Don't shake green lotus

The mechanical sound echoed in the maze, and all contestants' heartstrings tightened.

Teams with medal were alert to prevent other teams from snatching the medal, while teams without medal were eager to open the rule screen. As the announcement said, a temporary map section was added to the screen. As long as they raise their hand and click it, they can see the corridor of the entire mechanical maze clearly, especially the bright green and red dots on the map, which are extremely eye-catching.

Logically speaking, contestants must first pay attention to the medal location closest to them, but the reality is not like this. All the contestants who opened the small map were attracted by the red dot in the corner at the first moment, because this red dot was a little too big compared to other locations. It was a large circle composed of multiple red dots overlapping.

Some contestants couldn't help but count carefully: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...6???"

Six dots, in other words, these are six promotion medals. Staring at the light screen map, contestants were silent and confused. What's going on? Is the map display wrong? Is there a malfunction?

Although they were confused, contestants didn't forget the main business. Medals still had to be snatched. The medal position was only announced for two hours. They had to get a medal during this time. Who knows when the next round of medal announcement will be. If they miss this opportunity, they will have to wait again, and the later it is, the more difficult it will be to get a medal.

The teams in the maze rushed to the medal position closest to them.

"You know what, our six little red dots really look like a little red flower." Li Yanglin looked at the public map on the screen. He was nervous but still had time to say something joking. After that, he turned around and asked his teammates: "What should we do? Should we run now or what?"

Gu Ze reminded: "During the public announcement period, the medal moves and changes will be displayed on the map at the same time."

"Well... our maze is actually a dead end." Wang Anan was looking at the map carefully and unexpectedly found that the maze where their team was located had only one opening, the other end was blocked.

The maze is a dead end, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that their team does not need to disperse and only needs to guard the only opening. The disadvantage is that if they can't guard that opening, their retreat will be blocked, it will be difficult to escape.

"Let's go ba. There should be a team coming soon. Let's ambush first." Wang Anan stood up and said.

Gu Yan did not respond immediately, but cast his eyes to Su Yu who was closing his eyes. He still remembered that Su Yu had just said that he wanted to trade with other teams using the promotion medal. Now he was very curious and wanted to know how Su Yu was going to deal with the team that came.

If he knew what Gu Yan was thinking, Su Yu might have responded calmly with 'just deal with it like this'.

On the maze street outside the house, eleven giant emerald green mantises with the same appearance were jumping on the roof, moving in the same direction. When they all reached the end of the maze road, they stopped and found a cover to hide their tall bodies.

When Su Yu and other six came over, these eleven mantises, including a soldier worker ant whose size and color were incompatible with the mantis, had already completely hidden without leaving any trace.

Li Yanglin used his special ability to dig several deep pits under the ground, while Li Jinliang used wind power to fill the bottom of the pits to prevent the pits from collapsing directly. Gu Yan and Gu Ze took out magic stones and set up offensive magic circles in several hard-to-find blind spots.

After completing these simple preparations, the six people dispersed and waited for other players to come.

Almost half an hour later, the first team arrived.

This is a chaotic team. As for why it say this, it is because the contestants in this team belong to different civilizations. It can be seen that it is a temporary team that just gets together. The overall strength of the team is not high, and the cooperation is not tacit. It is completely a food delivery. Su Yu doesn't even need to call out the low-level Zerg in the dark. Wang Anan other three and the brothers Gu Yan and Gu Ze have already pressed this team to the ground.

After being severely injured, Gu Yan trapped all members of this team with imprisonment magic, then asked Su Yu: "Do you want to make a deal with them ma?"

"Not for the time being, lock them up first." Su Yu said.

Gu Yan couldn't guess Su Yu's thoughts, but he still followed Su Yu's instructions and locked up the group of people first.

In the next half an hour, three small teams came one after another. Fortunately, they were all players from small and medium civilizations, so they were not difficult to deal with and could barely cope with. The fate of these three small teams was the same as the first team. They were first severely injured, then imprisoned, and finally locked up in an empty house next to them.

"If the teams behind are all of this level, then I will have confidence again." Wang Anan controlled the flames and defeated four teams in a row. She swelled up.

Gu Ze said: "It's impossible to be so lucky all the time."

"..." Okay ba, after saying this, the swollen Wang Anan immediately lost her temper.

Just as Gu Ze said, luck can't always be on their side. When the fifth team appeared, Wang Anan and others felt a thump in their hearts and sank.

There were many people in this team, more than 20, there were also several familiar faces among them, especially the one standing next to the leader... The lower half of his face was incomplete. This look and this wound clearly showed that he was the orc Chi Ran who had half of his face blown off and left in a mess not long ago.

His eyes fell on Su Yu with hatred, Chi Ran said in a strange voice, "Cai Yan, it's them!" Because the lower half of his face was almost blown to pieces, all the healing pills were used up but could not be completely repaired, now just speaking was extremely painful. Of course, what tortured Chi Ran the most was that he actually lost to a contestant from a backward civilization.

Anger burned his reason, and Chi Ran just wanted to tear these people to pieces. For this, he was even willing to put aside his self-esteem and choose to ask for help from other teams that also belonged to the Chalk civilization.

The man called Cai Yan by Chi Ran, just like his name, has an extremely dazzling appearance. Unlike his companions, he has no obvious orc features. The only thing that can be identified is that there are a few white feathers on his clothes. The weird thing is that don't know if it's an optical illusion, but the outline of the white feathers actually glows with a faint color, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

[Wow, really, the Chalk civilization don't shake green lotus, Chi Ran can't beat and still calls for help.]

[Yingyingying, but the young patriarch Cai Yan is so so good-looking o, whether in human form or prototype, I like him so much.]

[Brothers, come and place a bet, guess whether Su Yu will win or lose this time? I think it will be the latter, and they will be completely wiped out.]

[Not necessarily. Cai Yan is indeed very powerful, but he was beaten half to death by Lord Northfield in the last game. This short time is definitely not enough for him to recover. Now his strength is at least halved. Su Yu still has Gu Yan and Gu Ze... It's hard to say, it feels like a 50-50 situation.]

In the maze, Cai Yan smiled at Su Yu and others and greeted them, "Hello a."

Su Yu and others did not respond, and Cai Yan did not care. He turned his eyes to Gu Yan and Gu Ze, covering his lips in surprise: "I didn't expect that what Chi Ran was saying was true. You actually joined such a weak team." His tone was ten points exaggerated, it was artificial with a sense of regret and pity, which made people feel disgusted.

Gu Yan also smiled slightly and said in the same tone of concern: "Cai Yan, are you injury good ma?"

"..." Hearing this, Cai Yan's expression twisted for a moment.

Yes, that's right, just like what was said in the barrage, Cai Yan is still injured at the moment and has not fully recovered. Speaking of this injury, it can be traced back to the last game... Not only was he severely injured, but his most gorgeous feathers were also plucked out. For Cai Yan, this is simply the greatest humiliation he has ever suffered in his life.

Fortunately, the matter between Su Yu and Bai Wuqing dominated the hot topics of the Star Network, so he did not embarrass himself on the entire StarNet. Cai Yan wanted to completely erase the traces of this matter from the world, but Gu Yan mentioned it in front of him.

"It doesn't matter." Cai Yan said: "I hope you can still be so stubborn later."

After the words fell, the orcs behind Cai Yan seemed to have received an order, and they all returned to their original forms and rushed to the location of Su Yu and others. Gu Yan clenched the staff in his hand and recited a large attack spell, but the spell was only halfway through when he was shocked by the mantises that jumped out from the surroundings and stopped the sound.

Mantises jumped out from the darkness one after another, blocking the orcs. One orc failed to stop and was flipped over by the mantis in front of them. The sickle-like forelimbs chopped the beast's back, the scars were deep enough to see the bone.

These orcs were far smaller than the original Chi Ran. The mantises could even fight two against one and deal with all the orcs in front of them. With such a group of Zergs blocking them, Gu Yan and others didn't need to do anything.

[If my memory is correct, shouldn't there be only two bugs ma? Where did so many come from?]

[Heh, man, you have successfully attracted my attention. From now on, I will live in this live broadcast room and won't leave. I must understand what this Earth contestant is capable of!]

[It feels like ba, it may be similar to the beastmaster of Shang Yuan civilization. They tame and subdue them in advance, when they grow stronger, they can become their own helpers.]

At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room has completely understood that Su Yu's ability should be related to these insects. This reminds the audience of the beastmasters of Shang Yuan civilization. The more they think about it, the more they feel similar. Both of them tame other creatures to help them, but one tames beasts and the other tames insects.

"Insects?" Seeing the mantises, Cai Yan showed a disgusted expression on his face, mixed with a trace of barely detectable hatred.

Chi Ran's expression was more straightforward, full of hatred. His injuries were caused by this thing.

The attacks of the orcs could not cause much damage to the mantises. The shells of these insects were as hard as iron sheets, and their jumping ability was amazing. They could always dodge their attacks. On the contrary, the mantises, with their sickle-shaped forelimbs, would leave a light or heavy scar every time they chopped.

"These damn jumping insects are afraid of fire!"
