Tianshou Dongshan.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi deliberately stayed for half a day before starting to move up the mountain.
The two should be the first to discover that there are prisoners entering this Tianshou Mountain. Presumably, there will be a large number of people who will be eliminated in this eighth realm, and even encounter some vicious gangsters. Many members of the younger generation are in their hands die.
"What should we do now? Could it be that the success or failure of the border crossing is judged by the number of prisoners killed?" Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu.
"Let's go up first. In half a day, something should have happened." Chu Mu drove the night thunder dream beast and walked in front of Ye Qingzi.
It was almost evening when Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi started walking up the mountain path, and the setting sun slanted, stretching the entire eastern mountain shadow very long, and it really looked like a giant dragon crouching.
When the two walked up the ramp, a bloody smell wafted down from a higher place along the mountain wind.
Chu Mu was very sensitive to the smell of blood, so he signaled Ye Qingzi to stop first, and then he drove the Thunder of the Night Dream Beast, and nimbly circled to the high ground above from another direction.
"I can't help but fight, I thought the young people in the eighth realm are so powerful, that's all." The rough voice laughed.
Chu Mu looked around, and soon found the owner of the voice. This voice belonged to the rough prisoner who was meditating by the pool before. He looked rough and sloppy, and his beard hadn't been taken care of for a long time. .
The prisoner's brown eyes looked very murderous. At this time, the rough prisoner was staring at the two pale young contestants with his eyes.
A total of five soul pets of the two young contestants were killed, and the smell of blood came from these five soul pets.
The other three prisoners together with the rough prisoner each had a soul pet who was not weak. Obviously, with the cooperation of these four prisoners, the first battle was considered to be a very smooth victory over the two young contestants.
"Send a signal, let the guards of the competition side throw these two out, and the penalty for each of us can be reduced." The man in the short shirt said with a low voice.
The man in the short shirt was probably in his thirties. Chu Mu could judge the strength of the other three soul pet masters through his soul thoughts, but he was the only one who could not detect the strength of the man in the short shirt.
Chu Mu is now the soul master of the five thoughts, so he should be very high in the second echelon, and the man in the short shirt must be above Chu Mu in his soul thoughts.
The four prisoners did not kill the two young players, but sent out a signal to call the guards here.
The guards of the competition are all middle-aged members, and their strength is much higher than that of the prisoners. Therefore, although the four prisoners are not kind, when the two guards of the competition received the signal and flew here, they did not dare It's easy to make mistakes.
"You'd better be honest, if we find out that you have murdered someone, you will still not be able to escape the punishment!" Saifang guards in silver armor swept across the four prisoners and said with a bit of sternness.
"But if these little things want to kill us, and we rise up to resist and kill them, is this also a punishment?" said the tall prisoner.
The guard of the Silver Armor Saifang raised his mouth and said: "Do you think that putting you here is really a commutation of your sentence? Surely most of you like you will be executed if you enter here. Do a good job." Be prepared for this, you are not qualified to maintain an equal relationship with the players and us."
"What do you mean by that!" The rough prisoner immediately widened his eyes, looking very annoyed.
In fact, the words of the guard of the competition also angered the other three prisoners. After all, if the prisoners released here have a high chance of dying, then there is no need for them to be merciful to the players, because the two sides are completely unequal Yes, the prisoners can't kill the players, but the players can kill the prisoners at will.
"You are props in this competition, don't set yourself so high..." the silver armor guard said arrogantly.
"Little thing, when your grandfather was rampant in Tianxia City, you might still be playing with mud. If it were before, I could kill you with a single pet!" The rough man has the most irritable temper. The latter's face immediately flushed red, pointing at the man in silver armor and saying angrily.
"Why, if you want to die, I can help you." The silver armor guard looked at the prisoner contemptuously, and said in a cold tone.
"Zhang Tong, don't be impulsive." The man in the short shirt pulled him away, and at the same time let his soul pet suppress the rough prisoner's soul pet that was about to move.
Most of the main favorites of the four of them are the dead, the seal of the seal, and the second favorite is definitely not the opponent of these guards from the competition. If they start their hands, they must be the ones who die.
"It's good to do it for yourself!" The two guards of the competition team snorted coldly, twisted the young people whose souls were injured, and took them into the air, flying towards the outside of Tianshou Mountain.
The two guards of the competition are both wing-type soul pets, and their flying speed is also very fast, and they rose to high altitude not long after.
The four prisoners stared at the two extremely arrogant guards with cold eyes, until they left completely, the prisoner named Zhang Tong said indignantly: "If I knew it earlier, I would have killed those two boys just now. It’s good to relieve my anger, I think that when Zhang Tong was not imprisoned, who didn’t respect me... "
"Don't forget about the past, now we are prisoners. If each of us beats five players, our penalty will be halved. It's better to be conservative. After all, even if we kill people again, we will still be controlled by the world's competition. There is no way to escape. Get out." The man in the short shirt said.
While talking, the short-shirted man suddenly frowned, his gaze swept aside like a sword, and then he stared closely at the place where Chu Mu stayed before.
"What's the matter, Cai Ji?" asked the slightly swollen middle-aged female soul pet master.
"Someone noticed the fluctuation of soul thoughts last time, but thought it was the soul thoughts of Sai Fang's guards. Now that Sai Fang's guards have left, the soul thoughts still exist..." Cai Ji said in a calm voice.
The rough Zhang Tong was furious, and when he heard about someone, he even jumped on the back of his colorful tiger and ran towards the direction Cai Ji pointed!
The colorful devil tiger has already reached the rank of ninth-level low-ranking monarch, and its strength is also in the ranks of the second-tier strong pet. After this colorful devil tiger suddenly jumped out, it let out a fierce roar!
With the spread of sound waves, this roar spread in all directions, trying to scare the enemy out of their loopholes directly through this roar.
The roar echoed back and forth up and down the ramp, and after Zhang Tong drove the colorful tiger around for a while, he didn't find anyone.
"Boss Cai Ji, have you not fought for too long, and you have a mental illusion that there is no one there!" Zhang Tong said angrily.
"Maybe." Cai Ji immediately released his soul thoughts when he sensed any movement, but he didn't notice anything, and Zhang Tong had already made a round of inspection to confirm that no one else could appear around. I can only think that these are illusions...
"I'm getting angry right now, let's go straight to kill, there must be a lot of itchy things waiting for us, if there is a woman, I don't care whether to increase the punishment or not!" Zhang Tong is obviously a grumpy guy, after finishing speaking Afterwards, he directly steered the colorful tiger towards the ramp.
The others didn't think too much, and drove their soul pets along the ramp one after another, starting a hunt for the contestants.
Not long after the four of them left, the figures of Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi slowly appeared in the shadow of the rock recess under the ramp.
Beside them are the Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Purple Shirt Dream Beast. These prisoners are members of the middle-aged generation. Their soul pets may not be very strong, but they have very keen insight. Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi The two dream beasts cast their hidden skills at the same time and barely escaped their search.
"These are a group of very experienced soul pet masters, we must be extra careful." Chu Mu said with lingering fear.
Chu Mu's ability to hide was already very strong, but it was discovered by that Cai Ji in the end. There was indeed a certain gap in strength between the young and middle-aged.
"Well, let them leave for a while before we move on." Ye Qingzi said.
In fact, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi may not be the opponents of the four prisoners, but there are four of them in total. If they confront each other directly, the premature consumption of combat power will not be worth the loss. After all, the border crossing lasts for half a month.
…
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi deliberately waited for a while to confirm that those people were some distance away before moving on.
The two of them haven't determined their direction for the time being, they can only follow the footsteps of the four prisoners, and they can be regarded as helping themselves to clear the way through these four prisoners.
Probably at night, when Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi approached a plank road, another strong smell of blood blew from the cliff outside the plank road.
"Have they eliminated the contestant again?" Chu Mu asked in surprise. The strength of these prisoners is really not weak, and they have dealt with several young players in such a short period of time.
This time Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were more vigilant and did not approach the four prisoners easily.
After deliberately staying for a while, Chu Mu let the Night Thunder Dream Beast take advantage of the darkness to go down the cliff along the plank road to see the source of the bloody smell.
"Each of them has to beat 5 players to be able to reduce their punishment by half. If there are four of them, they will have to beat 20 young players in total. The finals of the world are already at the higher level of the power pyramid when they reach the eighth stage The position is right, there are only about 20 players in the Soul Palace in Tianshou Mountain, which means that the four prisoners will all have their sentences reduced, and there is a high probability that they will meet the strongest player from a big force... and most of the strongest players will There are also team members, in fact, it will be difficult for them to deal with the top three in a certain faction's strength, so the probability of them wanting to halve their punishment is very, very low." Ye Qingzi whispered to Chu Mu .
"Well, the prisoners are definitely not the only group of them. If there are many groups of prisoners competing, and they all beat the weaker members like robbing, then there will always be many prisoners who have to face the stronger members in order to reduce their sentences. The players in the world, I think the world should have already calculated it. The strength of each player is unpredictable, but they can roughly evaluate the average strength of all the players in the eighth realm based on the data of previous years, and then Release a certain number of prisoners based on this kind of data, and the number of released prisoners must allow most of the players to be eliminated, and at the same time, most of the prisoners must be defeated or killed..." Chu Mu said, thinking of something after he finished speaking, adding road.
"The battle in the eighth realm will be very fierce, because if the number of prisoners and the number of players form a very contradictory ratio, we must go through a life-and-death battle to make the two sides tend to a stable number..."
What Chu Mu said made Ye Qingzi think. Soon, a smile broke out on her face, and she looked at Chu Mu with those beautiful and charming eyes.
Seeing Ye Qingzi smiling at him, and seeing that her smile was beautiful and at the same time giving off a sense of wisdom, Chu Mu's mind wavered slightly, and he subconsciously grabbed Ye Qingzi's white and tender palm, and pulled her towards her. Get closer to yourself.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qingzi hesitated, staring at Chu Mu with her beautiful eyes.
Now Chu Mu is becoming more and more dishonest, whenever he has a chance, he will do something.
"Hey." Chu Mu smiled, his intentions were already obvious, it seems that there is no need to explain, right
"Be serious, let me tell you something serious." Ye Qingzi said seriously.
"Tell me, I'll listen." Chu Mu also said very seriously, of course, he didn't let go of his hand, Ye Qingzi's palm was thin and smooth, white and tender, holding it like a piece of nephrite...
"You just said that the numbers of the two sides will eventually reach a balance, so I think this should be the key to breaking through. Half a month is enough for many players and prisoners to meet several times in various places in Tianshou Dongshan. The chances of fighting It will be very big. Prisoners will continue to eliminate players in order to reduce their sentences, but at the same time, in order to protect themselves from being killed by players, they will not provoke players who are too strong. This will gradually lead to the fact that there are only so many players left in Tianshou Mountain A group of players who are stronger than the prisoner, then this group of players will succeed in breaking through..." Ye Qingzi said with a slightly red face.
"Well, it makes sense. Prisoners can reduce their sentence for every 5 people who are eliminated. If the competition controls the number of prisoners well, it can also ensure the number of players who successfully enter the realm." Chu Mu finally heard Ye Qingzi's analysis. Understand the purpose of the competition!
"I don't know which high-level team came up with the idea..." Ye Qingzi said.
"It's really very ingenious. Maybe many players won't understand what is considered a successful breakthrough in the end." Chu Mu said.
"Oh~!"
When Chu Mu was secretly admiring Sai Fang for coming up with such a special way to break into the border, the Thunder of the Night Dream Beast had already returned.
"How's the situation?" Chu Mu asked.
"Hey~!" Night Thunder Dream Beast told Chu Mu what it saw through its soul thoughts.
However, after listening to it, Chu Mu's expression changed!
Before, Chu Mu always thought that the four prisoners had eliminated certain contestants, but in fact, three of the four prisoners were killed this time, and only Cai Ji survived!
