The inspirational beetle, somehow stimulated, actually vibrated and destroyed its wings, and flew up to the crown of the fruit-bearing tree.
After looking around for a while, it finally turned its seemingly inflexible body in a confused manner and faced the square of contestants in the audience.
Like a victorious general, it worked extremely hard to raise its head and the upper body connected to the head, raising its special and mighty horn high.
Thunderous applause suddenly erupted from the audience.
Immediately afterwards, the golden turtle suddenly seemed to have been reborn, its whole body turned into a real golden color, even its broken front legs grew back, and a pair of golden wings vibrated powerfully, making "ZZZZ" and "ZZZZZZ" sounds. "Zi" loud sound.
As if responding to the applause from the audience.
Then the tree under it suddenly lit up.
To be precise, all the red and blue fruits on the tree lit up.
As soon as the tree on the left lit up, Lu Ran looked at the tree on the right. That tree, which was originally equally lush, had died unconsciously.
At the same time, the originally dark competition area lit up one after another, and the things in the hands or bodies of many people also lit up.
It is the number plate that represents his identity as a contestant.
Lu Ran also saw his "444" number plate glowing blue, but when he looked at Eggplant Girl, the number plate in her hand was still dark.
The pattern is not difficult to find. After looking around, Lu Ran discovered the secret.
The red and blue fruits on the trees on both sides of the Destiny River represent the contestants. Red represents women and blue represents men. The left and right sides represent different numbers. The left is even numbers and the right is odd numbers.
Because it was the beetle on the left that finally reached the top of the tree, and the fruit on the left lit up, all the even-numbered number plates in the seats in the competition area lit up.
Of course, it is not certain that the one who wins when the lights come on will have to wait for Empress Huntian to reveal everything.
Empress Huntian, who was wearing a black veil, seemed to be smiling.
This time, she only raised her right hand, and a dazzling golden light illuminated the whole place. After a moment of recovery, the long table, water basin, boat, river, trees and the two two-pronged rhinoceros beetles in front of her were gone. , turned into a gold box seven or eight inches long and one inch wide.
Yell, it is indeed a box.
Empress Huntian held the golden box in her other hand, officially revealed the answer to the mystery, and announced: "In the first round, the people with even numbers whose numbers are lit up will all advance; otherwise, they will all be eliminated and will not be able to participate in the next round. Those who are eliminated can choose to leave on their own, or they can choose to continue watching the ceremony, but they are not allowed to make any noise, because the Master does not like people making noise in the audience."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the contestants area and the audience area were noisy.
Most people are complaining, saying what kind of assessment is this, how can it be so casual.
Lu Ran briefly comforted the eggplant girl beside him who was crying in tears, and hurriedly looked towards the area where Xu Fu was.
Xu Fu was number 19 and she was also eliminated.
Xu Fu was unexpectedly quiet at this time. From her back, she could not see any emotional ups and downs. She was still sitting upright, with not a single hair out of place.
But Lu Ran felt that this kind of silence was the scariest thing. It would be better for her to stand up now, draw out her swords, and jump onto the stage.
As he was thinking this, he saw several unconvinced contestants actually jumping onto the stage, baring their teeth and claws, asking for an explanation from Empress Huntian.
Empress Huntian didn't even move her eyes. She still looked up at the dome of the room, and her voice was still slow and deep: "Didn't I make it clear enough? My Lord, I don't like people making noise in the audience."
There were more and more aggrieved people, and no one listened to her words.
The leading people were probably blinded by anger and forgot the identity of Queen Huntian.
The current Infinite Heavenly Lord, the leader of the ten most powerful Heavenly Lords in the Huanjiao.
So in the next breath, Empress Huantian blinked her eyes, and these people were all dead.
There was some black glue that was both mud and slime, and silently climbed onto the heads of these people, instantly wrapped their heads tightly, and finally swallowed them whole.
The selected person struggled a few times before several headless corpses appeared on the stage.
"I haven't even finished what I said. I still have the second half of the sentence. That is, our Lord Religion doesn't like people who are unlucky, like you, more than making noise."
Empress Huntian opened her eyes and finally glanced at the crowd on and off the stage.
The crowd on the stage was like a pack of rats that had been glanced at by a cat, scattering and running away.
The crowd in the audience suddenly became much quieter, and at the same time, some people began to follow her suggestion and leave the venue.
It seemed that the reason why Xu Fu was motionless was found.
Glancing at the eggplant girl beside him who had stopped sobbing, Lu Ran almost laughed out loud: "Idiots will always be punished by evil people. Even these immortals kill people at every turn. It shouldn't be done."
Eggplant girl let out a long sigh, carefully put away the "445" number plate that might never shine, picked up a shoulder bag, and said sadly: "You're right, since it's a bet It's luck. If you're willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat. Now that I'm gone, everything that happens next has nothing to do with me. I just don't know if I can survive until the next festival."
Even from a distance, Lu Ran could hear the sourness in her words, but since she was leaving, she shouldn't go against him. Lu Ran smiled and said, "It will definitely work. Looking at you like this, you will live for three years." Five hundred years old, no problem.”
"Hey, I didn't expect that you are quite sweet. Then you have to advance for me all the way to the Jueying Palace. Also, don't forget our fate. I live here... When you are free in a few days, you can come and play with me." This woman was quite open-minded. She smiled brightly as soon as she finished crying. Before leaving, she even teased Lu Ran and gave her a very daydreaming wink. .
Of course Lu Ran said, "Okay, I will definitely go. I like playing with girls, but in my heart, I want to go and play with you, unless I don't want to die anymore."
After Eggplant Girl left, the four sides of the stage were also cleaned up, and Empress Huantian appeared again. She was holding a fruit bowl in her hand. The fruit bowl was filled with glowing fruits, which were all the current candidates.
Those with sharp eyes can see that there are indeed some faint numbers in these fruits.
"Everyone, after the first round of lucky selection, we successfully eliminated half of the 1,080 candidates. In other words, there are still 540 people who still have their number plates on, but this is not the case. There are still too many, so we are now conducting the second round of selection, please keep your eyes open, it all depends on luck, it is absolutely fair, and remember not to make noise in the audience."
After Empress Huantian preached, she suddenly and without warning casually tossed the fruit bowl in her hand upwards and threw it out.
The huge fruit bowl flipped several times in the air before finally standing firmly on the stage.
During the whole process, countless fruits were scattered all over the stage, and in the end, less than half of the number plates survived in the basin.
Lu Ran saw it and already understood that this was the second round of selection, and secretly screamed "It's over" in his heart.
Sure enough, Empress Huntian narrowed her eyes and immediately announced: "In this round, the person whose numbered fruit is still in the basin will pass. Otherwise, he will be eliminated."
Immediately, the light of the fruits scattered everywhere dimmed together with the number plates with the same number in the hands of the contestants.
In this round of operations, those who advanced or failed to advance were a little confused, and the venue was silent.
