Congratulations! You've won a crown! Keep up the good work and strive for final victory!
[Crown: 3]
With two more crowns added, this is a huge profit!
The five siren heads seemed to wake up and began to struggle to get up from the ground, but then they noticed Dou Tang beside them, and all ten siren horns of the five siren heads went off at once.
"Ooh—squeak—"
Just two seconds after they started speaking, the siren leaders suddenly choked up and couldn't make a sound.
"Ahem, just a reminder to these five contestants." Dou Tang coughed twice, his tone arrogant: "This is Fall Guys World. No shouting or yelling here. At most, you can say 'Whoosh whoosh,' otherwise it will be treated as a foul, understand?"
Siren Head, who was half-lying on the ground, swung his hand, seemingly intending to slap Dou Tang away.
"Buzz—"
An astonishing scene unfolded: Siren Head's brass-colored arm struck Dou Tang as if it had hit a mountain, something beyond the reach of physics, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal. Siren Head then clutched his arm in pain, which was still vibrating like steel, making a buzzing sound.
That must hurt so much... The other four Siren heads, whose intelligence was unknown, actually shrank back when they saw this, trying to get as far away from the Siren head as possible.
Dou Tang shook his head helplessly: "Sorry, I'm in referee mode right now, so no matter how strong you are, you can't hit me. I don't know if you guys are even smart enough to understand this..."
“But according to the usual routine…” Fall Guy narrowed his vertical eyes and arrogantly stretched his face forward: “At this point, I should be very arrogant and bring my face close for you to keep hitting, don’t you think?”
The siren head, lying on the ground, was stunned.
With their low intelligence, they were completely unable to discern the situation before them. In their eyes, they were nothing more than being pushed to the ground by a group of round, chubby fellows, then getting a good beating that almost killed them, and when they regained consciousness, they found themselves here.
What exactly is going on now?
Seeing this, Dou Tang shook his head.
"Sigh... never mind, let's start the competition right away."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the entire track began to twist and deform. The bodies of the siren leaders were gripped and lifted by an invisible force, forcing them to stand at attention.
At the same time, Dou Tang and Siren Head suddenly rose dozens of meters high, and new jelly bean characters popped out of the milkshake ocean and came into the air, all of them very excited and eager to get started.
"Oh...you guys are lucky to have drawn this picture. It's very advantageous for you."
Dou Tang slowly retreated; he was not participating in the competition, but merely an observer.
Inflatable pillars and an arena slowly emerged. This huge hexagonal arena framed all the Fall Guys and Siren Heads. Then, more hexagonal honeycomb-shaped floor tiles appeared from nothingness, emitting a slightly sweet and warm aroma, like cookies.
The sweet honeycomb-shaped flooring connects to form an even larger hexagon, creating eight layers, each with a different main color scheme.
Welcome to—!
Dou Tang opened his arms wide, looking at the Fall Guys and Siren Heads standing on his own independent section atop the eighth floor, his voice loud and excited.
"A honeycomb puzzle—!"
"A map of paradise belonging to the Zhazong!"
Chapter 3: Fall Guys of the World, Unite!
Honeycomb pattern.
Among the various maps in Fall Guys, this one definitely ranks in the top three of the most fun maps.
All players stand on individual floor panels, spaced a certain distance apart. When the game begins, the floor panels beneath everyone's feet disappear, causing them to fall onto a lower playing area composed of interconnected hexagonal floor panels.
All the floor tiles will disappear one second after a contestant steps on them. Contestants can only escape falling into the abyss by constantly moving. There are a total of eight floor tiles. When all eight floor tiles are used up, the last person left will be the winner.
So, in order to achieve this one and only victory, countless gatekeepers began to resort to all sorts of extreme measures, such as landing on the next level in advance and then stepping on all the tiles near other people...
After all, if I step on it enough, no one else will have anything to step on.
But this time, the contestant is Siren Head, with long arms and legs.
The candy-bean people stood on their own platforms, looking at the siren heads that were several times their own height, and kept exclaiming "Whoosh, whoosh!" in admiration.
To Dou Tang, what he heard was probably something like, "Wow, that's high!", "Wow, that looks amazing!", "Let's form an alliance later and kill these gatekeepers first!", "Come on, let's place our bets, I'm betting on myself..."
Wait a minute, why are you guys acting so strangely too?
Dou Tang tried to find the few Boss Zha who said strange things in Fall Guys, but found that every Fall Guy looked innocent and kind, as if what they just said was... a very normal statement.
You've all gone astray!
These jelly bean figures are the purest form of those vengeful spirits after they shed their resentment and memories, completely different from the jelly bean figures in the outside world that are made of resentment. They shouldn't have any negative consciousness, but now it seems... perhaps some of them still retain some of their behavior as humans.
For example, what about the gatekeeper?
Looking at the eager Fall Guys, Dou Tang waved his hand helplessly: "Game rules! Very simple—the last player remaining on the field wins!"
"Each board disappears the moment a player steps on it. Carefully plan every step, devise all possibilities in the fast-paced competition, and become the only true winner!"
He suddenly waved his hand: "The game begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue jelly bean leaped up angrily, seemingly filled with boundless rage, and jumped towards the jelly bean people opposite him in the preparatory stage!
Sometimes, paranormal enthusiasts ponder this question: If you were killed by a ghost and became a ghost yourself, how awkward would it be to face the ghost?
Now, the same question exists, existing between... the Blue Oni and Fall Guys.
Pulled along by the Fall Guys, the Blue Oni lost his chance to win and then became a new Fall Guy, shedding his resentment and memories.
But his personality doesn't seem to have changed; he's still somewhat fierce and reckless. Now, you might call him straightforward. In any case, he's one of the most proactive types in Fall Guys.
Now, whether out of dissatisfaction with himself becoming a Fall Guy while Siren Head hasn't, or for some other reason, the Fall Guy that the Blue Oni has become has launched a very fierce attack.
The floor beneath everyone's feet vanished, and the blue demon missed its target, falling downwards.
As they fell, all the Fall Beans fell, while the Siren Heads danced wildly in the air, completely bewildered.
Meanwhile, the Blue Demon Fall Bean Man in mid-air seized the opportunity and grabbed Siren Head's leg!
The siren head, which had been grabbed, lost its balance and fell to the first floor as hard as a piece of wood. Its body was so long that it covered seven or eight floorboards.
Before it could react, the floor beneath it suddenly vanished, and the two of them fell downwards again.
"Wuhu! Wuhu!"
The Blue Demon Fall Guy, clinging to Siren Head's leg, gave a thumbs-up to the air in a tragic scene, much like the T-800 sinking into the molten iron pool with a death wish.
But you're just a jelly bean doing gatekeeping! Dou Tang cursed inwardly.
The Blue Demon Fall Bean Man and Siren Head fell at an extremely fast speed, quickly smashing through the eight-story arena and plunging into the milkshake ocean at top speed.
Blue Oni Fall Guy, with one thumb pointing upwards, pressed down on Siren Head's head to prevent it from getting up, his resolute gaze slowly sinking...
If I don't get better, neither do you!
[True Evil Spirits (Purified): 2]
Well, the first kill was given away by the siren-wielding enemy right at the start...
Because of the entanglement between Siren Head and the Blue Ghost Fall Guy, the very center of all eight levels of the arena became empty, with a strange Chu-Han boundary line stretching across the arena.
Dou Tang was speechless with astonishment.
Because of this gap, both sides were somewhat inclined to hold their ground. The remaining four Siren Heads quickly figured out a trick: their long limbs allowed them to easily step over one square to reach other squares, allowing them to reach places that the Fall Guys couldn't. The situation seemed somewhat unfavorable for the Fall Guys.
The first floor was completely destroyed by trampling, and more than half of the second floor was also destroyed. At this point, several Fall Guys began to move towards Siren Head.
The Siren Heads raised their hands to block the jelly bean men, only to find that the jelly bean men could grab their outstretched hands and they couldn't shake them off no matter how hard they tried.
push lightly!
This setting gives the Fall Guys the ability to fight back; they all rush towards Siren Head, seemingly trying to throw them into disarray by interfering with Siren Head.
Similarly, Fall Guys with fewer competitors stay on the next level longer.
Dou Tang hovered in the air and nodded.
These Fall Guys actually know how to cooperate... Strange, shouldn't they only have simple hedonistic thinking? Why are they like this?
Siren Head and the Fall Beans had already fallen to the third level. At this point, Dou Tang discovered something else: the Fall Beans were not only cooperating, but they even had a division of labor.
After the two Fall Guys landed, the first thing they did was rush to Siren Head's territory and knock down all the floorboards on both sides of the boundary, so that even if Siren Head had long arms and legs, he couldn't jump over, as the gap in the middle was huge.
Meanwhile, other Fall Guys were also moving, jumping down from the third level, then quickly stepping off the floor near the Siren Head on the fourth level before landing on the next level to continue the same action.
The remaining Fall Guys stay on the third level, hopping across the floor instead of running, so they can stay on that level for as long as possible.
The Fall Guys had clear roles and worked without complaint: to hold off the enemy, to attack the next level, and to hold the line at the last moment. Those Fall Guys who went down early to stomp the floor and hold off Siren Head were bound to lose, but they still went without hesitation.
Why……
Dou Tang was still a little confused, but he realized that these Fall Guys were essentially helping him.
Chapter 4 Taking off from Wuhu, I am the dragon!
Help yourself...
Dou Tang rarely receives help from others, and he is not used to this feeling. Even though Lu Zizhen is often by his side now, he usually has to do the work himself.
And now, a group of jellybean people are helping him drag those real evil spirits into the abyss and win him victory, which feels surprisingly good.
The competition has entered a heated phase.
The Siren Head and the Fall Guys, who had been entangled on the third floor for too long, finally landed, only to suddenly realize that there was no floor beneath them at all—the Fall Guys had already knocked over the fourth and fifth floors! They were now running along the sixth floor with their arms outstretched!
The sixth floor floor also disappeared as the Fall Guys ran!
The panicked Siren leaders saw the invisible smiles on the faces of the Fall Guys across from them, which were extremely... infuriating!
One of them even waved!
Despite their low intelligence, the Siren Heads couldn't help but curse under their breath, a surge of anger and resentment welling up within them.
One of the siren heads adjusted its posture in mid-air, seemingly trying to grab the floor of the fourth floor, and it did succeed. After the floor in its hand disappeared, it used the momentum to land on the fifth floor.
His companions, along with the jelly bean figures hanging on their bodies, fell to the sixth floor, bumping into the jelly bean figures that were running around, and tumbled together in a sorry state.
"Wuhu, Wuhu, Wuhu!"
The jelly-like creatures yelled and screamed, slammed down the three siren heads, and then fell together, smashing the layers below them into the milkshake ocean.
As they landed in the ocean, the jelly bean men were still shouting and cheering, as if this was their victory, and one of them even waved to Dou Tang.
Dou Tang waved back, watching the Fall Guys completely disappear and return to the lower level.
Go to Fall Guys Land.
They're really easy to deal with... but it's also a good thing these siren heads aren't very smart.
[True Evil Spirits (Purified): 5]
Siren Head, who had fallen to the fifth floor, was visibly bewildered as he watched his companion fall into the sea of milkshakes. In his bewilderment, he fell to the sixth floor, whereupon he remembered what he should do and began to slowly tread the floor.
But the outcome of this match was already decided: the Fall Guys' unity was overwhelming against such mindless evil.
A few minutes later, Siren Head was finally tackled to the ground by the Fall Beans falling from above. As he was pinned to the ground by this bunch of Fall Beans, Siren Head suddenly remembered a scene from another world not long ago.
On a rainy night, I was tackled to the ground by these Fall Guys and couldn't move. It seemed that even if I escaped to this world, my fate would still remain unchanged.
With that thought in mind, it gave up struggling and let itself and the Fall Guy fall into the milkshake.
In the end, only one lone jelly bean was left jumping around in the arena, looking at the mess that Siren Head and his companions had made, and making a "whoosh whoosh" sound.
After seeing that there were no players on the field, he dove down and plopped into the milkshake.
competition is over.
Dou Tang stared at the churning ocean of milkshakes without changing his expression.
Beneath the ocean.
The siren heads struggled, but were slowed down by the milkshake.
Finally, it stopped moving, and from its brassy metallic body, some black particles slowly separated out, gradually turning the milkshake a bright pink.
The pink particles coalesced and eventually transformed into new jelly beans, which, along with the other jelly beans, fell into the sea of milkshakes.
