Chapter 61 Points Rules
"Not bad." Tang Jinye continued with a smile.
"The material of this sculpture is different from the previous one. It's not as hard." Qin Zhiyu said as he knocked on the sculpture with his sword.
"Maybe the difficulty lies more in the muddy swamp below!" Wu Chufu also felt the material, and the knocking sound was indeed crisper.
"It's hard to say, but it will take some effort." Tang Jinye said.
"These toads are slowly sinking into the swamp. We need to speed up." Qin Zhiyu said.
"Yeah." Song Yu'an said concisely.
Now that they had reached an agreement, the four of them looked at the smooth and seamless sculpture in front of them and exerted their strength towards the same place.
It's difficult to use without cracks, but this one is not as sculpted as the previous one and is not as hard, so it will be very effective when attacked.
In half a quarter of an hour, they peeled off the sculpture.
When the sunlight shines in, you can see the rotating machinery inside.
Whether or not the sculpture is destroyed, the swamp outside will actually continue to operate, and victory can only be achieved by completely dismantling its gears.
The next things were much simpler. After destroying the sculpture, seeing that the team was firmly in first place in points and ranking, Qin Zhiyu and his group went to look for the sculpture of the toad with satisfaction.
"We got ten extra points for destroying the first sculpture, and we got another twenty for the second one," Wu Chufu asked, puzzled. "Is there a limit to the number of points you can get for destroying sculptures?"
"Something's wrong. I saw that after we killed four people from the opposing team, our score increased by ten points." Song Yu'an explained.
"Can I earn points by killing people, or will I inherit the points they get for destroying the sculptures?" Wu Chufu thought about it and realized that it should be one of these two reasons.
"It should be the latter. The original purpose of this space is to encourage people to destroy sculptures." Qin Zhiyu also observed the changes in points and said.
"We're currently ranked first with 30 points, and Qiao Yi is in second with 20 points. We need to speed up," Tang Jinye said, gulping down another bottle of water. "Do you feel the sunlight getting colder?"
"It's low, but only a little bit. It's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. It's still terribly hot." Song Yu'an still disliked the temperature.
"Xiao Song, your acting was pretty good just now."
Qin Zhiyu didn't realize that Song Yu'an, who was usually sharp-tongued and concise, had really good acting skills at critical moments.
"It's just a true portrayal of myself, not worth mentioning." Song Yu'an said seriously, making the whole team laugh.
"What a true-to-life performance!" Tang Jinye praised.
"By the way, does anyone of you know this Qiao Yi?" Qin Zhiyu said.
"I don't know him."
"same."
"I don't know him either."
The other three spoke.
"Who cares? We'll definitely be number one. If that's not possible..." Song Yu'an said with a fierce smile. "Then we'll just have to deal with it!"
"It depends on the situation." Qin Zhiyu pursed her lips and said. No one in the team had any objection, and she did not object to this method either.
"The sculpture in front is the one where the toad is." Wu Chufu said affirmatively.
At this time, the other people also saw a large number of toads gathered next to the sculpture, and they realized that this was the place.
The group of toads in the innermost circle of the sculpture are obviously larger than those outside.
There were not many toads left outside, as they were all attracted to the swamp by the yellow powder on the ground. All the scattered toads along the way were killed.
This sculpture is rare and only has the small bosses in the inner circle.
"Go!" Song Yu'an couldn't wait to destroy the sculpture to gain points and make the weather cooler.
"One area for each of the four directions: east, south, west and north." Qin Zhiyu arranged.
"Ten minutes!" Tang Jinye said firmly.
Since they had fought against toads many times before, even though the small bosses in the middle were more difficult, they would not be stumped.
One person was responsible for several toads and easily solved the problem. He also dismantled the sculpture. Of course, the core still belonged to Qin Zhiyu.
About 50 meters away from this sculpture, you can see several corpses and a broken sculpture in the distance.
There were dead ants scattered all over the ground nearby.
"The medicine powder of the dwarfs is really good stuff. This is their masterpiece." Song Yu'an said as he looked at the battlefield that no one had cleaned and the medicine powder scattered all over it.
"Indeed, it's a pity that the last of the medicine powder was used on us." Wu Chufu shook his head, feeling very sorry.
The entire sculpture opposite was in a state of disrepair, and the mechanical gear core inside was most likely destroyed. Qin Zhiyu was too lazy to go over and take a look.
"Let's rest here for a while and eat something before we leave." Qin Zhiyu said as he took out four small stools and a table.
Her physical strength has also dropped by 1/3 and has not yet recovered. I believe that other people in the team are in a similar state. If their physical strength drops further, it will affect their combat status.
She was not afraid at all that if she took out so many things, the other people in the team would covet the size of the storage device.
Although we have never cooperated before, after this period of running-in, I can feel that these people in the team are not stupid.
And she wasn't being arrogant when she said that she had the strength and skills, so she had nothing to worry about.
"There are only 18 teams left on the field, with a total score of 390 points." Tang Jinye took the stool and sat on it, calculating. "That means we've already destroyed 39 statues."
"The system didn't say how many sculptures there are in total." Wu Chufu took out four round fans with different patterns and said to them.
"The teams that are tied in points at the end will probably hunt down other teams." Although the points difference between the top teams is quite large.
"That's right. Now there have been team deaths. It's not ruled out that they were hunted because of bad intentions, but there must be some who took the initiative to hunt other teams and succeeded." Qin Zhiyu analyzed.
"The sun in the sky has become smaller. When we set off later, we will deal with two or three more sculptures in the east direction, and finally look for the two sculptures in the middle of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram." Tang Jinye suggested.
"Can."
"good."
"no problem."
Qin Zhiyu and the other two agreed with this method.
Go forward like this and you will eventually get close to the sculpture at the center of the white formation of the Bagua diagram.
As the sculpture at the center of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, it might be a little different.
As they moved forward, they encountered sculptures that were spraying sulfuric acid and throwing stones.
After resolving the issue safely, the team's score became 70 points.
The second place score also reached 50 points, while the third and fourth place scores were both 40 points.
"There's competition for the last three teams." Wu Chufu said as he looked at the points.
"The third place has changed!" Song Yu'an watched as an unknown team suddenly gained 50 points, squeezing out the third place.
"There's something fishy about Yang Muyi's team!" Tang Jinye said with his pupils shrinking.
To be able to quickly increase to 50 points in such a short time, it is impossible to destroy several sculptures at the same time, and it is only possible to inherit the sculpture points of other teams.
“There are only 15 teams left now!”
"The total score has reached 730!" Song Yu'an said. "73 sculptures have been destroyed!"
"There's the white center sculpture up ahead!"
"Three meters tall! A whole lot bigger than the previous sculpture!" Wu Chufu exclaimed. "The facial features and body shape of this sculpture have become clearer."
Unlike the previous sculptures which were just a rough outline.
This is a Centaur man with his head down and eyes closed. He has a handsome face and is kneeling on his front knees with his hands hanging down at his sides. He looks very sad.
"Lifelike, isn't it?" Lin Fangshan said with a smile, touching his beard.
"Are you finally willing to come out?" Wu Chufu smiled charmingly.
This sculpture has many signs of burning, and a lot of materials are burnt and thrown on the ground. It seems that it has experienced a great battle.
But there were no corpses or damaged sculptures. They knew from afar that there was a team regularly present nearby. They never expected that they were acquaintances.
"Why is your team unable to deal with this sculpture?" Song Yu'an laughed.
"Isn't this help coming?" Lin Fangshan replied.
"Now that we're here, Lin Fangshan, why don't you introduce your teammates?" Tang Jinye obviously knew this old man.
"Why don't you come first? This girl looks a little unfamiliar!" Lin Fangshan said, pretending that he had never seen Qin Zhiyu before.
"I'm more interested in the handsome guy behind you." Wu Chufu said lightly.
"This is our captain." Lin Fangshan said with a laugh.
"Then handsome captain, do you have any experience to share about this sculpture?" Tang Jinye quickly took over Wu Chufu's words and said to the tall and conspicuous man behind Lin Fangshan.
The other two men were taciturn, looked ordinary, and stood behind them in a serious and low-key manner.
But their smooth muscle lines and bronze skin make it impossible to ignore their strength.
"The attacks of the sculpture are rhythmic. There are dense and tiny holes on the lower half of the horse's body of this sculpture, and the flames are sprayed onto every person." Qiao Yi did not hide anything and spoke generously.
"The flames on the other human sculptures were irregular and erupted randomly." His voice really matched his appearance, it was mellow, deep and very magnetic.
"No one is immune to water and fire. This sculpture is quite difficult." Tang Jinye said while tapping his arm with a pink round fan embroidered with a blooming lotus.
"I have a way." Lin Fangshan said.
"Just say what you want to say." Song Yu'an dislikes people who put on airs the most.
"We have tried to use raw materials to withstand a burst of flames before. Move forward." Lin Fangshan said when he saw this.
"Where do so many raw materials come from?" Wu Chufu and the others in the team couldn't help but think of Qin Zhiyu, who had a particularly large storage device.
But who would have the time to put so many raw materials in the device? Not only does it take up space, it's also not very useful.
And they would never reveal that Qin Zhiyu had a large-capacity storage device.
"By chance, I have prepared a lot of soil here." Qin Zhiyu stepped forward and said.
She herself doesn't care. Whether or not the size of the storage space is disclosed is just icing on the cake.
If she doesn't have it, she can make do with it, but if her space is only 500 square meters, it's hard to say whether she can still maintain stability.
"How many? We can cooperate." Qiao Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Qin Zhiyu and spoke.
"Ten-direction clay." Qin Zhiyu replied.
What she had was exactly ten-direction soil, and some other raw materials, but the cost of soil was relatively low, and there were eight people in two teams, which was just the right number, neither too many nor too few.
Qin Zhiyu waved his hand and took out the soil from all directions and placed it on the open space in front of him.
"Our team is moving the soil in all directions, and we should be able to reach the sculpture soon." Lin Fangshan said very naturally.
"Yeah." Qin Zhiyu replied.
There was some confusion in Song Yu'an's eyes as to why Lin Fangshan's team's share should also be included, but he wisely did not speak.
The other team did not propose any compensation, but naturally each person lifted a clod of earth and stood on the other side.
"Can you two women move this? Eight people and six lumps of earth will be enough." Lin Fangshan said.
"No need." Qin Zhiyu and Wu Chufu looked at each other and said.
"Let's go." Qiao Yi took the lead in carrying a clod of earth and moved towards the sculpture with ease.
This piece of soil is not light.
The ants we are familiar with are considered the weightlifting champions around us. They can generally lift objects that are about 50 times their own weight.
Of all the ants, the one with the strongest weight-lifting ability may be the yellow ant. Previous photos have shown that they can use their jaws to lift objects 100 times their own body weight.
After being transformed by natural disasters, the physical fitness of the creatures cannot currently reach the level of ants that can lift dozens of times more weight.
But it is still possible to lift a cubic meter of soil, and it does not require lifting it above the head.
"How long can this clay withstand the scorching heat?" Lin Fangshan asked.
"I haven't tried it." Qin Zhiyu also set off.
Feeling the arrival of people, the sculpture's blazing flames hit you in the face.
"It's really hotter now!" Song Yu'an's anger was greater than the flames.
"I didn't realize you were so afraid of heat?" Lin Fangshan looked at Song Yu'an in surprise and said.
It was indeed hot, but with the clay as a barrier, it wasn't to the point where I could become dehydrated.
"Hurry up, otherwise the clay will get hot." Qiao Yi interrupted Lin Fangshan's questioning.
The first ten meters of walking with the clay felt fine, but when you got to the ten meters near the sculpture, the clay in your hands became hot.
Qin Zhiyu was wearing insulated gloves and felt a little hot, not to mention the others.
Qin Zhiyu and his group moved in the same order as migratory birds fly, advancing in a V-formation, which could block some of the flames and make the temperature among them not so high.
But in this way, when everyone gathered together, the flames emitted by the sculpture were concentrated in front of them and above their heads, so they could only walk with their backs bent, which was quite embarrassing.
"You have to launch a surprise attack on us now, instead of hitting them one by one." Lin Fangshan said jokingly.
"That requires some ability." Wu Chufu couldn't figure out what this old man was thinking about all day. His thoughts were weird and irrelevant. After getting along with him for a long time, he found that he was far worse than Song Yu'an.
"We're here! Let's surround the sculpture with clay." Qin Zhiyu took the lead and lifted the clay and threw it towards the sculpture.
"Follow me!" Qiao Yi also threw down the clay.
The eight pieces of clay could only enclose one side of the sculpture that was three meters high and one meter wide. Qin Zhiyu did not take out the remaining clay, as the eight sides were enough.
"It's so hot, how can I attack like this!" Song Yu'an said sweating profusely.
"Knock on the top of the head to make an opening!" Qiao Yi said with obvious experience.
