Chapter Forty-Nine: The Space of Destruction
"Everyone's mood at this time may be excited, it may be nervous. But the fight is brutal. The rules of this 'military training' are no exception. Those who have the courage come to try, and those who do not have the courage to quit. "Cornish is a dismount as soon as he comes up.
There was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone whispered to each other. "What is this, who do you look down on!"
"It's ......"
"That's it!"
Seeing that his majesty was about to be lost if this continued, Conish glared at all the mercenaries, and suddenly no one dared to speak in this crowd. "This trial is in the space of separation, everyone knows that this is the ultimate space created by our cadres, where the trial will not be injured, but the premise is that you can walk into that space alive. ”
Hearing this, Hain was a little puzzled, since it was a 'training soldier' to let everyone enter a safe space, why let the mercenaries enter such a dangerous area. "Geist, is there any difference between the world in the space of extinction and the world in the eyes of a cat?"
Geist was still just as sullen, he glanced at Hain, since they were going to fight together as companions, they couldn't be suspicious of each other, Geist still understood this truth. But he was still haunted by Leon's mission. "Well, just like old man Cornish said, it's quite dangerous, how scared. ”
Hain smiled, "How is it possible!" Hain felt that Geist's tone was too cold and stiff, and he seemed to have been drenched in cold water on his head, so he could only answer silently.
"Those of you who are brave gather now at my left-hand side, and then you will drink the special potion, which is made from the blood of the most poisonous silver sea serpent apostle known, and it is either life or death. Only someone who is strong enough in Lute will not be poisoned. Humans who can endure this pain will not be crushed into powder by the gap in space the moment they enter the space of separation. Of course, we're going to get rid of the poison, but the people who drink it don't feel very good. I recommend trying the mercenaries below the mid-chamberlain!"
"Ahh "Damn! Silver Sea Serpent Venom, my God! Did I hear me wrong, isn't that a poison that can take the life of an ordinary person in a matter of seconds with just a few drops? I've heard that although the master who drank that was not worried about his life, for a while it was like a heart attack, and his heart burst like a heartbeat, and some people were not poisoned, but committed suicide because they couldn't bear the pain. Hain whispered to Geist.
Geist just looked at Hayne coldly, "It's too late to be scared now, training is not just a competition between skill and Lute." The first of these is guts, and then there's the will, a toxin that destroys the human will with the sense of pain. ”
Hain looked at Geist's eyes, and there was really a sense of retreat. Lore grabbed Hain's hand, clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture.
Hain took a deep breath, "Do you have the guts to compete with me? Geist won't lose to you." Let's go over there, who is afraid of whom! I haven't tasted the blood of the silver sea serpents, and I won't miss this opportunity today?"
At this time, most of the mercenaries had already stood in line, and less than a hundred of them chose to challenge. This number is one-twentieth of the mercenary group.
"Alas...... That's all there is to it, I'll count to three, and you can think about it!" Cornish's stern voice shook a few people before he could begin counting, and walked back to the line on the right.
"Three, two!"
"One!" About ten more people gave up. Although it can be seen that they are unwilling. After all, if you don't do your best, you may lose your life.
"Thank you for the courage of these warriors, and don't be discouraged by the people on the right, most of you are self-aware, but some of you may have the strength, but they are not bold enough and not confident enough. Conish said.
Leon glanced at the members of the team on the left, he was still satisfied, there were faces he wanted to see, "Cornish, get the medicine!
Hayne received the poison from a woman in a Red Cross uniform, and each mercenary was accompanied by a member of the medical team, ready to inject the mercenary with the antidote. The woman beside Hain was not tall and only about one meter five, and her appearance was mediocre, and she looked at Hain with envy.
"Alright, let's get ready to die! If you can't hold on, stop at any time. Don't hesitate, human life is still fragile. "Leone's last warning.
Geist glanced at Hain, "I'll drink first, don't be pushy." As he spoke, Geist took out the poison in his hand in one gulp, and as soon as he smiled at Hain, the bright smile was fleeting, and the veins of his whole body turned purple and bulged. At this time, the coronary arteries of his heart also began to infarct, and a steady stream of blood was congested in the coronary arteries. His heart felt like it was going to burst, and Geist yelled, his teeth already piercing his lips.
"What's wrong with you, medical class!" Hain cried out in horror.
A man from the medical class opened Geist's pupils and looked at it. He had a silver pocket watch in his hand, and he looked at the time. Hain was a little surprised at this time, they were not looking at the first aid, but looking at the time, could it be that time is not a criterion other than the assessment?
"Hain, you underestimate my will, don't call the medical class! I'm fine!"
Geist reluctantly squeezed out these two sentences, his remaining sanity calmed him down, and he began to mobilize the Lute in his body to unclog the blood vessels. The white wind enveloped his body, and the blood vessels in his limbs began to slowly recover, and the crystal liquid seemed to flow through the veins of his body. His whole body turned from black-purple to a normal color of blood. Eventually, he survived, and he stood up like a normal person.
"Geist! you've heard me!" Hain congratulated.
The man in the medical class glanced at Geist's pupils and looked at the pocket watch in his hand. Write down the time in a notebook for one minute and twelve seconds.
Lorte also drank the poison, and his reaction was stronger than Geist's. Fortunately, he also survived, and the time was one minute and fifty seconds.
Hain looked around, the mercenaries screaming in pain. Many people have not been able to complete this test, and they have been hovering on the death line for a while. There are probably more than 40 people who have completed the test. Hain was the only one who didn't drink the poison. Hain saw the man he had met on the commission bulletin board in the crowd, and the man in the medical squad next to him exclaimed, "Ten seconds! Oh my God! Mr. Scharnhorst, you are the strongest man I have ever seen." ”
"Cut, how did that man participate! Ten seconds is a real man? Time is so short, it looks like you can't find a woman. Geist teased as he walked over to Scharnhorst.
