Chapter 143: Update 1 + Update 2 (bug fix) Players lead the elimination group to meet...
“Ugh—Ugh! U ...
His face was pale, his expression was struggling and distorted. No matter how hard he tried to cover his mouth, he couldn't control the mosaic rainbow that came out when he opened his mouth.
“…I can’t drink any more. I really can’t drink any more.”
U17 training camp base, training pitch,
Having been selected as one of the promoted group, Marui Bunta was breathing in more than out, struggling to crawl out with his hands on the ground.
Door—Where is the door?! This is seriously not a place for humans!
Wuuuuu Sangyuan, please come back soon - I can't accept the days without you -!
Singing sad songs in my heart, after all, true sadness can never be felt.
If you want to cry, look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and the tears will not flow from the corners of your eyes.
Marui's mind was constantly flooded with endless non-mainstream quotes, but even so, they could not cover up the great sadness at the moment.
What kind of life is this?!
From the time when the smiling tiger coach Saito announced that everyone had to return eight balls simultaneously to pass,
The real nightmare begins.
"…Are you okay, Niou?"
Even though he was still panting, he did not forget to care about his teammates. Yukimura Seiichi wiped the sweat off his face and squeezed out his words in the gaps between returning the ball.
“…”
With difficulty, he raised a finger from the rubble and shook it, indicating that he was still alive. Niou Masaharu's expression was bitter, and the smile he usually wore was now impossible to force out.
They are so inhuman...are these guys beasts? ! !
The qualifying group left behind by the U17 training camp is the winner group.
There are 75 high school students and 25 junior high school students. After the smiling tiger coach Saito Shi announced the "today's goal", on average one junior high school student will play against three high school students at the same time.
1V3 is fine, but normally it is a gradual process, patiently feeding the ball - from one ball, two balls, three balls, and so on, slowly rising until the final goal of eight,
This is what a mature, reliable, considerate and caring senior looks like! !
Why are these high school students here just throwing eight balls without blinking an eye?!
Yukimura's smile was still polite at first, but when he turned around, eight bright bomb balls came straight at his face, shattering his politeness, courtesy, and gentleness.
Especially Yukimura, even though he had mobilized all his reflexes and concentration to clench his racket and hit back——
The racket opened and closed violently and suddenly swung upwards, one, two, three... five, six, seven...
Yukimura's heart sank. He missed one! !
In a flash, the ball hit my feet directly, leaving me no time to turn around and make amends. In the blink of an eye,
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM — BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
Fire flashed, sparks flew, explosions and exclamations rang out,
This scene was happening in every corner of the venue at the same time.
The high school students who served in groups of three did not panic at all after seeing the junior high school students explode. They even discussed the junior high school students' current strength with ease.
"This kid over here is pretty good. He caught five at once on his first try."
"Haha, yours is only five—but this guy here already has six."
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. It's only six, but this guy here caught seven at once. How's that? Not bad, right?"
"So powerful?? Then he can pass the level very quickly. Let me see who this guy is——"
Yamato Yudai, holding his racket, curiously pushed aside the shoulder of the person next to him and looked at it carefully.
"Oh, sorry, haha... it seems like everyone has exploded into charcoal, and I can't tell who is who for a moment!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry—stop bragging and give these guys resurrection coins!"
Resurrection, being blown to death, resurrection again, being blown to death again,
Resurrected again, and killed again.
The silent junior high school students fell into a trance of repeated life and death, their lives hanging by a thread, and a sense of emptiness filled their brains and bodies.
But, even so, the eight unshakable bomb balls still ran towards them happily!
"—Hey guys over there, don't even think about slacking off! I told you that your goal today is for everyone to return eight balls, and you can't stop until you do!!"
"That's right—don't betray the head coach's trust in you. Damn it, damn it! I really want the head coach to trust me like that!"
Atobe Keigo swung his racket mechanically: "?"
What? What are you talking about?
Who can trust you? Are you sure?
Have these guys become masochists now?
Suddenly sensing the sound of a high-speed impact from the ball, he turned around without hesitation, twisted his waist, and pulled his racket to hit the ball hard.
One, two, three...six, seven!!
The same thing happened on the seventh ball. Atobe Keigo put all his energy into catching the ball and had no time to focus on defense.
——Without a doubt, he was hit hard by the bomb ball that went straight to his face.
"Haha, sorry~ It seems that this is still a little tricky."
Smiling, Irie Kanata casually held up the racket and gestured innocently towards Keigo Atobe who was blown into a black man.
"You still have to keep working hard, Atobe-kun."
“…”
The gorgeous Hyotei's KING swallowed the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers that were in his mouth.
Having gradually gotten used to going through fire and dirt, Atobe Keigo, whose skin and bones were blown to pieces, remained silent. He just dug himself out of the dirt with great difficulty and struggled to move to the "Gui Juice" distribution point.
Coincidentally, Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was also blown into a black man, also spawned here.
Here the destined rivals met—looking at each other,
If it weren't for the familiar aura and eyes, I wouldn't even be able to recognize who the black person opposite me was.
"Hehehe, even if I get blown up, I'll still be the most gorgeous—"
Atobe Keigo smiled softly and lifted the hair on his forehead with his slender knuckles.
In theory, it is possible.
But Tezuka, who was watching from the sidelines, watched in silence as Hyotei's KING, who had inhaled too much dust from the explosion, started coughing after a few "hehehe" sounds.
By the way, because the explosion was so fierce, not only did my forehead become hairy, but I was almost burned bald by the flames. I touched it with my hand, but it was empty.
Tezuka considerately remained silent, respecting Atobe's predicament, and only slowly adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
He stretched out his hand and touched loneliness.
Only then did I realize that the glasses lens was broken into pieces, and now only half of the frame was left hanging on my face with great difficulty.
How tragic it is.
Two brothers in trouble face each other, they can't laugh, they can't laugh at all,
Saito Shi, who was at the 'Gui Juice' distribution point, noticed that both of them were able to hit more than six balls on their first try.
"Hmm, it's worth paying special attention to."
Thinking of this, Saito Miyabi smiled and took the full cup of "Gui Juice" with full of "lovingness" and handed it to the two key people of attention enthusiastically.
"Come on, you're welcome——please use it~"
Atobe and Tezuka, who actually wanted to be polite: "..."
'Gui Juice', a terrifying drink that will strike your soul every time you drink it, no matter how many times you drink it.
This thing doesn't bear careful consideration. Once you think about its origin, function, and creator...
Atobe Keigo and Tezuka Kunimitsu felt a chill on their spines as a reflex.
I have already guessed that the most accomplished head coach of this U17 training camp is Kei Yagi from Rikkai University.
Therefore, I feel that the future is even darker.
But the only thing we can be thankful for now is that the culprit does not seem to be at the U17 training camp base, otherwise it would not be the smiling tiger coach Saito Shi who is here to preside over the overall situation according to the training goals.
If I think about it this way, where on earth did Yagi go at this moment...
“…”
"...I have a bad feeling about this."
"...Me too, Atobe."
The two looked at each other and simultaneously thought of the bus that carried the 196 eliminated people down the mountain.
"They are going down the mountain normally now, right?"
“…”
“…”
Trembling heart, trembling hands,
Worried about his teammates whose lives were unknown, Tezuka Kunimitsu forced himself to calm down and drank a glass of wine.
Facing the complicated gaze of Atobe Keigo, she remained calm and gulped down the Keiji Juice.
Holding the broken frame of his glasses, Tezuka Kunimitsu returned the paper cup with a blank expression, "Don't drink carelessly, Atobe."
“…”
God damn, don't drink carelessly.
"Gui, Gui... juice..."
As Keigo Atobe was about to say something while holding the paper cup, he lowered his head and his left and right feet were grabbed tightly.
Looking closely, I saw Kuroishi Kuranosuke on the left, and Mokutan Nagashiro on the right, wait, why was there Tachibana Yoshii dragging behind them?
His lips were dry and trembling, and he used up the last bit of his strength to cry out for life from his throat.
Kuroishi Kuranosuke stretched out his hand with difficulty, "Give me poison...poison..."
Atobe Keigo: “…”
It’s over. Someone was so shocked that he lost his mind.
With the help of Tezuka Kunimitsu, Atobe Keigo successfully gave each of the three people a glass of Keijuice.
Witnessing Kuroishi Kuranosuke's gorgeous whitening, Botan Eishiro regaining his hands, and Tachibana Yoshiki finally escaping danger,
The side effects are a bit severe, and I look even less alert than before.
After finally regaining his sanity, Shiraishi Kuranosuke realized that he was COSing a gibbon that could fly up and down the sky. He left the stage in shame and returned to the other party's side.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he finally revealed what he was most concerned about at the moment, "I don't know...how Xiao Jin and the others are doing now, and whether they have returned to Shitenbao Temple safely..."
That's impossible, that's definitely impossible, brother.
The smiling Yukimura, the silent Tezuka and the twitching Atobe wanted to tell the truth.
But seeing that not only Shiraishi, but also Tachibana Yoshihei of Fudomine, Kide Nagashiro of Higa and others all expressed deep concern and envy for their teammates,
Concern accounts for 10%, while the yearning for a healthy, safe and positive daily human life is a full 90%.
Some even whispered, "If I had known that I would be bombed to death if I stayed, I would have just followed them down the mountain..."
"Um……"
My mind was slightly moved, but I still couldn't bear to burst such a beautiful idea.
According to everyone's understanding of Jibaimao, they would never let it go so easily.
They're all like this, so what about the eliminated group going down the mountain...
For a moment, I didn't know whether I was being bombarded by eight bombs, then by milk, and then by bombs again.
They are even more miserable as they are jumping back and forth between the gates of hell.
The future is still uncertain, and the group going down the mountain is even worse off with the biggest behind-the-scenes boss, Jibaimao, watching over them.
After all, except for Rikkai University, the other members of the downhill team may not realize that Jibaimao is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
And even if they realize it, the seemingly sober Rikkai University still has die-hard fans who push it alone.
Judging from that guy's personality... he will definitely mislead everyone.
Yukimura Seiichi slowly put his arm around his shoulders and tried to pull up the coat he had draped over them. The more he thought about it, the colder he felt.
What people say is really scary, what people say is really scary...
Wait, where's his coat?
Yukimura searched for a long time but only found a piece of tattered cloth.
I lowered my head and realized belatedly that there was no coat left.
As early as eight hundred years ago, the coat was blown into pieces by eight bombs!
Yukimura, who was already tormented to the point of no return, said: "Ah..."
He sighed and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his gaze drifting away in the direction where the eliminated group was heading down the mountain.
Now... I can only pray that Genichirō and the others can stay rational and sober.
Don't be like Akaya, who was sold out by Kei and still helped count the money...
“…”
“—A-choo!!”
There was a pitch-black silence, and suddenly a sneeze startled everyone in the elimination group, who were already on edge, and frightened them so much that they almost took off from the spot.
“——What happened!!”
"Is there an enemy attack? Where is it?!"
"Don't be afraid - I have a mineral ball, come towards me!!!"
A single sneeze triggered numerous reactions. It was no wonder that everyone was tense. It was just that the situation was too serious.
After Kirihara Akaya suggested giving the unconscious people "Gui Juice", although it sounded like poisoning them at first glance, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no better way.
Bucket after bucket of juice was consumed, and the survivors who had retained their sanity waited patiently...
With a "Shua", the people lying dead suddenly jumped on the spot, completely ignoring the obstacles of the terrain, and performed a passionate and enthusiastic parkour of hot-blooded men in the mine right under the noses of the survivors!
Those who ran closer were fine, still wandering around like monkeys on this floor.
The one who ran far away - disappeared into the darkness without noticing!
The moment he realized that something was wrong, he stretched out his hand to try to stop the opponent but was still a beat too late. As he looked at the figures going away, including players from Seigaku, Hyotei, Shitenhoji, Fudomine, and many other schools, he was choked up.
One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises,
This incident caught everyone, who were already in a difficult situation, off guard.
Kirihara sneezed again and looked blankly at the chaotic scene and the members of the eliminated team who were running in all directions.
After a long time, he slowly met the eyes of Sanada Genichirō, whose face had become so dark that it could completely blend into the shadows of the mine.
Kirihara Akaya: "...Hey, Vice Minister Sanada, what should we do now?"
This was also the first time that Sanada encountered such a situation. He was helpless for a short time but quickly regained his composure and became the backbone.
“…”
"We must find them,"
Genichirō Sanada has the demeanor of a great general, fearless in the face of danger.
“Yes, yes…”
Kirihara Aka also reacted for a moment, then turned his head away, didn't move, and pondered for a while.
After a while, Haitou turned around and hesitated towards Sanada Genichirō.
"Eh... Vice Minister Sanada..."
Judging from his expression, Sanada Genichirō guessed that Kirihara might feel guilty for suggesting that he drink Kei's juice, and his eyes moved slightly.
Although I'm not good at doing this, the situation is urgent now, and he has agreed to it. Even if something goes wrong, he will bear the responsibility together.
Sanada pursed his lips, dry words of comfort already lingering on the tip of his tongue, just waiting to come out——
Kirihara Akaye scratched his kelp head, raised his small eyes, and spoke with great sincerity.
"Um, Vice Minister Sanada, I just sneezed twice—"
He was a little embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to say:
"So - could it be that Kei is thinking about us?!"
"——Kyu is thinking about us!"
"—Miss us!"
“——A!”
The echoes rolled away like waves.
Silence, dead silence. For a moment, only Kirihara Akaya's voice kept echoing and repeating in the mine.
All of a sudden, all the fear, tension, panic and confusion were suppressed and suppressed under a brief calm.
Even Oishi Hideichiro, who watched everyone scattered and run away in a mess, gradually became calm and blank.
After a pause, he turned around and gave a sincere and caring suggestion to the Rikkai University students who had stood still, forming several stiff black shadows.
"Sanada-kun, if we can get out alive... take him to see it soon, okay?"
Very tactful, without naming anyone, and completely from the heart.
“…”
Sanada tugged at his hat, and after a long while, he pulled the corner of his mouth and reluctantly responded.
Jack Kuwabara and Yagyu Hiroshi, who were also present at the scene, looked up at the sky and down at the ground respectively, and at this moment they really wanted to crawl into the ceiling or underground.
Kirihara Akaya waited expectantly for a long time but received no response, so he had no choice but to help the people who were hit to their feet while mumbling.
There are more important things at the moment. After a brief moment of emotion, everyone shifted their attention to finding the missing members of the eliminated group.
Fortunately, the main players of several major schools are still there. After counting the number of people who have gone missing, except for the little cat that was lost at the beginning, other schools have also lost some people, even the U17 native high school students have some missing people.
"...It seems that we can only explore further down."
Chiseling off the torch on the wall, Oishi Hideichiro walked into the darkness holding it to illuminate the area, and saw clearly that it was the entrance to the black cave that appeared again in the darkness.
Everyone's expression was not relaxed.
"Then let's go down now. The situation is critical. Xiao Jin is missing. We can't wait any longer. The sooner the better—!"
Ken Oshitani was also thinking about launching an action immediately.
But as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Sanada Genichirō, who was squatting at the entrance of the hole with his racket outstretched.
Kenya Oshitari, who was confused, said: "Sanada-kun, is it...?"
Zhenti Genichirō stood up, his face calm, "Before going down, there are still some preparations to make."
What does being prepared mean?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Looking back again——
The Rikkai group, led by Genichirō Sanada, had already raised their rackets and each had found the ore in the mine. After taking a deep breath, they suddenly raised their eyes.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! ! ! "
"Kang-kang-kang-kang-kang!!"
'Boom boom boom boom boom!'
The wooden racket in my hand suddenly came into contact with the incomparably hard ore without any obstruction.
Then, a high-speed friction sound of "sizzling" was emitted, which made one's teeth ache and ears ring!
For a moment, everyone was stunned at the scene, sparks and stone chips flew everywhere, and under the "buzz buzz buzz buzz" sound, a stone ball... no, a mineral ball shot out from the edge of the racket.
The human eye could barely keep up with the speed of the Rikkai University students swinging their rackets to mine. Afterimages overlapped, and it seemed that they were about to lose track.
However, for the people from Rikkai University who were mining, this was just a drizzle!
After all, they had actually seen with their own eyes how the younger generation used the racket as if it were his own arm, spinning it at a speed that was inconceivable to the naked eye. Almost every few seconds a tree fell, and in a moment of daze, a whole forest fell before their eyes!
Thinking about it this way...
They have really become gui !!
For a moment, several people felt complicated, but facing the current serious situation, it was too late to mourn for themselves who had been subtly influenced and shaped to the point where they could never return to their former selves.
Now arriving at the scene is Rikkai University, with all the members of Kei taking over!
Looking at this truly normal situation, a scene that normal people could hardly understand, the elimination group members were completely silent and daunted.
But now is not a normal situation. After experiencing the bomb attack, the slime melee, and the angry mineral balls, everyone has gradually left the scope of normal people.
When these two aspects are combined, the focus is successfully shifted!
——The mineral balls they used to attack the Slime King just now, so this is where they came from!!
It was like an epiphany, and I not only accepted it, but also suddenly realized as I tightly gripped the racket in my hand - they also have mining tools!
Press F to join the mining team.
In just a moment, the entire first floor of the mine was filled with the sounds of crazy banging and clanging.
The player goes to the next level to chase the monsters first.
After rushing for a long time and waiting for a long time,
Finally, I saw the NPCs appear at the entrance of the cave——
Big and small bags, each person holding one, two, three... dozens of mineral balls in total!
——All fear comes from insufficient firepower!
If one mineral ball can't solve the problem, then get ten or a hundred more!
The player gave a thumbs up to this, and turned around and ruthlessly drove away the mine creatures that had been waiting for a long time.
It's really so slow, players have been waiting for you for a long time!
Come on!
The cat pointed at the NPCs mercilessly.
As soon as they arrived at the next level of the mine, the remaining members of the elimination group, who were on full alert, had no idea what was happening.
They could only rely on their instinct to stand back to back and shoulder to shoulder, not daring to relax at all.
After all, this place is completely unknown to them, and they are also responsible for finding the lost team members.
At this moment, how to protect yourself to the greatest extent is the most important premise, so that you can complete other tasks——
“…Kang kang kang kang kang…”
"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…”
The strange knocking sound was a bit like the knocking and friction sound of people mining on the first floor, but it seemed a little different.
In a dim environment, it is difficult to analyze the difference at first.
Some people who are confused asked, "We have already mined a lot of ore balls, so why do we need to mine more?"
“…”
No one answered, and slowly, they realized that something was wrong.
The sound came from the front, not from behind, but they had just arrived here... There was no way anyone was mining...
After a difficult laugh, Zaizen Guang was still concerned about his junior Toyama Kintaro, and said tentatively,
"Maybe... it's someone else who got here before us?"
He tried to convince himself and others, "After all, if we can think of mining and making ore balls, then they can certainly think of it too...right?"
Having said that, everyone certainly wants to believe it.
But, that strange knocking and rubbing sound that kept coming one after another wasn't coming from just one person, or even ten people... it was definitely more than hundreds of people!!
There were only 196 of them all together, so where did the hundreds of them come from?!
Cai Qianguang still refused to give up, holding a torch and taking the initiative to act as a vanguard, "I, I'll just take a look and come back--!"
Unable to intercept him, everyone could only watch him step into the darkness step by step.
Zaizen Hikaru was nervous and whispered Toyama Kintaro's name, "Kin-ah...if you're here, just let me know and hurry back..."
Holding the torch tightly, his palms were sweating, but Cai Qianguang still did not give up:
"Xiao Jin...Xiao Jin..."
“…Click.”
"Hey - Bai Shi?" A faint sound of doubt seemed to come from above.
Suddenly, Cai Qianguang's ears moved and he quickly caught the sound.
He was shocked and then delighted, "Sure enough, Xiao Jin is here——"
Fortunately, as a senior, he bravely took this step!
With unparalleled expectations, Cai Qianguang's heart was filled with courage that came from nowhere.
The whole person's energy surged, as if he had the power to fight against everything!
He couldn't help but smile, raised the torch high, turned around and looked up at the reflection of the light.
"Haha, I knew you were hiding behind me, Xiao Jin, to scare me. What a mistake! I found you out—"
A glimpse of red at the corner of his eye made Cai Qianguang feel more relieved.
"But Xiao Jin, how come you've suddenly grown so tall after just a while? I'm almost not as tall as you..."
Cai Qianguang slowly opened his eyes, and bit by bit, he met the eyes that were very close to his breathing distance.
Dark and white, except for the eye sockets... there is nothing!!!
“—No!! What the hell is this?!!!!”
