"The rest of the time is up to the challengers. As long as you agree, the challengers can enter the stage at any time. Finally, we sincerely hope that we can see a beautiful taming performance! "
After the host finished speaking, he returned the time to the audience.
Angor took the chance to tell them his idea.
The contestants did not find anything wrong with it. If it worked, it was a good idea. After all, corpses were more obedient than wild beasts.
However, there were two problems to consider. Could the tamed beasts be killed? And could Gleipnir kill the tamed beasts?
Gleipnir did not know the answer yet. He only kept the idea in mind. Whether he would use it in the end depended on what kind of tamed beast he would face.
Apart from Angor's suggestion, the other contestants also talked about different ways to deal with different challenges.
However, these ideas were only suitable for Gleipnir.
Under the premise of "walking with a tamed beast", Gleipnir's success was not the most important thing. It also depended on the tamed beast's ability and whether the tamed beast was willing to cooperate with Gleipnir.
However, they did not know what tamed beast was yet, so they could not give more suggestions.
Gleipnir listened to everyone's ideas and did not say anything. He stood up and said, "I'll go first. At least I need to see what kind of tamed beast I'm going to face, and … whether Bila's whip will work on it."
The contestants knew that it was pointless to say anything now, so they did not stop Gleipnir and let him touch the animal statue on the table.
A burst of light came out of the statue and floated around Gleipnir.
As the light grew brighter and brighter, Gleipnir's figure slowly disappeared from his seat and stepped onto the shore of the sea pillar, the first challenge of the fourth track.
"Next up is the white bear challenger. What kind of surprise will he bring us?" The host spoke in a timely manner. "Let's wait and see!"
The host continued, "Before the white bear challenger begins, we need to choose a tamed beast. I wonder if the White Bear Challenger already has an idea? "
Gleipnir was stunned for a moment before he whispered, "Choose to tame beasts? You want me to choose? "
Although Gleipnir's voice was very soft, the host seemed to be able to hear what he was saying. He continued in an exaggerated tone, "Of course, as I said before, the taming this time isn't random. Naturally, it's up to you to choose … Don't tell me I didn't make it clear enough?"
Gleipnir said, "… Then I'll choose ants. Don't be aggressive, and don't exceed the length of my little finger. It's best if they can fly."
The host paused for a moment and said in a displeased tone, "… There are no ants. You can only choose between your code name or your teammate's code name. Also, you can't mention any conditions. "
In other words, Gleipnir could only choose between a black rabbit, a silver fox, a red-tailed frog, a white bear, and a black cat.
At least from the perspective of these five animals, none of them were too ferocious to humans … except for the white bear.
However, Gleipnir did not plan to choose the white bear.
Apart from the white bear, there were a few other animals. Gleipnir thought about it carefully.
If he followed Angor's method of killing the tamed beast and bringing the corpse to the challenge, the black rabbit would be the most suitable because it was the most docile.
However, if he followed the standard taming procedure, the black rabbit would not be good enough. The reason was simple. The black rabbit had short legs and was not very agile in the air.
According to the challenges, such as the stone pillars in the sea and the fire circle in the swamp, these tamed beasts could pass as long as they were obedient.
The red-tailed frog was the best in the Gravity Space. It could jump very well, and its webbed feet could secrete mucus, which allowed it to climb to higher places easily.
However, the red-tailed frog was a little weak in the Gravity Swing. Just like the black rabbit, it could not maintain its balance in the air and was not very agile.
Gleipnir considered carefully and slowly said, "I choose … the black cat."
The other animals all had their own challenges. As a feline, the black cat was not the best in any of the challenges, but it was not weak either.
All in all, it was the best choice.
Moreover, among these animals, cats were the first to be tamed by humans … or rather, animals that tamed humans.
They cooperated well with humans and were smart enough.
The most important thing was that cats were also small in size and were easily killed. Therefore, if they really followed Angor's method of dragging corpses and bones, the black cat would be a good choice.
As Gleipnir thought about this, a bright light fell from the sky like a meteor and landed in front of Gleipnir.
When they saw the true appearance of the creature that had descended from the sky, everyone fell silent …
What kind of cat was that?!
It was two meters tall and three and a half meters long. Its black fur shone like oil. Each strand of hair was very hard and looked like the quills of a porcupine.
This was not a cat. It was a black tiger!
Moreover, this black tiger only had to yawn casually, and its bloody mouth was enough to swallow the skinny Gleipnir whole.
More importantly, the black tiger shook its head and stared at Gleipnir with a ferocious gaze.
From the look in its eyes, it was obvious that this was not a tamed animal from a circus.
This was a wild, untamed black tiger! They could even say that it was the king of the forest that was flown here directly from the forest!
A powerful black tiger like this was a tamed animal? And they had to travel with it and reach the destination together?
Not to mention the crowd, even the audience booed. Perhaps in the eyes of the audience, how could a stooped little old lady wearing a heavy white bear costume win against the king of the forest who still had the wild nature of the forest? This was simply an impossible task!
At this moment, everyone began to worry about Gleipnir.
However, apart from a slight frown at the first sight of the black tiger, Gleipnir remained calm. She only stared at the black tiger with her murky eyes.
What was surprising was that the black tiger's ferocious round eyes actually evaded Gleipnir's gaze when they met.
Gleipnir's body was weak, but her memories, experiences, and experiences did not disappear. Now, they were all gathered in her eyes as she confronted the black tiger with her gaze.
The black tiger looked ferocious, but it was still a wild beast in the end. Facing those heavy eyes, it was naturally defeated.
However, the confrontation of eyes did not represent everything.
The black tiger only lost in terms of gaze, but it was full of vigor and didn't have high intelligence. It would forget its previous fear in the blink of an eye. Gleipnir was still weak. If the black tiger really attacked, her outcome would still not be optimistic.
However, to everyone's surprise, Gleipnir did not give the black tiger any time to react.
The moment the black tiger avoided her gaze, she reached out and pulled out a long whip from the void. She waved the whip high and struck the black tiger!
Gleipnir was not stupid. The moment the black tiger appeared, she knew that she had miscalculated.
It was basically impossible to pass with the black tiger's corpse because … she could not beat it.
As for taming the wild black tiger, Gleipnir did not think that she could succeed in a short time.
Her only chance now was the fairyland item: Bila's Long Whip.
Up until now, she only knew that Bila's Long Whip had strong attack power, but she did not know if it had any other effects.
The information on Bila's Long Whip did not say anything.
If it had a special effect that could deal with the black tiger, then this relay race could still continue. If Bila's Long Whip only had attack power, the black tiger should be able to resist one or two whips. However, Gleipnir would not be able to resist the black tiger's attack.
Therefore, she only had one chance.
The moment the black tiger avoided her gaze was her chance! Gleipnir seized the opportunity and swung the whip down. If she could deal with the black tiger, she would continue. If she could not, Gleipnir would immediately admit defeat.
At least, she could live if she admitted defeat.
Gleipnir's movements of whipping, swinging, and swinging seemed smooth, but she had not practiced it before. It only looked smooth, but there were too many flaws. Normally, the black tiger would be able to dodge with its reflexes, but Gleipnir's timing was perfect. The black tiger was shocked by her gaze. In the words of wizards, the spirit sea was in an unstable state. At this moment, the black tiger's ability to deal with emergencies was completely reduced.
It was not until the whip hit its body that the black tiger suddenly reacted.
However, it was too late.
On the other side, Gleipnir swung the whip. The moment it hit the black tiger, she received a message from the whip.
The message was still presented in her mind.
The message itself was very short. There were only two types: capture and kill!
Capture was easy to understand, but kill … This whip could kill the black tiger?
Gleipnir froze. How was this possible? She did not use much strength. Moreover, she had used Bila's whip in the outside world. It was indeed very powerful, but it should not be able to kill this huge black tiger with one whip.
Perhaps because Gleipnir's thoughts had been lingering on the choice of 'kill', more information appeared in her mind.
[Return to Original Form: In a special dream, it can cause true damage to some living things. ]
[So what if you're a noble? In my territory, you'll still be beaten to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy. ]
There was a new message for Bila's whip!
This was something that had not been there before!
The original message was just a sentence of Bila torturing Helen, but now there was a special ability of the whip: Return to Original Form.
At first glance, this special ability did not seem like much, but … true damage. The word 'true' was very frightening.
The place they were in now, including the Dream Crystal and the Sunlight Circus, was all illusory. As for True Damage, could it be that it transcended all these and attacked reality?
If that was the case, Gleipnir finally understood why one whip could kill the black tiger.
The black tiger itself was illusory, a figment of the dreamer's imagination. In the dreamer's reality, the existence of the black tiger was a problem. The whip directly caused true damage, so it would be strange if the black tiger did not die.
It's a pity that there are two restrictions on "Return to Original Form". One is that "it can only be used in special dreams", which limits the usage environment. The second is that "it can cause real damage to some living things". The "some living things" here didn't specify which part, but the range is estimated to not be large, otherwise, they wouldn't use such a conservative term.
However, these restrictions had no effect on the current situation.
After knowing the effect of 'Return to Original Form', Gleipnir tried to sense 'Capture'. Perhaps' Capture 'could also correspond to the whip's effect.
Just like before, when Gleipnir's thoughts revolved around 'Capture', she also received information.
However, the information this time was different from what she had imagined.
It was not that 'Bila's Whip' had a new effect. It was just that the black tiger noticed the effect of 'Return to Original Form' after being hit by the whip.
The black tiger did not want to die, so it chose to submit.
'Capture' was an option given to the black tiger after it chose to submit.
Gleipnir felt a little disappointed. It would be better if 'Capture' also corresponded to the whip's ability.
Still, 'Return to Original Form' was already good enough.
At least Gleipnir did not have to worry about the upcoming race.
Between 'Capture' and 'Kill', Gleipnir chose 'Capture' without hesitation.
It was his idea to kill the tamed beast and carry its body with him, but it was only a temporary measure. No one knew if the host would complain if he killed the tamed beast.
If he could tame the black tiger and truly walk with the beast, then the points he would get would definitely be higher than killing the black tiger.
After confirming 'Capture', Gleipnir wrapped the whip around the black tiger's neck.
In the next second, the black tiger slowly shrank and turned into a real black cat.
At this moment, the little black cat's eyes no longer held any hint of defiance. Facing Gleipnir, although it was still a little afraid, it still tottered over to Gleipnir's side and rubbed its head against her trousers as it meowed delicately.
From this, it could be seen that the little black cat had completely submitted to him.
Gleipnir did not say much, and led the little black cat straight to the first checkpoint …..
As for the crowd present, they were all stunned upon seeing this scene.
That was it?
"It seems that the whip really is useful," Laplace whispered.
Angor nodded in agreement. "I wonder what the real effect of the whip is …"
"We'll know when Gleipnir comes back." Laplace's anxious heart relaxed at this moment.
After she relaxed, she finally had the time to look at Luigi.
Earlier, Luigi received three bouquets of flowers, which represented three points. Laplace already knew that. However, apart from the flowers, Luigi also received a white envelope.
According to the host, the envelope was a private gift to Luigi. It could not be exchanged for points, but it represented his sincerity.
What was sincerity?
What was the purpose of the host's letter?
