Chapter 289: Statues Game
Su Ren randomly chose a direction to fly, but not long after he flew, the ethereal voice sounded .
"The first round of tests is over. Congratulations to those who are still alive. You will enter the second round of tests!"
As the sound rang out, the sky-hunting eagle in the sky and the deep whale at the bottom of the lake disappeared instantly.
Hearing this voice, Su Ren was full of questions.
He seriously suspected that this guy was doing this on purpose to prevent him from making money.
However, when the others heard this and looked at the Abyss Whale and Sky Hunting Eagle that had disappeared, they couldn't help but sit on the ground with lingering fear.
This is not a test at all. If you are not careful, you will lose your life here. This is simply playing with your life.
If they could, they would rather quit immediately.
It had only been a short time since they came in, but at least 30% or even more of the people around them had died.
"Please let me out. I won't take part in the test anymore. I don't want anything. I beg you!"
Some people collapsed and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior would definitely be ridiculed, but now, the people around him only had a sad look in their eyes.
If begging for mercy really works, they would choose to kneel down and beg for mercy without hesitation.
Only by experiencing the escape from the whale's mouth just now can you understand the preciousness of life.
They were really scared.
However, the voice did not respond, and it was obvious that it was not going to let anyone go.
The man was desperate and no longer begged for mercy. Instead, he stood up and pointed at the sky and cursed:
"You bastard, don't you want to test me? Come on!"
"If you have the guts, just kill me. I'm not afraid of you!!"
But no matter how he insulted, the voice remained unmoved.
Just when he was tired of scolding, the voice sounded again.
"There are still 30 minutes until the second test begins. Please make final preparations."
Hearing this voice, the survivors began to talk about it.
"I don't know what the second round of test will be?"
"No matter what the test is, judging by the first round, it is definitely not an easy test. I estimate that many people will die this time."
"Alas, I don't know if we can get out alive. We didn't see the Yamata no Orochi, and now we may even lose our lives."
In a corner of the space.
Some people have already left their last words.
"Third brother, no matter who is alive, you must take good care of our parents."
"Brother, I...I'm scared."
There are many cases like this in this space, and most of the people coming in are friends or relatives who are in the team.
I watched my friends and relatives die in front of me, but I was powerless to do anything.
That feeling is worse than killing them.
But they didn't even know whether they could survive the next round of tests, so after a brief period of sadness, they could only make their last wishes in advance.
Because no one knows who will die next.
An atmosphere of fear and despair spread throughout the space, and even the people from the two major communes felt powerless at this moment.
Shuiyue Wu looked at the people from his Shuiyue Society. He had originally brought in thousands of elites, but now there were only a few hundred left.
Even if his strength was close to level 9, he would not be able to protect others.
"President, if this continues, our Shuiyue Society will suffer a great loss of strength!"
The four generals beside Shuiyue Wu said anxiously.
If any more of them die, they will be left alone.
"Please think of a solution."
"Where can I find a solution?"
Shuiyue Wu was also a little angry. The Yuan Whale couldn't attack him at all, and even he could only dodge.
After finally passing the first test, no one knows what kind of monster will appear next.
"Don't think about other things now. If our men die, we can always recruit new ones. If we die, then Shuiyue Society will be truly finished!"
"No matter what, let's pass the test first."
…
Half an hour passed quickly.
As everyone waited anxiously, the second round of tests finally arrived.
"The second round of tests begins. Next, we will play a fun game that you are all familiar with - Statue."
"The rules of the game are very simple. You should know them. I will divide all of you into four areas, and each area will be guarded by a wood spirit."
"You are 500 meters away from the wood spirit. When the wood spirit looks at you, you must remain still. You can move only when the wood spirit turns its head away. However, your speed cannot exceed 5 meters per second. Exceeding this speed will be considered a failure!"
"The air is prohibited in this game. The first person to reach the wood spirit's location will be the winner."
"The first 2,500 people in each area will advance to the next round of tests. Remember, you can do anything except the rules I said!"
After hearing the rules, everyone was silent.
For professionals like them, making wooden figures is not difficult at all, after all, their reaction speed is so fast.
It is very easy to avoid being discovered by Mu Ling.
However, only 2,500 people could advance from each area.
This means that of the remaining 60,000 to 70,000 people, only 10,000 will die.
No one would think that those who didn't advance can still be alive. After all, this thing is merciful.
Another point is that the 5 meters per second limit is a very fair rule for everyone.
After all, some professions that rely on speed to win and some bulky tank professions have huge advantages in this kind of game.
But after the speed was limited, their advantage was gone, which left a glimmer of hope for others.
"I wonder if we'll be discovered if we exceed the speed by a little bit? A professional can reach a speed of 5 meters per second. Does this mean that we can all reach it together? After all, a low-level game like Statues can't be difficult for us."
"But how do we determine who will arrive first?"
“I don’t think it can be that simple.”
Everyone discussed the rules of this test. Since there was no way to escape it, they could only find a way to deal with it.
I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die. No one wants to be one of the two thousand five hundred people.
At this time, someone spoke quietly:
"If someone is really ahead, do you think he can really reach the finish line first?"
"Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Someone asked puzzledly.
The man shook his head.
"In the face of life and death, human hearts are unpredictable. Don't forget, the voice said that she would not care about anything other than the rules she set."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shut up and glanced at the people around them.
The meaning is very clear. Apart from the rules themselves, the greatest danger may come from themselves.
There are 10,000 to 20,000 people crowded together in each area. Who would be willing to be a loser?
If the person who lags behind launches a sneak attack from behind...
Originally, everyone thought that this test was just a test of reaction speed.
In the end, I realized that this was not a test of reaction speed at all, but a test of the heart.
Maybe, we can’t even get 2,500 people together.
"You should all be clear about the rules, right? Now, the second round of tests begins! "
As the voice fell, the world changed, and everyone was forced to move to four separate areas.
