That's right, Xia Ruize who appeared at the entrance of the passage had already seen that there were already two contestants sitting on the terraced stands facing the stage.
The one on the left is a huge and strong man, sitting there like a hill. At this time, his helmet of protective armor has been taken off, and his square face with scars is facing Xia Ruize, looking fiercely at Xia Ruize. He seemed too thin for Xia Ruize.
On the right is a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He also took off his helmet and saw Xia Ruize appearing. He immediately put a smile on his face, stood up, walked towards Xia Ruize in a friendly manner, and took the initiative to talk to him:
"Friends from the East, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is the rest area. We have already passed the second level, but we still need to wait here for all the contestants who have successfully passed the second level to start the third level. Why don't we sit down together, There are coffee and whiskey here, I don’t know which one you like better.”
Although the malicious perception was not aroused, facing the approaching blond man, Xia Ruize still chose to avoid it coldly, and walked sideways to the other direction of the stand, expressing his attitude of refusing to approach him.
He has already "seen" that there are red bloodstains in the concealment of this player's protective armor that have been neglected to clean up. During this journey, Xia Ruize has never encountered a mutant creature whose blood is red. Could it be that the biggest bloodstains come from other people? Contestants
Mutated creatures are indeed terrifying, but humans are no less.
Faced with Xia Ruize's alienation and refusal, the blond man smiled indifferently, turned back to his original seat, and continued to wait for the arrival of other contestants while enjoying the drinks and snacks provided by the organizer next to the seat.
Xia Ruize avoided the two people occupying the center of the stand, and sat down to rest on the far right side of the stand.
In the stands, there is a small snack cabinet every other distance, Xia Ruize also has one at hand, but he has no interest in tasting it, who knows if the food prepared for them by the bad organizer is poisonous.
On the contrary, it was the bathroom at the top corner of the stands that aroused Xia Ruize's interest.
With his current attire, it is really difficult to go to the bathroom. He needs to take off the protective armor of the big man first, and then he can completely release himself.
In the spacious single room of the bathroom, Xia Ruize stared at the water flowing out of the toilet for a few seconds, and when he closed the toilet lid, he secretly threw in the recently acquired killing vine seeds.
Afterwards, Xia Ruize seemed to be sitting on the toilet seat and shut himself up, but in fact he was controlling the seed that had a slight connection with him and continued to grow.
Xia Ruize also didn't know the principle of the items produced by the main god. Just like the amber eagle and amber warhorse in the previous world, they could communicate with the users without eating or drinking, which provided great help for them to track the barbarians in the later stage.
And in this mission world, if he wants this killing vine to grow wantonly in the sewer, it should be possible, right
With an attitude of not trying and not trying, Xia Ruize sat on the toilet for half an hour, during which there was only one thought in his mind: grow, grow!
Finally, I have to say that it is indeed known as the most difficult mutant plant on Rogge Star. The tenacious vitality and strong growth potential of the Killer Vine even exceeded the expectations of Xia Ruize, a beginner.
By the time Xia Ruize put on his protective armor and appeared on the stands again, several new faces had already appeared in this theater-like rest area.
Xia Ruize, who spent more than an hour passing the second level, has long understood that the second level is called "Maze", but for the contestants, the real test is not the terrain at all, but the mutated creatures in the transit area and other contestants .
Players like him who choose the rightmost passage whenever there is a fork in the road, and explore the left passage in turn if there is a dead end, have successfully passed the maze, which is enough to show that the terrain difficulty of the maze is actually not high.
The players who failed to clear the level probably didn't know how to pass the maze, but were not strong enough and had to avoid the mutated creatures in the transit area. If they tried too many times, they would lose their way completely.
In the next hour, several players arrived at the rest area one after another.
Every time a newcomer comes, the blond man will warmly and friendlyly greet him and try to communicate. Some players, like Xia Ruize, refuse to communicate, and some players respond to the exchange, and the two sides quickly warm up.
So, when three loud bangs of "Boom, Boom, Boom" resounded throughout the maze area, there were already four contestants gathered around the blond man, communicating with each other.
The loud noise in the maze immediately attracted the attention of all the players in the rest area, and they all realized that this meant that the second level was coming to an end.
Xia Ruize and other players who had already walked out of the maze couldn't see it. After the loud noise indicating that the time had come for three hours, great changes took place in the maze.
The organizers dropped new mutant creatures from the sky in the transit area without the guardianship of mutant creatures. What's even more frightening is that the new mutant creatures are no longer confined to the transit area and can freely drill into the passage to search for prey.
In the past three hours, a total of 21 contestants were killed by mutant creatures or other contestants, and 53 contestants successfully passed the second level, scattered in four rest areas in different directions, that is to say, the maze area There are 15 contestants still trying desperately to find the exit of the maze.
But now, these 15 contestants have become a tool for the organizer to stir up the emotions of the audience and create the second climax of the show.
For the time being, no one paid attention to the contestants who had cleared the level. The attention of the organizer and the audience was focused on the 15 poor bastards in the maze who were frightened by the sudden change and fled in a hurry.
The danger level of the maze suddenly increased. The 15 contestants who had not yet left the maze were the most direct victims. At first they tried to attack and resist, but soon realized that the movement of the battle would attract other mutant creatures, so they had no choice but to fight in the passageway. The mutated creatures fled around to avoid the pursuit, and couldn't even think of fighting back.
In a panic, the contestants forgot all the part of the maze map that they had finally explored. Before they knew it, some even ran away in the direction of the small room in the first level. The performances of the contestants collapsing under despair and their tragic death made the organizer very satisfied, and also made the audience who watched the show very excited.
In the end, only 1 player among the 15 contestants successfully hit the correct channel and became the last player to pass the second level.
The contestants who had already arrived at the rest area were saved from such a miserable situation, but when they heard the noise coming from the tunnel, they had different expressions and the atmosphere was silent.
"Crack, crack, crack."
In the rest area where Xia Ruize was, the blond man clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. Standing in the center of everyone's sight, he said with a smile to the other thirteen contestants in the theater:
"My friends, my name is Cloris. Since we can gather here, it means that the next level will probably require everyone's cooperation to pass it.
I think, everyone, why not introduce yourself first, introduce your abilities and strengths and the number of energy boxes on your body, so that we can get to know each other better, and it will be easier to help each other at critical moments. "
"Cut! Talking is better than singing. Who knows whether to help each other or dig each other at the critical moment? What are you, why should I tell you the cards?"
As soon as Cloris finished speaking, a young man with cool red hair who was resting alone in the corner immediately mocked.
Although his voice is harsh, his words can be regarded as expressing the feelings of other contestants. Who knows whether everyone will be friends or enemies in the next level, and who dares to tell their true situation
"I was the second to arrive at the rest area. This is a proof of my strength. The first brother is not good at words, so I took the initiative to stand up and be willing to be the bond that unites everyone's strength and lead everyone to the end."
When questioned, Cloris didn't feel angry, but continued to persuade patiently, with a sincere expression of worry for everyone on his face.
"I'm afraid you can't represent my attitude."
Surprisingly, the burly man who looked like a hill stood up when he heard the words. Even though both of them were wearing protective armor, the burly man who stood up was still half a meter taller than Cloris, condescendingly looking down at him. The brawny man said angrily to Cloris, who had buckled a hat of "not good at speech":
"My name is Ivanov. I was the first to clear the customs and reach the rest area. If you want to follow me, you should follow me who is the strongest! If you don't accept it, let's fight!"
Smelling the strong smell of gunpowder between the two, the other contestants retreated a little distance, as if to make room for them to fight.
Xia Ruize, who was in third place, continued to sit in the corner, watching with cold eyes, keeping his attitude silent.
Xia Ruize's eyes looked at the two people in the center of the conflict, but he couldn't help but think of his teammates from the previous world. With his teammates acting arrogantly and forcefully, if he was here, he might take the lead and provoke troubles in fear of chaos. .
Even if you need to unite with other players to clear the level, the teammates probably won't speak harsh words slowly, but directly beat the others. Very good, won't there be obedient boys.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruize seemed to be able to see that scene, and even wanted to laugh a little.
In comparison, Xia Ruize's personality is too peaceful, he only sweeps the snow in front of his own house, and doesn't care about other people's roofs, he doesn't want to cause trouble. Therefore, he would just sit on the sidelines and watch the situation develop.
But is the trouble really something that Xia Ruize can avoid if he wants to
Obviously not. Cloris, who was in the middle of the conflict, decisively dragged Xia Ruize into the water. He turned to Xia Ruize and asked sincerely:
"As the third player to reach the rest area, who do you support more?"
Following Cloris' gaze, the other contestants looked at Xia Ruize who was sitting in the right corner of the stand. Not to mention Cloris, they really didn't expect that the elegant and thin young man turned out to be the first three tough passers warrior.
Xia Ruize is actually a bit wronged. His figure is not thin among orientals, but tall and well-proportioned. But there is no way. The first world encountered are all alien races with a height of more than two meters. Most of the contestants in this world are Xia Ruize's underestimation of the image of a muscular man in the West is completely out of comparison.
Ignoring everyone's suspicious and scrutinizing eyes, Xia Ruize, who was suddenly dragged into the water, still maintained a calm and peaceful expression on his face, but was stunned in his heart. It seems that he was influenced by his teammates in the novice world, because he finally replied:
"I'm Xia Ruize, I think I'm the most reliable, I vote for myself, you can hang out with me."
As soon as these words came out, the scene became even more chaotic.
When Cloris and Ivanov were surprised by Xia Ruize, who thought he was exiled from a marginal position, suddenly jumped out to fight for power, two more players jumped out one after another to fight for the position of team leader.
It was originally a strong competition between Cloris and Ivanov, but because of Xia Ruize's genius, it turned into a multi-party melee. This was something Cloris never expected. He saw Xia Ruize's attitude of protecting himself , who thought that Xia Ruize would choose him with a more friendly attitude between him and Ivanov, who would have thought that Xia Ruize would recommend himself
What's even more irritating is that Xia Ruize's well-behaved and harmless appearance naturally relieved people's defenses, and actually made two contestants choose him and stood next to him.
After some confusion, there were four people standing beside Cloris, three people standing beside Ivanov, two people standing beside Sharize, and two others standing alone , to show his attitude that no one will be selected as a player.
Thus, out of the mere fourteen contestants, there were actually five factions!
Cloris was stunned to death, what kind of vision do these people have? What camp did you choose? There are few people who can be used, and they have to be scattered, which is completely asking for a dead end!
The other contestants are not as sincere as Cloris. Who knows what the next level will be like, maybe everyone will fight each other to decide the winner at the beginning. The so-called standing in a team now is just standing and playing.
Facing the chaotic situation, Xia Ruize remained indifferent, and even wanted to laugh.
He just doesn't want Cloris to take the position of team leader. If the next level really requires teamwork, he may choose to vote for Ivanov.
As for the other two players leaning towards him
One also looks oriental, which may be why he chose Xia Ruize.
The other one is interesting. It was the brown-haired green-eyed attacker that Xia Ruize met first, who killed another contestant's attacker.
When the other party looks at Xia Ruize, Xia Ruize's malicious perception ability will be passively activated, and he will feel the maliciousness in the other party. Therefore, the other party will choose to come over. The motivation is very interesting.
Anyway, Xia Ruize didn't really want to win over his younger brother, so he didn't care too much. He listened to the exchange between the two calmly, and learned that the man with an oriental face was called Yamano Kenro, and the dangerous guy with brown hair and green eyes was called Abraham.
The fourteen contestants caught in a stalemate of doing their own thing didn't know that there were actually four rest areas after clearing the second level, which were arranged in four directions and looked like four small theaters.
After appreciating the wonderful show of the poor guy trapped in the maze struggling to survive, the audience turned their attention to the four small theaters, and they were delighted to see that the contestants were tearing each other apart.
In contrast, the contestants in Xia Ruize's East Theater were just arguing, and the level of conflict was considered low, because two contestants in the small theater had already started fighting.
One is the South Theater with the smallest number of players. There is only 9 passers in the South Theater. There is a dangerous person who does not hide the fact that his protective armor is stained with the blood of other players. He carelessly sends death to other players in the same rest area threaten.
If the other 8 people hadn't realized that the situation was not good in time and chose to form a temporary alliance to fight against dangerous people, I am afraid that one or two more people in the rest area would have to be reduced.
Even so, the two sides fought fiercely. Under the joint siege of eight players, dangerous people were able to deal with it, and finally exited the encirclement safely, which was enough to show their extraordinary strength.
The other one was the West Theater with the largest number of people. It may be that the 16 contestants who successfully arrived at the rest area seemed a bit too many, and there were many opinions. After the fierce quarrel, the two contestants who had lost their old enemies in the maze suddenly attacked each other , From fighting alone to involving most of the players in the melee, it only took a few tens of seconds.
Therefore, compared to the South and West theaters where conflicts escalated, the contestants in Xia Ruize's East Theater were just arguing, which was really nothing.
Of course, the most "harmonious" must be the North Theater with 15 contestants, because two of them are naturally in the same group. Under their strategy of attracting the majority and attacking the minority directly, they finally successfully completed the command of the team established.
