Chapter 248: Cruel and Weird Competition

Twenty seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

In the ten mirrors, it seemed as if something was stirring.

In five seconds, a huge divine punishment will come and destroy all living things. Zheng's forehead and back are covered with sweat.

He couldn't bear this divine punishment.

"It starts with one and ends with ten. The largest number is one hundred... There are ten mirrors of different sizes that can make a person look square."

"Old Zheng. Go to No. 81."

Because literally, it starts from one and ends at ten, much like one to ten...

So in the last ten seconds, many strange creatures were eager to squeeze into the coffin in front like a tide.

Especially the coffins numbered one to ten.

Although there were only a dozen seconds left before the divine punishment, not many people were interested in the coffin lid at the back.

Wen Xishu could see that the centipede legs in the van were violently hitting the lid of coffin number six, trying to shatter the person inside.

And that strange, innocent cockroach actually shrunk into coffin number three with just a crack.

In theory, a coffin can only accommodate one person.

But in coffin number three, after the cockroaches squeezed in, there was no other movement.

But soon, blood began to flow out from the cracks in the coffin.

The Weird Contest is very cruel.

Some even looked at Wen Xishu.

"I'm going to tie this human to my coffin!"

A huge eyeball stared at Wen Xishu.

It is four or five times larger than a human, and from a distance it looks like an oversized eyeball.

But if you look closely, you will find that around the eyeball, there are many limbs the size of a baby's arm. Because the eyeball is too large and the limbs are too short, they look like hair outside the ball.

It rushed towards Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu naturally had a way to deal with it, but Zheng Zai pulled Wen Xishu and ran quickly:

"Brother, get out of the way!"

Due to the Chaos Card, Zheng Zai's speed was amplified and the negative attributes were erased, so Zheng Zai is very fast now.

He pulled Wen Xishu and tried to push Wen Xishu into coffin No. 81.

This made Wen Xishu quite moved.

Because his own values ​​were too outrageous, Wen Xishu did not have that sense of crisis.

But if he puts himself in Lao Zheng's shoes, he can probably feel that perhaps in Lao Zheng's eyes, this is a matter of life and death.

On the verge of life and death, Lao Zheng chose to give the safety number he deduced to himself.

Wen Xishu's heart was slightly touched:
"It's okay, Lao Zheng. I don't need it."

Before the giant eyeball approached Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu hid in coffin number 80.

There are only five seconds left before divine punishment.

The mirror has begun to crack.

The huge eyeball monster saw that Wen Xishu had already closed the coffin and there was not much time left, so it had to give up and immediately chose a lucky number - seventy-seven.

Five, four, three, two.

One.

The sound of a mirror breaking was heard, and countless strange laughs appeared.

The laughter was creepy, like a mixture of a baby's laughter in the middle of the night and a woman's strange, shrill voice.

The lid of coffin number two suddenly broke open.

A strange creature that was a mixture of countless women and babies showed hundreds of faces and grinned at the person in coffin No. 2.

Afterwards, its strange body seemed to liquidize and turned into a tide that swallowed up the puppet-like Tojiang rare species in coffin No. 2.

This is an urban legend on the eve of the end of the world. It is said that this creature was transformed from a girl who was often abandoned.

Anyone who picks her up later will slowly grow to hate her, but if they try to abandon her, they will die.

Compared to other monsters, her killing speed is too slow. It will take a long time for her to break through from rare to elite.

So she was invited to participate in the weird competition.

But now, she will become part of the monster. She was actually very close to the correct answer, but she still made the wrong choice.

The leader-level monster, Yu Mu, was now devouring her and fusing her.

This situation does not only happen to this poor puppet.

The lid of coffin number three was also opened, and the pure cockroach who was hailed as the favorite to win the championship in this division...

At this moment, he was also ruthlessly devoured by Yu's mother.

The cockroach, which had more than 900 points, was extremely regretful at this moment because it had so many points that were not being used.

But now, it is no longer possible to draw cards.

Soon, the cockroach was submerged in the liquid Yumu and eventually died.

The favorite to win the championship was ruthlessly eliminated.

Such scenes are happening everywhere.

The same goes for the eyeball monster that tried to tie Wen Xishu to the coffin lid.

even--

The same is true for Wen Xishu himself.

However, when Yu's mother opened the coffin where Wen Xishu was, she glanced at Wen Xishu coldly and felt the effect of Wen Xishu's magic card.

She went towards coffin number one.

Coffin Number One is actually one of the correct answers. Logically, Coffin Number One cannot be opened.

It was a shadow that entered coffin number one.

Yes, its body is just a shadow, and compared to other creatures, it seems to be two-dimensional.

This is also the reason why it can enter coffin No. 1 quickly and without leaving a trace.

While others were still fighting over Coffin No. 1, Shadow had already entered the coffin with the help of his physical characteristics.

The Punishment of Ten Mirrors came, and countless coffins were opened, but Shadow could feel that his coffin was very solid.

Yes, the coffin he was in was one of the correct answers, one of the ten coffins that would not be opened.

But now, his fate has been reversed, and he and Wen Xishu have exchanged fates.

The coffin was suddenly opened, and the coffin number 80 with the wrong answer was closed again.

The ruthless devouring began.

Inside the coffin, Wen Xishu couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of this elimination round.

He had solved the puzzle, but because he was targeted by the eyeball monster at the beginning, his rhythm was disrupted. When Lao Zheng took him to coffin No. 81 and tried to give him a chance to live...

He chose to let Lao Zheng survive and then use cards to get through this level.

“Even if you solve the puzzle… you may be eliminated due to other reasons.”

"We still can't be careless in this knockout round."

Wen Xishu survived by consuming a god-level card.

As the sounds of the women and babies' laughter gradually faded away, the hearts of the ten people who survived were beating violently.

Zheng Zai's heart was beating fast.

"Brother Wen is amazing... Not only did you get rid of the negative effects on me, but you actually found the answer."

"Starting from one and ending at ten, how can you think that eighty-one is the correct answer?"

"Thank goodness you heard it, brother!"

Zheng Zai felt a surge of happiness for having survived the catastrophe. This was truly a narrow escape from death.

Feeling that there was no longer any strange aura outside, Wen Xishu calmly pushed open the coffin lid.

"Old Zheng, you can come out now."

When Zheng Zai heard Wen Xishu's voice, he excitedly pushed open the coffin lid:

"Brother, you are amazing! What is this puzzle like?"

Other monsters appeared one after another.

Wen Xishu said:
“The correct answers are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100.”

“I won’t go into detail about the characteristics of these numbers.”

"In short, it fits the idea of ​​starting from one and ending with ten, and it also fits the suggestion of the ten mirrors of different sizes that can all make a person a square. You can figure it out yourself."

Zheng Zai was thoughtful and seemed to have a little idea.

But he soon noticed:
"Brother... isn't that the wrong answer?"

I am number 81, which is the correct answer. But Wen Xishu is obviously the wrong answer.

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"I am more of a supermodel. I am an unkillable being."

Zheng Zai once again lamented how powerful his brother was, and how valuable the 530,000 yuan was...

You can solve the puzzle head-on, or you can ignore the penalties and go against the rules.

He suddenly felt that he was really stupid for trying to save Brother Wen.

Wen Xishu smiled, as if he knew what Lao Zheng was thinking:
"Not bad, Lao Zheng, we are lucky. The numbers are relatively low, so there are not so many people competing for it."

Zheng nodded vigorously. He realized that this strange competition was only responsible for setting questions. As for how to solve the questions, it was not necessary to follow the standard answers.

When you feel that the standard answer has been taken by someone else, you can snatch the fruits of other people's labor before the punishment begins.

And even if you get the standard answer, you may still be eliminated due to some special reasons.

"I don't know what the second round will be like, but this first round is really scary."

Ninety percent elimination rate.

The competition venue went from being densely packed at the beginning to becoming scattered and sparse.

The seeded players and popular players at the beginning all died in this round, and the monsters who survived really relied on luck.

Rare species and normal species are not good at thinking. Compared with Jack and Jennifer, they seem slow. The decryption this time is not difficult...

Wen Xishu figured it out quickly, but for these monsters, they could only guess.

The scene begins to change again.

At this moment, the host's voice appeared in the ears of the survivors:

"Congratulations everyone, you made it through the first elimination round!"

"You damn lucky ones! Your chance of perfect evolution is one step closer!"

"Do you suddenly feel that the competition venue is a little deserted? Hahahaha, don't worry, we have plenty of competition venues!"

"Soon, you'll feel the excitement!"

"Next, hundreds of competition areas will merge! A super elimination match involving nearly 5,000 people has begun!"

The scene changes rapidly and expands rapidly.

Compared with the previous scene of hundreds of coffins, this scene is more grand.

At the same time, Wen Xishu got 210 points.

The points for successfully surviving are 200, and the points for killing one person are 10.

Not only that, Wen Xishu also discovered that the second round of competition had one more card slot than the first round.

In other words, now everyone can carry five cards.

This prompt made Wen Xishu stunned:
"The next scene is a super survival scene with 5,000 people?"

"Damn it, five thousand people... and by now, a lot of people should have known that you can get 10 points for killing others."

"My... No, Lao Zheng is in a very bad situation."

Wen Xishu did not kill anyone directly, but because of the card effect, someone suffered his fate.

The death penalty was finally attributed to Wen Xishu.

This also made Wen Xishu realize that the judgment for killing was very loose.

So in the super survival scene with 5,000 people...

Among the five thousand people, there must be quite a few who know that they can get extra points by killing people.

Five thousand people, with a total of fifty thousand points.

"Not bad. If I kill them all, it can barely make up for my loss of card drawing."

Wen Xishu's sense of security decreased, but fortunately, it was time for the next round of card drawing.

This time, Zheng went all in three times for the 128-point purple card pool.

Zheng Zai just looks silly, but he is not stupid. He is also good at learning, so he also analyzed that in the next scene, there will be too many people, which will lead to chaos.

Chaos requires a means of survival.

Zheng Zai had good luck with the three cards from the purple card pool. It was as if he was possessed by A Miao. He actually drew two Order Cards and one Magic Card.

The Mana Card is second only to the Weird God Card. Many people may not even have the Chaos God Card even in the finals. The Mana Card is basically the top configuration for most people.

【Card: Malicious Random】

【Card level: Magic card.】

[Effect: When someone has the desire to attack you, the desire to attack will randomly spread to the group of people around you.]

Simply put, with this card, if someone tries to kill Lao Zheng, then the malice this person has towards Lao Zheng will be randomly shared by the people around Lao Zheng...

This person may attack a group of people.

Zheng thought about it and felt that this card was very good. If he hid in a crowded place, the risks he faced would be shared.

The other two Order Cards are pure attribute cards.

Double the health and speed.

Combined with Lao Zheng’s previous card pool, Lao Zheng’s speed has been greatly improved.

He felt a little more secure.

After Wen Xishu asked for a while, he nodded:

"Not bad. I was able to resolve the malicious intent and escape quickly. Relatively speaking, it's safe. Old Zheng, you're lucky this time."

Survivors from other zones gradually appeared around, and the sense of oppression was slowly increasing.

In the scene, some strange statues began to appear.

Zheng Zai observed all this and asked:
"How are you, bro?"

Wen Xishu said:
"I only kept the cards that were immune to teammates' negative attributes, and replaced all the other cards."

Zheng asked in a low voice:

"What card is it?"

"Five mysterious cards in total." Wen Xishu said lightly.

Zheng Zai: ...

Forget it, I shouldn't ask. Brother Wen and I are not playing the same game at all.

Zheng Zai was speechless, and felt as if he was being crushed by a mighty army.

Of course he was not jealous, but the huge gap between people still shocked him.

The magic energy card is already very awesome, weird god card, five god sets?
This... Brother Wen must have gone crazy with killing, right?
……

……

After the second round of eliminations, there really won’t be many monsters left, and all regions will probably merge.

At this moment, what appeared in the eyes of Wen Xishu and others was a super huge "forest of statues".

Still the same, one hundred statues, each one different, some are beasts, some look like totems.

There are also some butterflies of strange colors in the sky, blue butterflies, purple butterflies, red butterflies, and white butterflies.

There are nearly a hundred of these butterflies.

At the same time, the host's voice sounded:
"One hundred statues, numbered from one to one hundred. Hey, hey, everyone knows that one plus one hundred is five thousand and fifty."

"And there are about 5,000 people present. Of course, it is possible that due to the special mechanism, there are not enough people to kill."

"Let me first talk about the death mechanism. Suppose~ you touch the statue numbered 50. If the statue lights up and it is not the correct answer——"

"Then fifty people will die in this round of eliminations. Of course, the person who lights up the statue will die."

"As for the other forty-nine, whether you will be one of them depends on your ability."

"You all have some cards, don't you?"

"Of course, it is also possible that you touched the statue numbered 50, but the result... more than 50 people died, or less than 50."

"But the cause and effect here depends on you all."

"Many people will die in this stage. The clear approach is to stand back and watch, letting a group of people die first."

"Anyway, there will be ten correct answers. Once you find them all, you will pass the level~"

"Observe carefully, the strong can dominate the weak to light up the statue, and make the weak become the steps for you to look out, but you will not be taller than these steps, nor shorter than these steps."

"Good luck to everyone. By the way, each statue represents a disaster. I hope I can see enough disasters~"

"Well, the second round of the Weird Contest begins."

There was silence.

In the grand scene, there are nearly five thousand strange monsters.

Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai felt the oppression brought by these strange creatures...

Neither spoke.

Even the monsters were silent.

They are not good at thinking and don't know how to solve the puzzle this time.

Among the hundred statues, there are ten correct numbers...

It seemed very similar to the previous round, but Wen Xishu knew very well that this time the difficulty might be much higher than last time.

He looked at the butterflies, thoughtfully.

It was also at this time that the most powerful monster in the field - a strange tree, suddenly spoke.

This is a tree perched on a huge building, with countless roots entwined around the building, and a faint light can be seen from the windows inside the building.

This is clearly an elite species.

It was invited to participate in the weird competition with the aim of becoming the red house.

Although everyone's abilities and props have been taken away...but its huge size determines its destructive power.

The combination of a building and towering trees creates a huge sense of visual oppression just by looking at it.

It's hard to imagine, was the first round that this tree went through also the Ten Mirrors punishment? If so... how big a coffin would that require?
"Next, I will call out names. The people I call out will go and light up the first statue."

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

Faced with the questioning of the elite species and this super-giant creature... no one dared to object, no matter if they were driving a Mazda or a Rolls-Royce, anyone who dared to object would be pierced by the huge vines.

Zheng Zaixin has finished speaking... Does this involve me and Brother Wen?
They are human beings, the weakest beings.

Best suited for cannon fodder.

But this time, Zheng Zai discovered something wrong.

The people around them seemed not to notice them.

The effect of the God Card has been activated.

This is also a card that gives Wen Xishu a sense of security. Its effect is simple and crude - it can make one disappear in a small area.

Wen Xishu said:
"Don't make any big movements. It can't see you. Lao Zheng, be extremely alert and decipher it carefully... but don't be too nervous."

"I am responsible for everything. I can't die."

Having said that, Wen Xishu actually had no idea. Although the monsters couldn't see the two of them... it was still unknown whether the death triggered by the statue could detect him and Lao Zheng.

Moreover, Wen Xishu had no idea what to do when faced with this round of puzzles.

"The answer to the riddle should be in the host's words, but it was just mentioned in one sentence."

"Also, the host said that if you touch the statue numbered fifty, more than fifty people might die... Does this mean that the number represented by the statue might change?"

"Also, what do those butterflies in the sky mean?"

Wen Xishu was confident that he could pass the level relying on numerical scores, but just like the first level, he was also eager to try - could he pass it relying on skills?
