This time, Xia Ruize’s actions were more cautious. He had realized that in this task, the enemies that he needed to be vigilant about were not only the organizer and the monsters on the road, but also other contestants.
What Xia Ruize didn’t know was that the result of his brief confrontation with the sneak attacker and the peaceful separation made many spectators who followed the conflict scream. They mocked the two contestants for not having the courage, they scattered like this without attacking each other. It was a waste of weapons.
As a result, there were more spectators betting on Xia Ruize’s fiasco in the second round in the game that was about to close in five minutes.
Even if he knew the audience’s complaints, Xia Ruize would not be touched. He had never expected that anyone would attack other contestants in a straightforward manner. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, let him kill other contestants who were also humans…. Honestly, he couldn’t do it.
The barbarians in the world of novices had thick statures, black patterns all over their bodies, and horns on their heads. They were clearly different from humans. Xia Ruize only treated it as killing humanoid monsters, just like kobolds and taurens.
But this mission world was different. Even through the protective helmet, it could be seen that the other contestants were also humans. How could he kill?
Xia Ruize focused on exploring the maze, and gradually discovered that every time he walked through an empty and narrow passage, there was a circular transit area.
At the transit area, there was always a “surprise” waiting. The difference was that some surprises were waiting for Xia Ruize intact, and some surprises had been killed.
In comparison, the latter situation made Xia Ruize more vigilant, because compared to the mutant creatures he leant about in the “Analysis of Rogge’s Mutant Creatures”, the news that contestants had already walk through the areas made him more uneasy.
After walking through two transit areas that had been cleared, and finally encountered a giant praying mantis who was waiting for him, Xia Ruize explored the surrounding area for a while and decided to try the depth of the Rogge star mutant creature by himself.
A sudden shot directly smashed one of the giant mantis’ midfoot. The next second, Xia Ruize flipped his hand and turned a high-energy vibration sword and rushed out. Of course, the injured giant mantis also rushed up at the tiny human who dared to hurt it. The huge “sickle” of the forelimb was raised high.
At the moment when the two were misaligned, one of the forelimbs of the giant praying mantis was cut open from the middle by a high-energy vibration sword. The wound was so neat and smooth that no blood was seen for a while.
Xia Ruize, who was short and was attacked with another sickle, did not run away. On one side of his body, his foot in protective armor struck hard on the middle foot of the giant praying mantis, and then he rushed forward. After borrowing force, turning over and climbing on the back of the giant praying mantis, he stabbed the small head of the mantis who had not reacted with a sword, ending all the actions of the giant praying mantis.
After easily killing the giant praying mantis, Xia Ruize finally regained his confidence, his strength accumulated with a large number of survival points was still reliable.
After getting the prey, Xia Ruize found a small box fixed on the head of the giant praying mantis. After opening the small box, there was a black square object inside, which was an energy box.
The energy box was a universal style. Protective armor and weapons could be driven by this energy box. Therefore, the more energy boxes you find, the greater the attack and protection power.
He stored the energy box in the special storage space on the protective clothing, Xia Ruize then jumped off the mantis’s body, and as usual, chose the rightmost channel to continue exploring.
The audience off the court was crazy because of his series of performances.
Originally, the audience thought Xia Ruize was a weak and incompetent little white face. Who would have thought that he was actually a strong fighter. How many audiences were not optimistic about Xia Ruize before, now there were so many surprises.
The only regret was probably that the gambling on whether Xia Ruize could pass the second level had been closed, otherwise, the gambling would definitely change a lot.
Xia Ruize’s recommended attention position that was removed by the director was pushed up again. The crisp battle scene just now was even edited into a highlight by the director and pushed out as an advertisement.
Rogge’s fighters mainly rely on powerful weapons and team forces to kill mutant creatures. Such exciting melee scenes were relatively rare. After the advertisement was promoted, not only the ratings of this battle of kings rose rapidly, but also attracted many people.
The “Battle of Kings”, an underground black game banned by the Federation, has an independent viewing system. The promotion of this paid viewing system was also a major source of income for the organizer. Therefore, the director who received real-time data feedback from the system sales excitedly set the recommended position firmly on Xia Ruize, looking forward to his continued efforts to attract more viewers to the show.
Xia Ruize didn’t disappoint the organizers either. After taking the test, he didn’t dodge after encountering mutant creatures. Instead, he decisively rushed to attack, collecting energy boxes one after another.
The last thing Xia Ruize encountered was a mutant killing vine. In the middle of the transit area in front of which was obviously wider than other areas, a large green bag was constantly agitating, and dozens of thick vines surrounding the large green bag were arrogantly waving.
Among the several weapons, the laser gun required the most energy, followed by the protective armor when the protective shield was on, then the beam bow, and finally the high-energy vibration sword. In order to save the limited energy, Xia Ruize had used it in many previous battles. He starts the scene with a laser gun, then approach and attack with a high-energy vibrating sword.
This time, it was no appropriate to get close and attack, he planned to try the beam bow.
Taking off the huge metal bow behind him, Xia Ruize drew the bowstring at the green big bag in the center.
With his movements, a bunch of light arrows gathered in the middle of the bow. The more the bow was pulled apart, the thicker the light arrows and the greater their power.
Thanks to Xia Ruize’s huge strength and protective armor, the entire bow was pulled to the maximum.
Then, a bunch of light arrows with the thickness of a wrist were pushed out by huge force, passing through the vines subconsciously gathered by the killer vines, directly penetrating the middle green big bag, and then the whole light arrow exploded, exploding the green big bag. It exploded to pieces, and the green liquid splashed all over the space.
“Wow! Cool!”
Watching the vines of the Killer Vine hanging weakly to the ground, the audience watching Xia Ruize scattered in different areas of Rogue Star burst into a unified cry of exclamation.
The battle scene where Xia Ruize simply killed the killer vines was cool and enthusiastic to watch.
This thin and weak player was really surprising. If children could easily shoot with a laser gun to produce lethality, and make two or three slashes with a high-energy vibration sword, then the beam bow was really not something people could play around with.
Simply put, it required technique and ability.
Obviously, Xia Ruize was one with good skills. What was even more rare was that he had good shooting skills, good sword skills, and archery skills. This could not help but make the audience look forward to Xia Ruize like a treasure, it had a lot of potential.
What a desperate and tragic death of such a player with strong and high potential during the test, the picture must be very exciting.
Unlike Xia Ruize who was “loved” and expected by the audience of the “Battle of Kings”, some contestants were disgusted by the organizer and audience in this level.
Of course, it was not the people who want to attack other contestants. The audience who will watch this show were people who were pursuing bloody excitement. They couldn’t wait for all the contestants to gather together and fight each other to make them happy.
Of course, such a straightforward battle scene was less exciting, and it was more interesting to watch these players struggle to survive in various difficult situations.
In short, the combat power was strong, and the player who had solved the most contestants or mutant creatures would be “loved” by the audience.
It Was the players who “break the rules” that were really disgusting for the organizers and even the audience.
These players didn’t know how to operate, but they were able to easily bring out a large number of inexplicable thermal weapons. Various primitive heavy machine guns and even rocket launchers shot at the mutant creatures. Although they were almost as powerful, there seemed to be no limit to the number of bullets.
Not to mention that even if these players were injured, they recovered quickly after drinking some inexplicable liquid that they didn’t know where it came from.
If Xia Ruize saw their performance, he might have guessed that these were all trialers from the endless world.
With the existence of the system space and even the space ring, the trialer who wants to take the hot weapon route was the existence of the mobile arsenal. All kinds of wounding drugs were hard currency on the black market. As long as the price was still reasonable, there was nothing that could not be sold.
However, this kind of operation that the trialer seemed to be accustomed to had made the director of the game organizer hidden behind the scenes angry, and it made the audience feel sick.
You must know that the Black Tournament also pursues “fairness.” This kind of rule-breaking behavior was not allowed even in the unruliest underground Black Tournament.
“Ho ho ho ho, they won’t be able to jump for long, in the third level, I want them to die! To die in the worst way!”
The director scolded the field department responsible for recruiting the players and the logistics department responsible for pre-match preparations. He even found such a guy as a player. It was like smashing the signs of their show and giving the audience an X.
If it weren’t for the first two levels of the competition, in which even the organizers would not be able to interfere at will, the director would definitely arrange the most miserable way of death for them.
Of course, starting from the third level, the situation was completely different. The organizer could influence the performance of the players to a certain extent, ho ho, they would die at that time!
Xia Ruize, who didn’t know about this, was in a good mood now, because above the killed vine, he saw the long-lost white treasure chest. He had killed five mutant creatures, and this was the first one to drop a treasure chest.
Taking the opportunity to find the energy box, Xia Ruize pretended to accidentally open the treasure chest, and a green seed appeared in his system space:
[Killer vine seed: After use, it can quickly spawn a killer vine.]
This was really a novel harvest, Xia Ruize’s mind turned around, and there was care in his heart.
As a result, after killing the vine and crossing the corridor on the far right, Xia Ruize saw a scene completely different from before.
What appeared in front of Xia Ruize was a small theater with several exits on the stage of the theater. All the contestants appearing at the entrance of the passage seemed to have directly stepped onto the stage for the contestants sitting in the surrounding stands to watch.
