Chapter 124
By snatching snowmen from others, Qingyao's team's points soared to first place and successfully advanced.
Zongheng Sihai, who had originally had a good chance of entering the top ten, fell out of the top 10 after losing four Golden Balls in succession and missed the subsequent qualifying round.
The members of Zongheng Sihai were so angry watching from the sidelines that they all rushed to the referee NPC and said that the person who had just competed with Qingyao was cheating!
"We stole their points! They don't count!"
"We got the snowman first, so the points from it should be ours!"
The members were clamoring and demanding an explanation from the referee.
However, the referee looked at them calmly and said only one sentence: "Qingyao's actions are completely in line with the rules of the competition. Her ranking will be retained."
The man who traveled all over the world felt a bang on his head.
Damn! If I had known earlier, I would have gone and grabbed other people’s balls!
The members were very unwilling, but due to the rules, they still gritted their teeth and walked off the field. The other teams that advanced looked at them sympathetically, then turned around and began to remind the people in their own team.
"Family members, be careful of those who come up to Qingyao, especially that Mo Se. Don't let her steal our points!"
Everyone clenched their fists: "Okay!"
Duang~With the sound of gongs and drums, the second round of competition begins!
Compared with the first round, the difficulty of the second round has increased significantly. For example, the snowmen with score balls hidden in their bodies actually moved in this round.
When dead things become living things, the requirements for the contestants are now higher.
The teams that had been doing well in the first round had their rhythm completely disrupted. They wanted to chase this snowman, then changed their strategy to catch that one. As a result, they went around in circles for several minutes and didn't get a single point.
"Oh my, these three teams are no good. How come they didn't catch a single snowman?"
"It's really worrying to watch. Can't they just keep an eye on one and then work together to catch it?"
"Never mind, these three have completely fallen behind. Let's look at other teams."
This is how competition works. Once you can't keep up and fall too far behind, you will soon be abandoned by the audience.
There are 7 teams competing for the top three spots, and the competition is becoming increasingly heated.
"Laughing till my face is paralyzed, Bobo Chicken, 2 o'clock!"
"There are two at 9 o'clock, speed up and chase them!"
Half of the time passed in the blink of an eye. For Laughing and Bobo Chicken, who had rowed two rounds in a row, their physical strength was greatly exhausted. Seeing that the boat speed could not keep up, Xia Mo suddenly suggested changing people.
Ripe tomatoes and salad with meat sauce were replaced, and the boat's speed increased visibly.
The snowman was about to be caught up by them, and just when Xia Mo was about to grab it, suddenly, a spring hand stretched out from not far away, and with a click, grabbed the snowman that was close at hand.
"Oh my god! This is cheating!" Ripe Tomato yelled while rowing. "Aren't outside props allowed in?"
Xia Mo looked at the retracted spring hand and the person holding it, his expression slightly stunned, and then said: "That is not an off-site prop, it is inside the field."
"Ah?" Ripe Tomato was surprised, and the others were also stunned.
Xia Mo had no choice but to point at the holographic panel floating above the arena: "Look at the team called [Zhulin Tingfeng], there's an extra cartoon hand icon behind them, which means they've opened a prop on the field."
"Is this possible?!" The ripe tomato was shocked.
Indeed, Xia Mo was also surprised just now, but when he recalled the rules, various scoring balls might appear in the snowman, so naturally, non-scoring props might also appear.
It’s just that their Qingyaozhishang has never come out.
After realizing this, Ripe Tomato paddled even harder, fearing that they would be slow to act and the snowman would be snatched away by the other party.
Xia Mo was also on guard. As soon as she found Zhulin Tingfeng and his group nearby, she immediately turned the ripe tomato around and turned the ice boat sideways to block them, so that the spring hand could not reach out to take the snowman.
Of course, if they insist on crossing the river, then they can just wait for her to grab them and use them for her own purposes!
I have to say, this trick really works against them.
After several consecutive failures, Zhuye Tingfeng's men had to give up on Qingyao and instead attack other teams.
However, even so, Qingyaozhishang is still hovering on the edge of winning or not winning the prize. If they catch fewer snowmen, the points growth will slow down and their ranking will go down. The score is very close.
"It would be nice if we could also get a prop..."
Yun Yao sighed as she reached out to grab the little snowman that passed by.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly shouted in surprise: "Ahhh, I got the prop!!!"
"What? What prop is it?" others asked hurriedly.
The little snowman disappeared from her palm, and then a round black object appeared.
"Throw it away! It's a bomb!"
Xia Mo was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the thing in his hand and threw it with all his strength!
Bang!
The bomb exploded in mid-air, shaking the ice surface so much that it even trembled slightly.
"Oh damn, it's a good thing we threw it away quickly!" Ripe Tomato watched with lingering fear. "If it had exploded in the boat, we'd all be dead."
He laughed until his face was paralyzed and joked: "Sister Yunyao, you might as well accept Mo Se as your master. I think you two have comparable luck~"
Two pairs of eyes looked at him coldly.
Latiao Xiaohuahua rolled her eyes at him: "Has the Golden Ball been announced yet? How dare you criticize others when it hasn't been announced yet?"
Laughing until his face is paralyzed: "Okay, I'll shut up."
A real man can bend and stretch, it doesn't matter╮(╯_╰)╭
With only one minute left, Qingyaozhishang's ranking was still stuck at fourth. Everyone realized that if they continued to be lucky like this, they wouldn't even be able to make it into the top three, let alone get the golden battle flag!
Xia Mo narrowed her eyes, then immediately stood up and jumped towards the ice boat next to her. After landing on the other boat, she rushed all the way to the bow, using the momentum to make another leap diagonally forward, successfully jumping onto the second ice boat!
Because she appeared so suddenly, the people on the ice boat didn't react in time and were all stunned for two seconds. It was these two seconds that gave her the opportunity to use their boat to catch all three snowmen who were originally far away from Qingyao!
After fishing out something from someone else's land, Xia Mo turned around and ran away.
However, this time she did not run straight towards Qingyao, but once again used someone else's boat as a springboard and jumped onto the new boat with a whoosh.
Without any pause, she jumped up and started to fish out the snowmen nearby. After she finished fishing on this side, she jumped to the other side to continue fishing, just like a bandit coming down the mountain, robbing wherever she went.
Her actions were even more terrifying than the first round when she only bullied one boat.
She instantly threw the field into chaos. The third place winner was so angry at being used as a springboard by her that he paddled his boat to chase her. However, the rower was only staring at her and didn't look around. With a bang, their boat rushed into the land of Dazhong Island, and everyone on the boat was eliminated!
The rules stipulate that players' feet are not allowed to touch the lake surface during the game, and ice boats are not allowed to go ashore, otherwise it will be considered a violation.
Xia Mo didn't let herself fall into the lake, so the referee couldn't judge her as violating the rules.
The teams that were used as springboards by her were furious, but Xia Mo didn't take it to heart at all. She jumped back with a bunch of little snowmen in her arms.
"Tear it down quickly, it's almost too late!"
As soon as she got back on the boat, she hurriedly urged everyone to make a snowman.
Everyone on the boat was busy working, and the 10-second countdown started at this time.
10, 9, 8...
[White ball +1, points +1]
[White ball +1, points +1]
[White ball +1, points +1]
Xia Mo opened 3 snowmen in a row, and as expected, all of them were white balls! ! ! !
She shuddered deeply and felt completely unwell.
I'm afraid there is no hope now. They are still 106 points away from the first place and 50 points away from the second place. Now the snowman has only 5 balls left. Even if all 5 are golden balls, they will only be on par with the second place.
She thought regretfully that she couldn't get the golden battle flag.
At this moment, Yun Yao opened a red ball, and the score was +6 points. The smiling face paralyzed girl opened a pink ball, and the score was +3 points... All four snowmen opened colored balls.
There’s only one left!
The countdown has also entered the last 3 seconds.
Xia Mo looked at Latiao Xiaohuahua, originally intending to let the latter come, because Xiaohuahua had the best luck in this snowman game.
Although they can't even get the second place at the moment, Xia Mo still hopes that Xiaohuahua can bloom a golden ball to make a beautiful ending for this event.
Unexpectedly, Latiao Xiaohuahua stuffed the snowman back into her hands and said, "You stole the snowman, you open it."
Time was running out, so Xia Mo had to take on the finishing task himself.
A ball appeared in her palm.
But the strange thing is that this ball has many colors, white, yellow, red, purple...
Everyone on the boat was stunned: "Colorful ball? What is this?"
When the countdown ended, there was a sudden commotion outside the venue. Xia Mo raised his head and looked at the floating panel above his head. He saw that 100 points were suddenly added after [Qingyao goes straight up]!
After adding these 100, they are exactly tied with the first-place Black Domain Kingdom.
So... colored balls can add 100 points? ! !
Xia Mo stared at her hands in disbelief, unable to believe that this was the good fortune she could have created???
In fact, the colored balls can indeed add 100 points, but this is a hidden part of the game. The rules don’t specifically indicate this, and the main point is a surprise!
It was a real surprise.
Upon learning that she had suddenly won first place, Qingyao went straight up and started celebrating on the spot!
However, their joy barely lasted two seconds when the referee suddenly spoke, "Because two teams are tied for first place in this match, to determine the final winner, an extra match will be held! The extra match will be decided by drawing lots. Both teams, please consult among yourselves and send a representative to draw lots within one minute."
Qingyao went straight up: Ah?
Black Domain Kingdom: Damn!
