It didn't mean that Xia Ruize could climb up safely after falling into the water, just like Xia Ruize could get into the water to kill mutant creatures didn't mean that they could too!
Monopoly continued to go round after round, Xia Ruize was still eight lotus piers to finish the road, waiting for the result of the battle, he closed his eyes slightly to rest.
On the surface, it seemed that it was too much effort to rest before. In fact, Xia Ruize was controlling his newly acquired baby. The arbitrarily cut aquatic plants finally contributed six treasure chests and gave Xia Ruize six [aquatic seeds], the mutant fish that he killed, opened two treasure chests and gave him one [Triangular fish roe] and one [Swordfish roe].
One of the abilities of Xia Ruize's other lineage [A Preliminary Exploration of the mind] was [Hands of the Mind], in layman's terms, it was a control ability. It was impossible for native humans to see the treasure chest in the mission world. The treasure chest grabbed his side and fumbled a few treasure chests.
[Swordfish roe], [triangle fish roe] and three [waterweed seeds] were thrown into the water, [swordfish roe] after use, turned into a slap-sized swordfish, [triangle fish roe] was a small fish with an approximate triangle shape. Although these two fish were still small in size, they had great growth potential. Under Xia Ruize's instructions, they swam at will and slowly grow larger.
Under the control of Xia Ruize, the seeds of aquatic plants grew wildly. Under the cover of the aquatic plants covering the lake water, no one could find them. There were a few more "fake aquatic plants" and "fake fish" here.
Finally, after another three rounds of competition, Xia Ruize got an energy box reward and successfully landed on the central island. Although Xia Ruize had relaxed, when it was his turn to fight, he did not play sloppy, and focused on winning. Players in the same theater could make strides forward.
At other times, Xia Ruize carefully observed the situation in the arena, and quickly discovered that since the eighth-round host announced that there was a countdown, the attrition rate of players had greatly increased. Under time pressure, many players in the battle were dead. Not to mention the lotus pier. The attrition rate had always been very high, relying solely on luck.
The biggest impact of the reduction in the number of players was that if the game of Death Monopoly was considered extreme, it would take hundreds of rounds to end, but the actual situation was that after less than fifty rounds, the game was completely over.
In the end, 7 contestants from the East Theater and the North Theater each successfully arrived on the central island, 4 from the South Theater, and 6 from the West Theater to clear the customs.
Looking at the surprisingly small number of players, the players who successfully cleared the level only felt tired. The third level was too cruel, and the staff was reduced by more than half. Among them, the battle and the lotus pier each consumed half.
The continuous wheel fights and the fearful lotus pier road made the players physically and mentally exhausted. Some people simply laid on the ground of the central island and refused to move. Other players followed suit and collapsed to rest.
Except for a handful of people who successfully passed the customs, everyone was not clean, and there was nothing you question me or your plot. It was more important to hurry up and regain your energy.
There were five minutes left in the three-hour countdown. During this five-minute period, the host did not move and seemed to be kind enough to leave time for the players to rest.
But in fact, the background was a busy scene. The wonderful scenes in the third level were edited and made into a special collection to be pushed to the audience, especially the scenes of the players fighting and the players falling into the water.
The contestants couldn´t see the underwater scenes, but the organizers who prepared special photography equipment in advance could see it. Therefore, the most exciting pictures were all edited into fragments and pushed to all members with independent viewing systems. To attract more viewers to watch live shows.
Among these wonderful scenes, Xia Ruize's scene of fighting against mutant creatures underwater with a sword in one hand and a gun in one hand was wonderful. Once this collection was pushed, as the director wanted, the ratings had been further improved, and it had even been upgraded to the previous episode.
The backstage staff was very excited. Such a high ratings meant that they could get a huge bonus after the end of the show. The excited director even pulled down the screen that showed Xia Ruize's picture above and kissed it hard.
You know, after that underwater battle, Xia Ruize's popularity skyrocketed, and soon surpassed the No. 7 player in the South Theater, who was called "the killing demon" by the audience, and continued to widen the lead gap. People had attracted a lot of popularity and rewards from the audience for the show.
Therefore, even if the countdown to the third level had returned to zero, no one could care about the bunch of players lying on the ground.
At this time, a new task reminder appeared in Xia Ruize's mind:
[Main Mission: Successfully pass three levels
Complete evaluation: perfect
Completion reward: reward five hundred survival points. Reward1 free attribute point (Extra reward for perfect task evaluation)]
Although Xia Ruize didn't know how the "perfect" of the task evaluation was achieved, he was still very happy that he could also get the perfect evaluation alone.
Not to mention that the perfect task evaluation would also reward an additional attribute point, which was not available in the previous novice world, Xia Ruize immediately added to the mental power.
Both of his bloodlines are the bloodlines of the main mental power, the stronger the mental power, the stronger the bloodline ability.
Following the prompt for the completion of the main task, a prompt for the opening of the extended task also appeared:
[Extremely desperate and desperate, you decide to participate in a "Battle of Kings". This is a life-saving gamble. The only way to win is to pass the test and go to the end to become the king!
Extended mission: continue to participate in follow-up levels
Mission completion: every time you complete a level, you will be rewarded with five hundred survival points
Special reminder: You can ask to leave the mission world at any time. To leave the mission world, you need to stand still for five seconds]
Xia Ruize repeatedly looked at the mission prompts and noticed something interesting. The introduction word of the extended mission was the same as the main mission. In other words, no more information about the mission world was revealed.
But from another angle, this revealed a key point, that is, the mission or the main god behind the mission hoped that the trialer could pass all the levels, and finally become the so-called king.
Xia Ruize didn't know how many levels there were left, but he didn't want to leave now. Even if the special reminder hinted that there was a certain risk in continuing to stay, as it said that it was needed to stay still in order to get out of the world. In an emergency, it may not be easy to get out of the task.
Xia Ruize remembered what the teammate in the novice world once said, the extended task was actually an additional question for the top students. As long as you protect your life, you could earn money.
If his teammate encountered this situation, he would definitely take it over immediately. Thinking of this, Xia Ruize couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be affected a lot. When he thought of the next challenge, there was a sense of eager excitement in his heart.
It was not until more than ten minutes later that the organizers finally completed a new round of promotion and the wonderful review of the first three levels, and stabilized the new influx of the audience, and then once again drove the surviving players to work for them.
"Since the warriors seem to be very tired, then we will come to a simple and relaxed level in the fourth level. We have also prepared more suitable equipment for you to help you be stringer. Don't be too grateful, hee hee …"
Suddenly, the gloomy sound awakened the players who were resting. In the eyes of everyone, 21 moving boards were placed in front of the players with weapons and equipment.
Many local players from Rogge had experience in military and brigade. It could be seen at a glance that the weapons and equipment on the mobile board were suitable for waters.
Suddenly, the faces of the players went dark.
Before the third level Monopoly needed to use underwater equipment, but the damn behind-the-scenes personnel did not provide them with it. If equipped with streamlined armor and air-beam guns suitable for underwater, where did players still need to be afraid of falling into the water?
It was all right now, the third level was over, most of the players were dead, only to provide them with underwater equipment, it was simply mocking them.
Furthermore, this equipment meant that the next level must be related to water, but now many players had shadows on the water and didn't want to enter the water at all.
The strong and domineering organizer did not care about the players' wishes, as soon as the moving board was tilted, and the equipment was dropped in front of each player, it was finished.
But could the players say they refuse to use it? Obviously not, if you wanted to get the final reward, you could only continue.
Xia Ruize calmly observed the players next to him, taking off the protective armor and putting on the streamlined armor like the others.
The style of the streamlined armor matched its name. It was obviously much smaller. The helmet was fully transparent and the field of vision was completely unobstructed. The flippers could be ejected from the soles of the feet, and thrusters could be ejected everywhere in the body, that is to say, as long as energy was needed, it was enough to move fast in the water.
In addition to streamlined armor, the organizer also provided two air-beam guns dedicated to underwater combat. This gun could shoot compressed air beams in the water and penetrate the enemy, except that the energy storage time was longer than that of laser guns. The underwater combat effect was better than that of the laser gun. Fortunately, two air beam guns could make up for the shortcomings of the need for energy storage.
Xia Ruize transferred all the energy boxes to the new streamlined armor, but even if he had an empty beam gun, Xia Ruize still fixed his laser gun, high-energy shock sword, and beam bow to the new armor.
He wanted to take these weapons away directly, but he couldn't just throw them here.
After the 24 players were all equipped, they gathered in a glass room in the middle of the island according to the host's request.
Then, there was a huge "bang" sound, and the players noticed that the island under their feet began to vibrate violently. Then, the island gradually sank, and it was actually sinking into the lake?
Even if it had been predicted in advance that the fourth stage might be underwater, this unusually familiar feeling of sinking still made the players feel chills.
Soon, the island sank completely into the lake, and the players continued to sink.
It had been sinking for more than 30 meters, and there was another loud noise. The island seemed to have bottomed out and finally stopped sinking. At this time, the players under the protection of the glass room were all shocked by the sight outside the glass.
After the turbid water gradually cleared up, you could see countless mutant fishes that had gathered and were swimming around the glass house. A large amount of water plants also spread quickly to the location of the glass house, quickly removing all the original islands. At this moment, the mutant water creature is the master, and the human player was the alien being watched.
Just as the players were frightened by the bad situation on the battlefield, they might encounter next, the floor in the center of the glass room opened and a small glass display cabinet rose up.
Looking at the scene outside the glass room, Xia Ruize heard Cloris screaming in horror before he turned around. It was hard to imagine a man who could make such a harsh scream, but what was even more terrifying was that the surroundings were ringing similar screams, one after another.
Xia Ruize subconsciously "looked" at the expressions of the people around him, so he turned around and looked at the glass display cabinet in the middle, and also made an expression of extreme surprise and panic.
Of this surprise, at least five points were true.
Because Xia Ruize had recognized what the mutant creature with the size of a palm, a chubby body, and a pair of beautiful transparent wings in the display cabinet was—Xiang Chong!
In the "Analysis of Rogge's Mutant Creatures", the last part focuses on the fact that Xiang Chong was a mutant creature that looked small but also cute and harmless.
Xiang Chong seldom directly attacked humans, but it did great harm to human beings. The reason why it was called "Xiang Chong1" was because it assumed the role of guide in mutant creatures!
To put it simply, the worm would radiate pheromone, this pheromone would crazily attract mutant creatures that should have no reason to follow it, thinking about it, there was a large number of mutant creatures around them, it was a disaster.
And another special feature of Xiang Chong was that it was a mutated creature of water, land and air, that is to say, there were almost no mutant creatures that it could not attract.
Therefore, Xiang Chong itself would not attack humans, but Xiang Chong would bring a massive army of mutant creatures to completely submerge human gathering points.
According to reports, in the first few years of the war between humans and mutant creatures, Xiang Chong was a terrifying super-killer that made humans feel horrified.
The only good news was that the number of worms was extremely small, and the difficulty of breeding was extremely high. After the humans gathered all their forces to kill most of the worms, the worms once withdrew from the history of war between humans and mutant creatures.
Even if humans had the upper hand and suppress the mutant creatures within a controllable range, the worms were definitely the source of the disaster that would wipe human out as soon as they appear.
This also explained why Rogge star's local players would panic after seeing Xiang Chong. Some people even ran away, but they directly hit the surrounding glass, because Xiang Chong had always been in the forefront of horror since childhood.
"This, here, why, how can there be this, this?"
Some players questioned with a trembling voice; Xia Ruize seemed to be able to hear the sound of his teeth fighting.
"Hehehehe, this kind of performance is not decent enough, warriors can rest assured that this lake is completely sealed off, and the information of Xiang Chong will never be secreted to the outside world.
However, those who stay in the lake can feel the power of Xiang Chong.
Next, let's play a game of drumming and spreading flowers. This cute worm is a flower. What the warriors have to do is to throw it to other players in time before the mutant creatures come to you. This level only requires you to persist for 30 minutes, isn´t it very easy?
Oh, I almost forgot to remind that there are three 'ninja turtles' in this water area. If you don't want the 'ninja turtles' to catch up with you, you still have to fight for the worms in your own hands, hehehe… …"
This time, the host rarely explained a lot of content, but Xia Ruize only noticed that with the host's explanation, the faces of other players could no longer be described as ugly.
"I quit! I want to quit this game! I quit! I abstain!"
"I want to quit too, I don't play anymore, don't play anymore!"
"This is for us to die, I want to quit!"
A contestant shouted out as soon as the host's voice fell, and then several contestants followed up and expressed their emotions with excitement.
Catharsis of fear, screaming unwilling to stay in this game.
"Think about the 10 million prize that the king will receive in the end! Don't talk nonsense anymore, warriors, well, look forward to the wonderful performances brought by the warriors. The fourth level will start after 20 minutes. These 20 minutes, you can admire our cute little worm up close to your heart's content, hehehe…"
After leaving a threat, the host disappeared again. After that, no matter how some of the players trapped in the glass room cried and screamed and threatened, the host no longer responded.
"Everyone, I think we have to cooperate fully this time."
Except for some of the players who have collapsed, most of the remaining players still barely maintained their composure. Although each of them looked unsightly, they had to move closer to each other after realizing that the time was tight.
"The fourth level needs to persist for 30 minutes. In these 30 minutes, whoever gets the worm will face the siege of all the mutant water creatures except the tortoise.
Those who don't get Xiang Chong will face the attack of the ninja turtles.
Therefore, this level requires us to control the time and pass the insects to each other in time to ensure that they will neither be besieged by mutant creatures nor attacked by ninja turtle. "
The player who took the initiative to stand up and preside over the overall situation was the former South Theater No. 1 player, and the only surviving player No. 1. As the person who led the exploration of the lotus pier, he survived smoothly, which was enough to prove his strength.
What he said simply and clearly pointed out the difficulty of the fourth level, that is, balance.
Xiang Chong could attract almost all mutant creatures, but there were a few exceptions. The ninja turtle was one of them. Humans still didn't know why. Other mutant creatures would rush madly after receiving the pheromone scattered by Xiang Chong, but ninja turtle was different, ninja turtle would deliberately avoid Xiang Chong.
In addition to this feature, the bigger feature of the ninja turtle was that it was big, swimming very fast in the water, as an omnivorous mutant creature, humans were also on the ninja turtle's diet.
Whether it was a large group of mutant creatures or the terrifying ninja turtles, the players were unwilling to encounter them. In the face of such a choice, they would rather choose to die directly.
Xia Ruize was meditating. From the mouths of the players who collapsed, he heard many other players' cognition of the battle of kings, and then realized the weirdness.
