Chapter 144: The First Level of Hardship
Except for Jun Wunian, the rest of the mercenary team all have cultivation above the fifty-fifth order, so although it may be difficult for them to get through this pressure array safely, it is not too difficult, and the most difficult thing is the five teenagers and girls who are generally only about 15 years old in the middle.
Zhan Hongyue was behind them, carefully observing, ready to pull them out of the pressure array at any moment.
"Captain, it's okay. Feeling the vigilance of the battle red moon behind him, Jun Wunian smiled lazily, his eyes froze, and he took the lead in stepping into the pressure array after the other five mercenaries.
Although Jun Wunian's identity at the moment was just a small mercenary, Jun Wunian knew in his heart that he was the captain of Lan Sheng, and as the captain, he should be the first to face unknown dangers.
This has nothing to do with cultivation, it is a responsibility.
As soon as he stepped into the formation, Jun Wunian felt a suffocating aura, and the ubiquitous sense of oppression came to Jun Wunian from all directions. Jun Wunian only felt that his legs were trembling, and he couldn't help but lower his body, but Jun Wunian held back, he controlled his body and didn't bend his spine.
Jun Wunian took a deep breath and took the first step with difficulty—the second step—the third step—
Behind them, Lan Sheng and the others were a little flustered, they silently watched Jun Wunian's movements, and felt the difficulty and pain of Jun Wunian's every step, Meng Qin'er wanted to say something several times but closed her mouth in time, Chen Yixiao resisted his urge to pull Jun Wunian back, and clenched his fists.
Lan Sheng looked at Jun Wunian's stubborn back lightly, there was no expression on her face, and her whole body revealed a quiet temperament. She also took the first step, raised her feet and walked into the barrier, and quickly walked forward a few steps behind Jun Wunian, as if she was protecting Jun Wunian.
Seeing this, Meng Qin'er and Chen Yixiao glanced at each other, and hurriedly entered the pressure array, keeping up with Jun Wunian and Lan Sheng's footsteps.
Song Shilin and Zhan Hongyue glanced at each other, and under the protection of Zhan Hongyue, Song Shilin also entered the pressure array.
100 meters –
The walking speed of everyone seemed to have slowed down, and Song Shilin's face showed an extremely uncomfortable expression. But as the eldest lady of the Song family, the head of the Song family had already prepared when he gave her the information of the psychedelic desert. She slowly took out a bracelet from her pocket, put it on her wrist, and entered the power of the elements, the bracelet emitted a soft but intense light, and suddenly drilled into Song Shilin's body, and a layer of faint brown armor appeared on Song Shilin's body surface, and her face became much more relaxed.
At this time, Jun Wunian carried the earth element on every inch of his body to resist the pressure around him, and he carried the wind element under his feet to reduce the weight of his legs. Jun Wunian worked hard to support him like this, although he was the lowest cultivator among the people, he had many departments, and the power of the elements could also be used in turns, which was much better than others.
Lan Sheng didn't have much pressure, the water shield was good at defense, and the Xuanwu bloodline also reduced the pressure on Lan Sheng, so far, she didn't seem to feel anything, her face was as usual, but she didn't walk fast, it seemed that she was taking care of other people's speed.
Meng Qin'er and Chen Yixiao were in a similar situation, their faces were a little pale, they were biting their lips, and the beads of sweat on their foreheads were dripping down one by one, but they didn't make a sound. This escort mission is not only related to personal assessment, when you go out, it represents the college, and it is related to the face of the college, Chen Yixiao and Meng Qin'er dare not fall, and they must not fall.
Zhan Hongyue observed everyone's every move behind him, and couldn't help but nod secretly, the previous batch of guards who had not reached the 50th rank all retreated, but these 5 young children had been persevering, bearing the pressure that they should not be able to bear at their age.
Song Shilin is the eldest lady of the Song family, and she has had the best education and the best resources since she was a child. Naturally, the quality and ability of the students of the Holy Academy cannot be compared with ordinary people. It's just that—this Jun Wunian—Zhan Hongyue's somewhat puzzled gaze fell on Jun Wunian's body.
Generally speaking, only those who have no money, lack of money, and no background will be willing to be a mercenary, but if Jun Wunian is a teenager with no background, why is his strength almost comparable to the best of the same age according to his age? Zhan Hongyue looked at Jun Wunian with an inquiring eye.
...... Time passed minute by minute, and everyone walked step by step.
500 meters –
Jun Wunian turned his head and looked at his companions with some concern. Sure enough, Meng Qin'er and Chen Yixiao were already a little unable to support it, not because they couldn't support the pressure, but because the elemental power in their bodies was on the verge of exhaustion.
With the help of Lan Sheng blocking the sight of Song Shilin and Zhan Hongyue behind him, Jun Wunian quietly stretched out a hand and put it on Meng Qin'er's shoulder, and then said two words softly to Chen Yixiao: "Give me-"
There were two words without a head and no brain, but Chen Yixiao instantly understood, he took out a warm and smooth bead from his pocket and handed it to Jun Wunian.
This piece of jade is the reward that Chen Yixiao won first in the final of the assessment competition - Hui Tianzhu, what is the function of this bead, Jun Wunian is not very clear, but Jun Wunian knows one of the functions of this bead - it can convert the elemental power of any attribute to the elemental power of the corresponding attribute, and use it for the receiver, with a conversion rate of 50%.
A very real function, Jun Wunian input his power of the thunder element back into the dzi, and the dzi converts the power of the thunder element into the elemental power that Meng Qin'er can absorb without attributes, and the elemental power flows out of Jun Wunian's hand along the dzi and slowly transmits it into Meng Qin'er's body. Meng Qin'er instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and the recovery of the elemental power in her body made her actions no longer as difficult as just now.
Jun Wunian passed on the power of the elements to Chen Yixiao again according to the gourd painting, and Chen Yixiao was also much more relaxed all of a sudden.
Chen Yixiao seemed to remember something, took out a kettle from his backpack, and handed it to Jun Wunian.
Jun Wunian is very familiar with the things in this kettle - Chen Yixiao's Biling tea is the kind that can continuously restore the power of the elements, and Chen Yixiao often takes it out and distributes it to everyone before the game. Jun Wunian took a sip and passed the kettle to Lan Sheng very naturally, Lan Sheng also raised his head and took a sip, as if he didn't mind that Jun Wunian had drunk this kettle.
Chen Yixiao had just taken out another kettle in his hand, and he wanted to hand the kettle to Lan Sheng. But when he looked up, he saw Lan Sheng raising his head and drinking the Biling tea in Jun Wunian's kettle, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and handed the kettle in his hand to Meng Qin'er, and then took out a kettle himself and drank a big sip of Biling tea.
