The moment Laplace landed, the clown's head exploded with a "pop", and a large number of colorful ribbons and clown balloons scattered from it, seeming to celebrate Laplace's successful landing.
Along with the ribbons and balloons, the audience also burst into applause.
Laplace's performance on the track this time was better than the last time on the ropeway... probably because the chase looked very lively, and Laplace used a lot of beautiful tricks to avoid being swallowed by the clown balloon.
, and these skills become a plus.
Therefore, the response from the audience was slightly more enthusiastic, but overall, it still did not reach a full house.
In order not to disappoint the audience, the host had no choice but to warm up the show again.
Laplace completely ignored the sounds from the outside world and concentrated on sensing the new information he had obtained.
"The challenger codename is determined to be: Silver Fox"
"Challenger Silver Fox launches a solo challenge in the special dreamland "Circus of the Sunshine"."
"Challenger Silver Fox, the challenge was successful, the current progress is "Swamp Track"."
"The track completed by Challenger Silver Fox is 2/5, and the exploration degree is 25%."
Subtracting the 11% exploration degree obtained from the Knife Mountain Circuit, we can see that Laplace's exploration degree obtained from the Swamp Circuit is 14%. Although it looks a little better, it is not that much better.
However, Laplace doesn't care, as long as he completes the track, the degree of exploration... is not important. In other words, it is not important in this special dream of "Circus of the Sun".
Laplace did not listen to the host's witty remarks, but waited silently for the third track to appear.
We didn't wait too long, and before long, this landscaping was darkened.
In the darkness, the host's voice was still chattering: "The next track is the ring of fire track. Can the challenger succeed?"
A burst of hissing sounded in the darkness.
The host smiled and said: "I think everyone would rather hear my voice, but the process still needs to go on. Believe me, I will be back soon! So, now it's time to hand over to the challenger."
After the host finished speaking, the dark curtain was lifted, and a new scenery appeared in front of Laplace.
Laplace looked around and couldn't help but frown.
The host previously said that the next track was the "ring of fire track". She thought it was a circus-like performance of jumping through a ring of fire, but it was actually not... She was now standing on the beach, with the sea in front of it.
A sea of ​​silver.
From this strange silver ocean, Laplace smelled danger.
This is no ordinary ocean.
Putting aside the dangers of the ocean, what about the ring of fire? Where is the ring of fire?...Could it be that this ocean will catch fire later?
In the distance of the silver ocean, an island can be vaguely seen, with a familiar clown balloon floating above the island. I guess that is the end point.
If this sea really turns into a sea of ​​fire later, how will we cross the sea to the other side?
Laplace came to the familiar sign with doubts.
Just when she was about to turn her attention to the standing sign, Angel's voice came to her ears: "Did you notice that the host did not call you by your code name this time?"
Laplace was silent for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter."
"The attitude of the host may also be related to the degree of exploration." Angel guessed.
Laplace: "I can feel it. Maybe I feel that my exploration level is too low and it's not worth spending so much time introducing? But it doesn't matter. What I want is to clear the level, not the exploration level."
Having said that, Angel still has some worries. You don’t have to care about the enthusiasm of the audience, but the host is closely related to Cirque Sunshine. If the host’s attitude becomes cold, will it affect the Bunny Girl’s final destination?
Angel had something in mind, but he still held back his words and accompanied Laplace to read the contents on the sign.
The standing sign gives a brief introduction to the track.
Laplace's conjecture was correct. This silver ocean was indeed dangerous. On the sign, it was clearly written: "Any creature that falls into the ocean will be completely wiped out. Challengers, please be sure not to jump into the sea."
, jump into the sea at your own risk."
Is there really a sea in the world that completely annihilates all living things? Angel doesn't believe it, but this is a dream, an unpredictable dream. If it says so, then the underlying rules may work like this.
Even if Laplace has the bonus of imaginary physical fitness, Angel does not think that she is qualified to challenge the underlying rules now.
Therefore, complying with the rules of establishing a sign should be the first priority.
Since you can’t jump into the sea, how do you cross the sea?
The sign also gave a solution: "There is a phantom dolphin in the sea. The phantom dolphin will come looking for the whistle. If you ride on the phantom dolphin, you can cross the sea and reach the other shore."
Laplace looked towards the sea, and sure enough he saw a dolphin-like creature swimming in the ocean in the distance.
The whistle mentioned in the standing sign is also hung on the standing sign. It is a very ordinary whistle.
As for the "ring of fire" that Laplace is most concerned about, the introduction is also given on the standing sign.
"The ring of fire will randomly appear somewhere in the sea after starting the challenge. You must find the ring of fire and jump over the ring of fire on a phantom dolphin before you can go to the finish line. If you do not jump over the ring of fire and go directly to the finish line, it will be considered as
Challenge failed."
You can't see the fire ring now because the challenge hasn't started yet.
However, judging from the introduction on the sign, it may not be easy to find the fire ring. It is probably difficult to find the fire ring in the vast sea.
Moreover, this ring of fire track has a time limit - five minutes.
You must find the fire ring, jump over the fire ring, and reach the finish line within five minutes.
Laplace guessed that the difficulty was finding the fire ring! But she was not worried, because if looking for the fire ring... Angel could help.
Naturally, Angel would not refuse, and made it clear that as soon as he saw the ring of fire, he would tell Laplace immediately.
Laplace felt that there was no problem, so he picked up the whistle and blew gently towards the sea.
Upon hearing the whistle, the phantom dolphin, as expected, swam wildly towards Laplace's location.
Jumping onto the phantom dolphin, Laplace tried to control the direction of the phantom dolphin. After confirming that it was correct, she returned to the shore and pressed the timer.
At the moment when the five-minute countdown started, Laplace jumped onto the phantom dolphin again and signaled the phantom dolphin to swim towards the other side.
The phantom dolphin was very obedient, and its speed was not slow either. It galloped towards the other side as fast as lightning.
If we follow the speed of the phantom dolphin, we can reach the other shore in three minutes at most.
However, reaching the end is not the goal. Before that, she still needs to complete the task of jumping through the fire ring.
"Did you see the ring of fire?" Laplace asked softly.
Angel: "No."
Another minute later, Laplace asked the same question again, and Angel's answer was still "no."
When the dolphin was about to see the general terrain of the other side, Laplace couldn't help but ask again.
Angel's answer remained unchanged.
Angel felt confused at this time. His current perspective was similar to God's perspective. He could see the entire silver ocean, but he didn't see even a ring of fire.
The countdown has obviously started and the track is fine, so why hasn’t the ring of fire appeared yet?
Could it be that the host was unhappy because the exploration was not enough, so he deliberately wanted Laplace to lose without giving him the ring of fire?
When both Angel and Laplace felt strange, the ring of fire finally appeared.
However, Angel didn’t need to remind him, Laplace also saw it.
Because the place where the ring of fire appears is right in front of Laplace!
The appearance of the ring of fire should have been a joyful thing, and it was not far away, which meant there would be no detours, which was a good thing. However, both Laplace and Angel felt something was wrong.
In their imagination, the fire ring is similar to a circus fire ring, standing in mid-air, and people or tame animals jump through the fire ring, which is the so-called "fire ring jumping".
But the fire ring here is different. It is not "erect", but spread directly on the sea.
The most important thing is that when the phantom dolphin jumps into the ring of fire, it is no longer controlled by Laplace.
It began to swim back and forth in the ring of fire. No matter how Laplace controlled it, it never moved forward.
Immediately afterwards, the phantom dolphin began to uncontrollably change the posture of Laplace, making Laplace stand on its mouth.
It looks a bit like...a dolphin holding a colored ball. It's just that the colored ball has now become Laplace.
Looking at this scene, Angel had a vague guess.
"Is this phantom dolphin performing?" Angel whispered: "Is it because you have to complete the performance with it before it can jump through the fire hoop?"
To be continued...
