"Okay ladies and gentlemen, the knockout rounds of our new round of UEFA Cup qualifiers are about to officially begin! This time is different from the previous games, because... today we are going to have a new round of knockout matches!"
"Four new teams will leave our arena today!"
Amidst the excited shouts from the commentators once again rang out in the center of the vast seaside arena, the new round of UEFA Cup qualifiers finally got underway on the morning of August 17, 2015. This time the competition
There was no delay due to various reasons, and the first game of the new round of double-elimination competition was only one day away. Because the number of professional teams participating in the game gradually decreased.
As the quality gradually increased, the excitement of this competition began to become higher and higher. However, until the battle was about to start at ten o'clock in the morning, the audience sitting in the arena's spectator seats seemed to
Not as many as league officials expected.
"Cough cough, cough cough... I know there is a big situation in the game world right now."
I also understand the reason for this situation, and the voice in charge of the commentary also revealed a bit of embarrassment: "If possible, I would also like to participate in this grand event."
"Yes, that is the legendary city in the sky. No one wants to miss this opportunity easily."
"Except for the teams that need to decide the outcome today, there seem to be few remaining professional teams and clubs still here. It seems that they, like the ordinary players, have placed their hopes in that city in the sky.
I have great expectations..."
"Then let's get started quickly! We have been looking forward to the winner of this qualifying round for a long time! You know, the alliance has prepared up to one million for the winner of this competition... Huh?"
"Bi, hasn't the game started yet? Why are there so few people in the Zhushan team?"
Following the appearance of the commentary voice, the audience present also turned their attention to the two participating teams that were already reflected in the center of the arena. However, they were different from the teams on the other side that were preparing to go. At this time,
Several players in the dark horse team seemed to have anxious expressions on their faces. The bad boy from Jiecheng, who had proven himself in the previous game, now looked like he was sweating. He had been waiting here for a long time.
Xiao Hongchen seemed to have lost his usual careless smile, and Qian Zhihe, one of the strong members of the team, simply didn’t even show up: "You, you guys..."
"What happen to you guys?"
In the scene where countless eyes gathered together, Black Corn standing aside with his arms folded said what he wanted to ask for a hesitating voice, and his eyes that kept looking back and forth also ignored the other two.
The unusual-looking teammate fell on Mengzhu, who had an unnatural look on his face: "Are you sick? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no...no."
Shaking her hands, the little girl who couldn't lie hurriedly lowered her head, and then after a period of awkward silence, she hesitated and said again: "It's just... I'm a little nervous...
…”
"Nervous? Ha." Black Corn let out a disdainful sneer: "Isn't it just your former good friend and the second most powerful alliance guild? There is nothing to be afraid of. Since they are willing to deliberately lose and come to beat us, then
Let them see our ability and courage!"
"Hmm, um..." The little girl nodded stiffly: "Say, you're right, say, you're right...yes, hahahahaha..."
"...Are you not feeling well?"
A suspicious look passed over his captain. Black Corn, who had put away his arms, then focused on the other two teammates: "And you two... where is Xiaoqian? Where did she go?
"
"Something happened at Qianzhihe's family. He should be...in the hospital right now." He was answered by a calm face belonging to the bad boy from Jie City: "She didn't say anything specific..."
"...Well, after we lost a reliable shield warrior, we also lost a reliable magician." So Black Corn spread his hands: "This road to winning the championship seems to be very difficult.
What’s difficult...are you right, Xiao Hongchen?”
"Boss it's okay, boss it's okay..."
"...Hey, hey!"
"Ah! Ah? You, what did you just say?"
"...So is there something wrong with you people?" Rolling his eyes, Black Corn withdrew his helpless gaze from Xiao Hongchen's sweaty look: "Is it because you didn't eat this morning?
Come over to compete, huh?"
"..."
"As long as you can settle my account, I don't mind if we just go up and throw it in, right?"
Looking at the embarrassing scene where no one answered, Black Corn retracted his half-joking gaze: "Nervousness and everything are just excuses, right? Did that guy from Free Flying threaten you with a bad end in the future, or did Meiyu give you money?"
"..."
"Forget it, I don't want to know."
Recalling the expression of the man he had met last night when he appeared in the private server, Black Corn withdrew his questioning expression: "I thought that the shady stories exposed every day in the forum were just rumors and sensationalism.
Thinking that I really bumped into you today..."
"Let's wait here." He folded his arms and leaned back against the wall of the preparation room again, while gradually covering up the gloomy expression on his face: "Mo Shang Qingshan didn't come anyway..."
"In a short time, we should be directly defeated due to insufficient numbers."
The commotion from around the spectator seats began to get louder and louder as time went by. It seemed that the spectators who were watching the match also noticed something strange coming from the Zhushan team, and the low voices of discussion also followed them.
Staring at the changes in the scene in the preparation room, it gradually spread to the ears of the professional players who were still sitting here watching the game. Duan Fenglei, who belonged to Jianghu, then sneered a few times, and then led his subordinates to show disdain as well.
The figure left this place, but among the people in Wizard who were also sitting on the other side of the auditorium, Luo Riguyan's questioning voice rang out: "This guy... he won't give up the game, right? Just for
That city in the sky? Is this still the king who once regarded the arena as a sacred place? Labor and management look down on him!"
"..."
"Didn't you contact that guy yesterday? What did he say in the end?"
"...I finally...didn't get in touch."
"What?"
"Not only him, I have not been able to contact the other members of the Fool's Adventure Group."
Answering the other party's words in a low voice, Fusheng Limeng, who was sitting on one side, frowned and looked at the faces of everyone in the preparation room on that side: "There must be something wrong... in the middle."
"……how do you know?"
"I have slightly more public opinion information than you, so I have heard a lot of rumors recently."
Withdrawing his gaze, Fu Sheng Ling Meng pointed at the top of the arena where they were sitting: "Although I don't know if it has anything to do with the situation that occurred today, but those signs are usually someone who wants to use public opinion to spread rumors.
Come and attack other people's tactics. After these rumors spread in two days, someone will probably start to take the next step..."
"Although we still don't know who wants to take action, but according to the content of those rumors, the target they want to target this time is very clear." His voice gradually became gloomy: "Because what they want to disclose is
three years ago……"
Wow——
Loud cheers from the audience suddenly appeared in the sky above the arena. It was the audience who were still sitting here suddenly shouting in unison because of the start of the game. The loser's group knockout match before them was not because of this.
The absence of the Zhushan team ended here, but the lush forest between the vast mountains and rivers was still used as the stage for the start of the game. The image of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, which had been closing its eyes to rest, was still covered in silver light, was later shown in the Distance Fool's Adventure.
Next to a big tree not far from the group, he slowly opened his silent eyes, which had been waiting in the waiting room for a thousand years. Those eyes were so persistent that they were almost terrifying, and then he looked among the four people in front of him.
After a quick inspection, he stepped out of the area where his team was: "...where is he?"
"..."
"Where are the others?"
The trunk of the big tree swayed a bit with the emergence of a strong aura, and at the same time, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes gradually wrapped around her: "Does he... really dare to give up the game?"
"...Please calm down, young lady, although this is true, we don't know where that guy is now."
Helplessly, he looked around at the swaying figure of Mengzhu beside him who still dared not speak. Black Corn, who answered aloud, finally chose to stand up against the other party's terrifying pressure: "If you are very interested in him.
, how about you help us find him?"
"……hateful!"
The awe-inspiring sword energy pierced the air here accompanied by the strong ice wind. In an instant, countless frightened birds and leaves flew through most of the forest, and Heilongjiang was defeated before the victory conditions prompted by the system appeared.
The snow spirit fantasy ice that was cut in half then screamed like a wild beast, and the expression facing the sky was full of uncontrollable anger and distortion: "You lied to me again, Mo Shang Qingshan! You once again
——”
"You can't run away!"
A crisp system prompt then appeared in the already chaotic competition scene. At the same time, Xue Ling Huan Bing suddenly appeared in the arena. Her face was ashen and she immediately ignored the players around her.
With exclamations and calls from his guild teammates, he rushed towards the offline area outside the arena. The character data that maintained this image was then quickly converted between servers, named Xue Ling.
Huan Bing's character then appeared in a private house in Zaraha City in the free world. Ignoring the exclamations from the surrounding Wings of Freedom players, she immediately broke through the defenders' defense line with a shocking momentum.
Arriving at the foot of the pillar of light: "Melius! Melius! Come out!"
"I'm going up now! Now!"
Sounds like the screams of a banshee continued to echo throughout the city that was still trapped in the quagmire of war. The enemy and our players who were already moving forward for the central beam of light were restrained for a moment. They could only keep fighting.
The guild forces in the world of underground passages were not affected in any way by this. Waving the crystal ball and sending out the last ice blue ray, Nifeng Youran, who was responsible for leading the Weizard team, also broke through the underground battlefield.
The last area, and then led his few remaining men to the central hall that Duan Qing had arrived before: "Sure enough..."
"This is the place."
Magical energy still full of golden aura continued to roll in the scene of this rotunda. He strode to the circular magic array, and then after a period of slight study, he grinned with a proud smile.
: "If we can connect those magic sequences with this device..."
"The teleportation array leading to the Sky City should be open, right?"
Stretching out his right hand, he focused his magic energy on the golden runes in front of him, and then after a period of traction, he slowly found the green threads extending upwards in the induction. It was enough.
The dazzling light then spread throughout the hall as he stepped into the magic circle, teleporting Nifeng Leisure's body to a certain room in the Sky City. When he opened his eyes, he felt the constant ringing sound.
Hearing the strong wind in his ears, he couldn't help but cheer in his heart: "Did it succeed?"
"Hahahaha, I finally caught up with you!"
Ignoring the decorations and glyphs of different styles around him, he reached out and pushed open the door next to him. Then, in the scene of magic gleaming around him, he saw the long-awaited cloud city in front of his eyes.
.The central square that had appeared in the UEFA Cup match then vaguely appeared at the end of the street behind him. At the same time, there was a huge ice block that froze the giant machine inside, and the excitement in his heart was poured out.
After being extinguished for a while, he then slowly approached the ice cube and felt the powerful magical power contained in it with his hands touching it: "Sure enough..."
"Sure enough, someone showed up."
A melodious voice then rose above his head, located on the top of the huge city wall directly in front of the square: "Although I didn't expect... you were the first one to come here."
"...Moshang Qingshan."
Withdrawing his hands, he looked up leisurely against the wind and looked up at the figure sitting on the top of the hall: "How did you get up there?"
"This question... there is no need to answer it now."
Facing the high-altitude gale that filled the sky, Duan Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, touched the blood-red sword in front of his knees with his fingertips, and then raised his head. His deep eyes were like an ancient man who had been guarding this place for thousands of years.
Swordsman: "Because..."
"This place is now off-limits. You...go back." (To be continued)
