I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

The conversation between the three came to an end.

Chen Yang stood up and left the World Tavern.

The World Tavern's teleportation mechanism is such that players will reappear in the same place they entered from.

The lawn was still the same familiar scene, with his plants neatly arranged, quietly guarding the garden.

But as soon as he landed, Chen Yang immediately did a forward roll and hid behind the Lava Nut.

Chen Yang did a forward roll and hid behind the Lava Nut, but the surroundings fell into dead silence.

No attack landed, and no sound was heard.

On the lawn, the plants still stand quietly.

The moon hung high, casting its silvery glow; the night was eerily quiet.

He was on edge, and gestured to Yumi to check on the situation.

The main street outside the garden gate was deserted, with only a few hours left before the usual zombie onslaught began.

Zhao Changming's words still echoed in my ears: Isaac can slaughter players in other areas, and his methods should not be underestimated.

Having learned his lesson from the pea sniper, Chen Yang is now much more vigilant.

Yumi's figure flew lightly out of the garden.

However, the street outside the garden was deserted.

Chen Yang continued to signal Youmi to explore into the woods.

However, at that very moment, a blazing blue light flashed in the darkness, its target the Lava Nut.

Something is gathering power in the forest!

Blue light was reflected in Chen Yang's eyes.

Blue laser?

Ice Cannon!

As expected, Isaac was lying in ambush here!

During the day, with the help of Isaac's various talents, it shattered Mordekaiser's iron armor!

Even without the talent bonus, the Ice Cannon is still a top-tier plant among fourth-tier plants.

This shot will either kill the Lava Nut or leave it half-dead!

Without thinking twice, Chen Yang quickly pulled out an energy bean.

A dazzling green light enveloped the lava nut, causing its body to immediately swell and radiate a scorching glow.

The lava nut has become larger, its granite armor is harder, and its defense has been greatly enhanced.

With another thought, all the other plants in the garden were transformed into cards.

The blue laser shot out in the next moment!

"boom!"

The blue beam of light continued to bombard the lava nut, and the powerful energy raged for a full four seconds.

The granite armor on the surface of the nut gradually cracked, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

The immense impact stripped away its outer layers, sending rock fragments flying and landing on the lawn.

As the light gradually faded, one side of the lava nut completely cracked, but its broken body still stubbornly stood upright.

It shielded Chen Yang from this fatal attack.

"Yumi!" Chen Yang shouted.

Without a word, Yumi had already dashed into the forest.

Isaac was standing beside the ice cannon.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless tail spikes shot out simultaneously, like a sudden rain, piercing Isaac's body with unparalleled precision.

One of his tail spikes even pierced his neck, but in that instant, Isaac's figure was suddenly enveloped in a cloud of gray smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the original Isaac was gone, leaving only a grayish-white eggplant lying lifelessly on the ground.

Hearing Yuumi's meow, and confirming that it was safe, Chen Yang slowly walked out from behind the Lava Nut.

His gaze fell on the grayish-white eggplant, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Imitators!

Did Isaac himself not come?

The next second, the imitators on the ground and the ice cannon in the distance suddenly vanished as if they had never existed.

Chen Yang frowned, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.

He immediately sent a warning to the rest of the squad, telling them to be careful of Isaac's attack.

He also informed Zhao Changming that he had been attacked by Isaac.

Even so, a sense of unease still lingered in Chen Yang's heart.

What exactly is Isaac planning?

......

......

The third round of the Ascension Tournament takes place on the twenty-fifth day of a player's survival.

Two days later, standing on the arena, Chen Yang finally understood what Isaac had done.

As the human faction, they filled the garden with plants.

Even though the opponent was relatively weak, Chen Yang's team was still well prepared.

Countless plants stood ready.

However, with one minute left in the match, the zombie players still hadn't appeared.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"What's wrong? Are you scared of the fight?"

"I guess they felt they had no hope of winning, so they stopped showing themselves."

"That's possible, after all, Mordekaiser played that day, and he was almost unstoppable."

"This is boring, this is boring..."

The players who have survived are now generally able to handle the daily zombie attacks.

After so much time, everyone has accepted reality and learned to find joy in hardship.

The Ascension Tournament these past few days has become a topic of conversation among ordinary players during their leisure time.

After all, this is one of the few sources of spiritual life they have.

The sudden withdrawal from the match was quite disappointing for all the players.

Sure enough, the electronic voice announcing the winner rang throughout the stadium the very next second the match began.

[No zombie players participated; the human team won.]

A chorus of boos erupted from the audience, and the crowd gradually left.

Chen Yang and the others in the arena were also completely baffled.

Logically speaking, even if the odds of winning are slim, there's no loss in playing a match.

But the opposing team simply didn't play.

The following matches left everyone even more baffled.

Neither team sent anyone!

The audience was all cursing and swearing.

Chen Yang sensed something was wrong.

He opened the power rankings and confirmed that the names of the participating players were still properly listed on the power rankings.

This means that they are not dead.

In the next match, Belial's team will represent the human faction.

But to everyone's surprise, no one participated in this match!

This means that Belial has given up a victory that was within his grasp!

"what happened?"

"You all agreed to forfeit the match, right?! RMM, refund our money! No, refund our sunshine!"

"Is the next match the last one? Zhao Changming won't be leaving too... that would be so boring?"

"Chen Yang paid up, didn't he? They're all rigging the match!"

Nobody knows what's going on right now.

Huang Aotian was already dreaming: "Great! If the next group also forfeits, wouldn't we win directly?"

"Don't get your hopes up too high, I have a feeling this isn't as simple as it seems..."

Huangfu Qinghe rested his chin on his hand, also sensing that something was amiss.

"Look, Zhao Changming and the others are coming out!"

Inside the arena, a man dressed in white led his teammates out.

However, the zombie horde opposite them remained silent.

"What's going on? If their names weren't still on the power rankings, I would have thought they were all dead."

"Did they discuss this beforehand, and all thought they couldn't fight against the top two plants on the power ranking?"

"It's possible, after all, only Chen Yang's Mordekaiser and Zhao Changming's Street Lamp Flower have surpassed the fourth tier, giving them a significant lead."

A chorus of disappointed voices erupted from the audience.

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

Among Zhao Changming's opponents in this match was an acquaintance of his, Sun Yue.

He and Sun Yue became friends, but when he sent Sun Yue a message to inquire, he received no response.

When the match began, no team from the zombie side had yet entered the game.

Zhao Changming's team won without a fight.

An electronic female voice resounded throughout the venue.

[Humanity wins]

[Given that only two teams have advanced, the finals will be held earlier.]

[Two days later, on the 27th day of survival]
