Chapter 125
Xia Mo didn’t know what the Black Domain Kingdom was feeling right now, she only knew that Qingyao came up to her and was speechless!
It was all for nothing.
"Are you sending someone or us?"
Time was urgent, so Heiyu Qingtian didn't say much and asked them directly.
Qingshui made a gesture of invitation: "You guys."
Yun Yao exclaimed, "Brother, let Xiao Huahua draw, she's lucky~"
Qingshui glanced at her calmly: "No matter how lucky you are, there will be mistakes. What if the extra game you draw is really bad, won't it all be blamed on us? But if it was them who drew it..."
Qingshui didn't say the rest of the words, but Yunyao and a few others slowly opened their eyes, as if these words were not something someone like Qingshui would say.
Behind the crowd, a ripe tomato covered her mouth and whispered to the person next to her, "I never thought that even the moral model President Shimizu would be so cunning one day~"
Xia Mo was standing in front of the ripe tomatoes when she heard these words. She looked at Qingshui with some amusement. For the first time, she felt that he was finally not like an immortal who was detached from the world, but a mortal with flesh and blood and his own selfish interests.
Finally, the Black Domain Kingdom sent their vice president, White-Faced Ghost, to draw lots.
There were more than twenty wooden sticks in the wooden tube. The white-faced ghost blew into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, and finally touched one of them.
"The draw is complete. Now, the venue and content of the extra round will be announced." The referee took back the wooden sticks and announced in a serious tone, "Extra round venue: Kerguire Swamp. Extra round content: Loach catching."
Everyone: Huh???
The scene before his eyes changed, and everyone was teleported to the competition venue. The onlookers who had been watching earlier also chose [Continue to Watch] when asked by the system, and were then teleported over one by one.
Looking at the mud in the swamp, Yun Yao was the first to frown: "It's so dirty, I don't want to step in the mud!"
Qingshui: "It's okay if we don't step on it. We'll just lose one more fighter."
Yun Yao: ...TT wuwu, let her step on it.
There was 1 minute of preparation time before the game. Xia Mo quickly scanned the field, hoping to see if he could come up with some simple tactics. However, he found that this extra game was almost equivalent to a personal show, and there was no requirement for team cooperation.
Everyone just needs to wear plastic boots and plastic gloves, keep catching loaches in the mud, and throw them into the backpack behind them. At the end of the game, pour them out and count them. Finally, calculate the points according to the loach species. The team with the highest points wins.
Compared to team competitions that require mutual cooperation, Xia Mo obviously feels more comfortable with this individual field.
As the gongs and drums sounded, everyone rushed into the mud like fish in water. Even Yun Yao, who had initially disliked mud, now ignored the dirt and stench, and bent over to try her best to catch the fish in the mud.
Xia Mo was not to be outdone and ran straight towards the reed field.
The surface of the loach is too slippery, and it is lubricated by mud, so sometimes it is easy to miss even if you catch it. In order to ensure the catch rate, she first chooses a place with reeds so that the loach cannot run around freely, and she can also catch the loach with the help of the reeds.
It turns out that this strategy is indeed feasible.
Those dark creatures could no longer move freely in the mud, and eventually became her points and were mercilessly thrown into her backpack.
But it’s still not enough.
Looking up at the panel above the arena, they saw that Qingyao's data kept rising, but the Black Domain Kingdom was no less powerful than them. Almost every time they blinked, the total number of loaches in their team increased significantly.
I really tried my best.
Then she tried her best.
Xia Mo aimed at the loach not far away, stretched out his hand, and was about to hold the loach in his palm, when suddenly, whoosh, the loach was caught by the other hand!
She raised her eyes unhappily and found that it was the vice president opposite, White-faced Ghost.
"Hey, thank you for the loach~"
He said this with a grin, throwing the loach into the backpack with a look of recklessness on his face.
Xia Mo narrowed his eyes, said nothing, turned around and went into the reeds to continue searching.
Talking nonsense with the enemy would only waste her precious time, and she was not so naive as to do that.
Spotting the new loach, she bent down again to scoop it up, but unexpectedly, a hand interrupted her and snatched the loach that was supposed to fall into her hand away.
Once could be considered a coincidence, but twice wouldn't be possible, right?
Xia Mo's brows darkened: "Get out of the way."
The white-faced ghost still had a playful smile on his face: "This is a competition field, why should I give in?"
That's right, Xia Mo suddenly turned from gloomy to smiling, slowly pulling up the corners of his mouth: "Then I won't be polite~"
As she said that, she kicked the backpack on the white-faced ghost's back. The backpack was originally carried on the back and was not fixed. After she kicked it so hard, the bamboo basket flew out instantly!
Crash——!
All the loaches in the basket were kicked out and fell into the mud.
The white-faced ghost widened his eyes: "My loach!!"
Xia Mo sneered: "Now, it belongs to me."
As she said this, she rushed forward, grabbed all the loaches that had not yet swam away between her fingers, and then threw them behind her. At least a dozen loaches were snatched away by her.
I had wanted to follow her and pick up points for free, but this time, I not only didn't get any points, but the ones I had were also taken away from me. It was really a complete loss!
The white-faced ghost stared at her intently, wanting to retaliate by kicking over her backpack. However, when he saw that the other party was ready to PK with him, he instantly became weak.
Forget it, White-Faced Ghost warned herself, if she was really pushed into a corner, she would definitely beat him to death on the field!
In order to protect himself, he finally had to shrink his neck and leave in disgrace.
Xia Mo also stopped fighting and quickened his pace to catch the loach.
The 3 minutes passed quickly and the 10-second countdown began.
In this final moment when the tension was so great that no one dared to breathe, everyone's nerves were on edge.
"Qingshui, there's another one at your feet, catch it!"
"Bobo Chicken, behind you! Behind you!"
"Come on everyone, there are only a few seconds left, don't give up!"
Xia Mo lowered his head and groped frantically in the mud.
In fact, their pace of catching loaches was not slow at all, and overall, they were even more aggressive than the Black Domain Kingdom. But don't forget, the other side was also a well-trained top guild, and their loach catching skills were no less impressive.
Although judging from the total number of loaches counted on the panel, they are temporarily slightly inferior to me, but who knows who will be the winner until the last moment?
So I must not slack off!
839, 840, 841...
Catch more, catch more!
Holding their energy, everyone heading straight for Qingyao buried their heads and worked hard, not letting go of any opportunity.
At this moment, Xia Mo suddenly touched a loach that felt different. She grabbed it and found it was white!
[Obtain rare white loach, points +50]
50!!!
Everyone stared with wide eyes and was overjoyed!
Now it’s settled, Qingyao will definitely win!
Duang! With the sound of gongs and drums, the competition came to an end. The two teams walked up to the referee and poured the loaches in their backpacks into the large basket in front of them.
Crackle, clackle——
The baskets on both sides were soon filled to the brim.
Qingyao Zhishang's people stood nearby, their faces unable to conceal their joy, but Xia Mo stared at the basket of the Black Domain Kingdom, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Indeed, she kicked over the white-faced ghost's backpack and easily grabbed more than ten fish. Together with the white loach at the back, they should be safe if nothing unexpected happens.
But Xia Mo believed in his sixth sense and his own judgment. At this moment, the people of the Black Domain Kingdom were looking at them leisurely, with expressions and postures, as if they were expecting their wonderful reactions after being slapped in the face.
"Don't be too happy yet."
Seeing that everyone's hearts were getting uneasy, she spoke at the right time to ask everyone to stay calm.
After a few seconds, the system automatically counts the number of loaches caught by both parties.
A total of 887 loaches were caught at Qingyaozhishang (12 of which died and 875 survived).
851 black common loaches, 23 dark green high-quality loaches, and 1 white rare loach, for a total of 851*1+23*5+1*50=1016 points!
A total of 756 loaches were caught in the Black Domain Kingdom (9 died and 747 survived).
691 black common loaches, 48 dark green high-quality loaches, and 8 white rare loaches, for a total of 691*1+48*5+8*50=1331 points!
[In this extra match, the Black Domain Kingdom wins! ]
"ah???"
Looking at the result announced by the referee, everyone who went up to Qingyao was stunned.
"1331 points, much higher than ours..." Yun Yao tilted her neck and kept comparing the data on both sides.
After the comparison, she hung her head in frustration. "The Black Domain Kingdom catches far more high-quality and rare loaches than we do. We really can't catch up..."
Spicy Tiao Xiaohuahua also sighed: "They are so lucky, they actually dug up 8 rare loaches. We really can't compare to them."
Even with her red hand, she can't beat everyone else who is so lucky.
For a while, everyone was in a low mood.
Seeing this, he walked over and patted everyone on the shoulder: "Oh, it's okay. If you can't get first place, you're still second! Why do you look like you didn't win the prize? Cheer up! Second place is also very impressive, right?"
You should know that there were more than 200 teams that signed up for this event. It was quite impressive that Qingyao Zhishang was able to defeat 198 teams and become the second among them!
"That's what you say, but the second place doesn't have a golden battle flag..." Yun Yao still pouted, looking at the Black Domain Kingdom with envy in her eyes.
Just at this moment, the white-faced ghost also cast a look at them. Although he didn't say a word, from his arrogant expression, it can be seen how proud he is.
Xia Mo gritted his teeth.
She knew her intuition was right! Looking at the Black Domain Kingdom's calm demeanor, they had clearly known they were going to win.
Although she felt a little annoyed, she quickly adjusted. Isn't that how games work? There are winners and losers. In the world of hegemony, no one dares to claim to be invincible. In fact, it's normal for fortunes to change.
Moreover, Qingyaozhishang is not such a guild with no grace that it can’t even afford to lose a competition.
After receiving the reward, Xia Mo saw Qingshui take the initiative to walk up to the people of the Black Domain Kingdom and extended his hand: "Congratulations, you got first place."
Hei Yu Qing Tian looked at him, a rare peaceful smile appearing on his usually cold face: "Thank you, you are not bad either."
Regardless of whether it was sincere words or a compliment, at least from Heiyu Qingtian's attitude, it can be seen that they were not averse to Qingyao going straight up.
This is a subtle signal to other guilds.
You have to know that with the strength of the Black Domain Kingdom, there is no need to show goodwill to other guilds. Even if they have a stern face every day, there are many guilds behind them who want to cooperate with them.
However, the Black Domain Kingdom has not yet formed an alliance with any guild. When some spectators outside the venue thought of this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as they were relieved, the next second, they heard Hei Yu Qing Tian suddenly speak: "How are you thinking about forming an alliance with us?"
Ever since I mentioned it to Mo Se last time at Blade's Edge Fjord, I haven't seen Qing Yaozhishang show any expression.
It is indeed no small matter for Heiyu Qingtian to think about forming an alliance, and it is understandable that Qingyao Zhishang and others would give it more consideration, but this consideration... is it too long?
It has been more than two months, could it be that they still have any concerns?
He didn't like things being out of his control, so taking advantage of this rare meeting opportunity, Heiyu Qingtian decided to get to the bottom of it.
But as soon as he finished asking the question, everyone in the room was like: ???
Alliance? What alliance? Alliance with the first guild, the Black Domain Kingdom? Meow, meow, they heard right!
Not only those outside the venue, but also everyone inside the venue was stunned.
Qingshui was also stunned for a moment, but it was only for a short while after all, so he managed his expression much more calmly than the others.
"I haven't heard of any alliance," he replied calmly.
Heiyu Qingtian raised his eyebrows.
Suddenly, he seemed to know something, snorted and laughed, his eyes fell on someone in the crowd.
Feeling the gaze coming at him, Xia Mo quickly turned his head away and looked at the sky, pretending that he saw nothing.
Don't ask, the only thing you'll find is that she has completely forgotten about the alliance!
