Chapter 181: Trying to persevere, approaching the end and encountering robbery
Wang Yan was able to carry a heavy stone of five hundred catties, entirely thanks to the fact that his body had been transformed after entering the immortal realm. Rao is like this, carrying the five hundred catties of heavy stones, he still feels like he has pressed a mountain on his shoulders. If you can't run fast, don't say it, but always pay attention to the road under your feet, in case there is an accident, a dog bite is light, it is very likely to be crushed by heavy stones, and you may not be able to hurt what part of the body.
Wang Yan didn't run far before he was overtaken by more than a dozen people from behind. Seeing that they could still walk like flying while carrying heavy stones, Wang Yan knew that this was just a temporary expression.
These dozen or so people are all people who have just been replenished with plenty of water and food, and have been sitting or lying down for a period of rest. Their bodies have recovered well, and after a short burst out, it is normal for them to be able to carry heavy stones so quickly. It's just that Wang Yan is very skeptical that they can maintain this state for how long?
Sure enough, after Wang Yan turned around the foot of a mountain along the mountain road, he found that the dozen or so people had thrown heavy stones on the side of the road and sat there to rest. Seeing that Wang Yan was catching up, they hurriedly stood up, carried the heavy stone again and hurried, and soon left Wang Yan a short distance.
Wang Yan looked at their backs with a disappointed expression in his eyes. The subconscious minds of these dozen people have been occupied by the thought that they have to stop and rest when they are tired, and their bodies will also send out signals of exhaustion faster and faster, leading them to take frequent rests until they no longer have the strength.
At that time, let alone let them run with 500 pounds of heavy stones. Even if they didn't carry anything and someone pulled them to walk, they didn't want to move half a step anymore. These dozen people will eventually be doomed to fail the test.
Retracting his thoughts, Wang Yan began to look for the wild fruits that were scattered on the side of the road and deliberately hidden by him. His body was already warning of fatigue at this time, and if he didn't replenish water and nutrients, he might follow in the footsteps of those people.
Soon, Wang Yan found two wild fruits and ate them in his stomach. Wang Yan didn't put all the wild fruits he collected into his storage bag, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control them for a while and eat too many wild fruits. That's it. While continuing on the road. It is easy to create an uncomfortable appetite that can affect the speed of travel.
Relying on this method, Wang Yan has maintained a slow and even speed. Although the body felt very tired, he gritted his teeth. He was able to hold on.
I don't know how long it took. Wang Yan suddenly discovered something. It made him feel that something wasn't quite right. Since the dozen or so people were about to be caught up by Wang Yan and carried heavy stones away, Wang Yan had never seen them again. This is very different from Wang Yan's judgment.
According to Wang Yan's thoughts. After such a long time, even if those dozen or so people could still carry heavy rocks and hurry, he should catch up with them. Because Wang Yan has never stopped, and the time for those dozen or so people to stop and rest will only get longer and longer, there is no reason why he can't catch up until now.
However, after thinking about it, Wang Yan was relieved again. This is the fairy world, and I can't measure the situation of the immortals by the views of the world. Maybe those dozen people had a special way of recovering the body, but he didn't know it. If those dozen or so people felt that it was not advisable to stop and rest, so they used special methods to restore their bodies, it would be normal for Wang Yan to not be able to catch up.
Now that he has figured it out, Wang Yan no longer thinks nonsense, and hurries to hurry up. During this period, the beast wanted to talk to Wang Yan several times and cheer him on, but Wang Yan refused. This is because it is easy to get distracted when talking, and if he misses the place where he threw the wild fruit, he will not be able to replenish water and nutrients in time, and it will be very difficult to make it to the next place where the wild fruit is thrown. If you can't return on time because of this, resulting in a failed test, it will be a tragedy that all your efforts have been lost.
When a clear stream appeared in Wang Yan's sight, a smile appeared on his face. The appearance of this creek indicates that this place is not far from the end. Just cross this creek and turn another mountain peak to see the end.
Based on his speed and the distance of the last stretch, Wang Yan was confident that he would be able to return before noon.
When he came to the side of the stream, Wang Yan put down the heavy stone he was carrying. He's going to be hydrated here, and he's going to rush back to the finish line in one go.
The cool stream water washed away the sweat stains on his face, bringing Wang Yan a sense of comfort. Holding a handful of stream water in both hands, Wang Yan inhaled it in his mouth, but did not swallow it immediately into his stomach. The heat in the body cannot accept such cold stream water, and it must be warmed in the mouth for a while. Anyway, there is still time, there is no need to get along with your stomach.
"Haha, finally waiting for a lonely. That guy who drinks water, if you want to know each other, hurry up and leave your heavy stones, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!" A loud laugh came from the woods next to the stream, and immediately after, more than a dozen people rushed out of the woods one after another, surrounding Wang Yan.
Unable to drink any more water, Wang Yan hurriedly stood up, took a closer look, and found that it was the dozen or so people who carried heavy stones and surpassed him who surrounded him. Those who come are not good, and they must be dealt with carefully.
"Aren't you supposed to have reached the end and completed the test, why are you hiding here, and what are you doing to grab my heavy stone?" Wang Yan didn't understand what was the use of these people grabbing heavy stones, but no matter what, he couldn't hand over the heavy stones that he had worked so hard to bring here.
"Hahaha! You're so stupid! I'm afraid it's only a fool like you who would run back alone with a heavy stone. Speaking of which, we should also be grateful to have a fool like you save zài to help us complete the test. One of the dozen or so people surrounding Wang Yan said with a laugh.
"What do you mean?" Wang Yan had already guessed the purpose of these people at this moment, but he didn't dare to be too sure, there were more than a dozen people on the other side, and he only had a heavy stone, even if these people grabbed it, they couldn't divide it. What's more, there can also be a mark on the heavy stone, how could the immortals of the Imperial Sword Sect let them test it with a heavy stone that belongs to someone else?
"What do you mean? We just need to return on time with the heavy stone and we will be able to pass the guò test. And these heavy stones are all exactly the same, and the Imperial Sword Sect simply makes marks to distinguish them. But so what? We just need to change the markings on the boulders, so that we don't have to carry the boulders to the whole distance, and we can save our lower bodies to cope with the later tests.
You don't even understand this, even if you pass the current test, do you still have the body and energy to face the next test?
If you obey us and obediently hand over the heavy stone, we will think that you will do our best, just knock you out for three or five days, and when you wake up, you can leave quietly. If not, don't blame us for being polite!" The person who spoke had a fierce glint in his eyes, and if Wang Yan did not cooperate, he beckoned the others to do it together.
"Aren't you afraid that the immortals of the Imperial Sword Sect will find out if you do this?" Wang Yan was not frightened and continued to ask questions.
"Hmph! If we were afraid, we wouldn't do it! Okay, stop talking nonsense and procrastination. Will you hand over your heavy stone or not?, and if you hesitate, we will do it!" the man who spoke gave a final warning, and motioned for the others to begin to narrow the area surrounding Wang Yan so that they could carry out the robbery.
