Chapter 218: Strange Rules
As a dazzling light descended, the boy left the enclosed space with the other contestants. As their eyes adjusted again, they were amazed to find that they had never left the hall surrounded by the huge pillars, and were still standing in their previous positions.
The difference was that the number of people who would appear in that temple was only a visible thirty or so. The rest of the hundreds, at unknown times and from where, have already left. Seeing such an elimination rate, everyone couldn't help but think of the maze test again, and the heart was worthy of the selection meeting personally presided over by the honorary president of the Fu Array Master Guild, and the qualified standard was really not an ordinary trick, and a piece of people were brushed off casually.
In everyone's impression, there were one or two hundred white light clusters that appeared in the hall before, and they had already been snatched up. However, judging by the number of people left here, most of the contestants didn't have time to understand and successfully lay it out, even if they got a relatively simple rune scroll.
"I'm glad you all passed the second test!"
Just as everyone was secretly rejoicing that they had passed the level, the phantom of the white-robed old man appeared again in the sky above the hall, and said in a calm voice: "Being able to stand here means that you already have the qualifications to be a rune master. The rest of the people had been teleported out of the Abyss Pavilion at the moment of the hourglass streamer, and their memories of the runes they had obtained had been erased. ”
There was silence in the hall, and the words of the white-robed old man further confirmed everyone's speculation. Many people were secretly worried in their hearts, not knowing what the old man wanted to say next. And what kind of tests await them after that?
Long ——!
Suddenly, the door at the side of the hall opened again, and the hourglass on the door began to clock in.
I saw that the white-robed old man's gaze swept over everyone, and he continued to squint and smile and said, "Then, before the third test begins, everyone still has a choice to abstain! In the front hall, everyone will receive the corresponding title of rune array master according to the level of the rune array that Fang Cai has just arranged. The players who choose to stay will enter the next venue for testing. If you pass the test, you will be directly promoted to one level, and if you pass it, you will also be deprived of the memory of the rune. And start from scratch at the next congress!"
The old man's voice fell. Someone had already stepped towards the gate. And more people also gave up the idea of continuing the test after a little thought. To them, the title of Rune Master was so precious that they couldn't afford to risk the following test. Anyway, the title of Rune Master is for life. If you want to upgrade. It would be nice to find an opportunity to participate in other tasks organized by the guild in the future.
However, this is only what most people think. For a handful of people. For example, Yang Rui. Those titles don't mean anything at all. The reason why he came to participate in this rune array selection meeting was just to get a glimpse of the style of the fifth-level rune array scroll!
Boom!
The door closed again with the passage of time, in the middle of the temple. There are only five people left.
"Will Luo Yun, the Phantom Ice King, be among these few people left?"
The boy leaned against the pillar and cautiously observed the other four, a delicate woman, a mysterious man in a black cloak, a thin man with whom he had snatched the scroll of the first-level rune array, and a young boy in a brown round hat.
But what surprised the young man was that he didn't feel the breath of the Phantom Ice King in these four people, and secretly said in his heart: "With the strength of the Phantom Ice King, he will not be eliminated in the previous test." Could it be that it was my delusion to be in the front hall before? No, no. That icy feeling is so real, there can be no mistake. Maybe he was just wandering outside the Haiyuan Pavilion and didn't participate in the selection meeting of this Fu Array Master. But if the mysterious organization is interested in this volume of fifth-level rune arrays, what could be more convenient than directly participating in the competition? There must be people among these five people, so they need to be more careful. I don't know if Xiao Xuannu and Ren Xue have informed Lingyi and Shichan of the situation here, I just hope that there won't be any problems. ”
While thinking about it, I heard the white-robed old man say, "I'm glad that you can stay and participate in the next test." This test will be the final test of this year's Fu Array Selection Conference!So, please move on to the next venue, where I will explain the rules of the third test to you. ”
Long ——!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a door in front of the hall slowly opened, revealing a long corridor covered with huge oil paintings.
The five of them walked slowly through the palatial oil gallery road, looking around, those oil paintings were full of historical stories of the Wuyue Kingdom. In an oil painting at the zenith, a warrior stands on the edge of a lake with a torch held high, staring at a large black python. The giant python's snake pupils were glowing with blood-colored murderous aura, stretching and bending, and they were ready to pounce. The warrior's eyes were like lightning, holding the sky with one hand, and there was no fear on his face. The author of the oil painting expresses the movements of the man and the beast vividly and vividly, which makes people sigh at the danger and horror of the real situation.
"The oil painting must be the story of Lu Wei, the founding ancestor of the Wuyue Kingdom, and the Tianchi Dragon Python of Mingyuan Mountain. At this time, the delicate girl saw that several people were staring at the huge painting above her head, and explained elegantly.
"Hmph! That's a matter of the Wuyue Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with me!" the thin man scoffed, turned his head and walked on. The mysterious man in the black cloak beside him only glanced at him and continued to walk on his own. And the little boy in the brown round hat asked curiously, "What kind of story is that?"
This was the first time the boy had seen the appearance of the legendary black python dragon, and said while looking at it: "Legend has it that there was a treasure hidden under the pool that day, and no one knew the exact location and how to open it. Three hundred years ago, Lu Wei, the founding ancestor of the Wuyue Kingdom, seemed to have come for that treasure, but he met the black python dragon who had been cultivating in Tianchi for a long time. The two sides have experienced a big battle, and there is no winner or loser. In the end, a covenant was made, and the python dragon helped Lu Wei establish the country and became the protector of the royal family. On the condition that the king was not allowed to probe the whereabouts of the treasure during the lifetime of the python. And the women of the Wuyue Kingdom must go to the heavenly pool to bathe before leaving the pavilion on the 28th, and if the women lose their virgin body, they will go out and eat it. ”
The girl sighed and smiled: "Hey, little handsome guy, you know it very well!" The young man turned his head when he heard this, and saw that the girl had walked to his side, and he was about twenty-six or seventeen years old. The young man smiled slightly: "This is the custom of the Wuyue Country, and it is a household name in the Wuyue Country, and it is not a secret. The girl said, "So, are you from Wuyue Kingdom?" The girl said, "Yo! I can't imagine that there is anyone in this country who can hold on until now." I thought the rest were all foreigners like me!" the boy grinned. Xindao My Wuyue Kingdom was despised like this, and said helplessly: "You are ......" The girl threw a wink at the young man elegantly, and said with a smile: "Sister, I have always been so straightforward, don't be surprised by the handsome guy." Qingguo Jiaona. Please advise!"
The young man said in his heart: "It turns out that it is a neighboring country that is slightly larger than Wuyue Country like the Fucha Country. But I don't know what country the other three are from?" and said with a smile: "Yang Rui of the Five Peaks Kingdom." Please advise!" The little boy next to the girl smiled: "I'm Jia Cong from the Fucha Kingdom, my brother and sister will have to let me order later!" The girl smiled: "You big child! No one who can stay is weak, sister, I will do my best later!" The young man snorted casually. Looking at the two people in front of him, he happened to bump into the sight of the thin man. Seeing that he seemed to be still holding a grudge against the scroll, he snorted coldly and turned his head back.
And the mysterious man in the black cloak remained silent, unable to see his face or what he was thinking at the moment. In the eyes of the teenager, this person's movements were the most suspicious, and it was most likely that he was a member of the mysterious organization.
A short time later, several people turned out of the gallery into a smaller room. The room is surrounded by a circle of upholstered chairs made of cotton brocade, with a large crystal ball in the center, and a large table on the side filled with fine food and drinks.
The virtual image of the white-robed old man suddenly reappeared in the crystal ball, and said with a peaceful smile: "Welcome! This is a room for everyone to rest, please try to replenish your body before the next test begins." With that, he disappeared again.
While the skinny man and the mysterious man wondered if this was part of the test, the boy had already led the boy and the delicate girl into a siege of the food on the table. The girl's movements were more elegant, holding a glass of wine and munching slowly, while the two of them ate in a way that could be described as gobbling up. The boy had been hungry since he took a bath in the morning, nibbling on a roasted pork leg in his mouth, and his left and right hands kept scooping up those fruits and vegetables in front of him. Not to be outdone, the little boy wrapped up a plate of flying cakes in his little hand, and poured it with his mouth open. With a kick of his right foot, he fished out a fried lobster in front of the boy. The thin man and the mysterious man couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw this, and sat down in a corner of the table with a little restraint, and began to eat as well.
When most of the food on the table was consumed, the old man's voice sounded in the room again: "Please listen to me explain the rules of the third test while you eat." As he spoke, an image of an unfamiliar area appeared in the crystal ball. The old man continued: "The third test will be conducted in an area with different terrain, in which you will not be able to use Yuan Li and can only use the rune array to fight each other. ”
When the young man heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "It's the prohibition that can't use Yuan Force! This white-robed Venerable is really powerful, and he can actually create a formation effect in one area like that in the Heavenly Sense Temple of the Concubine King City! Anyway, I don't plan to use Yuan Force, this is good news." ”
The images in the crystal ball are constantly changing, sometimes mountains and green waters, sometimes barren deserts, sometimes abandoned streets, sometimes giant trees and forests. The old man said: "The method of the duel is that each person can only use the formation he has just obtained to fight, and different terrain has a synergistic effect on different rune formations. Effective use of terrain will be the key to everyone's success in the test. The little boy and the delicate girl both nodded slightly, while the thin man and the mysterious man seemed to have been calculating the terrain that would suit them.
In the different reactions of the players, the old man continued to say unhurriedly: "Everyone will be given an iron medal at the beginning of the test. The test consists of encounters in the area with the aim of capturing as many iron medals as possible. At the end of the test time, the player who still has the iron medal in his hand will be considered to have passed the test, and the person with the most iron medals will receive the fifth-level formation!"
After the old man finished talking about the rules of the test, everyone felt some strange settings in the rules. Because if you keep the iron plate, even if you pass the guò test, then as long as you stick to the area that is beneficial to you, why fight with each other?
However, there was also the fifth-level rune array scroll among them. Anyone who has a mind on this scroll must defeat at least one player and take the iron medal in their hand. But what if the man hid the iron card, did he need to be forced to die?
There is also the rule that you can only use the runes obtained in the test to duel. As we all know, in the second test, everyone's choice is different. Some chose the first-level rune array, some chose the second-level rune array, and some even successfully obtained the fourth-level rune array. Although different terrains have an synergistic effect on different rune arrays, if a first-level rune array meets a fourth-level rune array, how can it be matched?
This seemingly simple rule contains too much uncertainty, so that everyone is there to recall the old man's words. After thinking about it, I heard the old man say again: "Well, that's right." There was one more thing I almost forgot to mention. These five iron plaques are interconnected with each other, and they glow red within a mile of each other, and the more iron plaques there are in the same area, the more intense the color. Well, if there is no doubt, the test will begin in an hour. The thin man suddenly said, "If you kill the other party by mistake, will you be disqualified from the conference?"
This question made the teenagers frown, and immediately made the atmosphere in the room tense. I saw that the old man hesitated for a moment and said: "Killing the other party by mistake will not be disqualified from the conference, but I hope that such a thing will not happen." Although the iron medal is precious, it is not more important than one's own life, and it can be given up at a critical moment. If anyone raises their hand to concede, they will be immediately teleported out of the formation, but this will also be considered a test failure. ”
"Hmph, that's for the best. The thin man glanced at the boy and said, "If some people don't have the guts, it's better to admit defeat early!"
The young man was noncommittal, but his eyes were fixed on the mysterious man in the black cloak. Although he had never said a word, the boy did feel a strange fluctuation in his body just now.
The old man's gaze swept over the five people, and when he saw that no one asked again, he said, "Then, please rest as you like." The old man still has to make some preparations. With that, he disappeared along with the image inside the crystal ball.
In that elegant room, the old man turned and let out a long breath, as if it had taken him a lot of energy to explain the rules. Shi Chan greeted him and said, "Teacher, isn't this kind of rule too dangerous?" The old man twisted his beard and smiled: "If it's not dangerous, how can you force out a person's potential? As a rune formation master, the ability to survive is a must, and the ability to create a zào is the key to being able to grasp the overall situation." I really want to see how amazing that young man would be in such a situation!" (To be continued......)
