National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

Jiang Yuan looked at something at his feet that he had not seen at all before, but now appeared suddenly, and was stunned.

"What's the matter, Brother Jiang?" Zhang Daocheng followed Jiang Yuan and looked down: "Does this thing look familiar?"

Jiang Yuan leaned over and picked it up.

Not only does it look familiar, this wooden sign is exactly the same except for the words on it and the wooden sign they obtained before.

Even the material feels the same.

"This word should be water, right?" Zhao Bingxia guessed, "This font seems to be different from that wooden sign."

"This is Han Li." Xiao Songqing said from the side, falling into his own thoughts because of the sudden discovery of the wooden sign.

"That wooden sign?" Ruan Jiang asked doubtfully, "Have you seen anything similar to this before?"

Jiang Yuan took out the wooden sign with the word "fire" engraved in small seals from his backpack and compared the two: "It feels like there is no difference except the font."

Because he has a backpack with him, things like this that may be useful at any time are entrusted to him for safekeeping.

"Yeah, I wonder what this is for?" Pamon scratched his head.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and took out another thing from his backpack, the book that the God of Prophecy had given him.

The god who told him at the beginning would naturally know its use when the time comes.

Now seems like the right time?

The thick and simple book exudes a dark blue divine light like the starry sky, seeping into the wooden plaques engraved with "Fire" and "Water".

The ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly began to shake violently.

The physically strong contestants present quickly stabilized their bodies. Just as they were about to explore the source of the vibration, they suddenly found that the ground had calmed down again.

Not only that, the light on the book Jiang Yuan took out just now dissipated and returned to its original appearance.

He tried to open the book, but still saw nothing.

So, what exactly happened?

The book has not changed, and the two wooden signs look equally unchanged.

The God of Prophecy said "the time has come", isn't it now?

But Cai Shu did respond.

Although this reaction just emitted a light and caused the ground to shake twice.

In this regard, no one present could figure out what happened.

Jiang Yuan held a book in one hand and two wooden signs in the other. After waiting for a while, he found that there was indeed no change in them, so he put them away.

"Since I don't know what the use of these is, why don't we put them aside for now and let's solve the current problem." As he said that, he looked at the boundary where he had previously smashed the crack with the wolf's end.

"Ok?"

Agreeing with what he said, the other contestants who looked at the crack were also surprised.

That crack is gone.

"Is it because of the book and wooden sign just now?" Ruan Jiang speculated.

"It's possible." Jiang Yuan nodded.

But even Xiao Songqing, the commander-in-chief of the team, couldn't deduce anything based on such a few clues.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

Paimon raised his hand to ask.

Xiao Songqing thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly closed his mouth.

Well, they don’t have to think about it anymore.

Because all the contestants can feel that there is a powerful group with demonic aura swimming towards this side.

It is the mermaids who are supposed to be unable to leave the divine seal in the mermaid sea.

Some of their auras are familiar to the contestants, after all, they have interacted with each other when introducing each other before.

But compared to those familiar smells, the contestants can feel more of a crisis.

Almost everyone, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, held on to their weapons and were ready to fight at any time.

Raze, who turned into a golden fish, was very excited at first.

"It's my people, they can leave the divine seal!"

Soon he became uneasy as the merfolk approached.

"It feels like something is wrong. It looks dangerous."

When the leader of the character group, the mermaid, appeared in everyone's eyes, Laze quickly swam behind Jiang Yuan: "Okay, so scary. Is that the patriarch? Why does the patriarch seem to be a big and dangerous monster?"

That's right, the leader with a noble face and graceful swaying of the fish tail is none other than Sarina, the leader of the mermaid tribe.

In other words, it is the former mermaid chief, Adeline, who controls the body of the current mermaid chief.

And it's the demonized Adeline who is infected by the demonic energy.

We haven't seen her for a long time, and her aura looks more dangerous, and the degree of being eroded by the demonic energy is also deeper.

Now, her hair, eyes, and fish tail have all turned into pitch black, deep and evil.

Even her originally fair skin turned dark.

She controlled the unconscious mermaids with black pupils behind her, and swam gracefully and slowly in front of the crowd. She sounded a lower voice than before, with a smile on her face.

"I've caught you, the sacrifices that can help Lord Poseidon increase his strength, and a little fish that slipped through the net."

"Let us serve as sacrifices?" Jiang Yuan stood in the center of the contestants. The staff of Humo had already appeared in his hand. "I don't think you can do this with your strength."

After all, if Raze hadn't activated the magic circle before, a sky star would have hit Adeline.

Apparently, the former mermaid clan leader who was eroded by the demonic energy did not realize at all that he had almost died suddenly, and he confidently thought that Jiang Yuan was being harsh.

Her smile turned cold, and she held the trident in her hand that was the same style as the weapon of Poseidon in the mural. She raised her arm and pointed it at Jiang Yuan.

"It's just a quick talk. There won't be another magic circle that will take you away now, so just be a sacrifice to Lord Poseidon!"

After saying that, the mermaids gathered behind her.

"Lord Patriarch," Raze swam out tremblingly and looked at Adeline, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Why did you do this?"

"You said that Jiang Yuan and the others are distinguished guests."

Adeline's black eyes stared at Raze, scaring the latter into retreating and hiding behind Jiang Yuan again.

She smiled contemptuously: "They are indeed very valuable guests. The valuable thing is that they can be sacrificed to Lord Poseidon as sacrifices, making Lord Poseidon even more powerful!"

After saying that, her expression suddenly changed, returning to the gentle and kind demeanor of Sarina in the past, and she persuaded in a coaxing tone: "Laze, think about it, it was Lord Poseidon who created us, and we gave him to Lord Poseidon. Isn’t it appropriate to offer the most precious sacrifice?”

"What's more, Master Poseidon just needs to borrow a little bit of their abilities. He won't hurt them. He can also send them away later. Isn't this great?"

Raze hesitated for a moment, then slowly swam out, seemingly persuaded.

No one was there to stop him.

All the contestants are waiting for his decision.
