The bidding continued. After realizing that the person with the lowest points might lose the qualification to form a team, the remaining newcomers with only 1,000 points became nervous and hurriedly and slowly participated in the bidding.
Unfortunately, they couldn't win over the old man with higher points, and in the end they could only use it as an auction item for anyone to choose from.
The results of the team formation came out soon. Dong Xiwen and a young white man named Lenaan formed a team. Together, they had a total of 1,100 points left.
A middle-aged man named Zhang Mo and a young girl named Qin Mu formed a team, and they also had 1,100 points left.
Lin Ye formed a team with a young man named Fan Zhanwei and had 1,200 points left.
Qisi and Nianfu have 1,100 points left, Green and Chu Xun have 1,700 points left, and Chang Xu and Liu Yuhan have 1,000 points left.
Chang Xu's team indeed had the lowest points and became the so-called "tail wolves".
There was a middle-aged white man named "Cinderella" left, who failed to successfully form a team.
He was eliminated simply because he was unlucky enough to be the last one to take the stage.
He realized his fate the moment the other players formed a team to complete the task, and knelt down to Qis on the stage, his voice trembling: "Please, I really don't want to die... ...I am just at the last step of my research, and there are still thousands of people waiting for my medicine..."
He began to ramble on about his contribution to society, using all kinds of unintelligible professional terms, trying to tell everyone how his research would benefit mankind.
I don’t know whether these words are true or false, but they are not important.
Taking practical value as an argument is enough to prove that his value in the game is insignificant.
Otherwise, as a smart person, he can analyze the pros and cons when the penultimate player comes on stage to convince another bidder to team up with him instead of making unnecessary bids.
What he is saying now is nothing more than hoping to persuade Zeiss to commit suicide immediately so that others can pass the level.
It's a pity that for Zeiss, even if everyone in the world is killed and he lives, there is no problem. At most, he will kill himself after a few years because of boring life.
When he thought that if he died, it would be easy for others to live, he felt uncomfortable all over, and he became more determined to live a little longer.
The young man in red sighed: "What does this have to do with me? I don't want to die, no one wants to die, and you don't have to die."
He stopped. , but the meaning couldn’t be clearer.
If Chang Xu hadn’t activated the identity card effect and added a new main mission, the dead person in this round would be Nian Fu.
If Chang Xu hadn't lent the points, it would have been Lin Ye who died, not the newcomers with a thousand points.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with not taking the serious route to complete the level, but thinking about killing someone to cope with the main mission.
They hated Qisi for being a human being, why didn't he die consciously with the overall situation in mind; they hated Chang Xu for why he had to activate the identity card effect so hastily when it was clear that he couldn't kill Qisi in the first place.
"I don't want to die...I'm sorry..." Cinderella murmured and suddenly rushed towards Qiss.
A sharp scalpel formed an outline in his right hand. He raised it high and stabbed Qiss in the heart.
However, at the moment when he was about to touch, his movements froze, as if there was an invisible transparent wall blocking him and Qiss, preventing the blade from advancing even half a minute.
His eyes were covered with a layer of gray-white in an instant, and his face was as pale as a zombie.
As if his soul and consciousness had been taken away, he stepped back blankly and stood back in the center of the round platform, like a dead thing, eerily quiet.
Goat said before, 'The game has not officially started yet, and hurting each other outside the game is not allowed.'
Cinderella violated this and was punished by the copy mechanism.
Amid the groans of the animals, the goat counted down indifferently: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
The countdowns were like cold ice hitting the ground, and otherwise there was silence.
The players waited silently for the end of this session, and no one planned to speak up for Cinderella.
“Three, two, one! No one bids!”
The corners of the goat’s lips raised slightly, with a strange smile: “It’s a pity that this new friend couldn’t be found because The team that was willing to accept him was eliminated on the first day!
"This is not because of his lack of ability, but because he has lost the blessing of luck. It is undeniable that he is still a 'human hero'..."
The animals laughed with a high-pitched voice. It sounds harsh, as if the expression "hero" is also a type of joke.
Chang Xu stared at the goat, assessing the distance and strength.
The rules only say that players cannot be attacked, so... what about taking NPC hostage?
A huge black scythe appeared behind him, and a slender golden chain was connected to the iron ring above, lingering in the aura of death.
[Name: Death]
[Type: Prop]
[Effect: Harvest life, can spend energy to teleport within five meters]
[Remarks: Death Commonly used sickle. Is the elusive god of death or the scythe? This is a problem. 】
Chang Xu raised his hand to hold the sickle, and concentrated on teleporting to the back of the goat, but he felt that his body was frozen in place, unable to move.
At the same time, all players heard the system announcement:
[The power of the gods is inviolable, and gods cannot be killed by humans. 】
This is a warning and a final conclusion.
In this dungeon, the players seem to have no choice but to let them slaughter the "gods" with animal heads and human bodies...
The goat didn't even look at Chang Xu. , turned his head to look at Cinderella, whose eyes were dull, and continued: "Of course, we also want to congratulate this hero. Although he was abandoned by his human companions, he is honored to have the qualification to become a sacrifice to the gods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the round platform under the players' feet suddenly shook.
Everyone subconsciously took two steps back to the outside. Only Cinderella still stood blankly, with a trickle of saliva dripping from her mouth.
It may be a blessing for him to die unconsciously.
I saw a large hole slowly opening in the center of the round platform, revealing the smelly blood water almost overflowing below. Several skeletons were looming under the water, their arms twisted into weird shapes, as if they were trying to climb onto the shore.
Cinderella fell into the bloody water without splashing a drop of blood. She seemed to be swallowed by an invisible giant and sank slowly, leaving only her head exposed.
His shell was being dyed pink at a speed visible to the naked eye. To be more precise, the outer layer of skin was silently disintegrated, exposing the bloody muscles underneath.
Soon, even the muscles melted, collapsing layer by layer like cooked clay, being patiently and meticulously absorbed by the blood, becoming part of the blood.
The bones covered with fascia were scattered weakly, and the head that was originally exposed on the water sank, wrapped in thick blood.
Qisi looked up at the white temple suspended in the sky. The golden vines hung sacredly, calm, solemn and distant.
It seems like two different worlds from the chaotic and bloody Colosseum below, with no connection between the two.
He lowered his eyes and saw the cracked stone slabs of the circular platform slowly closing, leaving no gaps, and they were as flat and intact as ever.
——I don’t know what the principle of this sacrifice is, but there is no vision or movement.
The animals in the audience seemed to have seen some kind of miracle. They cheered high and enthusiastically, making sounds that humans could not understand. They were no different from the fanatic believers of a cult in reality.
The sound sounded like the knell of death to the players' ears.
No matter how experienced you are in dealing with dungeons, people are still afraid of death, especially a painful death that leaves no body intact.
NPCs cannot be killed, the rules of the beast fighting game are not yet clear, and it is not known who will die next. None of them wanted to die, no one wanted to die.
A few players who were hesitant before are now more determined to kill Zeiss.
After all, no matter how powerful Zis is, he is just a human being, who is much easier to deal with than NPCs and copy mechanisms.
They even complained about Green in their hearts.
If Green is willing to lend points to Lin Ye, let Lin Ye and Qis team up, and then Lin Ye seizes the opportunity to backstab a wave of teammates, wouldn't everyone be happy?
The screams of the animals gradually subsided, and the sky suddenly became gloomy, as if it was covered by a dark cloud.
The goat looked around the players and grinned: "Today is over. I believe you are all tired. Now you can go back to your respective rooms to rest.
"Every team of you has The corresponding animal, the location of the room... the gods should have told you already. ”
The system interface in the upper left corner of the line of sight refreshes with an icon.
Zeiss saw a furry, three-dimensional fox head inlaid on a gray base.
[Fox] is the team he belongs to in this copy.
Beside the fox's head is a compass, which rotates slightly as the perspective shifts.
When Qisi cast his peripheral vision in one direction, the pointer pointed forward.
In that direction, a stone door with carved patterns was ajar, which should be his room.
The players all saw their corresponding animals and rooms, but no one moved.
In this kind of confrontational game between camps, it is important to have a lot of information. Everyone wants to know where others live, and they don’t want their location to be exposed.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the animals watching in a circle outside the Colosseum gradually dispersed.
Today's performance is over, and they have seen enough excitement. What the players do next is none of their business.
The goat actively stood at the exit of the Colosseum to maintain order.
After all the animals left, he returned to the round platform and said to the players: "Since one person was eliminated today, all of you have received a piece of food, which has been placed in your respective rooms. I hope you enjoy your meal!" "
Then, like a staff member who was eager to get off work, he turned around and walked quickly to the exit without looking back.
Dong Xiwen stretched his neck and looked at it for a while, then took a tentative step towards the exit.
The next second, new rules are triggered on the system interface of all players:
[During the beast fighting game, humans cannot leave the Colosseum. 】
...That's okay.
Players are like trapped animals, they can only engage in endless disputes and killings in the Colosseum until Zes dies, or... the winner is decided.
Fan Zhanwei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Qisi, I want to say a few words to you."
He had half-long hair, with bangs covering his eyes, looking at He was not very lively: "Based on your choices since entering the dungeon, I initially judge that Chang Xu's accusation against you is true. But this does not constitute a prerequisite for the game.
"I did not seek justice. The idea of generating hostility towards you is based on the low difficulty of the main task of killing you, which is in line with economic principles; once the equilibrium point changes, I will adopt a different strategy.
"My main request is to pass the customs. Personal emotions, public order and good customs, and the factors that affect me are zero. I hope you can also view this game rationally."
Before Qisi could speak, Lin Ye had a cold face. Question: "Fan Zhanwei, what do you mean by this? I spent my points to take a photo of you, and now you react?"
Fan Zhanwei said: "Even if you don't bid, I will be the fourth one to take the stage. There will also be people who are eager to complete the team making bids, such as Cinderella, who is the last to take the stage.
"On the contrary, I think that you, who is irrational, will not be my most suitable teammate. ”
He walked straight to a stone door, pushed it open and entered with a crisp movement.
Most of the surrounding players did not react and looked at each other in confusion.
"You are sick..." Lin Ye cursed in a low voice. After all, it was difficult to separate from his teammates who had more points, so he had to follow them.
Oddly enough, Fan Zhanwei didn't say a word before. He thought he was sure of his success and felt quite contemptuous in his heart. But now that he was being scolded, he felt that the other party was unfathomable and could be trusted and trusted. A teammate to rely on.
Someone took the lead, and the others were not so obsessed with entering the room from behind, and walked towards their respective rooms in scattered pieces.
The game hasn't started yet, we can't kill each other, and there's no use staying outside.
As for speaking harshly...
Most players are past the age of suffering from chuunibyou, and they also know that too much talk can lead to mistakes.
Chis is obviously a master who will not be kidnapped by morality. He has his own logic for dealing with things. No matter how much you talk to him, nothing will change.
Lin Ye's lesson is right in front of him. If Chang Xu hadn't lent him points, he would have been tricked to death by Qisi and Dong Xiwen...
In this case, let's eat and sleep first.
Qisi waited until the players were almost dispersed, then walked towards the door pointed by the pointer, stretched out his hand and pushed it open.
The door looks like it is made of marble, but it is very light to push. It is like an ordinary hinge door that opens with one push.
Qisi walked into the room and saw a thirty-square-meter stone room. A furry fox mask hung on the wall opposite the door. There were two piles of straw on the ground. It looked like bed.
A bowl was placed next to the straw bed, filled with bloody and thorny pieces of meat. I didn’t know what the raw materials were.
Combining Cinderella’s death with a pool of blood under the round platform will inevitably give rise to bad associations.
Nian Fu walked slowly into the room, and the door automatically closed behind her.
She squatted down beside the thatched bed and joked in a relaxed manner: "Qisi, do we live alone in the same room as a man and a woman?"
Qisi did not answer. He prefers hell jokes to bad jokes.
He moved his eyes away from the flesh and blood in the bowl and landed on Nian Fu: "I'm curious why you chose to bid.
"Just because you are worried that someone will break their promise, It seems that you are not very convincing if you eliminate the one with the lowest points. There is no need for them to put aside the benefits at their fingertips to harm an insignificant existence.
"Or - is there any information that I don't know?"
Nian Fu did not answer immediately, but raised his head and asked with a smile: "I can ask, if I don't bid, you will die. "?"
"No." Chis said, "I came with my teammates." Make a bid.”
“Being divided into different teams will help you get more information, right?”
"I understand." Nian Fu stood up and looked directly into Qisi's eyes.
She smiled and said in a serious tone: "I am teaming up with you because I am not willing to pass the level in NE.
"The final copy will be opened soon, and I need an identity card. And this is the first worldview that I have encountered that explicitly involves gods since I entered the game.
"Goat has repeatedly emphasized that you are the only player who has qualified through wisdom. I think you will be the key to passing TE.
"I will do my best to invest in you, and I hope You can help me win this game. "(End of Chapter)
