Chapter 61: [Death on the Spot?] (Fourth Update!)
(PS1: Sick sticking to the code word update...... PS2: The red ticket is very weak, maybe we can think that this little prop will be a cheat for adding more...... οΌ
Lin Tao and the war of words between the old guys on the opposite side ended hastily, and the fighters at their level never worked hard, and strength was the best touchstone for everything.
After a period of time passed by the divine punishment, the pain of the more than 400 fighters on the field was slightly reduced, and they could barely stand up. But that kind of frightening feeling is like a maggot attached to the bone, and I can't get rid of it, and I'm afraid that without two or three years of meditation and cultivation, I can't get rid of this fear at all. It's a breath of death, so helpless, as if the soul is constantly suffering. If it was physically tortured, this group of powerful fighters would not look like this at all, and only deeper injuries could make them so painful.
A few people had begun to understand what had just happened, and although the pain in their hearts had prevented them from thinking about anything more, their memories were intact. Most of them vaguely remembered that it was the eyes of the Ata leader on the altar that had been closed that suddenly opened, and they appeared to have two pupils glowing with a blue glow, which really looked like the rays of death.
The pain finally subsided, but the scars on the soul did not go away in a short time. All of them gasped for breath in the fresh air around them, firstly to prove that they were indeed alive, secondly, because of the normal physiological reaction after a long period of suffocation, and thirdly, because of the fear in their hearts.
Although he couldn't say exactly what the strange man with a bark-covered face had done to them just now, he could understand it in combination with what he said before.
"Could it be that I was forcibly taken away from my life for three years?" someone asked in his heart.
Some people hugged their heads in pain and sighed, "Oh my God, what have I done? I have offended a demon!"
Indeed, just now, when they were constantly suffering from pain, they did feel as if something was slowly leaving their internal organs, as if it had been forcibly withdrawn.
The entire Macedonian summit platform was quiet, full of lamentation, and no one spoke. People are silently digesting what has just happened. Now they didn't dare to think about the shouting of death like just now, and no one even dared to look at the leader of the Ata clan standing on the altar, because they were afraid of those blue eyes.
"What's wrong with you, Bivias, wake up!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, pushing desperately at his companion beside him. However, his companion still collapsed to the ground, unresponsive.
No doubt...... He's dead.
Lin Tao shook his head slowly, roughly guessing everything. Divine punishment is to take away three years of life, and this person does not seem to have three years of life at all, so he is directly killed by divine punishment. It was really terrifying, and Lin Tao also felt a little terror. I didn't expect that he could kill people with his vision, and it was also a range attack, this move of the patriarch of the Eta clan was even more terrifying than the "death gaze". However, what made Lin Tao's heart palpitate even more was where did he come from this power, and what kind of history and secrets did this so-called Aita ethnic group have behind it?
"The Eta Divine Dragon is not the end. Although they are said to be a 'people abandoned and exiled by God,' there is another explanation. Call them 'the race closest to God' or 'God's servants.' Otherwise, it would not explain why an ordinary person of the Atta tribe was able to have the power of a god in an unbelievable way when he took over the position of patriarch. These words were the original words of Jiang Wubian, but now Lin Tao understands it even more shocking.
However, the only thing that made Lin Tao happy was that he and Jiang Wubian had crossed Hanshui Bay on the boat of the leader of the Aita tribe, and they had also been taken away from their lives. But the funny thing is that Lin Tao only had eight years left to live because he had to live, but because he had to leave five years, he was only taken away by the other party for three years. The feeling that it seems that the deepest things in the soul have been sucked away in an instant, and the whole person is lightened, it is nothing to say, but it is actually extremely terrifying. But Lin Tao's luck is much better than these people at the moment, after all, he is alive and well. But at the same time, it also made Lin Tao worried, at the beginning, he may have thought that the words of the patriarch of the Ata clan could not be believed too much, but after the scene just now, he already believed it very much. The feeling of knowing that you're going to die someday, that you don't have much time left, is terrible enough.
Lin Tao shook his head and suddenly gave himself a slap, and the sound was unusually harsh on the quiet Maqira platform. "No, the more time is pressing, the more I have to fight against time, I still have a lot of things to do, at least I have to wait until I finish everything before I can leave with peace of mind. Besides, there are still five years to go, and when that day comes, I'll see how I die!" Lin Tao's current mind is no longer comparable to what he was able to do before, and now there are almost no things that can hit him and make him languish. Because he has a firm conviction and purpose in his heart......
Lin Tao and Jiang Wubian suddenly heard a "pop", looked back, and saw that Lin Tao's whole person was trembling slightly, and they were quite tacitly not bothering Lin Tao at this time.
This was only a small episode, and it did not affect the situation on the entire summit of Majira at all. There is far more than one person who has died, and losing their lives in this place can only mean that they are unlucky. Even if there were friends or partners, they didn't dare to avenge them, because the strange man with a bark-covered face by the altar was so terrifying that this dumb man could only admit it.
That cold, empty and emotionless voice really penetrated into the ears of every living fighter present again in the next moment, "Those who choose to participate in the assessment now, come forward." β
Then, the scene began to be chaotic. Many of the fighters who had been extremely determined walked towards the altar one after another. Among them are those who have not been punished by God before, and there are also those who have received it. The other part of the people stood still and did not move, and now of course they believe the words of using nine years of life as a ticket to participate in this assessment. They are reluctant to spend the past nine years, and many people themselves are not firm or just come to join in the fun, so they will not be so stupid to spend nine years to win a mirror that is likely to be nothing. It would be nice if it took nine years to enter the space of Pandora's box and finally stay. But the problem is that after entering, you have to face a series of difficulties, and in the end, there are many people who can't get anything. In their eyes, this is a bit stupid, and it really doesn't matter what their own life is.
After a few moments, the five hundred or so fighters who had been mixed together gradually split into two groups. The entire altar is now standing about two hundred people. Lin Tao, Jiang Wubian, and Long Que all stood on the altar without exception. Jiang Wubian didn't plan to do this, but when he saw his enemy stepping on the altar stone platform without hesitation, he also walked up. He himself came here to take revenge, so naturally there was no reason to stay outside, and at the same time, it was impossible to completely fake this matter to Lin Tao.
"The world of Pandora's Box is definitely not as simple as you think, although you can gain some of it, but you are afraid of losing more. There you will be mired in greed, killing, fear, pain, sickness, lust, and no one can help you, only you have hope. In an instant, the loud sound of the patriarch of the Aita tribe resounded throughout the top of Mount Maqira, and the flock of birds that had been inhabiting the surroundings was shocked and flew everywhere.
"If anyone repents, it's still too late. Once you enter the space of Pandora's Box, you can never get out again, only the last ten people who survive can get a chance, and the rest of the people will only die and become the nourishment of the flowers in the world of Pandora's Box. β
With these words, more than a dozen undetermined fighters retreated from the stone platform of the altar. The rest didn't move.
After a long time, a sigh sounded in everyone's ears, and this sigh belonged to the leader of the Ata.
He slowly took out a thick book of classics from his arms, the patterns on this classics were obscure, and they did not look like the words of this era at all. More discerning people saw the leader of the Atta tribe, whose skin was smooth and protruding pectoral, which was no different from that of a human. For a moment they seemed to understand something, but they couldn't see it really.
"Wow...... Catβs meow...... Laa...... Gnat...... Gurg...... He opened the classical, the speed of turning the pages of the book was very slow, and the sound produced by the turning of the kraft paper was "Bang Bang Bang!", I don't know why, every time the kraft paper was turned over, everyone felt that their hearts were a little heavier, and even Lin Tao frowned. A low, strange voice came out of his throat. No one could understand what he was saying, it sounded like a mantra used by mages.
When the first fighter stepped into the passage connecting the Pandora's Box space without hesitation, a dazzling light peeled off from his body, then struck a flower in the sky, and finally slowly fell into the book held by the leader of the Atta tribe.
What is surprising is that the other fighters present can see that brilliance with the naked eye. There is no doubt that it was nine years of life stripped from the fighter. A sense of absurdity suddenly rose in the people. All the strange things in front of them were something they had never been exposed to, or even thought about, but it happened today. In the world they lived in before, there was only fighting spirit, and the magical or mysterious abilities displayed by the patriarch of the Atta clan were unheard of.
One fighter after another walked towards the passage connecting the Pandora's Box space, and one after another of light was stripped from their bodies and finally entered the tome......
At this time, Lin Tao was a little anxious. He suddenly thought that according to the patriarch of the Eta clan, he was afraid that he only had five years to live, so if he was siphoned off for another nine years of life at this moment, wouldn't that mean that he would die on the spot like those dead fighters just now?
