The sky in the free world once again became dimmed with darkness as night fell, and the tavern, driven by the passage of time, became more and more lively with the return of players, but it was different from the previous noisy ones.
This time, there was a slightly different flavor and content mixed in with the hustle and bustle of this group of players drinking and having fun - exactly the same as the situation that appeared in various major pubs inexplicably the day before. Countless pairs of eyes were sitting on the wine table.
They were gathering on the live broadcast screen that was placed here through the use of magic. The spirit aroused by the broadcast of the ley line sometimes became concentrated with the simultaneous fierce battle, and sometimes they cheered loudly together with the victory or defeat.
and talked about: "——Wonderful, really wonderful, simple and thoughtful tactics, finally successfully executed, but the final reversal was even more unexpected."
"After all, he was the last UEFA Cup champion, a figure who climbed to the top by stepping on countless strong players. His final counter-attack may be a bit whimsical in the eyes of ordinary people like us, but in the eyes of others, it may be a piece of cake.
"
"Don't rush to brag. The value of the last UEFA Cup champion is doubtful. What's more, the game these people are playing now has nothing to do with the UEFA Cup! Although they have such a big heart cultivated by years of experience,
It’s truly amazing…”
"So this is a more level competition! You didn't believe it when I said this before! Oh, it would be great if I had the chance to go and watch it live - wait, according to what they just said, the winner is the second best in the world
The coach is now being sent to a new arena?”
"Will there be no real-time broadcast of the upcoming challenge?"
As more and more players realized their doubts, the figure belonging to Phoenix Tianwang had already appeared in the core area of the Land of Fire. The first thing he felt when he had just broken free from the teleported light was the rush of light on his face.
The burning heat, the vigilant attention was also pulled to the front by Duan Qing's reminder at the next moment: "Don't move, I don't care if you fall."
"Really, they told me to find a safe place by myself, but there is no safe place here."
Trying to unify the voice in his ears with the situation in front of him, the archer holding the weapon naturally cast his gaze on the back of the gray-robed magician. With the help of the secret whisper Ninglan, he was busy with something.
At this time, he was also squatting in the angle formed by the dark wall and the ground, as if he had already foreseen the arrival of the challenger and was preparing something: "People originally designed this high-rise building to look like this, no matter which side
The area of the floor is so small, even if I stand in the middle, the spatial projection range for you cannot be extended very far... OK, OK, I should praise you."
"Who are you--"
"I am Linyuan Duanshui."
I don't know who he was talking to on the phone. Duan Qing, who was squatting on the ground, raised his head. After the conversation was interrupted, his brows slightly wrinkled under the sharp gaze of Phoenix Tianwang, and then he raised his hand.
A layer of dark red light suddenly spread out: "Now he is probably the person you have always wanted to challenge... Really, I don't know why you are so persistent in chasing me."
"This is the flame halo. I'm afraid you will be burned to death here." He smiled at the archer who subconsciously avoided the red light and took half a step back. Duan Qing then reminded him again: "Also, don't do it again.
Backed up."
"..."
Noticing the gap in the wall not far behind him and the magma ocean appearing beyond the black ruins, Phoenix Tianwang took a gentle breath: "What is this place?"
"The Land of Fire, the desperate situation in the extreme northwest of the Free Continent." Duan Qing's reply came to his ears: "Counting it together, you and I might be the first ones to come here... Ahem, adventure.
Or, if no hidden master who likes to hide his clumsiness has come here before."
"So this is the battle stage you chose?" Moving his steps carefully, Phoenix Skywatch tried to move to a safer place in the confrontation: "I didn't expect you would choose such an extreme position and
Circumstances—are you a magician now?”
"I'm not good at fire magic. Xiao Qian might be more adaptable here than me." Duan Qing replied without looking back: "Also, this is not a deliberate choice by me."
"I just happened to come to this place."
The gray-robed magician clapped his hands and stood up. It seemed that he had completed his work and smiled in a low voice. He then spread his hands and followed the same smile expression as Ningyu Ninglan, who was facing the other side of this narrow floor.
Phoenix Tianwang collided with each other. He involuntarily pulled the bow and arrow in his hand into a full moon, and pointed the arrow at the corner of Duan Qing's archer's eyes, still paying attention to all the details around him, the stream of flames and the roar of magma.
Then it became the first signal to break the silent and hot atmosphere. Freya's figure suddenly lit up in the corner of the room: "The third building can continue down, we - eh?
"
"Who is this?"
As if he didn't pay attention to the hostility emanating from the archer in front of him, the great magician shrouded in a black cloak only looked at Phoenix Tianwang for a moment: "Not your companion?"
"Companions don't count, they can be considered colleagues at most." Duan Qing scratched his nose and introduced with a smile: "Didn't there be a teleportation accident just now? It seems that the colleagues on the other side of the Shenshan Mountain are very concerned about that.
I was a little dissatisfied with the accident, so I sent another one over."
"...If there is any conflict between you, I suggest that we deal with it later." The eyes under the cloak were a little more indifferent, and there was a hint of impatience in Freya's tone when she turned to Duan Qing: "
Now is not the time to waste time, and I don't like the heat here."
"It doesn't matter, it will be taken care of soon."
To Freya's surprise, Duan Qing, who did not immediately nod in agreement, smiled and stretched his arm to the side. A magic circle that was previously prepared under his feet also bloomed with several purple rays from the activated power.
Lines finally vaguely outline a three-dimensional image of the Eye of the Void above the dark wall: "...Okay, can you see it now?"
"..."
"Why, you can't control it? Is it because the distance is too far and the signal is not stable? Or is it because the earth veins here have not been fully activated?"
"..."
"Yes, yes, I know, I know."
Not knowing who he was talking to, Duan Qing, who was pressing his ears, drooped his eyelids under the gazes of Freya and Phoenix Tianwang: "I'm working hard, you know how difficult it is to activate the elemental spring, let alone
The stadium on the other side is still hanging me, and those who are not powerful teammates can't make me worry about ... What? Do n’t you do n’t do it, do n’t you shoot it, so it ’s easy to set the rules of our ourselves.
Can you still eat it yourself?"
"You can try to reduce the global output power of the Thousand Eyes Array. The one-way void channel just established here may be more stable." He waved his hand to Phoenix Tianwang, who was still raising his bow to confront him.
Duan Qing lowered his voice with his hand gesture and lowered his voice: "There are more than thirty people deployed here, and there is even a strengthened version of Freya herself. It is said that the 'anchor point' should be stable no matter what.
It’s time to come down—ah?”
"How do I know such a thing?"
Suddenly he raised his head and glanced in the direction of the red-haired magician. Duan Qing's expression became even weirder: "I'm not a person of your level. Let alone gesticulating, I'm not even qualified to be a producer...
What should I do? Do I have to go back and check again? With my current level - okay."
"Tell her yourself."
Duan Qing put down the fingers pressing his ears and showed a helpless smile to Freya. The latter, after a period of confusion, suddenly walked to the corner on the side of the floor: "Aunt Violet...Ville
Lord Lit."
"Okay, what follows is an exchange between two higher-dimensional beings, which has nothing to do with us anymore."
Duan Qing sighed softly and walked forward with a relieved expression on Phoenix Tianwang: "Of course, the result of their communication has something to do with us, that is, the person behind me
Violet Eyes."
"Violet Eye?" With a vigilant expression and a slightly relaxed bow and arrow, the Phoenix Skywatcher looked at the empty eye floating in the air behind Duan Qing and asked, "What is it used for?"
"It has many uses. As a magic apprentice, I don't know exactly what it can do." Duan Qing curled his lips and gestured upward with his thumb: "Now, just treat it as a surveillance camera.
It just exists...Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t worry, this thing can’t emit laser light, and it’s not used to hit you.”
"……Understood."
I don’t know if the situation here and now has begun to be broadcast to players around the world. Phoenix Tianwang wiped his cheeks and sorted out his demeanor and emotions: "After all, this is the main game. If it is not broadcast live, the fairness of the 'challenge' will be compromised."
There is no guarantee.”
"That's right, so I have to get this part done first." Duan Qing turned his thumbs up in front of the other party: "Of course, there shouldn't be any problem with the audio. At most, the signal is just a little bit worse. Blossoms of Flowers will
Help us smooth things over."
"Although I still have many questions to ask, but... can we start?" Maintaining a posture ready to start fighting at any time, Phoenix Tianwang smiled and tilted his head to the side: "That's it.
place?"
"We have been exploring here for more than half a day. According to my judgment, there should be no place more suitable for sparring than here." Duan Qing smiled and nodded his head: "Of course, for our next adventure
For the sake of this, I still hope that the discussion between us can be kept to a minimum, otherwise it will cause disasters such as collapse or volcanic eruption, which would be very bad."
"...Don't be so confident."
Moving to close the distance between them, Phoenix Tianwang's expression gradually became serious and sharp while breathing the scorching air: "You may not have any further adventures, because I will send you back to the resurrection point."
"makes sense."
Duan Qing looked slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Then let's cheer each other up."
"snort."
The strength of the challenger who arrived here was ready to go, and the fully prepared special effects began to gather on his arms with a slight glow. The concentrated archer then looked at Duan Qing's body.
Side, as if reminding the gray-robed magician to make one more guarantee: "...Ah, are you worried about Ninglan? Don't worry, she is just a witness to this game, she will not take action."
"Of course, Freya herself is the same - by the way, I have to explain it to her first." Ignoring the tense atmosphere under the heat, the gray-robed magician moved toward the great magician who had retreated to the corner.
shouted in the direction: "Please don't worry, what will happen next is a friendly discussion between our adventurers, because we often solve problems in this way, so the rules and magic protection are also
Already prepared."
"If someone really loses his life, please don't worry about it."
After saying these last words, the smile on Duan Qing's face, who turned around, gradually gained a bit of confidence and strength, and his silent aura began to follow the two people's official tense situation, in the dim space illuminated by red light.
The middle four dispersed: "Because the resistance aura level is not enough, so our health volume is not very full... Do we need to make up for it? No? Okay."
"Then—begin."
In the major taverns in various cities in the free world, the originally heated and noisy atmosphere was instantly suppressed by the sudden reappearance of the picture fluctuations. The dim overlooking perspective "seen" by the violet eyes then also separated the gray-robed man and the other.
The battle between the archers was completely transmitted at such a subtle and appropriate timing - in the distortion of light caused by the terrifying high temperature, Duan Qing, who announced the start, quickly passed through two sharp arrows on his forehead, and was struck by
The illusion of the human body shattered by the powerful wind of the sharp arrow was then scattered into fragments of light and shadow all over the sky in Phoenix Tianwang's enlightened reaction. Only the trail of the green wind after the wind acceleration magic was activated still remained among the afterimages that could not be captured at all.
Years of hunting intuition guided the experienced hunter to immediately aim the arrow he had set up at the side and rear. The figure that was coming towards him also deflected a little at the next moment, and the gray-robed magician with the sound of air-piercing wind all over his body also accelerated.
With the assistance of casting spells, two rock thorns were sent in front of the opponent. The hunter's high concentration drove him to make a rolling movement, and then the sharp rock blade barely missed his scalp.
He had made thousands of arrow-up movements but was not able to fully realize this roll, because a vine that rose from the ground at an unknown time wrapped around one of his wrists: "What——"
The vines quickly burned to ashes under the influence of high temperature, but half a second of delay was enough to create a fatal flaw. Phoenix Tianwang, who also understood this very well, simply gave up the bow and arrow in his hand, and then reached for the spear behind his back.
The right elbow of his right arm was knocked away by the fist of the rock that was very close at hand: "Is this really unreal? All weapons can be interrupted."
“Thank you for your patronage.”
When did the other party approach, and why did he, as a magician, approach him? While these thoughts and judgments flashed rapidly through his mind, Phoenix Tianwang felt as if his chest was being grabbed and thrown, and his ears were touched.
The last few words that came out were quickly replaced by burning pain.
"see you next time."
