With his Boundless Vision activated, Lin Huang soon found out the reason why so many of them were stepping on the ground. The ground in this flat area was much thinner than the ground that they had walked on during the day.
Therefore, those who were heavier could easily step on the ground. The reason why Yi Yeyu could step on the ground was because she was wearing a pair of high heels, a pair of female military boots. The pressure on her heels was much higher than that of an ordinary person.
Seeing that Yi Yeyu had stepped on the ground twice, Lin Huang could not help but remind her, "You should change into a pair of shoes. Your heels can kill people. It'll be strange if you don't step on the ground."
Yi Yeyu glared at Lin Huang. She thought that Lin Huang was gloating.
"The squinty-eyed guy brought us here at night on purpose because the ground here is thinner and the visibility is poor. It's easier for us to be hit. Fortunately, the lava underground doesn't contain any spiritual power. All of us are wearing protective gear. If we fall, we'll only be scalded. It won't be life-threatening. At most, it'll consume more Life Power … "Lin Huang ignored Yi Yeyu's glare and said.
"So, you're saying that he's consuming our Life Power on purpose?" Yi Yeyu immediately understood what Lin Huang meant when she heard what he said.
"Of course, the more times we get hit, the more Life Power we'll have to consume. After all, movement skills don't require much Life Power. If we don't use other methods to deplete our Life Power, do you think anyone will be eliminated if we just run for three days and two nights like this? "Lin Huang said as if it was a matter of course. He had expected this to happen. "You should change into a pair of shoes. I'll wait for you and we'll catch up later."
After a moment of silence, although Yi Yeyu did not want to admit that Lin Huang was right, she decided to compromise. She stopped and put on a pair of running shoes from her storage space. She then threw the pair of military boots aside.
Lin Huang stopped and waited for her to put on her running shoes.
"I don't need you to wait. Can't I catch up with you?" Yi Yeyu scoffed.
Lin Huang shrugged and said nothing.
Not long after Yi Yeyu put on her shoes, a lady who was running in front suddenly stomped on the ground with her high heels. Sensing that something was wrong, she exerted strength on her other leg, trying to run away.
Right at that moment, Si Kongjian smirked and a dark force penetrated the ground beneath his feet. With a stomp of the lady's foot, the entire ground crumbled.
The woman and the group of people beside her immediately fell into the magma. There were even a group of people behind her who couldn't dodge in time and also plunged into the fiery red magma.
There were more than 1,800 of them, and almost one-third of them enjoyed the lava bath. When they got up from the lava, their clothes and hair were burnt by the high temperature of their Life Power, forming a beautiful scene.
The people who were following behind them snickered when they saw their awkward expressions. They immediately covered their bodies with their Combat Armor to prevent further exposure. However, many of them laughed when they saw their shiny heads that did not even have eyebrows.
As they had to deal with the burns on their bodies and change their clothes, the people who had fallen into the magma had to stop and watch the people who were behind them overtake them.
"Look, a high heel has caused so many people to fall into the magma." Lin Huang raised his eyebrow at Yi Yeyu. He did not notice that the squinty-eyed man was up to no good. He thought that the lady in high heels had stepped on the ground because it was not solid enough.
In fact, not only Lin Huang, but almost everyone else thought so too.
While a group of bald men were tending to their burns, many of them were glaring at the woman in high heels. She had no choice but to silently endure it all. Even she herself thought that it was her fault.
Yi Yeyu was glad that she had changed her shoes. If she was the one who had caused so many people to fall into her trap, she would have hidden herself in a hole. However, she pretended that she did not hear what Lin Huang said and turned her head to the side.
They spent the entire night running restlessly. There were more than 1,800 of them, and at least 1,200 of them were fighting on the ground. It was difficult to defend against the cracks on the ground.
However, Lin Huang was just like Si Kongjian, taking a stroll in the park. He did not seem to care about where he stepped on.
Yi Yeyu, on the other hand, was curious. She noticed that Lin Huang's footsteps were extremely light. Wherever he stepped on, there was no trace at all, let alone cracks.
"What kind of movement skill is that?" Yi Yeyu could not help but ask after observing for a while.
"Spectral Snowsteps."
"It sounds like a light-body movement skill. No wonder the ground doesn't break when you step on it." Yi Yeyu could tell the characteristics of the movement skill just by listening to its name.
"You can also use light-body movement skills. Why did you choose to use a movement skill?" Lin Huang was curious. He noticed that most of them were using movement skills, and a minority of them were using speed skills. Very few of them were using light-body movement skills like him.
"Of course, I know this place is more suitable for light-body movement skills, but I don't know how to do it," Yi Yeyu said helplessly. Yi Yeyu told the truth helplessly, "Light body movement skills are not as practical as speed and teleportation skills. That's why I didn't spend time cultivating them."
Lin Huang then understood why there were so few people who chose to use body lightening movement skills. Perhaps most of them had made the same decision as Yi Yeyu when it came to body movement training.
Humans had limited energy and time, so they would naturally pursue skills that were more practical. Compared to speed and movement skills that were more practical in battle, light-body movement skills were not practical. Moreover, after becoming transcendents, everyone could fly, so light-body movement skills were even more useless.
However, since Lin Huang had cultivated light-body movement skills, he had the upper hand in this place.
The night passed quickly. After running for more than 20 hours, coupled with the lack of sleep and the depletion of Life Power from falling into the lava, they were not as energetic as they were on the first day.
Only Lin Huang and a few of them were not affected.
Lin Huang was on level-8 Army Attack Tactics. Although he had been using Spectral Snowsteps to travel, his Life Power had been replenished by his Life Skill. After more than 20 hours, he had only depleted less than 10 columns of Life Power. Meanwhile, the people who fell into the lava yesterday had depleted at least 1,000 columns of Life Power. Maintaining the gold-level equipment to defend against the lava was actually more draining than defending against the enemy's attacks in battle.
