"Hualala!"
A large hole with a diameter of thirty to forty meters appeared in front of the deck. A biting cold wind suddenly swept into the deck, causing the youths, who were only wearing sports vests and shorts, to feel a bone-piercing chill.
"All examinees — jump!" The black-clothed officer pointed at the large hole and said expressionlessly.
Many examinees paled when they heard this.
The Distant Expanse was floating several hundred meters above sea level. Devil Flood Dragon Island was right below it. If he were to jump from here, even if he were to fall into the sea, the only path left for him would be to fall to his death, not to mention directly falling onto the island.
"What, no one dares to jump? That doesn't matter. It's not too late to withdraw from the competition. The Limit Challenge Competition isn't prepared for cowards!" The black-clothed officer laughed disdainfully.
These words ignited the blood of many students. The red pimpled youth who had said he wanted to apply for the First Military Academy pushed everyone aside and roared, "Jump then jump! What are you afraid of? If you're afraid of death, then you won't be a cultivator! "
His two legs kicked, his two arms opened, and he jumped down from the hole. The red pimpled youth yelled at the top of his lungs. His yelling was instantly torn apart by the biting cold wind.
With someone taking the lead, there was an endless stream of people following closely behind. In fact, everyone knew that there was definitely some kind of arrangement below. They wouldn't fall to their deaths in vain. They just had to overcome the psychological barrier.
Li Yao blended in with the crowd and quickly moved to the edge of the hole. Against the cold wind, he looked down. He saw that the thousand youths who had just jumped down had yet to land.
They were all stuck in the air by a large translucent net. They were falling at an extremely slow speed.
"A Deceleration Glyph Array?"
Li Yao clicked his tongue. A Deceleration Glyph Array was an essential Glyph Array when riding a flying sword. If an enemy attacked and you fell, all you had to do was activate the Deceleration Glyph Array and you could slowly land. You wouldn't fall to your death.
However, a normal Deceleration Glyph Array only had an effective range of three to five meters. This Deceleration Glyph Array could actually cover an area of several thousand meters. It was truly extravagant.
No longer hesitating, Li Yao grabbed the white Puji Critter and jumped down several hundred meters into the air!
The wind whistled by his side and the bird soared below his feet. This feeling of riding the wind on a sword was too wonderful for words!
However, before Li Yao could enjoy it for two seconds, he felt a milky white light flash around him. Then, his body turned sluggish, as if he had fallen into a ball of soft cotton. His speed suddenly slowed to an extreme.
After falling for more than ten seconds in the "transparent" cotton, his body relaxed and returned to normal gravity and speed. The wind began to howl in his ears again.
This time, in less than two seconds, he fell into a second ball of "transparent cotton."
Looking at the hundreds of examinees who were struggling as if they were in water, Li Yao fell into deep thought and understood the mystery of the Deceleration Array Glyphs.
In the air between the Distant Expanse and Devil Flood Dragon Island, there were a total of several dozen layers of deceleration array glyphs. Each layer had a buffering effect.
In this way, the examinees would be able to safely arrive at Devil Flood Dragon Island after going through many layers of buffering.
This kind of usage of super-large array glyphs was truly ingenious to the extreme. Li Yao secretly praised in his heart. He realized that there were still many things that he had to learn.
He simply closed his eyes and spread his arms and legs to form the Chinese character "大", allowing the "transparent cotton" to massage his entire body. He grasped the last bit of time to conserve his energy.
In the depths of his brain, memories originating from Ou Yezi appeared like flickering light and passing shadows.
Finally …
Through the buffering of the ten layers of deceleration array glyphs, Li Yao safely arrived a dozen meters above Devil Flood Dragon Island. As far as the eye could see, there was a verdant and lush jungle below. Quite a few examinees had already landed.
From the depths of the jungle came the roars of demon beasts and the roars of examinees.
An intense battle completely unfolded in the first second!
Li Yao suddenly opened his eyes. It was as if he was waiting for a garbage ship in the Artifact Graveyard. His blood was completely boiling.
Both of his feet lightly tapped on a branch, dispersing the last bit of falling force. Borrowing the elasticity of the branch, he changed his direction. Li Yao was like an agile black panther, scuttling into the jungle and steadily landing on the ground.
He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
When he looked down from the sky, he only felt that Devil Flood Dragon Island was a strangely shaped, long and narrow island shrouded in black gas. He didn't feel that it was that terrifying.
However, once he set foot on Devil Flood Dragon Island, he discovered that the entire island was shrouded in towering trees that blotted out the sky and covered the sun.
Raising his head to look, he could only see a faint gray fog lingering between the black branches. He simply couldn't see the blue sky or the white clouds. No matter how strong the sunlight was, it would still turn into a hazy dusky yellow.
As far as the eye could see, the air was pervaded by a layer of faint green miasma all day long. It caused Li Yao to only be able to clearly see the environment within a radius of three to five meters. Further away, he could only see gray silhouettes that crisscrossed with each other. The twisted trees were like demon beast skeletons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, swaying with the wind.
Just now, he could still hear the sounds of fighting rising and falling. At this moment, they seemed to be isolated by the miasma. Even the howls of demon beasts became indistinct. One second, they were still at the horizon. The next second, they were whispering by his ear. It was as if a terrifying demon beast was hiding behind his head.
The three thousand challengers landed on Devil Flood Dragon Island. They were like three thousand grains of sand sprinkled into the ocean, dissipating in the blink of an eye.
It was as if Li Yao was the only person left in the entire world. He was situated on this terrifying demon beast island.
Li Yao leaned against a black tree full of growths. He unhurriedly moved his arms and legs, carefully observing his surroundings.
There were no ready-made roads on Devil Flood Dragon Island. Beneath his feet was a muddy humus. If he wasn't careful, he would step on fine demon beast skeletons, pricking the soles of his feet painfully. The green miasma emitted a slightly pungent stench. This smell was actually quite similar to the Artifact Graveyard.
"Hiss, hiss, the Demon Emperor won't let you go …"
From the black tree behind him, an extremely faint and distorted cry suddenly rang out.
Li Yao was frightened. He turned around to look, only to see a few tree growths twisting and squirming. They converged together, condensing into the incomparably ugly face of a demon beast.
This face laughed nastily and said, "Just wait and see.
Lord Demon Emperor has already amassed a million demon soldiers at the bottom of the Far East Sea. Very soon, they will rush to the coast and engulf the Federation. They will kill all the men and eat all the women and children. Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss! "
Li Yao sneered. He calmly said, "I've carefully examined Devil Flood Dragon Island.
"I've carefully read Devil Flood Dragon Island's introduction. It's said that the island is covered with a type of demonic plant called the 'Illusory Vine'. It releases a light green illusory miasma day and night. It can hypnotize a person's mind and cause them to hallucinate … You're just an illusion. You can't trick me!
The demon beast's face stiffened. In a flash, it split into pieces, once again transforming into tree growths and disappearing without a trace.
Li Yao let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, the black tree trembled. The bark squirmed and was actually forcibly pulled apart from the inside out. A half-rotted humanoid figure crawled out from the middle of the tree in an extremely stiff manner. It raised its head and gave Li Yao a faint smile.
Most of its body had already rotted away. Its mangled internal organs were tightly connected to the black tree's roots, fusing together into one. The left side of its face was covered with large chunks of bark and moss. Only the right side of its face could still be vaguely recognized.
It was actually … Ou Yezi's appearance!
"Do you think it's that easy to swallow my memories? There will come a day when I will thoroughly possess this body and be reborn into a cultivation 40000 year old! "
