Chapter 420 Lost Kingship
The Qin State's exploration was not smooth.
The gray-brown cracked land is emitting a suffocating hot air flow all the time.
It was okay at first, but as Bai Xiao took the lead and marched deep into the earth, the temperature around him began to rise sharply, and in a moment it felt like he was in a steamer.
It’s okay for the tribe trio, each with magical powers and is not afraid of the high temperature, but Shengyuan’s students inevitably start to fall behind.
Without using magic tools or stimulating magical powers, even these carefully selected holy essences will find it difficult to use their physical bodies to resist the steamer.
But now we start to use the magical powers to cool down... This exploration lasts for seven days - how long will these seven days be extended in the ruins of the virtual world? It is still unknown - it has just started, and now we will use up the precious magic energy. What should we do afterwards?
Fortunately, this was a team action. Shengyuan students quickly supported each other, distributed their physical strength evenly, and barely kept up with Bai Xiao's pace. This on-site response and the tacit understanding of the team were worthy of praise, but in Lan Lan's eyes, there were still many flaws and could not bear to look at them.
"You are going to carry these burdens on your shoulders and then drag us down further?"
Lan Lan's words were exchanged for 20 hatred gazes. Although 10 of them quickly melted into the girl's peerless face, the atmosphere at the scene still seemed stiff.
Lan Lan showed even more contempt for this: "No wonder a group of waste is pushed as a burden, Zhou She really can choose people."
Even Yuanwei couldn't bear this sentence: "On the contrary, the speaker chose the best talents to come to this team..."
"So your best talent is at this level?"
Yuan Wei was speechless. Although she was unwilling to accept it, the team members could not keep up with Bai Xiao and others without even an hour of support. And they obviously slowed down and accommodated the Shengyuan people! Under the ironclad gap, the debate in words was really powerless.
Fortunately, Qingyue couldn't stand it at this time and explained: "If you are really the best talents in Shengyuan, you should be able to find that the closer you walk on this road, the easier it is to save effort."
Yuan Wei was stunned when she heard this, and immediately retraces her previous experience in her mind, and finds that it is really like the shrinking moon.
Regardless of the time when entering the virtual world, everyone experiences different times.
Shengyuan's team was divided into three rows, following Bai Xiao and others, and the two people who fell behind were indeed the two people who were walking at the end. Their physique and magical attainments should have been among the top 10 people!
This was originally a very obvious problem, but no one found out among the ten people at the scene!
Qingyue also said: "The most important thing about exploring the virtual world is natural adaptability. For example, Xiaobai, who can directly resonate and lead into physical relics as soon as he appears. He was thrown into the chaos of nothingness before and could walk back to reality. Compared with this talent, all theories and supernatural powers of human beings are just clumsy imitations. But it is obvious that this talent is unique in the world and cannot be demanded, so we have to settle for the second best. May I ask, what is the second important quality of exploring the virtual world?"
Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment and replied: "Observation and analysis ability."
Qingyue smiled and said, "Fortunately, the basic cognition is not wrong. In the virtual world, cognitive ability is the top priority compared to simple brute force. And you just followed along, why didn't you notice such a simple rule?"
Yuanwei opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
"Two possibilities, the first is that although you are nominally students, you obviously don't have the intention to learn. You are just here to travel and make things difficult for us..."
"Absolutely not!" Yuan Wei quickly defended.
"The second possibility is that although you have intentions, you always have knots in your heart and refuse to face up to the obvious objective facts..."
Before he finished speaking, he was taken over by Lan Lan: "If this is the case, you will be even less burdened. After all, the former will not feel wronged when he is pointed at the nose and scolded! A flat-breasted woman has a good temper. I don't have the patience to wait for you to adjust a little bit. If you can keep up, you will follow. If you can't keep up, you will die in the virtual world. Anyway, we can win if you lose ten points."
Lan Lan's words always make people's hearts and minds straightforward, while her style of doing things is consistent.
He said he didn't care, but he didn't care. After he threw the words, he took the lead and even walked in front of Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment and followed quickly. As soon as he stepped faster, the entire team could only speed up the follow-up - whether he wanted to or not.
Fortunately, this journey did not take long. About half an hour later, when the Shengyuan people had no choice but to use the branches of immortality to survive, Lan Lan finally stopped.
Ahead is a desperate situation that no one can get involved.
A burning sun was soaked in a golden liquid, and no extra temperature could be felt from the outside, but the elemental intuition from Wu Zhu reminded Lan Lan that as long as she dared to take the lead, no matter how friendly she was, she would be wiped out.
The girl had never seen such a high concentration of fire elements, and she could not imagine what method could steadily suppress the most intense and violent force in a pool.
She was surfing by the pool, and she occasionally leaned forward in her bone staff, as if she wanted to try the temperature, but in the end she was still restricted by reason and did not commit suicide. Although judging from the girl's usual behavior and style, it would be a matter of time before she could commit suicide. In a sense, she had great similarities with the original poem.
Just as Lan Lan was walking on the verge of committing suicide, some of the Holy Yuan people following behind him couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is this the elemental pool of the Flame Dynasty?"
Lan Lan looked back and saw that it was a glasses girl who couldn't name her name, so she asked indifferently: "Do you know me?"
The girl with glasses nodded seriously: "It was mentioned in ancient history that the sign of the flame dynasty entering its heyday was that it established an element pool and incorporated a large number of free elements into the king's will. All element users in the world had to go through the king's permission to continue using the fire element. However, at the end of the dynasty, new forces emerged one after another. Even if the fire element was monopolized, the tyrant could not maintain his own rule. Faced with various rebels, the last flame king once tried to detonate the element pool and let half of the country be buried with him, but the executors around him betrayed him, at a critical moment..."
"Okay, don't read history books anymore. Your textbooks are obviously made up." Lan Lan interrupted the recitation of the girl in glasses without hesitation. "The executor did not betray the king, but the result of the serial explosion was beyond everyone's expectations. The violent fire element tore the space apart. During the first explosion, all the subsequent element pools were sent into the virtual world, which saved the life of the rebels and also preserved half of the capital of the Flame Dynasty in the virtual world... This half of the ruins is what you call the Flame King Court."
The girl who loves to endorse the book the most was stunned: "What are you talking about? The Fire King Court is just a projection left by history in the virtual world, not a real royal city, you..."
Lan Lan rarely did not mock her anymore. Her eyes firmly locked on the dazzling element pool in front of her and said softly: "Elements have memories, and they see everything that happened in the past."
"But..." The girl in glasses still refused to give up. "If it weren't for the projection, how could this element pool be kept intact for thousands of years? Without anyone to maintain it, even the elemental eating of the Thunder Dynasty in later generations could only be naturally maintained for a hundred years. The technology of the Flame Dynasty..."
This time, it was Qingyue who answered her question.
"Because this elemental pool has just entered the virtual world less than half a day."
The girl with glasses opened her mouth wide and had millions of questions in her heart, but she could no longer resort to her words.
Yuan Wei clapped her hands and suddenly said, "Because time has no practical meaning in the virtual world!"
But soon someone around him said horror: "Thousands of years have passed from outside, and here has only been half a day. Then we have been walking in the Fire King Court for almost two hours. Wouldn't that mean..."
Qingyue sighed and said, "Reiterate again, the concept of space-time in the real world is invalid in the virtual world. At present, the time flow rate of most virtual world ruins is determined by the observer. Simply put, when no one explores, the time inside the ruins can be regarded as still, and only when external forces invade, the time inside the ruins will flow."
After Qingyue explained it briefly, she no longer cared about whether Shengyuan's students understood it. Instead, she came to Lan Lan and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lan Lan scoffed at this question: "Find out who you are talking to."
Qingyue smiled, not exposing the bluff of this old opponent, and said to herself: "During the Fire Dynasty, the core technology of the Element Pool lies in the word "king power", and the essence of the royal power is highly similar to the power of wishes, so..."
"You don't need to remind me!" Lan Lan was a little angry, "I know what to do!"
The next moment, the girl finally stopped hesitating and directly extended the bone staff in her hand into the pool water. With the waves spread, the fire element sealed in the pool water, which was like the scorching sun, began to flow.
Lan Lan was concentrating on her bone staff, and a light similar to the color of the pool water was lit. After a moment, the fire element in the pool water began to boil violently, like a volcano about to erupt. Lan Lan also showed a fierce look on her face, grinning slightly, revealing four sharp teeth that were obviously stretched out; the nails of her ten fingers became as sharp as a knife, and even blue beast patterns appeared on her cheeks. In an instant, the girl with a beautiful national beauty turned into the most ferocious beast on the snow mountain.
Qingyue frowned: "No, you are not royal power, but..."
"Shut up!" Lan Lan's roar was like a whistling thunder cloud, no longer having the aura of humanity. The next moment, the girl's body changed violently. The hair above her head was raised high by two beast ears, and her eyes, which were as beautiful as autumn water, turned into a narrow shape.
However, this violent and unruly, completely separated from the changes in human form, just suppressed the fire element that was about to explode. Under the impact of Lan Lan's tit-for-tat momentum, the scorching sun in the pool gradually restrained its light and finally quietly returned to the pool water.
Lan Lan stared at Chi Shui and took back the changes in her body shape little by little until finally, both sides returned to peace.
Everything is like an illusion, as if nothing has happened.
But the next moment, as Lan Lan's smile reappeared, the girl snapped her fingers, and the sun in the pool water suddenly contracted, turning into a ball of red light the size of a fist, shaking out of the pool water, lingering around Lan Lan's bone staff.
Chapter completed!
