At noon, the sun overhead is at its hottest.

On a rugged and desolate mountain road, eight young boys and girls with bamboo baskets on their backs are slowly moving their tired figures under the scorching sun!

The sunlight shone on the eight people, and the familiar faces of Zhao Yun and the others came into their eyes.

"I'm quitting, let's take a shortcut!" Ma Hongjun, who was walking in the penultimate position, stopped, raised his head and said in his throat.

As he spoke, he reached out and threw the bamboo basket behind him on the ground, "Bang! "The seemingly light bamboo basket did not bounce up as imagined when it hit the ground, but made an unusually heavy impact sound!

Then a round and irregular big stone rolled out of the fallen bamboo basket, no wonder Ma Hongjun couldn't stand it, looking at the size of this stone, it must weigh more than ten catties!

Originally, for these soul masters, a weight of one or twenty catties was nothing at all, but as I said, it was the original!

The master's punishment stipulates that they can only rely on their own strength to complete the devil's path, and the soul master who does not have the soul power bonus is just a stronger ordinary person!

As for why the eight people were punished, according to the master's original words: not having enough strength but trying to be strong, knowing the opponent's arrogance but still blindly arrogant, such behavior and combat performance can only be punished!

"I agree, otherwise we should use some soul power, anyway, the master doesn't know!" Ning Rongrong saw that everyone stopped, and hurriedly found a stone to sit down and rest, and the wind that fanned him with his hand also suggested.

Dai Mubai, who was walking in the middle, heard the words of Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, and said with disdain without looking back: "If you want to use it, you can't bear it at all!" ”

The seven of them combined, they didn't win Zhao Yun, who was restricted by many conditions, if it weren't for Xiao Wu, maybe they might not be able to beat Zhao Yun, thinking about it, he felt that he needed more training!

When Ma Hongjun heard Dai Mubai's words of "pretending to be forced", he couldn't help but go back with the same contempt: "Yo, then you are not afraid of physical punishment, don't you still feel very cool?" ”

"What did you say?" Just listening to the tone of the dead fat man, Dai Mubai almost went berserk, and the two of them were about to pinch together when they talked!

"That's it!" Zhao Yun, who was originally walking in front of the team, saw that everyone had an argument, and walked over to separate the two people whose faces were about to touch together.

Then he turned to look at everyone and smiled: "You think about the whole thing, don't you think it's more like a test for us by the master than that walking the devil's path is a punishment?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's reminder, everyone was not stupid, and recalled a few of the details, such as the bamboo basket was arranged in advance, and the bamboo basket had their respective names and stones of corresponding different weights written on it, and their thinking suddenly became clear!

"The master is so treacherous!" Everyone sighed, having appreciated the benefits of the first stage of the test, they knew that the master would not assign them a task for no reason, and once the task was completed, it would definitely improve their strength!

can improve their strength, everyone completely dispelled the idea of playing clever, and only thought about completing the task carefully arranged by the master for them!

After resting on the spot for a while, the eight of them continued to walk west along the Devil's Road, it was about twelve o'clock at noon, and they had already set off for more than three hours, and they had only walked more than a hundred kilometers at a trot and sprint all the way!

And the entire Devil's Road is nearly 400 kilometers long, and if they want to reach Soto City at the end of the Devil's Road before dark, they must speed up their journey!

An hour later.

"There's water here!" Tang San, who was walking in the front left row, found a small pond a hundred meters away in front of him, and immediately turned around with a smile and waved his arm, signaling loudly to everyone behind him.

Water is the source of all things, for the eight people who have experienced exposure to the sun and serious physical exertion, replenishing water is the top priority at present, and some of the water stored in the soul guide before departure has been drunk by the eight people early!

However, it is not just eight people who need water, especially in such a desolate place, where this small pond is like a treasure, how can it not have its owner!

"Woo~" Before Zhao Yun and the others approached the small pond, under the shade of the boulder on the side, an adult-sized dark brown lone wolf burst out, roaring into the sky.

Agile in the middle of the eight people and the small pond, the lone wolf's royal blue eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he glared fiercely at the humans who had offended their territory, baring his teeth in warning.

"This ......" overjoyed everyone who ran towards the pond, seeing the "Cheng Biting Gold" that was killed halfway, couldn't help but stop and seek advice from each other!

Wolf hunting: According to legend, it is born from the cross between a wolf soul beast and an ordinary wolf beast, the body cannot produce soul power, and it has not stepped into the ranks of soul beasts, but its physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary beasts.

If there is only one hunting wolf, eight people will not hesitate, the key is that this kind of hybrid wolf collective consciousness is too strong, even a small hunting wolf pack, to say the least, there are hundreds of hunting wolves, and they never act alone!

This means that since there is a wolf hunter guarding the water source, there must be a habitat for a wolf hunting colony around!

The howl of this hunting wolf just now should be summoning their companions, if they drink water, they will offend this group of beasts, and with their flawed nature, they will definitely chase after the eight people!

If they are entangled in the life and death of this group of animals at this time, not to mention whether the task can be completed on time, their personal safety is difficult to guarantee!

But looking at the clear pond in front of them, they really need to replenish water urgently, otherwise they are likely to faint if they can't hold on to Soto City!

"Boss, I'm so thirsty!" Ma Hongjun pursed his chapped lips and begged Zhao Yun in front of him, his voice was already hoarse because of the lack of water!

Zhao Yun turned his head to look around at the people behind him, even Dai Mubai and Tang San, who were in slightly better condition, were all showing obvious signs of dehydration at this time, the wolves were already on their way, and they couldn't drag it any longer!

"Mu Bai, you take everyone to go first in a while, and I'll contain the wolves!" Zhao Yun finally stopped his eyes on Dai Mubai and smiled at him.

"No, if you stay, I'll stay too!" Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Xiao Wu immediately objected, she would never allow herself to watch Zhao Yun fall into a deep predicament alone!

Xiao Wu's resolute gaze shot straight into Zhao Yun's heart, and Zhao Yun changed his words to Dai Mubai, "In this case, Xiao Wu and I will stay and drag the wolves, and you and Xiao San will take the fat man and them first to ensure their safety!" ”

Seeing that Dai Mubai was still hesitating, Zhao Yun added: "Dai Laoer, this is an order, Xiao Wu and I will get rid of the wolves, and then we will catch up with you!" ”

"Yes!" Dai Mubai knew that time was precious now, and he believed that Zhao Yun would definitely be able to retreat with his whole body, and their words would only slow him down!

"Boss, why don't you give us a little bit of the stone!" Oscar said weakly, he could barely carry ten kilograms of burden, and at this time, Zhao Yun's bamboo basket still had a full forty kilograms of stones!

Weighing the weight of the stone on his back, Zhao Yun replied with a smile: "It's okay, this weight is not in the way, but you have to go fast for a while, I may not be able to delay for long!" ”

Looking at Zhao Yun, who was still smiling, the softest place in everyone's hearts was touched, this man was obviously the real pride of the sky, but he never showed half a sense of superiority, and dedicated himself to this team!

It turns out that this is the real team, dedicate to each other, pay each other, bear together, and grow together!!
