The battle for the title takes place once a hundred years, and there are many changes in the mechanism. Only five people can pass the level at a time, so not many people know the details.
However, the process of the championship battle can be watched by outsiders in the form of "live broadcast".
Lu Zheng was born in a large family of the 1024 community. Although he didn't know the "hidden path" Zuo Chang mentioned, he still understood the ordinary mechanism.
He removed three torches from the wall and said: "You two, the fog in the corridor is not an ordinary fog. Once we walk into it, we will immediately be plunged into a 'dream state'. We don't know what is there. It is said that it is very... Dangerous."
Melville, the descendant of the witch, took the torch and said: "But as long as there is a torch and we are always under the light of the fire, we will be safe."
Zuo Chang looked at them and felt quite pleased.
It’s nice that teammates aren’t idiots who don’t understand anything.
The three of them held torches and walked out of the room into the corridor.
Lu Zheng and Zuo Chang were shoulder to shoulder. Lu Zheng turned around and asked, "How are you doing recently, Mayumi?"
"It's pretty good. I can eat and sleep, and I've already reached the seventh realm."
Lu Zheng nodded, but there was no surprise: "The real bow is extremely talented, even at 1024, it is outstanding. The Seventh Realm is not difficult for her."
Zuo Chang turned to look at him and asked: "Only generals can participate in the battle for the title. Your family's status in 1024 seems to be more respected than I thought."
This time, Lu Zheng shook his hand.
He smiled and said: "It's my luck. It wasn't my turn originally, but I happened to be the only qualified person in the Seventh Realm. Our 1024 General Qibao also took great care of me, so he urgently called me back and gave me a temporary identity."
The general of 1024 seems to be the poor Sakura, right?
This Lu Zheng has really good luck with women.
The two of them were talking and moving forward.
As he walked, Melville felt something strange——
The corridor below is not just one road, but has many forks.
Every time he reached a fork in the road, the man named Zuo Chang couldn't help but point out the way with hand gestures, or immediately choose a direction and follow him the whole way.
Does he know the way?
"Two, two, I'm sorry to interrupt your pleasant conversation."
After Zuo Chang once again chose to turn left without hesitation, Melville finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She stepped forward and looked at Zuo Chang: "Common people, do you know where we are heading now?"
Zuo Chang nodded: "I know."
"You know? Are you sure you're not wandering around?"
"The path I chose is the most cost-effective path. If you have a better plan, you can put it forward."
"……ha!"
Zuo Chang was so confident that he was bursting with confidence.
He was so confident and confident that Melville seemed unreasonable.
Her mind was empty, and her understanding of the battle for the title was superficial. Of course, she didn't know which way was the "most cost-effective" way, nor did she know how to reach the second floor.
After pondering for a moment, she could only say: "You'd better be really sure."
The three of them continued to move forward. The fog around them slowly thinned, but there was a dead end in front of them.
Although it is a dead end, it is not empty.
A gray-white shrine is placed in the window pane on the end wall, with two pale candles burning green fire, arranged on the left and right of the shrine.
"This is...'Lord Gouzhi'?"
Lu Zheng looked at the severed finger enshrined in the shrine and told its true identity.
Melville had obviously heard of Lord Gouzhi, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Zuo Chang's mood was stable. He nodded and said: "This is Lord Gouzhi. The battle for the title is a strong confrontation mode. There are two ways to reach the second floor. One is to find the hidden entrance, and the other requires killing - —When the 'number of players' in the first level drops to a certain level, the survivors will automatically enter the second level."
"The Gouzhi shrine is designed for killing."
Now, Zuo Chang and others can make wishes at the shrine and obtain the new identity of "Gou Zhi Apostle".
The Gou Finger Apostle can freely shuttle through the fog, and can sense the positions of all other players within a certain range around him. With the protection of these two privileges, hunting will naturally be easy.
Melville was clearly agitated.
She looked at Zuo Chang and asked: "Zuo—cough cough. Common people, I heard that if our behavior is approved by Lord Gouzhi, we can get a 'title', right?"
Zuo Chang shook his head: "Strictly speaking, no."
"no?"
"As long as you become an apostle of Gouzhi, you will definitely get a title, but there are advantages and disadvantages. If you can get the approval of Master Gouzhi, the title will be better."
Ah this.
Unheard details.
Melville looked at Zuo Chang and said, "You seem... very good at it?"
Zuo Chang pretended to be a master without saying anything.
He cut his finger and smeared the blood on the shrine. The next moment, the gray-white shrine glowed slightly and then disappeared.
A bright red mark appeared on Zuo Chang's forehead for no apparent reason——
At this moment, he is already the messenger.
Melville followed suit and smeared his own blood on it.
The slight difference from Zuo Chang is that her mark does not appear on her forehead, but on her collarbone.
The snow-white skin and the bright red mark complement each other perfectly.
It's Lu Zheng's turn...
Lu Zheng didn't take action.
He frowned and asked: "Zuo Chang, is the mission of Gouzhi apostle to eliminate other participants?"
Zuo Chang looked at him: "It's not elimination, it's killing. Those who die in the battle for the title will lose their lives."
How does this work!
Lu Zheng slowly shook his head and said: "This is too cruel! We are all here for the title, and we are competitors. We should distinguish ourselves in terms of brains, skills and courage, and we should not achieve success by killing! The title 'Brave' - How can there be a brave man who kills people like crazy?"
Zuo Chang thought there was no problem: "Since you are here for the title, you should have the awareness that you will be successful if you don't succeed. Killing is part of the battle for the title. If you are not happy, don't play."
Lu Zheng frowned, still feeling something was wrong.
As an adventurer, he would not be able to fight back. He just feels...
When the other party has no intention of harm and no obvious evil deeds, rashly taking the life of the other party is not the behavior of a benevolent and righteous person.
Zuo Chang said: "The advantage of the Gouzhi apostle is that it is not affected by the fog and can sense the position of others; its disadvantage is that life is highly bound to the Gouzhi shrine. If the shrine in front of us is smashed, as an apostle We will also die. Among the three of us, one or two should have been left behind to protect the shrine..."
He looked at Lu Zheng.
"Lu Zheng, if you are unwilling to take action, then stay and defend the shrine. Apply your blood on the shrine. Melville and I will go hunting, and you will have a share of the final reward."
Lu Zheng still shook his head: "I have no contribution and am not qualified to receive rewards. You go ahead and I will help you guard the shrine."
Does this Lu Zheng really don’t understand or is he just pretending to be stupid?
have no choice.
Zuo Chang could only try to speak more clearly. He spread his hands and said, "You can only share weal and woe with us if you become an apostle of Gouzhi. Do you understand? I asked you to smear your blood because I don't want to share your reward in vain. I Mainly because I’m afraid that if you wait for me to leave and destroy the shrine, won’t I just be gone?”
"..."
"..."
Lu Zheng and Melville both looked at Zuo Chang like a cockroach.
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Okay!"
He cut his finger and smeared the blood on the shrine.
