Everyone was an accomplished top Beast Tamers, and they were also support offerings invited by Yue Ling Suiwan.
They had seen a lot of the world, so they rarely clashed with others at such times.
It was possible they would have to fight side-by-side in the next few days, so there was no need to sour their relationship.
Subsequently, Yue Ling Suiwan began to seriously explain the rules of this final round of competition and the specific conditions of the trial ground.
The rules of the competition were actually not complicated.
One, all candidate heirs and their support offerings would be dispersed into Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land;
Two, after entering the Mystic Ground, the candidate heirs holding exclusive teleportation tokens would be teleported to Lingjue Death Ground, becoming the chief priest of the twelve sacrificial positions in the Death Ground. The chief priest's only task was to guard their sacrificial position with the death array fully activated, and then survive until the Lingjue Death Ground closed;
Three, after all support offerings entered the Mystic Ground, they would automatically receive the blessings and Curse bonuses of that sacrificial position after the candidate heir they protected successfully entered their position;
(Note: No one could know what specific blessings and Curses would be before the competition began; it was purely by luck.)
Four, support offerings could move freely within the Mystic Ground. During this process, one-tenth of the food, energy crystal, energy fruits, and other materials they collected, or the potions, energy pills, and props made from materials obtained in the Mystic Ground, or the gains from killing and plundering other support offerings, would be unconditionally converted into the defensive energy of the candidate heir's sacrificial position. The more defensive energy the sacrificial position had, the stronger the blessings the support offerings would receive, and the weaker the Curse;
(Note: Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land has space-type restrictions. Except for spatial tools specially made with the Mystic Ground's Life-Death Stone, other spatial tools cannot be used within the Mystic Ground.
And only when the competition officially begins will all support offerings receive exclusive spatial tools, which contain nothing but air.)
Five, for every support offering that dies, the defense of the sacrificial position will be directly weakened by one-tenth;
Six, killing support offerings from other teams allows one to absorb their blessings and Curses, enhancing one's own blessings and weakening one's own Curses;
Seven, when the defensive energy of a sacrificial position reaches an overflowing level, the overflowing energy will automatically flow to the main sacrificial position, activating the chief priest of the main sacrificial position, who will be the ultimate winner of the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) competition;
Eight, provided the main sacrificial position is not activated, the competition will continue until the Lingjue Death Ground is fully closed, unless only one candidate heir remains, in which case that candidate will directly become the winner.
Besides these eight most important rules, there were, of course, some less important details.
With Mingxi's memory, she remembered them all after hearing them once.
In fact, through these rules, it could be seen that in this competition, both candidate heirs and support offerings faced considerable danger.
Mingxi had never entered the Lingjue Death Ground, so she didn't know the specific situation, but just by hearing the name, she knew the candidates would not encounter anything good.
And throughout the entire process, the candidate heirs could rely almost solely on their support offerings. If the support offerings were not strong enough, then the candidate heirs would most likely face only death.
No wonder the death rate for the Yue Ling Clan heir competition was so high.
No wonder this round would require a lucky player like her.
Because of the special nature of Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land, the initial entry point for support offerings into the Mystic Ground was too important!
This discussion lasted for most of the day, until the sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature in this originally dry and cold area suddenly soared. frёeωebɳovel.com
It was like being suddenly thrown into a pot of oil. If everyone hadn't known the situation of this place and had worn temperature-regulating suits early on, they might have been rendered into a layer of human oil by the harsh weather.
"Time is almost up, we should go to the Mystic Ground entrance.
Suì Wǎn's life and death are entrusted to the ten of you."
Yue Ling Suiwan once again solemnly performed a respectful bow to Mingxi and the other nine, her attitude exceptionally proper.
"Miss Suì Wǎn, we cannot guarantee your victory in this competition, but we will certainly do our best!" Hermeqi·Tiger declared on behalf of everyone.
"That's enough!"
The ten people followed Yue Ling Suiwan out of the tent, and a scorching blast of air hit them.
The temperature was no lower than when Mingxi was in the volcano where the Creation Fruit was located. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
And the temperature and environment here were affected by Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land.
"Ling Daren, I entrust my sister to you. I will wait for you to return safely to the camp!"
Zhou Li'an, who had been trying his best to minimize his presence after entering the camp area, now stepped forward to speak with Mingxi.
Mingxi nodded: "I understand."
As a brother, perhaps all Zhou Li'an truly wanted was his sister's safety.
Led by the three presiding elders of the Yue Ling Clan, all candidate heirs and support offerings arrived before a tall stone pillar, ten meters thick.
Although Mingxi's appearance was a bit abrupt, there were others dressed even more strangely than her.
Coupled with her uniquely short stature in the crowd, she did not create an effect of standing out like a crane among chickens.
But Mingxi noticed a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Bing—" She swallowed the 'Ning' that was about to come out. Almost, she almost exposed herself!
Qian Bingning was actually also a support offering for a certain candidate heir!
He wouldn't be that C-rank Beastmaster whose pet beast had received the blessing of the Lucky Astrolabe, would he?
The Bing Ning Clan was a branch of the Yue Ling Clan, so it wasn't surprising that he would participate, apart from being a bit weaker in strength.
No, wait, he was clearly a D-level Beastmaster during the Sky Ladder Challenge, so did he awaken again this month?
This suggests that Qian Bingning's talent was indeed very good, no wonder he was the student who lit up the Thousand Stele Forest the most before her arrival.
If she hadn't appeared, perhaps Bright Crystal would still need him to save it.
However, it would be hard to say whether it would be salvation or disaster then. Without the Sword Key, Bright Crystal would basically not survive, and Green Field Star would also suffer a catastrophic disaster.
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, attracting Qian Bingning's attention. He also looked over at her, but Mingxi moved her gaze away just before their eyes met.
Qian Bingning frowned, looking at the petite figure.
"Little Qian, what's wrong?" The green-hatted young man beside Qian Bingning, who was Yue Ling Qianchen, also noticed his distraction and asked with concern.
At this moment, he was like a completely different person from before.
"Nothing, Cousin, do you know who that woman in the ghost mask is?"
"Ghost mask?" Yue Ling Qianchen immediately thought of that somewhat eerie woman.
He followed Qian Bingning's gaze and indeed saw that familiar ghost mask, "Oh, her, she's Yue Ling Suiwan's last support offering. Can't tell her strength.
What's wrong? You don't know her, do you?"
