Chapter 459: The Beginning of the Absurd

Five days later.

The battle for the Grandmaster of the River of Distress has finally come to an end.

Of the twenty winners who won the Ring of the Grandmaster, half were new Grandmasters, and even excluding the two Grandmasters who died in the Doomsday Mission, there were still eight Grandmasters who failed to defend their titles.

The reason for such a big change.

Because more than ten years have passed since the last Doomsday War.

According to the time that Level 3 Scourge Destroyers can perform a disaster mission once a year.

After such a long time, it is enough for many rising stars to grow up and challenge the older generation of grandmasters who have stagnated or even regressed in their basic skills, and replace them.

The good news is that Grandmaster Hanayama successfully defended his title.

One by one, the rings of dark gold quality grandmasters, which symbolize the highest honor of the gathering place, have fallen into the hands of the new generation of grandmasters.

But it would be a mistake to think that these Grandmaster Rings are just a symbol of honor.

Each Grandmaster's Ring adds a unique super attribute to the position of the Grandmaster it represents, and it is also the only third accessory that the Scourge can wear before being promoted to the Scourge Monarch.

Because if you want to create the Grandmaster's Ring, it is also one of the promotion conditions for the Scourge Lords.

This is an extremely precious resource, and it takes a great deal of effort from the Scourge Lords to have a chance to collect it, and then forge it through the Evil God City in the Forge District to forge the Grandmaster's Ring needed to build a gathering place.

In a word.

The Grandmaster's Ring itself can already be regarded as a technology unique to the Calamity World.

This is a super item that is beyond the scope of the saboteur's strength forged with materials far beyond the realm of the saboteur at the expense of reducing the properties of the material itself.

Of course.

Although it is also the ring of the Grandmaster, there seems to be no difference between high and low, but because of the different preferences of the natural disasters, it is divided into popular grandmasters and unpopular grandmasters.

Among them, there are naturally more competitors for popular grandmasters.

As for unpopular grandmasters, there are many fewer competitors.

After all, natural disasters tend to prefer the more direct blessing of violent attributes, and the likes of trap grandmasters, footwork grandmasters, and jumping grandmasters are undoubtedly super unpopular grandmasters, and the competitive pressure is much less.

Soon.

The ceremony of inheriting the Grandmaster's Ring, which was watched by thousands of people in the square, ended, and many onlookers dispersed one after another.

But these new generations of grandmasters know.

This Grandmaster honor is only temporary.

Because soon, they will usher in the second doomsday mission of the gathering place, and then a new round of the Grandmaster battle, but the specific mission objectives have not yet been made public.

……

The battle for the Grandmaster has come to an end.

Next up is the Doomsday Reward Tournament for the Booster Division.

Although the specific rules are different from those of the Predator, the competition of the Enhancers is also to go to the Shadow Fragment World, but the area of the fragment is larger than that of the Predator group.

The world of shadow fragments seems to be made up of countless fragments.

The Predator Division's Doomsday Reward Contest is played in the smallest of shards.

Chen Mo naturally came to the square and blessed the members of the six-color team.

After all, whether it is for the friendship between the two sides, or for the actual benefits brought by the large amount of equipment and props consigned by the Six Color Squadron in the club, it is worth his heart.

"Although Obsidian has unlimited potential, after all, the promotion time is still short, and a large part of my energy is also wasted in the academy, participating in this competition is just symbolic, White Dragon, Orange and Yellow have some opportunities!"

Qinghong can be described as quite modest.

Obsidian seems to agree, but he doesn't regret it.

Compared to the amount of time I spent "wasting" in the predator's nest, it was worth it to be with my loved ones now.

He looked at Chen Mo and admonished.

"This kind of welfare system competition, although the rules are designed to be very safe, you can subjectively leave the arena at any time, and you can also passively return when you suffer a fatal blow, but this does not mean that it is 100% safe, just like the battle for the grandmaster, there will always be some accidents every time, you have to be careful."

"I see."

Chen Mo has also learned the relevant information through Lei Wu.

Most of the reasons for these so-called accidents are that the victims have no time to react, and they are killed in an instant from a full state.

And in the judgment of the light brain data system.

The last moment it was still absolutely safe, but the next moment it was suddenly killed, and naturally it couldn't be passively teleported away.

Chen Mo is no stranger to the so-called accidents in the disaster world.

As early as his academy days, he had already deeply understood the rules of survival in the disaster world.

If a student can't even ask for help, he is killed by the other party, for such a weak person, the disaster world has never sympathized, only disgusted.

These students are usually dealt with as suicidal and will not be pursued by the academy at all.

……

Two days later.

The Doomsday Reward Tournament for the Booster Division is over, and the Doomsday Reward Tournament for the Predator Division has officially begun.

Groups of Scourge swarmed into the stone tablet portal in the square.

At this moment, the stele portal exudes a strange magic.

It is shrouded in a fog, and predators tend to disappear as soon as they approach, seemingly not being carried away by a stone portal, but entering a window somewhere.

Chen Mo was inconspicuous among the predators who were constantly flocking to the square.

The vast majority of the predators who participated in this competition were in the mood of joining in the fun.

Anyway, even if you are eliminated immediately after entering, there is a guaranteed reward for the Scourge Monarch, so why not?

But there are also predators with strong ambition in their eyes!

After a burst of dazzling white light, Chen Mo came to a gray temporary space.

Hint: Heading to the world of Shadow Shards.

Hint: The Shadow Worlds are dying out and have been split into countless pieces, inhabited by countless shadows that once terrified many worlds, for which the ancient Scourge were handsomely rewarded.

Tip: Your task is limited to 48 hours.

Tip: After you enter the Shadow Shard, you can earn 1 Shard Points, and then you can return to the Calamity World at any time, and returning early will reduce the Shard Points income by half.

Tip: You can spend 100 points inside Shadow Shards to travel to other Shadow Shards.

Hint: You're about to arrive at the Shadow Fragment, which is a moderately dangerous Shadow Fragment with an area of 32 square kilometers, which is a small area, and the number of Scourge people teleported here is 2,747, which is a very large number.

Hint: Find the power of the Scourge to defeat fear!

"The power to defeat fear?"

Accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness in the fall, Chen Mo instinctively struggled up, as if he wanted to hold on to everything around him while riding a roller coaster.

The next moment.

He actually appeared under the warm water.

Goo, goo, goo......

The slightly viscous moisture poured into his nasal passages, causing him to instinctively hold his breath and try to swim after choking.

However, a translucent mucous membrane appeared on the surface of the water, blocking his path.

Chen Mo in the water tried to remove this translucent film.

He found that this translucent film was extremely tough, and he couldn't remove it at all, so the purple-black sword light in his sleeve flashed, and the evil sword flashed away, tearing this film apart.

"Ahem!"

Chen Mo, who broke out of the membrane restraints, coughed up the liquid in his throat, took a big breath of fresh air, and instinctively looked at the surrounding environment.

Then he was dumbfounded.

As in the Calamity World, the sky here is gray, with no sun, moon or stars.

Surrounded by a hazy black fog, his vision was only about two or three hundred meters away, and because it seemed to be a forest, a large number of strange vegetation blocked his vision.

Shrouded in these black fogs, the vegetation looks a little blurry.

In front of him was a towering tree.

The large tree was purple-black, with a dense canopy on it, and the sky could not be seen, and the ground was shrouded in mist, and he was at least more than a hundred meters above the ground, as if he could not see clearly in the bottomless abyss.

The trunk of the tree, like the skin of some kind of mollusk creature, constantly and regularly wriggling.

At this moment, the place he was in was not a pond at all, but the top of this big tree, inside a fruit that resembled a fish bubble!

"This?"

In the blurred black fog in the distance, there were strange cries from time to time, and there was also a sound similar to the breaking of trees, and countless rattans fell vertically, falling to the bottom of the ground where they could not be seen.

Crash.

At this moment, the fish-bubble-like "fruit" that Chen Mo was in was very huge, five or six meters long, and the inside was filled with a thick green liquid.

After it was pierced by Chen Mo's evil sword, the liquid inside kept flowing out and fell to the ground.

The fishy smell on his body made Chen Mo frown involuntarily.

He never imagined that he would come to a strange world in such a strange way, and the dark, terrifying, and oppressive aura in the air made him instinctively vigilant.

Then.

A few soft branches, covered with fluff-like bark, wound around him.

Seeing this, Chen Mo snorted coldly.

As the sword swept by, he himself leapt from the huge ovary and landed on the trunk of a nearby tree.

"Squeak......

The soft branches that had been cut off by Chen Mo let out a hoarse scream, and a large amount of green liquid flowed from the wound.

The liquid was sprinkled everywhere like animal blood.

But fortunately, these liquids do not have a special smell.

Then.

Seeing that there were a few more soft branches, winding around him from the other direction, Chen Mo didn't even think about it, and controlled the Evil Sword to cut off these branches again, allowing these strange branches to flow out of viscous liquid, and then painfully retreated to the air.

The thick trunk beneath his feet was still wriggling.

Chen Mo could faintly see the blood vessels inside, as well as something like countless glowing tadpoles, swimming inside.

And in other directions of the canopy of large trees, there seem to be several similar "fruits".
