"Brother Yu, what do you think?" Ye Tian asked first.
"If it were me, I wouldn't choose any of these three paths!" Yu Tianlu said without hesitation.
"What?" Yu Tianlu's shocking words also surprised everyone present.
"Don't choose any of them. Brother Yu, do you want to open up a new path?" Ye Tian asked nervously.
"Yes, according to our current situation, even the last road that takes three hours is more dangerous." Yu Tianlu analyzed, "So the only way for us to reach the end on time is to open up a new road."
"A new road?" After hearing this, the candidates had a look of panic on their faces, "Then the officially recommended road at least has some reference. If we rashly take other roads, won't there be any problems?"
"You only know one but not the other. What recommended route is there? There are no roads in the world. Only when more people walk there are roads." Yu Tianlu laughed loudly, and as he spoke, he saw a golden line appear on the map. The line started from their location, meandered on the map for a while, and finally connected to the end point.
"This is the new route I have drawn. I wonder if everyone is willing to take the risk with us." Yu Tianlu said.
Everyone took a look and found that the route drawn by Yu Tianlu was indeed much shorter than the other three recommended routes.
However, many candidates still have concerns.
"Sorry, Boss Ye, Brother Yu, I think we'd better take the high road!" Some candidates said goodbye to Yu Tianlu helplessly, "We still think the recommended route is safer, so we'll take the first step!"
As several candidates left, a large number of ordinary candidates chose to form a team and take the recommended route.
"Damn it, these guys really have no loyalty at all!" Wu Lianzhi said angrily, "Didn't we rely on us to get through the first level before? Now we just want to leave. I'm really speechless!"
"Azhi, everyone has their own ambitions, we can't blame them harshly." Yu Tianlu comforted him.
Yu Tianlu understood their choice very well.
It is not easy for them to obtain the qualifications for the examination, and naturally they are not willing to risk their qualifications.
You must know that the route Yu Tianlu chose, there are no notes on the map of the area he passed through, which will naturally arouse the concerns of ordinary candidates.
Fortunately, Ye Tian firmly stayed with more than a dozen candidates.
"Brother Yu, don't say much. You saved my life. We decided to go forward and retreat together with you!" Ye Tian said without hesitation.
"Thank you, Brother Ye, for trusting us!" Yu Tianlu said happily, "I can guarantee that you have made the most correct choice."
"Xiao Lu, where should we go according to this route?" Yan Yue asked.
"The easiest way is to follow this trail, where there is a big river." Yu Tianlu said, "If we take the water route, the straight-line distance is the shortest and can buy us at least half an hour."
"Half an hour!" Several people also looked excited.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" Wu Lianzhi urged.
"No hurry, no rush!" Yu Tianlu said, "We need to prepare some fossilized wood first."
"Why?" Yan Yue asked puzzledly.
"We are going to take the water route next, so we naturally need ships!" Yu Tianlu explained, "There happens to be so much shipbuilding materials here, so don't waste it."
"It makes sense, but it doesn't seem easy to get so much wood, right?" Ye Tian said worriedly.
"What's wrong with it? Look at my power!"
While he was speaking, Wu Lianzhi had already picked up the materialized knife with both hands.
I saw two knives flying up and down in the air, and a few minutes later a cart appeared in front of everyone.
"So, my craftsmanship is pretty good!" Wu Linzhi said proudly.
"I didn't expect that the young gang leader of the 'Wulian Gang' would have such abilities!" Ye Tian also clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Okay, why are you guys still hanging around? Hurry up and load the fossilized wood into the car!" Wu Lianzhi shouted.
So several friends also seized the time and loaded as much fossilized wood as possible on the car.
Then everyone struck while the iron was hot and continued to move forward along the new route.
At the finish line, Cheng Kezhao and other teachers looked at the changes in the candidates' positions on the big screen, with uncertain faces.
"What's going on with Yu Tianlu? Instead of taking any of the recommended routes, you chose to take that waterway!" Wang Liming couldn't help but said, "Do you really think our virtual forest is a park?"
"Teacher Gu, what do you think?" Cheng Kezhao asked.
"Director Cheng, if it were me, maybe I would choose that path like Yu Tianlu." Gu Mucheng said.
"Why?"
"They were delayed for too long by the 'Repeating Forest' just now. If they follow the recommended route, they may not be able to make it in time." Gu Mucheng said, "Even if it is the shortest route, if these ordinary candidates pass, they may not be able to make it in time. .”
"There is always a glimmer of hope if they can't catch up, but if they want to open up a new route, they simply give up on their own." Wang Liming said, "In other areas of this virtual forest, we have a lot of wild animals and uncontrollable mechanisms. It is impossible for them to get by. .”
"Teacher Wang, don't jump to conclusions until the end!" Cheng Kezhao said, "But to be on the safe side, we'd better contact Teacher Feng to pay more attention to the area where they are! At least don't put their lives in danger!"
"Don't worry! Director Cheng, I will contact the invigilators right away." Gu Mucheng said immediately.
But just when Yu Tianlu and others were preparing to take the risk and try a new route, the remaining three aristocratic teams were traveling very smoothly on the other three recommended roads.
The team led by Lu Lianhai and Xu Yalian chose the safest path. Although they encountered many obstacles along the way, with these two people holding the line, the overall marching speed was orderly.
"Brother Lu, judging from the current situation, we are expected to reach the finish line an hour ahead of schedule!" Xu Yalian said optimistically.
"You must not take it lightly. You must know that it is not unreasonable for the elimination rate of the Royal College Entrance Examination to be so high every year." Lu Lianhai looked very cautious, "We did not pass the previous levels 100%!"
Lu Lianhai and the others encountered a trap array before, and various traps were prevalent. In particular, the invisible sharp arrows shot are extremely concealable.
Although these arrows are not lethal, the arrows have a paralyzing effect.
As a result, many candidates were recruited.
In the end, Lu Lianhai materialized a waterfall, and then resolved those invisible sharp arrows. Even so, there are still three out of ten candidates who will be eliminated.
"Brother Lu, you have to know that the admission rate for the formal exam last year was only 30%! Those who follow us now can guarantee at least a 50% pass rate. Isn't this rate high?" Xu Yalian said in confusion.
"I originally wanted everyone to pass!" Lu Lianhai shook his head and said, "It seems that many times it is really impossible to do it alone."
"Master Lu, please stop blaming yourself. We are the ones who should blame ourselves!" Those candidates said repeatedly, "We have been along the way. If Brother Lu and Brother Xu hadn't discovered the power of God at the critical moment, how could we have saved the day? It’s too late for us to thank you? Do we dare to expect to be harsh on you?”
"That's right! You guys should be able to reach the finish line first! It's because of us that we have been moving forward slowly. So! We are determined to follow you."
The candidates' words also moved Lu Lianhai very much.
"Everyone is serious. In fact, without everyone's sincere unity, we would not be able to get here." Lu Lianhai said emotionally, "But the closer we are to the finish line, we must not take it lightly. I heard that this last level is for everyone." Every candidate must go through it, and it is extremely dangerous.”
"Master Lu, please rest assured that we will all do our best. Even if we can't get through, we will take you through." The candidates were also furious.
"Don't worry, I, Lu Lianhai, do what I say. Let's cross the finish line together this time!" Lu Lianhai said with great enthusiasm.
Xu Yalian was convinced by this old friend.
"I originally boasted that my strength and Brother Lu's were on par, even in terms of Xianghua power. But the wealthy families in Xiangzhou always ranked me below him. I still didn't understand it at the time, but now it seems I am indeed not as good as him." Xu Yalian thought to himself, "I can't just unite these strangers around and maximize the cohesion of the entire team!"
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu!"
"Brother Lu!" Lu Lianhai's call pulled Xu Yalian out of his thoughts.
"what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing? I just suddenly thought of something. What's wrong?"
"I thought you were in a trance!" Lu Lianhai said with a smile, "We are going to pass the level again next."
Lu Lianhai pointed forward and saw that several tigers had appeared in front of everyone.
Those tigers made earth-shattering roars at the candidates. It seemed that their fighting power was even worse than the tigers on the day when the results were released.
However, compared to a few days ago, the faces of these children of aristocratic families were less fearful and more determined.
Because they knew very well that behind them was the leader Lu Lianhai.
"Everyone, get ready and form an array!" Lu Lianhai said as the elephant power around him started to work.
The camera switched to the area where the Zheng brothers were, which had just suffered a major earthquake.
After the earthquake, half of the candidates were eliminated.
These children had no idea that for most of the journey it was calm and calm, but that the color of the sky and the earth would change in the blink of an eye. A major earthquake occurred in the originally flat plain area.
No need to ask, this is naturally the natural disaster level set by the Royal Academy.
It's just that the smooth road before has made them take it lightly, which caused the team to suffer heavy losses.
The Zheng brothers reacted quickly in order to rescue the people in their own team. Zheng Shuduan materialized a dozen high-speed chariots in one breath to come to the rescue.
Unfortunately, it was too late in the end, and most of the candidates fell directly onto the ground.
When the ground returned to its original state, Zheng Runze was already kneeling on the ground crying.
"Damn it, just a little bit, almost! We can save them." Zheng Runze said with red eyes, "Brother, these people are not really going to die!"
Uncle Zheng was speechless.
Although the Royal Academy said it would ensure the safety of candidates, these people have fallen underground. How can they be saved?
But Zheng Shuduan couldn't bear to tell his brother this cruel reality. And looking at the tragic scene, Zheng Shuduan actually couldn't bear it. You must know that he himself is just a child under ten years old!
"Okay, Runze, now is not the time to be sad." Zheng Shuduan said to Zheng Runze, "Cheer up! This exam is not over yet!"
