The moment Laplace came ashore, the clown's head exploded with a bang. A large number of ribbons and clown balloons floated out, as if celebrating Laplace's success.
Along with the ribbons and balloons, the audience applauded.
Laplace's performance on the track this time was better than the previous ropeway... Perhaps it was because the chase had been very lively, and Laplace had used a lot of beautiful tricks to avoid being swallowed by the clown balloons, and these tricks had become bonus points.
Therefore, the audience's response was a little more enthusiastic, but overall, it was still not a full house.
In order not to disappoint the audience, the host had no choice but to warm up the audience again.
Laplace completely ignored the noise outside and focused on perceiving the new information he had received.
"The challenger's code name is Silver Fox."
"Challenger Silver Fox has launched a solo challenge in the special dream" Sunshine Circus. " "
"Challenger Silver Fox has succeeded. The current progress is the" Swamp Track. " "
"Challenger Silver Fox has completed 2/5 of the track, exploration level is 25%. "
After subtracting the 11% exploration level from the Knife Mountain Track, Laplace's exploration level in the Swamp Track was 14%. Although it looked a little better, it was not that good.
However, Laplace did not care. As long as he completed the track, the exploration level was not important. Or rather, it was not important in this special dream of the "Sunshine Circus."
Laplace did not listen to the host's witty words. Instead, he waited silently for the appearance of the third track.
He did not have to wait long. Soon, the scenery was covered by a black curtain.
In the darkness, the host's voice was still chattering, "The next track is the Ring of Fire. Can the challenger succeed?"
There was a burst of boos in the darkness.
The host smiled and said, "I think you would like to hear my voice more, but the process is still going. Trust me, I will be back soon! Then, the time is now for the challenger. "
As soon as the host finished speaking, the dark curtain was lifted and a new scenery appeared in front of Laplace.
Laplace looked around and could not help but frown.
Previously, the host had said that the next track was the "Ring of Fire Track". She had thought that it was similar to a circus's Ring of Fire performance, but in fact, it wasn't … She was now standing on the beach. In front of the beach was the sea, a silver sea.
Laplace sensed danger from this weird silver ocean.
This was no ordinary ocean.
Putting aside the dangers of the ocean, what about the ring of fire? Where was the ring of fire? … Could it be that the ocean would catch fire later?
In the distance of the silver ocean, an island could be vaguely seen. Above the island floated a familiar clown balloon. He reckoned that that was the end point.
If the sea really turned into a sea of fire, how would they cross the sea to the other side?
Laplace walked up to the familiar signboard with doubts in his mind.
"Did you notice? The host didn't call you by your codename this time." Angor's voice came from beside her ears.
After a moment of silence, Laplace replied, "It doesn't matter."
"Maybe the host's attitude has something to do with the exploration rate," Angor guessed.
"I can feel it. Maybe he thinks my exploration rate is too low for him to waste so much time on introducing me. But it doesn't matter. I only want to pass the test, not the exploration rate. "
That being said, Angor was still worried about something. He could ignore the audience's enthusiasm, but the host was closely related to Sunshine Circus. If the host became cold, would it affect the rabbit girl's fate?
Angor kept his thoughts to himself. Instead, he accompanied Laplace to read the content of the signboard.
The signboard gave a simple introduction about the track.
Laplace was right. The silver ocean was indeed dangerous. The signboard clearly stated: "Any living being that falls into the ocean will lose all signs of life. Challengers, please do not jump into the ocean. Do so at your own risk. "
Was there really an ocean that could kill all living beings in this world? Angor did not believe it. But this was a dream, and an unpredictable one at that. Perhaps this was how the laws at the bottom worked.
Even with Laplace's imaginary constitution, Angor did not think she was qualified to challenge the rules at the bottom.
Following the signboard's rules should be his top priority.
If he could not jump into the ocean, how could he cross it?
The signboard also provided a solution: "There are dolphin in the ocean. The dolphin will follow the whistle. Ride the dolphin and cross the ocean to reach the other side. "
Laplace looked at the sea and saw a dolphin-like creature swimming in the distant sea.
The whistle mentioned by the signboard was also hanging on the signboard. It was a very ordinary whistle.
As for the "ring of fire", which Laplace was most interested in, the signboard also explained it.
"The ring of fire will randomly appear in the ocean after the challenge begins. Find the ring of fire, ride the dolphin, and jump over the ring of fire to reach the destination. If you do not jump over the ring of fire and reach the destination directly, you will fail the challenge. "
The ring of fire was not here yet because the challenge had not started yet.
But judging from the signboard, it would not be easy to find the ring of fire. The ring of fire would be hard to find in the vast ocean.
Besides, there was a time limit for this round — five minutes.
She had to find the ring of fire, jump over it, and reach the destination within five minutes.
Laplace assumed that the difficulty was in finding the ring of fire. But she was not worried because Angor could help her find the ring of fire.
Of course, Angor would not refuse. He promised that he would tell Laplace as soon as he saw the ring of fire.
Laplace felt that there were no more problems. Then, he picked up the whistle and blew it gently at the sea.
As expected, the dolphin heard the whistle and began to swim toward Laplace's location.
Jumping onto the dolphin, Laplace tried to control the direction of the dolphin. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she returned to the shore and pressed the timer.
When the five-minute countdown began, Laplace jumped on the dolphin again and signaled it to swim to the other side.
The Phantom Dolphin was very obedient. Moreover, its speed wasn't slow either. It sped towards the opposite shore as fast as lightning.
At this speed, the dolphin would reach the other side in three minutes.
However, reaching the destination was not her goal. Before that, she had to complete the mission of jumping over the fire ring.
"Do you see the ring of fire?" Laplace asked in a small voice.
"No," Angor replied.
One minute later, Laplace asked the same question again, and Angor's answer was still the same.
When the dolphin was about to reach the other side, Laplace could not help but ask again.
Again, Angor's answer was the same.
Angor was puzzled. His vision was similar to God's View, which allowed him to see the entire silver sea, but he did not see a single ring of fire.
The countdown had already started, and the track was fine. Why was the ring of fire still not here?
Could it be that the host was unhappy because the exploration degree was not enough, so he deliberately let Laplace lose and not give him the fire circle?
While both Angor and Laplace were still puzzled, the ring of fire finally appeared.
But Laplace already saw it without Angor's reminder.
This was because the ring of fire had appeared right in front of Laplace!
It should be a good thing to see the ring of fire. And it was not far away, which meant there would be no detours. However, both Laplace and Angor sensed that something was wrong.
In their imagination, the ring of fire was similar to the ring of fire in a circus. It was erected in mid-air, and people or tamed beasts would jump through the ring of fire. This was the so-called "jumping ring of fire".
But this ring of fire was different. It was not "erected". Instead, it was spread out on the surface of the water.
More importantly, when the dolphin jumped into the ring of fire, it was no longer under Laplace's control.
It began to swim back and forth in the ring of fire. No matter how Laplace tried to control it, it would not move forward.
Immediately afterward, the dolphin began to uncontrollably change the position of Laplace, allowing Laplace to stand on its mouth.
It looked like … a dolphin's head. However, the dolphin was now Laplace's head.
Seeing this, Angor had a vague idea.
"Is the dolphin performing?" Angor lowered his voice. "Maybe it wants you to perform with it before it jumps over the fire?"
"I don't think so," Laplace said.
When Laplace said this, he was obviously not confident enough.
She did agree with Angor's words, but she didn't want to do it while standing on the dolphin's mouth, especially when she had to do it.
So, she decided not to think about it. Instead, she wondered if there was something else going on.
As time passed, Laplace's expression grew darker and darker.
When there was only one minute left, Laplace finally gave up. Maybe the ring of fire was really a stage, and she had to perform before she could leave.
Laplace tried again, but there was only half a minute left.
Gazing at the distant shore, Laplace let out a long sigh and quickly said.
"I think I failed."
"When you fail, take Glepnir and Luigi offline. I'll wait for you in the reflecting space."
Laplace ceased to struggle.
She originally thought that she would be able to save herself, but she didn't expect that not only did she fail, but she also lost herself.
Laplace was in a very bad mood right now.
"Okay." Angor nodded. He knew that any words of comfort would not bring any positive effect.
The countdown ended.
The audience booed.
Angor did not watch any longer because he sensed that Laplace had gone offline.
He looked at Glepnir and Luigi and sighed deeply.
Luigi did not know what was going on, so he asked out of curiosity. Gleipnir saw through the truth and asked in a low voice, "Let's talk offline?"
Angor nodded. "Let's talk offline."
The figures of Angor and Glepnir slowly became blurry. Luigi finally realized what was going on and logged out as well after two seconds of hesitation.
…
When everyone opened their eyes, they saw Laplace and the rabbit girl already awake. They were looking at each other in confusion.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
Laplace wanted to say something, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back.
The rabbit girl was looking at Laplace worriedly. Even if she did not say anything, she could still see the worry on her face.
"We should sing a song right now." Luigi's voice interrupted them at an inappropriate time. Moreover, he really began to play the harp in his hand. Even though the notes he played were slightly melancholic and sorrowful, Laplace could not help but frown at him coldly.
"Shut up." The familiar voice stopped Luigi.
Luigi pursed his lips and stopped playing. "I'm just trying to lighten the mood."
Luigi did not know what was good for him, but he did manage to calm the atmosphere a little.
Glepnir took the chance to ask, "What happened?"
Laplace still looked a little uneasy, so Angor decided to talk to him first.
He briefly explained what happened in the "Sunshine Circus".
Gleipnir muttered in a low voice, "So there's a performance. Well, it's a circus after all."
After that, Gleipnir's gaze subconsciously shifted to Luigi.
When it came to performing, they did not lack talents.
Luigi was a performance maniac.
Luigi immediately understood what Gleipnir meant. He quickly said, "You want me to take on the challenge of the Sunshine Circus? No, no, no, no way. "
"I can perform, but I can't walk on a tightrope. Even little Laplace failed. How can I do it? Besides, there's still that Great Battle Royale. I don't think I can survive the pursuit of the clown's head. "
Luigi was trying to shirk the responsibility, but Angor believed that Luigi was right.
Performing might not be a problem for him, but clearing the level wasn't just about performing. He still needed to have a certain level of physical fitness.
Especially the second challenge, the swamp track. Even Laplace almost lost to the clown's head when he activated his imaginary constitution, let alone Luigi.
Angor considered for a moment and decided that there were only two options.
First, he could let Luigi pass some special dreams and obtain a fairyland item and a fairyland constitution. Then, he could challenge the Sunshine Circus and save Laplace and the rabbit girl.
It sounded like a good idea, but most of the crystal creations were in fairyland. It was still a mystery how the crystal creations could come out of the fairyland. The rabbit girl's headband was the only one, and Angor could not figure out how it worked.
Although it was possible to forcefully create crystal creations by killing monsters, would the crystal creations really be suitable for Luigi? If these crystal creations were also sealed with external powers and could only be used by immortals, then wouldn't it be pushing him into another fire pit before he even stepped into the fire pit of the "Sunshine Circus"?
Second, Angor could find a way to control Wonderland through the Tree of Authority. However, he did not know how long it would take for him to control Wonderland well enough to affect the Sunshine Circus.
Both options had their flaws. Considering everything, Angor preferred the second option.
Before he could tell Luigi his plan, Laplace spoke first, "Maybe we don't need to let Luigi take the risk."
"What do you mean?" Luigi was puzzled.
Laplace lowered his voice. "Before I logged off, I received a message …"
