Chapter 218: Hardship and Pain
No!
looked at the white tiger with a dead face, and the next moment...... The green-armored phantom beast looked at me with a shocked look on his face and asked tremblingly, "Is this ...... What kind of skill is this? How is it possible? How can it break through my defenses?"
Listening to the words of the green-armored warrior, I couldn't help but smile slightly, and after thinking about it slightly, I gave the terrifying combat skill of the White Tiger a name that might not be very suitable.
Looking at the white tiger standing proudly in the ring, and then at me, the green-armored phantom beast envoy finally lowered his head that had been held high, and said sincerely: "I was defeated, but ...... Although I was defeated in the hands of the third-order phantom beast, I didn't complain anymore, this kind of attack was really terrifying, if it was such an attack from the beginning, maybe I ......"
Halfway through speaking, the green-armored warrior shook his head helplessly, turned around and left the ring, and walked towards the depths of the forest without looking back, looking at his figure gradually moving away, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head, not reborn nine times, even if the white tiger wants to, I'm afraid he won't be able to perform this trick, only by grinding for so long, the white tiger can possibly cast the most powerful and sharpest claws!
Congratulations!
When I was silently looking at the back of the green-armored phantom beast, the referee on the sidelines said: "Congratulations young man, after your hard work, you have successfully defeated the champion and successfully entered the fourth round of testing, this is your number plate, please take it well"
I turned my head suspiciously, only to see that the referee didn't know when he had come to me, and at this moment...... He was holding a palm-sized sign with the number 14 written on it!
I don't know what this brand is for, but ...... Since the referee gave it to me, it must have something to do with the test below, so ...... I took the sign silently, silently followed the referee's instructions, hung the sign on my chest, and saw that I had completed everything as required, and the referee continued to speak: "Now, you can pass through the cave over there and enter the next level of the test venue, I wish you a smooth game!"
Smiling and thanking the referee, I turned around and hurried in the direction of the cave I had seen when I first came here, and as I went, I secretly guessed what kind of test the next level would be......? The four elders walked out of the darkness with a serious face, and came to the ring, and several people looked at the ring that had been broken, and no one said a word.
"Hey...... How the hell did he do it?" Dia muttered, but unfortunately, no one could answer her question, a third-order phantom beast can actually defeat a fifth-order phantom beast, this is too exaggerated, if it can really be done, then what else do you want to do at this rank?After Dia's voice, Elder Feng's eyes lit up and said: "Although, I don't know how he did it, but we seem to have started to look forward to it, expecting him to really pass all the tests!"
On the other side, all the way to the entrance of the cave guarded by the guards, I looked at the sign on my chest, several soldiers tacitly got out of the way, and I walked in unceremoniously through the passage they let go, it seems...
... The first function of this brand is the pass!
I walked all the way down the silent cave passage, and after a few turns in a row, I lost my direction completely, but one thing I knew for sure was that the direction I was going was all the way up!
Finally...... After a few turns, I came to a huge cave hall, and at this moment...... In addition to me, there are already seventeen or eighteen phantom beast envoys, who came here one step ahead of me, and now...... Everyone is scattered around the corner, waiting for the next level of testing to begin!
The test has lasted all day, and we have not entered a drop of water for a whole day, including me, the phantom beast envoys with a weak system have already felt tired, especially the battle just now, which makes us physically and mentally exhausted, and we can't wait to lie down and sleep immediately.
In comparison, I'm probably better, I've only played one game on my own, and although it's hard, I'm undoubtedly the lightest one compared to those guys who have been competing for a full four hours.
Miao!Miao!Li......
I just found a corner to sit down and rest for less than ten minutes, and before I could even out my breath, there were several continuous whistling sounds in the direction of the entrance, and then ...... The figures of the four elders appeared on the stone platform in the cave hall......
Elder Feng slapped his face vigorously, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and for a while, the 20 players who had passed the third level test came over to the stone platform in the cave hall one after another.
The cave hall is not big, and there are not many people, so after a while, everyone has gathered together, looking at the limited 20 phantom beast envoys around, I can't help but nod silently, these are the leaders of the young generation of the Lost City, representing the highest level of the young generation of Illusion Beasts in the Lost City!
Just as he was thinking about it, Elder Feng's voice rang out: "Phantom beast envoys, I know...... After a whole day of competition, everyone fought wits and strength, and they were already very tired, but ...... As a phantom beast envoy, if you can't even eat such a little pain, and you don't even have such a little perseverance, then ...... I can tell you with certainty that you will never become a great Phantom Beast Envoy!"
Speaking of this, Elder Feng paused slightly, and then continued: "There will always be a link in the selection of Elders of the Lost City, which is used to test everyone's willpower, test everyone's perseverance, and perseverance, I can tell you very clearly that this fourth level is exactly what is tested!"
Ah l listened to Elder Feng's words, everyone exclaimed, oh my God, l l has been assessing and fighting all day, and now he can still stand here steadily, it has made everyone very proud, now it's good, the next thing to do is actually a test of will, and perseverance, this ...... It's a human life!
Listening to everyone's exclamations and looking at everyone's miserable expressions, Elder Feng did not relent, and continued majestically: "The next test is very simple, everyone has seen it, in the cave hall, there are four passages, next, everyone according to the attributes of their phantom beasts, enter their respective caves, and go to the test of your perseverance and willpower!"
Hearing Elder Feng's words, all the people who participated in the test made bitter faces, but everyone knew very well that this was non-negotiable, and in desperation, everyone gathered in front of their respective cave entrances in twos and threes!
When everyone was in place, Elder Feng spoke again: "This test is very simple, as long as everyone persists in rushing to the end and successfully finds another exit from this cave, they will pass the level, and those who give up halfway, or stop, will immediately lose the qualification to continue!"
After a slight pause, Elder Feng shouted in a deep voice, "Okay, now...... It's game on!"
Following Elder Feng's words, the 20 Phantom Beast Envoys were divided into four teams and walked towards the four cave entrances, and in the blink of an eye, only the four elders and other staff members were left in the entire cave hall.
As for me, after thinking about it again, I chose the channel of the water system, and why......? I have all the four attribute phantom beasts, so I can choose whichever one I want, which is incomparable to others.
As for why among the four series, I don't choose wind, fire, or earth, but only water, there is a reason, first of all...... There are only two people who choose water, and fewer people mean that the competitiveness is lower.
On the other hand, hehe...... Although I don't know what the test of the competition is, but I am in the same channel, but two girls, no matter how bad I am, I can't even run two girls!
On the other hand, I don't know what the content of the test is, but testing with two young and beautiful girls, no matter what, it's a beautiful enjoyment, if I have a choice, why don't I choose this one......? Smack...... Smack......
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the empty cave, a group of three, we silently moved forward, I walked alone in front, two girls in blue robes, closely followed behind me, I had been walking for more than half an hour, but I didn't even know what they looked like.
Actually, it's not that I don't want to see them, it's just that I don't know why, I'm a little embarrassed to look at them, and whenever I sneak back and look at the two of them, I always find that they are looking at me with those bright eyes, and I feel like a thief, and I don't dare to look at them at all.
In desperation, I had no choice but to move on, and at this moment...... I have regretted my choice, I knew that it was so embarrassing, it was better to choose another channel, it was much better than the current one, and the atmosphere was weird and tense.
Just thinking about it, the girl behind her screamed violently, and when she looked back suspiciously, she saw that the two girls didn't know when they had been pulled far away by me, and looked at the distance between us, it was already thirty or forty meters!
Puzzled, he stopped, watched the two women approach, and finally ...... This time I saw the faces of the two girls clearly, hehe...
... It's not bad, although it's not a peerless beauty, but it's the kind of super cute little sister, just looking at them, people can't help but want to hold them in their arms and pity, and kiss them on their red little faces.
That's right, I'm definitely not exaggerating, he's the kind of cute girl who can soften your heart, and I'm sure any man can't ignore them for such a cute girl.
Looking at the two girls approaching, I smiled and said, "Are you calling me?"
One of the girls nodded and said shyly, "yes...... It's just to call you, can you go slower, we...
... We can't keep up with you a little bit!"
Aaa!
Hearing the girl's words, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide in astonishment, and subconsciously thought: "This is a test of the nature of a competition, I didn't kill them, I was already merciful, how could I still wait for you?"
Seeing my stunned expression, the two girls couldn't help blushing at the same time, standing there at a loss, and didn't know what to say for a while, since it was a competition, they might always ask others to wait for them, this reason, they themselves were very clear looking at the cute appearance of the two girls, I finally shook my head, nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you, but ...... Come on, don't be too slow!"
En nodded happily, the two girls couldn't help but glance at each other, and then said at the same time: "Don't worry, this test, we are not the elder candidates of the Benshui Department, we just want to take the opportunity to exercise ourselves!"
After listening to the words of the two girls, I couldn't help but gesture slightly, motioned for the two girls to continue to follow me, and then ...... As I walked, I asked puzzledly, "Why, since you have participated in the test and have suffered so much, why don't you want to challenge the candidate for elder?"
Listening to my words, the two girls couldn't help but sigh in unison, and the girl with a pair of cute dimples explained: "With Sister Diya, how can we have a chance, now...... Sister Dia's water spirit is already a sixth-order phantom beast, and it is not something we can compete with at all, so ...... Listening to the words of the two girls, I couldn't help but be curious, I knew very well that even if I defeated the elder candidates of the four families, I would have to defeat Dia again before I could take over as the city lord of the Lost City, otherwise, all my efforts would be in vain!
Since I must have karma on God) then before that, it would be wrong to know a little more about her's so-called confidant and enemy, win all battles, before officially facing God, I want to know as much as I can about her!
Thinking of this, I thought for a moment, and then said without a trace: "Is Dia very powerful? I can't see it, I can get here, I believe that you are not weak, why be afraid of her?"
Listening to my words, the two scheming girls didn't notice anything at all, and the girl with a pair of dimples replied: "The main reason why you say this is because you haven't seen Sister Dia's strength, if you really see it, I'm sure you will never say that!"
As soon as her words fell, another girl immediately said: "That is, Sister Dia's strength, in the age group of under 30 years old, there is absolutely no opponent, you must know that Sister Dia's phantom beast has not only reached the sixth order, but has also evolved three times, and ...... The evolution of Sister Dia's phantom beast is a perfect evolution, just like Sister Dia's person, her phantom beast is perfect!"
En'en'......
Without waiting for the girl to finish speaking, the girl with two dimples came over and said: "This time, you should have the opportunity to fight against Sister Dia, and then you will know that everything about Sister Dia is perfect, perfect person, perfect phantom beast, perfect evolution, and perfect combat skills, in front of Sister Dia, even the other three elders are not victorious!"
Ahh......h
Listening to the two girls' wordless answers, my heart couldn't help but be completely cold, although I don't know what the level of the two girls is, but how can someone who can enter the top 20 list be an ordinary person, not to mention ...... Even the other three elders can't easily defeat the phantom beast, the phantom beast that is a whole three orders higher than my phantom beast, how can I defeat it!
The earth-based phantom beast that I fought against today was only two orders higher than my phantom beast, and I had already exhausted all means, just imagine, how terrifying would it be for a sixth-order phantom beast that was three orders higher than me?
Two orders higher means that the strength is four times stronger than my phantom beast, so three orders higher means eight times higher than my phantom beast! How to make up for the eight-fold gap? If I didn't fight against the green-armored phantom beast, I might have been blindly optimistic, but it was precisely because I fought with him that I understood what the difference in rank meant, that means, even if people don't move, let you attack, you won't be able to hurt a single hair! To defeat the green pangolin, I used the phantom beast to carry out a wheel battle, consume the energy of the opponent's phantom beast, and then completely destroy the opponent through the new combat skills of the white tiger.
However, in the face of an illusory beast that is eight times more powerful than my phantom beast, how can I consume the other party's energy? Not to mention...
... Dia's Phantom Beast has undergone three evolutions, and it is three perfect evolutions, and it has the so-called perfect combat skills! In this way, the gap between us has widened even further!
Walking in front wordlessly, I didn't say a word, imagining Diya with a soft appearance, my whole body couldn't help but chill, it was terrible, I really didn't know how she practiced, obviously she was not yet 30 years old, but she had already raised the phantom beast to the sixth order, and evolved three times, how could this be possible!
Ay...... I'm so hungry, I'm so tired!
Just thinking about it, there were sighs of two girls behind me, and I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, in fact, I'm also hungry, I'm also tired, but ...... Because of thinking about the problem for a long time, I ignore all this.
With a slight movement in my heart, I remembered the jerky and water prepared in my arms, although the amount was not much, but because it was compressed, it was enough for one person to eat for three days!
Looking back at the painful expressions of the two girls, I couldn't help sighing, in the current situation, I can't eat and drink alone, let the two girls go, helplessly, I slowed down, and waited for the two girls to catch up, although I can't stop, but eat and drink, increase a little physical strength, it's absolutely no problem.
When the two girls caught up with me, I gently reached into my arms, took out the jerky that I had been carrying, and gently handed it over, "There are some jerky here, do you two want to have some!"
Ah!
Hearing my words, the two girls couldn't help but show a surprised expression, their eyes looked closely at the jerky in my hand, and then quickly stretched out their hands, one of them grabbed a piece, put it in their mouths and chewed it.
Looking at the happy expressions of the two of them, I couldn't help but smile, this jerky tastes really good, and it is a must-have for long-term travelers, but ...... For those who don't travel, this thing is very foreign.
I've been traveling everywhere for almost a year, so ...... I have always carried these jerky with me, and when I was traveling, I didn't have a punctual meal, so I took it out to eat when I was hungry, and I drank it when I was thirsty, and the bitterness of travel was beyond the knowledge of outsiders.
Gently took out a piece of jerky, I also ate it, although this jerky tastes very beautiful, but there is a shortcoming, that is, it is particularly dry, it needs a lot of saliva to moisturize, before it can be swallowed, so ...... After only a few bites, I started to feel thirsty.
However, because I have been eating for a long time, so my endurance is also very strong, so after eating for a while, there is still a supply of saliva, and the two girls are different, because they eat very little, even the first time they eat, so after eating for a while, their mouth is dry, while chewing the jerky with difficulty, while touching their throats in pain, they can't swallow at all.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile, took out a water bag from my arms and handed it over, saying, "There is some water here, you can drink some water, remember! Don't drink too much, otherwise your stomach will be swollen!"
Seeing that I actually had water to provide, the two girls were overjoyed, quickly took the water bag, and drank it happily, fortunately, the two girls knew that the water could not be drunk more, and they did not drink too much, but just took a big sip and stopped.
With the clear water, the two girls finally finished eating the two large pieces of jerky, don't underestimate these jerky, just such a slice will ensure that you won't be hungry all day, but ...... The only downside is that you will be thirsty a lot!
I've seen this kind of jerky production process with my own eyes, it's made from the meat of an unknown monster, and it's a big piece of meat to make a whole piece of jerky, so ..... Once eaten in the stomach, as long as there is enough water, the jerky will return to its original size, enough to digest for the whole day.
Gently took the water bag handed back by the two women, I just finished eating my own piece of jerky, cleared my throat with satisfaction, I unplugged the water bag, and drank it on my head.
Hey!
As soon as I took a big sip, the two girls screamed, put down the water bag in confusion, and looked at the two girls in confusion, but unexpectedly found that the two girls had blushed and looked at me with shame.
Puzzled, I frowned, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
You...... You......
Faced with my question, the two girls couldn't help but stand up, there is a problem absolutely, but what do they want to say Seeing that the two girls were silent, I shook my head in confusion, picked up the water bag again, put it to my mouth, and drank a big sip happily, then closed the lid and put it back in my arms.
Looking at the man's nerves in front of him, the two girls were about to faint in shame, how could this person be like this, you know, they just drank water from the mouth of the water bag just now, he drank like this, isn't that ...... Isn't that the same as indirectly with them, and with them......
Wordlessly following the young man, the two girls did not dare to say a word shyly, in their opinion, this bad fellow must have done it on purpose, yes {It must be like this, this bad fellow has no idea what kind of dirty thoughts are in his head!}
Smack...... Smack...... Smack......
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the empty cave passage, we don't know how long we had walked, but we still didn't find the exit, and looked back at the two girls with pity, at this moment...... They couldn't straighten up with their hands on the wall, and the two of them walked forward with difficulty.
He shook his head helplessly, although he was not sure, but judging from the food consumed, in this endless passage, we may have walked for two days and two nights, and the most painful thing is that we can't stop, even if we go slowly, we are not allowed to stop, otherwise, we will immediately lose the qualification for the competition!
For two days in a row, we did not run out of food, nor did we run out of water, you know, we are the phantom beasts of the water system, how can we not have water?
However, despite this, just walking has already endured enough for us, and what makes us feel especially painful is that this passage does not know when it will end, perhaps...... We are only halfway through, and this invisible pressure is what makes us the most painful!
If there is a goal, we can muster up the courage, cheer up, and work hard, but once there is no goal, we have completely lost our direction, and we don't know when it is an end.
Thump...... Thump......
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly ...... There were two muffled noises behind him, and when he looked back suspiciously, he saw two girls, who had already sat down on the ground one after another, and in the difficult breathing, it seemed that they could no longer stand up!
Stand up!
Looking at the two girls, I scolded angrily, but ...... In the face of my roar, the two girls shook their heads in pain and said helplessly, "No......! We can't hold on any longer, so let's go! Leave us alone and let's take a break here!"
Looking at the painful appearance of the two girls, to be honest, I also pity them in my heart, but I know that in this world, it is impossible to survive by relying on human mercy, whether it is on the earth or in this magical world, you can always rely on yourself! If you give up yourself, then no one can help you!
A successful person, and a failed person, their biggest difference is here, in the face of pain and difficulties, can grit your teeth and persevere, can endure the pain and survive, then you win, once you give up halfway, then you will inevitably fail!
Thinking of this, I said angrily: "What are you guys doing? Are you going to give up after such a little pain? In this case, what qualifications do you have to continue to be a phantom beast envoy, do you think that if you lie in bed and sleep a lot every day, eat fragrant food and drink spicy food every day, you will become the best phantom beast envoy?"
Woo!
Hearing my words, the two girls couldn't help crying, rubbing their small feet while crying, and said, "We know that if you want to become a phantom beast envoy, you must endure hardships, but ...... Our feet have been blistered and broken, and we really can't walk, so you can go, leave us alone!"
Hmph Facing the two girls' begging for mercy, I didn't say anything, turned around, walked to the two girls' side, pulled them up one by one, and scolded in a low voice: "The exit is not far ahead, if you fall here, your life will be over, grit your teeth, no matter how painful it is, you have to persevere!"
As I spoke, I put the arms of the two women on my shoulders, half-hugged and half-dragged them, and walked forward with difficulty, although I didn't know how far ahead, but ...... I won't allow them to give up on themselves like that!
Seeing me do this, the two girls couldn't help but look at me with complicated expressions, feeling the complicated eyes of the two girls, I said coldly: "This world is cruel, remember! No matter what, don't give up on yourself, if you give up on yourself, then the whole world will give up on you, suffer hard, be a master, hold on, persevere...... It can work miracles!"
Put...... Hearing my words, the two girls couldn't help but shine brightly in their eyes and resolutely asked me to let them go.
