Chapter 428 Greco’s Words Were Originally Unpleasant, and You Are No Better! (Please Subscribe, Please Vote)
The chosen ones all finished their food one after another.
Even these ordinary foods are better than nothing.
Basically, except for Zhang Yangqing, no chosen one would choose food to eat.
After finishing the food, the black-and-white-faced leader started talking about the final level tonight.
Basically, as Sidney guessed, there is a huge Colosseum next to the strange building.
The rest area where they are now is between the strange building and the Colosseum.
Sidney's team includes him and there are four people in total. They are small in number, but they are all elites.
The black-faced leader told them that they would enter the Colosseum at 1 o'clock in the night.
At that time, a completely contaminated strange beast will be released. As long as they kill this strange beast, they can choose to leave the island or return to the arena to continue their experience.
Sidney sensed that there was an important piece of information here, that is, he was about to face a strange beast that was completely contaminated.
In other words, this beast may be carrying pollution. As long as it is effectively prevented from being contaminated, this strange beast should be able to be killed.
As for the type of beast, it is still unknown.
Anyway, this is a team battle. If you can't beat it after entering, you won't be able to get out.
After finishing speaking, the black-faced team leader was ready to leave. His job was to lead the team into the venue at the right time.
At this stage, the more flexible chosen ones began to do whatever they wanted, trying to find ways to please the black-faced team leader in order to get more information.
Sidney was also experienced. He searched around the room, but his teammates didn't know what he was looking for. They asked if they wanted to help, but Sidney declined politely.
In fact, he was looking to see if there were rules. If there were rules, it would mean that the last level was difficult and he needed to rely on the rules to pass it.
But he didn't find the rules, which proves that this is just a cutscene in the end, and it shouldn't be difficult.
As long as he didn't insist on seeking death, he probably wouldn't die.
Because Sidney calculated based on the thinking and abilities of ordinary chosen people, if it were a really powerful beast, ordinary chosen people might not be able to survive.
Normally, as long as you have a few teammates, you can basically solve it with some cooperation.
Thinking of this, Sidney did not relax. As a paladin who suppresses ferocious beasts, he naturally knows that beasts like ferocious beasts must be killed with one blow without leaving any remaining health, otherwise they will burst out with amazing power.
He was sharing his experience with his teammates and his views on the contamination of the strange beasts.
As the captain, he does his duty fairly and his teammates admire him very much.
After doing all this, everyone was resting and preparing for the next battle.
As athletes who come out of the arena, they basically experience life and death battles.
It's not that I'm afraid. I'm still a little nervous when facing unknown dangers.
Sidney could see from the window. Under the moonlight, the scale of the Colosseum in front of him was amazing. The huge stone walls were rolling like mountains, and every stone was like a piece of iron tempered by the sun and moon. , full of historical imprint.
He took a deep breath and could smell the unique smell of rust and blood in the Colosseum.
He was very familiar with this. He had fought with beasts in the Colosseum before.
This is how the muscles in the body are built.
Now even outside, you can still feel the oppression of the Colosseum.
Many of the chosen ones were extremely excited. After all, as long as they settled early, they could see the scores.
This time, everyone's progress speed is about the same. Because there is time, the chosen one who progresses slowly will die suddenly without a chance to try and make mistakes.
Compared with everyone's gearing up, Zhang Yangqing almost fell asleep.
After all, there weren't even any rules behind it, so Zhang Yangqing couldn't get excited.
As for a piece of information given by the black-faced team leader, he only needs to analyze it and tell the old gold card athletes to let them figure it out on their own.
The audience could see that Zhang Yangqing really didn't intend to take action.
Shapati next door is different. Shapati was taken care of by his teammates in the last round. This time he wants his teammates to see what absolute power is.
It can be said that it is to take care of teammates, or it can be said that it is to avenge previous shame.
After being attacked by the purple team, they could no longer find any trace of the purple team.
The weird building is so big that hiding a few people would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
So Shapati just wants to perform well here.
Zhang Yangqing had a different idea. He had brought his teammates here alive. If they couldn't get through, what was the use of keeping them?
Besides, he can also directly analyze that ordinary chosen ones can survive by relying on their teammates, so his teammates are fully capable of dealing with this strange beast, not to mention he has nineteen teammates here.
The numbers have already formed a crushing situation, so why do you need to do it yourself?
The time soon came to 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the black-faced team leader came to the rest area.
His job is the same as that of the arena leader, which is to lead the athletes to the tunnel and let them go in on their own.
I have to say that Zhang Yangqing's strange teammate was very well hidden. After all, there were so many people, so he hid inside, and the team leader didn't even notice.
Because the team leader was lazy, he didn't check the bracelets one by one, nor did he check the time on everyone's hands. He just wanted to come out, so the weird teammates kept hanging around inside.
Many of the chosen ones smelled the smell of blood and rotten meat as soon as they came near the passage.
The Colosseum at the end of the passage is like a ruthless meat grinding ground, and the smell constantly stimulates everyone's nerves.
Walking on the cold and narrow passage, footsteps echoed around him.
The Chosen Ones were starting to get nervous, and Sidney was even warming up.
Zhang Yangqing seemed to be awake and kept breathing out, without any sense of crisis.
Coming to the arena, it's a huge, spacious center surrounded by towering walls.
There were many seats around the Colosseum, but no one was sitting on them.
When everyone in the team entered the Colosseum, the passage behind them suddenly closed, making a loud noise.
Opposite the athletes' passage is a huge stone gate.
There was already a restless atmosphere in the stone gate, and everyone who entered the Colosseum began to take a deep breath.
The old gold card athlete has been observing Zhang Yangqing's expression.
Because as the younger brother, he knows how to please the boss.
The biggest taboo of being the younger brother is to steal the limelight from the older brother.
If the boss wants to fight this time, he will definitely step aside.
But when he saw Zhang Yangqing lazily leaning against the wall at the edge of the exit, he knew that the boss had no intention of taking action.
So I told the brothers to work hard. The boss brought them here. It's time to show their abilities.
It has to be said that the old Jinka athletes still have a certain level of leadership.
He was constantly directing his teammates to cooperate, and the powerful teammates in front resisted the shield, trying to attract the attention of the strange beast as soon as it was released.
Other teammates were nearby to support him. Anyway, he used the gold card given by Zhang Yangqing to draw a power skill, so he was carrying it in front.
The lone wolf boy has great speed and explosive power, so he leads a team to attack the strange beasts.
The tactics are simple but effective.
As the stone door on the opposite side suddenly opened, the entire arena began to shake.
A ten-meter-tall black wolf beast roared out. The strange wolf beast's mouth was drooling, sticky and disgusting, and exuded a putrid smell.
Its eyes shone with hunger, as if it hadn't tasted fresh food for a long time.
The aura of this wolf beast was powerful and oppressive, as if it was an invisible force that made the surrounding air heavy.
"Pay attention, this guy is a speed beast!"
The veteran Jinka athlete immediately analyzed the characteristics of the strange beast and began to organize people to fight.
When Zhang Yangqing was taking a nap, he heard the prompt from the world of ghost stories.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a picture that could be settled.
The huge body of the strange wolf beast had fallen into a pool of blood.
Some spectators outside were anxious when they saw Zhang Yangqing's delay in clicking the settlement button.
Because the first one to settle theoretically has a certain bonus.
And the chosen one has already settled.
Why Zhang Yangqing didn't click on the settlement, El Greco gave the answer.
When Sidney settled the account, everyone in the Holy See expressed their congratulations to him.
Because if nothing else, Sidney is really the first person to settle the matter.
When Sidney was happy, Greco poured a bucket of cold water on him in time.
"Why are you settling the matter at this time? You haven't even completed the hidden mission."
Hearing this, Sidney was stunned for a moment.
Damn it, I seemed to have promised to help the hidden staff let him out, but I was so anxious to get out that I accidentally forgot about it!
Zhang Yangqing didn't come out, that's why.
There was such a small thing left to wrap up, so he was really not in a hurry.
According to the request of the hidden staff, he cannot be placed where there are other staff, otherwise those staff will round him up and it will be very troublesome.
On this point, Zhang Yangqing and many chosen people have reached a consensus.
After all, if he is released before the settlement is settled, when he has problems, he will also encounter danger and trouble.
With the settlement now possible, many of the Chosen Ones chose to leave the Colosseum, bid farewell to their teammates, and come to a safe place.
Ramirez was still very cautious. He thought what would happen if this thing came out and killed him.
To release the person in the painting, just wet the painting with water.
So he built a simple dripping device.
By the time the hidden staff came out, Ramirez had already run to the rest area, waiting for prompts from the World of Ghost Stories.
He doesn't dare to settle now. He will wait until the prompt appears and he completes the task to settle.
Zhang Yangqing didn't care and just drank a bottle of water.
If a hidden staff member has evil intentions, then he is a dead man.
But he had already come out, thanked him and left.
He seemed to think that this person was not easy to mess with, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Other chosen ones also completed their tasks one after another and settled the results.
When Sidney saw this, he regretted it, just this last step was missing.
Why did I foolishly think about coming out early? I had already got the painting.
Seeing Sidney's aggrieved look, Robert came up to comfort him: "It's okay. Even if your performance completes the hidden task, you probably won't get an SSSS rating. It doesn't matter if it's less."
Even if he was good-natured, Sidney wanted to scold the cardinal.
El Greco's speech was originally unpleasant, and the special code was not much better.
If I can't comfort you, just shut up, okay?
But Robert was telling the truth. Sidney performed well in the front, but was really lacking in the back.
The core scoring points of this level are the number of surviving teammates and the remaining time.
Sidney didn't have much of either.
Plus, he hasn't had time to decipher the upper three floors of the strange building.
This is not a deduction, but a bonus.
Even if the Heavenly Master of the Dragon Kingdom did not need the props, he still decrypted it.
Ramirez later gained the trust of his teammates and made up for a process.
All the people involved in this ghost story have settled. After all, everyone has reached the end point, and there is no point in staying in it any longer.
If you come out early, even if you have an S, you can still get good skills with a high probability.
As Robert expected, Sidney did not get SSSS, only SS rating.
He is the most shameful passer in the Holy See, having been SS twice and SSS once.
However, his colleagues still expressed congratulations to him, as long as he made it out alive.
There are three new SSSS level passers this time.
They are Ramirez, who everyone expected. This guy is indeed ruthless and independent.
He basically untied everything he could, and he didn't make any big mistakes this time.
It’s just that Zhang Yangqing doesn’t have the time and number of teammates.
Sanchez, the extraordinary person from the Matador Nation, is also an SSSS level passer.
Don't look at his arrogance, he has indeed solved everything he can think of and decrypt.
What surprised many people was that it was indeed Shapati.
He should be the one with the lowest score among the three SSSS-level Chosen Ones.
Shapati's performance is remarkable. There are not big problems, but there are still problems.
In any case, he was hands-on along the way, and the decryption was neither very fast nor complete, but the advantage was in time and the number of remaining teammates.
Except for Zhang Yangqing, there is really no one who can do these two things better than him.
The one with the highest score is undoubtedly Zhang Yangqing.
Whether it is decryption, the speed and completeness of each level, or the death countdown and the number of remaining teammates, he is the best at it.
Others had some objections to the SSSS rating, but this one was rated SSSSS, and the audience took it for granted.
If he doesn't take it, who else can take it?
On Longhu Mountain, Zhang Yangqing breathed sleepily.
If it were any other chosen one who got the SSSS rating, they would have to celebrate it, and even the whole country would celebrate.
Here, Zhang Yangqing's high rating is as easy as drinking water, and everyone is not surprised.
Senior brother Su Muyu came to Zhang Yangqing and originally wanted to ask Zhang Yangqing about resources.
However, seeing Zhang Yangqing's sleepy look, he did not continue to ask. Instead, he asked Zhang Yangqing to go back and rest quickly. He was indeed very busy today.
As for other things, let’s talk about it tomorrow, no rush.
The other chosen ones who got the resources started their celebration banquet in the evening.
Although many people think that Shapati's performance is average, in front of him, no one dares to mention this, and they all use words of praise to praise his performance in the world of ghost stories.
He was described as the most special existence in the world of ghost stories, such as making a comeback against the odds by his own strength.
As the saying goes, you can wear everything you wear, but you can never wear flattery.
After hearing the praises from everyone around him, Shapati was also very happy, and his old face was full of smiles.
This time, the haze of the strange world has been swept away, and I am immersed in the joy of victory.
After all, no matter how you say he is a genuine special-level magician, let alone him getting SSSS, no matter how bad his performance is, no one dares to say anything to his face.
But Shapati's condition definitely makes it impossible for him to participate in two ghost talks in a row.
Neither his mental state nor his physical condition were very good.
Sidney from the Holy See next door still wants to continue and strive to get the SSSS score.
But he knew that the two colleagues next to him couldn't wait.
It was now half past one in the evening, and Greco and Robert had a quarrel about who would go next time.
Colleagues in the Holy See left this place directly, not bothering to care about them.
What's the use of you two arguing all night anyway? At that time, it will not be a matter of a word from the Pope.
The Pope is not dead, even if you two argue with each other, it will be useless.
On the other side, Ramirez got what he wanted. He had always wanted to get SSSS, but he couldn't get it after going in several times. This time he could finally straighten his back.
Even with his indifferent personality, he couldn't help but smile when faced with the praise of the expert team and the cheers of the people.
As long as he can get out, he is a hero.
The country of matadors is much more unrestrained. Sanchez himself likes to be lively, and this celebration banquet was also grand.
Basically, the extraordinary forces from their own country and acquaintances from neighboring countries came to celebrate in the evening.
The place where he was was packed with people and extremely crowded.
Everyone wants to come and see this successful and chosen one.
Things were much more peaceful here in the Long Kingdom. If anyone dared to hold a celebration banquet for Zhang Yangqing and delay his rest, he would like to beat him up.
These are all casual things, not so exaggerated.
Many people think that Zhang Yangqing is low-key and reserved. In fact, he just finds it troublesome and is too lazy to do so.
But he was resting, and there were many people at the gate of Longhu Mountain.
Many people come here to offer incense. I don’t know who said it. After Zhang Yangqing comes out, everyone can offer incense and pray for luck and blessings.
This statement is very baffling, but what is even more baffling is that some people believe it!
So at night, the entrance of Longhu Mountain is full of people, and it has to be open.
Normally, the mountain gate would be basically closed when the time comes, but the people are too enthusiastic, so we can't let them stay at the door all night.
Seeing this situation, Su Muyu arranged for his disciple to stay on duty overnight.
Xiao Xuan was lucky enough to be the night watcher, leading a group of disciples to maintain order here.
In Longhu Mountain, most people are afraid of Zhang Yangqing, but Xiao Xuan is not very afraid, because Zhang Yangqing does take special care of him.
If Zhang Yangqing arranged for him to stay on night watch, he could still say a few words. After all, he knew that Zhang Yangqing was indeed easy to talk to in private.
But the person who arranged for him to stay overnight was Su Muyu, the person in charge of finance and resources. He didn't dare to say a word.
As long as you make Su Muyu frown, your resources will be gone this month!
Next month, it depends on your performance.
In daily life, Su Muyu is indeed easy to talk to, regardless of work.
But when it comes to schedules, Su Muyu's words cannot be violated.
Xiao Xuan, who was on duty, also straightened his back, showing off his immortal spirit.
After all, he is somewhat famous in Longhu Mountain.
Many Taoist believers cannot see Zhang Yangqing, so they can regard him as a substitute and ask him for fortune-telling and so on.
It was also because of Zhang Yangqing that Longhu Mountain became a popular sect regardless of the sun or the moon.
What Xiao Xuan felt speechless was that it was understandable for ordinary people to come and enjoy their luck.
There are so many extraordinary people coming to the reception hall next to you. Do you think it is so late at night that my family’s head Celestial Master can still see you?
However, these visitors just waited in the reception hall, bragging to each other to relieve their boredom.
No one dared to ask to see Zhang Yangqing so late at night.
You know, Zhang Yangqing's final performance in Ghost Story World was very sleepy and even dozing off.
If he wasn't blind, he would basically not dare to cause trouble to him.
Even if they dared to ask for a meeting, Xiao Xuan did not dare to notify Zhang Yangqing.
Xiao Xuan discovered that there were quite a lot of people from abroad, whether they were believers or visitors.
In the past, Zhang Yangqing was only invited domestically, but now many major foreign forces are inviting him or looking for opportunities to visit him.
One of the foreign guests, Xiao Xuan, looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
