In a duel between two people, if the loser died, wouldn't the winner lose his reward?
Only now did the Red Team realize that this was the question that the White Team asked Mr. Dot the last time they were standing.
At that time, Mr. Dot's answer was: Even if he died, his teammates would have to carry his body into the white mist and hand over his Advanced Ability.
Lin Sanjiu walked forward silently and picked up the small ball of yellow fur. The rabbit's body immediately fell limply from her hand. It seemed that it had completely lost consciousness. "What's more, it's a dead body," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
The remaining members of the Red Team watched as Lin Sanjiu's figure disappeared into the white mist. They looked at each other with lingering fear.
"What should we do next?" Chen Fan asked Zhong Junkai with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. "We can deal with the others, but we can't clash with that big guy. But, he was in C3 just now. We have no idea where he will move next … "
Zhong Junkai kept his mouth shut. He didn't know what to do.
The current situation was not good for them. Since the red and white team's scoring prompts were exactly the same, it meant that if they were to chase after the score, they would definitely be caught by the white team members who were waiting by the side. However, if they didn't go after the points, the White Team would take the points without any hesitation … In that case, if the gap between the points was too wide, they would still end up with a crushing defeat.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, the scariest thing about the White Team is that big guy, right?" Zhong Junkai said without much confidence, "If we go against the other members, we might not necessarily lose …"
Chen Fan nodded blankly when he heard that, "Hmm … Let's just score points without clashing with each other …"
Actually, he knew that his words were as good as not saying anything.
The black wall of light stood tall in front of them, blocking the unpredictable opponent on the other side. It had been quite some time since Mr. Dot blew. The wisps of white mist gradually gathered in the direction of the arena. The members of the Red Team waited silently for a long time before they saw Lin Sanjiu return to the arena.
She placed B.Rabbit, who had already woken up, on the edge of the grid and walked back to her own grid. B.Rabbit lay on the ground and didn't say anything. He only glanced at Lara before turning his head to look at the grid.
Next. It was the same process as the last time. Read the prompts, get into position again, and then Mr. Dot would lower the light wall …
The only difference was that this time, what gradually appeared behind the wall of light was Team Red's panic-stricken expression and Team White's calm and composed look.
The grids on both sides did not move at all. This meant that no one had scored or lost any points.
"Now, report your location —"
White Team: Long-legged B2, Hu Changzai A2, Flowery shirt B4, Loser D4. Hai Tianqing D3, Grandma C3.
Red Team: Wang C1, Lin Sanjiu B5, Zhong Junkai C4, Chen Fan C3.
This time, before Mr. Dot said anything, Chen Fan jumped up from his seat and stared at the old lady on the same row as him. He stammered, "How … How could this be …"
Lao Wang, who was standing far away on the first grid, snorted. "Are you thinking that the big guy will have to move away this time? Then, the C3 grid will be empty, and it will become the safest place?"
Chen Fan wiped his face. He didn't know if it was because of cold sweat or rainwater, but he didn't reply. He turned his head and looked at the arena.
"I told you that the White Team is chasing after us. Of course, they have already predicted that … Once the big guy leaves, someone else will take his place!"
At this moment, Mr. Dot's voice rang out, urging the contestants to get into the arena. Chen Fan calmed himself down and forced a smile. "So what if I crashed? My opponent is an old lady. I don't believe that I can't even defeat an old lady … "
After he said that, he walked out of the grid and stood under the green rock. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the rock. Then, he leaped up and landed on the arena.
Lao Wang snorted softly. He stared at the old lady who slowly walked out from behind the light wall.
She was probably less than 1.6 meters tall. Her back was hunched and her sparse gray hair was cut to the side of her ears. She looked like a typical, ordinary little old lady …
Before he could finish his thought, he saw her move. Then, a gray shadow swept past as if it was wrapped by a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, the old lady had disappeared.
Chen Fan looked at the old lady in front of him. He didn't know when or how she got on the arena. His calves were trembling.
"Granny, you're already so old, but you're still fighting so hard …" He tried to cheer himself up. "You may be agile, but my ability is very strong!"
The old lady was expressionless. She didn't even blink her eyes. She just got into a fighting stance.
"Indeed, you can't hear me …" Chen Fan's smile was a little weak. "Do you know what my name is? My name is Chen Fan! This name is as ordinary as Li Qiang … Haha, do you know that the more ordinary a name is, the more popular it is in online novels. I often have the same name as the main character! Oh, granny, you definitely don't know what online novels are … "
As he laughed, he raised his right hand. Starting from his thumb, the five fingers on his right hand seemed to be dyed with gold powder. They gradually changed color and emitted a faint golden light.
"My ability is a cheat … granny, do you know what a cheat is? It's a backdoor for me, giving me good luck! When all my fingers turn golden … "
The second half of the sentence was smashed into powder by a heavy impact like a cannonball. Blood and countless pieces of internal organs spurted out of Chen Fan's mouth. The old lady frowned as if she was disgusted by the filth. She then tilted her head, and the blood brushed past her ear, leaving a few drops of blood on her wrinkled face.
Then she bent down and stepped on Chen Fan, who was sent flying backward by the impact. Chen Fan stopped his body at the edge of the green stone. Then, the corner of her mouth slowly curled up.
"Kid, the reason I couldn't hear you was because of the dividing line … After I came up, I heard everything you said clearly."
Chen Fan's eyes were filled with disbelief. Unconsciously, tears mixed with blood seeped out from the corner of his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that even Xiao Ling seemed to have begged the old lady for mercy …
Why didn't I realize it earlier?
A gurgling sound came from his throat. His throat was already filled with blood, and he couldn't say a word. He strenuously turned his eyes to his right hand, and from the corner of his eye, a bright red piece of flesh could be seen. His right hand was only one finger away from turning completely golden …
"If you didn't talk so much nonsense, I wouldn't have known to attack before your hand changed color. Thank you."
Following the old lady's indifferent and emotionless tone, she stepped on Chen Fan with one of her cloth shoes. Chen Fan let out the last roar of his life, and then his body went limp, and he stopped moving.
The members of the Red Team were so shocked that they forgot to make a sound.
"Oh, a member of the Red Team has died in a duel. Send someone from the same team up here and hand over the advanced ability of the deceased." Mr. Dot's tone was as if he was ordering what to eat tonight.
The old lady took a step back and suddenly kicked Chen Fan's waist. Chen Fan's corpse tumbled down from the air and hit the ground with a loud thud. A mixture of mud and blood splashed into the air.
Lin Sanjiu's grid was the closest to the duel stage, so the water splashed onto her face. She closed her eyes and wiped the dirt off her face. She looked at the other two people who were completely dumbfounded. Without saying a word, she walked out of the grid, picked up the corpse by his feet, and dragged him toward the white mist.
Chen Fan died a horrible death. From his chest to his neck, there was a bloody hole.
"Even though I didn't know you for long, we didn't talk much, and we didn't get along well …" Lin Sanjiu lowered her head as she dragged the corpse by his feet. She mumbled to herself, "But the way you died is just too pitiful."
As she spoke, she dragged the corpse into the white mist. The wooden box that they had seen a few times was still a few feet away from them, quietly waiting for the next victim.
Creak. Lin Sanjiu opened the lid of the box.
"After all, we've known each other for a while. Don't worry …" She calmly put the dead body's hand into the wooden box. She watched as a faint light was sucked out of Chen Fan's palm and landed at the bottom of the box. "I will avenge you," Lin Sanjiu said.
Chen Fan had submitted his advanced ability.
Lin Sanjiu took the corpse's hand out and closed the lid. However, she did not leave. Instead, she lifted a corner of the box and touched the bottom of the box. Then, she nodded as if she had confirmed something.
Lin Sanjiu dragged the corpse out of the white mist and threw Chen Fan at the edge of the grid. When Lara caught a glimpse of it, she immediately let out a few retching noises and hurriedly crawled a few steps away from her.
When Lin Sanjiu returned to her grid, the notification popped up on the ground with a "ding dong" sound.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked at her notification. It was the same as the previous one. "There is a + 1 point reward ahead."
If he took another step forward, his position would become A5, which was the last grid in the upper right corner of the grid. So for now, he could be sure that the reward must be in the A5 grid … However, from what he heard about the White Team's positioning previously, the A4 shirt must have also received the notification of "+ 1 point reward on the right side". In other words, he would collide with him …
"Fourth formation, begin!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't turn around to look at her teammates. She didn't think too much and just walked into A5. (To be continued.)
PS:
'Thank you for the Student Gang's safety talisman. Did you and Big Jerk agree to each comfort me for a day?'
Well, as I said in the comments section …
Even though I do.
I can't hold it anymore. I don't have enough intelligence, yet I still have to write a battle situation.
But since it was his own brainstorm, he had to finish it even if he had to kneel down
