Chapter 981 Maze of Will
Although these martial puppets do not possess human intelligence, they fight with great ferocity.
Soon, everyone present had no intention of actively looking for others to fight. They all devoted themselves to fighting with the martial puppets. These martial puppets alone were enough for them to deal with.
Su Chen also gathered a few martial puppets here. However, he dealt with them with ease and did not find it difficult.
But even so, Su Chen did not relax his vigilance. In his opinion, the biggest threat in this level did not lie in these puppets, but probably in other contestants.
In such a chaotic situation, contestants who cannot be guaranteed will not fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to plot against other contestants to reduce the number of competitors.
Therefore, while Su Chen was dealing with Wu Puppet, he also focused part of his attention on being wary of other contestants. .??.
Half of the time for a stick of incense has passed quickly. By this time, this kind of high-intensity battle has also left many contestants stretched. Many contestants have been defeated by the attacks of the puppets and have been knocked down and eliminated.
However, the Wu Pu's attacks became more and more fierce, and the number of people knocked down continued to increase.
Some savvy contestants have already begun to look for allies at this time, finding a few people of similar strength to resist these puppets together.
However, this alliance is also unstable and may collapse at any time due to mutual distrust between the contestants.
After all, in this kind of situation, it is difficult to safely hand over your back to a competitor you have never met before.
Just like that, the number of contestants on the scene was decreasing one by one.
Su Chen was very stable, keeping a low profile in a corner, dealing with his few martial puppets.
He has no intention of forming a team with other contestants. Anyway, he doesn't expect other contestants to help him. It would be safer to be alone.
The time limit for one stick of incense has finally arrived.
The puppets in the martial arts field dispersed like a tide and returned to the eight small doors surrounding the martial arts field.
"Time is up."
The city lord's staff walked in, glanced at the people left at the scene, and nodded, "Yes, out of a hundred people, twenty-eight people persisted. Your group is considered to be relatively strong."
Out of one hundred people, only twenty-eight people passed the test, and more than seventy people were eliminated. This was considered relatively high strength. One can imagine how high the elimination rate was in other batches.
Su Chen also sighed a little. If this momentum continues, maybe after all three rounds of competition, the 20,000 people will be eliminated to only 300 people.
In this link just now, Su Chen didn't reveal much about his strength. He just controlled his strength to a relatively low limit and passed this link.
In this way, in the eyes of others, Su Chen was only slightly stronger, but he could not be said to be a genius.
This is also the effect Su Chen hopes to achieve. After all, it is just a selection to enter the city lord's palace. He does not want to expose all his strength so quickly.
Su Chen estimated that Xue Yong and the others should have no problem passing this stage.
After all, the three of them have reached the Reincarnation Realm. As long as they are not too unlucky, it is not difficult to stick to the incense here.
"Next, I will take you to the assessment site for the second stage."
The city lord's staff said as he led everyone to a large hall behind the martial arts field.
"This link tests your willpower. In the main hall, there is a formation, a maze to be precise. If you can get out of the maze within one stick of incense, you will pass. Otherwise, if you can get out of the maze within one stick of incense, you will pass."
If you can't get out, you will be considered eliminated."
"Remember, only those with strong will can pass this maze."
"Okay, the main hall is open, go in now!"
After the words fell, everyone immediately jumped into the hall without hesitation.
Stepping into the hall, they immediately felt that they had entered a foggy world. All the other contestants around them suddenly disappeared, leaving only a gray mist.
"Is this the maze in the hall?"
Su Chen's heart was still, and he did not rush around, but observed first.
In this maze, you can see passages extending in all directions everywhere, as if there is a way out in every direction.
However, Su Chen's third eye shot through the fog, and he could vaguely see that these passages were actually connected together in the end. What was formed in the maze was an endless loop, and there was no passage at all.
Towards the outside.
"Since the purpose of this maze is to test your will, it shouldn't be that complicated."
Su Chen simply did not pay attention to these passages. In his opinion, these passages were probably all fake, and none of them was a real way out.
To put it bluntly, these passages will cause interference to people. It is easy for people to follow the rhythm of the maze designer and find a real way out from these passages.
These passages are a hint, suggesting that if you want to leave the maze, you must find a way out of these passages.
But in fact, the real way out is not in these channels at all, but only people with truly excellent willpower and self-judgment will not be affected by these hints.
After Su Chen figured out the trick of this maze, he withdrew his attention from the passages and began to focus on the places without passages.
The real way out is probably hidden in these places without passages.
Not long after, Su Chen's eyes were fixed on a place in the fog. The fog in that place looked obviously thinner than in other places.
"That's it. It's actually very simple."
Su Chen jumped in that direction without hesitation. In fact, the test of this maze is not difficult. It depends on how many people can maintain their own will and judgment despite the interference of those passages.
Whoosh!
Su Chen's figure shot towards the place where the fog was obviously thinner. Immediately, he felt that the scene in front of him changed. His whole body had come out of the fog and landed in an open space.
Looking around, he saw that the hall behind him was the same hall just now, but they entered through the front door of the hall just now, and now he was coming out from the back door of the hall.
Looking at the time again, less than half of the prescribed time has passed.
"Congratulations, you passed."
A voice came from beside Su Chen. He turned around and saw that it was the city lord's staff member who was in charge of their group's assessment.
At this moment, the city lord's staff also had a thoughtful expression on his face, looking at Su Chen with a hint of appreciation and a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Although these martial puppets do not have human intelligence, they are fighting
When he got up, his posture was very fierce.
