Chapter 1166: YUNYUE VS FENGHUANG (I)
AT exactly 1 PM, the top four teams were transported out of their headquarters. But unlike the first two rounds, they didn't appear in Lunaris Vale. Instead, they found themselves on a floating landmass. Around them was a pink sky and clusters of blue clouds. The most eye-catching feature, however, was the floating railway that spiraled around them, twisting through the sky in a mesmerizing display.
Team Yunyue immediately recognized the place—it was the Thousand World Fantasia Dungeon. They had suspected the semi-final round might resemble this dungeon, but they hadn't anticipated being transported directly into it.
Luo Yan quickly noticed that Eclipse, and the two dragons were not with them when they were teleported. Su Yuqi's guess from the previous day had been correct—pets were clearly not allowed in this round. Eclipse would definitely not like being excluded like this.
He scanned his surroundings and immediately noticed something unusual about the other three teams. Not all of their main members were present. Take Team Celestials, for example: out of the usual five, only Li Xu Min, Song Liuli, and the ever-annoying Uriel remained. The other two faces were unfamiliar to him. The same was true for Team Sanguis. Of the five members they faced during the preliminaries, only Alucard and Lilith remained, while the others were unfamiliar to Luo Yan. Team Fenghuang's lineup was no different; the only ones he recognized were the captain and vice-captain, while the rest were players he had never seen before.
Luo Yan wasn't too surprised. The other teams had likely considered the semi-final's 'RPG' theme and opted for members skilled in acting and strategy, rather than just pure combat. Unfortunately, his team didn't have that luxury. But that was fine. Their real advantage lay elsewhere—Team Yunyue had already cleared this dungeon before. That experience gave them an edge, one that could prove more valuable.
Soon, a train came to a halt in front of them. But unlike the train Luo Yan remembered, this one only had two carriages. A familiar black rabbit then stepped off. It appeared that the rabbit conductor would serve as their emcee for today, taking the place of Lena and Lila.
"Welcome, brave warriors, to the Thousand World Terminal!" the rabbit announced with a cheerful grin. "I am the Conductor of the Fantasia Train, and I will be your guide for today's match."
He paused briefly before continuing, "Two teams will board the train together and be transported to a random world. Once there, you must complete the tasks assigned to you. These will include both team tasks and individual ones, each worth points. You have a total of three hours to finish, but remember, time flows differently inside the Thousand World Fantasia. One hour here equals a full day there, giving you three days to complete the tasks. While many tasks will be given, keep in mind that only one is the main task. Once that task is completed, the match will end.
He quickly felt foolish for his reaction. How immature of him. He needed to focus on the match and make sure they won.
Once everyone was inside, the doors closed, and the train smoothly set off.
[Attention, passengers. This is your conductor speaking. We will now begin our journey. Please, sit down and enjoy the train ride.]
After they all sat down, the voice of the Conductor echoed inside the train.
Just like the first time they boarded the train, it suddenly surged forward, rapidly accelerating. The pink sky outside quickly blurred into white, giving the impression that they were traveling at the speed of light.
[Attention! Attention! We've arrived at our destination!]
A sudden burst of bright light flooded the train car. Anticipating this, they quickly shut their eyes.
Before they had a chance to open their eyes, the Conductor's voice echoed through the train car once more.
[Welcome to the Orient Express!]
