When the elimination sounded, the staff quickly appeared and took the three eliminated people out of the map.

Everything happened too fast.

The audience outside the screen couldn't react.

"Jerrol was eliminated just like that?!!"

"What's the name of the guy who eliminated him? How come I have no impression of him at all?"

"His name... I think it's Fred?"

"You know what, his last move was really amazing!"

At this time, in Fred's hometown.

The bar owner said proudly: "This is the Fred I told you about before! When he was still a boy, he often came to my bar to play. At that time, I saw that this boy had potential!"

The familiar drinkers laughed and said: "Come on, aren't you the most annoyed by those brats who sneak into the bar to listen to the story of the card master!"

"Fred is different!" The bar owner blushed, "He is different from those brats, I saw it when he was a child!"

The drinkers laughed and ignored him.

The bar owner wiped the cups angrily, and instructed his waiter: "Go hang a sign at the door, saying that Fred from Mosca College, who is now participating in the four-school league, used to like to come to my bar the most!"

Waiter: "..."

No... just forcibly?

At Fred's home, since they knew that Fred was going to participate in the four-school league, all the relatives who were not related to him at all came to visit.

Fred's parents simply closed the small restaurant at home and watched the four-school league together.

When they saw Fred was injured but eliminated two opponents, there were bursts of exclamations.

Fred's mother covered her mouth and tears fell immediately.

Fred's father was originally very proud, but he fell silent at this time.

I don't know who in the crowd whispered, "Why is it so dangerous? You might as well be a chef at home..."

Fred's father suddenly stood up and said, "What kind of chef is this! Fred is different from us! Besides, it's dangerous! Without the card masters fighting on the front line, the evil spirits would have invaded long ago. How could you have the good life you have now?"

The man left in disgrace.

The relatives who had laughed at Fred's ambitions were silent.

When they were young, who didn't want to be like Fred, become a card master, perform amazingly in the four-school league, and then enter the military to fight against evil spirits and become a hero that everyone envied!

But they all gave up in the end for various reasons. Only the silly Fred persisted to the end.

Maybe that's why God gave him the talent of card-playing.

Back in the competition, after the staff took the three people out, the map also shrank.

The map of the second round of competition changes according to the number of card-playing masters. When a card-playing master is eliminated, the map will shrink accordingly. It is said that this is to prevent card-playing masters from avoiding battles in the later stages.

And this time, three people were eliminated, and the map shrank a lot.

Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian are now in the shrunk position. If they are still in the same place within the specified time, they will be judged to have lost their fighting ability and be eliminated.

How could Fred waste the advantage he gained by sacrificing himself on such things?

So, Gu Xingmian immediately took Xiao Qiong inside.

As soon as they reached a safe place, Xiao Qiong could not hold on any longer and fell down.

Gu Xingmian was almost tripped by him, but luckily he managed to hold him up.

Xiao Qiong was a little more sober at this moment. He supported Gu Xingmian to stand up and whispered, "Hide first."

Gu Xingmian's heart sank.

Xiao Qiong was always the first to rush to the front in everything. When you hear him say the word "hide", you can see how bad his condition is at this moment.

There happened to be a small oasis in front of them, and Gu Xingmian immediately supported Xiao Qiong and hid in it.

Gu Xingmian struggled to help Xiao Qiong to lean against a tree, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The oasis was much cooler than the sand, and Xiao Qiong's face was not so pale after resting for a while.

Gu Xingmian originally wanted to get some water for him to drink, but he didn't know if the water in this map was drinkable, so he just wet his sleeves and used it to wipe Xiao Qiong's face.

Xiao Qiong closed his eyes, and his originally sharp brows seemed much softer, and his lips were slightly pale.

In order to save mental energy, he did not treat the small wounds on his body, which made him look even more pitiful.

Gu Xingmian looked at his face. Xiao Qiong was very sensitive. He rarely looked at him like this before, and he thought he was quite handsome.

After he came to his senses, his face was almost burning.

What's wrong with him!

In such a dangerous and public situation, he actually stared at Xiao Qiong's face and began to stare blankly? !

Fortunately, he had his back to the audience in the camera, so no one knew what he was doing.

Gu Xingmian pressed his nails hard on his palms to wake himself up, and began to think about what to do next.

His four skills have been used up, and Xiao Qiong is in the same situation.

Now both of them have no ability to protect themselves. If they go out and are discovered by Fallet's people, they will be eliminated in a minute.

For now, they can only hide here temporarily and wait for Xiao Qiong to recover a little before seeing the situation.

I don't know how my teammates are doing now.

He just finished thinking about this when he heard the announcement voice again.

"Fallet Academy, Norman is out!"

"Mosca Academy, Bird is out!"

"Mosca Academy, Mantlin is out!"

"Fallet Academy, Guy is out!"

...

These voices rang out one after another, and in an instant, most of the people in the map were gone.

The audience outside the screen were dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought that Fred's terrible performance was just an accident, but they didn't expect that everyone in Mosca Academy was crazy!

From the beginning of the game, no one thought about joining up with their teammates. Instead, they started looking for members of the Faret Academy all over the world. Whenever they met someone who was alone, they would fight him without caring about anything. As long as they got the chance, they would trade one for one with others without caring about their lives.

It's only been half an hour! ! Half of the people have been eliminated!

So cruel! !

The Farets have always been called war machines. Their ruthless performance after forming a battle formation has always been feared by major colleges.

But at this moment, compared to the fierce Mosca, everyone felt that the Farets were actually quite gentle.

The Farets were also confused.

According to the experience of previous league matches, after the game starts, everyone will first look for teammates. Unless they meet halfway, they will not start fighting. After all, they are just competing, not enemies.

Who would play so desperately at the beginning?

The extreme play of Mosca and others can't last long. This play consumes mental and physical energy. Once it fails, it will put the team in trouble.

But they don't know that Song Nanting has already analyzed it before the game. If they play against Falete, once the game is dragged to half an hour and they are allowed to gather and form a battle formation, they will only be eaten up and eventually fail.

If they want to fight for that 10% chance of winning, they can only gamble.

At the beginning, before they could react, they were stunned. After all, the Fallets were thinking about forming a battle formation, and they would definitely not use their full strength at the beginning like they did. This slight difference in ability would determine the victory. If it were

another academy, this tactic might not work.

All the card masters who were able to enter the four-school league were outstanding and unruly. Not to mention whether they were willing to accept this tactic, even if they accepted it, this style of play could easily cause serious injuries, so some people would inevitably hesitate.

But at the Mosca Academy, there was no such concern at all.

Everyone trusted Song Nanting very much. As long as she said it, everyone would not doubt it, but would do their best.

Not only that, God might have favored the Mosca Academy once.

At the beginning of the game, Xiao Qiong met Jerrol, and Fred even took away two of the opponents in a one-for-two trade.

This caused a great impact on the hearts of the Falletts, and they wanted to find their teammates more urgently. However, it was this mentality that gave the Mosca's an opportunity to defeat them one by one.

So, the audience saw an extremely absurd phenomenon on this field.

Usually, the Fallett formation was the one that chased people from other colleges around the world, but now it was completely reversed, and they were chased around the world by the Mosca's.

Looking at the desperate appearance of the Falletts, Caldwell was completely speechless.

Li Chengji thought for a moment, then looked at Principal Baker politely: "Baker, are your students always so... well, active in the competition?"

Baker: "..."

In fact, he was also shocked when he saw it for the first time. He can only say that these students always surprise him.

Admiral Leus looked at their performance with admiration: "They are very smart. They know that they will not have a chance of winning after the combination of Fallet, so they simply use this method of destroying both sides from the beginning. It is simple and crude but effective."

"This judgment of the current situation, decisiveness, and execution are all top-notch."

No one expected Leus to have such a high evaluation of Mosca Academy.

Mrs. Hollis and Li Chengji both looked solemn.

Their two teams will play in the next match, and after the winner is decided, they will compete against Mosca and Fallet respectively.

If it were in the past, they would definitely pray not to play against Fallet.

But after watching today's match, God, please don't let our team members run into Mosca's crazy dogs!

At this time, as members were eliminated one by one, the map became smaller and smaller.

However, Gu Xingmian and his team were lucky that this oasis had not been reduced in size, which allowed them to survive until now.

Gu Xingmian also realized how hard his teammates fought from the cruel eliminations. He took a deep breath and silently decided in his heart that he must hold on until Xiao Qiong recovered his physical and mental strength.

But at this moment, Gu Xingmian suddenly heard some slight noises coming from outside the oasis.

He held his breath and looked in the direction of the noise, only to find a Faret walking towards them with a huge axe.

Gu Xingmian's heart instantly rose.

The Faret was not particularly far away from them, but he was frightened by the fact that his teammates were eliminated one by one, so he was extra cautious. However, in a few minutes, he would definitely see Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong.

Gu Xingmian subconsciously looked back at Xiao Qiong, who still had his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.

Can't be discovered by him!!

Gu Xingmian forced himself to calm down and looked around.

There was not much space to hide in the oasis in the desert, and if he dragged Xiao Qiong, it would definitely make noise and attract the other party.

What to do!

What to do!

Gu Xingmian was digging his palms tightly, and at this moment, he saw the lake not far away.

He had checked the nearby environment before, and even went to the lake to fetch water for Xiao Qiong to wipe his face. He knew that the lake was not shallow, and there were no strange creatures in it, so it was relatively safe.

It happened that the god card of that Faret could not fly, so as long as they hid a little in the middle, he should not be able to see them by the lake.

Gu Xingmian made up his mind and stopped hesitating. He carefully lifted Xiao Qiong up and walked towards the lake.

In the middle of the lake, there were some long and thin reeds, which were perfect for hiding.

Gu Xingmian held Xiao Qiong's body and slowly went into the water. While looking in the direction of that Faret, he carefully swam towards the reeds.

The water surface was rippled.

But just as they were about to enter the reeds, Gu Xingmian saw a flash of cold light in the bushes, and he instantly realized that it was the giant axe of the Fallet.

He arrived so quickly!!

Gu Xingmian didn't care about anything else, covered Xiao Qiong's mouth and nose, and sank into the water with him.

After entering the water, he tried to hold Xiao Qiong and swim towards the reeds.

Gu Xingmian is a good swimmer, but it is difficult to drag a person underwater.

Not to mention, Xiao Qiong did not take a deep breath like him before sinking into the water, and the air in his lungs soon became insufficient.

Gu Xingmian was anxious.

He didn't know whether the Faret had left or not, and he didn't dare to float up rashly now.

Seeing that Xiao Qiong was about to struggle, he let go of his hand in a hurry, covered his lips with his, and passed the oxygen in his mouth to Xiao Qiong.

In the cold lake water, he seemed to have touched the only heat source.

Xiao Qiong's teeth knocked his lower lip lightly, and Gu Xingmian felt a little pain, but he didn't dare to move, and passed air into Xiao Qiong's mouth in small sips.

But Xiao Qiong didn't seem satisfied with this little bit of oxygen, and he grabbed it from his mouth with force, as if he had learned it by himself.

Gu Xingmian: "!!!"

The teeth that were originally just knocking lightly actually rolled over his lips, biting gently as if it was a punishment.

Gu Xingmian wanted to cry but had no tears, he simply wanted to curse Xiao Qiong to death, are you a dog? !

Just before the oxygen in Gu Xingmian's lungs was about to run out, they finally reached the reeds.

Gu Xingmian couldn't wait to let go of Xiao Qiong and float up, but at this moment, Xiao Qiong in the water actually opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other.

At that moment, Gu Xingmian had only one thought in his mind.

Life is short, just endure it and it will pass.

He tried not to let his expression reveal anything, supported Xiao Qiong's face and backed away, then pointed to the top of his head. After that

, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Qiong's expression at all, and swam upwards alone.

When he surfaced, he let out a long breath, but unexpectedly, he pulled the wound on his lower lip and grimaced in pain.

At this moment, Xiao Qiong also surfaced and saw Gu Xingmian's expression.

There was a moment of embarrassment.

Gu Xingmian tried hard to ignore it and made a "huh" gesture to him.

But his action made Xiao Qiong inevitably see the wound on his lower lip.

Although Xiao Qiong was unconscious, he was not completely unconscious.

This is his unique way of responding. If he encounters danger in the middle, he can also use his instinct to wake up in advance and fight the enemy.

He could feel Gu Xingmian wiping his face and taking him away.

Before going into the water, although Gu Xingmian didn't know if he could hear him, he whispered his plan to him, otherwise Xiao Qiong would not cooperate so well.

The moment he sank into the water, Xiao Qiong felt a soft hand covering his mouth and nose.

Xiao Qiong knew that he had to wake up as soon as possible, so he indulged his instincts.

But he didn't expect that Gu Xingmian would mistakenly think that he was short of oxygen.

And then...

Xiao Qiong wanted to look away, but found that the self-control he was proud of seemed to have failed.

Even though he was controlling his body instinctively at that time, all the feelings still remain in his memory, and because of instinct, the feeling is even clearer and deeper.

He even remembers the soft lips and teeth, and the tip of the tongue that he accidentally touched, like a startled bird that was forced into a corner by him, dodging but eventually falling into his palm.

The wound on Gu Xingmian's lips kept reminding him how rough and anxious he was at that time.

Gu Xingmian was stared at by him, and even though he told himself in his heart that it was just an accident and he could just ignore it, his ears still turned red unconsciously. After

the game is over, he must explain that he was just trying to save him and was definitely not taking advantage of him.

After Gu Xingmian thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

In the end, it was obviously Xiao Qiong who took advantage of him, but when he thought about clarifying this issue with Xiao Qiong and thought of his eyes, he felt that he couldn't say it.

It was just a mess!

Gu Xingmian clenched his fists in annoyance.

At this moment.

The voice from above interrupted the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere between them.

"Falete College, Adolf is eliminated!"

"Mosca College, Song Nanting is eliminated!"

This made Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong sober up instantly.

At Xiao Qiong's signal, Gu Xingmian returned to his spiritual body.

Gu Xingmian simply told Xiao Qiong about the visit by a Falete.

Xiao Qiong: [Got it. 】

At this time, the map has begun to shrink, and this time the oasis has become a part of it.

Xiao Qiong saw the hurriedly leaving figure of the Faret through the gaps in the reeds, and waited for a while to make sure that he would not come back before returning to the shore from the water.

Xiao Qiong followed the Faret at a distance that was not too far away.

Gu Xingmian asked worriedly: [Are you okay? ]

After all, Xiao Qiong had overdrawn both his physical and mental strength before, and he did not rest for too long. Gu Xingmian was very worried about his body.

Xiao Qiong: [It's okay, I have recovered almost completely. ]

[Oh. ] Gu Xingmian returned quietly.

The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened in the water.

Meanwhile, the audience outside the screen was already exploding.

"It was just a little bit!! If he had looked into the water again, Xiao Qiong would have been eliminated!"

"Didn't Xiao Qiong faint? How could he stay underwater for so long?" "

Xiao Qiong was exhausted both physically and mentally. He should have needed a day or two to recover. How come he recovered so quickly?"

"Could it be that UR Card did something? To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that UR Card has any skills now!"

"Does anyone know what happened underwater? Is it really UR Card's skill?!"

"Is there anything that we, the distinguished audience, can't see?! Bad review from the director!!!"

...

Fortunately, Gu Xingmian didn't know about the audience's comments, otherwise he would be even more embarrassed and angry.

He and Xiao Qiong had temporarily "forgotten" what had just happened and were completely immersed in the competition.

Gu Xingmian read out the list of eliminated players that he had heard before.

It can only be said that everyone carried out the plan arranged by Song Nanting very well, even Song Nanting himself was not spared.

Now there are four of them left, namely Xiao Qiong, Eric, Fu Fenglin and Nina, and there are three left in Faret Academy.

The audience outside the screen shouted, and suddenly realized that Mosca Academy now has the upper hand.

However, although they have the upper hand in terms of numbers, these four people are all injured, while the remaining three people of Faret are in good condition. Moreover

, the map is getting smaller and smaller, and it is impossible to avoid it by hiding. There will definitely be a big battle in the end.

In the expectant eyes of the audience.

The Fallet who left the oasis finally saw his teammates.

Two Fallet who had formed a battle formation were fighting Eric, Fufeng Lin and Nina.

Eric's condition was the most serious, with injuries of all sizes and a gloomy face. Fufeng Lin's condition was not much better, and his fingers holding the auxiliary card were trembling slightly. Although Nina's condition was better, her God Card Molly had two broken legs, and the spider silk she spit out was not as sharp as before, but rather intermittent.

Countless blue spores were floating in the sky, and each spore was poisonous. Once it landed on someone, the toxin would instantly invade his body.

However, among the two Fallets, one of the card masters' God Card turned out to be armor, and the spores could do nothing to them.

The other card master's God Card was a warhorse. They were obviously only two people, but with the blessing of the battle array, they seemed to have thousands of troops. Eric and his three tried to counterattack several times, but they all failed.

Not only that, they also saw the Fallet who was about to join his teammates.

Just when they were in despair, a steel wire rope flashing with arcs blocked the Fallet.

"Boss!!"
