Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 236: Whirlpool
"He? I dare not say that he is stronger than those children who cut their eyebrows, but I will never think that his strength is really as good as the ninth level on the surface. Someone said that he is hiding his strength. Now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed true. I think this sharp blade has been sharpened for quite some time. Now it should be considered as the sword-testing stage. I just don't know whether it will shock the world and how wide the scope of shock will be when this sharp blade is unsheathed." Although he is very accurate in judging people and can see that the foreign youth is a patient and persevering person, and may achieve great success in the future, he can't see his true strength, so he dare not make a random judgment.
Ten years to sharpen a sword, frost and cold have never been tested. A long-honed sword, until the day it is really unsheathed, no one will know how sharp it is.
"That's right, I think that Xia Ya kid will not let some mediocre people participate in such a big competition." Hearing this, the second brother nodded.
"Brother, although this kid is not ordinary, Char shouldn't let an outsider compete with his own people for jobs, right? Although this quota is not particularly important, it can also save the children a few years. When I asked him the reason, his answer was vague, but his attitude was very firm. What's going on?" The short old man was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't ask so many questions. Even I don't know the specific reason. But this matter is not just Xia Ya who nodded and agreed. You just need to understand this point." Hearing this, the tall old man said meaningfully.
"This..." Hearing this, the short old man frowned slightly.
"Don't say it. The good show is about to begin. Let's see those guys make a fool of themselves. They have no patience at all and still want to win the final victory. It's just a foolish dream." The tall old man waved his hand, indicating to end this discussion.
Hearing this, the three people behind him who were full of questions had to shut up and shift their sights to the image in the air.
The moonless night seemed particularly dim, and the wind and sand were still raging, but Han Xun had obviously gotten used to this harsh environment. He even looked a little comfortable, giving people the feeling that he enjoyed the freedom and insignificance brought by the emptiness, making people feel insignificant but happy at the same time, a very ethereal feeling, even the heart of the person would be cleansed.
Although Han Xun could already adjust the body temperature by himself with his current strength, the stuffiness that penetrated into the bones during the day still made Han Xun very uncomfortable. Even he was not completely immune to such a temperature. But in the middle of the night, it was chilly, and the same chill that penetrated into the bone marrow made Han Xun very uncomfortable with the alternating cold and hot feeling.
His shoes were already filled with sand, and the feeling of being oppressed all the time made Han Xun feel very uncomfortable. He simply took off his boots and ran wild in the desert barefoot.
With a comfortable face and bare feet, he walked alone in the desert, looking quite like an ascetic.
Four days, this is not a long time, but if Han Xun thought that he would walk foolishly in this place for four days, he felt it was unrealistic. So he was almost certain that something would happen in the near future.
By the early morning, the temperature was getting lower and lower. In such a low-temperature environment, ordinary people would probably be forced to leave after a short stay. Perhaps those who came here were not ordinary people. As long as the human body was not directly frozen, they could bear it.
In this dim night, Han Xun could only barely see the sand rushing in the wind, and he walked tirelessly.
Suddenly at a certain moment, the wind stopped, and the sand that had been rampant with the help of the wind fell into the sand layer in large pieces like a crow with broken wings, and in a short moment, the sand surface was thickened by several centimeters.
Without the obstruction of wind and sand, the sky seemed to be brighter. Suddenly, there was no whistling wind in his ears. Han Xun was a little uncomfortable. He lifted his feet covered with yellow sand and continued to walk aimlessly.
The yellow sand that had been spread on the ground for who knows how long had been flowing slowly and regularly, but at the moment when the wind stopped, these sand grains launched an attack in an instant, a silent but terrifying attack.
It happened suddenly!
The swirling adsorption, like a huge hourglass with an opening, the yellow sand of the entire land was collapsing downward in a rapid and regular manner, and even wanted to absorb Han Xun's entire body. If Han Xun had not been highly vigilant, he might have been absorbed at this moment!
Feeling the huge suction force under his feet, Han Xun was alert to Dasheng at the first time, stepped down lightly with both feet, and jumped ten meters with the help of the slight rebound force, leaving this dry swamp vortex.
After landing, Han Xun looked back at the piece of sand that had slowly stopped flowing with lingering fear, feeling a little frightened.
Destroy with withered and decayed! Swallow mountains and rivers!
This word suddenly popped up in Han Xun's mind.
From the time he felt something was wrong to the time he reacted and jumped away from the sand and finally to the time when the sand vortex stopped adsorbing, the whole process took no more than three seconds.
It is not difficult to imagine that if he reacted a little slower, not too much, as long as his feet were immersed in the sand for 20 centimeters, he would have no chance to escape! In other words, if he reacted a second slower, he might have been eliminated!
It looks very ordinary, but it is actually very thrilling.
Its thrill is not in the loss of life, but in the elimination. Han Xun is now like a hungry wolf. He is unwilling to miss any opportunity to improve his strength. If he loses to himself in the first round, it is no different from killing him for Han Xun.
Han Xun walked carefully on the way afterwards. It was extremely dangerous. There was a sand whirlpool almost every few steps, and there was no sign in advance. He could only stay alert all the time. He was very tired. He jumped up and down like a monkey playing. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the days of jumping and running in the Tianluo Mountains in his youth.
I don’t know how long it took, but everything seemed to have returned to normal. Anyway, there had been no abnormalities for a long time. Han Xun relaxed his tense nerves a little.
"It’s insidious to attack a person in a time period when he is most likely to be negligent and least focused." After calming down, Han Xun grinned.
He naturally thought that this was a plot pre-set by the Kailaqi family. Fortunately, he had never let down his guard. If he had been sitting there quietly, there is no doubt that he would have been sucked into the ground by the quicksand at this moment, and he would have been forced out in the end.
"A person’s biggest enemy is still himself." Thinking of this, Han Xun was a little emotional.
Perhaps many people know that sitting still is a dead end, but they can't resist the temptation of comfort, loneliness and boredom, and a little bit of luck, so many people finally choose the most convenient "wait and see".
"I guess a lot of people have fallen?" Han Xun can almost imagine their helpless and angry faces.
Not losing to the enemy, but losing to themselves. They were full of confidence and wanted to show their skills, but they were eliminated without using their strength. It would be strange if they didn't hold back their anger.
The sand vortex was not only in Han Xun's area, but the whole desert was playing the same plot. Those children who were originally sitting on the ground. Luckily, the vortex did not directly occur in their land, and they noticed the problem in advance, so they reacted and escaped by luck. But most of them were directly sucked into the vortex, and were helplessly sent out of the barrier before they could make any reaction.
As for people like Cut Eyebrow Mu Qing, they have good strength, and they have been careful all the time, so they naturally passed the first level without any danger.
On the first night alone, there were no less than 20 people who were eliminated. Those who stayed behind were either those with delicate personalities or those who were a little lucky.
However, luck is also a kind of strength, and sometimes we have to admit that luck is much more important than strength.
Although it is late at night, there are still a lot of people in Wanxiang Forest, even more than at night, because there are more than 20 new forces now.
"What's going on? I was eliminated with 100% of my strength?" After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, some people who didn't know the reason began to complain.
"That's right, I just entered the state of meditation not long ago, how come I was suddenly sucked into the ground? I came out with a black head? What's going on?" Even in front of these family elders, these people who were extremely unhappy dared to agree in a low voice. They were dizzy now, and a series of questions came out of their mouths.
"Why are we the only ones out? Where are the others? Where is the big brother from Jinshang?" Some sharp-eyed guys noticed something was wrong.
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that these people are unwilling to admit their failure. Looking at this group of confused guys, the tall old man was a little angry and a little helpless.
"If you are eliminated, you are eliminated. Think about the reason yourself. There are not so many people to guide you in real battles. This failure is just a lesson. In an unfamiliar place, it is a basic requirement for a warrior to be vigilant all the time. If you can't even do this, it's not a pity even if you die. This is just a test, you still have a chance to survive, but if you are caught in a whirlpool in the sand in actual combat, you will never be able to turn over." The tall old man looked at their complaints and doubts coldly, and shouted angrily after a while, like thunder from the ground.
Seeing the old man angry, everyone was silent. They were not fools. After the old man said this, they naturally knew that the reason was on themselves. At the moment, they could only hang their heads in shame while regretting.
"Okay, go back and think carefully, don't be in a daze here, you should be thankful that you can still survive every time you fail, that is the most powerful guarantee for you to become a strong man." Seeing the way his elder brother communicated with the younger generation, the short old man shook his head helplessly, and had to come out to be a good person with a kind face.
Hearing this, everyone hurried away. The old man's terrifying aura made them feel difficult to breathe, and with guilt in their hearts, they didn't want to stay for a moment.
"This old guy is definitely the most powerful one I have ever seen." Looking at the old man who was as turbulent as a river when he was angry, Tong Ying shuddered unconsciously.
"Hehe, it turns out that my brother is still powerful and hasn't been eliminated yet." Looking at those dusty guys, Ling'er smiled triumphantly, outlining a pair of beautiful dimples.
