Chapter 621: The First Round of the Competition
"It's a repeater adventure group, and a note orphan adventure group!"
Among the contestants, there were people who recognized their identities.
These two adventure groups are still well-known in central China.
After all, Liu Jisheng and Fu Dusheng are both frequent visitors to the Central China Cup, especially the Zhu Gusheng Adventure Group, which is a model of explosive soldiers, which is very impressive.
"Why did the seniors come here?"
"And it's two teams."
"Are you looking for an alliance from us?"
People who don't know each other are skeptical at this time.
Then, they saw that Liu Jisheng and Fu Dusheng both walked in front of Li Pu.
“?” xn
This made everyone even more confused.
Could it be that the two teams of seniors want to recruit this lame young man?
No way?
"Junior, let's be in the alliance." x2
Sure enough, as soon as the two representatives opened their mouths, they invited Li Pu.
"Wow! What an invitation to him! ”
"Did they give up the alliance in the senior group and come to the alliance with the newcomers, and it's still a single team!"
"What is there to pay attention to about this guy?"
No one will think that the two teams want to promote Li Pu just because of the word junior.
This is a qualifier, not a place to do favors.
It's too weak, but it's going to be eliminated.
Only those with equal strength will invite an alliance.
However, how did they know that Liu Jisheng and Fu Dusheng even felt that they were a little bit high-level.
Not to mention that team of strange summoned beasts, even Li Pu is alone, maybe it is enough to compare to a team of summoned beasts.
This league format is simply too much to their liking.
Such a monster player, if you don't pull it in, will you still let it be an opponent?
"Okay, senior."
Li Pu's nod made the two of them overjoyed.
Now, it seems that it is very stable until the dismantling of the alliance.
30 minutes of team time, soon arrived.
As soon as it was over, several people in suits and leather shoes and sunglasses walked out.
One of the women seemed to be their leader.
"Hello guys."
"Our referee team for this competition is responsible for the determination of the entire qualifying round."
"I'm the team's chief referee, you can call me Referee Wang."
Referee Wang asked the team to take stock of the league.
A total of 114 teams were present, making up exactly 38 alliances, and no team was left behind.
"Now, please come with me."
"We're about to have a real first race."
Referee Wang then motioned for everyone to follow, and then turned around.
Such a move caused whispers from everyone.
"So fast?"
"Are you catching up with something?"
"Otherwise, you think you're here for a vacation?"
"It's okay or not, hurry up and finish a matter on your mind."
The referee team turned a deaf ear to all kinds of remarks.
The base is an underground building, and after Judge Wang swiped the security card, a steel door opened, revealing a spacious underground staircase.
However, the player who walked in front had just stepped on the stairs when he suddenly trembled.
The breath, the almost suffocating aura of a powerful demonic beast, rushed to the face.
Most of them have solemn faces.
No one would doubt the security of the base, but the aura of this demonic beast was too formidable, and it was the first time for them to experience this level of intensity, and it was difficult to adapt for a while.
It felt as if someone was holding an invisible blade and slashing it across their skin, the kind that could cause damage with a little more force.
However, there are some people who have the same complexion as usual.
Most of these people are from the senior group.
"Wow, that's so high."
"It's estimated to be an 8-turn Warcraft."
"It's really a qualifying tournament, it's a big fight."
"Isn't it because we want to save our lives under the pursuit of the 8th turn demonic beast?"
Some people can even smile calmly.
And the person who said the last sentence was Liu Jisheng.
Because he remembered the scene of facing the Lord of the Holy Void more than two months ago.
At that time, the aura was even more terrifying than the current one.
At this time, even the tiger-skinned man behind him was a little uncontrollable, and his breathing became heavier, and he felt that he was being held by a knife on his neck.
"Commander......"
The tiger-skinned man was very envious of Liu Jisheng's calmness, and inadvertently glanced at Li Pu.
It turned out that this lame boy was not affected in any way, how lame he should be or how lame.
In the same scene, Yu Duoduo, the head of the regiment who was paid as an only child, also saw it.
Seriously, whether it is the tiger-skinned man or her, they are actually more or less skeptical.
wondered why Liu Jisheng and Fu Dusheng showed so much importance to Li Pu from beginning to end.
"It's kind of interesting......"
She walked behind and carefully looked at this limping figure, and now she can be regarded as a preliminary recognition of the other party.
Soon, under the leadership of the referee team, everyone walked to a gate painted with enchantment runes.
Here, the aura of the demonic beast is even stronger, and it seems that the main master is behind the gate.
"Guys, when you open the door, you'll see the venue for the first race."
"And the elimination rate in this one is 50 percent."
Referee Wang's emotionless tone made many people chuckle in their hearts.
The 50% elimination rate, which means that a total of 57 teams from 19 leagues will lose in this first round.
"Senior, is it so cruel?"
Li Pu came for the first time and looked at Liu Jisheng.
"Qualifying, how easy is it?"
"That's pretty good, in the qualifying tournament I passed, 63 out of 100 teams were killed in the first round."
Liu Jisheng smiled.
"We were even worse that time, with 80 percent of the teams falling in the first round."
"There are a couple of strong teams in it, otherwise we wouldn't have qualified that year."
Fu Dusheng and Yu Duoduo remembered not very good memories.
"According to you, 50% is already very forgiving."
Li Pu spread his hands, and there was no burden.
His goal is to be one of the last 10 teams, so whether it's 50% or 90% elimination, it's none of his business.
"Since everyone here wants to join the adventure group, of course you have to learn to face the various situations that you encounter during the adventure."
"So this first test of ability is how you deal with the pressure of the powerful demonic beast aura."
"The project in this round is to resist pressure."
Referee Wang said, putting on a special mask.
Like her, the referee team acted in unison.
Then, under her control, the door slowly opened.
Airplanes!
However, the door was only opened through a crack, and everyone saw a strong light pouring out.
"! My eyes! ”
"Ahh
"It's glaring!"
The vast majority of people who are unsuspecting have their eyesight affected.
But Li Pu is okay and unharmed.
Because [willpower] has the effect of immunity to blindness from bright light.
He had even seen the situation inside ahead of the crowd.
"Awesome, the breath is substantial?"
There are also many others who have not been affected.
"It is worthy of being a player who challenges the elite team, and he really has insight."
Referee Wang nodded appreciatively.
"So what do we need to do, kill that angel?"
Li Pu pointed inside.
"Huh? Can you see it? ”
Referee Wang under the mask was stunned.
The other referees were also secretly surprised.
It seems that he is a guy who knows how to do children's arts, and he can actually see the existence of that demonic beast with the naked eye.
"No, it's not your enemy."
But since a contestant asked, Referee Wang could only answer.
Originally, she didn't want to explain so much.
"The Angel of Sin, it is said to be a magical S-class 6-turn ghostly magical beast that fell from the 8th turn of degeneration."
"One of the best ways this monster is to manipulate the breath."
"But don't worry, it's friendly and won't attack you."
"And the content of this round of competition is to see who lasts longer in its breath field."
"In this round, only summoners are allowed to play, no summoned beasts can be carried, and no mutual attacks or malicious interference are allowed."
"If 3 people leave, the league will be eliminated."
"The first 19 leagues to be eliminated, unfortunately, you stopped there this year."
With the introduction of Referee Wang, the door was completely opened.
The summoner is the commander of the summoned beast, so it is a necessary ability for adventurers to take command without being affected by the breath of the demonic beast.
The previous light had now completely converged, revealing a rather spacious training ground.
The training ground was empty, but the walls were strangely colored, as if they had been painted with a special paint.
The point is that the aura, which was very strong just now, has suddenly increased at least doubled.
There are some players who can't bear it very well, and the shaking amplitude of the body increases.
These people are basically destined to be eliminated.
"What angel? Where is it? ”
"Why didn't I see it?"
"The breath is so strong that you can't even sense the source."
"I seem to see it, it's just a bit of a lake."
The players who are relatively able to bear it have already begun to observe at this time.
Only someone like Li Pu who has opened a child's magic summoner skill such as [True Vision] can see the appearance of that magical beast.
It was an angel with a ghostly nature, and it was highly transparent.
The aura on his head was replaced by a ghostly fire.
The eyes are covered with cloth, the mouth is stitched up, and the head is lowered.
The hands were tied in the shape of a cross, and the eight pairs of wings were mutilated, especially two wings that were almost broken at the root.
Rather than saying that it was a kind of magical beast that was friendly and didn't attack people, Li Pu felt that it was more like it didn't have the strength to attack people.
"Alright, now please go inside the premises."
"Then the competition begins."
"It's also a test of willpower."
"Those who want to hold on don't have to worry, we have the most professional medical team here."
At the signal of Referee Wang, the referee team began to distribute the special masks.
As soon as the mask was put on, it felt like the influence of the aura was weakened to a minimum.
So everyone walked in one after another and took their seats, and after the referee gave the order, they took off their masks at the same time.
As a result, someone tried to play a clever trick and try to delay his support time when taking off his mask, but he was immediately punished for leaving, and was slashed by his allies with a thousand knives.
"Every 5 minutes, the breath will increase."
"It won't stop until the 19 leagues that have been eliminated are determined."
"Now, let's start with the first wave of enhancement."
"Good luck guys."
As Referee Wang's words fell, the door began to slowly close again.
Airplanes!
As the gate closed completely, the aura on the field immediately became stronger.
And it bounced off the walls of that special paint, striking from all directions.
Li Pu could feel that every pore of the skin seemed to have a root aimed at it, and it felt like it was about to be inserted into the skin at any time.
However, he was a person who had directly faced the 8th rank of the Lord of the Demonic Beast Holy Void, so he was still able to deal with it calmly at this time.
Looking at the other people in the alliance, except for the tiger skin man's face that was a little ugly, everyone else also had relatively flat expressions.
"Guys, we'd better form a formation."
At this time, Yu Duoduo opened his mouth to propose.
Now that the alliance is formed, each of them is not an independent individual.
As Mustache said earlier, this year's theme is collaboration.
Li Pu understood what the other party meant.
If you stand in a huddle, the breath pressure on everyone will be smaller, because all other sources will be borne by the allies.
"I'm sorry, everyone, but it looks like I'm going to have to be in the middle."
The tiger-skinned man is still very objective in his perception of himself, and he takes the initiative to show weakness.
The man in the middle is the least pressed, and the longer he can hold out, the better it will be for the Alliance.
After all, unlike other alliances, there are only five of them here.
The other four agreed to his proposal.
So with the tiger skin man as the center, they sat tightly together.
Li Pu, Liu Jisheng, Fu Dusheng, and Yu Duoduo blocked four aspects respectively.
As soon as the formation was formed, Li Pu felt that the aura he had suffered had weakened by at least half.
The tiger man is more comfortable, and his pressure is directly reduced to 1/3 of the original.
The rest of the coalitions have taken a similar approach.
Some alliances even have enchantment divisions, and they have established anti-pressure enchantments on the spot, which seems to be quite effective.
Inspired by other alliances, Fu Dusheng also threw out the [barrier] to envelop everyone, and the pressure was lowered by half a notch again.
I don't know which alliance took the lead first, but in short, the alliances present followed suit and hugged together.
The first 5 minutes were spent safely.
But by the second 5 minutes, some players had already begun to turn pale and tremble.
Even if his teammates in the alliance helped, he couldn't bear it in the end, and fell to the ground unconscious.
This is the first time Li Pu has seen someone unconscious because of the breath of a demonic beast, and the picture of twitching and foaming at the mouth is still a little scary.
Fortunately, a robotic arm soon fell from the ceiling of the field, fished it out, and rescued the sea of suffering.
With the first, soon there will be a second.
The players began to be eliminated one after another.
In the fourth 5 minutes, the first league to be eliminated appeared.
In the fifth 5 minutes, two more leagues were eliminated.
In the sixth, five minutes, nine leagues were eliminated.
The cumulative number of eliminations has reached twelve.
Some of the leagues are not very even, or some of them usually neglect their own training.
What surprised Li Pu the most was that when he came, the alliance of 4201+ mustaches on the bus was gone.
The mustache himself was fine, but three allies, including the two men from 4201, were eliminated.
Before leaving, he saw Li Pu sitting there with his knees held as if nothing had happened, and he was surprised and helpless, so he could only wave his hand and say hello and then follow the rest of the alliance to leave.
Seeing that the number of elimination alliances is getting closer and closer to the end line, Li Pu wonders if it is time for him to act.
