Chapter 586

【Teleport preparing……】

【Teleport!】

Light and shadow drifted before his eyes.

In an instant, he appeared on a massive battlefield.

Around him were towering city walls, just like the ones on the outskirts of Snow Plain City, nearly reaching into the clouds.

Standing on top and looking down, he hadn't thought much of it.

But standing on the battlefield and looking up, he realized these walls were truly enormous.

Behind the walls should be the spectator stands.

But the distance was too far; Zhao Chi couldn't see them clearly at all.

He was here as a contestant now, so of course he didn't have the privilege of casually looking around.

At this moment, Gu Qing and the others were all by Zhao Chi's side.

They had never seen a scene like this, and felt curious about everything around them.

But they all knew they had come to fight, so after a quick glance at their surroundings, they all focused their attention, staring straight ahead.

Zhao Chi was also observing his surroundings.

Beneath his feet was grassland.

Around him was sparse woodland, very much like the environment of his own territory.

The pre-match setup hadn't let him choose the terrain or anything like that.

So the environment was probably automatically matched by the system based on the contestants' territories.

His line of sight was blocked now, unable to see scenes too far away.

"My lord, there seems to be something transparent blocking the way ahead, we can't get through."

Gu Qing pressed both palms against the air, but it looked as though she were pressing them against an invisible wall.

"The match hasn't started yet, our range of movement is limited. It's fine — once the battle begins in a bit, we'll form up into battle formation."

"My lord, look behind you."

Tang Ruan pointed at a giant crystal behind them.

The crystal was blue in color, continuously emitting a fine, delicate glow.

Zhao Chi said: "This is the Territory Stone I told you about. If it's destroyed, we lose. But we can also win by destroying the enemy's Territory Stone."

【Countdown: 1 minute……】

The system prompt came again.

At this moment, although Zhao Chi could only see the scenery right before him, the host's voice reached his ears.

"Dear friends.

"The next match on Battlefield 4 is about to begin.

"Please remember to place your bets in time. Although the odds aren't as high as at the very start, only one round has passed, so the odds are still very considerable.

"Please don't miss this chance.

"Now, let me introduce both contestants.

"On the right is Xiao Rui from Stream Village, of the fearless Skeleton race.

"The Xiao family's skeletons are no ordinary force.

"On the left is the contestant Zhao Chi from Stream Village, of the somewhat unusual Human race.

"The Zhao family's strength is also quite good.

"Who would have thought both contestants this time come from Stream Village — the battle is sure to be spectacular.

"Please enjoy what's coming next.

"Let the match begin!"

As the host finished speaking, the system prompt came at the same time.

【Match Start!】

One of Gu Qing's hands had been resting against the air wall.

Suddenly it gave way.

"My lord! The wall is gone!"

Zhao Chi pointed ahead: "Exactly, the match has begun. Everyone, advance — kill the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The female soldiers were full of fighting spirit, one and all.

Zhao Chi had only fielded 50 people this time.

Tang Ruan led 20 Iron-Armored Female Spearmen at the front.

Qi Yue's 20 Female Swordswomen were at the rear.

Zhao Chi and Gu Qing led 6 Female Archers in the center.

Just 50 people in total, so issuing orders and giving commands was very convenient.

Five minutes later, after weaving through the forest for a few hundred meters, the view ahead gradually opened up.

Ahead was a stretch of muddy ground.

Further in the distance, a vast mass of skeletons could be seen.

If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Rui's side had a quota of 100.

Skeletons had very low attributes, but could replenish 10 per day — twice as many as humans.

But those skeletons weren't white; they looked somewhat blackened.

The two sides were quite far apart, so Zhao Chi couldn't see very clearly.

But Gu Qing's perception was excellent and she could see far: "My lord, those skeletons are all wearing leather armor."

No wonder they look so dark and murky.

Skeletons are humanoid creatures, so most human equipment can be worn on them.

Including certain fashion items.

They can also use all kinds of weapons.

"Can you make out the weapons?"

"Weapons…" Gu Qing narrowed her eyes: "Quite a mix — there are sword-and-shield, spears, bows and arrows, and ten holding staves."

Holding staves?

Skeleton mages!

And ten of them at that.

Not bad — skeleton mages are a special tier-2 unit.

Wonder how Xiao Rui got them.

But the Xiao family is powerful, so this isn't anything difficult.

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Spread the formation out a bit, watch out for the skeleton mages' fireballs and ice balls…"

He stopped mid-sentence.

No matter how strong the enemy was, they were still just skeletons.

No need to be this cautious.

Even skeleton mages definitely couldn't beat Gu Qing and the others.

Let alone Gu Qing and the others — even ordinary female blade soldiers could cut them down quickly.

Besides, this is a virtual battle.

No need to be so hesitant and overcautious.

If we die, we die.

Finish it fast.

Zhao Chi added: "Everyone use your skills, don't hold back your spiritual power — it'll be refilled next round."

Qiyue turned her head, her crimson lips parting slightly: "My lord, stamina will recover too, right?"

"That's right, go ahead and use spiritual technique and combat arts. Gu Qing, you hold back for now and just be the doctor."

Gu Qing nodded: "I get it~ I won't convert silk thread, but I can use blood healing, right?"

"That's right, begin!"

In an instant, all kinds of light flared up.
