Xia Ruize won, and the East Theater No. 3 player could choose from 4 to 6 steps to move forward.
Player No. 3 did not hesitate to choose 5 steps. After all, the previous players No. 1 and No. 2 had proved in practice that they would get an energy box for 5 steps, and the penalty for falling into the water after 6 steps, so player 3 could rest assured and boldly Jumped forward 5 steps.
Everyone thought that his choice was correct, but when the No. 3 player stood still on the fifth lotus pier, an accident happened. The sinking lotus pier did not float up and sent the energy box, but completely disappeared. No. 3 player standing on it fell directly into the water!
Suddenly, not only the No. 3 contestant of the East Theater was shocked, but all the contestants were shocked!
What kind of situation was this? Could it be that the reward or punishment represented by each lotus pier could change?
In fact, every time a player successfully landed on the island, the rewards and punishments of the entire lotus pier would be changed again and shown to all audiences in advance, and the organizers and audiences were just to see the panic that these players' abacus failed.
Sure enough, after realizing the hidden meaning behind the No.3 player falling into the water, the players in the four theaters instantly exploded. In this way, wasn´t it meaningless to explore the path with the player with the highest number? Wasn't the limited time in the third stage unfair to the players with the lower numbers?
Of course, for the player No. 3 of the East Theater who fell into the water, the more important thing was to save himself. After a moment of panic, he subconsciously opened the protective shield. Then, he did not try to attack at all, but crazy swam to the nearest lotus pier, he didn't have many energy boxes, and he couldn't support spending too long in the water.
Xia Ruize, who had been watching player No.3, immediately raised his gun and shot at the waters around player No.3. Ivanov followed closely and was reminded by their actions. Other East Theater players helped to shoot and support player No.3 who fell into the water.
Among them, players were not indifferent, but the muddy water was there, some people were shooting to help, but in fact the laser gun was far beyond the normal energy storage time before shooting a blow, obviously trying to save their energy.
It was a pity that player No. 3, who was not mentally prepared in advance, still moved a bit slower, failed to grasp the best escape time between life and death, and was dragged and interfered by underwater mutant creatures. In the end, he couldn´t climb the lotus pier again.
Competitor No. 3 completely disappeared under the water, and the sinking fifth lotus pier floated again, and the water quickly returned to calm, leaving the competitor who fell silent on the shore.
The players were shocked and dumbfounded, especially those who were drawn to the back of the serial number. They thought that when it was their turn to cross the lotus pier, the meaning of all the lotus pier representatives had been explored. They just needed to swish and pass easily.
Therefore, even if they knew that the remaining time was pressing, everyone still had a bit of hope. As long as the previous players laid a good foundation, the last few players would be able to pass quickly after.
But reality once again gave them a hammer, and the organizer's harsh lower limit was much lower than they thought it would be.
The rewards and punishments behind the lotus pier were replaced!
There was nothing more desperate than this, which meant that time was getting tighter, and the ever-decreasing time made people want to kill all the players in front of them with a gun!
what...?
The third level, Monopoly, was it forbidden to attack each other with theater players?
Devilish thoughts appeared in the minds of many players, and they recalled it carefully. Just as the second level maze did not prohibit players from attacking each other, the third level did not seem to prohibit players from attacking each other…
In that case, it was better to…
Xia Ruize keenly perceived that the atmosphere in the theater had quietly changed. The players silently opened the distance between each other, silently thinking about something with weird expressions, and silently preparing for something.
Xia Ruize looked at the curtain that showed the situation of the other three theaters. The scenes were surprisingly similar. The only difference was probably the South Theater, because the South Theater was composed of seven players close together to guard against the abnormal contestant number 7.
Setting a time limit was the conspiracy of the designers behind it, and it did everything possible to imply that the players were too many, and it was the best choice to try to reduce the number of players.
In an increasingly weird atmosphere, the eleventh round began. This round was more interesting for the East Theater. Counting backwards, it was the turn of the 4th player to fight, and the 4th round was also the turn of the player to walk the lotus pier.
As soon as player No. 4 woke up from the fact that player No. 3 had been eliminated, he was entangled. was he going to fight or go to the lotus pier?
Facing his question, the host asked the East Theater No. 4 player to step on the moving board and said maliciously: "Who knows if you can successfully come back and step on the lotus pier? Hehehe…"
In the end, the No. 4 player of the East Theater did not come back, because he ran into the No. 7 player of the South Theater. The perverted person adhered to the usual personality and would never let his opponent leave the opposite side alive.
So, in a blink of an eye, it was the turn of No. 5 Xia Ruize to step on the lotus pier in the East Theater. Contestant No. 4 of the East Theater was defeated in this round, and he could take one to three steps forward.
In the inexplicable gaze of the teammates behind, Xia Ruize jumped up from the balcony and jumped to the first lotus pier two meters away. The distance between the lotus piers was actually quite large, which was why when the players was dropped, it was difficult to climb the next lotus pier.
Starting from the shore, Xia Ruize enabled the ability to backtrack. What made his heart sink was that after standing on the first lotus pier, he did not "see" anything related to rewards and punishments on the lotus pier below.
Containing his mind, Xia Ruize continued to leap forward. Since there was no way to get a prompt in advance, he should advance to cover the water. In order to speed up, he must walk forward as much as possible every time.
After jumping twice in a row, Xia Ruize stood on the third lotus pier.
The lotus pier sank as usual. At this moment, Xia Ruize's heart moved. It turned out that while the lotus pier was sinking, a line inside the one-meter-high lotus pier was turned over and a line of text lit up at the same time:
[Reward: One step forward.]
The next second, the lotus pier floated up, revealing the line of reward text on the surface.
That was to say, the ability of spatial backtracking allowed Xia Ruize to learn about the content of this reward and punishment about a second in advance. If the content of the lotus pier was punishment, this ability could give Xia Ruize a moment to prepare in advance.
Xia Ruize suddenly relaxed a lot, don't look at it just one second ahead, but between life and death, the half-second gap may cause completely different results.
With this guarantee, Xia Ruize was two points more confident that he could pass the lotus pier smoothly.
When Xia Ruize felt a little relaxed because he found his advantage, the Eastern Theater players behind him booed unanimously. What kind of person was it that he was embarrassed to take a step forward and write as a reward? This was obviously a punishment!
With reliance in his heart, Xia Ruize jumped to the next lotus pier without hesitation. This time, the result of the lotus pier was blank.
The audience who followed the game sighed with disappointment because they did not see Xia Ruize in danger. On the contrary, the other players in the East Theater were a little relieved. If the Lotus Pier was the last one to die, the people behind them would really dare not go.
In this round, the No. 1 contestant of the South Theater finally made it to the central island after a long period of tossing back and forth.
South Theater No. 1 player was the only surviving player to get the No. 1 card so far. The other three No. 1 players were killed on the way to explore the lotus pier. Only South Theater No. 1 player, although twice encountered punishment, and also encountered a penalty of falling into the water, he survived smoothly, relying on his strength to rush through the hell road.
Other players casted envious expressions on him.
At the same time, the player No. 2 of the Western Theater, who was already not far from the finish line on the other side, encountered the penalty lotus pier, and was flew out at an angle. Unfortunately, he had already encountered a penalty lotus pier that asked to leave all the energy boxes before. After falling into the water this time, there was not much energy left to open the protective shield, and he disappeared after a few flutters in the water.
It was a pity to fall not far from the finish line, but no one had voted for sympathy. The surviving players were all tortured by this level, and the sympathy mood was long gone, probably only worry about themselves.
In the 11th round, it was the turn of the No. 2 player who had already boarded the central island to represent the East Theater.
East Theater No. 2 player was currently the first player who had reached the finish line to enter the round sequence. He was in the most relaxed state. He had no eagerness in his heart, nor a strong desire to win, and he appeared to be himself in a few battles. After there was no too much water, he resolutely gave in and ended the battle.
The lower ranked player in the East Theater was so angry because of the rowing behavior of the No. 2 player, but the inner dissatisfaction could not be expressed, so he had to hold his breath secretly.
Xia Ruize didn't want to stay on the lotus pier. If he could take 3 steps, he would never take 2 steps. So, he jumped 3 times and jumped to the seventh lotus pier.
This time, the text turned out from inside the lotus pier was: [Punishment: Fly once.]
Almost instantly, Xia Ruize tried his best to straighten his body. When he felt a huge thrust from the lotus pier under his feet, he had already started to adjust his body shape, so he was bounced into the sky at a relatively small angle.
The teammates stared at Xia Ruize's rapid rise, and then watched Xia Ruize who was still in the air shot a shot at the lake, adjusted the slightly skewed direction with the recoil of the laser gun, and then he abruptly turned in mid-air.
The final result was that Xia Ruize was not shot and flew around. He almost fell into a lake less than 1 meter away from the seventh lotus pier. Fortunately, his outstretched hand had already reached the lotus pier.
Xia Ruize opened the protective shield, stepped on the water hard with both legs, and pulled hard with his left hand at the same time, and most of his body was instantly pulled onto the lotus pier.
Xia Ruize also knew that something under the water was attacking and dragging his protective shield, but he moved faster. As soon as his arm propped, his lower body was also out of the water, and the whole person turned on the lotus pier.
This series of actions was completed within three seconds, and the onlookers didn't even have time to help shoot. Xia Ruize had already re-mounted the lotus pier safely.
In the eyes of the onlookers, this was the penalty executed by the lotus Pier, Xia Ruize escaped safely, and the penalty ended.
As for the intermediate process? What about the struggle after falling into the water? Why didn´t it seem to be all?
In other words, it did, but the speed was too fast, and it was all over when the onlookers reacted.
Seeing Xia Ruize standing steadily on the seventh lotus pier, the players were silent. It turned out that it was not that the penalty of the lotus pier was life-threatening, but the players who were eliminated were too weak… No, they refused to accept such reasons.
The two players who had reached the central island had also fallen into the water, but which one had not tried hard and hard to finally climb the lotus pier again? In comparison, Xia Ruize was so relaxed that it was difficult for others to accept it.
After two more rounds, Xia Ruize encountered the punishment of falling into the water once, and fell into the water again. This time, the other players had to accept it. Maybe they were really too weak…
This time, after Xia Ruize suddenly fell, he instantly moved the laser gun to his left hand, drew a high-energy shock sword with his right hand, and then, before waiting for the underwater mutant creature to drag him, he pierced him down, leaving nothing but exclamation.
Xia Ruize had "seen" that most of the mutant creatures under the water were huge and dense mutant water plants. These water plants would entangle the players who fall into the water desperately. Because there were too many water plants, no matter how many you could break apart, the roots would continue to wrap around.
In addition, various mutant fishes sporadically appeared among the aquatic plants, most of which were huge in size and looked really terrifying.
Xia Ruize knew that a laser gun that was more effective for a single object was suitable for attacking mutant fish, and high-energy shock swords were definitely better for attacking mutant water plants. Xia Ruize was ready to "spear" fish and "cut" water plants!
The vibration frequency of the high-energy shock sword was maximized. Even if the underwater resistance was not small, Xia Ruize's strength was strong. He swung the long sword with a stronger force than on the ground, so the attack speed of the long sword was not slow.
Facing the entangled mutant water plants, he did not dodge but greeted them. The long sword in his hand continued to dance, and a small piece of water grass was cut off from the middle. He cut as many mutant water plants as they came, and Xia Ruize even took the initiative to dive and cut more water plants.
At the same time, the laser gun in his left hand was not idle, and would shoot immediately after every energy storage.
The underwater mutant fish may have had enough space to grow, and most of them were very large, but their heads were still too small compared to their huge bodies. As long as they aim at their most critical little heads, they could be easily solved with a single shot.
The reason why the previous players had difficulty getting out of trouble was actually because there were too many water plants, and most of the random attacks fell on the mutant fish, which would only bleed and it was difficult to kill with one blow.
As a result, the players in the theater saw that after Xia Ruize disappeared to the surface of the water, not only did the water surface not return to calm as before, on the contrary, the water surface continued to churn violently, and soon, large swaths of blue blood mixed with the water plants floated to the surface of the water.
The players stiffened their faces and watched as the area of blue blood and weeds continued to expand, filling the area around the 16th lotus pier, and even began to spread outward.
Xia Ruize was getting downwards. He was not reckless, but could see the surrounding situation about six meters in advance. The ability to backtrack in space was slightly smaller in dense water than in the air, but it was also enough to protect his safety.
The reason for the downward movement was that the true roots of the water plants were still deep underwater, but the cutting of the water plants was inexhaustible, and the roots were still to be solved.
So, after "seeing" the roots of the aquatic plants, Xia Ruize shot directly.
Rogge star actually had special underwater armor and underwater weapons, but the organizer did not prepare them, and Xia Ruize could only use armor and weapons for land use.
In just three minutes, Xia Ruize's right-handed high-energy shock sword continuously swung and cut the aquatic plants and mutant fish that were constantly surrounding him. In addition to the energy storage time, Xia Ruize's left-handed laser gun fired more than fifty shots back and forth, solving two problems. Sixteen mutant fish and twenty-seven aquatic plants. The aquatic plants in the area closest to Xia Ruize were even emptied!
Three minutes later, Xia Ruize began to float up. No way, the oxygen in his helmet finally ran out, and he needed to go to the water to rise up.
What Xia Ruize didn't know was that during these three minutes, all the players in the four theaters were staring at the waters. There was no way, the blue blood with a larger and larger range was very conspicuous in the turquoise lake. Not to mention that there were still a lot of broken grass constantly floating on the surface, all of which show that the person who "made" the broken grass underwater had not finished playing.
When they finally saw Xia Ruize rising from the water, all the players felt that in the accident they still had such a feeling. Even after they saw Xia Ruize floating there but not being dragged into the water, they still felt that it was completely understandable.
This was of course impossible!
How did this person wear land armor to counterattack mutant creatures underwater? What's even more incredible was that it looked like his results were pretty good! was he still a human? The players had all kinds of swear words in their hearts to vent their depression.
Not long after Xia Ruize emerged from the water, the 16th lotus pier also floated beside Xia Ruize, so Xia Ruize stretched out his hand and pulled it, and then safely climbed onto the lotus pier again.
Seeing him shaking his legs and shaking his hands, even opening his helmet and shaking his head, trying to shake off the water on the armor, all the players could only put on stiff faces.
They now suspect, was Xia Ruize really going through the same level as them?
How did they feel that everyone's game difficulty was very different?
The director at the backstage couldn't help but applaud for Xia Ruize's strength. To be honest, the design presided over a lot of battles of kings, so there were really only a handful of players who have been amazed many times.
Xia Ruize was a very good player. The director watched Xia Ruize's audience love rate rise from the original seventh to second. He was very pleased and looked forward to Xia Ruize's more exciting performance. After all, the better he performed, the more money he represented.
After watching Xia Ruize's performance, the mentality of other players was different. They even began to feel that the lotus pier was nothing more than that. This illusion was broken until the next player who fell into the water struggled for a long time and failed to climb up.
The players suddenly realized, Xia Ruize was Xia Ruize, they were them, they were different! Not to be confused!
