Chapter 462: 462. [Illusion Duel] (Part 4): The Sand Square of the Desert Emperor (Supplement 2/13)_1
The biggest challenge in this level is to plan a reasonable path for the sand soldiers. The aim is to avoid colliding with other players, walls, and consume as few energy blocks as possible. The smaller the team, the more flexible it is.
“10, 9, 8…1, 0.”
Countdown ended.
A hundred sand soldiers teams are like wild horses galloping in the square.
But the square is not as large as imagined, 300 sand soldiers squeezing together are very crowded, just like the subway at 6 p.m.
And everyone knows there’s a revival race, so they act recklessly.
Groups of sand soldiers are rushing around the field. In less than 20 seconds, the number of participating players becomes “81/100”.
Su Yu didn’t mess around with them because he quite liked playing these little games. He really wanted to win the first place to experience what the next game was, so he played seriously.
At the 20th second, Su Yu ate the first energy block at a critical point, and the sand soldier team lengthened to four.
He was flexibly roaming around the square, carefully judging the routes of other players, and seemed to be quite at ease.
The sand soldiers teams of other players have all eaten an energy block by now, and the team’s lengthening has made the already cramped field even more crowded, with the number of players gradually dropping from 81 to 67.
Just as the number of players dropped from 67 to 66.
“The game enters the second stage, increasing speed, adding more energy blocks.”
Hearing Bernina’s voice, Su Yu’s heart instantly raced.
“3, 2, 1, 0.”
The moment the countdown ends, the speed of the sand soldiers teams suddenly doubles!
Not only that, dense energy blocks appeared around him, Su Yu was caught off guard and ate three in a row, and his plan to eat one every 20 seconds was completely ruined.
Before he could lament the increase in his sand soldiers team to seven, Bernina’s voice came again.
“Entering stage three, Angry Birds.”
As soon as her words fell, the sound of catapult elastics sounded around the field.
“Wa~ hey-o~”
“Wa~ hey-o~”
About twenty to thirty red ball-shaped or yellow triangle-shaped birds smashing into the field diagonally. Sand soldiers teams hit by the birds are all eliminated.
Not only that.
The sound of “Wa~ hey-o~” came from outside the field again, the next batch of birds is about to arrive.
Now, Su Yu not only had to dodge other players all the time, but also had to dodge birds in the sky, making route planning extremely difficult.
What’s more terrifying is that the team’s length is getting longer and longer as he keeps eating energy blocks. The longer the team, the harder it is to avoid the incoming birds.
Having no choice, Su Yu could only dodge left and right in a panic, while praying that the tail of his team wouldn’t be hit by a bird.
But the good times didn’t last long.
After holding on for more than 20 seconds, Su Yu couldn’t see any other players on the field, his vision was completely blocked by small houses-like birds around him.
Because his body has already filled up, he now has to pass through the middle of a “Lü” shaped bird to the other side.
Just as he managed to get the front part of his team to the middle of the “Lü” letter, a fiery red bird flew diagonally over and hit right in front of Su Yu, effectively blocking the entrance.
“It’s over!” Su Yu felt a sudden sinking in his heart.
It seems like there’s truly no way out now.
The gap in the middle of the “Lü” is very small, Su Yu is unable to turn in the gap, and can only watch helplessly as his sand soldiers team slams into the bird.
But to Su Yu’s surprise, a miracle happened!
Just when the front end of the sand soldiers team was about to hit the bird, Su Yu received a system prompt:
“Ding, congratulations to player [Nemesis] for winning the first place in the second round of the Illusion Duel! You receive the reward [Jeffery’s Gift (Gold Rare)].”
“Phew——” Su Yu exhaled loudly.
Earlier, he had put all his mind and body into his sand soldiers team, had no spare time to observe other players, and did not expect that the other players had been eliminated!
This round of “snake” was indeed a bit exciting, a single wrong decision can get one eliminated, and it heavily tests one’s luck.
“Wait? Why do I feel like I’ve become the God of Luck?” Su Yu touched his own face, realizing that his luck seems to be particularly good today. Should he try his luck on a gold coating equipment later?
While Su Yu was still contemplating, the golden lamp appeared in front of him again.
The elemental, Jeffery, crawled out of the lamp.
This time he didn’t waste any words, he directly gave Su Yu four options.
Su Yu shifted his attention back to the reward options from the previous race.
Looking at the same [Equipment], [Potion], [Materials] and [Other Items] as before, he still chose [Equipment].
[Equipment] —— [Weapon] —— [Additional Skill Type], Su Yu unsurprisingly chose these in sequence.
The reward this time was an equipment that could materialize a gold color, and the equipment that provided the most upgrade for mages was of course the magic wand. He had no reason not to choose the magic wand.
“Wish fulfilled!”
“You get [Desert Emperor’s Sandstorm Scepter (Gold Rare)].”

Introduction: Shurima, your Emperor has returned!
…
A six-level rare wand with a good base, Su Yu nods in agreement.
And, without a doubt, Su Yu was going to use this wand for quite some time, at least not until seventh level, so he simply spent over 5 million spiritual energy coins to upgrade the wand to legendary quality.
A dazzling orange light exploded on the wand, under the action of the [Point Star Hand], the wand was upgraded in an instant.
The attributes after the upgrade are:
[Desert Emperor’s Sandstorm Scepter]

Su Yu happily replaced the old wand with the new one, exceptionally satisfied with the wand’s attributes!
