Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi deliberately stayed for half a day before starting to move up the mountain.
The two of them should be the first ones to discover that prisoners have entered Tianshou Mountain. Presumably, a large number of people will be eliminated in this eighth realm, and they may even encounter some extremely vicious gangsters. Many members of the younger generation are in their hands.
Lose your life.
"What should we do now? Could it be that the success or failure of this invasion will be determined by the number of prisoners killed?" Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu.
"Let's go up first. Something should have happened in half a day." 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 to move up the mountain along the mountain road. The setting sun shone slantly, stretching the shadow of the entire Dongshan mountain very long, making it look like a dormant dragon.
When the two of them walked up the ramp, the smell of blood drifted down from a higher place along the mountain breeze.
Chu Mu was very sensitive to the smell of blood. He signaled Ye Qingzi to stop first, and then he controlled the Night Thunder Dream Beast and quickly circled to the high ground from the other direction.
"I can't help but fight. I thought the young people in the Eighth Realm were only so powerful." A rough and arrogant voice laughed.
Chu Mu looked around and quickly found the owner of the voice. This voice was the man who was meditating by the pool. The man looked rough and slovenly, and his beard had not been groomed for a long time.
.
The prisoner's brown eyes looked very murderous. At this time, the rough prisoner was glaring at the two pale young players.
A total of five soul pets of the two young players were killed, and the smell of blood was emanating from these five soul pets.
The other three prisoners together with the rough prisoner each had a powerful soul pet beside them. Obviously, with the cooperation of these four prisoners, they successfully defeated the two young players in the first battle.
"Send a signal and ask the Sai side guards to throw these two out, and each of our punishments can be reduced." The man in a short shirt said with a deep voice.
The man in the short shirt was about thirty years old. Chu Mu could judge the strength of the other three soul pet masters through his soul thoughts, but he could not detect the strength of the man in the short shirt.
Chu Mu is now the Five Thoughts Soul Master, and should be very high in the second rung, and the man in short shirt must have a higher level of Soul Thoughts than Chu Mu.
The four prisoners did not kill the two young players, but sent out a signal to summon the competition's guards here.
The Sai Fang guards are all middle-aged members, and their strength is much higher than that of the prisoners. Therefore, although these four prisoners are not good people, when the two Sai Fang guards received the signal and flew here, they did not dare to
Easy to make mistakes.
"You'd better be honest. If we find out that you've killed someone, you still won't be able to escape the punishment!" Sai Fang's guard in silver armor swept past 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, do we still need to be punished?" said the tall prisoner.
The silver-armored Sai Fang guard raised his lips and said: "Do you think putting you here is really a reduction of your sentence? There must be most people like you who enter here and it is equivalent to being executed. Do your best.
Please prepare yourself mentally, you are not qualified to maintain an equal relationship with the players and us."
"What do you mean by that!" The rude prisoner immediately widened his eyes and looked very angry.
In fact, the words of the guard from the competition side also angered the other three prisoners. After all, if these prisoners have a high chance of dying when they are released here, then there is no need for them to be merciful to the players, because the two sides are completely unequal.
Yes, prisoners cannot kill players, but players can kill prisoners at will.
"You are the props in this competition, don't put yourself so high..." the silver-armored guard said arrogantly.
"Little thing, when your grandfather was running rampant in Tianxia City, you were probably still playing in the mud. In the past, I could have killed you with just a pet!" The rough and arrogant man had the most violent temper. Hearing these unpleasant words
The latter's face immediately turned red, and he pointed at the man in silver armor and said angrily.
"Why, if you want to die, I can help you." The silver-armored guard looked at the prisoner with contempt and said in a cold tone.
"Zhang Tong, don't be impulsive." The man in a short shirt pulled away from him, and at the same time let his soul pet suppress the rude prisoner's soul pet that was about to move.
Most of the four of them's primary pets are dead and sealed, and their secondary pets are definitely no match for these Sai Fang guards. If they take action, they will definitely die.
"You can take care of yourself!" The two Sai Fang guards snorted coldly. They picked up the young people with traumatized souls and took them into the air, flying towards the outside of Tianshou Mountain.
The two Sai Fang guards were both wing-type soul pets, and they flew very fast, rising to high altitudes soon after.
The four prisoners looked at these two extremely arrogant guards with cold eyes. It was not until they left completely that the prisoner named Zhang Tong said angrily: "If I had known, I would have killed those two boys.
Whether it’s to relieve my qi or not, when I, Zhang Tong, was not in prison, no one would have been respectful to me..."
"Don't forget about it. Now we are prisoners. If each of us defeats five players, our punishment will be halved. It is better to be more conservative. After all, even if we kill again, we will still be controlled by the competition in the end, and there is no way to escape.
Get out." The man in short shirt said.
As he spoke, the man in short clothes suddenly frowned, glanced to the side like a sword, and then stared closely at the place where Chu Mu had been staying before.
"What's wrong, Cai Ji?" asked the slightly bloated middle-aged female soul pet master.
"Someone noticed the fluctuation of soul thought last time, but thought it was the soul thought of Sai Fang's guard. Now that Sai Fang's guard has left, this soul thought still exists..." Cai Ji said in a calm voice.
The arrogant Zhang Tong was furious. When he heard that there was someone there, he jumped directly on the back of his beautiful devil tiger and ran towards the direction pointed by Cai Ji!!
The colorful devil tiger has reached the level of a ninth-level low-level monarch, and its strength is also in the ranks of the second-level powerful pets. After the colorful devil tiger suddenly pounced, it roared fiercely!!
This roar carries the spread of sound waves and spreads in all directions, hoping to scare the enemy directly through this roar.
The roar echoed back and forth up and down the ramp. After Zhang Tong drove the colorful demon 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 delusion? There is no one there!" Zhang Tong said angrily.
"Maybe." Cai Ji immediately released his soul thoughts when he noticed any movement, but he didn't notice anything. In addition, Zhang Tong had already made a patrol and confirmed that there could be no other people around.
I can only think that these are all illusions...
"I'm furious now. Let's go straight up there. There must be a lot of itchy things waiting for us. If there's a woman, I don't care whether the punishment is increased or not!" Zhang Tong was obviously a grumpy guy.
After that, he directly drove the colorful demon tiger towards the ramp.
The others didn't think much and drove their soul pets along the slope to start hunting the contestants.
Not long after the four people left, the figures of Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi slowly appeared in the shadows of the rock recess under the slope.
Next to them are the Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Purple Shirt Dream Beast. These prisoners are all members of the middle-aged generation. Their soul pet strength may not be very good, but their insight is very sharp. Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi
The two dream beasts used 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 hiding ability was already very strong, but it was finally discovered by Cai Ji that there was indeed a certain strength gap between the young people and the middle-aged people.
"Well, let them leave for a while, and then we can 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 were to confront each other head-on, it would be a waste to expend their combat power too early. After all, the invasion lasted half a month.
…
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi waited for a while to confirm that those people were already some distance away from them before moving on.
The two of them have not determined their direction yet, so they can only follow the footsteps of the four prisoners and use these four prisoners to help them clear the way.
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 players again?" Chu Mu said with some surprise. The strength of these prisoners was really not weak, and they had eliminated several younger players in such a short period of time.
This time, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were both 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 of the plank road to see the source of the bloody smell.
"Each of them has to defeat 5 players to get their sentence reduced by half. If there are four of them, they will have to defeat 20 young players in total. When the World Finals reaches the eighth level, they are already at a higher level in the strength pyramid.
Position, there are only about 20 players in the Soul Palace in Tianshou Mountain. This means that if all four prisoners have their sentences reduced, there is a high probability that they will meet the strongest player from a big force... and the strongest player
Most of them still have team members. In fact, it will be difficult for them to cope with the top three of a certain force. Calculated from this, the probability of their punishment being halved is very, very low." Ye Qingzi whispered to Chu Mu.
said.
"Well, they are definitely not the only group of prisoners. If there are many groups of prisoners competing and they all beat the weaker members like a snatch, then there will always be many prisoners who have to face stronger members in order to reduce their sentences.
players, I think the World Competition should have already calculated it long ago. The strength of each player cannot be predicted by the World Competition, but they can roughly assess the average strength of all players in the eighth realm through the data of previous years, and then
Based on this kind of data, a certain number of prisoners are released, and the number of prisoners released must be such that most of the contestants are eliminated, and at the same time, most of the prisoners must be defeated or killed..." Chu Mu said, and thought of something after he finished speaking.
added,
"The battle in the eighth realm will be fierce, because if the number of prisoners and the number of players form a very contradictory ratio, it will be necessary to fight to the death to stabilize both sides..."
What Chu Mu said made Ye Qingzi think about it. Soon, a smile suddenly broke out on her face, and she looked at Chu Mu with her beautiful and charming eyes.
When Chu Mu saw Ye Qingzi smiling at him, and her smile was beautiful and at the same time gave people a sense of wisdom, his mind was slightly swayed, and he subconsciously took hold of Ye Qingzi's white and tender palm and moved her towards her.
Pull yourself closer.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qingzi was a little nervous and stared at Chu Mu with her beautiful eyes.
Now Chu Mu is becoming more and more dishonest and will do something to him whenever he gets the chance.
"Hehe." Chu Mu smiled. His intention was already obvious, so he didn't need to explain, right?
"Be serious, I want to talk to you about business." Ye Qingzi said seriously.
"You tell me, I'll listen." Chu Mu also said seriously. Of course, he didn't let go of his hand. Ye Qingzi's palm was thin and smooth, white and tender, and it looked like a piece of nephrite...
"You just said that the numbers of both 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, and there is a chance of fighting.
It will be very big. The 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 the players, they will not provoke overly strong players. 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 prisoners, then this group of players will succeed..." Ye Qingzi said with a slight blush.
"Well, that makes sense. The prisoner's sentence can be reduced every time five people are eliminated. So if the competition can control the number of prisoners, it can also ensure the number of contestants who successfully break through." After listening to Ye Qingzi's analysis, Chu Mu finally felt it.
I understand Sai Fang’s purpose!
"I don't know which senior executive of the competition came up with the idea..." Ye Qingzi said.
"It is indeed very clever. Maybe many players will not understand how to succeed in the game in the end." Chu Mu said.
"Eh~~~~~~~~~"
When Chu Mu was secretly admiring Sai Fang for coming up with such a special way to break through, the Night Thunder Dream Beast had already returned.
"How is the situation?" Chu Mu asked.
"Eh~~~~~~~" The Night Thunder Dream Beast told Chu Mu what it saw through its soul thought.
However, after hearing this, Chu Mu's expression changed!
Before, Chu Mu always thought that the four prisoners had eliminated some contestants again, but in fact this time, three of the four prisoners were killed, and only Cai Ji survived!!
