Although the famous saying of the White Rock Cave is that "every qiē is determined by competition", after all, it is inevitable that some people will want to do something small outside of competition.

However, Midi was naturally not naïve enough to really think that this was a place where rules were spoken.

At the end of the day, it's still a place of power.

Then it's as simple as showing your strength, even outside the arena.

Seeing Midi walk out with a calm face, the dark elf ghost swordsman nicknamed "Bloody Hand" showed a touch of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

"Human, I've heard that you're very close to the fugitive Zaknavan?" said Bloody Hand grinning, deliberately glancing at Zaknavan on the side, "Believe me, you'll die a miserable death by doing this." ”

"You think I'm scared?" Midi smiled.

On the side, the mage known as the "Ice Hand" also narrowed his eyes: "Listen, human, if you want to challenge us, then in tomorrow's competition, you will first be challenged by a series of challenges! This is a points match, not a knockout match, you will play many games before you meet us, and I can guarantee that most of them will be difficult for you." ”

With this warning-like word, many onlookers of slave fighters shouted in response.

Only a handful of slave fighters, most of whom had gone with Zaknavan to see the Midi selections, were applauding.

Looking at this scene, Midi suddenly had a more thorough understanding of the shape in this white rock cave.

Obviously, here, each of the fighters at the front is accumulating their own power, whether it is a good thing, or some other promise, or even a way to contribute points in transition.

And because Zaknafan came late and received few contribution points, the number of people who supported him was obviously much smaller than that of the "Blood Hand" and the "Ice Hand".

In this case, he was able to rush to third place, which is obviously not easy.

And the reason why he lowered his posture so much as soon as he came up and was in a hurry to find a strong newcomer like Midi to form a team is also a matter of course.

However, the intimidation from the Bloody Hand and the Ice Hand had only had an effect on Midi.

In fact, at this moment, after a tough battle with the lizardmen, Midi has indeed changed some of her style.

It is no longer about calculating everything to the extreme and then choosing the best route, but more in a hard-hitting way, carving out a path.

Because there are always things that can't be calculated.

For example, death hunt orders.

If you can't even deal with this kind of attrition war in front of you, how will you deal with the terrifying pursuit from the demon world in the future?

It can even be said that for Midi, who has just mastered the "environmental sensing" psychic ability, he is expecting a large group of people to become his whetstones, so as to hone the application of this "environmental induction" in actual combat.

"With all these things, you think you'll be able to stop me?" Midi sneered as she looked at the crowd and made a defiant gesture.

In an instant, the irascible slave fighters were immediately boiling.

If it weren't for their long-term habits, a few of them would have rushed up and attacked on the spot.

But fortunately, although they were angry, they still kept their sanity, so naturally they would not act lightly at this time.

Otherwise, if you take a powerful lightning arrow, tomorrow's ranking will definitely plummet.

But although I can't do it, I can use my mouth to do it.

All of a sudden, all sorts of chaotic shouts and curses that Midi couldn't understand filled the white rock cave.

The next moment, however, suddenly fell silent.

The slave fighters were still screaming desperately, but they suddenly found that they had been shouting for a long time, and they couldn't make any sound!

The Bloody Hand and Ice Hand duo looked shocked at the same time and assumed a defensive posture.

What did you do!

They wanted to confront Midi in this way, but as they spoke, they were horrified to find that their voices had also disappeared.

And at the feet of these people, a huge translucent ghost array was operating silently.

Devil May Cry Skill, Sound Devouring Array!

After the invention of this ghost circle, it was originally used to silence a wide area to prevent mages from casting spells.

Unfortunately, the cast range of the mages is much greater than that of the ghost swordsman, so most of the time, when using the Sound Devouring Array, the battle is almost decided.

Even if a ghost swordsman occasionally gets the perfect opportunity to come up and paste a mage and cast a sound-devouring array, the opponent still has a lot of silent skills that can be used without chanting a spell.

One of them is teleportation.

As long as the mage had a thought and moved outside the range of the sound devouring array, it would become the same as before.

Therefore, this sound phagonation array is a skill that everyone knows the principle of, but few people really use.

And at this moment, it comes in handy.

As Midi expected, although this was a skill, it did not have any ability to damage the target, so the magic circle in the White Rock Cave was not activated, and the lightning arrow was not fired.

This means that he can use the sound phagophage array with impunity, which is used to block all verbal violence.

In other words, he can force others to shut up in an area where he can only use his mouth to distinguish victory and defeat.

Not only that, but he can even make his own voice the only voice here.

Just as the Stygian Flame Array will not burn the Ghost Swordsman himself, so the Sound Devouring Array will not devour Midi's voice if he wants to.

"Stop playing this boring trick here. Midi finally spoke, "Since you want to play a war of attrition, then I'll play with you." However, you had better prepare for the cost of your lives. ”

His voice was as calm as ever, but there was a smell of iron in it that was impossible to ignore, as if he was smoking something with a steel whip.

And the method of the Sound Devouring Array, coupled with Midi's calm death announcement, did indeed have many slave fighters wake up from the initial ridicule, and began to weigh whether it was more appropriate to sell favors to the Ice Hands and Bloody Hands, or to prioritize their own safety?

"Don't waste saliva there, let's talk with our swords in the arena tomorrow. Midi glanced coldly at the dark elf pair, turned back to his room without looking back, and slammed the door shut.

The next day, the ranking competition began in this situation full of gunpowder.

The format is simple, the point system.

There were more than forty of these high-ranking slave fighters, forty-five to be exact.

Because of this, the members of the tarantula tribe divided them into five teams, each with nine people.

Each member of the team will have to play against the other eight for a total of eight rounds, and the five people with the highest final points will be able to qualify for the mission.

As for the algorithm of points, it is also very simple, the winner gets one point, and the loser deducts one point.

This means that the gap between victory and defeat will be even greater.

Once you lose one, you have to win two more games to get just one point.

At this time, the person who has won three games in a row has already scored three points, and the gap between them is a full two points.

Obviously, this format encourages victory, while the punishment for defeat is stricter.

And according to Zaknavan, in this points race, it is best to win all eight rounds.

When there is a tie – for example, if the best of the five teams gets eight points, then the final is played and another points match is played between the five players.

In most cases, the top five will depend on the final to be separated, and that's the real key.

And if you lose even one of the eight rounds in the first preliminary, it will bring a huge score gap, so you will not qualify for the final at all.

After all the teams were assigned, Midi glanced around, only to find that the distribution of the original teams was also exquisite.

Last week's top five were scattered into five different teams, which is equivalent to the identity of the defending champions.

Not only that, but the strength of the slave fighters in each team is also about the same. For example, if the sixth place is placed in the first team, then the seventh place must be placed in the second team, and they will be staggered from each other.

This is also to allow the really strong people to stand out, rather than being consumed in advance in the group of death, and in the end the highest points are the ones in the less skilled teams.

It can be said that this ranking match is a fairly fair game, and the tarantula tribe has obviously put a lot of thought into it, just to use new blood to enrich its own strength.

It could be luck, but it could also be a human factor, or it could be unluck, in short, Midi, who was ranked at the bottom of the rookie rank, was not in a group with Zaknavan.

Instead, he was in the ranks of the Dark Elf mage "Ice Hand", and not only that, but most of the people in this team were the same people who yelled at Midi yesterday.

Midi made a rough estimate that there were at least four slave fighters, who could be regarded as Ice Hands' men, and the rest of them were unclear, but they must not be taken lightly.

And it was at this time that Midi finally saw the rumored first and second place.

Due to the long-term mission, these two people are rarely seen in the White Rock Cave, and most of the time, they only appear at the beginning of the ranking match.

They were two male Dark Elf roaming gunslingers.

This configuration easily reminds Midi of the two sisters who are also partners in the Falcon Regiment - "Spark Twin Spears" Audrey and "Butterfly Twin Spear" Erin.

And what made Midi even more emotional was that one of the two roaming gunners in front of him was an old acquaintance of himself and the pair of sisters!
