Chapter 150: Hidden Mysteries on the High Platform of the Battlefield
"Let us face the first ray of light today and show everyone the treasure we are competing for in this treasure hunt competition, the dragon egg!"
As the commentary continued, the sun peeked out from behind the mountains in the distance, its golden rays shining through the cold winter sky onto the battlefield.
At the same time, the red silk cloth on the top of the high platform was broken into two halves and fluttered down.
For a moment, the entire Lone Ao Arena was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the high platform.
It was not a box, but a square golden-red copper frame.
In the middle of the copper frame, there is a thick snow-white velvet blanket. Above the velvet blanket, a head-sized dragon egg is tightly held by the copper legs and stands there quietly.
The golden rays of light shone down, and the scale patterns on the light cyan eggshell glowed with dazzling silver light, like dazzling meteors, eclipsing the entire arena.
After a moment of silence, discussions broke out in the stands, buzzing like a plague of locusts sweeping across the place, and everyone was talking about dragon eggs.
In front of Zheng Qiu, the gladiators from the Liesha Group also praised him repeatedly.
"It's so beautiful. This is what a treasure should look like."
"It is indeed the egg of a strange beast, it is really, really..."
"If you don't read books, you can't even describe it. This kind of radiant treasure is the real thing at first glance."
Qing Youcai made a serious face and quickly stopped everyone's discussion and exchanges, "Shut up, everyone, the sun has come out, the competition is about to start. I think the dragon eggs are pretty, and I will have plenty of time to watch them after I grab them!"
Hearing this, everyone put away their thoughts and focused on the competition. Eight gladiators practicing Qi Jin skills stood at the eye of the formation in advance to run their skills, ready to start the "Umbrella Covering the Sky Formation" at any time.
"The exciting moment has arrived. With the morning light, the treasure hunting competition officially begins!"
Bang, bang, two clouds of white smoke exploded from the top of the arena, entwining and intertwining in the air, forming a huge word "GO".
Qing Youcai glanced at the sky and immediately shouted, "Start the formation."
The eight gladiators mobilized their energy at the same time, forming the formation according to the "Luo Umbrella Formation" to gather their energy into the center.
Then the eight people chanted the mantra, and the energy gathered in the center rose up in a spiral, spreading flat to a place three feet above the head, forming a translucent variegated air umbrella.
Qing Youcai quickly put on the armor on his body, one piece, two pieces, and three pieces. Then he put a big sword on his back, a short sword across his waist, and picked up the most convenient double-edged axe.
He greeted, "The two people from Qi Hua Realm are following me. Let's explore the reality first."
After that, he climbed over the shield wall first, and the other two Qi Hua Realm gladiators immediately put on multiple layers of armor and followed closely.
Zheng Qiu saw two Qi Hua realm gladiators, both of whom had gray hair. They seemed to be about the same age as Qing Youcai and should have quite a lot of fighting experience.
He looked in other directions on the battlefield. Each gladiator group was very cautious. They each nested in the newly established positions and only sent out a few scattered people to test.
Qing Youcai and the other two gladiators, side by side, back to back, moved towards the high platform bit by bit.
He reminded in a low voice, "Calm down. Even if someone wants to climb to the high platform, don't attack first. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. We have to be the oriole."
The two gladiators from the Corona Group in the south moved very fast and quickly approached the high platform, seemingly wanting to strike first.
The gladiators of the Sun Corona Regiment came within five feet of the high platform. The leader suddenly threw up his spear and jumped into the air at the same time.
Want to fly by light?
How could other members of the gladiatorial group agree? An arrow with a halo flew from a distance and shot straight at the jumping gladiators of the Corona Group.
At that moment, the second Corona Gladiator immediately rushed forward and raised his shield to block the arrow. The energy attached to the shield and the arrow collided with each other, blowing away the fierce airflow.
The first gladiator of the Corona Corps jumped up and quickly stepped on the handle of the spear. His body and the spear simultaneously flashed a halo of energy and flew to the top of the high platform.
But when he flew within ten feet of the high platform, the golden patterns on the high platform suddenly flickered, and air ripples visible to the naked eye spread from the platform.
The Gladiator of the Corona Corps was caught by the ripples, and instantly felt the energy in his body stagnate. The halo on his spear immediately dissipated, and he fell from the air dancing with joy.
Seeing this scene, everyone stopped approaching and moved their gaze from the Gladiators of the Corona Corps to the high platform.
Qing Youcai frowned, "There is a forbidden air formation on this platform, so you can't fly up to grab the dragon eggs."
The gladiator of the Corona Corps got up from the ground, wiped the yellow sand from his hair, and looked around.
Seeing that the other members of the gladiatorial group did not come over, he shouldered his spear and climbed up the platform using his hands and feet.
But before I climbed a few feet, my hands and feet lost friction and slowly slid back to where they were.
He did not give up and continued to climb up, once and twice, but the result remained unchanged. The slippery platform was impossible to climb up.
Qing Youcai cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, I know what the craftsman was applying last night, it was oil."
The gladiator beside him pointed to the high platform and reminded, "Old man Qing, that man has found a way."
Qing Youcai immediately turned his gaze over and saw the man from the Sun Crown Group forcefully thrust the spear in his hand into the gap in the iron plate of the high platform, grabbing the handle of the spear and climbing up one foot at a time.
After everyone watched for a while, a gladiator group on the northwest side couldn't bear it any longer. They rushed to the high platform waving their weapons and got into a ping-pong-pong fight with the Sun Corona group.
The fight spread quickly like sparks falling into a haystack. Various gladiator groups joined the fighting circle one after another, and people kept trying to take advantage of the chaos to climb onto the high platform.
Qing Youcai knocked the double-edged ax in his hand and shouted loudly, "The battle has begun, let's go!"
He took the lead, rushed towards the fighting crowd, raised his ax high and performed his special skill "Ten Thousand Mountains Collapsing Top!"
Boom, a gladiator who hastily accepted the attack was sent flying. The people nearby seemed to have been prepared, and without saying a word, they launched an offensive to attack Qing Youcai.
"The people of the Bloodthirsty Crescent Regiment temporarily forced their opponents back and got a chance to breathe in the melee.
Oh! The Tiger Roar Group is in trouble. They were dispersed and are now under siege. The situation is extremely urgent.
The gladiators of the Corona Regiment have been injured. They are trying hard to break out and withdraw to their own positions. Can they succeed?"
The female commentator spoke very fast, crackling like firecrackers. The chaotic battle situation made it impossible for her to pay attention to every gladiator, and she could only select the important content to talk about.
The shouts in the stands did not get louder, but became quieter and quieter. The audience stared at the battlefield with wide eyes, fearing that they would miss the wonderful scene.
The first people in each gladiatorial group to test are all above the Qi Condensation realm.
Colorful flames rise and collide, air waves and blowing sand roll up. It seems like fireworks are being set off in the middle of the battlefield, dazzling everyone.
A ray of light was avoided and flew towards the high platform.
