Chapter 406: The First Round of Elimination Tournament Ends
A violent repulsive force exploded from the right rear, scattering the players who were trying to stabilize the right flank.
A destructive stellar storm enveloped the core, indiscriminately scorching the interior of the formation;
The deadly stellar rays, like venomous snakes, precisely "remove" healing and command nodes.
"Hold on! Don't panic!"
"Heal! Add someone to the front row!"
"He's over there! Focus fire!"
"President! The left wing has collapsed!"
"The right wing has been broken up!"
"Heavy casualties in the core area!"
Long Zaitian, atop the griffin, commanded with a mixture of shock and rage, but the formation quickly collapsed under the onslaught of multiple, overwhelming attacks.
The pull of gravity and repulsion disrupted the overall structure, the star storm caused continuous massive damage and slowing, and the precise ray kills key professions.
Despite having the strength and coordination of 1,500 men, they couldn't even touch the hem of Lin Tian's clothes. They could only passively take the beating, like a clumsy giant being bled and dismembered by agile assassins using various methods.
Less than two minutes.
The once majestic [Dragon Soars Across the Seas] steel formation has been shattered into pieces, turning into small fragments struggling in despair before being overwhelmed by subsequent skills.
The dragon atop the griffin was pierced by a specially targeted, thick [Star Ray], which carried him and his mount away, turning into light with endless resentment.
The conference of 1,500 people collapsed.
Countdown 04:15.
Similar scenes are playing out at different entrances, on different scales.
Dozens or even hundreds of scattered soldiers were slaughtered as soon as they entered.
A medium-sized team of three or four hundred people was directly sent away by the [Starry Sky Storm] that fell from the sky or the precise [Universal Celestial Pull] that caused the area to collapse.
There were also large teams like [Dragon Soars Across the Seas], with over a thousand members, that attempted to form a battle formation, but they quickly collapsed under Lin Tian's multi-skill, multi-angle, and long-range saturation attacks.
Despair spread beyond the central area.
The regional chat channels were no longer filled with battle information, but rather with desperate cries and expressions of despair:
[Regional Channel (Qian Xiaowu)]: "Can't get in! Absolutely can't get in! I just peek out and I die! That thing inside isn't human!"
[Regional Channel (Anonymous)]: "The poison circle outside is dealing more and more damage! I can't hold on any longer!"
[Regional Channel (Sun Desheng)]: "Brothers, let's fight Lin Tian! We're all going to die anyway, charge!" (Three seconds after this message is sent, the player's avatar goes gray)
[Regional Channel (Li Cuihua)]: "Waaah... I don't want to die... My equipment..."
[Regional Channel (Zhou Bapi)]: "Does anyone have a high-level teleportation scroll? Sell it to me! I'll buy it at a high price!!"
[Regional Channel (Anonymous)]: "It's no use. There's spatial interference above the central area; we can't teleport in... This is a dead end..."
Everyone knows that Lin Tian is in the central area, like an ultimate gatekeeper BOSS, waiting to reap all those who enter.
But what's the use of knowing? Staying outside the circle will only result in being burned to death by the ever-increasing true damage.
Upon entering, they were instantly killed by Lin Tian in various ways.
"Being in the same competition zone as Lin Tian is their misfortune."
This sentence resonated deeply with all the surviving players.
This is not a competition; it's a one-sided elimination.
Countdown 01:30.
The number of players outside the central area has decreased sharply.
Most of them either died on the way in or from the poison wounds outside the circle.
Only a few of the most cunning, best at hiding, or luckiest individuals remain on the very edge, struggling to survive with the help of complex terrain and advanced concealment items, their health slowly and steadily decreasing under the erosion of the poison circle.
They were all waiting, waiting for that final moment—the moment the system would make its decision on the shrinking circle!
They didn't believe Lin Tian could kill everyone in the last second!
Countdown 00:10.
[System notification: The final shrinking of the safe zone is about to begin!]
[System prompt: Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
At that moment, all the players who were still struggling to survive outside the central area heard the starting gun!
"Charge!!!"
"Last chance!"
"Go in and you'll live!"
Hidden figures emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, unleashing their last potential, using every speed-up skill, movement skill, and even secret techniques that burned their life points, desperately sprinting towards the final safe zone on the map!
Among them were lone wolves, small groups of three or five, and remnants of groups of dozens.
At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds:
Charge in! Charge into that small circle before the event ends!
As long as you go in, even if you are killed by Lin Tian in the next second, as long as the system determines that you are in the safe zone, you may survive!
Lin Tian stood atop the broken pillar, calmly watching the last few hundred players surge in from all directions like a tide.
Their faces were etched with extreme fear, madness, and desperation.
He slowly raised his hand.
【Starstorm】Prepare.
【All Things Guided】Prepare.
【Shinra Tensei】Prepare.
He was going to carry out the final, most intensive clearing operation.
However, just as he was about to unleash his skill, the ferocious faces of the dozens of players at the forefront were clearly visible, and some even fired futile arrows and spells at him—
[Buzz—! ...
A long and resounding system notification echoed throughout the entire competition area, drowning out all the noise.
[System notification: The survival elimination round for Region 58 has ended!]
[System notification: Congratulations to the following 1000 players who have successfully survived and advanced to the next round!]
[System notification: Rankings and rewards are being calculated...]
[System notification: In 10 seconds, all survivors will be teleported back to the starting area.]
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The light from the skill Lin Tian was about to unleash slowly dissipated.
The madness and fear on the faces of those frantically rushing forward instantly froze, then transformed into unparalleled astonishment, bewilderment, and... the unbelievable ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe!
They stopped at various locations, ranging from tens to hundreds of meters away from the broken pillar where Lin Tian was.
Some people have already stepped into the final small circle with a radius of only five meters, while others are still far from it.
But in any case, the system's decision has taken effect—they are the last 1000 survivors!
"Is it... over?"
A young soldier named Wang Ergou looked at his unharmed body and the other players standing around him in a daze, and murmured to himself.
"We...we survived? We didn't die?"
The pastor Liu Xiaofang next to him covered her mouth, and tears welled up instantly.
