Chapter 149 Mustard Seed Flying Gu
After seeing the Imperial Capital eliminated, everyone in the hall had only one thought left.
It seems that no team can stop the ancient capital.
For the three required projects, the ancient capital took first place with great strength, so there would probably be no suspense about the optional projects.
The only thing they need to think about is which three projects Gudu will choose... The optional projects are scored based on the rankings. If they can happen to miss the projects chosen by Gudu, then they may still have a chance to compete for a ranking.
Alas... Gu Du's previous performance in the Shendu Arena made many teams mistakenly believe that they were the type that were good at single-player combat. When registering for projects, most of them avoided Gu Du according to this standard. Now it seems that there may be a little problem.
However, it shouldn’t be a big problem. After all, there are two more optional projects this year, which invisibly reduces the probability of encountering the ancient capital, so you can still look forward to it.
…
Yu Cang sat in his seat and watched the performance of each team.
It can indeed be described as horrific.
The Imperial Capital was relatively good, at least it made it to the second half. Apart from the Imperial Capital, most teams couldn't even make it through the first 500 meters... There were even teams that were wiped out as soon as they set out.
In fact, this is how a normal deck should perform.
The epic beast tide is indeed too difficult for a team composed of third- and fourth-level soul card masters.
The teams that performed outstandingly are still those few teams.
After being able to prepare in advance, the Shendu team performed quite well.
Dragon souls were seen flying over the battlefield. Several epic dragon souls pressed down the formation, making the warriors form a faint whole. Even those third-level soul card masters with severely insufficient mental stress limit could borrow some epic power with every sword swing.
Putting the epic dragon summoned beast into death cooldown and then borrowing the power of its dragon soul would put much less mental pressure than directly summoning it. In addition, their dragon souls seemed to be able to be shared within the team to a certain extent, so the mental pressure limit of the Phantom Crystal Sea did not have much impact on the Shendu team.
However, due to the death cooldown restriction, the gods were still very anxious. Judging from the density of wild beasts around them, once the Soul Cards in the deck reached zero cooldown and could no longer provide Dragon Souls, they would most likely not have the opportunity to put them back into death cooldown.
Therefore, the Shendu team fought in a very reckless manner, rushing forward all the way, as if they were going to compete with Gudu in speed. This style of fighting was surprisingly suitable for Long Benxi Jian, so in the first half of the journey, their speed was only slightly slower than Gudu.
But that’s just the first half.
As they entered the second half, the pressure on the battlefield increased sharply, and as the death cooldown of the soul cards in the deck gradually improved, the strength of their deck also declined seriously. As the light of the last warrior of Shendu was swallowed by darkness, it meant that Shendu - had not passed this project either.
397 meters from the finish line.
Off the court.
Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, good results.
By now, no one was aiming for the "clearance" goal anymore. Everyone's focus was on the distance to the finish line.
And now, Shendu is the first team to break through the 400-meter mark!
Their results in the previous events had always been average, but this time their result was a full 100 meters better than that of the Imperial Capital, which really gave them a slap on the wrist.
What? You said there's an ancient capital city ahead that's perfect for clearing?
Who would compare with that monster? That would only make things difficult for himself.
Well... this project's score is higher than the Imperial Capital's, so as long as the next optional projects don't conflict with the Ancient Capital, they are still confident that they can beat the remaining teams... In this way, they may be able to get second place!
They are already very satisfied with the second place... Now it seems that the value of this year's major military upgrade is surprisingly high. Maybe later on, when they mention this year's second place, they can directly crush the first place of other years!
I just don’t know... which projects the ancient city will apply for.
Yun Yan narrowed his eyes.
Since that ring battle, they have studied the information about the ancient capital. Although there is not much useful information, they have made targeted adjustments to the projects they want to report.
I hope... I can guess it right.
…
One by one, teams entered the Dire frontier, only to be quickly eliminated.
Youdu, which performed very well in the previous project, did not gain any benefits in this project.
However, the way they were eliminated was... a little strange.
In the previous project, Youdu demonstrated its strong defensive capabilities. Now that it is a group battle and can deploy more monument realms at the same time, Youdu's defensive capabilities have reached a terrifying level.
The boundary of the monument rising above the earth almost connected the heaven and the earth, and was immersed in the boundless darkness. In front of the boundary of the monument, all the epic beasts had no way to deal with it. No matter how many times they attacked, they could not break through this layer of defense.
Moreover, their defensive capabilities have formed a cycle. Occasionally, when a town monument is broken or damaged, someone will immediately replace it with a new one. The death cooling can fully keep up, or even be more than enough.
Looking at this immovable aura, the people watching in the hall even had the idea that they could compete with Gu Du.
One is extreme destruction, the other is extreme defense.
However, this thought only lasted for a short time and then disappeared.
After all, they also knew that the reason why this defense could be so powerful was purely because... there was no legendary item in this level.
What's more, the Ancient Capital's electronic buffer barrier is also ridiculously strong. It's just that no wild beasts got close enough to them when they cleared the level, so its defensive power wasn't evident. Furthermore, the Ancient Capital's buffer barrier is a one-way shield, allowing exit but not entry. Your boundary of the monument defends both sides, leaving no room for counterattack. The Ancient Capital is more practical.
Although they are still in competition with Gudu, everyone has already started to praise Gudu's card decks in their hearts.
After all, this will become their armament sooner or later... What's wrong with bragging about their own armament?
Moreover, no matter how strong your Youdu’s defense is, you will still be eliminated.
Although no wild beast can break your defense...you can't kill them either.
At the beginning, Youdu's momentum was indeed strong due to the force of the charge, but the density of wild beasts in this level was too great. Before long, Youdu's team was stuck in place and unable to move.
A faint light rose above the crystal sea, completely illuminating the space within the boundary of the monument. It was peaceful in there, and even the mental stress of the warriors did not reach the limit, and they coped with it quite easily.
But looking outside... the surging monsters were crowded together, leaving almost no space, and the bloody mouths squeezed into flat surfaces were stuck on the boundary of the monument, which looked very funny.
The warriors within the realm of the monument looked at each other.
Although the realm of the monument has a certain anti-damage function, it is not enough to face the overwhelming tide of wild beasts.
Attracted by the light, more and more wild beasts gathered. In the end, the density of the wild beasts was even more exaggerated than in the second half of the project. These wild beasts stepped on each other and climbed up along the surface of the monument, but it was useless. The defense of the monument was quite comprehensive, with no blind spots.
Seeing this scene, even the judges in the small conference room were a little confused.
Hmm...how do I calculate this?
This defense is too solid... It looks like there will be no results even after another day and night.
"Hmm... this deck does have its merits," Qiu Zhong said. "Although it's not as strong as a mechanical deck, if it focuses on defense... it seems it could provide some special units."
Jiang Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, don't waste time here. Without a legendary beast, even if there are twice as many epic beasts coming, it will be useless. Let them out. As for the results... calculate it based on twice the distance traveled."
“It seems like this is a bit of a disadvantage for them.”
With the momentum they had just gained from entering the Dark Crystal Sea, they only rushed out three or four hundred meters. Even if they doubled their speed, it would still be less than half of that.
"There's nothing we can do." Jiang Shan shook his head. "With so many projects in the military overhaul, there are bound to be some that aren't suitable. We're not deliberately targeting anyone."
"Yeah, let's do it that way."
…
Youdu was eliminated just like that.
However, this could be considered a kind of glorious defeat, so when Jin Zhaoshan returned to his seat, he held his head high and chest puffed out, looking proud and proud.
Persisting the longest, with zero casualties! ... Although these are not major points, I ask you, who can do it?
After all, if we really compare them according to common sense, no one can beat Gu Du. And theoretically speaking, Gu Du can only achieve that level with the support of Huang Jing. They are purely manpower, and as long as the time is long enough, they can definitely last longer than Gu Du.
Round up and win!
Feeling everyone's gazes along the way, Jin Zhaoshan felt that those gazes must be full of admiration.
Sitting in his seat, Lao Baixu glanced at Jin Zhaoshan without saying anything.
As friends for so many years, he could tell what Jin Zhaoshan was thinking at a glance.
Although theoretically this is correct.
But, those dead wild beasts will also drop wild crystals, right? You can't match their endurance!
Looking at Jin Zhaoshan who was smiling foolishly, Lao Bai sighed, but still couldn't bear to tell him the fact.
…
Soon, the project came to an end. To Yu Cang's surprise, an unknown team also emerged this time.
This team is Miaodu.
Miaodu's deck looks very mysterious.
After their team entered the border of the Nightmare, they did not advance immediately. Instead, they directly restrained most of their abilities and rushed in the opposite direction!
Of course, within the Nightmare border, there are wild beasts everywhere. Even if you do nothing, those wild beasts will find you, so running away is completely meaningless.
Sure enough, wild beasts soon targeted this large group of people and launched an attack. The battle was about to break out. The Miaodu team could no longer hide their whereabouts well and was forced to fight.
After this fight, the light on the crystal sea naturally brightened, attracting more wild beasts to come and attack them. Soon, there were casualties.
Miaodu's decks... are very ordinary to be honest, at least in Yu Cang's eyes, these decks have no special features at all, they are just very common ordinary decks, and he really doesn't see any need to participate in the major armament reform.
However, just as he was thinking this, something strange happened on the field.
When they were about to be unable to hold on, Miao Du's team suddenly disappeared as a whole!
Yes, the whole team disappeared without any sign. All you could see was a silver light suddenly covering the entire team, and the next second, the entire company disappeared.
Even the soul card master who was operating the broadcast soul card was stunned. The camera looked around for a long time before finally finding the Miaodu team somewhere in the distance.
Yu Cang blinked, as if he had figured something out, and couldn't help but take a breath.
Wait, so far?
Miaodu’s team instantly appeared in the second half of the journey!
Group space teleportation?
This ability is actually not uncommon. Advanced soul card masters usually put a few soul cards with spatial abilities in their decks, but spatial teleportation used by third and fourth level soul card masters is very rare.
And it looks very far away.
Yu Cang frowned and looked at Lin Yunqing: "Did you see clearly?"
"No." Lin Yunqing seemed a little confused, but she quickly calmed down and began to analyze, "I've never seen them use this ability in previous projects, but..."
Lin Yunqing frowned slightly, as if recalling something. "Oh, right, this time, because they had so many people, they were able to hold out against the wild beast tide for much longer than the previous two missions. So, I guess this teleportation ability probably requires a certain amount of time to guide, and can't be used directly."
"...That's possible." Yu Cang nodded.
The ability to teleport... The void attribute is quite noble. Generally speaking, if it has any connection with it, the quality must be epic or above.
Being able to create void attribute soul cards that are consistently used by third and fourth level soul card masters... even if it only has the ability of teleportation, it can already be considered powerful.
You really can't underestimate any opponent.
…
Miao capital direction
Seeing everyone in the hall suddenly stunned, Miao Xue chuckled, snorted, and leaned back in her chair.
You must be shocked!
Hmm~comfortable.
Although the result of her participation in the Armament Overhaul was a deck, to be honest, the core consisted of only a few soul cards.
That is the "Mustard Seed Flying Gu".
Its effect is very strong. The body has a certain stealth ability and can be controlled over ultra-long distances. Even if it flies several thousand meters, the connection will not be disconnected.
Moreover, its most important ability is that the Mustard Flying Gu can actively enter death cooling and forcibly teleport its operator to its side. In combination with several other soul cards, it can also perform group teleportation.
Of course, this ability has its limitations, that is, it takes a certain amount of time to guide. The longer the transmission distance and the weaker the operator, the longer it takes. Just like in the previous project, they didn't even have time to finish guiding before the team was wiped out.
After all, apart from these two cards, the other soul cards in their deck are really weak. It was okay in the previous armament changes, but this time the difficulty has increased sharply and they simply can't cope with it.
As for the first project... although at that time on top of the tower, in the narrow space, the Mustard Flying Gu could teleport instantly, but... what if he was killed in an instant?
I'm not feeling well today, so I'll write this first and make up for it tomorrow.
