Although two large light groups like the sun and the moon hang in the sky at the same time, it is obvious that the "moon" is closer to the testers and the "sun" is further away.
The 50 testers, including Su Ze, were like athletes standing on an ultra-wide track, about to start a racing competition.
Everyone stood at a loss on their respective "runways" and found that they had lost the ability to fly and could not move left or right. They did not know what to do next.
Until an ink-like shadow suddenly shrouded the rear, and it was still approaching the trialists.
"What is that?" someone asked in surprise.
Su Ze calmly activated the "Eye of Reality" skill and thrust his sensory tentacles into the shadow.
That was... Su Ze's pupils suddenly shrank, because he detected that it was not a shadow, but densely packed tiny black insects coming like a tide.
What's even more frightening is that Su Ze's sensing tentacles that penetrated it were eaten by those black insects!
Su Ze's sensory tentacles are energy bodies formed by the power of evolution. They are extremely small and concealed, making it difficult for even saint-level experts to detect them, but they cannot escape the eyes of these black bugs.
"escape!"
Su Ze ran forward without hesitation, waving and shouting to remind Brother Ya and other three teammates.
Su Ze was not the only one with detection skills and pupil skills. There were also others who discovered the danger in the shadows and made the same choice as Su Ze, running forward!
Some people took the lead, others followed suit, and no one dared to touch the shadow rashly.
And at this moment, the "sun" and "moon" in the sky actually stopped shining, and the light they projected continued to gather, and the range became smaller and smaller.
Among them, the "sun" is far away from the testers, and the light after the convergence can no longer reach the testers, while the "moon" is closer, and the testers are still shrouded in moonlight.
But the border of moonlight is also constantly catching up with the trialists.
"Look, those shadows can't enter the moonlight range!" someone said after observing.
As Su Ze ran, he used his sensory tentacles to detect the situation behind him, and found that this was indeed the case. To be precise, after the moonlight in the sky gathered, it became more condensed. Those black bugs did not dare to enter the condensed moonlight range, and did not dare to be caught by the moonlight. irradiated.
However, the range of the moonlight is still gradually shrinking. It is not difficult to imagine what would happen if the trialists slowed down and escaped from the range of the moonlight.
However, the contraction speed of the moonlight is not fast, and it is easy for the trialists to keep up with the speed of the moonlight.
It's definitely not that simple... Just as Su Ze thought this, he suddenly felt a tremor all over his body and his steps slowed down instantly.
He was the first one to run. When the other testers who were one step slower than him ran to the same position as him, they also seemed to have been pressed on the slow-down button, and their speed slowed down.
It was not physical resistance, but mental pressure.
A mental pressure that was not difficult to withstand but could not be ignored enveloped Su Ze, forcing him to concentrate on resisting it, and his pace naturally slowed down.
So this round is testing mental strength?
Su Ze's mental strength was not outstanding, but he estimated that others were not necessarily better than him.
Among the trialists who came in this time, there were no spiritual evolvers.
So everyone is at about the same level.
Su Ze just resisted the mental pressure and continued to move forward. The other testers also entered the mental pressure zone, and they seemed to be running away. They did not dare to run fast and stopped after taking a few steps.
At this time, everyone's speed is about the same, no one is particularly fast or slow.
But as he ran, Su Ze felt the invisible mental pressure increasing.
Gradually, he felt a little tired.
But he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Su Ze took the time to look around and found that the person rushing to the front was actually a younger person.
Are young people more mentally powerful?
Obviously not!
The only reasonable explanation is that younger people suffer less mental stress.
This second level of trial is still linked to age.
However, what is different from the first round of trials is that this time there are several trialists who are quite young and have rushed to the front. It seems that they are all mentally strong.
Instead of being like in the first round, all those who passed the trial early were young trialists.
At this level, you can use your mental power to bridge the age gap.
For example, Brother Ya's enemy Feroz. Although this old guy is in his fifties, he must have strengthened his mental strength. He is actually in the same echelon as a group of young men in their early twenties.
In addition, Su Ze, a test subject who was found to be less than one year old, did not receive great preferential treatment, and the mental pressure he endured was not small.
Unlike in the first round of trials, the water was obviously released.
At this moment, heart-rending screams suddenly came from behind, one after another, which made people feel scalp numb.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was a trialist in his forties who was at the back. He was caught up by the Moonlight Boundary because he was moving too slowly.
One of his feet fell outside the range of the moonlight, and the heel was instantly eaten away by dense black insects until no bones were left.
Those black bugs only gnawed at the part of him that fell outside the moonlight, and never went beyond that.
He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, not daring to stop at all. However, he was already under great mental pressure and had to endure the excruciating pain. He rushed forward too hard and could not withstand the mental pressure that suddenly became stronger. , staggered and fell down.
He lay on the ground and fainted for more than ten seconds before Yoyo woke up. During this period, his teammates could do nothing but call his name from a distance, hoping to wake him up.
But by the time he woke up, it was already too late. The moonlight boundary had shrunk behind him again. He struggled to get up, but failed. Then he was caught up by the shadow...
First, his two calves were eaten. He could only scream and crawl forward with his two arms, but the moonlight boundary shrank faster than his crawling speed. The black bugs continued to move towards the moonlight as it shrank. He approaches.
Then his thighs, his lower abdomen...even the blood stains he left along the way were swallowed up.
He could only feel the pain of being bitten bit by bit on his body, crawling and wailing.
Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, had enough of the pain, and turned around and plunged into the shadows.
In an instant, his screams stopped.
No one in the crowd had the time to turn around and pay attention to the whole process of him being devoured, but his screams and wails fell into everyone's ears without missing a beat.
No one wanted to be the second him, so everyone gritted their teeth and rushed forward.
Su Ze still maintained the leading position, but as he continued to move forward, the mental pressure had turned into waves of mental attacks.
Su Ze was unable to withstand the waves of mental attacks.
Moreover, these mental attacks also have a hypnotic mental influence, constantly affecting Su Ze's thoughts.
I'm so tired, let's take a rest...
I'm already number one, take a break.
Too sleepy, want to sleep...
Various thoughts kept popping up in Su Ze's mind, eroding his will.
At this point, the test is not only mental strength, but also willpower and so on.
Is Su Ze the kind of person who is easily bewitched?
of course not!
He just felt that the words that came to his mind made some sense...
I'm number one now, so why bother? Why don't I stop and mock the Luo Fan lizard man behind me?
"It seems that I am still affected. Wouldn't it be better to wait until I reach the finish line and then go back and slowly interfere with them?" Su Ze shook his head and suddenly woke up, "I also made an appointment with Brother Ya to be early for this round. Clearance."
Su Ze decided to activate the "Indomitable Will" skill. He had not activated it before because he wanted to see where his limits were.
Under a mental attack, turning on "Unyielding Will" is almost the same as cheating. Su Ze didn't want to cheat at first, but wanted to experience the fun of the game.
Now I find that cheating is more fun.
"Unyielding Will" is activated, and Su Ze's mental power and physical body are fully integrated.
In an instant, those mental attacks that gave him a headache fell on him, like raindrops... It felt like it was a little annoying, but not painful.
Those interferences to his spiritual will were suddenly weakened to the point where they could be ignored.
Su Ze took a step forward and strode forward.
One step at a time, two steps... After confirming that there was no pressure, Su Ze spread his legs and started running.
More than forty trialists behind him were struggling hard, enduring mental pressure and fighting against the voices in their heads and their various distracting thoughts. Su Ze at the front was seen stretching out his long legs. It was such a joy to run.
"You're still fucking hallucinating, what a fool!" a trialist cursed.
He didn't believe it was real and thought it was an illusion caused by the trial.
"Is it possible that the end point is there, and you can get rid of the mental attack by running there?" Someone focused on Su Ze's starting position.
Those who were not far behind Su Ze suddenly rushed forward as if they had been given a shot of blood.
But when they reached Su Ze's level, they only felt a more violent mental attack.
This is not the end!
"What's going on with that kid? Others get slower as they get to the back, but he gets faster as he gets to the back?"
"Has he been hiding his clumsiness in the past?"
Even Li Yongguan and Zhang Tai were shocked. Probably only Brother Ya knew what was going on.
Everyone felt that their Taoist hearts had been impacted.
Especially those top geniuses who are self-proclaimed, all of them have expressions of disbelief on their faces. They can accept that other geniuses are a little better than them, but they cannot accept that others are that much better than them.
In normal times, a little mood fluctuation would naturally not matter, but now they are still undergoing mental attacks and mental bewitchments.
A slight flaw in one's mood and wavering in one's will will lead to a chain reaction.
There were a few geniuses with jealousy in their eyes. They rushed forward like crazy regardless of the consequences, trying to keep up with Su Ze's pace.
There were also a few people who were simply smashed and lying on the ground without leaving.
Su Ze didn't know that his actions actually affected others, but he didn't care. He ran under the "moon" first and was suddenly shocked.
"Is there any benefit?"
