Chapter 452: Setting up a checkpoint
Chapter 452: Setting up a checkpoint
In the dense mountain forest, figures shuttled back and forth quickly, startling a flock of birds.
From time to time, you can hear bursts of shouting and fighting.
The fierce competition has quietly begun since the moment they set foot in this mountain range.
This boundless mountain range is now like a sieve, picking out the truly shining gold from the countless geniuses.
Since the official has not made detailed regulations on the rules, it can be seen that this area only abides by the most basic jungle rules, which are survival of the fittest and extremely cruel.
Looking at the agile figures running at high speed in the shadows, Lu Yun felt that compared with the cruel competition mode of the Empire, the Federation's competitions seemed like a bit of a game.
A scream suddenly came from the front.
Several poisonous arrows suddenly shot out from the branches of the trees. Someone was accidentally hit and fell to the ground with a scream. The place where the arrow was hit quickly turned black and blue, obviously containing a strong poison.
Seeing that the student who was shot by the arrow was about to die, two figures with their arms wrapped in white cuffs passed by Lu Yun and the others like afterimages and stopped beside the poisoned person.
He skillfully and quickly detoxified the poisoned person and then took him away.
At the same time, Lu Yun's wrist shook as he received Xiao Ai's reminder.
The first person to be eliminated was the student who had just been accidentally poisoned.
At this time, it had only been ten minutes since everyone entered the mountains.
Spia let out a light breath and looked at Fan Yu, who was participating in the competition for the first time and was shocked by the student's miserable condition. "See? This is the cruelty of the league. Don't take any chances!"
"When the competition begins, everyone is both hunter and prey!"
Fan Yu's childish face was tense as he nodded vigorously: "...I understand."
Lu Yun pulled the missed arrow from a nearby tree and looked at it in his hand.
Qiqi came closer, blinking in amazement, and exclaimed, "This arrow is actually made of tree branches, and it's laced with the poison of a double-tailed scorpion. It's camouflaged and hidden in the treetops, so it's hard to detect without careful observation. No wonder someone fell for it so quickly."
"Compared to this, the craftsmanship of this maker is superb." Lu Yun smiled and stuck the branch arrow into the soil to destroy it.
"This place is truly a great training ground for students like you. It offers both real dangers and timely assistance, greatly improving your ability to respond to various situations."
Lu Yun believed that the student who was shot by the arrow would be extremely alert when facing such a situation in the wilderness next time. This memory was deeply engraved in his mind.
You students of the academy... Spia and the others looked at each other and wanted to remind Lu Yun that he was not that old.
"We encountered this kind of ambush at the beginning. It will definitely be more dangerous later. Everyone, be alert."
The trees on the side were shaking. Lu Yun looked up and saw the holy boy Mu Wang from the church standing on the treetop and looking into the distance.
King Mu suddenly lowered his head to look at Lu Yun and the others on the ground. Perhaps he recognized Spaya and the others. They grinned in a mocking smile and then jumped away.
"This guy!" Leo spat, feeling very annoyed by that smile.
"Don't be influenced by him, let's go." Spia reminded.
Swish-
More and more figures appeared in the mountains and forests, rushing towards the place where the beam of light rose.
From time to time, someone would suddenly attack the person next to him, forcing the other person to retreat so that he could take a step forward.
As the fight progressed, it became more and more fierce.
Lu Yun and his team ran for ten minutes and experienced no less than five attacks.
This is because Lu Yun and his team are from Bertwood College, a recognized top college, otherwise the number of attacks would probably be several times higher.
……
In the square outside the pyramid, rows of names kept flashing on the light curtain hanging in the sky, sometimes rising, sometimes falling, or disappearing directly.
“I wonder who will take first place this time.”
"This is only the first round, why are you all so competitive?"
"Is this your first time watching the league? The format of each competition is different. You might see this as just one sprint, but it's very likely that all subsequent events will be conducted in this sprint. This is not unprecedented. So these players will try to minimize the number of competitors."
"This is indeed the first time I've seen such unspoken rules."
“This kind of competition is so exciting!”
Suddenly there were bursts of cheers.
It turned out that someone discovered that the team from Moyang College was at the top of the list.
"As expected of Jian Yao, you are so fast that you can even come from behind."
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the first to arrive."
"Wait, why did they stop?"
The people who were watching the live broadcast were suddenly stunned.
It took them a long time to finally understand what the team from Moyang was doing in the live broadcast, and the whole square was suddenly in an uproar.
……
"Set up roadblocks?"
Lu Yun and the others suddenly stopped and looked puzzledly at the figure not far away who was waving with open arms.
"Everyone, don't worry. The only mountain path ahead is blocked by Jian Yao from Moyang Academy. Everyone knows his strength. If you want to get through, you need to unite!"
However, despite the young man's desperate shouting, few people actually stopped.
Some people even took the opportunity to get close and launch a sneak attack.
"Assholes, I was kind enough to unite with everyone to deal with Jian Yao, but you attacked me, are you still human?"
"Who knows if you were sent by Jianyao to delay everyone's time."
"Fuck you!"
The battle broke out instantly, and people would sneak in from time to time, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate a few potential opponents.
Lu Yun watched the scene calmly, with no intention of interfering.
"Captain, no matter how powerful Jian Yao is, he wouldn't dare to block the only way up the mountain, right?" Leo asked in confusion.
To reach the giant wedge-shaped building in the center, one must climb over the mountain range in front of them. The mountain is extremely steep, like a towering city wall blocking the earth.
There is only a winding path for people to go up.
If you don't take the small path, you have to climb with your bare hands from other places, which is much slower than the others.
Unless you are stupid, you will definitely not choose the rock climbing route.
Lu Yun was also curious about Jian Yao's intention in blocking the way.
Could it be that this Jian Yao intends to eliminate everyone at this first level?
This is simply impossible.
Now everyone is unwilling to be the first to get injured and eliminated, so he is kept stuck in the road.
But once he arouses everyone's anger, he and the Moyang Academy team behind him will definitely be attacked by everyone.
Anyone who is not stupid should understand this principle.
Lu Yun focused his gaze and looked forward: "Go over and take a look, and you'll know."
