Chapter 2428 (`) Scorching Sun Competition (3)

It wasn't long after that Fudge said a few unhelpful words to Anne in a pretentious manner and left triumphantly, maybe less than twenty minutes, finally, Edkin and Simon came together.

The four of them, Holgai and Doric, went all the way and successfully arrived at the center of the maze before the game was about to end. They were able to see the metal spikes welded to each other. At a glance, they knew that they would be able to effectively resist the maze.

A special metal cage for a terrifying predator.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen people in the cage.

Now, as long as they follow and lock themselves up, wait and persist until the end of the maze, there is no doubt that they will win the game!

Of course, it’s just this part.

But...

While Edkin's team members cheered and rejoiced, when he reached out to open the cage and was about to enter, he suddenly stopped and frowned, thinking about something.

"??"

"What's wrong?"

"Edkin!"

Seeing this, Simon, Holgai and Doric couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then of course they gathered around in confusion and asked, ignoring the doubts of the players in the cage who had come here long ago.

"No!"

"This is no way out!"

"not like this!"

Seeing the three people surrounding him, Edkin directly let go of the cage door and murmured in surprise, and then explained in the puzzled eyes of the three people:

"Think about it!"

"What is our purpose? It is to stop Fauci's conspiracy and to bring down that guy Fauci, right?"

"But just now!"

"Doric also said that she saw with her own eyes that Fuch was loading countless treasures onto the ship, but the treasure house in Neverwinter was empty. What does this mean?"

"It means there is a conspiracy here in Neverwinter City!"

"That guy Fudge, he's going to run away!"

"If we go in, then we just barely survived the maze, but what's next?"

“There’s the next level and the next level!”

“There’s one challenge after another!”

"By then, even if we win the final victory, I'm afraid it will be too late!!"

The more Edkin talked, the more excited and energetic he became. Then, as he felt more and more that he was not mistaken, his tone and breathing became faster involuntarily, and he did not care at all that the players in the cage who were looking at each other were also at the same time.

Hearing his shocking remarks and what kind of reaction there would be.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, Simon, Doric and Holgai looked at each other in confusion.

The three people who quickly realized that Edkin was undoubtedly right, could not help but change their expressions from excitement to hesitation.

Because what Edkin said is right, they really came here not to participate in the competition, but to bring down Fauci! The reason why they are here now is entirely because they failed to implement Edkin's plan and were caught.

, and then they were all thrown in.

Therefore, participating in this competition is indeed not their original intention and intention, and they don't care whether they win or lose. The most important thing is to try to get out of here as soon as possible.

"But!"

"How are we going to get out?"

Although she thought what Edkin said was reasonable, there was definitely nothing the barbarian Holgay could do, so she had no choice but to look at Simon standing aside.

"??"

"What do you see me doing?"

Seeing that Holgay seemed to have the idea of ​​'magic is omnipotent' again, Simon hurriedly explained:

"it's useless!"

"The teleportation staff has been confiscated and is in the duffel bag. I can't get everyone out now."

"There is magic in this arena and you can't fly out. Didn't Doric just try it?"

"She can't fly away from here either!"

It means that they are in the arena now. Even if he removes the magic-forbidden bracelet, it is impossible to use magic to get everyone out!

Here, even a warlock like him must strictly follow the rules here. As for other ideas or attempts, they are just a waste of magic power.

"etc!"

"I have an idea!"

At this time, after thinking about it and thinking that what Edkin said was indeed very reasonable, the druid girl Doric suddenly remembered something she encountered on the road. Then, she had an idea and quickly

He thought of a brilliant idea and exclaimed.

"Follow me first!"

As she said that, she turned around without even bothering to explain, and was about to take her friends back the way they came from.

"!?"

"!!"

"ah!!"

Unfortunately, before the four of them could turn around and leave, they were shocked to discover:

At this time, in the passage they just ran into, there was a skinny and rickety creature with a long, curling tail behind it and a pair of huge wings on its back. It was crawling over in a hunched way. It looked like a slightly rickety animal.

A smaller dragon, but if you look closely, a monster that looks like a gargoyle is blocked there?

"that……"

"Hey! Everyone..."

"Forget about what a good idea it is, and don't worry about Fudge's machinations. I think it's better for us to enter the cage first?"

"right!"

"Finish, totally agree!"

Although they didn't know what it was, the four of them knew that the opponent was very difficult to deal with at a glance, so they had to turn around again quickly, and then followed the one who just said they didn't want to enter the cage, but at this time they were the first to open the iron door impatiently.

Edkin rushed in and quickly closed the door of the steel cage with the help of other players.

‘!!’

Seeing the four people entering the cage, the monster rushed forward.

'Woo...'

However, frightened by the sharp iron thorns around the iron cage and some kind of protective spell, it had to stop and whimper and retreat, instead of embarrassing the dozen or so people in the cage.

but!

Although it did not dare to move forward to attack the cage, it had no intention of leaving. Instead, it lingered so cunningly not far away, and just waited for the rabbit?

Not long after, as expected, a human female warrior ran over here without knowing it. Then, before everyone in the cage could remind them, the tail of the terrifying monster popped out like a poisonous snake and plunged into the strong female warrior.

Warrior's neck.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

When he saw that woman, her eyes widened almost instantly, her hands and feet twitched and she fell to the ground. At the same time, she foamed at the mouth and died of poison within a short time. The people in the cage, including Edkin and others, were stunned.

Of course, they were so frightened that they all gasped and subconsciously stepped back to get further away from the terrifying monster.

Dang! Dang!!

Fortunately, before they could continue to observe more or think of any countermeasures, as the woman died from the poison, two clear and melodious gongs sounded, and this round of competition came to an end.

As all the high walls of the maze disappeared, and as all the surviving contestants breathed a sigh of relief, the skinny, rickety monster that looked like a dragon but also looked like a gargoyle was finally removed from the arena floor.

Another steel cage that suddenly rose up was tightly locked inside and locked directly opposite the contestants.

Then, since Fudge had already made an explanation in advance and he had probably left Neverwinter at this time, it was natural for an official to speak on his behalf and try his best to arouse the emotions of the audience.

And also announced the general rules for the second round of competition.
To be continued...
