Chapter 12
Desperate game, chaotic copy battle royale queue ing.
Under Zhan Mu's enthusiastic call, Bian Lu and An Jing also joined the ranks of brushing the book, and at the same time pulled a girl named Cheng Cheng, and the five-person team was finally gathered.
They are Zhan Mu of the earth element, Lu Chao of the water element, Bian Lu of the wood element, An Jing of the fire element, and Cheng Cheng of the gold element.
"Do you remember?" Lu Chao asked, acting as the team leader.
"Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water." The four people answered him in unison, and said that the order of the five elements must not be messed up.
Five people went in. It was the same gray stone slab with the four divine beasts. This time the divine beast on duty was the Azure Dragon.
An Jing immediately said: "Qinglong belongs to wood, quickly take position!"
Bian Lu glanced at him and knew that his big brother energy had returned. He said, "I am a wood element. I'm fine."
An Jing murmured, "I am fire, wood gives birth to fire..." As he spoke, he glanced down at his feet, and sure enough, red flames rose up. The next second, he rushed towards Bian Lu and jumped on him, carrying him on his back.
“…” Cheng Jiacheng: A gay man.
"Tsk tsk, I knew they were having an affair." Zhan Mu saw this and tilted his head to chat secretly with Lu Chao.
Lu Chao said, "You are earth, and wood overcomes earth." He opened his broad chest to him, manly indicating that he wanted him to carry him on his back to prevent him from losing blood.
Lu Chao is water, and water produces wood. He was losing blood, so he took a blood-replenishing potion.
"I'm Jin, Jin Kemu, and I'm fine." Cheng Cheng, the only female compatriot, answered, and crossed her chest with her hands folded in boredom.
"Wood overcomes earth..." Zhan Mu's health kept dropping, and green vines sprouted from under his feet. He ignored everyone, including Lu Chao, who wanted to help him. He paused for two seconds and then asked, "The Azure Dragon belongs to Wood, the White Tiger to Metal, the Black Tortoise to Water, and the Vermillion Bird to Fire."
"I belong to the Earth element. It seems the attributes of these four divine beasts can't protect me." Zhan Mu said. Coincidentally, he didn't lose much health. The rotation began. The Azure Dragon statue's eyes dimmed, and then the White Tiger statue's eyes glowed.
"No, why is it still turning?!" Bian Lu was speechless.
"Wood, fire, earth, metal, water, keep going." Lu Chao reminded everyone with a smile, "We should have passed the level after four rotations."
"Stop talking nonsense. The White Tiger belongs to the element of metal. Stand in your respective positions." The lady who goes by the pseudonym Cheng Cheng admonished the four big boys.
An Jing casually said, "Since the five elements are here, the next level won't be the twelve hours of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, right?"
"Focus on the present first!" Bian Lu shouted, "Jin Kemu, so I'm fine. You guys watch your health!"
"I am, I am gold...so I'm fine." Cheng Cheng replied with a frown, feeling that his mind was starting to get confused. He also stared intently at the changes in the statue to see when it would change its mind.
"I am water, gold produces water, I'm fine." Lu Chao replied.
"I am earth..." Zhan Mu spoke with difficulty, smiled bitterly, and said, "What is the relationship between earth and white tiger?" There was no need to answer. The earth under his feet produced gold, making it difficult for him to move. He became clumsy and slow in movement.
Seeing his embarrassment, Lu Chao immediately walked over and half-knelt, indicating that he could carry him. He said, "Okay, I know you're used to working alone and don't like to cooperate with others, but this is a team project. Come on, get on, you're welcome."
Zhan Mu slapped him on the back of the head, "Alright, idiot."
Then he jumped up and was carried on Lu Chao's back.
Sure enough, the rotation started again, and this time it was Xuanwu.
"Xuanwu..." Cheng Jiacheng whispered, looking at the blue-eyed statue, and said, "Water!"
Lu Chao replied: "I am water, I'm fine."
"I am gold. What's the origin of gold and water?" Cheng Jiacheng began to get annoyed. His mind seemed to be stuck and he muttered, "Gold gives birth to water."
"Hey, Chengcheng, can you please stop talking and just memorize it yourself? I'm thinking about it too!" An Jing interrupted her with a click of his tongue.
"Stop arguing, both of you." Bian Lu knew their nature well. Whenever they got together, they would definitely argue.
Zhan Mu replied: "Cheng Cheng is metal, metal produces water, Cheng Cheng is fine. An Jing is fire, water controls fire, An Jing will lose blood. An Jing needs someone to carry him."
"I am wood, and wood gives birth to water. I'm fine." Bian Lu continued, "An Jing, come here and I'll carry you."
As An Jing jumped up, the four divine beasts, the gray stones, began to rotate again. The last one was Suzaku. It had just started to rotate when the statue's eyes glowed red. Lu Chao had already started to answer for them.
Almost in one breath, he said, "Zhan Mutu, it's okay. Bian Lumu, find someone to carry you. An Jinghuo, carry Bian Lu. Cheng Chengjin, you're defeated, you decide who to carry you."
"What about you?" Zhan Mu asked, "You are water..." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that water controls fire, so he was fine.
Cheng Jiacheng then stood in front of Lu Chao, smiled, and said, "You, Lu... Chao? Thank you for being there. You've brought warmth to everyone."
Yes, this guy’s mind was almost never confused during the whole round. He is simply the nemesis of the game. He must be a big shot.
After the four divine beasts had all rotated, they passed the level collectively. The light in the eyes of the divine beast statues dimmed at the same time, and stones floating in the air appeared in front of them and paved the way for them to move forward.
The five people then walked forward. They first saw the vast and lush grassland, and heard the low dragon roar coming from the clouds and sky. They knew nothing else.
A reminder chimed from the brain-computer interface, explaining, "Congratulations to Team 12306 for passing the first stage of the 'Chaos Dungeon Battle Royale,' the 'Four Divine Beasts' stage. Entering the second stage, the Heavenly Stems Yin and Yang stage."
"It's really a heavenly deed." An Jing smiled.
"What are the Heavenly Stems?" Zhan Mu didn't know what the Heavenly Stems were, he just couldn't recite them.
"Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui." Lu Chao replied.
Bian Lu, who also had a basic understanding thanks to Teacher An's guidance, said, "There's also yin and yang, and the five elements. Jia and Yi are wood, Bing and Ding are fire, Wu and Ji are earth, Geng and Xin are metal, and Ren and Gui are water. If this situation is related to the previous one, then it's like this."
Cheng Jiacheng snorted, glanced at Lu Chao, and asked with a smile: "Lu Chao, where are you from and what do you do?"
Zhan Mu stared at her sharp attitude. He thought that she suspected that Lu Chao knew too much and needed to win over his connections.
"Just playing games." Lu Chao also smiled politely.
"We must first figure out what kind of situation this is, before we can find a way to break it." An Jing said in a deep voice, and at the same time squatted down, reaching out to touch the grass on the ground. As soon as he touched it, his fire elemental power leaked out and burned a large area of grass.
Almost at one o'clock, sparks spread across the prairie, and then the green dragon in the clouds above their heads let out a huge roar. The five people were startled and saw clearly the huge creature.
There is also a terrifying health bar with several 9s on its head.
"There's no way to fight this." Zhan Mu was the first to point out the truth.
Bian Lu also nodded: "Yes, it seems that it is also a matter of wits, or it may be the five elements. Grass is wood, I will give it a try."
As he said that, he stepped on it carefully. It was okay, and the green dragon above his head turned a blind eye. But after he passed through, the ground under his feet suddenly started to rotate, and he seemed to be fixed and unable to move.
The remaining four were stunned. Cheng Jiacheng even tried to pull him away, but An Jing stopped him and gestured for them to look at the new scenery that had emerged before them—wood again?! A forest.
"What does this mean?" Cheng Jiacheng checked the interface. Bian Lu's health did not drop, and he could still make calls.
"I'm fine, I just can't move. I felt frozen as soon as I got here. It feels freezing here."
"I understand. There are probably four blocks, which are divided into two small blocks of yin and yang. After all, Jia and Yi are wood, Jia is yang wood, and Yi is yin wood. The wood in the forest is yang wood, and the wood of flowers and plants is yin wood." Lu Chao explained the principle.
"So, the tile Bian Lu just used is Yin Wood?" Zhan Mu nodded, then looked back at the forest. He rested his chin on his hand and said, "This is Yang Wood, but how can we get in? And once we're in, how can we escape?"
"Also, since it's the Five Elements, what about Earth?" Cheng Jiacheng also raised a question. "The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird each guard their own plate. Does that mean there's no mythical beast on the Earth plate?"
"That's amazing." Lu Chao whispered to Zhan Mu, "Where did you find such high-quality netizens?"
"You told me to hook up with An Jing, the person he pulled in." Zhan Mu also whispered in his ear.
An Jing said, "Okay, Chengcheng's idea makes sense. The next step is to see if we can trigger another rotation so that we can hit the earth plate and then determine whether we can pass."
However, the disk stopped moving and became fixed on the Yang Wood.
"What should we do? Who should go?" Cheng Jiacheng rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm a metal element, and metal overcomes wood. Should I go?"
As she spoke, she took the lead and stepped on it. It was still fine and started to rotate. Zhan Mu immediately shouted, "It's moving! Can you get off!"
Cheng Jiacheng said "oh" and started running immediately, but he was trapped inside and couldn't leave. Although he was a gold, he didn't lose any blood, but the green dragon above his head roared incessantly, like a groan in pain.
"I'll go and try to save her!" Zhan Mu subconsciously wanted to pull her back, not wanting to lose any more teammates, but An Jing stopped him and shouted, "You are earth! Wood overcomes earth! Earth doesn't give birth to wood!"
"Yes, come back." Lu Chao also realized it later and reminded: "Remember the five elements of life and death, this is equivalent to the Qimen."
Awesome, really awesome, they are all really awesome.
Zhan Mu was stopped by his call. He was frozen in his tracks by his own impulsiveness, and then fell into an awkward situation of not having enough intelligence. These four people, even Cheng Cheng, who looked the most fragile, were calm and composed.
Only I, Zhan Mu, standing next to them, looked like a mentally retarded person. My so-called strong muscles were no match for the brains of these monsters.
"Then what should we do?" Zhan Mu came back and stopped interrupting, falling into deep silence. At the same time, he seemed to be learning to think and understand like them.
"Just treat it as trial and error. It's just a game after all. We still have a chance." Just as Lu Chao finished speaking, he saw An Jing, who had the fire attribute, with his hands in his pockets, stepping forward with an arrogant look on his face.
Yes, it is spinning, there is fire here, the sun is shining on the earth, it looks bright and brilliant, it is yang fire.
At the same time, the Vermillion Bird flew in the sky, making a joyful and happy phoenix cry. An Jing's attributes actually matched this plate. Not only could he move freely, but he was also recovering blood.
"Yang Fire?" Lu Chao muttered to himself, "Why? An Jing is a man, Yang, so it's natural. But Bian Lu is also a man, so why is he fixed in Yin Wood..."
"Yes, Bian Lu is a man, he should choose Yang Wood!" Zhan Mu clapped his hands, indicating that the problem lies here.
"I understand! Ah, I understand!" Bian Lu said, "Then brothers, we have to start a new game. Now Cheng Jiacheng and I are both on plates that don't belong to us, so we can't continue playing."
"I give up, this game is too difficult!" Cheng Jiacheng was in tears in the interface, and kept sending text messages to @Zhanmu: I don't give up, restart, restart, restart, restart, I won't be able to sleep if I can't get through this level today.
Zhan Mu smiled: "Okay, brothers and sisters."
