method to deal with this maze known as super difficulty, according to their method, as long as the luck is not too bad, you should be able to complete the task in front of the Holy Spear Alliance and get the other half of the token." ”
I made left and right turns in the maze and hit several dead ends in a row. Suddenly, I found a golden statue at an intersection, and I thought I was rich, but I knew that it was unlucky. In the golden statue was a minotaur armed with a plate axe, and as soon as I approached him, I immediately moved.
This guy is made of gold all over his body, and my weapon has an unusually poor effect on him, and it took a lot of effort to finally kill him, I thought I could pick up some gold and go back, but I didn't know that as soon as he died, he immediately regrouped and returned to the original position. I tried chopping it a few times, but it turned out to be the same as the wall, and it couldn't be cut at all!
From this golden statue, I walked several dead ends, and it turned out that this whole branch was a dead end, and there was no choice but to run back. After I finished my own route, I followed the path of someone else, followed the arrow all the way into the area of the rose, helped her check a branch to confirm that it was a dead end, and happened to run into her when I came back.
"Husband? How did you get here? ”
"I'm a dead end over there."
Rose shook her head and said, "I have one here." ”
Suddenly, Christina's voice rang out in the team's channel: "Help! I've found the target! ”
"Where are you?" Everyone's inquiries rang out in the guild channel.
"I don't know, just follow my arrows. Come on! The guy was chasing me. ”
"You take it for a while!" The eagle's voice said.
Christina's voice was choked with tears: "I don't have time to chant a spell when I'm being chased, what can I do?" ”
"Don't worry, you run to the rendezvous point first, and we'll come here. It would be nice to be able to lure him out of the labyrinth. ”
"Help! This guy attacks from a distance...... Yes...... Hush...... Almost lost his head! No way! How to run into a dead end! 5555 ~ I ran the wrong way! Hurry up! If you don't come again, you won't see me! ”
