Several male contestants took off their shirts because it was too hot, and they did not bring drinking water. Monks also need to drink water, but their endurance is much stronger than ordinary people. It had been five hours since they entered the competition. Under the influence of the high temperature, several contestants with lower cultivation levels already felt thirsty.
Some people began to regret that they would not have come down with the large group if they had known better. Two people finally chose to stay on the platform above, and maybe they should make the same choice.
He planned to take a rest before continuing, but Xu Qian suddenly felt a crisis. He suddenly turned his head and looked outside the hole. A small part of a tentacle appeared at the entrance of the hole.
"Run! Run down through the connected holes!" He urgently sent out a message. Xiang Yan and other strong men had already reacted before this, but the monks with mediocre cultivation were still standing there stupidly. .
The tentacles suddenly launched an attack and stabbed straight into the hole.
Xu Qian stood in front of everyone, stretched out his hands, and a protective aura immediately appeared, blocking the tentacle attack.
When the others saw this, they immediately fled. Only Xi Jiuhai, Kong De, Lin Qiaoni and Lan Kenan stayed in place.
"You go too! It can't hurt me."
The four of them didn't think Xu Qian would stay here, so they left immediately.
At this time, a scream came from outside the hole. It turned out to be the contestants who regretted following Xu Qian down and ran up instead of down.
The tentacle monster was located above them, secretly extending a tentacle for a sneak attack, but was restrained by Xu Qian. If you run down, it will be safe at least for the time being, but if you run up, you will be closer to the tentacle monster, and Xu Qian cannot save him even if he wants to.
The tentacles exerted force again, and Xu Qian's body-protecting aura was broken. Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough. After the tentacles penetrated the body-protecting aura, their power was greatly reduced, and the impact on his body only broke a little bit of skin.
Xu Qian did not retreat but moved forward. He took one step forward and hovered in the volcano tube.
The tentacle monster stared at Xu Qian with six eyes. He recognized that the man in front of him had just attacked him.
Since the sea of qi was destroyed and the newborn universe took its place, Xu Qian has been unable to accurately judge his own cultivation, and his fighting method has gradually transformed from being based on the realm of cultivation and using combat skills as a means to relying on various laws. The ability mastered after enlightenment makes it impossible to judge the strength of the enemy or ourselves. The sea soul beast in front of him was equivalent to the top Taiqing. He was not sure of killing it, but in order to buy time for others to escape, he could only delay it as long as possible.
But what he didn't expect was that the tentacle monster's next move was not to attack, but to stretch its tentacles downward, as if ordering him to go down.
Xu Qian was a little stunned when he saw the extremely human expression of the tentacle monster. The tentacle monster might think that the human in front of him was a bit stupid, so he could only use five tentacles to point downwards. The meaning was obvious.
At this time, Xu Qian thought of a series of questions. When did the tentacle monster run above them? The attack just now felt like it was just a last resort. It didn't seem to want the lives of these people, but one of the people running up actually died. How to explain it?
Finding Xu Qian standing still, the tentacle monster seemed to have exhausted all its patience. It raised a thick tentacle and struck it down hard from top to bottom.
The two parties were fighting, but Xu Qian deserted. It was too late to dodge. He raised his hands above his head to block. The tentacle monster's attack was so powerful that Xu Qian could not maintain his body shape and could only fall downwards at a high speed.
The contestants were horrified when they saw Xu Qian being knocked down. They didn't know why, and instinctively thought that Xu Tianwang had been defeated, and the tentacle monster was going to kill them all next.
On the contrary, Xi Jiuhai, Lin Qiaoni and other people who are familiar with Xu Qian are not very anxious. They have seen many big storms and waves with Xu Qian. They may not necessarily have much confidence in Xu Qian's combat power, but they have confidence in his ability to save his life. It is sufficient.
Everyone tried their best to escape in the chaos, especially after they found that one of the people who fled upward was dead and Xu Qian was defeated by the tentacle monster. Finding a glimmer of life from the intricate connecting passages was their only chance at the moment. Things that can be done.
Shao Ruhai led three thousand-level Taiqings to appear in the video screen. The expectant audience across the country felt astonished the moment they saw the four of them.
All four of them wore devil masks with red as the main color. They were so hideous and terrifying that they were really scary. Moreover, all four of them were wearing ancient robes, just hovering in the air, giving people a powerful and mysterious visual impact.
This picture later became widely circulated and became a classic picture circulated on the Internet. Some merchants even made it into game peripherals, and countless young people used it as a computer screen saver or desktop.
Wearing the mask is not for visual effects, nor is it to increase murderous intent. It is purely an arrangement made by the state from the perspective of keeping the appearance of the four people confidential. The choice of this set of masks is completely Shao Ruhai's personal choice.
Watching the four strong men on the screen plunge into the water, the audience across the country felt as if they were seeing warriors going off to battle, and an inexplicable sense of national pride arose spontaneously. But the three guests in the live broadcast room were all worried.
As guests, they have a deeper understanding of the game itself than ordinary people. For example, the rules, content, location, etc. of this game are all determined by the system. In other words, they are determined by the Star Alliance. The dispatch of ambulancemen to ensure the safety of the contestants is made by the Special Branch outside the rules of the game. The arrangement is equivalent to a side ball played by the Chinese official. As long as it does not affect the progress of the game and does not cause the contestants to violate the rules, the system will not care.
The current situation is obviously under the control of the game system. Will the intervention of four strong players cause the system to determine that all contestants are disqualified? The Special Branch is not without its concerns in this regard, but China really cannot bear the loss of elite monks. Like the time when Xu Qian and Xi Jiuhai fought against the Sea Soul Beast on the island, a large number of contestants died in the game. Tragedies must not be tolerated. Repeat.
The video was edited and spliced. The part where the four strong men were majestic above the sea was shot by the staff, and the next part came from the camera Bu Jiuling wore.
When the four of them came to the bottom of the sea, they did not flee in embarrassment like Xia Qiuxue and the other two. Apparently, the four of them were not attacked in any way. The video was shot using infrared light waves, and the visibility of the image was very low, less than a hundred meters away, so the submarine volcano did not appear in the video.
The four of them stood there quietly. After about a few minutes, the scene cut to another scene.
The person who came into the audience's sight this time was a staff member. He briefly introduced himself and said: "Because you can't speak at the bottom of the sea and the visibility is also very low, which is not conducive to showing the scene, so I will explain it to the audience. Four rescuers Having reached deep into the vicinity of the submarine volcano, they simultaneously discovered three thousand-order Taiqing-level sea soul beasts. However, the three sea soul beasts did not attack them, but stayed there quietly, as if waiting for something. The four rescuers have detected the auras of at least twenty-six contestants through spiritual detection, indicating that at least twenty-six contestants are currently not in danger. However, given that the current attitude towards the three-headed sea soul beast is not yet Clear, so they haven’t taken action yet.”
The video ends here. The news that twenty-six people were not in danger is obviously exciting, but a question arises in people's minds - why didn't these four strong men just break into the submarine volcano and save the people? Coming out? Could it be that four such powerful people were worried that they would not be able to defeat the three-headed sea soul beast?
Seeing this, the three guests breathed a sigh of relief, because the four strong men were very measured and did not attack the sea soul beast as soon as they came up.
Le Jingtian responded to the questions raised by the audience.
"The competition has rules. These dangers and hardships are the content of the competition itself. Our rescuers only protect the lives of the contestants when abnormal situations occur during the competition. They do not intervene in the competition to eliminate the crisis and reduce the difficulty for the contestants. . On the contrary, if they do not grasp the scale well and have an impact on the result of the competition, then the system may cancel the results of a certain contestant or even all contestants. Once they attack the sea soul beast or directly enter the crater, It is very likely that the system will judge it as excessive intervention, and our competition can be declared over. Of course, if the contestants do encounter a crisis that exceeds the competition, I think they will take action at all costs, after all, the contestants are protected Overall safety is our bottom line."
