Chapter 120

After a long warm-up, the "Hunting Competition" finally kicked off amidst the endless expectations of all the guests. Although the entire competition area ushered in the busiest day in several days, everything was still in order , and these various guests from all over the world, after more than two days of personal experience, also know some "rules". An orderly queue, under the guidance of the soldiers, slowly enters the arena they are interested in, and the service in the VIP area is even higher. During the period, the VIPs will not only have special guides to welcome them into the venue, but will also have Their own dedicated independent box.
At first, those wealthy guests secretly felt sorry for the rather expensive "box occupancy fee", but the good experience in the box finally let them throw that little bit of reluctance to the sky.
Boxes are set up on the second floor of all arenas, which are directly separated from the general area. This "superior" design not only brings a better view, but also faintly brings out the psychological hint of being superior.
Wu Jiu's initial expectation was not wrong. In order to show her respected status and express her disdain to be with those ordinary orcs with little money, after the end of the day's competition, almost no guests asked to unsubscribe from this expensive one. The "additional services" bound to the VIP area, and even a voice from the general area appeared, asking whether these VIP boxes are available and the corresponding price.
Wu Jiu is not surprised by such inquiries. The personal demonstrations made by the VIPs are the most intuitive living advertisements. Those potential buyers hidden in ordinary areas, as long as they are strong enough, will not mind spending a little more money to experience it for a day. After all, Who doesn't like the feeling of looking down on all beings from a height.
The sales of the vacant boxes were booming, and when the feather coins in Wu Jiu's small cash box were getting higher and higher, an inquiry from a guest aroused his interest.
"A guest asked if we could hang "decorations" on the outside of the VIP seats." Wu Ba came in through the curtain and said conveniently.
Wu Jiu raised his eyes to look at him. The tall and thin young man in front of him has lost his immaturity in childhood and has become a lot more mature. Not long ago, Wu Ba and the other seven little ones also completed their second transformation one after another, making them even more mature. The mature appearance has enhanced their respective prestige a lot, especially Wu Ba, who is the most trusted confidant around Wu Jiu, after the successful transformation, the sights projected on him have changed. Of course, In this erotic vision, apart from ordinary attention, it is not surprising that there are some other meanings.
The young and strong of the orc clan inside and outside the tribe suddenly discovered that the lame little Huiyu, who was young and mature, became extremely eye-catching after successfully transforming into a shape. unique charm.
That's right, even after Wu Ba's successful transformation, he still did not change his low-key nature, and was still wrapped in an unremarkable gray robe, but that plain attire could hardly conceal his outstanding appearance.Even though he has a disability, even if he is just a mere gray feather, the existence of Wu Jiu makes up for all these deficiencies.
Wu Ba ignored all the prying eyes and the "enthusiasm" suddenly erupted by some of his fellow clansmen. In his eyes, Wu Jiu was always the first one, and Wu Jiu, who was on the sidelines the whole time. , apart from feeling a little funny, he didn't interfere too much. After all, in his eyes, these potential suitors were far from enough to match the most capable subordinates around him.
These bits and pieces of the past flashed away in Wu Jiu's heart, and Wu Jiu's focus soon returned to Wu Ba's problem.
"What kind of decorations do they want to hang?" Wu Jiu looked at Wu Ba and asked suspiciously.
"My lord, please look." Wu Ba didn't talk too much nonsense, and slowly unfolded a thick piece of animal skin in his hand. The content on the animal skin was very simple. It has no sense of beauty, and it is even more decorative. Wu Jiu tried hard to identify it, but couldn't help laughing. What was written on the animal skin turned out to be an advertisement!
"The special stone vessel of the Xuanshi clan, good!"
The simple advertising slogan is straightforward and eye-catching without any extra embellishments, but it highlights the advanced business acumen of this Xuanshi businessman.
"This guest wants to rent a VIP box near the corner of the grandstand," Wu Ba, who was on the side, added in a timely manner when Wu Jiu was fascinated by the advertisement.
After thinking for a while, Wu Jiu understood what the businessman had in mind. When designing the competition venue, Wu Jiu referred to the Colosseum in ancient Rome and the modern stadium. In addition to enclosing the circle above the field, there are also two roads connecting diagonally across the entire field, like two hanging basket handles, hanging above the field. Standing in this position, you can overlook the entire field from a high altitude Not only that, but the guests in this position have undoubtedly become the focus of attention of all the audience. After all, as long as you look up, you can easily enter the two boxes like bridges hanging from above. Under the eyes.
And the "corner" chosen by this vicious businessman is the intersection of two covered bridges. Wu Jiu can almost imagine how much free "traffic" he can earn once this humble banner is hung up that day. "Of course, Wu Jiu would not say that such a business opportunity was given away for nothing, so he picked up the crude banner and looked at it for a while, then smiled and gave Wu Ba a few words.
Therefore, after the first competition, the merchants in both the VIP area and the ordinary area got the news that there will be an advertisement rental service outside the VIP box!
For a while, the guides became busy again, and they began to sell the so-called VIP area advertising space with eloquence!
"As long as you only need three purple feather coins, you can let all the spectators at the venue know about your store. Not only that, we also give free advertising banners. The content of the banners can be made according to the needs of customers. The pictures will be released on the same day and rented for three consecutive days. Above, there are special discounts!" The guides took the banners they made overnight and sold them to their heart's content. Compared with the rough animal skin with a simple advertisement written on it, this well-crafted advertisement banner is more exquisite. There are too many, just see it, in addition to the advertising words in the central core position, the store location, and even the discount information are all on the list. After reasonable layout, this advertising banner has become an eye-catching artistic creation. Some merchants who were already a little excited made up their minds directly at this moment, and even more flexible, they have already decided to use this advertisement as a long-term shop promotion immediately after the competition.
Thus, overnight, this new thing produced by the ingenuity of a small businessman brought Wu Jiu a lot of money.
After the guides gathered the opinions of the customers one by one, the factory began to work overtime and make production at night. On the second day, various advertising banners were freshly baked and hung on both sides of the corridor bridge box, which was very eye-catching. eyeball.
Because of the appearance of advertising banners, some big buyers who were originally hidden in the ordinary area also quietly appeared. There is no difference in the cost of the box, and when it comes to paying the advertising fee, they are extremely active, and everyone starts to compete for the good positions in those core areas.
Wu Jiu has a higher opinion of such people. Compared with the group of "distinguished guests" who came here with a large number of "distinguished guests" who came here with their wealth exposed at the beginning, these wealth is not revealed, and they are willing to "suffer in ordinary areas" in order to save money. "Guys are more like a qualified businessman.
In the ensuing race schedule, the merchants used the advertising space to promote their shops, and Wu Jiu’s side received an extra amount of advertising fees. It can be said that everyone is happy. , except for a very few caring people who turned their shrewd eyes on the two corridors hanging in the air, more spectators are most concerned about the event itself.
"Why does this so-called competition have three arenas?" At this moment, in the private box, Bi Yu asked a question that almost all spectators would ask.
As one of the leaders behind the Fangfang tribe, Biyu naturally pays special attention to the game itself. Although he doesn't have much hope for a big victory at Wujiu's home court, he still hopes that his tribe can be present Showing the corresponding strength during the competition, Bi Yu's intuition told Biyu that the final result of this competition will have a very profound impact on the plains in the future.
Originally, he hoped to ask Snake Li about the entire schedule and the corresponding rules, and adjust the corresponding countermeasures accordingly, but Wu Jiu's two rules of living in different areas and curfew at midnight made Snake Li and Biyu I completely cut off contact, and if I want to know the specific return journey of the game, I can only watch it on the spot that day.
At this moment, holding the guide map purchased at a high price, Biyu looked at the smiling guide in front of him and asked the doubts in his heart.
"I knew that my lord would ask this question," the guide said calmly, "In order to make this event more exciting, my lord Wu Zhu has worked hard and made preparations at the beginning. The largest arena in the center of the competition area is used as the main arena, and there are two sub-arenas for the confrontation match and the exhibition match. The main arena is the competition venue for the four-part hunting area. It is held from early morning to noon every day for four days. The four tribes send Each elite, catch the right competition, one point to compete, as for the competition and exhibition competition, it is open to all guests, it is a platform for everyone to show their personal bravery and talent, anyone can participate, and the final winner will have generous prizes, The competition is set up every afternoon for six days.
Every day, the competitions in the main competition area are only held in the morning. After noon, the two competition areas will officially start. As for the two competitions, how do you compare them? Know,"
Faced with Bi Yu's question, the guide rarely puts an end to it. However, this technique of saying half and leaving the other half undoubtedly aroused the audience's curiosity. After the morning game, they all went back to the other two competition areas to find out.
Seeing that the guide was unwilling to say more, just waiting for everyone to find out the answer, Biyu didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked what she cared most about, the competition system of the hunting area competition.
He raised his eyes to look at the arena under the high platform, but he saw that the soil on the huge oval-shaped arena had been rammed down to make it look particularly flat. On it, regular lines were drawn with white colored powder stones. The irregular elliptical field was divided into a more regular rectangle, and several lines from the center to the sides even more faintly divided the field into two. Apart from these puzzling lines, what is even more puzzling is that the two At the edge of the field, two wooden poles several meters high were erected respectively.
I saw that weird-looking wooden pole deeply stuck in the soil, and at the top, there was a hollow ring, which seemed to have no deterrent force and no practical effect, making people very puzzled. When I secretly guessed whether that peculiar wooden pole might be some kind of special blessing totem in Yongtai tribe, the guide finally started to explain.
"This competition should be very different from all the competitions you have seen in the past. My Lord Wu Zhu hates blood and blood, so I came up with this tricky way..."
Just as Bi Yu was listening intently, the voices of countless guides sounded in various gathering areas of the arena.
"...The venue for this competition is the rectangular area marked by the pink stones. After the competition starts, each team wears different colors of clothing and sends eleven contestants to the field. The rules of the competition are very simple. After the competition starts, the referee It will throw a ball made of animal skin into the air, and the two teams will show their talents to snatch the ball. The person who grabs the ball needs to run to the area where the opponent is. Score by sending the ball into the basket on the opponent's sideline wood!
The game lasts for a whole morning and is divided into two halves. After the game is over, the player with the highest score wins!The four teams were divided into two groups by lottery. On the first two days, the group stage was played. On the third day, the two teams eliminated in the group stage were ranked third and fourth. On the last day, the two winning teams competed. The last champion!
The guides talked about the rules of the game enthusiastically. Most of them have seen this kind of ball game that has become popular in the Yongtai tribe military, and even a few have personally participated in the competition. Naturally, they are quite familiar with it. When talking about the rules, it is even more straightforward.
In fact, this new sport, which is talked about by all the guides, is just a mixture of modern basketball, football and rugby. Extract the basic rules and describe them with the simplest words and sentences, so as to be catchy and easy to remember.
After all, for this brand-new ball game, he can't force those orc warriors with only muscles in their minds to patiently familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations. This will not only greatly reduce the interest in the game, but also make it difficult to promote. Jiu's foresight, this sport with simple rules and novel gameplay quickly spread among the Yongtai Army. Not only the soldiers were very enthusiastic about it, but the generals also highly respected it.
For ordinary soldiers, the biggest rule of this game is that there are no rules. As long as you throw the ball into the opponent's basket with bravery, you will win a round, but for generals, this small game is more like two battles. The eleven players sent by the two sides are two evenly matched combat units. It seems to be a simple and irregular game. If you want to win a big victory in one fell swoop, not only must the players take into account both bravery and dexterity, but also need Pay attention to a certain amount of personnel cooperation, this is simply a bloodless small war!
This kind of perception undoubtedly made the generals more enthusiastic about organizing such events. Soon, in addition to the official competitions hosted by Rong Xiao, the occasional competitions between generals also blossomed and were fully promoted.
When the generals slowly began to ponder the merits and demerits of each battle, as well as the gains and losses when arranging troops, and finally applied them to actual combat, the combat power of the army, invisibly, had a brand-new improvement. And this was obviously something Wu Jiu and Rong Xiao didn't expect at first.
Not to mention the brand-new atmosphere in the Yongtai Army, returning to the hunting competition itself, facing the detailed explanations given by the guides, most of the listeners were not suddenly enlightened, but even more puzzled.
After all, in this barren and primitive area, this kind of well-regulated ball game is really unheard of. Not to mention the ordinary spectators who have little knowledge, it is those well-informed businessmen or tribal leaders. Cognition, most of them only stay in tribal warfare and group hunting. The kind of competition that the guide said has already exceeded all the experience they have accumulated in the first half of their lives.
Before the confused spectators could figure out what a series of technical terms such as sideline, foul, penalty, and scoring meant, the game had already quietly begun.
Amidst the din and clamor, two teams entered the arena separately. On one side was the Yongtai Tribal Team under the jurisdiction of Rong Xiao, in black uniforms; The Zongrong tribe under the jurisdiction of Zhiwu, although the two teams are not large in number, they are better in the uniform costumes. As soon as they come out, they have a different kind of momentum, which is particularly eye-catching.
Their appearance attracted most people's attention. For a moment, all spectators' eyes fell on these two uniformly dressed and seemingly imposing teams!
However, the two teams slowly entered the arena and stood at both ends of the square arena. When the leaders of the tribes in the respective teams looked at each other, the tense atmosphere immediately appeared. This inexplicable confrontation atmosphere was accompanied by A majestic coercion instantly enveloped the entire space, and the noisy venue just now fell silent. The guests not only closed their mouths silently, some even held their breath unconsciously.
In this silent silence, countless pairs of eyes began to look at all the members of the two teams in detail. The uniform and unique uniforms of the team members first aroused everyone's interest. I don't know what material they are made of. The tight-fitting fabric not only looks light-thin and comfortable, and is easy to exercise, but also outlines the body line very well, making those orcs who like to dress up look hot.
And the spectator who saw it, after fully inspecting everyone's clothes, immediately discovered another peculiarity of the other party's clothes, which was that the back of each team member's coat was stitched together to mark Digital cloth, what is this for?For a while, many people had such doubts in their hearts.
In addition to these envy and confusion about the clothes, there are a few people in the crowd who have heard the rules and are particularly active. After carefully counting the number of players in the two teams, they have new questions. According to the rules, the two teams each have eleven players to participate in the competition, but there are forty or fifty players from both sides standing on the field at the moment, so what is going on?Could it be that the rules you just heard are wrong?
At this moment when one question after another kept pouring out, and a small-scale discussion was about to start soon, an exceptionally loud voice suddenly interrupted, interrupting everyone's thoughts in an instant.
This penetrating voice sounded from the intersection of corridors and bridges in mid-air. The speaker's voice was so loud that it resounded throughout the venue. Everyone followed the voice and looked at the source of the sound, and soon saw a A tall, thin man in a bright red uniform, holding a trumpet-shaped animal horn.
Faced with countless pairs of eyes cast on him, the man did not panic, and even puffed out his chest proudly. He was actually standing on the roof of a box at the intersection of corridor bridges. The other VIP boxes are not the same, it is almost three times the size of other boxes, and this also makes the man's activity space larger. At this moment, the man is holding the animal horn in his hand, and accepting it fiercely on the platform. Attention salutes came from all directions, as if an actor had stepped onto the stage preset for him.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Tuhao from the Yongtai Tribe, a game commentator. I will be the one to explain this game!" Under everyone's gaze, Tuhao proudly introduced himself After all, he ignored the whispers around him, and said to himself: "I think everyone has just listened to the specious explanation of the game rules by the guides, and they are confused and don't understand the big meaning of the game. Part of the content, don't worry, in the next time, I will explain all this to you more intuitively, believe me, after listening to my explanation, you will not only understand everything about the rules of the game, but also enjoy it better this game,"
Tuhao confidently uttered bold words, and after he finished speaking, he winked playfully at all the audience, causing countless spectators in the auditorium to involuntarily show knowing smiles.
It has to be said that the appearance of Tuhao made the vast majority of viewers secretly relieved because they didn't understand the rules just now. After all, no one wants to watch a game after paying a huge price. Do not understand the game.
After stabilizing everyone's emotions with a few words, Tuhao dutifully started his commentary, and saw him pointing to the two teams below the veranda and saying: "First of all, I would like to introduce the two teams participating today , on my left, the team in black competition uniforms is from my mother clan, the Yongtai tribe, and the team leader is Lord Rong Xiao, the patriarch of our clan," Tuhao introduced with admiration, and after finishing speaking, it was very natural With a deep salute, Rong Xiao followed his introduction and nodded to the audience who were looking at him, which attracted a lot of cheers.
For a moment, most of the spectators cast their curious or fearful eyes on Rong Xiao's too young face, and muttered to themselves, this handsome young man with a cold face seems to be somewhat different from the ugly and terrifying demon king in the rumors. access,
Speaking of which, Rong Xiao's name was very popular in Xiyuan during the past ten months. As a leader of the miscellaneous tribe, he was able to wipe out the roaring tribe from the territory of Xiyuan with a single battle. It is impossible not to attract attention to such a terrifying combat power and such an astonishing record. Of course, this reputation has nothing to do with any good words, and it is appropriate to describe it with a fierce name. With this vicious name, most of the spectators imagined Rong Xiao as ugly and terrifying. Now that he saw the real person, he was surprised, but the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.
With his outstanding appearance, the patriarch of the Yongtai tribe has saved a lot of impressions in the hearts of most people. Those foreign warriors with exceptionally high spirit power took a breath unconsciously when they saw Rong Xiao. The young man in front of them gave them a feeling of bottomless depth. The coercion that would be released unconsciously has completely subsided, and at a glance, it is impossible to judge the depth of his soul power!
Regardless of the mood of the spectators around, after solemnly introducing his mother's team, Tuhao turned to the other side and said loudly: "As for the team standing on my right, everyone is familiar with it. Zongrong tribe, one of the big tribes from the plain! And their leader is also the patriarch of their tribe, Lord Zhiwu!"
This time, the cheers in the crowd were much smaller. After all, compared to the famous Rong Xiao, both Zhiwu and his Zongrong tribe were much less well-known. Except for the neighboring tribes, everyone Most of the orcs who came from afar had a limited understanding of the Mane Rong tribe in yellow clothes, and they were just a team participating in the same competition.
Facing the indifferent reactions around him, Zhi Wu didn't take it seriously, and remained silent as usual.
But the condescending Tuhao interjected blankly at this moment: "Come on, Lord Zhiwu, raise your hand to say hello to everyone, don't be shy, no matter what the result of the next game is, you must first make a good impression on everyone Isn't it?" Tuhao's slightly teasing tone caused everyone to laugh together.
Zhi Wu looked up silently, but he didn't have a seizure after all, he raised his arms obediently, and waved his hands to the spectators around him just like Rong Xiao did just now.
"That's right," Tuhao said in a tone that should have been so in response to Zhiwu's forbearance, and then he shrugged regretfully, and continued to joke: "Although, I really want to say goodbye to you soon. I would like to send a few words of congratulations for the upcoming game, but you undoubtedly won the next lottery during the draw, so I can only say, good luck to you." As time passed, the laughter around became louder, and many People began to be familiar with Tuhao's way of speaking, and slowly caught up with the rhythm,
Of course, there were also people who couldn’t laugh. Tuhao’s speech directly sent the Zhiwu team to the losing side. Glaring at Tuhao,
Fortunately, Tuhao knows how to accept it when he sees it. Seeing that one side of the competition is about to become angry, he immediately chooses to change the subject, and he stretches out two fingers and says in a very angry way: "Seeing the contestants on the field Ladies and gentlemen, there should be two questions in everyone's mind. One is the number of participants. Just now it was clearly stated that each team will play with 11 players. How come there are so many players in each team now? Tuhao pointed directly at the core, It also made more people slowly recall the series of competition rules that the guide just said,
"It's actually very simple," Tuhao said in a calm and unhurried manner, "Except for the eleven starting players, the rest are all reserve players. The competition is fierce, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps or injuries so that they cannot continue the game." The personnel, and the rest, will take the place of those who cannot continue the game, and let the game go on.”
With Tuhao's explanation, the guys who were still puzzled just now let out a moment of sudden enlightenment, and Tuhao's explanation obviously went beyond that. He continued to point to the number plates on the backs of all participating players and said: " Presumably, there are still many people who are confused about this nameplate marked with numbers on the back. Let me briefly talk about its function. In the fierce competition, it is an important prop to mark the identity. In the competition, every When a contestant has a wonderful performance, I will directly report their number plate, and you can also cheer for them according to the number plate,
Of course, these numbers are also convenient for our referees to make judgments. The two beautiful gray feathers in gray robes on the sidelines are the referees of this event. They will not only record each game with powder stones on the scoreboard Changes, for those disobedient and foul contestants, they have the right to make corresponding punishments. Have you seen the bone flute hanging on their chests? That scary little thing can easily make the most ear-piercing sound,
And whenever someone violates the rules, the referees will blow the bone flute, and at that time, an unruly contestant will be sent off, oh, I hope it never sounds.Tuhao picked out his ears while complaining, as if he had heard enough of the piercing sound of the bone flute, which caused a burst of laughter from around.
After a short teasing, Tuhao got serious, and saw him solemnly said: "Okay, this is the end of the simple explanation. Next, we will have the thing that everyone is looking forward to, the competition, let us have a good time." The contestants and referees are asked to stand in their respective positions."
As Tuhao's voice fell, the two teams that were standing on both sides of the field just now stood on both sides of the middle line, and the serious gray-feathered referee came between the two teams with a ball , I saw, he put the bone flute to his mouth, and then made a movement of throwing the ball upwards. Accompanied by the particularly ear-piercing sound of the bone flute, the game finally started!
After a long warm-up, the "Hunting Competition" finally kicked off amidst the endless expectations of all the guests. Although the entire competition area ushered in the busiest day in several days, everything was still in order , and these various guests from all over the world, after more than two days of personal experience, also know some "rules". An orderly queue, under the guidance of the soldiers, slowly enters the arena they are interested in, and the service in the VIP area is even higher. During the period, the VIPs will not only have special guides to welcome them into the venue, but will also have Their own dedicated independent box.
At first, those wealthy guests secretly felt sorry for the rather expensive "box occupancy fee", but the good experience in the box finally let them throw that little bit of reluctance to the sky.

The "additional services" bound to the VIP area, and even a voice from the general area appeared, asking whether these VIP boxes are available and the corresponding price.
Wu Jiu is not surprised by such inquiries. The personal demonstrations made by the VIPs are the most intuitive living advertisements. Those potential buyers hidden in ordinary areas, as long as they are strong enough, will not mind spending a little more money to experience it for a day. After all, Who doesn't like the feeling of looking down on all beings from a height.
The sales of the vacant boxes were booming, and when the feather coins in Wu Jiu's small cash box were getting higher and higher, an inquiry from a guest aroused his interest.
"A guest asked if we could hang "decorations" on the outside of the VIP seats." Wu Ba came in through the curtain and said conveniently.

Originally, he hoped to ask Snake Li about the entire schedule and the corresponding rules, and adjust the corresponding countermeasures accordingly, but Wu Jiu's two rules of living in different areas and curfew at midnight made Snake Li and Biyu I completely cut off contact, and if I want to know the specific return journey of the game, I can only watch it on the spot that day.
At this moment, holding the guide map purchased at a high price, Biyu looked at the smiling guide in front of him and asked the doubts in his heart.
"I knew that my lord would ask this question," the guide said calmly, "In order to make this event more exciting, my lord Wu Zhu has worked hard and made preparations at the beginning. The largest arena in the center of the competition area is used as the main arena, and there are two sub-arenas for the confrontation match and the exhibition match. The main arena is the competition venue for the four-part hunting area. It is held from early morning to noon every day for four days. The four tribes send Each elite, catch the right competition, one point to compete, as for the competition and exhibition competition, it is open to all guests, it is a platform for everyone to show their personal bravery and talent, anyone can participate, and the final winner will have generous prizes, The competition is set up every afternoon for six days.
Every day, the competitions in the main competition area are only held in the morning. After noon, the two competition areas will officially start. As for the two competitions, how do you compare them? Know,"
Faced with Bi Yu's question, the guide rarely puts an end to it. However, this technique of saying half and leaving the other half undoubtedly aroused the audience's curiosity. After the morning game, they all went back to the other two competition areas to find out.
Seeing that the guide was unwilling to say more, just waiting for everyone to find out the answer, Biyu didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked what she cared most about, the competition system of the hunting area competition.
He raised his eyes to look at the arena under the high platform, but he saw that the soil on the huge oval-shaped arena had been rammed down to make it look particularly flat. On it, regular lines were drawn with white colored powder stones. The irregular elliptical field was divided into a more regular rectangle, and several lines from the center to the sides even more faintly divided the field into two. Apart from these puzzling lines, what is even more puzzling is that the two At the edge of the field, two wooden poles several meters high were erected respectively.
I saw that weird-looking wooden pole deeply stuck in the soil, and at the top, there was a hollow ring, which seemed to have no deterrent force and no practical effect, making people very puzzled. When I secretly guessed whether that peculiar wooden pole might be some kind of special blessing totem in Yongtai tribe, the guide finally started to explain.
"This competition should be very different from all the competitions you have seen in the past. My Lord Wu Zhu hates blood and blood, so I came up with this tricky way..."
Just as Bi Yu was listening intently, the voices of countless guides sounded in various gathering areas of the arena.
"...The venue for this competition is the rectangular area marked by the pink stones. After the competition starts, each team wears different colors of clothing and sends eleven contestants to the field. The rules of the competition are very simple. After the competition starts, the referee It will throw a ball made of animal skin into the air, and the two teams will show their talents to snatch the ball. The person who grabs the ball needs to run to the area where the opponent is. Score by sending the ball into the basket on the opponent's sideline wood!
The game lasts for a whole morning and is divided into two halves. After the game is over, the player with the highest score wins!The four teams were divided into two groups by lottery. On the first two days, the group stage was played. On the third day, the two teams eliminated in the group stage were ranked third and fourth. On the last day, the two winning teams competed. The last champion!
The guides talked about the rules of the game enthusiastically. Most of them have seen this kind of ball game that has become popular in the Yongtai tribe military, and even a few have personally participated in the competition. Naturally, they are quite familiar with it. When talking about the rules, it is even more straightforward.
In fact, this new sport, which is talked about by all the guides, is just a mixture of modern basketball, football and rugby. Extract the basic rules and describe them with the simplest words and sentences, so as to be catchy and easy to remember.
After all, for this brand-new ball game, he can't force those orc warriors with only muscles in their minds to patiently familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations. This will not only greatly reduce the interest in the game, but also make it difficult to promote. Jiu's foresight, this sport with simple rules and novel gameplay quickly spread among the Yongtai Army. Not only the soldiers were very enthusiastic about it, but the generals also highly respected it.
For ordinary soldiers, the biggest rule of this game is that there are no rules. As long as you throw the ball into the opponent's basket with bravery, you will win a round, but for generals, this small game is more like two battles. The eleven players sent by the two sides are two evenly matched combat units. It seems to be a simple and irregular game. If you want to win a big victory in one fell swoop, not only must the players take into account both bravery and dexterity, but also need Pay attention to a certain amount of personnel cooperation, this is simply a bloodless small war!
This kind of perception undoubtedly made the generals more enthusiastic about organizing such events. Soon, in addition to the official competitions hosted by Rong Xiao, the occasional competitions between generals also blossomed and were fully promoted.
When the generals slowly began to ponder the merits and demerits of each battle, as well as the gains and losses when arranging troops, and finally applied them to actual combat, the combat power of the army, invisibly, had a brand-new improvement. And this was obviously something Wu Jiu and Rong Xiao didn't expect at first.
Not to mention the brand-new atmosphere in the Yongtai Army, returning to the hunting competition itself, facing the detailed explanations given by the guides, most of the listeners were not suddenly enlightened, but even more puzzled.
After all, in this barren and primitive area, this kind of well-regulated ball game is really unheard of. Not to mention the ordinary spectators who have little knowledge, it is those well-informed businessmen or tribal leaders. Cognition, most of them only stay in tribal warfare and group hunting. The kind of competition that the guide said has already exceeded all the experience they have accumulated in the first half of their lives.
Before the confused spectators could figure out what a series of technical terms such as sideline, foul, penalty, and scoring meant, the game had already quietly begun.
Amidst the din and clamor, two teams entered the arena separately. On one side was the Yongtai Tribal Team under the jurisdiction of Rong Xiao, in black uniforms; The Zongrong tribe under the jurisdiction of Zhiwu, although the two teams are not large in number, they are better in the uniform costumes. As soon as they come out, they have a different kind of momentum, which is particularly eye-catching.
Their appearance attracted most people's attention. For a moment, all spectators' eyes fell on these two uniformly dressed and seemingly imposing teams!
However, the two teams slowly entered the arena and stood at both ends of the square arena. When the leaders of the tribes in the respective teams looked at each other, the tense atmosphere immediately appeared. This inexplicable confrontation atmosphere was accompanied by A majestic coercion instantly enveloped the entire space, and the noisy venue just now fell silent. The guests not only closed their mouths silently, some even held their breath unconsciously.
In this silent silence, countless pairs of eyes began to look at all the members of the two teams in detail. The uniform and unique uniforms of the team members first aroused everyone's interest. I don't know what material they are made of. The tight-fitting fabric not only looks light-thin and comfortable, and is easy to exercise, but also outlines the body line very well, making those orcs who like to dress up look hot.
And the spectator who saw it, after fully inspecting everyone's clothes, immediately discovered another peculiarity of the other party's clothes, which was that the back of each team member's coat was stitched together to mark Digital cloth, what is this for?For a while, many people had such doubts in their hearts.
In addition to these envy and confusion about the clothes, there are a few people in the crowd who have heard the rules and are particularly active. After carefully counting the number of players in the two teams, they have new questions. According to the rules, the two teams each have eleven players to participate in the competition, but there are forty or fifty players from both sides standing on the field at the moment, so what is going on?Could it be that the rules you just heard are wrong?
At this moment when one question after another kept pouring out, and a small-scale discussion was about to start soon, an exceptionally loud voice suddenly interrupted, interrupting everyone's thoughts in an instant.
This penetrating voice sounded from the intersection of corridors and bridges in mid-air. The speaker's voice was so loud that it resounded throughout the venue. Everyone followed the voice and looked at the source of the sound, and soon saw a A tall, thin man in a bright red uniform, holding a trumpet-shaped animal horn.
Faced with countless pairs of eyes cast on him, the man did not panic, and even puffed out his chest proudly. He was actually standing on the roof of a box at the intersection of corridor bridges. The other VIP boxes are not the same, it is almost three times the size of other boxes, and this also makes the man's activity space larger. At this moment, the man is holding the animal horn in his hand, and accepting it fiercely on the platform. Attention salutes came from all directions, as if an actor had stepped onto the stage preset for him.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Tuhao from the Yongtai Tribe, a game commentator. I will be the one to explain this game!" Under everyone's gaze, Tuhao proudly introduced himself After all, he ignored the whispers around him, and said to himself: "I think everyone has just listened to the specious explanation of the game rules by the guides, and they are confused and don't understand the big meaning of the game. Part of the content, don't worry, in the next time, I will explain all this to you more intuitively, believe me, after listening to my explanation, you will not only understand everything about the rules of the game, but also enjoy it better this game,"
Tuhao confidently uttered bold words, and after he finished speaking, he winked playfully at all the audience, causing countless spectators in the auditorium to involuntarily show knowing smiles.
It has to be said that the appearance of Tuhao made the vast majority of viewers secretly relieved because they didn't understand the rules just now. After all, no one wants to watch a game after paying a huge price. Do not understand the game.
After stabilizing everyone's emotions with a few words, Tuhao dutifully started his commentary, and saw him pointing to the two teams below the veranda and saying: "First of all, I would like to introduce the two teams participating today , on my left, the team in black competition uniforms is from my mother clan, the Yongtai tribe, and the team leader is Lord Rong Xiao, the patriarch of our clan," Tuhao introduced with admiration, and after finishing speaking, it was very natural With a deep salute, Rong Xiao followed his introduction and nodded to the audience who were looking at him, which attracted a lot of cheers.
For a moment, most of the spectators cast their curious or fearful eyes on Rong Xiao's too young face, and muttered to themselves, this handsome young man with a cold face seems to be somewhat different from the ugly and terrifying demon king in the rumors. access,
Speaking of which, Rong Xiao's name was very popular in Xiyuan during the past ten months. As a leader of the miscellaneous tribe, he was able to wipe out the roaring tribe from the territory of Xiyuan with a single battle. It is impossible not to attract attention to such a terrifying combat power and such an astonishing record. Of course, this reputation has nothing to do with any good words, and it is appropriate to describe it with a fierce name. With this vicious name, most of the spectators imagined Rong Xiao as ugly and terrifying. Now that he saw the real person, he was surprised, but the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.
With his outstanding appearance, the patriarch of the Yongtai tribe has saved a lot of impressions in the hearts of most people. Those foreign warriors with exceptionally high spirit power took a breath unconsciously when they saw Rong Xiao. The young man in front of them gave them a feeling of bottomless depth. The coercion that would be released unconsciously has completely subsided, and at a glance, it is impossible to judge the depth of his soul power!
Regardless of the mood of the spectators around, after solemnly introducing his mother's team, Tuhao turned to the other side and said loudly: "As for the team standing on my right, everyone is familiar with it. Zongrong tribe, one of the big tribes from the plain! And their leader is also the patriarch of their tribe, Lord Zhiwu!"
This time, the cheers in the crowd were much smaller. After all, compared to the famous Rong Xiao, both Zhiwu and his Zongrong tribe were much less well-known. Except for the neighboring tribes, everyone Most of the orcs who came from afar had a limited understanding of the Mane Rong tribe in yellow clothes, and they were just a team participating in the same competition.
Facing the indifferent reactions around him, Zhi Wu didn't take it seriously, and remained silent as usual.
But the condescending Tuhao interjected blankly at this moment: "Come on, Lord Zhiwu, raise your hand to say hello to everyone, don't be shy, no matter what the result of the next game is, you must first make a good impression on everyone Isn't it?" Tuhao's slightly teasing tone caused everyone to laugh together.
Zhi Wu looked up silently, but he didn't have a seizure after all, he raised his arms obediently, and waved his hands to the spectators around him just like Rong Xiao did just now.
"That's right," Tuhao said in a tone that should have been so in response to Zhiwu's forbearance, and then he shrugged regretfully, and continued to joke: "Although, I really want to say goodbye to you soon. I would like to send a few words of congratulations for the upcoming game, but you undoubtedly won the next lottery during the draw, so I can only say, good luck to you." As time passed, the laughter around became louder, and many People began to be familiar with Tuhao's way of speaking, and slowly caught up with the rhythm,
Of course, there were also people who couldn’t laugh. Tuhao’s speech directly sent the Zhiwu team to the losing side. Glaring at Tuhao,
Fortunately, Tuhao knows how to accept it when he sees it. Seeing that one side of the competition is about to become angry, he immediately chooses to change the subject, and he stretches out two fingers and says in a very angry way: "Seeing the contestants on the field Ladies and gentlemen, there should be two questions in everyone's mind. One is the number of participants. Just now it was clearly stated that each team will play with 11 players. How come there are so many players in each team now? Tuhao pointed directly at the core, It also made more people slowly recall the series of competition rules that the guide just said,
"It's actually very simple," Tuhao said in a calm and unhurried manner, "Except for the eleven starting players, the rest are all reserve players. The competition is fierce, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps or injuries so that they cannot continue the game." The personnel, and the rest, will take the place of those who cannot continue the game, and let the game go on.”
With Tuhao's explanation, the guys who were still puzzled just now let out a moment of sudden enlightenment, and Tuhao's explanation obviously went beyond that. He continued to point to the number plates on the backs of all participating players and said: " Presumably, there are still many people who are confused about this nameplate marked with numbers on the back. Let me briefly talk about its function. In the fierce competition, it is an important prop to mark the identity. In the competition, every When a contestant has a wonderful performance, I will directly report their number plate, and you can also cheer for them according to the number plate,
Of course, these numbers are also convenient for our referees to make judgments. The two beautiful gray feathers in gray robes on the sidelines are the referees of this event. They will not only record each game with powder stones on the scoreboard Changes, for those disobedient and foul contestants, they have the right to make corresponding punishments. Have you seen the bone flute hanging on their chests? That scary little thing can easily make the most ear-piercing sound,
And whenever someone violates the rules, the referees will blow the bone flute, and at that time, an unruly contestant will be sent off, oh, I hope it never sounds.Tuhao picked out his ears while complaining, as if he had heard enough of the piercing sound of the bone flute, which caused a burst of laughter from around.
After a short teasing, Tuhao got serious, and saw him solemnly said: "Okay, this is the end of the simple explanation. Next, we will have the thing that everyone is looking forward to, the competition, let us have a good time." The contestants and referees are asked to stand in their respective positions."
As Tuhao's voice fell, the two teams that were standing on both sides of the field just now stood on both sides of the middle line, and the serious gray-feathered referee came between the two teams with a ball , I saw, he put the bone flute to his mouth, and then made a movement of throwing the ball upwards. Accompanied by the particularly ear-piercing sound of the bone flute, the game finally started!
