Chapter 802: One for One
Qi Xia walked on the road for a long time, and then looked up at the beads above his head.
If you don't find the Earth Cow quickly, the bead should disappear soon, after all, the so-called "Celestial Serpent Moment" will only last for two hours at most.
Now there is no watch or clock, and there is no way to know the time, but Qi Xia always feels that the time is about to pass.
He shook his head, taking in the memories coming through his brain.
"Although adventurous...... But it also confirms that there is no problem with this method. Qi Xia looked at the beads above his head again, "Go back in time by 'Endless Life', Qinglong, have you seen it?" "Time" does not exist, we can only see traces of "time" from everyone, as long as we can trace back to a "person", theoretically we can go back to "time". ”
He looked down at his hands again, and became even more convinced of the underlying logic of the entire "End Land".
This is a strange place that relies on the powerful power of "life and life", and people keep going back in the same place, but time rushes forward in this land, and strange paradoxes have been born since many years ago.
Is it the people who are left in their place, or the world that is left in its place?
Qi Xia walked for about ten minutes according to the map in his hand, and finally saw the playground of the "Zodiac".
The playground was much larger than Qi Xia had imagined, and it looked like an open-air soccer field that had been abandoned for a long time.
The only thing that made Qi Xia feel puzzled was that this football stadium was too dilapidated, if it weren't for the clear location on the map, even Qi Xia wouldn't be sure that this was the playground of the earth cow.
He had seen many visits to the "Zodiac", and the football field in front of him was obviously the most dilapidated one, and it was a little dilapidated.
Is it because it's open-air? Or does the "zodiac" who works here never take care of their own premises?
Qi Xia came to the front of the field and found that there was no "zodiac" here, but he could faintly hear a few distant shouts from the field, so he put away the map and walked directly into the open-air football field from the main entrance.
Due to his wide field of vision, Qi Xia saw the stadium that had completely turned into yellow earth and no grass at first sight, and then he saw everyone in the center of the playground.
An unusually emaciated-looking ground cow was pulling a jet-black rope, and at the end of the rope were six participants gathered in a heap.
It seems to be a tug-of-war that looks fair, but doesn't make sense when tasted.
The six men were clutching the rope with their hands in a rage, their bodies all leaning back, each of them gritting their teeth and exerting all the strength to kill, and they seemed to have a clear division of labor, some of them were responsible for shouting slogans, and some were responsible for tying the rope around their waists.
And the thin earth ox stood there straight, holding the rope firmly with both hands, and the black rope was stretched straight in the air, but it never moved a bit.
Qi Xia stood in the distance and quietly watched this game without suspense, and a question soon arose in his heart.
The ground cow seems to have enough strength to end the game in an instant, but it has never let the "participants" lose, just pulling the rope and not fully exerting force, as if it is playing tricks on these people.
What does that mean?
On the other hand, the expressions of the six participants in the distance gradually became painful, and the hands holding the rope began to turn red, until they all started to tremble, and the ground bull stepped on the ground with a sharp force, and the rope instantly tightened, causing all the "participants" to fall to the ground.
Qi Xia frowned slightly when he saw this scene, this game seemed a little too strange.
Although the form of each prefecture-level game is not uniform, they must have a core, and that is "killing".
No matter how you think about this tug-of-war game, it will not lead to the death of the "participants", so what is the purpose of this game of the local cow?
Qi Xia recalled that the earth ox had been pulling the rope just now and consuming the physical strength of all the "participants", and instantly understood something: "Something is wrong...... The game doesn't end. ”
Sure enough, just as all the "participants" fell to the ground panting, the earth cow slowly stepped forward and said to everyone: "The first round is over,
It wasn't until this person opened his mouth that Qi Xia realized that the thin earth cow in front of him was a woman.
"Second...... Round? A man who looked like he was five big and three thick was lying on the ground and looking up at the ground cow, "What second round?" ”
Di Niu reached out and touched his breast pocket, then took out a dagger and threw it out.
The dagger left her palm, spun in the air and plunged into the ground.
"A life for a limb of mine." "You can choose which teammate you want to contribute, and for each person you contribute, I'll use one less limb, up to a maximum of four." If you can win the tug-of-war with few people, the reward will be doubled for each person you lose, or you can choose to leave now, but voluntarily. ”
"What do you mean by "one less limb"?" A tall, lanky man asked.
"Isn't that understandable?" The earth ox put one hand behind his back and said to the people, "I can hold the rope with only one hand, or I can use both hands, and tie the rope around my waist, or I can lift one foot off the ground, in short, I don't need which limb is your choice, do you understand?" ”
Qi Xia raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this time, the situation was similar to what he expected, the only thing he didn't expect was that "the reward will be doubled for every person lost", and the next participants need to make a dilemma.
Do you give up all your "tickets" and leave, or do you need to invest more to get an excess return?
Perhaps everywhere you can make a rational judgment - that is, it is a loss to exchange your life for anything, but this is not the case in the "End Land".
"I suggest that Brother Wang contribute." A man said, "Brother Wang's "echo", we can share it with him next time after we earn the "Dao", otherwise it will be too much of a loss to leave now." ”
"What......?" A man's eyes widened suddenly, and it looked like it should be the man's brother Wang, "What the is this called?" What if I die and can't win? I'm dead for nothing! ”
"I have a suggestion......!" A fat man with glasses said.
"What advice? Say it quickly! The man known as Brother Wang seemed to see a life-saving straw and asked anxiously.
The fat man pushed his glasses and said with a serious face: "People have a total of four limbs, and the "zodiac" says that one life is exchanged for one limb!" As long as we contribute four lives, it will be a winning game. ”
