Volume 2 That World Chapter 74: Flag Capture
Capture the flag?
Everyone looked at each other.
Qi Ji couldn't help but glance at Qin Zijin beside him. This girl had a calm expression on her face. She must know something.
Forget it, there’s no need to ask, the Pavilion Master is going to say it soon anyway.
As Qi Ji expected, although Yu Xujiang did not continue speaking himself, he waved his hand and another person stood up.
The person who stood up turned out to be an acquaintance.
Yu Chengen!
Mr. Yu returned safely.
Yu Chengen glanced at Qi Ji, smiled, and then said to everyone in a loud voice: "Let me introduce the origin and rules of the so-called 'Capture the Flag Contest' to everyone."
Then he said in a loud voice: "Since this martial arts competition was interrupted by the mirage attack, and you are temporarily settled in our Sword Pavilion, so our Pavilion Master proposed and communicated with the leaders of your various forces, we decided to use this flag-grabbing competition."
Yu Chengen waved his hand, and two Sword Pavilion disciples each took one side and presented a huge map in front of everyone.
There are two cross marks on the map, one red and one blue.
"The blue mark is the mountain where Jiange is located, and the red mark is the 'Wanren Peak' which is 50 kilometers away from Jiange." Yu Chengen pointed to the map and said, "What you have to do this time is to start from Jiange at noon today, cross the ancient forest at the foot of Wanren Peak , climb the mountain to the top of Wanren Peak, seize the king's flag, and keep the flag before noon tomorrow. The rules are simple, right?"
Everyone was silent, waiting for Yu Chengen to continue.
Yu Chengen nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Of course, there are a few additional rules."
He raised his right index finger and said, "First, you can carry two weapons, but you are not allowed to carry any other items. You will have to take care of your own food, drink, and toilet during the trip."
Then he raised his second finger and said, "Second, each faction's representatives will be protected by a fourth-level life master leader. However, they will not take action unless you are attacked by a terrorist organization like Mirage, or you are facing other life-threatening situations."
"Third, if you are seriously injured or can't hold on, you will be eliminated. You will be treated by a fortune teller and taken to Wanren Mountain by specialized personnel to wait for the flag-grabbing competition to end."
"Finally, here are the most important winning rules. In addition to the 'king flag' on Wanren Peak, each team is also equipped with a 'general flag'. Teams can snatch the general flag from each other. The king flag counts for five points, and the general flag counts for one point. That is to say, if a team has more than six general flags, even if they don't grab the king flag when the time is up, they can still win."
After Yu Chengen finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Do you understand?"
Many young people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then Ning Bai from the Armor Hall raised his hand: "I would like to ask, are there any high-level extraordinary monsters in this forest and mountain?"
Yu Chengen smiled, then nodded: "You asked the key question. Of course there are monsters, but most of the aggressive monsters are at the level of extraordinary level one or two, such as the Blue Bear Beast, the Great Thief Dragon, etc."
Then his expression became mysterious. “Although in order to avoid trouble, Jian Ge has driven most of the monsters above level three away from this area, there are still two ferocious level three monsters left. One roams in the forest, and the other lives in Wanren Mountain. If you encounter them, you can only wish for the best.”
A level 3 monster? A level 3 supernatural monster?
Qi Ji couldn't help but look at Qin Zijin. Was this a bit too much?
Qin Zijin leaned close to Qi Ji's ear and whispered, "Monsters lack intelligence. Although their bodies have become stronger after absorbing the extraordinary factor, humans with good weapons and skills can challenge them across levels."
Qi Ji said speechlessly: "No matter how much we surpass the level, it's too much of a joke for ordinary people like us to fight against a third-level warrior, right?"
He then said, "I don't know what the level of the third level is, but based on the performance of the fourth-level masters I saw that day, even if the third level is three or five times worse than the fourth level, it is not something we can deal with, right?"
Qi Ji had a deep understanding of the concept of the fourth level.
Yu Chengen and Gu Chongan fought each other, and the reaction force was enough to cause a large dent in the hard stone floor of Jiandu Square.
Yuan Weizong said that he was just a fortune teller without killing power, but when he went to fight the enemy, his movements were so fast that Qi Ji could hardly see clearly.
With the blessing of transcendence, Qi Ji's eyesight is no ordinary one, and is even not much worse than that of an extraordinary person.
In an ordinary fourth-level battle, although it was not as easy as Yu Chengen to crack the ground, it still destroyed the entire Jiandu Square and knocked down many buildings in Jiandu.
Qin Zijin nodded and smiled, "Although the third level is far inferior to the fourth level, it is still possible to break a wall and break a pillar with a full-strength attack, and demolish a building with one person."
"So what are the two third-level monsters in this challenge? Do you want them to be kept secret?"
Qin Zijin shook his head and smiled as he uttered two names: "Honglong and Xunlong."
"Boom Dragon... and Xunlong..." Qi Ji repeated the name.
He finally understood that people in the outside world particularly liked to use the word "dragon" to name monsters.
"Just hearing the name, it seems like he's going to be difficult to deal with..." Qi Ji frowned and pondered.
Qin Zijin looked confident in Qi Ji: "Don't worry, since Jiange proposed this competition method, it must have been carefully considered and is sure that you can complete it."
She then said, "Besides, your strength is among the best among everyone right now, so it must be easy."
It sounds simple, but it feels very difficult to do.
Qi Ji stroked his chin and thought silently, from noon to noon, a total of twenty-four hours, a whole day, the contestants have to cover a distance of fifty kilometers.
This stretch of road is not a flat road, but a large primeval forest. After crossing it, you have to climb to the top of this "Wanren Peak".
Not to mention how high this Wanren Peak is and how long it takes to climb it.
Just these fifty kilometers of primeval forest are enough to consume most of the contestants' physical strength.
There are monsters of extraordinary level in the forest, as well as countless poisonous insects and poisonous plants. If you really want to cross it on foot, it is definitely not something that can be accomplished easily.
And there are also powerful third-level monsters...
While he was thinking, Yu Chengen in front of him continued, "There is no need to explain the other unnecessary rules. You will still participate in the battle in small teams according to your respective forces. Now it is time to prepare for the battle. Please go back and pack your weapons as soon as possible and get ready to go."
Yu Chengen seemed to have remembered something. He looked at Li Heng from Baji Sect and Gu Qiuzhen from Shajie Sword Sect and added, "Among them, the Heroes team lost two members. After communication this morning, they decided to add two players from the same sect, Li Shuming and Gu Fei. Do other teams have any objections?"
No one protested.
This ended the morning session.
Strictly speaking, the competition had already begun at this moment, and the young people from all forces were supervised by the accompanying fourth-level life masters.
The fortune teller was also the leader of each force before. After they collectively led away the fourth-level sent by Mirage that day, all of them, like Yu Chengen, returned safely to Jiange yesterday.
Obviously, when reaching the fourth level and having the Qi Armor, it would be very difficult for fourth level masters to kill each other unless they were determined to fight to the death.
Unless one's strength is far beyond that of a top master like Yu Chengen or Gu Chong'an.
Now, these fourth-level players have disrupted the composition to supervise different teams separately.
The fourth-level supervisor of Qi Ji's team is Wuchuan from Longchang.
A master who became extremely fond of Qi Ji after knowing that it was Qi Ji who saved Wang Zhige.
For example, at this moment, Wuchuan was smiling as he watched Qi Ji and others discussing tactics.
Qi Ji, Su Jingqiu, Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren sat in Qi Ji's room under the organization of Qin Zijin.
"I can't accompany you in this flag-grabbing battle." Qin Zijin said with a smile: "You have to cheer on your own."
Su Jingqiu said calmly: "It's okay. Although there is no road to Wanren Peak, I have climbed it several times. At least I know which direction to go up the mountain."
What is this called? This is called home field advantage.
Bai Tianhe asked, "Who will the 'flag' be placed on later? Su Jingqiu or Qi Ji?"
Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu looked at each other.
"Let it go on you?" Qi Ji looked at Su Jingqiu and took the initiative to say, "You are familiar with the environment. If there is an extreme situation, we can cover them and you can lead the team up the mountain."
Su Jingqiu nodded: "Indeed, but in order to avoid the dispersion of power, I will try my best to stay with you."
Shangquan Yiren was more concerned about another question: "Except for the weapons that each person can bring two, are other items not allowed?"
Everyone looked at Wuchuan, the elegant middle-aged man.
Wuchuan smiled and said, "Two weapons, and the clothes, pants, shoes and socks you are wearing, other than that, you are not allowed to take anything else. Don't even think about sneaking anything in, I will handle this very impartially!"
Shangquan Yiren immediately said: "Then I will bring another spear."
Bai Tianhe also said: "I am the same as you. I carry a sword and a gun."
Su Jingqiu glanced at Wuchuan and said, "Can I bring a bow?"
Wow, this Su Jingqiu is also a bow player!
Wuchuan smiled and said, "You can bring a bow, but it doesn't come with arrows. Are you sure you want to bring it?"
"Then just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll get another sword as a backup." Su Jingqiu said lightly.
Several people looked at Qi Ji.
Qin Zijin said, "Come to think of it, I was in a hurry to leave Jiandu that day, and I didn't even have time to take the new weapons I gave you. I don't know if they are still in the inn now. Fortunately, you took the best single sword with you."
Qi Ji smiled. Only he knew that he had already put all the weapons into Jianma's sword bag.
However, he still cooperated and asked: "I only have this single sword now, and I am worried that I can't cause effective damage to those monsters. Does the Sword Pavilion have a beast-slaying sword? Can you lend me one?"
Qin Zijin nodded: "Of course there is, I will arrange for someone to bring it to you."
After some discussion, several people quickly determined this short preparation work.
An hour passed quickly and it was noon.
Everyone was ready and followed the fourth-level boss to the foot of Jiange Mountain.
The battle for capture the flag is about to begin.
