In the blink of an eye, the day of the competition came again, and the Halsus team set off again to Xiyuan City.
Xiyuan City is located in the desert area in the west of Qianyuan Continent, with a dry climate and little rain. The highest temperature during the day can reach 60 degrees, and at night, it will drop to more than ten degrees below zero, with a huge temperature difference.
This kind of climate and environment is not suitable for human survival, but there is a rare spice in the Roye Desert, which is the main raw material for making the best perfume.
This top-quality perfume is rich and fragrant, has the effect of relieving depression, and is loved by nobles. Therefore, its price is higher than that of heaven-level potions.
This spice is actually the excrement of a long-extinct desert creature, which was buried in the sand and formed after thousands of years of high-temperature fermentation.
People die for money, and birds die for food. Although the Ruoye Desert has a harsh environment and is full of dangers, countless people come to the desert to try their luck in order to obtain expensive and rare spices and become rich overnight.
More and more people were digging for spices, and the scattered tents turned into gathering camps, and then slowly formed towns. This was the prototype of Xiyuan City.
There was a traveling merchant who made his fortune selling rare spices and became the first Lord of Xiyuan City.
The city owner felt that the Ruoye Desert had made him successful and was his treasure land of Feng Shui. Therefore, he wanted to support Xiyuan City in return, so he spent huge sums of money to hire thousands of talisman masters to build a talisman dome for the entire city.
With the shelter of the dome, desert storms and scorching sun and severe cold are no longer a problem, and more and more people come to settle in Xiyuan City. Xiyuan City has also become the largest human settlement in the Ruoye Desert.
This game is still teleported from the city's viewing square into the desert.
Compared with the grand white square in Tianyi City, the city square in Xiyuan City has many more regional characteristics.
The ground of the square is paved with igneous rocks unique to desert areas, and the golden runes flicker on the red floor tiles, which is particularly eye-catching.
The boxes in the square stand look like desert tents from the outside. When the curtains are lowered, they are in private mode. People in the boxes can still see outside.
Delegations from each school and the four major military groups occupied the first and second floors of the stands as always.
In order to test the survival skills of the contestants, this competition added a space button inspection link.
In addition to players' weapons, wound medicine, formation and refining equipment, etc., each person can only carry 500 ml of drinking water and three nutrient supplements. Even the number of energy stones is strictly limited, with no more than six intermediate-level stones per person.
.
The medicinal materials used by healers must also be strictly inspected and must not contain plants that can be used as food.
The four participating teams passed through the inspection gate in turn. High-level runes were engraved on the gate. If the contestants carried more than the prescribed items, the red light on the gate would flash continuously and a harsh alarm would sound.
Fortunately, everyone, including Li Xing, took no chances and obeyed the requirements of the competition, so the light was green all the way.
Arriving at the stadium in the city, four teams occupied four directions: east, west, north, and south, waiting for the teleportation to begin.
Cui Tianxiao looked around the stands and found that there were many locals from Xiyuan City, wearing long robes and turbans, with only one pair of eyes exposed. He couldn't help but feel strange.
"Isn't it hot if you cover it so tightly?"
Even with the rune-patterned dome, the temperature in Xiyuan City was much higher than that in Halsus. Cui Tianxiao was already sweating after standing there for just a while.
Ye Qingting whispered: "You laugh at people because they wear too much, but they think you know less. Those people wear the traditional clothing of the Greek Yuan Dynasty, Kufei, which is made of Ruoyeqi silk. It is strong and durable, cool in the day and warm at night, and is more beautiful than the Qing Dynasty.
The warm rune pattern is much easier to use. Every piece of Kufei is a priceless treasure. One piece is passed down to three generations, and the clothes are still there. Without any identity, I can't afford to wear them."
Qi Ming suddenly had an idea. "Brother Ye, do you think the Desert Boat team uniforms were also made by Ruo Yeqisi?"
Cui Tianxiao also understood Qi Ming's worries: "Damn! If that's really the case, we will suffer a big loss!"
The desert climate is harsh, and even Yuanling warriors need to wear combat uniforms painted with temperature-regulating runes to regulate their body temperature.
The operation of the temperature-regulating runes requires the consumption of energy stones. Once the energy stones are used up, the temperature-regulating runes will be ineffective. In mild cases, the temperature-regulating runes will cause fainting due to heat stroke, or in severe cases, the Yuanling Shackles will lose their combat effectiveness. Therefore, the temperature-regulating runes are not as good as Ruoyeqisi.
The clothes made are long-lasting and energy-saving.
Ye Qingting touched his belt. The buckle was inlaid with energy stones that powered the temperature-regulating runes, and shook his head:
"No. Ruoyeqisi disappeared many years ago. No matter how rich Xiyuan College is, it will not use Ruoyeqisi to make training uniforms for students. But don't be complacent. In terms of heat resistance and
With desert survival skills, the local team has a natural advantage.”
Ye Qingting was right. The members of the other three teams were steamed by the high temperature, and their faces were all oily. Only the four members of the Desert Boat looked calm and composed, as if they had worn frosted filters.
Live broadcast——
The host's high-pitched and excited voice sounded:
"Viewers, this is the First Television Station of the Federation, broadcasting the second game of the 208th Military Academy Competition live for you! For the commentary of this game, we still invite Master Zou Huali and Master Lin Zhi'an to serve as special commentators.
Guest!"
The camera cut to Zou Huali, who was expressionless as always, while Lin Zhi'an bowed slightly to the camera gracefully.
There are more love posts in the barrage than in the first game.
"The person who serves as the referee for this competition is Great Elder Chu Baili!"
The camera showed Chu Baili, who was different from Chen Luxi’s masterful demeanor. Chu Baili had an easy-going personality and gave people the impression of being the uncle next door. He smiled and waved to the camera. The applause and cheers at the scene were deafening, and you could tell
Elder Chu has a good mass base.
Moderator: "This competition will take place in the Ruoye Desert. Each team will enter the venue according to their ranking in the previous competition. The first team to get the competition flag on the island in the center of Yaochi Lake wins."
The TV screen changed from the live broadcast to a bird's-eye view of the Ruoye Desert. The camera zoomed in, and a blue lake in the center of the desert appeared in front of the audience.
The camera continued to zoom in, and the four competition flags with the college emblem on the island in the center of the lake were clearly displayed in front of the audience.
"This game has an interesting aspect, which is the random teleportation array!"
"In the Ruoye Desert, there are many short-distance random teleportation arrays set up. There is a teleportation connection between the players in each team. If one person touches the array, all of them will be teleported."
"In other words, the results of the previous game determine the entry order of this game, but it has little impact on the final victory."
In the live broadcast room, the discussion among netizens was extremely intense.
//Family members, who understands? What does the new rule mean? Can any master translate it?//
//It means that this is a game of luck. If you are lucky, the last person to enter will be teleported directly from the center of the desert to the island in the middle of the lake. If you are not lucky, you will fight all the way to the island in the middle of the lake, and you will be able to
Teleport away!//
//Damn! You made me laugh! We co-authored the results of our Halsus Dream Team in the last game for nothing?//
//What's the use of talking about this? Our Tianyi team has been busy in vain? Everyone, we worked hard to win the first place. You tell me that the results have little impact on the final victory? Mom, I really know how to thank you!
//
//Is this horse riding a new rule or an unspoken rule? Some smart person came up with it, tell me, I want to take the brothers to thank you.//
//You still have to ask, whoever the rules are most beneficial to is the one who researched them!//
//So it’s Hanyan Pavilion?//
//You idiot, Hanyan Pavilion is not the host and is not qualified to participate in the formulation of rules, but they still benefit from it.//
Fans of Xiyuan Academy, keep your mouth shut. It is better to keep your mouth shut at this time, otherwise you will definitely become the target of ridicule.
