Chapter 34 The elimination round begins!
When Lin Manman saw the gift of life blooming, he immediately thought of his brother, and couldn't help feeling ecstatic in his heart. Who would have thought that before she received news from the alliance, she would encounter a spiritual beast that could heal souls!
"I'm sorry, little guy. Although it's immoral to force a contract while you are unconscious, you are too important to me!" Lin Manman selectively put aside his personal qualities and lived a wicked life for the time being.
After Lin Manman carved a soul contract for the tree spirit, he drove the four little ones to continue cooking while he stared at the tree spirit in trance. There are two talents and one racial talent at level 1. Although there are only three skills, the skills can be learned in the future. Did the old man not notice such a talent, or did he give it to her on purpose?
The words before parting, "You have to take good care of this spiritual fruit." Did she hear it wrong, or did the old man actually know it all along? If he knew it early on, who was he?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Manman felt that the other party was more likely to know. Thinking that my three perfunctory answers had been replaced by a top-notch spiritual pet, I felt a little guilty in my heart.
"What is this? A doll? Did you buy it today?" Fang Yaqi came out of the shower and saw Lin Manman squatting beside the bed. There was also a cute grass-green doll on the bed.
Lin Manman looked up at her and smiled. He stretched out his finger and poked the dryad's belly, and the dryad let out an involuntary "squeak" after being poked.
Realizing that he was being discovered while pretending to be faint, the dryad opened his pure black eyes and panicked, inciting the two pairs of small translucent wings behind his back to fly in front of Lin Manman.
"嘤嘤~嘤嘤嘤..." Mom, there is a snake trying to eat me, please save me, wuwu...
"Hiss? Hiss!" Who is your mother? This is my mother, don’t mistake me for your mother!
After finishing her meal, Hongyu hurriedly came over, the scales on both sides exploded, and she let out a threatening hiss at the little thing in Lin Manman's arms.
"嘤嘤, 嘤嘤嘤." Here is the breath of the mother tree.
The little thing huddled in front of Lin Manman and pulled at her collar with his little paws.
Lin Manman was stunned, and quickly opened his collar and pulled out a necklace. The pendant of the necklace can be opened, and the withered seed of the tree of life is placed inside. Does this little thing have anything to do with the tree of life?
"What the fuck? This is actually alive? It's a little too cute, give me a squeeze." Fang Yaqi reached out to touch the tree spirit who was holding Lin Manman's necklace.
Lin Manman slapped Fang Yaqi's hand open. "Okay, don't you see that you're scared to death?"
I have to say that the appearance of the Dryad is really similar to Yangtze River No. 7, except that there is a leaf on the top of the furry head and two pairs of translucent wings on the back. The rest is almost the same.
"Be good, don't be afraid. I have signed a contract with you, and I will be your beast master from now on. They are your brothers and sisters, and they will not hurt you." Lin Manman raised his hand with a kind smile. He called the four spiritual pets to his side, "From now on, you can call me Xiaoqi. This is Hongyu, and this is Ah-Dai. They are younger than you, and they are younger brothers. This is Yinyue, the older sister. This is Brother Pingtou, It’s the eldest brother.”
Lin Manman patiently introduced family members to Xiao Qi, suppressing the villain's laughter. This is her big baby, and it's a big baby that she got for free, so she needs to take good care of it.
"Roar." This is too small, no bigger than my fingernail.
"Ouch~" So cute~
"Hiss" Humph, there is another one vying for favor.
Ah-Dai squatted on top of Brother Flathead, coldly and silent. His sharp eyes flickered for a moment when he looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiaoqi held the seed of the tree of life and buried her head tightly in Lin Manman's arms. Although the soul contract no longer rejects the scent of these spiritual beasts, Zeng Jin's living environment makes him subconsciously afraid of overly large spiritual beasts.
When Fang Yaqi heard Lin Manman's words, the expression on her face instantly turned into a black question mark. "How come you got another spiritual pet while I was taking a fucking bath?"
Lin Manman blinked innocently, "You may not believe it, but this is the fruit that the old man gave me."
"Ah?????????" Fang Yaqi had more black question marks. "Guoguo... turns into a spiritual pet? Is there such a good thing?" Lin Manman shrugged. She was sighing slightly in her heart. The first time she saw Xiao Qi, she wanted to contract it, and then immediately went back to treat her brother. But the game is about to come, and if she runs back now, she may not only expose Xiao Qi's information, but also shake the morale of their team. After all, everyone has been training hard together for more than a month just for this competition.
Just be patient. Anyway, I was already prepared for a long wait of three to five years. Now it's only a few days and it will be over soon.
Time flies by and the knockout round officially begins!
The five people arrived at the competition venue early in the morning. Because there were many participating teams, the organizer divided four competition venues and held the competition at the same time. Based on their registration numbers, Linmanman’s first team was assigned to Division B for the knockout round.
After entering the competition area, lots are drawn according to different competition groups. The lots drawn are divided into five colors: red, yellow, blue, green and purple. There are ten signs of each different color, and the order of the ten teams playing is not limited. As long as one of the two teams against them wins, they will continue to challenge the next team in the same color group. If they win five games in a row, they will directly advance to the top 64. If you lose, you will wait for the next challenge opportunity. If you lose two games in a row, you will be eliminated directly.
The team has tacitly handed over the matter of drawing lots to Lin Manman. Lin Manman didn't care, she was still very confident that she would pass the knockout rounds. Lin Manman drew a green group lottery, and the rest will wait for the Level 1 group to finish the competition.
The competition in the Level 1 group is very fast. Because they have just awakened, everyone has little experience in fighting and has not learned many skills. A few skills often determine the outcome.
There were fifty teams in the entire Level 1 group, and the competition was completed in less than three hours.
When it was the referee's turn to draw the signatures for the Level 2 group, Fang Yaqi shook Lin Manman's arm and said, "Watch the color the referee draws. I'm so nervous. I don't want to wait until the afternoon to compete again."
The next second, I saw the referee holding up the drawn lot, and the end of the lot was green.
Lin Manman gave Fang Yaqi a thumbs up. "If I were a koi, you would be the poisonous milk."
"Let's go, end the morning early." Zhu Zibin was the first to stand up and walk to the competition venue.
When the five people stood still on the field, five people came up one after another from the opposite side. The five of them all seemed to be high school students, and the configuration was two warriors, two elemental mages, and a priest.
The two teams nodded to each other as a greeting. The referee blew a whistle and the game officially started.
Lin Manman summoned Brother Flathead. The moment Brother Flathead appeared on the field, there was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding auditorium, and the faces of the opponents on the opposite side also turned pale.
"Wow, is this really a second-level spiritual pet?"
"Not necessarily. Who said that a second-level beast master's spiritual pet must be a second-level beast master?"
"This body must be over three meters tall. Is there really no problem?"
"The referees next to me are all masters of level 6 or above, and there are priests who are ready to rescue at any time. Nothing will happen."
“I didn’t expect the Level 2 group to be so strong right from the start.”
"Yeah, yeah, Level 1 is really nothing to see."
This was a tactic the five of them had discussed. In the early stage, they tried to use Flathead Brother to end the battle quickly to avoid revealing too much about the strength of their team. At the same time, with Brother Flathead's physical suppression, it may be able to deter some teams that feel they are not strong enough. If the opponent directly admits defeat, it can also save a lot of energy.
