Chapter 68 - The Final Test? The Danger of Falling!
Chapter 68: The Final Test? The Danger of Falling!
The scene in front of them changed so quickly that they didn’t even have time to react.
“This is not good, this is the Land of Thunder and Fire!”
Clark felt a mysterious aura, which made her expression suddenly change!
As an antiquarian, Clark had a certain understanding of the mythology and history of the Andes Mountain here.
Among them, the great name of the Land of Thunder and Fire was studied quite thoroughly.
In ancient times, an extremely powerful Thunder Beast was said to have been sealed here unwillingly.
This Thunder Beast, which dominated the four directions in ancient times, was sealed by the joint efforts of several powerful Peerless Mages and Fierce Beast Masters.
Its unwillingness and hatred had instantly turned into an endless Land of Thunder and Fire!
Over the years, many people had wanted to explore the secrets of the Sea of Thunder and Fire, but after so many years…
No one had survived!
However, before Clark could explain it to anyone, she immediately released the Fierce Beast, the underground beast!
In an instant, with the help of the Pet Beast, Clark immediately appeared a hundred meters away and left this land of troubles far away.
However, Lilian, who had been beside her, held the necklace with both hands. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
“Oh no! We’ve lost too much time! The Trial Field has pushed us to the most difficult checkpoint of all, the Hell of Wind and Thunder!”
The Hell of Wind and Thunder was the short name of the Heavenly Star Military Academy for the most difficult checkpoint in the Andean mountain range, the Trial Field of Wind and Thunder. Generally speaking, it would only be opened under extremely special circumstances.
The reason this place was called Hell was because of the presence of a powerful suppressive force in this area of thunder and fire. This force made it so that none of the Beastmasters who were present could use the power of Fierce Beasts.
As expected, after the Gale Sparrow had swallowed all the Heavenly Thunder Fruits on the Heavenly Thunder Tree, it had been suppressed, turning it into a stream of light which flowed into the Subdued Beast Space between Mike’s brows.
In an instant, their surroundings collapsed. Mike and Lilian immediately felt weightless under their feet.
At the same time, waves of violent air currents came into their ears.
As if he was in a void, Mike kept falling.
Moreover, it seemed to be a vast wasteland below. In this calm place, the air was filled with a hot and violent feeling.
It made people feel a sense of danger.
Although they didn’t know what would happen next, Mike still held on to Lilian as soon as he fell.
After all, as a man, it was his duty to protect his companions at a most dangerous time.
However, at the moment, Mike’s body was falling rapidly. At the same time, he could feel Lilian hugging him nervously.
However, he didn’t have time to feel the soft sensation coming from his chest.
He was activating his physical skill, the body of the Dragon God!
He wanted to use the body of the Dragon God to obtain a physical strength that surpassed his current level. He wanted to be able to withstand the final impact when he landed on the ground.
He believed that as long as he made good use of the strength of his physical body, he and the others would not die because of Lucy!
“Stupid!” Mike’s actions shocked Lucy.
Although she was Mike’s favored pet, she would be suppressed in this area, even though her bloodline level was a little higher than the Thunderstorm Hawk.
Not only that, she had already transformed into human form and escaped the suppression of the Trial Field!
However, when Mike heard Lucy’s voice, he relaxed slightly.
Regardless, Lucy would not be ignoring him if she spoke now.
“Idiot, do you know that your current Dragon God body can’t support the weight of two people? The most important thing for you to do now is to throw her away!”
Lucy’s stiff words entered Mike’s ears, but it seemed to stem from some jealousy.
“Lucy, just treat me as an idiot, but when faced with danger to my team members, it’s impossible for me to just stand by and do nothing. If you can give me some of the power in your body, I believe that we will be able to change the situation the moment we land!”
The whistling sound of the wind in her ears became more and more shrill, and the magnifying speed of the scene below also became faster and faster.
Lilian’s eyes were tightly closed, and there was a lingering masculine scent teasing the tip of her nose that gradually made her feel at ease. With Mike’s help, the fear and uneasiness in Lilian’s heart could not help but decrease a little.
At this time, Mike’s eyes were wide open. He looked down, and under the condition of elemental perception, he found that the elemental flow rate in the air around him had changed.
This meant that the ground they would be landing on was very close to them.
In just a few seconds, he and Lilian would crash heavily onto the ground!
Moreover, he finally understood what Lucy said.
At this height, the strength in his body could not ensure the safety of the two of them. It was very likely that he would be smashed into a meat patty!
Mike shouted in his heart, “Lucy!”
As Mike shouted in his heart, a tremendous power suddenly emerged from his limbs and bones. This power gave him a power that was enough to look down on to the world momentarily, which also gave him a feeling that his limbs and bones were broken.
Mike instantly became extremely calm.
The blood and qi power in his body was completely released. This blood-colored qi membrane wrapped around Mike and Lilian’s bodies, resisting the airflow that was rushing down.
Suddenly, it felt as if something was supporting them from below.
Mike and Lilian’s falling speed continued to slow down. In the short span of time, the impact between them suddenly slowed down just as they were about to touch the ground.
However, compared to this area, their falling speed was still extremely fast.
Just as Mike felt that he was about to reach the ground, he did not hesitate to push Lilian upwards.
Lilian’s heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyes opened wide.
She had been prepared to fall to her death at the same time as Mike, but this scene did not surprise her at all!
Mike had given her a chance to survive!
Seeing Mike’s determined face and wild eyes, Lilian’s heart seemed to be filled with bitterness!
For a moment, there was so much that she wanted to say, but all her words were swallowed down, without being able to say a word.
Boom!
Mike’s body fiercely collided with the ground, heavily hitting the ground. The ground on the plains was filled with soft grass.
However, Mike did not feel any pain.
After all, the ground was covered with soft grass. However, when he came into contact with the grass, his consciousness instantly fell into darkness.
“Mike!”
When Mike landed on the ground, it took a few seconds for Lilian, who had fallen to the side, to recover from the shock.
When she thought of how Mike had used an unquestionable and gentle force to push her away at the last moment, and how she had landed slowly during the last five meters, and how that gentle force had even escorted her to the ground… The fall had not harmed her in the slightest.
Lilian’s feet landed steadily on the ground. She rushed towards Mike in a daze and watched him sink deep into the hole in the grass. When Lilian saw this, her eyes filled with tears.
There had never been a man who would give up his precious life in such a dangerous situation and choose to save her.
Yet, this man was actually a classmate that she had only met a few times!
“Mike!!”
Lilian immediately rushed towards Mike. At the same time, her face was full of tears as she cried out in grief.
Within her family, Lilian had started training by herself since she was young. No one in her family had ever cared about her at all. The whole time, there had only been a silent wooden costume that could not speak and an ice-cold training room.
Lilian was crying so much that she had become completely tearful. Ever since she was young, she had learned to be strong enough to face any difficulties alone. Her tears were like a gushing spring that could not be stopped. Very quickly, her entire face was wet.
As the heir of a large family clan, it had made her hate her gender so much because she had put all of her energy into training.
This also caused Lilian’s character to be incomparably simple!
In all the years she was growing up, many people had treated her well, and there were even many who had deliberately fawned over her.
Since she was young, she had been completely indifferent to feelings, although she believed in the preciousness of feelings.
If not, she would not have made up her mind to save Mike the first time she met him.
However, she had never thought that there would be someone in this world who would be willing to risk his life when her life was in danger, or even use his precious life to protect her in front of him!
At least, in her current life experience, she had never seen a man who was as silly as her classmate.
