It was not just Ye Fengs team that was disturbed. The few popular players were also treated the same way.
Jiang Shaoyang managed to dodge the attack with his superb reaction speed.
The other favorites for the championship were all eliminated, including the extremely intelligent professional Go player.
Although they kept complaining, the referee still eliminated them mercilessly.
As these teams were eliminated, the gamblers who had bought these teams also complained endlessly.
This meant that all the money they had bet was gone.
Although some people suspected that it was the organizerâs doing, they did not dare to say anything because they had no evidence. They could only admit that they were unlucky.
Just like that, the participating teams were eliminated one by one.
After about 20 minutes, there were only 50 teams left.
âThe match is over!â
As the hostâs voice sounded, the competition venue immediately fell into cheers.
Half of the players had been eliminated in this round, and there were many strong and popular players among them. The team that could successfully clear the round was indeed worth celebrating.
Even Zhuang Xiaojiao was extremely happy. She threw away the whip and went into Ye Fengs arms, rubbing against him.
âItâs enough as long as itâs almost there. No one takes advantage of you like this.â Ye Feng allowed her to hug him for a while. Seeing that she had no intention of letting go, he could only remind her.
Zhuang Xiaojiao blushed and glared at him. âWhat a blockhead.â
Although she was blaming him, she could not hide the excitement on her face.
It was not easy to pass the third stage.
After all, there were more than 1,000 people participating in this competition, and now there were only 100 people left on the field. It could be said that less than 10% of them were left.
It was already lunchtime, and everyone was starving. They had thought that the competition would be paused and they would go eat first.
However, the organizers obviously did not have such thoughts. After the third round of the competition ended, the host immediately went on stage.
âCongratulations to the 100 contestants present for passing the third round. Next, we will announce the rules of the fourth roundâ¦
When everyone heard this, they all began to complain.
âWhat? Do you still want to continue competing? Can you let us rest for a while? I donât even have the strength.â
âYeah. itâs already mealtime. Can you let us eat first before continuing?â
âItâs such a hot day, canât we even drink water? Iâm dying of thirst.â
âI need to rest for a while. I really canât hold on any longerâ¦â
Everyone had been playing under the hot sun for more than three hours. They were hot, sleepy, and hungry. They could not hold on any longer.
However, the emcee coldly snorted. âIf anyone feels that they canât hold on, they can withdraw from the competition. As long as you withdraw from the competition, you can rest as long as you want.â
When everyone heard his words, although they were secretly criticizing him, no one continued to complain.
It wasnât easy for them to reach this point. They could already see the dawn.
No one was willing to give up just like that.
The host did not waste any more time and continued to announce the rules.
âIn the fourth round, we will throw sandbags.â
âTwo people from each team will be tied together with one hand and one foot to avoid the sandbags thrown by the staff. The time limit is ten minutesâ¦â When the players heard the rules of the game, they complained again.
Most people had played the sandbag game when they were young. It mainly tested their reaction and agility.
However, the rules of the game now required the two of them to tie one of their hands and feet together. This greatly limited their dodging speed. They were simply living targets.
The host heard everyoneâs complaints and sneered again. âItâs still the same. If anyone doesnât want to play, they can quit at any time.â
Everyone complained, but no one would quit at this time. They could only accept it helplessly.
Immediately, a staff member came up with bandages and tied one of the hands and feet of each teamâs two players together.
Then, all the players gathered in the center of the field. Around the field, there was a staff member responsible for throwing sandbags.
These four people were all big and round, and each of them had an evil smile on their faces, as if they were looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Zhuang Xiaojiao looked at Ye Feng pitifully, âYe Feng, I might be dragging you down again.â
She was still very self-aware.
If it was Ye Feng himself, it would be very easy for him to dodge.
However, now that one of their hands and feet were tied together, his strength would definitely be greatly reduced.
Ye Feng gave her a comforting smile. âItâs alright, Iâm already used to it.â Zhuang Xiaojiao pouted unhappily. âWhy are you saying that? Are you making me sound like a useless person?â
Ye Feng blinked. âIsnât this the truth? Is there anything else to be confused about?â
âHmph, Iâm ignoring you!â Miss Zhuang was angry again. She wanted to turn around and leave, but then she remembered that their hands and feet were tied together. They could not move alone.
Just as the two of them were bickering, the host announced again, âThe competition begins!â
As soon as he finished speaking, a palm-sized sandbag was suddenly thrown from the hands of a staff member.
His strength was so great that the sandbag was like a cannonball, smashing directly into the calf of a player who couldnât dodge in time.
âAhâ¦â
The contestant immediately wailed and knelt on the ground.
He never dreamed that he would be eliminated as soon as he came up.
The teammate who was implicated by him also beat their chest and stomped their feet, feeling extremely depressed.
However, no matter what, elimination was elimination. There was no room for negotiation.
The two of them walked out of the arena dejectedly. The other players looked at their backs and felt sad.
It was possible that it would be their turn next.
Without giving anyone any time to catch their breath, the sandbag was thrown again.
However, this time, it was not thrown directly at the crowd. Instead, it was thrown to the staff on the other side.
The staff member used all his strength to throw the sandbag.
The players didnât expect the opponent to use this diversion move and were immediately caught off guard.
Another two contestants were eliminated!
