The four of them headed in the direction of the valley that Claude had pointed. The dead wood around them became scarcer, and the only ones that burned were burning brightly.

"Damn, I'd rather freeze to death than this kind of place!" O'Gray cursed.

"Say less. Since this is the way it looks, the other starting points must not be much better. Sivir said.

Claude and Lucian looked at each other. After learning the direction, Sivir took the lead as a pioneer. Several times the magma fell out of the rocks, and she blocked them as if she knew it. At first, Orgre would warn, but after a few times, even the beast spirit, who was said to have a dull head, realized that the Lonellan woman had a perception that was no less than that of the beast spirit, so he stopped squeaking.

"Hey, why didn't you see any other teams all the way over?" Lucian asked.

"It's huge, and there are four starting points. There are only a few hundred people who come in, and the probability of being able to meet them is very small. Sivir replied without looking back.

Lucian said, "Hey, Sivir, where are you from, how do you know this place so well?"

"The South Shore, the South Shore of the Eastern Continent. Sivir turned slightly, revealing her arm, which had a distinct eagle tattoo on her right arm.

"Even if I say it, it's the same as if I didn't say it. Let's concentrate on the road!"

Lu Xi'an was dissatisfied, but he had nothing to say. As Sivir said, how can Lucian's experience know so much, after all, he is a child who has never set foot in the queen's city.

"Do the Lonellans have such an impulse?" O'Grey touched his head, and found that his hairs had been shriveled by the heat, and his facial features were twisted together in displeasure.

Claude shrugged and said, "Actually, it's all because this kid has too many mouths." ”

Lucian turned around when he heard this, and said unhappily: "I'm just curious!"

"Xinqi killed the cat. Claude smiled.

As the journey passed, the two towering peaks finally came into view. By this time, the ground beneath their feet had cracked so badly that the gaps between the stones were large enough to hold the soles of Ogray's feet. I don't know how many times the clothes on the four of them have been wet and dry and wet, and the skin of their lips has been cracked due to dryness.

They rarely spoke again, and none of the four had drunk a drop of water since they arrived. His physical strength was depleted very quickly with the passage of sweat, and O'Gree was already in excellent physical condition, except for the fact that his hair had already stood there like a large area of charcoal, and he was still able to move. Claude and Lucian, on the other hand, were exhausted.

"Let's stop and fix it up for a while. ”

Sivir, who had been silent along the way, stopped and spoke. The three people behind him all stopped their pace, and Claude even held his thighs and gasped.

"It looks like it's going to take a long time to get to the entrance of the valley. Claude, try to see if there's any water over here. Sivir said.

Claude nodded, sweat already soaking his hair, beads of sweat falling from his face to the ground with his movements, and then turning into steam with a slight sound.

Sivir's breathing was no longer as smooth as it had been before, and she had already put the bronze sword back on her back. At this moment, judging from her standing posture, the consumption of physical energy is also quite huge.

"Can you see it?" said Sivir.

Claude nodded again, trying to stand up straight, looking around. After a few attempts, he shook his head helplessly and said, "No, no, I think we have gone a little deeper, and all I can see is firelight, a red ...... No, no life. ”

Even Sivir was disappointed by Claude's reply. She couldn't remember how far they had come, but the situation they were in was like purgatory, and she wanted to throw away even the clothes she had.

She finally couldn't bear the exertion of physical energy, supported her knees with her hands, and lowered her head in silence. Her bare skin was red from the heat.

"Could it be, the wrong one?" Lucian gritted his teeth, his voice scrambled with heavy breathing.

The crowd was silent.

Perhaps Lucian's skepticism was merely a complaint. All the way to this point, except for the existence of this signpost, all sides are desolate. If it's not in this direction, where can you choose?

Lucian's silence was not surprising. He struggled to raise his right hand and gesture a thumbs up.

"I—I'm kidding, hehe...... I'm fine, I, let's, move on......! Whew......"

"Help, help me, is there anyone!"

A man's hoarse cry came from the hot air. The four of them looked shocked, searching for the source of the sound.

"There!"

Claude pointed in one direction and was about to rush when Sivir's hand was on his shoulder.

"Wait! I've never seen a single figure along the way, we've been resting here for a while, why do we hear the cry for help now?"

Sivir wondered.

Lucian agreed, "Yes, yes......"

"What if it's really a person?" Claude asked rhetorically.

"That's none of our business. "We don't have enough energy to support more." ”

"Sivir, please don't be so selfish. Even if you think about it from your point of view, what if it's a test taker like us, maybe you can get some information from him?"

With that, Claude slapped Sivir's hand away and walked straight to the source of the cry for help. Orgray didn't think about it, and just followed, and Lucian sighed and followed.

Sivir paused for a moment, and finally reassured himself that Claude was right, and had no choice but to go together.

"Help me!

Seeing Claude appear in front of him, the man's cries for help became even more urgent.

It was a Dikan man, alone trapped on a "stone pillar" that was about to break. The "stone pillar" was some distance from the ground where Claude was, and below it was hot lava pounding at the roots.

"Don't rush!"

Claude reassured, then surveyed the terrain beneath his feet. The distance between the land and the pillar that was isolated at the center of the magma flow was crumbling due to the impact of the magma.

"What to do, what to do?" Claude racked his brains, but he was too powerless to help, so he turned his attention to Orgray.

O'Gree's heavy breathing rattled, and he was helpless in the face of such a situation.

"What's in it for you to save him?" said Sivir.

"Benefits?" Claude looked back at the woman behind him, "I didn't think that much. ”

Sivir also sneered and turned to the trapped man, "What about your teammates?"

"They're all dead! they're all falling! I'm the only one left! Help me!"

The Digan man looked a little strange in his standing position, his left leg seemed to be wounded, and he could barely stand on his right leg.

"Then you should die, too. Sivir sneered.

"Why do you talk like that?" questioned Claude.

Sivir shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "This is just an illusion, and it won't really die." The weak can only have one ending: being eliminated. ”

Although Claude also knew in his heart that all this was just a trial project, but along the way, Claude's heart had long been conquered by the reality of this land. His stubbornness is entirely due to his disbelief that all this is just a "hallucination". Sivir's words leave no room for error, and it is true that in the examination, there is no reason for one team of test takers to help the other team of test takers.

"But I want to save him. Claude said firmly.

"Please, then. "But I warn you, don't risk your own life." ”

Claude stopped talking to Sivier and continued to say to the trapped, "How did you get trapped there?"

"The Flame Demon! we have encountered the Flame Demon!" the Flame Demon was in his tone, "We were cornered, and then, and then I was the only one left!"

Firefiend?

Claude and the others were all shocked, and even Sivir, who was watching coldly, became nervous and looked around.

"What about the fire demons?" Sivir asked the man.

"Ahh

Before the man could reply, another powerful flow of magma hit the base of the isolated pillar, and the whole pillar was already crumbling. Instead, the man let out another exclamation.

"Tell me, where is the Firefiend!" Sivir almost roared.

"I, I...... Help me!" The Nadi people had completely abandoned their dignity at this moment, and cried out hoarsely for help.

In desperation, Claude even took the astral sword from his back, but at this moment, the starlight was as bizarrely calm as a dead thing. In desperation, Claude hesitated, but still held the scabbard of the Starlight Sword in his left hand.

"What are you doing?" Lucian stopped, "You're crazy, what if you lose control again in this situation?"

Claude hurriedly said, "What should I do then? He's dying!"

"Sivir is right, this is just a trial, and we are not obligated to save him. Lucian lowered his head and said.

Claude was shocked by Lucian's statement and turned his gaze to Ogray.

O'Grey didn't dare to look Claude in the eye, and said, "Yes...... We...... is not obligated to ......"

"Don't dwell on this anymore, it's not a long distance, he's a Digen, can't he have the ability to jump?" Sivir urged, "Hurry up." This place is not to stay long!"

Claude said angrily, "Why don't you go first!"

"Can you still move?" Claude asked the Nadi, ignoring Sivir and the others.

"Yes, it should be. ”

"Then you jump as hard as you can, and I'll pick you up!"

Claude reached out to the man as close to the edge of the land as he could.

"Sympathy?" Sivir couldn't hide his anger, and although he was anxious, he had no choice but to stomp his feet on the spot.

"I—I don't know if I can do it!" the man trembled as he bent his right leg, which could only move, and several attempts were still unsuccessful.

"Bastard, what about your confidence as a Digen?" Claude yelled.

As soon as these words came out, it did not exchange for the man's hard work, but was swallowed up by fear.

"Flame Demon, Flame Demon...... It's below me!"

What the!?

"Roar......"

Claude and the others were still shocked, only to hear an overwhelming howl, and a huge claw with raging flames stretched out from the magma, slapping the isolated stone pillar down with the Nadi people!

"Claude!
