Chapter 34: Shi Li at the bottom
In cell No. 30, a contestant wearing a full black cloak was fighting the [Locking Demon].
He had no specific features, his face was like a black mist, with only two blue water-like eyes flashing.
Wisps of black smoke spread out from under the cloak, surrounding him and lingering.
This person is the favorite to win the championship, Black Smoke from the Right Heart World.
【Ding Dong! 】
【This is not fair, OUT! 】
【This is not fair, OUT! 】
"Oh, it's really chaotic outside. Someone is out again."
He sighed and continued to manipulate the deck.
【clang clang clang! 】
The settlement phase ended, and with a roar from the Locking Demon, it turned into blue light and dissipated.
"I'm unlucky enough."
After guessing the password, Black Smoke sighed.
Because in front of him, there were three [Demon Lock] cards.
The superpower I drew was very weak, and I have been caught by the guards three times so far.
This is the fourth time you enter the palace, and you have to face four [Locking Demons].
He felt that if he was arrested again this time, he might not have enough time to escape from prison.
I opened the leaderboard and looked at my own results, ranking 43rd.
"If you continue like this, you won't be able to advance."
He shook his head helplessly.
In fact, he had also heard those rumors about himself.
He said that he was demoted because he took drugs in order to win the championship prize.
This statement is a bit absurd.
He was not taking drugs and had never heard of such drugs, but the demotion was real.
It is true that I was once a LV13 player approaching LV14, but I was demoted as a punishment because I failed in a high-quality dungeon mission.
Copies after LV10 often have a penalty mechanism.
He was unlucky and encountered a rare punishment of demotion, and it was a big one, with him being demoted 8 levels at once.
"I've just arrived in the city of Zuo Xin's world. Isn't this going to make people laugh?"
"Forget it, let's continue unlocking it."
After a brief complaint, he decided to continue the game.
However, at this moment, a hurried shout was suddenly heard outside.
"It's over, it's over! He's coming, he's coming!"
Judging from the voice, it seems to be contestant No. 31 from next door.
He had seen that guy before, a strong mammoth man who was over 2 meters tall.
He is among the top ten players in the ranking, which shows that his level is quite good.
When I escaped from prison for the second time, the other party was in prison, so we had a brief communication.
I remember that he was a guy with a confident and somewhat arrogant tone. I don't know why he lost his composure at this moment.
Bang bang bang!
"Open the door! Let me in!"
At this moment, it sounded like the mammoth man was banging hard on the door of cell number 31.
Heiyan knew that the cell door could only be opened from the outside by the guards.
So he felt that the other party seemed a little panicked and at a loss.
[Beep beep beep beep~ beep beep beep~]
At this moment, he heard a melodious music coming from the window, but unfortunately the angle of the window was not high enough so he couldn't see what was making the sound.
However, the figure of No. 31 continued to retreat and entered his sight.
At this time, the mammoth man was limping, his arms were drooping, and he had many scars on his body, looking very miserable.
It looks like it has just experienced a violent fluctuation and suffered a big loss.
Cell No. 30 was at the end of the corridor, so he had no way out.
"Friend , what happened?"
Heiyan was really curious about what could have made the other party so scared.
"The Death Sprinkler."
The mammoth man glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "It's the Death Sprinkler Truck!"
Death sprinkler?
Black Smoke was stunned.
He couldn't imagine how these two words, which sounded unrelated, could be combined.
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
The music seemed to be getting closer and closer, like it was playing with its prey that had nowhere to escape, slowly approaching.
"I'm ranked so high, I don't want to be eliminated here!"
As the music got closer, the mammoth man suddenly roared.
His eyes gradually turned red, and his already muscular body swelled even larger.
"Is this... a dungeon-type talent for card players?"
Heiyan's expression suddenly became solemn.
He had heard of similar talents among card players, which allowed the player to temporarily improve his physical functions within the dungeon. The opponent's current posture looked very similar.
However, the Mammoth Man's outburst was obviously not over yet, and the next second he activated his superpowers again.
The body that had just expanded rapidly shrank as if it was being sucked by something.
Only the right arm became even stronger.
[Gathering Arm]: Condensing the blood and energy of the whole body and concentrating it in the right hand
"This arm is amazing, worthy of being in the top ten of the rankings!"
The black smoke made my eyes sparkle.
However, at this point, the mammoth man's methods have not yet ended.
He just flipped his hand and took out another axe.
This should be his equipment card.
"I'll fight you!!!"
The mammoth man's huge arms clenched the axe and roared like an elephant.
"Huh?"
But the black smoke suddenly heard the music and began to retreat.
"Did you scare it away?"
He questioned.
"No!"
The mammoth gnashed his teeth and said, "He is increasing the running distance!"
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
After saying this, he rushed back with the axe raised.
“…”
The other party quickly disappeared from his sight, which made Heiyan feel a little regretful.
He really wanted to witness the battle.
"But the Mammoths have all their skills activated, so they shouldn't lose."
He murmured.
call out!
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
But just as he finished speaking, a shadow whizzed past Hei Yan's eyes accompanied by the music.
Vaguely, he saw the front of the car almost chopped apart by the mammoth man.
And the mammoth man attached to the hood of the car.
Boom!!!
The front of the car squeezed the mammoth man and crashed into the wall at the end of the passage, causing an explosion.
【Ding Dong! 】
【Elephant, elephant, OUT! 】
【Elephant, elephant, OUT! 】
In a trance, Heiyan heard the sound of contestants being eliminated.
"That's not right! Why was only one person eliminated?"
"The driver can't possibly survive!"
Just now he saw for a moment that there was a human being in the driver's seat.
A thick blue light like smoke drifted out, and except for the huge cracks on the wall, the surroundings became clean.
It was at this moment that he saw a miracle happen.
Buzz!
A beam of blue light descended, and a figure suddenly appeared.
It was the sprinkler truck driver I saw just now!
(This person...will be resurrected?!)
At this moment, Black Smoke was shocked.
No wonder it is called the Death Sprinkler!
The other party didn't seem to notice him at this time, so he heard the other party's mumbling.
"Damn, another waste of money."
"But it's good, it saves the trouble of reversing."
As he spoke, he saw the man release a brand new sprinkler truck out of thin air and sit on it again.
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
The car drove away quickly, accompanied by the endlessly looping music.
Not to mention, that magical melody is quite brainwashing.
"Should I...break out of prison again?"
He suddenly felt that the world outside was so dangerous!
…
It was the last night of the dungeon and there were still two hours left before the dungeon ended.
It is still Area A11, the end of the passage.
The huge double doors leading to Area A10 were closed, and a team of guards were still stationed in front of the door.
[Today, the prisoners are... so quiet]
The cat-headed captain was holding a riot baton and looked bored.
You know, they were exhausted the day before yesterday, running around everywhere to support their brother teams.
A prisoner suddenly appears in front of you and you may have to fight.
[Yes, the situation has become much better since that mechanical beast joined us]
The Kobold Vice Captain echoed.
Compared to the day before yesterday, the ancient temple was eerily quiet today.
[I really don't know how much hatred and resentment that guy has against other prisoners]
[It makes us do nothing, as if we are being lazy]
[I’m almost embarrassed]
The cat-headed captain laughed.
[And I also heard that all the remaining prisoners have stopped escaping now]
[I hid in the cell because I was scared and dared not come out]
[Unexpectedly, the safest place was actually the cell they had always wanted to escape from]
[How ironic... huh? ]
As he was speaking, his ears suddenly twitched.
Squeak...
The door behind him was pushed open a crack.
[It's a prisoner! Prepare for battle! ]
The ogre deputy captain, who had a keen sense of smell, had already smelled a scent that did not belong to his kind.
Hearing what he said, everyone raised their weapons.
Gurgle gurgle…
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the stone ground, and within these ripples, a person's back swam out from the crack in the door.
This strange appearance made the guards more alert.
“Puff!”
The next second, the man climbed up from the ground as if he had come out of the water.
There were firefly-like light sacs on both sides of his cheeks, and it was unknown what race he belonged to.
At this time, the man's face was full of haggardness and tension, and he looked around.
However, surprisingly, when he saw the guard, he seemed to see the savior.
"Quick! Catch me!"
His spirit suddenly became excited, as if he was having a last burst of energy.
【ah?】
The guards had never heard of such a request before.
A prisoner actually asked to be imprisoned?
If that's the case, then why do you jailbreak?
But in reality, the bald-faced man has no way to express his suffering.
It all started with my encounter with number 7.
Anyway, in general, he was chased by someone, no, it should be said that he was chased by a sprinkler truck that appeared from nowhere all night.
It's obvious that his superpowers allow him to hide and escape, but every time he gets rid of his opponent, he's always found again after a short while.
Until recently, it seemed that the opponent's tracking ability disappeared and he was completely freed.
The bald-faced man had had enough of this kind of pursuit. He just wanted to spend the last two hours in peace and quiet.
Anyway, I have already released enough spells to firmly sit on the throne of first place.
"Come, come and catch me."
"You'll be safe once you're in the cell."
When the guards didn't react, he took the initiative and held out his hands.
【……】
The cat-headed captain exchanged glances with his team members and then took a chain.
When you press the end of the chain, green light energy emerges from it.
This green light energy is very mysterious and can suppress superpowers.
"Yes, yes! That's it!"
The bald-faced man was not afraid but delighted to see the chains. He took a few steps forward and asked the other party to tie him up.
The cat-headed captain never expected that the other party would behave so abnormally.
With a look of disgust, he chained it.
"All right, all right!"
As soon as the green energy chain was tied up, the bald-faced man fell to the ground and trembled all over, but he still said: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, send me to the prison cell!"
However, the cat-headed man ignored him and called a team member to whisper to him.
After receiving the order, the ogre team members immediately trotted away.
Then after a while, the bare-faced man encountered a scene that made him collapse.
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
That life-threatening song actually sounded from far away!
In an instant, he understood everything.
I was fucking fooled!
There are players colluding with hostile NPCs!
Is this kind of behavior something a human could do?!
A few minutes later, the broadcast sounded.
【Ding Dong! 】
【Butt face, OUT! 】
【Butt face, OUT! 】
"Alas... failed."
Sitting in the car, Shi Li felt bored.
His plan to win the championship directly failed.
It’s not that I didn’t work hard, but that the enemy is too cunning.
When I opened the ranking panel, I found myself at the last place.
After realizing that something was not right, many guys hid in their cells like turtles.
It's really unpleasant that I work so hard to drive a car and they just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Especially when he encountered two guys who were so powerful that they could challenge the car , he was forced to die together and used up his three chances of resurrection.
Of course, he would not admit that one of his attempts was wasted due to a failed drift on a stone bridge.
In the end I only got 12th place, bah!
Yes, although he was at the bottom, he was 12th.
And this ranking basically cannot be improved anymore, because except for the very beginning, he basically did not collect or release spells in the past three days, and was wholeheartedly focusing on eliminating players.
And the remaining contestants have all hid in their cells and refused to come out, leaving no one on the field to be eliminated.
This included the competitor he most wanted to get rid of, Black Smoke.
What he didn't know was that if everyone just relied on the number of spells in the PK, there was a high probability that the black smoke guy would be eliminated.
Instead, it was his own creative plan that helped the other party advance.
Moreover, the other party had witnessed the scene of Shi Li's accident, so he had the idea of retreating.
But if he only relies on the number of spells to compete, Shi Li may not be able to make it into the top 32.
All I can say is that these two people are probably destined to compete at the card table later.
The last two hours passed quickly.
Buzz!
Following the beam of light, Shi Li returned to the pure white space.
[Complete the 3-day survival mission in the dungeon - 1/1]
[Congratulations to the top 32 players - 1/1]
[Instance completion - 100%]
[Getting experience points, calculating...]
[Congratulations, your level has been raised to LV3]
The panel popped up just in time.
As expected of a copy with a maximum limit of LV10, the experience points directly allowed me to level up. It’s a pity that the straw men didn’t come.
But what surprised him most was the following sentence.
[Please draw 6 cards as rewards for this copy]
I didn’t expect that this copy could actually draw cards!
