Chapter 296: The Quarterfinals

Sitting in front of the host was a middle-aged man with an extremely cold appearance. The pointed eyebrows, as if two sharp knives were stuck obliquely on his face, and a pair of coffee-colored eyes were half-squinted, as if he hadn't woken up, but it was this half-squinting look that made all the subordinates standing beside him around him break out in a cold sweat.

The middle-aged man wore a helmet, and there was a golden feather inserted at the top of the helmet, the feather was very ordinary, but it represented the authority of the supreme commander of the Mentuo Plateau. There were a total of eight people around the middle-aged man, each of whom was a burly and extremely strong man, and four of them were even ugly and hideous in appearance, as if they were evil ghosts in the hell of Yama.

The strength of these eight people is not weak, and all of them are super powerhouses whose strength has stepped into the advanced cultivators. However, when they saw the middle-aged man with coffee-colored eyes squinting just now, they all felt as if their hearts were suddenly suppressed by Xiaoshan, and they suddenly felt breathless.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, he just glanced at the host quietly with this look that seemed to be dozing off, and the two strong men next to the host immediately came out of the queue in unison, and one dragged the host out of the hut while whispering: "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask." ”

It wasn't until the host was taken out of the door that the host's heart-rending screams like killing a pig came from outside the door, and the middle-aged man retracted his listless appearance, his face was straight, and his face showed a thick displeasure, without looking at the rest of his subordinates, he waved his hand directly, and said: "Tomorrow, I will directly find a newcomer from the group who is willing to perform to sit in his seat." I buried the body, and I didn't want the contestants, and the spectators, to see things that they shouldn't see. ”

"Yes, Boss!" all the remaining high-level cultivator guards immediately bowed down at the same time. They didn't dare to disobey the middle-aged man at all, and the word boss definitely came from the bottom of their hearts. Being able to cultivate to such a realm was extremely admired by these high-level cultivators, but at the same time, they were also very jealous and even afraid of the boss.

After all, the other party's strength is too much higher than their own, even if they have followed the middle-aged man for so many years, as long as they are in the same room with the middle-aged man, they will suddenly feel a powerful and incomparably powerful coercion.

For them, this coercion is too strong to resist at all, so they almost suffocate by this coercion every time they don't dare to say a word, and they have no other way than to bear it silently, after all, they have witnessed the fate of offending middle-aged men countless times, so they will not resist, and finally choose to slowly get used to this pressure.

After the middle-aged man finished explaining the matter, his expression suddenly became relaxed, and after stretching lazily, he left the conference hall and entered the bedroom.

The eight high-level cultivator guards did not dare to slack off, and respectfully watched their boss leave, until the middle-aged man left the conference room, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they realized that their backs were completely wet with sweat again.

"The boss's aura is really terrifying!Whether it's when I first entered the cultivator circle, or now, the boss is so powerful!" one of the guards sighed lightly, and whispered with a look of incomparable admiration in his eyes.

"yes. Otherwise, how could the boss sit for so long?" the other guard nodded and said.

"Do you think those contestants will succeed this time?" asked one of the ugliest and hideous-looking guards among the eight guards, frowning.

"I don't know what to do. Today is only the first day of the competition, and many players have not shown the strength to press the bottom of the box. I can't see it yet. But I see danger. Jubao Mountain is so easy to enter. The ocean on the first layer alone has already left us with no rut. Not to mention the later levels. The other guard followed up on the previous one's words, shook his head and sighed.

"Hey. If only the Wyverns of our Knights could fly into Jubao Mountain. I really don't know what the road is for, those flying dragons are afraid to go over when they see the fog outside Jubao Mountain. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have been stuck on the first layer for so many years. You can fly directly to the top of the mountain to see if there is anything the boss said on the top of Jubao Mountain. ”,

"If we can really fly directly from the outside world to the top of the mountain, then it will be our turn? I think even the boss is dangerous, have you forgotten the two old guys of the Sword Saint and the Dou Sheng?"

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the guards suddenly sank, and under the awe-inspiring gaze, they all nodded invariably, and the guard who spoke just now continued: "But thanks to those white mist outside Jubao Mountain, not only can we keep our flying dragons out, but also make the Sword Saint and Dou Sheng, the two powerhouses who are standing at the peak of the current world's realm, unable to fly in from a high altitude, which is undoubtedly not a good thing." Otherwise, how could it be our boss's turn? ”

"That's right. But do you think our plan will succeed?"

"I can't say exactly. But I at least understood what the boss was doing to prevent the boy who had killed someone from quitting the game. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on the ugliest and most hideous guard, and asked in unison, "What are you doing?"

The guard's face immediately showed an undisguised look of pride, and he chuckled lightly and said, "You are stupid. What kind of place is Jubao Mountain? It's not something that ordinary people can go. What failure did our plan fail for the first time? It was because the members of the group were too weak.

The strength that the young man showed at the moment when he shot at the end of the day has already reached the same level as us. Although there is still a long way to go before we are at the pinnacle level, if we let him join the adventure team, won't it give them another hope of success in exploring Jubaoshan? Once they succeed, then our plan will not be ......."

At this point, the guard's voice suddenly stopped and stopped talking. The guards who listened quietly to his explanation didn't ask another question, but moved in their hearts, and all of them invariably had a sinister smile on their faces, a little proud, and a little excited.

I see.

The guards didn't answer, but they all raised these four big words in their hearts, and everyone nodded silently after almost all of them looked at each other at the same time.

After one night, the earth sent away the darkness and ushered in the light again. The morning breeze blew a little cool on the face, but no one felt any chill because of the coolness of the early morning, but was more energetic and emotional. Because today, there is a second round of competition that is even more intense than yesterday.

"Now I'm announcing that Nakoruru is on the line. The host's voice sounded again, but it was no longer yesterday's person, but a different person, this host was shorter than yesterday's one in terms of appearance, but his appearance was very handsome, and he was younger than yesterday's.

As soon as he appeared, the audience fell in love with him after a beautiful introduction to himself. People's doubts about the sudden replacement of the host by the competition party also became weaker and weaker under the host's sharp hosting style, and finally dissipated unconsciously.

The young host likes to see this situation very much, unlike the previous host, in order to keep this position, and in order to make the boss impress him, he didn't bother to explain on the sidelines.

At the beginning, the audience was still a little unaccustomed, but as the game became more and more intense, the host's commentary was even more excited, and gradually, the audience was slowly infected by the host's emotions, and unconsciously began to cheer for the players they supported.

All of a sudden, the competition reached a new peak. The second day, the third day, and every other day that followed, the emotions of the audience were very high, and the players played very well.

The middle-aged man of the organizer was very satisfied with the new host, and after the young host knew the truth, the emotions of the commentary became more and more excited, and as the days passed, the audience liked this commentary more and more, but the competition gradually came to an end unconsciously.

A few days later, the quarterfinals were finally born. In the end, the eight people who can enter the Treasure Mountain are: Nakolulu the magician, Huth the archer, Balk the meat grinder, McCarthy the gladiator, Charlie the knight, Rhodes the swordsman, Julia the beast trainer, and Wuqi the lucky boy.

Among these eight people, Balk brought the greatest shock to the audience. If Nakorulu brought the audience a gorgeous visual enjoyment with gorgeous magic, and Hughes used his superb bow and arrow skills to let the audience experience what real archery is, then Balk brought the audience a domineering that exceeded their imagination. ,

What is combat? Balk taught the audience a lesson with his overbearing approach. The beginning and end of the class were exactly the same, very calm, but the process from the beginning to the end made all the audience who saw Balk's shot invariably widen their eyes, and the light in their eyes was never brighter.

Every opponent who fought against him ended up very miserable, and in the end he was either blind in one eye, or his hands and feet were crippled, and he was directly paralyzed by Balk's punch, and he couldn't stand up anymore, and a few people didn't fight with Balk, so they knelt directly on the ground like a child in front of him and cried, kneeling and begging for mercy.

What is hegemony? This is domineering. is so domineering that everyone who dares to fight against him is afraid of himself, and he has to kneel down and beg for mercy. Balk's fights completely turned the ordinary game on its head, taking it to a whole new level.

Of course, he is not the only one in the quarterfinals, after all, he is only one of the quarterfinals. If you don't fight each other, no one knows who is stronger in the end, because there is also a skill called hidden aura in this world. As long as you cultivate hard, as long as you are a cultivator, you can do it, it has nothing to do with the strength of your strength, it is just the strength of your proficiency.

Compared to the other seven, the fighter McCarthy is much inferior in combat, but there are two different players in the quarterfinals, the animal trainer Julia and the knight Charlie. Julia makes the audience feel that it is because she suddenly summons a huge white wolf out of thin air during battle.

This kind of skill has never been seen before, and most viewers have hardly heard of it, so from the beginning of Julia's appearance, the audience was full of expectations for this girl. Coupled with her naturally beautiful appearance, Julia easily won the recognition of the audience, and in the end she lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully advanced to become a member of the top eight.

If Julia feels novel, then Charlie Ren feels incredible to the audience. As a knight, Charlie has a must-have war horse under his crotch, but his war horse is different. The body size is several times larger than that of ordinary war horses. At a glance, Charlie seemed to be riding not a horse but a mammoth.

Charlie's first appearance made all the audience puzzled, such a large body could not move in this kind of ring, as long as he was not careful, he would immediately go out of bounds and be judged to lose. The audience even let out mocking laughter after Charlie appeared.

However, when they saw that Ren Charlie was driving the war horse under him, and suddenly pushed the opponent directly into the sky, Ren Charlie immediately quickly stabbed the spear in his hand, and directly stabbed the opponent in mid-air into a hole, and they found that there was a single horn on the forehead of the original horse.

After that, no one dared to laugh at Charlie again. is full of expectations for him, because being able to control such a powerful creature as his own riding pet, as long as he is not a fool, can judge that this Charlie's strength is extraordinary. Sure enough, in the end, he successfully advanced and became one of the top eight.

These are all players who make the audience's eyes shine and their hearts are excited. But not all of the top eight players are liked by the audience, and there are also annoying players, such as the swordsman Rod. Rhodes' swordsmanship can be said to be superb to a height that is almost beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the sword is not only weird, but also unimaginably fast.

Nakolulu's record for the fastest win was ten seconds, but soon after Rhodes came out, the record was set to one second. And the reason why the audience hates Rod is precisely because of this, he is too fast.

Before everyone had time to see what was going on, the host had just announced the start of the game, and in the next moment, after a flash of light in front of him, he had to awkwardly announce the end of the game, and Rhodes won. However, Rhodes didn't care about that, he just fought according to his habits. As for what others think, he doesn't bother to care.

The reason why the top eight have come so far is that they should all be super strong people, but one of these eight people is not worthy of the name. This person can be promoted to the top eight, which cannot be explained by common sense at all, and can only be said to be unreasonable. From the time he debuted, he won the lucky first day, and he won every battle after that.

Those opponents didn't know what was going on, and they all slipped away before the battle began. Either the battle has just begun, and they all have stomach pain, or they have sudden leg cramps, or even fainting immediately after the start of the game. I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, it seems that he has been favored by Lady Luck all the time, and he won inexplicably. ,

The audience naturally did not have any good impression of this lucky person, some just scolded, every time this person was inexplicably promoted, the audience would immediately hear the audience's unhappy scolding: "Is there a mistake!

Wuqi can only smile bitterly, and he is naturally the most unworthy person in the quarterfinals who is considered by the audience to be the most unworthy of the name. He is also very depressed now that he has become the top eight, and he originally planned to show off his skills, but he repeatedly encountered accidents.

If the audience was very dissatisfied with his emotions at this time, then Wuqi was even more dissatisfied with his opponents now, without exception, no one fought against him, all of them either abstained or suddenly couldn't play, which made him depressed in his heart, and anger also rose.

However, he couldn't help it, but after Wuqi's gaze fell on Balk's body, he couldn't help but laugh, and the anger and depression in his heart dissipated like a cloud.

He couldn't help it. At that glance, Wu Qi clearly saw that Balk's forehead was bruised, his facial features were distorted, and his face was red, without explanation, he immediately understood the reason, the other party also had the same feeling as him before, and this feeling would not be weaker, only stronger. So he couldn't help it, and deliberately teased Balk: "What a pity." You don't have a chance to fight me. ”

Hearing Wuqi's teasing, and seeing his face completely occupied by a wicked smile, Balk's face suddenly turned as angry as an eggplant, and instantly turned purple. He grabbed Wuqi's collar, his eyes suddenly widened like two copper bells, and he roared angrily, "You...... You...... I'm going to have another game! I can't accept this result!"
