Even though they were fully mentally prepared, everyone still did not expect that the trial would be so difficult. Before it officially started, everyone stopped outside the heavy clouds and was in a dilemma.
"I wonder how Duan Xiaojian is doing."
Xiao Xiao suddenly put away his calculations, looked at the rolling sea of clouds at his feet, and murmured: "You must know what is going on below so you can make further plans."
It only took Zheng Qing a second to realize that the wizard who was the first to rush into the clouds was Duan Xiaojian! He didn't know whether to praise his courage, lament his recklessness, or mourn his death in silence.
Bad luck.
While several hunters from the Forgiveness Hunting Team hesitated, a few more young wizards bravely folded their wings and plunged into the anvil-shaped gray-black cumulonimbus clouds at their feet.
But apart from those slender lightning bolts and rolling clouds and mist, the observers could not get any more useful information. They could not even find the pattern of the appearance of those lightning bolts - it seemed that as long as foreign objects entered the clouds, they would be affected by lightning.
attack.
"I have a set of lightning protection robes. It would be nice if the school would let me wear them."
"Oh, the trial meeting is originally to test our adaptability... If we are allowed to carry foreign objects at will, what is the point of the test?"
"You are objective and rational, then you tell us what we should do?"
"Can anyone avoid the magic of thunder and lightning?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qing plucked his ears, shook his head slightly in his heart, and retracted his attention. He had just been eavesdropping on the discussion of other teams. Almost everyone had the same view - use magic or potions to avoid lightning attacks.
But just as everyone knows that the Philosopher's Stone can make people immortal, and the key lies in where to find the Philosopher's Stone, the only question now is which magic can protect people from lightning.
"Brother scumbag, do you know the lightning protection talisman?" Zhang Jixin interrupted the young public-funded student's distraction and asked with a serious expression.
Zheng Qing felt like he had eaten shit when he heard that code name. He shook his head with a dark face: "No, and there is not enough time... This is not a good place to draw symbols."
He is indeed good at drawing talismans, but in this place where he has no influence on the world or the ground, it is too difficult for him to draw talismans that he has never drawn before.
"I wonder if I can go around it..." The fat man didn't say anything, but shook his head.
Zheng Qing understood his frustration very well.
The rolling sea of clouds below was beyond the horizon. As far as the eye could see, there was no trace of the earth's surface. Instead, in the sky, you could see the golden edge plated by the sun on the edge of the clouds.
"It would be good if it was on the ground," Jiang Yu frowned and sighed slightly: "I do know a few lightning protection magic arrays, which were passed down by elders in the family who have survived thunder tribulations... But those magic arrays require earth veins.
and the support of earth energy.”
"Can transformation be used to avoid lightning strikes?"
Zheng Qing's eyes lit up: "I still have a few transformation potions here!"
After he heard the word 'transcending tribulation', he subconsciously thought of the concepts that Professor Yao and Professor Yi had discussed in front of him a long time ago. For example, Moore's law, information disturbance, or Subhuti conjecture.
"cannot."
Xiao Xiao replied in a calm voice: "Transfiguration can avoid disasters caused by the wizard himself, but it cannot avoid disasters caused by nature... We are like foreign objects falling into the eyes of nature."
The discussion reached an impasse again.
Everyone knew the solution, but no one could come up with a reliable solution. Only classmate Li Meng fluttered a pair of small wings, rising and falling beside the young hunters, flying happily.
Time passed by, and several groups of young wizards tried to set up hunting formations to attack the thunderclouds. This time, all the stranded people could clearly see that those hunting formations were swarmed shortly after entering the thundercloud layer.
And the lightning above tore it apart.
"There's no time."
The red-faced wizard took a deep breath, stepped out of the crowd, looked around, and said firmly: "The school will not arrange an unsolvable trial like being struck to death by lightning, but we must also fall as soon as possible before the magic power is exhausted.
...According to the explorations of the previous teams, both hunting formations and plants can isolate lightning attacks to a certain extent."
"Plants can choose a binding spell," Xiao Xiao pushed up his glasses and added quickly: "You need to put away the flying spell later, curl up as much as possible, and then wrap yourself with vines...how thick can you wrap it?
how thick."
"For the hunting formation, I suggest a long snake formation." Fatty Xin also gave his own opinion: "The elder and I are thick-skinned, one can open the way in front, the other can hold the formation from behind, and you guys are in the middle..."
"I'll hold on to the battle."
Zheng Qing picked his ears again, interrupted the fat man's suggestion, and shook his head: "I am the captain of the forgiveness team... This is not trying to be a hero, I know what I am talking about."
As he spoke, he tapped his head with his index finger and said with a smile: "I cherish my life more than you all... As for you, Fatty, if you become a blue giant after being stunned, you will definitely turn into a blue giant."
Roast pig.”
"You are the pig!" Xin muttered dissatisfiedly, but did not distinguish it for a moment. Apparently, he felt that Zheng Qing's statement had some truth.
Time is running out.
The young wizards did not have time to carefully figure out this plan that was full of loopholes. After confirming the plan and the backward order, several people lined up in mid-air in the order of Zhang Jixin, Xin, Xiao Xiao, Jiang Yu (Li Meng), and Zheng Qing.
a row.
"Remember, after putting away the flying spell, use the binding spell to capture your companions in front and behind as soon as possible!"
"Then start stacking binding spells all around."
"The earth will pull us through the thunderclouds."
"Now, everyone is in position and ready!" Zhang Jixin floated at the head of the team, his eyes looking at his teammates one by one: "Five, four, three, two, one, get over it!"
With the last hoarse cry, the two pairs of translucent mayfly wings behind the red-faced wizard suddenly disappeared, and the magic afterbirth that was originally wrapped around his body slowly shattered after a few final struggles.
"Ge Zhi Tan Xi, give it to the fat man!"
"Ge Zhi Tan Xi, Shi Yu Doctor!"
"Ge Chan is tired of it!"
"Ge Chan is tired of it!"
"Ge Chan is tired of it!"
Five rays of green and green light suddenly lit up, and a green rainbow seemed to appear in the sky. Vines of different thicknesses sprang out of thin air and spread crazily in the sky.
Seeing the vines he had summoned tightly binding Jiang Yu and Li Meng in front of him, Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could even speak, he felt his whole body sinking and being pulled by the vines.
Then, it fell heavily downwards.
Grass!
The boy cursed secretly in his heart, suddenly realizing a huge risk.
They considered the connection of magic, the deformation of the hunting array, the ability of different team members to withstand lightning, and even the difficulty of recasting the flying spell after passing through the thundercloud layer, so they waited until the last few minutes.
Make sure that everyone's Dharma book has at least two flying spells copied.
The only thing that was ignored was the thin layer of magic covering them, which was thousands of meters high in the sky.
