Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Desert Assessment
The barefoot eagle was still flying forward, and by this time, it was already dusk, and it was unknown how long it would take to reach its destination.
The number of candidates who were chasing after him has been reduced by almost half from the hundreds at the beginning.
And among the remaining people, there are already some people who are about to lose their hold.
"I can't fall, if I fall, it's all over!"
"I'm going to hold on, hold on a little longer!"
"I want to sleep, how far is my destination, why is my vision so blurry?"
"It's almost there, the destination must be almost there!"
With the willpower to survive, even the candidates who have reached the limit are still persevering.
Yifeng and the three of them have always insisted on the same starting line, following behind, although Chi Moya often lets them train their physical fitness, but there is still a gap compared to those geniuses, and it is still a place where the environment is particularly harsh, and the physical consumption is too great.
At this moment, I don't know if it's an illusion, these candidates suddenly felt that the speed of the examiner in front of them seemed to slow down.
Could it be that the destination is really coming?
"Hey, Moran, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Mo Ran, whose expression suddenly became very solemn, Eiffel asked curiously.
"Looks like there's going to be a big storm later, we're really unlucky!" Mo Ran's eyes were staring ahead, his expression solemn.
Eiffel looked at Mo Ran with a puzzled expression, and when he asked what this meant, Mo Ran didn't say anything more, but stopped.
Soon night began to fall.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and it is still very hot during the day, but at night, it is bitterly cold.
Fierce winds, which rolled up a lot of sand, made visibility very poor.
"Why, why hasn't we reached our destination yet? I've had enough! β
"Oh my God, I'm dying, I'm going to die here!"
"Who's going to save me, I want to go back!"
More and more people are retreating in their hearts, and they are beginning to regret that they didn't give up in the first place.
The wind in the desert is getting stronger and stronger.
The "Barefoot Flying Eagle" leading the way in front of him suddenly stopped, and what made him feel strange was that the examiner actually jumped down.
"Has it arrived, has it finally arrived?"
Everyone laughed, but their smiles soon disappeared and were replaced by boundless horror!
"It's a sandstorm, oh my God, what to do!"
Someone finally discovered why the examiner had stopped, and just in front of him, a huge whirlpool was rushing towards here at an alarming speed.
"Everyone get together, hurry, it's too late!"
People who are a little more sensible have finally come up with a feasible solution.
How small is the power of man, this is confirmed in the presence of nature!
The low point of strength was swept up into the sky by the strong wind.
The sand in the wind is a sharp knife, blowing on the body is extraordinarily painful!
"It's really bad weather, and it's estimated that more than half of the candidates will be eliminated!" The examiner leaned against Flying Eagle's body, his feet sinking deep into the sand, which had reached his waist.
This is not the first time he has encountered such bad weather, and he knows what to do to avoid it.
The fiercest gust of wind from the sandstorm finally swept over, and the sound of the wind like a ghost crying wolf filled the eardrums!
The sand beneath your feet is disappearing at an alarming rate.
"Hold on a little longer, just a while, and this sandstorm will pass!"
Yifeng and the three of them can be said to be unable to move an inch, they can't open their eyes and can't distinguish the direction of the huge wind and waves, the three of them can only walk forward by feeling, just when these candidates are about to rush over from other directions, a "boom" sound sounds, and a large piece of sand under their feet is like water spewed out by a whale, which is raised.
Then, to everyone's horror, hundreds of "thorny scorpions" came out of the sand in all directions.
"Ah, save meβsave meβ"
An unlucky fellow, who was not standing in a good position, happened to be caught by a giant scorpion that came out, and even in the blink of an eye, his body was cut in half.
The blood stimulated these giant scorpions to rush towards everyone frantically, and in an instant, the entire sandy area became a slaughterhouse.
Looking at the demonic beast that appeared in front of him, Eiffel almost reflexively struck, he jumped high, had already jumped on the god of a scorpion, and took out a long sword.
The powerful spiritual power was blessed on the long knife, which instantly made the entire knife emit a strange blood-red light.
Eiffel dodged the stabbing tail, and the long sword in his hand changed direction and stabbed at the head.
"Poof~"
The originally sharp long sword, but it only pierced a little bit, and the shell of this scorpion was too hard.
Eiffel's face was a little ugly, how to say that she was also a genius known as the Blood Phoenix, and she didn't kill this guy in seconds, which was really insulting to her identity.
With a cold snort, the powerful blood-red spiritual power suddenly enveloped Eiffel's whole body, and she suddenly held the long sword that pierced into the scorpion's shell, and the spiritual power directly drilled into the stinging scorpion's mind under the effect of the conductor.
"Boom~"
With a loud bang, a pile of disgusting liquid erupted from the giant scorpion's head, and almost instantly, the stinging scorpion collapsed to the ground.
And Mo Ran is here.
The bodies of the two giant scorpions were split in half, and the viscous liquid flowed to the ground.
At this time, Mo Ran was holding a huge and somewhat frightening giant knife in his hand, and was standing in front of a stinging scorpion that was no longer capable of moving.
Looking at the two stinging scorpions that had been cut in two, Eiffel secretly stuck out his tongue, he could imagine that the two scorpions must have been cut in half with a single knife, and they might not even feel it when they died.
"It's terrible, but it's good that he's not my enemy!"
With a sigh of relief, Eiffel put away the long sword in his hand, and in front of Mo Ran's giant knife, he felt a little shameless.
At this time, the three of Yifeng also appeared in front of this huge scorpion.
In the face of this terrifying creature that suddenly emerged from the ground, Yifeng and the three of them were startled, and their subconscious bodies leaned back slightly, but it was too late, only to see the thorny scorpion twisting its huge body, and a sharp claw swept over, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the eyes of the three people, the three of them seemed to be dumbfounded, an invisible sense of fear was condensing, and they looked blankly at the upcoming fatal blow, but at this moment, a rough voice sounded in the ears of the three people: "Wow, what a lovely beauty, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman here. β
I don't know when a tall young man on the side of the three of them suddenly appeared, looked at Yeyue in a daze, and exclaimed, to his amazement, Yeyue and the three of them were even more amazed, just the moment he appeared, the thorny scorpion on the opposite side had been cut in half, and the wind didn't seem to have any effect on him, as if he was shopping on the street.
Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared, he held his head high and was well-dressed, but he couldn't hide his explosive muscles, like a tiger's resolute face with a touch of arrogance, a pair of huge eyes, the eyes were not sharp, but they gave people a sense of security, and his appearance looked very similar to Rogge, but Rogge belonged to the kind of simplicity with the fury of not admitting defeat, while the young man in front of him was that arrogant with a sense of reliability.
Yeyue's expression was uncertain, she kept panting, her brain was blank, and it seemed that her will could no longer hold on. Yeyue said weakly: "Yifeng, I, I can't seem to hold on, I'm sorry ............"
"It's okay, I'll run with you on my back." Yifeng said firmly.
"Don't be stupid, you're going to slow down a lot with me, we're already behind, if you add me, it's very likely that I'll all be eliminated, if you are eliminated, you won't be able to participate in the Endless Tournament, you won't be able to ......." Night Moon said with a wandering look in her eyes.
Yifeng lowered his head with a gloomy face, and muttered: "Yeyue, listen, I won't abandon you, you must know that leaving you here alone will be life-threatening, and I can't do it if I abandon you and complete the test." β
"Yes, you know, there is such a thing as testing, there are such things every four years, but you only have one Night Moon, if I had to choose between the Endless Contest and you, I would ****** the Endless Tournament." Rogge's eyes widened and he said angrily.
"You, you ....." Yeyue covered her mouth, moved to tears.
At this time, the young man on the side suddenly applauded, and Yifeng and Luo Ge looked at the young man who had just killed them with a surprised expression, only to see that he seemed to be unabashedly powerful, and kept showing off his powerful muscles, "That's really good, don't worry, you have passed this test." β
"What !!" Yifeng and Rogge shouted incredulously.
"I said you shouldn't be led by the nose by that examiner, haven't you noticed?"
"Found what?"
Looking at the three people with a confused face, the man sighed helplessly and explained: "I'm afraid you didn't notice it at the beginning, this is not the Lop Nur Desert. β
"Not the Lop Nur Desert? So where is this?" asked Rogge, looking around in confusion.
"This is just a fantasy, all of them here are fake, they will use the illusion of death to make you afraid, and the dilemma is all a trick made by the examiners, and those who die here will be out early, and those so-called rules are a cover, they want to test how we make choices in a difficult situation, many people abandon their partners in order to complete this test, you must know that helping your partner will consume more physical strength, It is very likely that it will not be completed within the allotted time, but if you abandon your companions, there will be only one result, and that is to die here, which is an extremely difficult choice. β
"But....." Rogge was interrupted before he could say anything.
"If you look closely at some of the contestants, you will find that they are inspectors hidden in the shadows, and they are there to judge whether you are qualified or eliminated, in fact, the focus of this test is the rules mentioned at the beginning, so that many people will be eliminated because they are afraid of being eliminated by their peers, and feel inexplicable pressure, under the influence of often long-term physical exertion and extremely bad weather, people's will will be polished a little bit, and this is the time to reflect teamwork, at this time to be able to advance and retreat together, And the ability to break through difficult situations, which is the qualification required to be a qualified fighter, like the kind of person who abandons his teammates, ignores the lives of his teammates and is bent on passing the test, is not qualified to continue at all. β
"In addition, I felt that something was wrong here at the beginning, the examiner said that this was a huge teleportation array, but I knew that even Tianfu would not have a teleportation array that could teleport hundreds of people at a time, so the only explanation was that when all of us entered the 11th floor, someone instantly cast a huge illusion on us, and at the beginning I was just guessing, but it wasn't until the examiner said the rules that I was sure, you know, without abandoning your teammates, We can't finish it within the specified time anyway, but it's different if it's in the illusion, you must know that the time in the illusion is five times that of the outside world, and at the beginning the examiner was outside and told us that the prescribed time was midnight and noon, I think the time he said was the time of the outside world, and we were five times the time in the illusionary realm was five times that of the outside world, which means that we have enough time to reach the end, to put it bluntly, they are testing our physical strength and making the right choice in the predicament, this is the case. β
After listening to that person's analysis, Yifeng and the others suddenly realized, they all looked sluggish, opened their mouths wide, and it took a long time for Yifeng to speak: "Too, it's too powerful, you, who are you?" β
"I'll tell you for the sake of that beautiful woman, and as for my name, you can call me Crazy Tiger." With that, the man grinned and left.
"Tiger? The Wild Tiger of Rango King's City? It wasn't until the man walked away that Rog reacted and screamed with excitement.
