I'm a God in an Online Game-Chapter 565
565 Chapter 585, Round 3: Magical Labyrinth
After Canglan City advanced, the other four gangs also found three quest items within two hours.
The second round and the second round ended.
Fortunately, the world and Dragon Soul were in front of these four advanced teams, so they did not continue to lose face and held onto their reputation as the top two gangs.
Another day later, the second round and the third round began.
The rules of the third round became simple from the previous complexity.
Ten guilds had a total of 10,000 people. Every participating player would receive a nameplate allocated by the system the moment they entered the competition.
Every time a player killed a player from another guild, all the nameplates that the other party had would be stacked on themselves.
Half an hour later, the competition ended. The guild that had the most nameplates won.
This time, there were no accidents. Meng Jingtian and the members of Canglan City were sent to the competition venue at the same time.
However, when they were sent to the competition venue, he realized that it was not as simple as he had imagined!
The competition venue this time was an extremely large maze. The passage of the maze was only two meters wide. After every guild was sent to this place, the team would only turn into a long strip and spread along the passage.
This meant that the advantage of the guilds that were good at group battles would be reduced. When the two guilds met, only the first or last ten or so players would exchange fire.
Of course, after the skills were used up, the players at the front could quickly switch positions with the players at the back. This was also a small advantage.
However, this didn’t matter to Meng Jingtian. His attributes far exceeded that of ordinary players.
It was just that the terrain of this maze made the competition a little troublesome.
“Ding! System announcement: The Phoenix stage of the gang has encountered a god-tier BOSS, the Golden Tiger, in the mysterious maze. They are not strong enough and were wiped out by the Golden Tiger!”
Just as Meng Jingtian, Huang Shang, and the others were clearing the way and exploring the maze, a notification sounded.
“DAMN! It’s only been two minutes...”Meng Jingtian muttered.
At this moment, he felt his arm being pulled by Huang Shang.
Meng Jingtian turned his head to look at Huang Shang, only to see him staring straight ahead. f𝘳𝚎𝗲𝘸e𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃𝘦𝚕. co𝚖
He turned his head to look ahead again, only to see that the tunnel ahead was filled with purple mushrooms the size of a palm that looked like small umbrellas.
There were black spots on the purple mushrooms, and it was obvious that they were not good.
As expected, as a small mushroom exploded, a cloud of purple-black fog spread toward them.
Seeing this scene, the members of Canglan city subconsciously wanted to hide. However, there were too many people standing behind them, so there was no place to hide.
Moreover, the moment they retreated, the team was in a bit of a mess because the people behind them did not know what had happened.
Meng Jingtian knew this, so he did not Dodge. Instead, he threw a divine examination at one of the mushrooms.
Shadow Mushroom (level 125) : a mushroom species from the dark world. It can not be moved and has no attack power. However, the shadow dust it releases will cause people to fall into a deep sleep.
“True Dragon Golden Body!”Seeing that the first exploded shadow mushroom was already right in front of him, Meng Jingtian quickly activated this damage reduction and immunity skill.
The Shadow Mushroom didn’t have any attack power, so the damage reduction was naturally useless. However, immunity to the negative effects allowed him to avoid falling into a deep sleep.
Almost at the same time as he saw the information about the shadow mushroom and used True Dragon Golden Body, Meng Jingtian shouted and had everyone activate their immunity skills.
Perhaps it was because the shadow mushroom didn’t have any attack power, but although it was Level 125, its information wasn’t very high-level. Even the probing skills of ordinary players could see its information.
By the time Meng Jingtian shouted, the players in front of him were already too late to react. Only a few smart players who had checked the information of the shadow mushroom in advance were not under their control.
As the players behind him were far away, after seeing the command in the party channel, they calmly responded. It was rare for them to fall into a deep sleep.
Jiang Ruxue cleansed herself and dispelled the sleep state of the players in front of her.
Meng Jingtian, Huang Shang, and the others walked forward and slashed at the shadow mushrooms.
The shadow mushrooms did not have a high HP. Each one of them only had a few million hp. Meng Jingtian could burn a patch of them with his burning sky fire. Soon, he cleared the patch of shadow mushrooms.
Everyone easily cleared the shadow mushrooms. At the same time, they were reminded that this competition venue was not only a maze, but it was also a maze filled with all kinds of checkpoints.
Just as they were sighing with emotion, a system announcement sounded.
“Ding! System announcement: The Famous Sword Pavilion has mistakenly entered the seven kill formation. All of them have been annihilated. Withdraw from the competition venue!”
At this moment, seven minutes before the start of the competition, two guilds had been directly eliminated!
Moreover, these two guilds had been eliminated by the competition terrain created by the system, and not by other guilds!
The third match was not as simple as it seemed in the previous rules. It was far more dangerous than the previous two matches.
This kind of danger did not only come from other guilds, but also from the system!
It could be said that while accepting the system’s test, they were also competing with other guilds!
Hearing these two consecutive announcements, the other guild players felt a little heavy-hearted.
However, there were also some guilds that were quick-witted and started to play tricks.
For example, in the previous competition, they had joined hands with the famous sword pavilion to attack Canglan City’s Horizon Sword Seminar.
After hearing the news of the elimination of these two guilds, the sect master of Horizon Sword Seminar had a sudden idea.
After they were introduced to the competition, they subconsciously explored the maze.
But what if they didn’t?
If they didn’t explore, they would just stay where they were. Wouldn’t they not encounter so many obstacles and dangers in the maze?
When the other gangs were eliminated by the system, wouldn’t they be able to reap the benefits and advance directly?
Thinking about it, the sect master of the Horizon Sword Seminar really did it. He ordered the gang members to stay where they were.
...
But two minutes after they stayed where they were, they were shocked to find a huge round rolling stone rolling over from the maze passage in front of them.
The round Rolling Stone occupied almost all the positions in the passage. There was no place for them to hide.
Looking at the Rolling Stone that was as tall as a mountain that was approaching at an extremely fast speed, the sect master of the Heaven’s end sword seminar turned pale with fright. He almost shouted at the top of his voice, “Run! Run quickly!”
As he shouted, he summoned a flying mount that he had just obtained a while ago, the Dodo bird.
The Dodo bird carried the leader of the world’s End Sword Seminar and flew into the air, avoiding the huge rocks. The higher they flew, the higher the walls of the labyrinth on both sides were.
The world seemed to be in a distorted line. No matter what, they could not escape the confinement of the labyrinth walls on both sides.
However, flying mounts were still a rare item at this stage. Not everyone had one.
Even among the elites of the top ten gangs, only a dozen out of the 1,000 people had flying mounts.
