Chapter 54: The Masterless Spirit
…
When Lin Yi left the Arrow Bamboo Forest with satisfaction, the number of spirit coins he carried had changed from six to a terrifying forty-one... In previous mountain trials, this result would have already topped the list.
, but there are 2,000 people participating in the trial this year, and a score of 41 is not even safe for the top ten.
Moreover, as a price, the spirit stone booby traps and spelled bullets that Lin Yi seized from the "special forces" have been completely consumed - booby traps can only work best in complex terrain like the jungle.
Therefore, Lin Yi laid out a large minefield without hesitation and harvested a total of twenty-three "careless" testers.
As for the testers who discovered the booby traps, while they were carefully avoiding them and searching for the booby traps, Lin Yi would jump directly from the top of the arrow bamboo and launch an attack like the man just now.
He closed the distance, activated the defensive spell, and punched out his fist - the whole set of moves was completed in one go. Those who were attacked were knocked unconscious by the punch before they could even see Lin Yi's face clearly.
Teleported to the outside by the light beam.
Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the "special soldier" who was sent out by his fist - your tactics are very good, but now they are mine.
The battle in the arrow bamboo forest broke out suddenly and ended very suddenly... When Lin Yi walked out of the arrow bamboo forest, the sound of fighting had not been heard in the forest behind him for a long time, and the light beams that teleported the eliminated ones out were almost the same.
He hasn’t appeared for two quarters of an hour.
Standing at the edge of the meadow again, Lin Yi looked to one side and could see several other testers emerging from the arrow bamboo forest - these testers were all far apart from each other.
Their eyes were full of fear of others, but no one took the initiative to attack others.
Compared with the dangerous arrow bamboo forest, the meadow with a panoramic view has become a "safe zone" in a sense.
These trialists are all winners of the battle in the Arrow Bamboo Forest. Each of them carries a lot of spirit coins from the eliminated ones... but no one dares to rashly show the number of spirit coins they hold without taking the initiative.
Attack the other winners.
The reason is very simple. Everyone's strength has been suppressed by Lingmei, but only you know how much it has been suppressed... Once you fight someone in an open area, even if you can defeat others, your own strength will be exposed...
And those who reveal their status will soon change their identity from hunter to prey...
There is another reason why people are reluctant to take action - that is, assuming that you successfully kill another trialist, and the eliminated person "explodes" a large number of spirit coins, then who will win these spirit coins?
To pick it up...or not to pick it up?
If you don't pick it up, the battle and hard-earned victory that you just exposed your strength will be meaningless; if you pick it up, not only will your strength be further suppressed, but you will also become a "fat sheep" with "high returns and low risks" in the eyes of others.
"——Everyone will closely watch every move of the "fat sheep", waiting for the right "slaughter opportunity"...
It has to be said that the setting of Lingmei suppressing the cultivation of the trialists is quite clever. It turns a trial that was originally just a simple competition of strength into a trial that pays more attention to strategy, planning and comprehensive games, making those with hard power
Special talents who are slightly inferior but have other abilities and specialties also have the opportunity to come forward.
There were thirty-two trial participants, including Lin Yi, who walked out of the Arrow Bamboo Forest one after another - not only Lin Yi's group was teleported to the Arrow Bamboo Forest. According to the frequency and scale of previous battles,
Lin Yi estimated that there were at least three hundred trialists teleported into the Arrow Bamboo Forest.
Only one tenth of the testers successfully passed this "first level".
These trialists were wary of each other and moved slowly towards the top of the mountain. As for the spirit coin dropped by the trialist who first ran out of the arrow bamboo forest and was eliminated by the concentrated fire, it was still floating on the original place.
The position - everyone focused their attention on the ownerless spirit coin, but no one dared to pick it up.
Not only that, everyone also deliberately avoided the location of the spirit coin. With this spirit coin as the center, a "no man's land" was formed within a radius of 200 meters.
"Ha, it's a hot potato." The two deacons supervising the area hovered high in the sky, looking down at the meadow below, chatting, "These kids are all very thieves, how about we make a bet?
I bet no one will pick up this spirit coin. How about a pot of twenty-year-old jade spirit syrup?"
"How can you make such a bet? I also bet that no one will pick it up, so what's the point of this bet?" Another deacon who was as fat as a ball raised his eyebrows and said, "In my opinion, why don't we give them some extra money?
Temptation, and then bet on who dares to pick it up first."
"Add some temptation? What do you mean? You can't break the rules of the trial." The thin butler said with some confusion.
"It's very simple, and it won't break the rules." The fat deacon chuckled, stretched out his hand in the direction of the arrow bamboo forest, and then flicked it, eight emerald-green streams of light flew out from the arrow bamboo forest, and the unmanned missile
The collected spirit coins gathered together.
In the Arrow Bamboo Forest, there were still eight ownerless spirit coins that no one had picked up for various reasons. What the Fat Deacon did was just move the locations of these eight ownerless spirit coins to the meadow——
As long as the overall number of spirit coins in the trial field is not changed, what he did is not considered a violation.
But for the trialists who walked out of the arrow bamboo forest, the situation was completely different.
One masterless spirit coin may not be enough to affect the final ranking, but nine coins...
The breaths of the testers who were closer to the Masterless Spirit Mine suddenly became rapid, while the testers who were farther away slowly moved towards the position of the Masterless Spirit Mine...
A melee is about to break out.
"What do you mean, who are you betting on?" The fat deacon glanced at his colleague and asked, "I'll let you choose first, but don't rely on me not to give you a chance when the time comes."
"There's no rush." The thin deacon shook his head, "Don't look at how tense they are now. In my opinion, they won't be able to fight for a while."
"That's impossible to say... Have you seen the thin boy with long white hair and gold and silver swords on his back in the southeast? That is the direct disciple of the Sixth Elder. His cultivation level is one step away from the later stage of foundation building. Whether it is
He is the best among the younger generation in both spells and swordsmanship. If you don't overpower him, I will." The fat deacon winked.
The thin deacon snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Oh, that boy is very strong, but he harvested sixty-two spirit coins in the arrow bamboo forest... Do you think his cultivation level is one step away from the late stage of foundation building?
