1668 Prompt and Resolute Decision!
At that moment, the audience members on Star Web were all holding their breaths.
Most of them had started out spectating the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection out of interest and switched between their favorite contestants.
But once the first dimensional rift opened three hours later and Black sent the sand castle into the air, the audience members were all shocked to the core by Lin Yuan’s ability to change geography.
More and more of them started paying attention to Black.
As the number of contestants gathered at the center increased and the defenses were constructed, the audience was excited to switch between the perspective views of the contestants at the center to watch them fight against the alien beast tide.
But when the fight really began, Ji Changdeng and Liu Wencheng’s misjudgment caused the contestants to struggle to the point that they found it difficult to draw breath.
At that moment, Black changed the geography outside of the central territory into a sea of moving sand.
The sea of sand had enveloped all the alien insects and abyss beasts in an instant, halting the alien beast tide.
This gave the contestants at the center a chance to stage a comeback.
The eight seas of flowers had also appeared in the sea of sand.
Finally, the audience members got to see Black utilize a second fey.
Black’s two feys used breathtaking methods.
Every member of the audience was so stunned that they did not know what to do with themselves.
Although they knew that there were thousands of contestants in the central territory who were doing their best to construct the base, this did not come close to the excitement of watching the seas of flowers fight against the alien beast tide.
After watching the sea of flowers battling the alien beast wave, the battle between the few alien beasts that made it through the sea of flowers to take on the contestants seemed rather dull by comparison.
However, the pinnacle Class 2 abyss dimensional rift that opened above the central territory made everything interesting again.
After the pinnacle Class 2 abyss dimensional rift did its job of delivering justice, it turned into a headache for the remaining contestants.
Some contestants had been reassigned to help the center of the base, and the number of experts there had increased to almost 26,000.
However, the number of contestants fighting the alien beasts that were trying to fight their way in from the outer layers had dropped by half.
Presently, only around 12,000 contestants were left.
Besides the healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals who had been protected, almost every other contestant’s feys were injured.
Wounds also decorated the spirit qi professionals themselves.
But this did not mean that the healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals were having a good time.
In fact, they were in worse shape because they were completely emptied of spiritual energy,
They were so weak that they could no longer stand properly. Yet, they still insisted on healing the other experts’ near-dead feys.
Although only 1,0000 experts were left, they were much more experienced than when they started out.
Wilderness survival could raise a person’s various abilities.
Objectively, the over 50 people who first joined Li Nao were not of equal strength. They only enjoyed authority within the central territory because they were the first to join Li Nao’s team.
But now, less than 20 of those 50 people were left.
This meant that this test was not a favorable environment for luck.
Normally, those in the central territory should be leading their team to provide reinforcements to the frontline, just like what Li Nao was doing.
If they lost their might, they would not be able to make it to one of the final ten contestants.
A person’s strength did not just come from their power but also their ability to communicate, adapt, and be resilient, among other traits.
When one was trying to survive in the wild, it was a test of whether they were truly strong.
There were a few people who had been unable to join a group at the beginning but had gained many protectors now because of the authority that Li Nao afforded them.
These people were able to distinguish themselves because they had exceptional leadership qualities.
However, the more capable one was, the more responsibility one would have to shoulder.
These people had gained a significant amount of authority but also had to offer a lot more than others.
The Folded Wings Purple Wolf had been attacked by a group of Smooth Flying Jumping Demons, and there were now many large holes in its wings.
The Smooth Flying Jumping Demon was one of the rare Class 3 abyss demons that used venom.
The venom hidden within the Smooth Flying Jumping Demon’s nails and teeth could produce strong hallucinogens that turned its target violent.
The Platinum IV/Fantasy II Folded Wings Purple Wolf had been a force to be reckoned with as it used bolts of electricity to launch long-range attacks at the flying abyss demons and alien insects.
However, the Folded Wings Purple Wolf had fallen under the influence of the Smooth Flying Jumping Demon’s venom and had escaped Li Nao’s control.
It started to wildly launch bolts of lightning in all directions.
It killed all the contestants in a 500-meter-radius and resulted in many teams losing close to 1,000 members.
Hence, while the Folded Wings Purple Wolf was struggling to break out of the control of the Smooth Flying Jumping Demon, Li Nao had no choice but to use his other main fey, the Rotten Spotted Sky Dog, to bite the Folded Wings Purple Wolf to death.
Luckily, the fight was taking place on Star Web.
He might not be able to make the same decision if this battle was taking place in reality.
He used to be a Radiance Hundred Sequence member and had his fair share of survival training.
As such, he would eventually still make the same decision if this was reality. He could not allow 1,000 people to die in place of his fey.
As a leader, he had to do what needed to be done even if the Folded Wings Purple Wolf’s death would cause his power to plummet.
At that moment, most people’s eyes were on Li Nao.
The Folded Wings Purple Wolf’s death allowed all of them to realize that this was war.
Although all of them were elites, they were reduced to sorry states when they were fighting a Class 2 dimensional rift.
The audience members started to wonder how the City Guards and Spirit Guards, who fought Class 3 and 4 dimensional rifts during the dimensional rift active period managed to handle it.
Many regular people were completely saved from feeling any effects of the dimensional rift active period when it was happening.
