The Magic Energy Card is second only to the Mysterious God Card, and many people may not even have the Chaos Divine Card even when they reach the finals. The Magic Energy Card is basically the top configuration for most people.
[Card: Malicious Randomness]
[Card Level: Magic Energy Card.]
[Effect: When someone harbors an intent to attack you, that intent will randomly diffuse to the people around you.]
Simply put, with this card, if someone tries to kill Old Zheng, then the malice towards Old Zheng will be randomly distributed among the people around him...
This person might launch an attack on a group of people.
Zheng Zai thought for a moment. This card is quite nice; if he hides in a crowd, the risk he faces will be divided.
The other two Order Cards are purely Attribute Cards.
Double Health and Double Speed.
Combining with Old Zheng's previous card pool, Old Zheng's speed has already increased significantly.
He felt a little safer.
Wen Xishu nodded after asking a few questions:
"Not bad, you can dissolve malice and escape quickly. Relatively speaking, it's still safe. You got lucky this time, Old Zheng."
Other survivors from different regions gradually appeared around them, and the sense of oppression was slowly increasing.
In the scene, some bizarre statues began to appear.
Zheng Zai observed everything while asking:
"Younger Brother Wen, how about you?"
Wen Xishu said:
"I only kept the card that immunizes against teammates' negative attributes. I replaced all the other cards."
Zheng Zai asked in a whisper:
"What cards?"
"Mysterious God Cards, a total of five." Wen Xishu said nonchalantly.
Zheng Zai: …
Forget it, I shouldn't have asked. Wen and I are not even playing the same game.
Zheng Zai couldn't speak, feeling as if he had been run over by a thousand horses.
He's certainly not jealous, but the gap between people is so huge that it still shocked him.
The Magic Energy Card is already impressive, but Mysterious God Cards, five divine equips?
This... Younger Brother Wen must be on a killing spree, isn't he?
...
...
After the second elimination round, there really weren't many monsters left. All regions might merge.
And at this time, what appeared before Wen Xishu and the others was a super large "Forest of Statues."
As before, a hundred statues, each unique, some are beasts, some resemble totems.
In the sky, there are also some bizarrely colored butterflies, blue butterflies, purple butterflies, red butterflies, white butterflies.
There were nearly a hundred butterflies as well.
Meanwhile, the host's voice echoed:
"A hundred statues, numbered one to a hundred, hehe, everyone knows, adding one to a hundred is five thousand and fifty."
"And there are about five thousand people present. Of course, it may be that due to special mechanisms, there aren't enough people to kill."
"I'll first explain the death mechanism. Suppose, if you touch the statue numbered fifty, and if it's lit up but not the correct answer—"
"Then fifty people will die in this elimination round. Of course, the person lighting up the statue will definitely die."
"As for the other forty-nine people, whether you'll be one of them depends on your skills."
"You all have some cards, don't you?"
"Of course, it's also possible that you touch the statue numbered fifty, but in the end... more than fifty people die, or fewer than fifty."
"But the cause and effect in this is up to you to find out."
"This round will see many deaths; the clear strategy is to observe from the back and let a group of people die first."
"After all, there will be ten correct answers. Once they're all found, you'll clear the round~"
"Observe carefully, the strong can command the weak to light up the statues, letting the weak serve as your stepping stones, but you won't be taller than these steps, nor shorter than them."
"Good luck everyone, oh, by the way, every statue represents a disaster. I hope to see a lot of disasters~"
"Now, the Mysterious Tournament, second round, begins."
Silent.
In the grand scene, there were at that moment nearly five thousand bizarre monsters.
Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai felt the pressure from these strange creatures...
None of them spoke.
Even the monsters didn't speak.
They aren't good at thinking and don't know how to solve this riddle.
Among the hundred statues, there are ten correct numbers...
It seems much like the last round, but Wen Xishu knows very well that it's likely far more difficult this time than last.
He looked at the butterflies, deep in thought.
And at this moment, the strongest monster in the lane—a bizarre tree, suddenly spoke.
This was a tree coiled around a massive building, with countless roots entwined around the structure. Dim light could be seen from the building's windows.
This was clearly an elite species.
It had been invited to participate in the Mysterious Tournament with aims of heading into the Red House.
Although everyone's abilities and props had been stripped away... its sheer size determined its destructive power.
The combination of a building and a towering tree, just by looking at it, exerted a huge visual oppression.
It's hard to imagine whether this giant tree experienced the penalty of ten mirrors in the first round? If so...what a massive coffin should be prepared?
"Next, I'll call names, the person I call will light up the first statue."
"Who agrees, who objects?"
Faced with an elite species, and questioned by such a super-sized creature... no one dared to object. Whether it's those driving Mazdas or Rolls-Royces, anyone daring to object would be skewered by the immense vines.
Zheng Zai thought to himself... hope it won't call on me or Younger Brother Wen?
They are human, the weakest existence.
The most suited to be cannon fodder.
But this time, Zheng Zai realized something strange.
The people around seemed not to notice them.
The Divine Card's effect had already been activated.
This was also a card that provided Wen Xishu with a sense of security, with a simple and straightforward effect—local stealth.
Wen Xishu said:
"Don't make any big movements, it can't see you. Old Zheng, stay extremely alert, solve the puzzle carefully... but don't be too tense either."
"With me here, you won't die."
Even as he spoke, Wen Xishu was unsure himself. Though the monsters couldn't see them... whether the death triggered by the statues could detect him and Old Zheng, was still uncertain.
Moreover, facing this round's puzzle, Wen Xishu was at a total loss.
"The riddle must be in the host's words, just skipped over with a sentence."
"Also, the host said, touching the statue numbered fifty might lead to more than fifty deaths... does this suggest that the number represented by the statues might change?"
"And those butterflies in the sky, what do they signify?"
Wen Xishu was confident that he could clear the level through numerical analysis, but like the first level, he also was eager to try—whether he could clear it with skills.
