"What happened?"
A dazed voice sounded. Those few obviously didn't know what had happened. Looking at everyone's expression, they then shifted their gaze to their feet.
Over there.
The sand suddenly became soft, and their feet unknowingly sank into it. What was even more incredible was that this speed was still spreading.
"Sand?"
"We fell into it?"
One man sneered, "Oh, I thought you guys are afraid. It turned out to be the quicksand. What a joke, a world esper is actually afraid of quicksand. "
"Rise!"
That man's Rule Force emerged, and he was ready to escape. However, who would have thought that when the Rule Force appeared, the originally calm sand suddenly became turbulent.
His Rule Force was absorbed.
"Retreat!"
Su Hao shouted loudly.
Everyone fled frantically. Just as they were about to leave, the quicksand spun crazily, dispersing to the surroundings. Almost instantly, those few people were drowned, as though they had fallen into a terrifying swamp. The invincible Rule Force was completely ineffective against it.
The quicksand spread.
In fact, those who were slow to escape were affected. As those few men struggled before their death, the turbulence of Rule Force caused the speed of the quicksand to increase again. Knowing that it was useless, knowing that Rule Force would only stimulate the quicksand, the only thing they could do before their death was this.
"Save me …"
"Save me … Ahhh …"
As for that man who ridiculed everyone at the beginning, after seeing that no one wanted to save him, he crazily urged all the Rule Force in his body.
"Since I am going to die, you guys will not have it easy either."
Boom!
The quicksand once again became turbulent.
"This madman."
Liu Ping's face changed greatly, "Quickly run!"
"Run!"
"Run!"
Without any intention to provoke nature, everyone was fleeing frantically.
However, those who ran the slowest were always affected. Every time the quicksand was about to stop, those world espers' final struggle would stimulate the quicksand.
The only driving force of this quicksand …
It was Rule Force!
Two minutes later.
When the quicksand finally stopped, everyone was scared out of their wits. No matter who saw this scene in front of them, their face wouldn't be any better.
Of the forty-eight people in the exploration team, only thirty were left.
In other words, a sudden quicksand actually killed eighteen of them!
It was unbelievable!
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. Even Liu Ping was a little frightened.
Quicksand …
In the past, for a world esper, not to mention Liu Sha, with just one move, it wouldn't be a problem to flatten an entire desert. Now, in front of Liu Sha, they were all gone.
It was sad and lamentable.
Everyone sobered up.
One water droplet to kill a world esper.
A grain of sand could destroy a world esper.
The first and second tests were actually very frightening.
However, for the first time, everyone held reverence in their hearts. Thus, even though the first trial was difficult, they still managed to persevere through unity and cautiousness. But in the second stage, because of Kintaro's antics and the benefits of the first stage, everyone forgot to respect him.
Reverence for this hopeless situation.
This place …
After all, this was a hopeless situation!
How could any of the Nine Great Despairs be simple?
The saddest part is that this quicksand could only eliminate a few world espers. But because of those people's suicides and jealousy, more than ten people were implicated. Especially that arrogant guy's resentment at the end, it affected everyone.
Even if he died, he wanted to drag everyone down with him.
This guy …
Liu Ping looked at the endless desert and suddenly felt that this problem must be solved first. That man is the first, but he won't be the last.
If the next quicksand appears, what should they do if such a person appears again?
It's very likely that they will be wiped out!
This sand absorbs Rule Force as a source of power!
"Remember two points."
Liu Ping's eyes turned terrifying as he looked at the remaining 30 people, "First, never use Rule Force. At least, absolutely not in this desert."
Everyone nodded.
What a joke.
After experiencing such a scene, who would dare to use Rule Force?
"Second …"
Liu Ping's eyes were filled with killing intent, "If it's a coincidence that the quicksand appears under someone's feet, then stay calm and let the desert devour you. Using Rule Force to struggle will only implicate others."
Everyone went silent.
That's the truth, but who could do it?
After all, they're already dead. What's there to care about?
Before death, use all your strength to struggle and try to escape. Different Rule Forces, what if there's a chance to break free? Why not try?
As for implicating others …
What a joke, I'm already dead. What's there to be afraid of?
Indeed.
Not using Rule Force and letting the desert devour you is the best for the team, but for an individual, it's a dead end. This time, everyone didn't dare to speak easily.
"Can't do it?"
Liu Ping asked calmly.
After stepping into a desperate situation, he had maintained the demeanor of a leader because he believed that these problems wouldn't be difficult for him. But now … he wasn't sure if World Force would be absorbed. After all, in the end, World Force is just a more powerful Rule Force.
That's the rule …
Is World Force feasible? What if it stimulates the desert even more?
Everyone will have to die!
Since it's related to his own comfort, Liu Ping finally went berserk.
"Can't do it?"
Liu Ping asked again in a stern voice. Still, no one answered.
"Then I will make the decision for you all."
Liu Ping's killing intent was monstrous, "From now on, if anyone dares to use Rule Force to break free from the quicksand, hehe … no worries? Do you all really have no worries? "
Liu Ping's eyes were cold.
"If you're killed by the quicksand, you're sacrificing yourself for the sake of humanity, and your family will enjoy supreme glory. However, if you implicate others like that guy just now … "
Liu Ping showed a cruel smile and looked at the little follower beside him.
"That guy just now, record it down. When we return, slaughter him. A force, we will destroy that force. A family, we will destroy that family. All those related to him, kill them all. Don't leave a single one alive! As for the crime, let's define it as inhumanity. "
Inhumanity …
Everyone felt a chill in their heart. They could already imagine what kind of scene it would be.
"If you all have thought it through, then let's go."
Liu Ping said indifferently.
Everyone was silent.
"Liu Ping …"
Su Hao took note of this name. This is the strength of a level three world esper, right? He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Liu Ping's decision. Obviously, the act of dragging others down with him was too abhorrent. Such people, even if they enter the beast battlefield, they won't have a good death.
"Be careful."
Su Hao reminded Zheng Tai.
At this time, everyone knew that once they were caught by the quicksand, they would definitely die! After experiencing the first level, the second level, where the quicksand swallowed people, had become a more terrifying crisis.
Because of this, the exploration team became even more cautious.
"Be sure not to use your Rule Force."
"Walk slowly."
"Don't worry."
Liu Ping muttered in a low voice.
It looked ridiculous. Obviously, he kept saying the same thing, but no one laughed because they could see Liu Ping's nervousness. Even Liu Ping, who didn't change his expression when facing Kintaro, was scared to death at this moment.
Who isn't afraid of death?
Even a world esper is afraid of death!
The reason why they didn't change their expression during normal times was because those guys hadn't encountered any real danger. Would dogs be afraid of pheasants? No, but what about facing lions and tigers?
They would still be terrified!
At this time, in this desert, in front of the quicksand, no one dared to be careless.
"In Taihu Territory, there is something similar?"
Liu Ping looked at Su Hao.
"Yes."
Su Hao calmly said, "Once you fall into the water, you will definitely die."
"Heh."
Liu Ping mocked himself. One is water, one is sand … It's indeed worthy of being one of the Nine Great Despairs.
In the desert.
There was no more sound. Everyone was walking silently. In front of a crisis, the atmosphere was a bit tense, and no one dared to speak.
No one dared to use their Rule Force.
This shouldn't be a problem, right?
After walking for five minutes, everything was calm. Only then did everyone feel relieved. It seemed that in this desert, as long as one doesn't use their Rule Force, there shouldn't be any problem.
If so, this place isn't too …
Just when everyone thought of this …
Kacha!
A distinctive sound of footsteps could be heard. Everyone turned stiff and looked at a certain direction behind them. A man, a world esper from the Origin Ability Association, stepped in.
Over there …
A piece of quicksand appeared.
"Huh?"
That man obviously panicked, "I didn't use my Rule Force."
"Don't move!"
Liu Ping shouted, "Don't move."
"I won't move."
"But my feet, my feet are moving!" the man exclaimed in fear. "But my feet … my feet are moving!"
Yes.
The quicksand moved again.
Although there was no Rule Force to stimulate it and its range wasn't large, it still moved again.
"Do you remember what I said before?"
Liu Ping comforted him in a soft voice.
At this time, not only that man, the others didn't dare to move because it was too close! Once that man's Rule Force went berserk, everyone would die!
Perhaps only Liu Ping with his speed could have a chance to escape, right?
At this time, he mustn't be stimulated!
"I remember."
That man's face turned pale.
"I remember you have a daughter, right?"
Liu Ping smiled, "I remember that child. She's very cute. She even came to the Origin Ability Association before. Everyone treated her as their own daughter …"
"It's Ling Er."
That man's eyes revealed a soft light.
"Sorry, I can't save you."
Liu Ping looked solemn, "But I will take good care of her! If there is a chance … If there is a chance, I can go back alive, I will treat her as my own daughter! "
"Alright."
That man nodded, "I believe you!"
Both of them are from the Origin Ability Association, and their relationship is quite good. Although Liu Ping is strong and his character is more irritable, his promise is absolutely trustworthy.
Both of them suddenly stopped talking, and that man also lost his desire to struggle.
Everyone watched that man's figure being gradually swallowed by the quicksand in front of everyone. Only at the last moment did that man shed tears.
"Must …"
"Take good care of her."
One man died.
It didn't affect anyone, but the atmosphere in the team was quite heavy.
No one spoke again. Everyone was walking in silence. Their pace was faintly faster, wanting to get out of this nightmarish place. A few minutes later, a soft sound came again.
Su Hao's foot that was about to step out suddenly stopped.
