Chapter 292 The answer is about to come out (asking for monthly votes)

The fierce wind at the bottom of the valley crashed between the rugged rock walls.

The sharpened gravel was rolled up and hit Li Zheng and others densely.

Leaving black, bloody, and other marks on their skin.

The wailing sounds like those of slaughtered pigs rose one after another, one after another, as if they were playing a symphony of pain.

The commander was a hard-working player who was called a "beast" by the other reserve cadets.

At this time, the members of the Hardworking Group, who had already shared the damage with their good brothers, looked painful but felt happy inside.

"Brother Li, you're right. I feel like a conductor of a concert. I can make the pitch higher wherever I want. How about playing a piece of music?" Chi Tu said in the team chat channel.

"Beast (x9)."

Li Zheng and the players in the Gan Di group all condemned the idea of ​​eating dirt.

But jokes aside, the damage caused by Shafeng is real. Even if they choose to die themselves, they would not let their brothers take this risk.

They can be reborn in Tezuka Village, but the brothers only have one life.

This kind of continuous damage will not affect the good brothers in the short term, but over time, something bad will happen sooner or later.

This is also the reason why they finally chose to inlay scattered arrows to disperse the damage.

During this time, they were also gulping for air.

White air currents gathered at their mouths, and after being filtered and purified, they turned into pure life energy and spiritual energy and flowed into their bodies.

Then, they are connected by life to provide a guarantee for the safety of their good brothers who are suffering together.

Therefore, what is essentially transmitted is only pain.

At this moment, Li Zheng and the players in the Gan Di Group once again felt the beauty of being a player.

The core of the Shafeng body-building training, in addition to testing their willpower, also requires them to learn how to absorb energy to maintain the functioning of the body in a turbid and thin environment.

It is very difficult to do this.

It is difficult to concentrate when you are in constant pain.

However, if you want to separate pure energy from the turbid and thin air, you need to concentrate fully. If you are not careful, the separated energy will be mixed up again.

But they players are different.

The version of the food that has been at level T0 since the server was launched is simply cheating when used here.

The passive characteristics granted by the air-eating soul to the player are bound to breathing, and every breath can be accompanied by the automatic filtering and gathering effect of the air.

The evil spirit deals a double blow with both physical and mental damage.

The effect of the air-eating property is to restore the state of life and mental strength, perfectly offsetting the lethality brought by the evil spirit.

The most important thing is that the killing power of evil spirit is not strong, otherwise Magic Shield would not set this place as the assessment location.

The recovery effect of eating air is not that strong, but it can suppress the evil spirit.

Therefore, the effect of the air-eating property perfectly offsets the damage caused by the evil spirit, except for the pain.

But in the eyes of Li Zheng and the players in the Hardworking Group, pain is no longer a problem. Now it is borne by the brothers in the training camp, and they have been completely relieved.

But in terms of their physical state, they still had to pretend to be in great pain.

When their brothers wailed, they had to shout a few words along.

If there was a sudden silence, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of my brothers.

If you're going to act, you have to do it fully.

"Ouch! This wicked wind is blowing my bones apart. It hurts so much."

"I felt like my skin was being scraped off. It hurt so much that I couldn't see straight."

"Hiss~hiss~ha~fuck."

……

Although it didn't hurt at all, the players in the liver emperor group still shouted the loudest in the whole venue.

Seeing this, Long Gen's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but roar again, signaling them to stop shouting and to hold it in.

This is also the point that Li Zheng and the players of the Gan Di Group admire most about Long Gen.

Even though the pain he was enduring had increased significantly, Long Gen remained silent. He was truly a tough guy among tough guys.

"Speaking of which... I found something strange." At this moment, Gui Tong raised his head, revealing a painful face with bulging veins on his forehead, and then continued in a hoarse voice:

"I feel... a pure life energy and spiritual energy... constantly pouring into my body. Although the amount is small... I don't know where this energy comes from."

"So you have the same situation. So do I." The student from the Yudu tribe also looked up and asked in confusion.

"So you all felt it. I felt it too." Li Zheng responded decisively, his expression looking extremely confused.

"Me too."

"I have some too."

Players from the Hardworking Group and other students responded one after another, saying that the phenomenon had also occurred to them.

But no one knows the answer to this question.

How could the brothers in the training camp understand the power of rules? They couldn't even analyze the path of energy flow.

As time went by, Li Zheng and his brothers in the Gan Di Group began to watch TV series on the forum to kill time.

The shouts became more and more perfunctory. Occasionally, the attention was attracted by a post on the forum, and the wailing suddenly turned into laughter.

For example, while Chi Tu was browsing the forum, he also visited Explorer's live broadcast room.

Seeing the explorer lying in the bushes in a very wretched manner after encountering a group of monsters, and the mocking comments in the comments, I couldn't help but sneer out loud.

The sudden laughter instantly attracted the attention of other students.

Realizing that something was wrong, Chi Tu decisively played dumb, acting like he was no longer normal, with a dazed look in his eyes.

This made the other students extremely worried, fearing that the evil wind had eroded their spiritual consciousness and caused them to become confused.

"Is it okay to eat dirt?" Guitong asked with a worried look.

"It's okay, he won't die. This is a unique ability of my family. It allows us to enter a state of mental protection by closing part of our consciousness." Li Zheng cursed in the team chat channel, and then gave Guitong an answer.

"Then why don't you use it?" The student from the Yudu tribe on the other side asked with a confused look.

"We haven't reached our limit yet. There's no need. There are side effects. If you use it too much, you'll become stupid."

After making it clear that eating dirt was not a big deal, the other students continued to focus their attention on themselves, trying to capture the pure energy particles floating free in the evil wind.

Although there is the blessing of mysterious energy, screening energy is already one of the items in the assessment.

They don't know how long the mysterious energy will last, and their current efforts are to reserve energy for survival in the days to come.

Li Zheng and the players in the Gan Di group were also busy.

Watching live broadcasts, browsing forums, checking out prices on the trading floor... Apart from being unable to move and feeling hungry, life was even more comfortable than in the training camp.

There are special training programs every day in the training camp. The process is arduous and exhausting both physically and mentally.

But here, it's like a vacation.

Occasionally, I would look up at my good brothers who were suffering, and cheer them up in my heart.

It is said that the "Evil Spirit Body Forging" trial is one of the training programs with the highest probability of death.

But this time, with the players using the food energy to escort them, they can ensure that none of the brothers will die and they can all return to the camp safely.

The price is that the brothers will endure more pain than previous students.

As day and night alternate, in the valley shrouded in black fog, one can only barely tell the passage of time by a thin ray of light that occasionally lights up above one's head.

On this day, the evil wind suddenly weakened.

The brothers in the training camp, who had been enduring for several days without communicating with each other, finally opened their eyes.

"Hahaha, the good days are finally here." A student from the Four-Eyed Clan said in surprise.

"What a pity. I was hoping to improve the intensity in the next few days. It's boring." Long Gen said with a look of regret after looking around his gradually clearing vision.

Hearing these extremely pretentious words, Li Zheng and other students all gave him the middle finger.

When it comes to beasts, the best is the dragon root.

No matter what you think in your heart, you always demand a higher level of difficulty on the surface, even if you cannot bear this level of difficulty at all.

After the evil wind subsided, the atmosphere became lively and the students relieved their stress through communication.

Under normal circumstances, this is a good time to gain life energy.

But every student has abundant life energy in their body, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

The topic unknowingly turned to the front battlefield.

For Li Zheng and the players of the Gan Di Group, the battlefield has always been a heavy topic.

Before he left, the God of Wealth said that 800 million anti-tide warriors died every day, and this was just the regular casualty data.

If a full-scale war breaks out, the death toll will increase several times or even dozens of times.

The trainees trained by the Against Tide Corps may not survive even a single day on the front lines.

They felt extremely depressed when they thought that these brothers who had been together day and night would all go to the cruel battlefield.

As players, they have unlimited tolerance for error.

But brothers only have one life.

Even as players, they are not omnipotent. They have no ability to change the fate of Tongzi and the others. All they can do is accompany them.

But the other students felt completely the opposite.

When Hitomi talked about the battlefield with other students, her eyes were shining with anticipation.

After more contact, Li Zheng already understood what attitude these brothers had towards going to the battlefield.

In the minds of these foreign students, the value of their own lives has long been integrated with the glory of their ethnic group.

As the elite new generation selected from the ethnic group, you have to fight for the glory of the ethnic group.

So they are eager to step onto the battlefield, not because they are not afraid, but because they firmly believe that only in the tempering of blood and fire can they make their existence shine with the most dazzling light, until their souls return to the tide and bring glory to their tribe.

This is a responsibility that has been instilled in them for as long as they can remember.

Every drop of blood shed in the Against the Tide Training Camp is to temper oneself into a weapon of war.

Even every breath in the training camp is a preparation for going to the battlefield. Death is not an empty unknown to them, but a destination and the most heroic way of burning life.

When they talked about the battlefield, there was no haze in their eyes, only a blazing light.

There is also the calmness of not caring about life and death.

This is fate, and it is also the biggest difference between them, the players, and other students.

In the eyes of these players, the battlefield is purgatory and a death meat grinder.

But in the eyes of other students, the battlefield is the starting point of their glory.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not being able to let the flag of their tribe fly on the battlefield for a longer time.

The moment they step onto the battlefield, they will also fulfill their innate mission to fight against the tide until the end of their lives.

This is also the whole meaning of their existence.

And they, the players, can only watch all this in silence.

There is nothing we can do to change the fate of these warriors, nor can we understand why they can embrace destruction so calmly.

Li Zheng once wondered if these brothers had been brainwashed.

But after a long time of contact, he knew very well that these brothers were always sober.

He once had a conversation with Guitong about the battlefield.

Try to convince them with their Earthling logic, telling them that life should not burn out so easily.

Ghost pupil's counter-question is:

"Then tell me, what is the meaningful life? Is it to find a place to live in misery? Do you think this is meaningful?"

Li Zheng's answer to him was: "You can experience a new life instead of living for war and start a new chapter in your life."

Hearing this, Gui Tong laughed happily, as if he had heard a very funny joke:
"You always say that life is precious, but what exactly do you mean by precious? Is it just the length of time you live?"

At that time, he opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he saw Guitong raised his wrist covered with training scars and smiled:

"Remember the snow sturgeons outside the first Snow Valley training camp? They spent their entire lives swimming upstream, and even if their scales were peeled off, they would still jump over the snow waterfall. Do you think they are stupid?" At this point, Ghost Eye's eyes changed: "And the sound of the tide that is older than the snow sturgeons flows in our blood. This is a path we are destined to take. We would rather die than turn back. This is also the meaning of the word "against the tide."

"You pity us for living for war, but you don't see why we fight. Without the protection of the Against Tide Legion, my people will be food in the monster world. Imagine when your descendants are devoured by foreign predators, when your people are refined into nutrients by foreign races, then you will understand that sometimes survival is more like destruction than death. We fight for Against Tide, and we are also fighting for the continuation of our people. The idea of ​​living for ourselves... is too selfish."

After this conversation, Li Zheng fell silent.

The starting point for players to consider issues is themselves, but the starting point for the Counter-Tide Warriors is the tribe and the future.

Every group is trying their best to survive.

The reserve soldiers in the Counter Tide Training Camp are not tamed weapons of war, they are more like martyrs.

Temper yourself into a blade in the training camp, then use your flesh and blood as fuel on the battlefield to carve out a path for the future in the torrent of destruction.

This future not only includes ourselves, but also our clansmen, relatives, and future generations.

This is also the calm choice made by a warrior against the tide after seeing through the essence of fate.

He seemed childish to use his own point of view to persuade Guitong.

This conversation also made Li Zheng change his mind.

All they can do is to accompany these good brothers and protect them on the battlefield to the best of their ability until the end of their lives.

Listening to them talking about the front battlefield, Li Zheng and the players from the Hardcore Group did not respond. This topic made them feel very heavy.

There is not much time left before going to the battlefield.

Time passed by in the chat.

After the alternation of day and night, the intensity of the evil wind began to gradually increase.

The pig-slaughtering howling sounded again.

This time the evil wind seemed a little unusual. Its intensity did not stabilize after a brief climb, but gradually increased over time.

Even the dragon root with maximum tolerance attribute let out a low roar.

Li Zheng, who sensed something was wrong, decisively spoke in the team voice channel:

"Brothers, cut off the life connection. The power of the evil wind is now higher than the air-eating property. If we continue to transmit it, something bad will happen."

After hearing Li Zheng's cry, the players in the Hardcore Group disconnected without hesitation.

They can play around, but they won't joke with their brothers' lives.

The moment the life connection was severed, a terrible scream instantly rang out, attracting the attention of the other students.

I don't understand what's wrong with these beastly playing family.

But their attention soon turned inward.

The intensity of this evil wind is far greater than before.

Gradually, Shafeng began to change shape.

It was no longer a simple surge of air, but rather like millions of invisible blades rubbing against each other.

Wind patterns interwoven with light blue and light black appeared in the air, and black scratches appeared on the cliff walls wherever the wind passed.

The chains that bound them also made a creaking sound in the fierce wind.

Half an hour later, the evil wind erupted completely and turned into a tangible muddy current, carrying with it a biting cold and sharp edge, cutting through their bodies intensively.

The wind pressure tore spider-web-like cracks on the cliff wall, and the rubble was swept into the air and instantly crushed into powder.

Fine blood lines appeared on Li Zheng and other students' bodies, and blood beads were blown away by the wind along the cracks in the wounds.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air, making it difficult to open your eyes.

When the wind reached its peak, the entire area was shrouded in a blue-black wind curtain vortex.

The ground also began to tremble rhythmically, as if something underground was gradually waking up.

The wailing sounds all around him became more and more shrill. Li Zheng felt that every breath was like swallowing millions of red-hot nails, and the burning pain spread from his throat all the way to his lungs.

"Hold on!" Long Gen's roar rang out in the wind, and then he opened his eyes suddenly.

Realizing that Sha Feng was out of control, he released his Qi and blood, weaving them into a shield that enveloped all the students.

The price of doing so was the rapid consumption of Qi and blood. Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, but he still straightened his back and said with a ferocious look:

"Wake up, everyone. We agreed to go to the battlefield together. You must not fall here."

But soon, Long Gen's expression became weak at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood oozed from all his orifices.

"Let me do it!" Guitong said in a deep voice at this time, and then he let the qi and blood out of his body and weaved them into a shield. At the same time, he used his mental power to slap Long Gen on the chest, interrupting the release of Long Gen's qi and blood.

After more than ten minutes, Guitong's expression began to become listless and his face turned pale.

The Qi and blood in the body are less than one third now. If this continues, he will fall into a near-death state of unconsciousness and coma.

"I'll do it." As soon as the leader of the Yudu tribe finished speaking, he released his qi and blood.

In the next two days, they alternately weaved qi and blood shields to resist the evil wind that was still getting stronger.

But without external energy replenishment, most students have reached their limits.

If this continues, all the students will die here.

This is the cruelest part of the Against the Tide Training Camp. Just like the random delivery test in the graduation assessment, luck is also a key factor in survival.

The chance of Sha Fengbao escaping was very low, but they encountered it nonetheless.

Seeing one brother after another falling into a state of exhaustion due to blood and qi depletion, Li Zheng and the players of the Gan Di Group were extremely anxious.

"Damn it, if this evil wind doesn't stop, all of us brothers will die here." Chi Tu said angrily in the team voice channel.

"No, let the brothers in Dizhong Village buy some positioning teleporters and take all the brothers back to Dizhong Mountains. I won't allow them to die here." Family Sharing gave an idea at this time.

After hearing this, Li Zheng also had an idea:

"Don't panic. There's no need to use positioning transmission. We won't be able to explain to Elder You and the others when the time comes. What we lack now is a recovery channel. There are plenty of them in the mall. If it doesn't work, just use them."

"Brother Li, I'll listen to you." Sha Xin nodded immediately.

As time passed, the intensity of the evil wind remained stable, but there was no sign of weakening and it was still howling violently.

The relay of the Qi and Blood Shield was still going on, and soon it reached the Liver Emperor Group.

They did not hesitate and took the call decisively.

But compared to the shields woven with qi and blood by other students, the player has a soul blood shield, which has higher defense strength but lower consumption.

Secondly, eating soil releases a light shield, which does not require the consumption of qi, blood or energy at all.

They persisted much longer than other students.

But there was still no sign of the evil wind stopping.

Facing a desperate situation, Li Zheng, who was creating a blood shield to resist the evil wind, turned his head to look at the already depressed Ghost Eye:
"Tongzi, my blood shield can last four times longer than yours. Isn't that amazing?"

The ghost pupil glanced at him:
"If the evil wind doesn't stop, we will all die here without external energy replenishment. How can you still have the mind to ask me this?"

"You all have to die. There is a high probability that our Wan family can be resurrected. How can they really die?"

Ghost Eyes:......

Other students: ...

"Beast! (x130)"

Soon, Li Zheng's energy was exhausted and he had to eat dirt to make up for it.

Faced with the evil wind that has not yet stopped, students of all races have already prepared to face death.

In their eyes, when the energy of the students of the Wan family is exhausted, they will then face the ravages of the evil wind.

In their current state, it is impossible for them to withstand the attack of the evil wind.

At this moment, Gui Tong pulled off the necklace from her neck and turned to look at Li Zhengdao:
"Bricklayer, when you die, you can take all the belongings with you. I'll give you this necklace. Please send it back to the tribe for me."

"How about giving it to me?"

"I'm giving it to you, sir. This is a token of my clan. How can I give it to you?" Guitong cursed with a smile, and then he began to cough violently, and then threw the necklace over.

Li Zheng took the necklace and looked down. He didn't expect that the necklace that Guitong had always refused to give him would end up in his hands in this way.

Although he was envious, he understood the importance of this thing to Guitong.

It can be seen that Guitong is really prepared to face death.

Seeing that the evil wind had not shown any signs of weakening, Li Zheng turned his head and looked at the other students:
"Is there any brother who needs to pass on a will or has any last wishes? As brothers, I will do it for you."

Hearing Li Zheng's beastly remarks, the other students started to laugh and curse.

But this behavior also relieves the stress of facing death.

At this time, a student from the Guifeng tribe took out a red gem from his arm guard and threw it towards Li Zheng:
"Bricklayer, please take this gem back to the tribe and give it to my sister. Tell her that her brother has failed. She will take over from me and enter the training camp. We will have to walk the same path again... I have let her down."

When saying this, the students of the Ghost Wind Clan could not hide the bitterness in their eyes.

Li Zheng can fully understand this.

To these cadets, dying on the battlefield or dying in a training camp means honor or shame respectively.

Seeing that other students were thinking of leaving last words, Li Zheng immediately decided not to hide it.

Even though if I did this, I would definitely be beaten by my brothers when I return.

At this time, he threw the gem back to the student of the Ghost Wind Clan and turned to look at Ghost Eye:
"Tongzi, I have something for you too."

After saying that, Li Zheng took out a bottle of special recovery potion from his space bag and threw it towards Guitong.

Seeing Li Zheng suddenly produce a bottle of potion, Gui Tong's eyes widened, but he still reached out to catch the potion, and then said in disbelief:
"Where did you come from, kid?"

Feeling the pure life energy emanating from the medicine bottle, Guitong was filled with confusion.

This assessment requires that students cannot carry any items other than tribal tokens, including various potions and ointments used to replenish physical strength.

The instructor had a detailed physical examination before coming.

But I didn't expect that the brick-carrying boy was so bold that he dared to hide it.

Most importantly, how did he manage to avoid the instructor's inspection?

At this moment, a scene that made Guitong and other students feel unbelievable happened.

The students of the Wan Family conjured up bottles of pure life force potions out of thin air and threw them at them wholesale:
The students who took the potion were all stunned and unable to understand.

But then Li heard:

"Don't look at me, drink instead. Do you really want to die here?"

As he spoke, Li Zheng took out a steaming spiritual meal from his space bag, opened the lid in front of the stunned expressions of the students, lowered his head and took a sip:
"fragrant!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of charcoal-grilled tenderloin that exuded a rich meaty aroma.

The surface of the meat was glowing golden and oily, with a few grains of crystal sea salt clinging to the crispy outer skin. As he moved, the fat slowly slid down the texture. For the alien students who had not eaten for several days, this scene was full of temptation and visual impact.

Gum!

Swallowing sounds were heard one after another.

I saw Li stuffing the piece of meat into his mouth, and the moment his teeth bit through the crispy skin, there was a crisp "crunch" sound.

Seeing Li Zheng's behavior, the other students suddenly lost their composure.

Especially the ghost pupil.

Memories from a year and a half ago suddenly flooded back to his mind, and he thought of the many difficult experiences from the first and second training camps.

The starting point of the memory was the cafeteria battle that left a deep impression on the Wan family for the first time.

It was this contact, and the subsequent torture brought by the Wan family, that made them completely admire the Wan family.

But there was a problem that troubled him for a long time.

Why are the beasts of the Wan family so able to withstand hunger?
