Arad's Sword

Chapter 307 The Temptation of the Other Shore
Against the background of the dim fire, the whole camp gave people a feeling of warmth.

Not only that, but in the big pot in the center of the camp, there is a lot of boiled and fat meat cooked, and a lot of wild vegetables and seasonings are added to it. Even if it is nearly a hundred meters away, the fragrant meat smell, It still drifted to the spiritual path, causing most of the testers to involuntarily take several deep breaths, and even swallowed their saliva regardless of the image.

Not only that, but on the other side of the bonfire, the soft bedding and thick sleeping bags that have been laid out made the eyes of these testers emit a dark green light, as if they were wolves who saw their prey. .

They ran for a whole day without eating, drinking, or resting, just relying on magic power and alchemy potions to persevere.

Even Midi and the others, who have maintained a balance from the beginning, have fallen from their best condition, let alone those other trialists who have been tossing back and forth for a long time?
Fragrant food, soft blankets, right now, these are the most attractive things to them.

However, since this thing appeared strangely in the maze of the mind, it is naturally impossible to take it seriously.What's more, between this tempting camp and the spiritual road, there is an abyss canyon nearly [-] meters wide, and the howling wind in it reminds everyone that this is definitely not an area that can be easily touched.

No one lost their minds.

After all, they were the elite selected from the bloody purification, gritted their teeth, and ran past the camp.

And Midi, who took the lead, didn't even glance at the camp, and stared straight ahead.

"Nothing happened." Wiseman glanced behind him and said with a little regret.

But as soon as the necromancer uttered these words, Midi showed a mocking smile, and said, "This is just the beginning."

Since it is the path of the soul, how can there be only one experience of the soul, how can it be only as good as food and pillows?
As a senior adventurer, Midi can almost be sure that the good show has just begun.

Soon, more and more temptations began to appear on both sides of the spiritual path.

Simple meat, upgraded to exquisite steak, and then changed to a full table of delicacies from mountains and seas with mellow fine wine.

The simple camp and bedding became a luxurious room, and it was even equipped with a luxurious bed that even the prince Reinhardt was speechless.

In the future, what will appear is not these things that simply satisfy the desire of the body, but go further.

For example, various inheritance skills placed in the magic sealing box, or rare alchemy potions that can quickly increase the level and magic power capacity, and even treasures such as dragon blood are presented.

The temptations are becoming more and more numerous, and the degree is escalating.

Finally, someone stopped.

It was a young man in the patrol team. He looked at the bottle of life-reviving potion across the abyss, as if there were nails growing on his feet, and he couldn't move at all.

"As long as I have that bottle of Su Sheng Potion, my paralyzed sister can stand up, and even practice all the way to become a professional!" The young man stared at the opposite side with red eyes, whispering to himself .

Then, before his companions stepped forward to dissuade him, he made a vertical leap and jumped directly to the other side of the spiritual path!

Countless streams of milky white air surrounded his body, like a storm, lifting the young man and sending him a hundred meters away.

The skill of a qigong master, the breath of the wind, surrounded by thoughts.

This young man is obviously very proficient in the use of skills, and has reached the level of compound skills.If it is placed in a normal environment, it is not a problem to jump over a hundred meters.

However, this is a labyrinth of the mind, a place full of dangerous trials.

Before he jumped 30 meters away, a gust of black wind pounced on him like a bloodthirsty beast, biting non-stop.Amidst the unpleasant sound of metal rubbing, the mental energy in the young qigong master's body was immediately worn away layer by layer, and because of this, his flying speed became slower and slower.

Finally, when he flew to a distance of 50 meters, his thoughts were finally completely exhausted.

Without the support of his skills, the young man immediately fell from the sky like a weight, and was finally swallowed by the bottomless darkness.His screams dragged out long syllables in mid-air, engraved in everyone's heart, and it was difficult to erase.

This is the No.1 victim of this trial.

"That guy is too greedy." Reinhardt sighed.

Midi shook her head.

Obviously, this is by no means caused by pure greed.

The temptations on both sides seem to have a certain corrosive and wearing effect on the rationality of the tester. As time goes by, the later the person's rationality becomes less, the easier it is to be tempted. Coupled with the increasing fatigue, That's why this kind of suicide happens.

Moreover, faintly, Midi also felt that this trial of the spiritual path seemed to be more than that.

For example, why did it appear that there was a bottle of Su Sheng Potion?
Having no time to commemorate the dead, Rott of the patrol team let out a sad roar, gritted his teeth, and continued to run.

As for Midi, he has never heard of it from the beginning to the end, and still keeps moving forward at a constant speed, as if nothing in this world can impress him.And with Midi, the leader with iron will, Avril Lavigne, Reinhardt and Wiseman were hardly affected by the temptations on both sides, and moved forward firmly all the way.

But others are increasingly affected.

Although the level of temptation did not continue to increase—even things like dragon blood came out, and there was no room for improvement—but more and more people were tempted, and soon after, the No.2 victim reappeared up.

This victim was also for something that he was determined to obtain, so he jumped up and tried to obtain it with the momentum of fighting for his life.

The result was the same as the previous one, he also fell into the abyss.

Obviously, by this time, it is no longer a simple temptation of high prices, but something that appears for each person's specific needs.

Later, even Wiseman, Reinhardt, and Avril Lavigne encountered extremely targeted temptations.Fortunately, as Midi's allies, they are all extremely powerful minded people, so naturally they cannot easily lose their minds and fall into a trap.

But along the way, three or four of the 20 people have died.

The further back, the more vigilant the tester is, but the more targeted the temptation is, and the more difficult it is to resist.

Finally, there was only Midi left, who had not yet been targetedly seduced.

Just when Midi was secretly vigilant, her long red hair, as beautiful as a maple leaf, was suddenly reflected in his eyes.

"Fina..."

Facing the lover whom he dreamed of, Midi's eyes were as dark as stars, and finally there was an irresistible wavering.

On the opposite side of the abyss, this red-haired woman, whom Midi is familiar with, with her eyes closed and scars all over her body, was nailed to a towering black cross. A pile of dry firewood had already been piled up, and a trace of flame was licking the dry firewood, and then spread rapidly.

This situation made Reinhardt and Wiseman turn pale at the same time.

As humans from the Arad continent, although they are Midi's old opponents, the two of them naturally know very well what the "Magic Bullet Queen" Fina Hamilton means to Midi.

While others were shocked by the beautiful woman on the cross, Midi's eyes were full of anger.

Of course he knew that the opposite side of the abyss was just an illusion, a situation deliberately created by the trial to lure him forward.

Therefore, there is no need to "rescue" at all.

But does leaving like this count as passing the test?

Faced with the illusion of digging out the most cherished thing deep in his heart and insulting it, is it considered rational to let it go like this, and is it considered to be able to resist psychic powers?
Those who are seduced are losers, but can they be considered strong just by staying away from temptation?
Meddy doesn't think so.

The next moment, a sharp golden-red sword light frantically surged around him, and in an instant, Midi had transformed into a dazzling sword light, rushing straight to the opposite side of the abyss.

Seeing that Midi, who had always been extremely calm, went mad, the other three didn't know what to say for a moment, and they had no time to say anything, because in the blink of an eye, Midi had already flown above the abyss.

Dozens of whistling winds rushed towards his face immediately, but Midi was already prepared. The "scorching sun" and "cold moon" swords in his hands slashed out continuously. Among them, these terrible gale winds were wiped out by Midi abruptly!

Finally, after tens of seconds, there was nothing that could stop Midi. He easily crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, and then came to "Fina".

However, Midi did not go to rescue the red-haired woman on the flame cross. On the contrary, with a flash of the long sword in his hand, an incomparably wide sword light cut out directly, cutting "Fina" and the cross in half!

"Anyone who challenges my limit, no matter who they are, will have a dead end." Midi said calmly, but there was a chilling taste of iron and blood in her voice.

Slashed by the sword light, Fina and the cross were immediately distorted, turned into fragments, and disappeared into the air.

At the same time, the ancient and distant voice sounded again: "Through the illusion of the trial, you can get [-] units of spiritual power, and by breaking the illusion of the trial, you can get [-] units of spiritual power."

Accompanied by this sound, the testers suddenly discovered that some azure blue liquid gradually flowed into the drop of mind crystal that was integrated into the body.

This is psionic power, a reward from the mind labyrinth.

Those who can survive have naturally passed the illusion of the trial, so they get fifty units of psionic energy and put them in the crystal, which can only barely cover the bottom.

However, Midi got a full [-] units of psionic energy, six times more than the others, enough to form a small pool of water.

All of a sudden, the sights of Shandur, Luo Te, the man with the scar and others all focused on Midi.
