Arad's Sword

Chapter 306 The Path of the Soul
The entrance of the steps of the mind labyrinth belonged to the judges, the elite of the patrol team and the executive team, plus Midi and his party, a total of 20 people lined up.

The "Judger" Marcel and others who had just performed the secret method, while recovering their magic power, let their eyes fall on these young elites with bloody essence, and there was a bit of anticipation in their eyes.

At this moment, with Midi's keenness, he naturally faintly noticed that the adventure in the maze of the mind was actually secretly mixed with the extension and wrestling of different factions within the bloody purification.

Just like the Falcon Group, the scale is now huge. Apart from the "Iron Triangle" that transcends the top, the other sub-groups and sub-camps are also full of various competitions and contests.

After all, compared to resources, there are always too many people.

And trials like this in a space that has been opened up alone are even more opportunities and dangers.

Midi will not naively think that in this space where the outside world cannot pry, other people will be polite to his team. On the contrary, for these young cutting-edges, they will not consider strategic issues such as allies at all. , and will only do whatever it takes for their own personal benefit.

Presumably it will be a melee?

Midi thought secretly in her heart, and nodded to the other three.

Soon, the white light at the entrance of the maze of mind gradually stabilized, forming a huge vortex.

"The entrance has been stabilized. After entering 20 people, the gate will automatically close and the trial will begin." Judge Marcel glanced at everyone present and said in a loud and deep voice, "I sincerely wish everyone , can successfully pass the spiritual trial, become the top memory catcher, and then stand side by side with us to defeat the evil sect headquarters!"

"Yes!" The neat answer sounded.

Accompanied by this sound, one trialer after another strode forward, passed through the passage opened in the black mist, and entered the ancient gate opened in the maze of the mind one by one.

At the moment when she passed through the white light, Midi felt a sense of dizziness spread all over her body.

This shows that what he passed was not a real "gate", but a teleportation circle.

Obviously, the real location of the Mind Labyrinth is not the back side of the Blood Prison Island Temple, and there may be a huge difference in terms of area.

After making this judgment, Midi's eyes blurred, and she has already entered a strange space.

The 20 people were not teleported separately, but all gathered together.

And in this space, there is nothing else, only a wide road with no end in sight.

The entire road is paved with azure blue water bricks that symbolize the soul, which is very luxurious.

But on both sides of this avenue, there is an abyss canyon where the bottom cannot be seen at a glance. In the abyss, there is a strong wind like a sharp knife roaring.

Midi estimated it through the fluctuation of magic power. Even if he used his sword light body protection with all his strength, he would never be able to support it for a long time in this strong wind, not to mention the defensive skills of ordinary professionals.

Moreover, this strong wind reminded him vaguely of the insurmountable barrier between the "bottom" of the sea of ​​clouds in the sky and the "zenith" of the continent of Arad.

Obviously, this abyss is extremely dangerous.

Just as everyone was looking around to get acquainted with the situation, suddenly a bright spot appeared out of thin air, and then turned into twenty transparent fluorescent lights, which melted into everyone's bodies with a "swish".

In the dark space, some bright spots appeared and turned into ten transparent ancient green tokens,
At the same time, an extremely ancient and distant voice sounded in everyone's minds.

"Welcome to the labyrinth of the mind, try your best to pass the trial, the mind crystal I bestowed on you will calculate your results in the trial. The rules of the trial, the longer you persist, the better your results; what you can achieve The area and the performance on the way will all affect the trial results. The trial results will determine the final reward."

This distant and ancient voice narrated without any emotion.

However, everyone was not overwhelmed by the voice. Before entering, everyone already knew the basic situation.

"Now, the trial begins."

The ancient voice disappeared after saying the last sentence.

Without any explanation or explanation, the trial had already begun without a sound.

However, based on previous information, Midi knew that the only way for this first trial, called "Spiritual Path", was to move forward until reaching the exit.

But the problem is that in each trial, the length of this spiritual path is different, and the obstacles that will appear on the way are also completely different. The only common rule is that you must "complete" this spiritual path , can be regarded as victory, and everything else is unknown.

For the unknown, people will always feel fear and anxiety. To some extent, not explaining the rules themselves is a kind of psychological test.

"Then, first of all, let's judge whether this road should go forward or backward." Midi glanced at the spiritual road with no end in sight on both sides, showing a cautious expression.

It is an extremely important common sense in the adventure not to be misled by the mindset.

What's more, in this maze of the mind, I am afraid that there will be countless organs that make people fall into the Tao unconsciously.

But this first question raised by Midi was immediately answered.

Because a piece of extremely high-temperature azure blue flame suddenly blazed from the darkness behind the road, and began to rush towards the testers like a sea wave!

"run!"

Without any order, the twenty testers started to move immediately, and ran forward in one mind.

And this wave of blue fire kept pushing forward like this, constantly devouring the path of the soul into the flames, without even a single residue left.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Time passed continuously, and although the testers were all running, they gradually distinguished the difference.

Everyone is no longer gathered together, but divided into four small groups according to different factions.

And due to the differences in levels, occupational skills, and other factors, the distance between these small groups has gradually widened.

Located in the first echelon, the team running at the forefront is naturally the team of the strongest Shandur. They accelerated all the way, and they have already left behind people by several kilometers, and they can't even see them.

After that, it was Rot and his partners from the patrol faction. They were usually very good at long-distance raids, and they followed Sandur all the way, even a little bit of confrontation in it.

The execution team, which focuses on frontal battles, is obviously not very good at traveling long distances. It will rush to the front for a while, lose its explosive speed for a while, and then fall behind, which is very unstable.The man with the scar leading the team just moved forward in silence, without saying a word.

As for Midi's team, they fell behind.

But the characteristic of Midi's team is that their speed is very stable.

From the very beginning of running to the present, the forward speed of the four people has hardly changed at all, it is as precise as the best quartz clocks, and they always maintain a constant distance from the blue flame behind them.

Not only that, but in the process of advancing at a constant speed, the mana consumption of each team member was reduced to the lowest level, which was almost the same as the mana recovery speed, reaching a rare balance.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there are no accidents or other tests, Midi and others can continue to run for at least a week, during which they can even stop eating or drinking, rest or sleep, relying solely on alchemy potions for support .

The reason for adopting this strategy is that Midi has seen it from the very beginning. This time, the "trial" of the spiritual path is definitely not a consideration of force, nor is it a consideration of speed, but a consideration of perseverance and patience !

Needless to say, consider force, just set a group of enemies directly.

If speed is considered, the extremely hot blue sea of ​​flames behind should definitely not be advancing at this speed.

There is no end-to-end road, no space to hide, and flames that are constantly advancing. In this environment, the only thing to consider is the dual endurance of body and spirit.

And just as Midi thought, after running for a full eight hours, this spiritual road still has no end in sight.

By this time, those testers who had rushed to the front like showing off, had been caught up by Midi and the others one by one and overtook them.On the contrary, as the speed increased, the inertia formed by Midi and the others made them gradually distance themselves from the blue fire wave. After eight hours, it had accumulated to a considerable extent.

To put it simply, it is more than enough for Midi and the others to stop for a meal before continuing on their way.

On the other hand, those who were at the forefront had almost exhausted their magic power and used all kinds of skills. Now they are just suffering.

Many who couldn't stand their temper even took out the magic potion directly from the package and drank it in one gulp, just hoping to pass the endurance level in front of them.

However, this also means that in future trials, their supplies have been reduced.

Time continued to fly, and the testers continued to run.

In one day, a full 24 hours have passed.

At this stage, no one is going to try any more. As for the idea of ​​showing off and competing for who is stronger, it has already completely disappeared.

Now, all the testers are following Midi, marching in the same way as Midi.

After going through a lot of trouble, they finally discovered that Midi's unhurried way of moving forward is the most labor-saving, stable and safest way.

It's a pity that at this moment their packages have lost a lot of supplies, and the magic power in their bodies has been consumed a lot. How can they be as comfortable as Midi and others who have been running at a constant speed from the beginning?

Only the top-ranked members of each team were able to hold on with their expressions unchanged.

But even so, they still couldn't hide the exhaustion from running all day and night.

"How long do you think you will run?" Avril came over and asked beside Midi.

"Probably need to run for another day." Midi replied calmly, and then glanced at the front, "Because there seems to be a change ahead. According to the general form of inheritance trials, the change probably means that the journey is over halfway."

Looking in the direction of Midi's gaze, Avril suddenly saw such a scene - on the opposite side of the abyss canyon, there was a cozy camp with a bonfire!
