Chapter 378 Gods' Game: Little Painter 5
Yu Xunge had to use several speed-up skills to catch up. She discovered that the mist blade was searching around purposefully, not like it was searching for alien races, but rather it was looking for something else.
The same was true of the alien races they encountered on the road.
Finally, Wu Ren's eyes lit up, and he sped up. Yu Xunge looked into the distance and saw an oasis. She could also see a blue beam of light shooting straight into the sky at the southeast corner of the oasis.
The oasis was enormous, filled with trees, low houses, a market, and watchtowers, resembling a small city. Outside the oasis was a hemispherical transparent shield, where many alien races were already active with their pets. The moment Yu Xunge entered the shield, a notification sound rang in her ears.
—【Welcome to the safe zone. Attacks are prohibited in the safe zone.】
But there are two more sentences that follow.
[Beep—You have violated a game rule and will be subject to random divine punishment.]
[Divine Punishment complete; you have lost 4 points of Constitution.]
Yu Xunge stared at his left foot, which had just stepped into the oasis, lost in thought...
Mist Blade had already gone far away, and Yu Xunge hurriedly followed, heading straight to the center of the oasis. There stood a stone tablet with an 8-minute countdown on top and a message written on it.
[Game of Thrones]:
After the countdown ends, the safe zone will be completely sealed off and converted into a war zone.
Within the battle zone, players will be automatically divided into red and blue teams. Each team has one minute to decide their throne location. When the preparation time ends, the location of their flag bearer will be the throne location, and the game will officially begin.
[Winning condition for the red team: Plant your red flag on the opponent's throne]
[Winning condition for the blue team: Insert your blue flag into the opponent's throne]
The team is immediately defeated if the flag bearer dies.
The game lasts for 10 minutes per round. After each round, all players will be randomly assigned to different factions.
After winning three times, the player will be forced to leave the battle zone and will have one opportunity to translate one of their own game rules.
The game consists of five rounds. After each round, the battle zone will disappear within 2 minutes.
[Current number of players in this safe zone: 813]
She observed her surroundings and discovered that all the different races could read the words on the stone tablet, indicating that everyone saw different characters.
She tugged at Mistblade's sleeve, pointed to the stone tablet, and then began to count: 1? 2? 3? ... 9?
Fogblade shook his head and shrugged: I don't know how many there are.
Yu Xunge hesitated for a moment, but decided to stay anyway.
She encountered Fogblade not long after entering the battlefield, which was extremely lucky, but she would not forget the game's hint—the law of conservation of luck applies in the world battlefield.
This means that in the world of war, no one is lucky all the time, and no one is unlucky all the time. If you happen to be extremely lucky, it means that bad luck is about to follow.
So if she participates in this game, she is likely to encounter some bad luck, such as becoming the flag bearer.
This is the safest, but also the most dangerous, identity.
But she can't leave the safe zone either. At least within the safe zone, if she's unlucky, her teammates from other races will have to protect her if they want to win. But if she leaves the safe zone, she'll have no protection at all.
If it weren't for Fog Blade, she would have had a hard time finding the safe zone alive. Moreover, she also needed to know what her other two rules were.
After deciding on her next move, she no longer needed to stay with Mistblade. It would be awkward if they ended up on different teams later. After telling Mistblade, she took Tulan into the air and began to observe the terrain to determine escape and evasion routes, just like most players.
Many alien races ran off to watch the spectacle of the blue beam of light, but Yu Xunge didn't go. She was worried that it was her past self causing trouble...
Eight minutes passed quickly.
In the center of the oasis, a fiery meteorite shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air.
The game has begun.
A blue triangle appeared above Yu Xunge's head.
As she expected, a flagpole appeared behind her, with a blue flag hanging on it, the blue light of which shot straight into the sky!
She is the flag bearer for the blue team.
The moment the flag appeared, all the surrounding alien races turned to look.
Several strong members of the Blue Team rushed over immediately, pointing to the distance and telling her to follow them.
It's possible, but these powerful figures are pointing in different directions. Fortunately, none of them are the type to let pride ruin things at crucial moments. The strange-looking aliens exchanged glances; either they had detection skills, or they remembered the powerful figures on the leaderboard.
Soon, several of the alien races took a step back, relinquishing command to the 15th-tier expert.
Yu Xunge immediately followed the alien with the human body and scorpion tail, with the other aliens protecting them on either side.
One minute is up.
As soon as Yu Xunge entered a small house, a throne appeared beneath her feet. A blue beam of light shot out from the throne, reaching straight into the sky. She jumped off the throne and found that the blue beam of light on the banner behind her had not disappeared; instead, it moved with her.
She faced the alien races, waiting for them to escort her to their throne.
Just then, the player who had gone outside to investigate the Red Team returned. He was a purple-skinned humanoid creature. After entering the room, he didn't waste any words. He directly opened the leaderboard, made it public, pointed to one of the IDs, and then pointed outside.
It means that this person is on the red team.
Yu Xunge saw that name, and all the living beings in the room saw that name—the 19th-tier overlord, Shark Cold!
Yu Xunge: "..." It seems that being the flag bearer is truly unlucky.
All the alien races in the room looked at her with pity, which clearly meant they were giving up. However, a few of them seemed to remember something and their expressions suddenly changed.
She tried the ultimate version of the Illusion Spell, but it didn't work. Even when she became invisible, the blue pillar of light behind her remained lit, making it impossible to remove or hide. However, she did not stay there any longer and left the sand house.
Staying here is not an option. If Shark Leng had protected the Red Team's flag bearer and brought him here, these alien races, having made up their minds to give up, would not have made any futile struggles. Consequently, if the Red Team's alien races wanted to kill him, these Blue Team's alien races would not have protected him either.
The alien races did not stop Yu Xunge from leaving; only a novice would be so fearless. Once she understands the terror and madness of Shark Cold, she will realize that giving up is the wisest choice.
The game only truly begins when Shark Cold wins three times and leaves the safe zone.
They gave up on themselves, but Yu Xunge couldn't give up on himself so easily. Although he only needed to win three times to get the clues to the rules, this game only had five rounds. If he gave up in the first round, and something unexpected happened in the second round, would he give up again?
From the moment she entered this place, she was already in danger. Either way, she was going to die, so she had to give it a try.
The only option might be to go back to the past. She thought of the blue beam of light she saw when she first entered the safe zone... It seemed that it really was her past self.
