Chapter 196 Northern Foreign Aid, Interstellar Space Combat

north.

The night was cold and gloomy, shrouded in perpetual darkness, isolated from the world.

The advantages that led to reversals in other battlegrounds seemed irrelevant here; time itself seemed to stand still.

Looking at the devastated environment around her, which resembled the end of the world, Xue sighed deeply, carrying a badly damaged golden divine bow on her back.

Ugh.

as predicted.

In just 30 minutes, the illusory world of blazing sun and sea of ​​fire underwent another dramatic change.

The two stars working together have become a lone star illuminating the night sky!

Its power has not diminished; on the contrary, it has become even more unfathomable.

What should they do next?

And where are the new illusion array points hidden?

But Xue looked up in confusion, her mind a complete blank.

Inside a cave where you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Shang Tianqi gritted his teeth, leaning weakly against the rough stone wall, panting heavily. He slammed his fist on the ground and cursed under his breath:

"Damn it, I almost managed to destroy the second array point!"

"Change, change, change! Why the hell does this damn battlefield have to change for no reason?!"

Despite having escaped death, his wildly beating heart still hadn't calmed down.

Abdomen, thighs, collarbone...

Even the area closest to the heart had a fatal wound the size of a bowl!

If it weren't for the elixir of Laozi in her belly that was keeping her going, constantly radiating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish her body...

Shang Tianqi probably couldn't withstand the continuous, desperate fighting and had already kicked the bucket.

There were still dozens of surviving examinees in the cave, all lying on the ground with bruises and blood all over their faces.

Only the slight rise and fall of their chests proved that they were not dead.

But that's all.

The thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the cave, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

After constant fighting and devastation, the candidates from the Northern Territory were not only forced to scatter, but their divine power was also severely depleted, almost to the point of exhaustion.

Coupled with the harsh environment in the North, everyone had to seize the time to rest and recover.

Some of the less seriously injured healers were also busy. After recovering a little divine power, they quickly went into the dark to help treat the wounds of other seriously injured examinees.

At that moment, a shrill scream suddenly rang out in the cave.

"Aaaaaah, help! I don't want to fight in this battlefield, I want to be rematched! This evil god guarding this place is such a jerk, let me out, I'll do anything you want, waaaaah..."

It turned out that a student was talking in his sleep, and his hands and feet were flailing about.

Hearing the series of screams, Xue rushed in from the cave entrance, leaped forward, and firmly covered the examinee's mouth.

"Ugh..." The screams stopped abruptly.

But Xue whispered, "Quick, everyone hold him down! We mustn't let him attract the evil spirits from outside!"

"That's right! We finally found this cave to rest in!"

With everyone's concerted efforts, the student having nightmares finally calmed down.

House seemingly endless rain.

After a brief respite, the StarNet system's voice rang in everyone's ears again:
[Attention all Northern Expeditionists: Your current conquest progress is 23%, a precarious situation.]

All candidates must hold the line and await support from our side!

The candidates' lips twitched: "..."

They were truly convinced.

Can't we have some good news?!
"Support...it's always the same thing!" Upon seeing this StarNet system message, one of the examinees couldn't help but shudder, complaining in a trembling voice:

"If the second batch of reinforcements from outside doesn't arrive soon, we'll run out of nutrient solutions! Ugh... I'm freezing!"

Other candidates echoed this sentiment:

"Those evil creatures are fucking freaks. After killing them, they can be resurrected immediately in another illusion."

"Yeah! There's no way to kill them all!"

Among the crowd, Shang Tianqi also silently put on the temperature-controlled overcoat that the first batch of reinforcements had sent.

It's no wonder the test takers complained.

One second it was scorching hot, and the next it turned into an extreme cold hell, so cold that it made you shiver.

Even the core array points projected onto the battlefield when the Ten Stars unleashed their divine power were disrupted. Having honed their skills here for so long, the examinees had become somewhat adept at understanding how to break free from the illusion—

That is to destroy the core array point.

In the previous battle, they had successfully destroyed one of the array points.

When one of the array points disappeared, one of the ten stars in the sky disappeared accordingly, and everyone's pressure decreased sharply.

As long as the ten stars remain, the illusion will endure forever.

Unfortunately, even with their combined divine power, they couldn't directly shoot stars into the sky.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have wasted time dodging the evil seed while searching for the corresponding array points in the illusion when the Nine Stars projected their power.

If they continue to waste their energy in the illusion, they will exhaust themselves to death without even the gods guarding this place having to lift a finger.

This is a stalemate.

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

Shang Tianqi frowned and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "I wonder what the situation is like in the other sub-battlefields."

Strange to say.

Since receiving news of the great victory in the western front, their StarNet system has not released any new frontline information.

Therefore, they are completely blind to what is happening outside.

But Xue tilted her head back and drank a cold bottle of nutritional supplement, curled up into a ball, and mumbled a reply:
"Didn't we receive news of the Western Frontier's victory a few days ago?"

"Looking at the map, the battlefields in the west and south are the closest to each other."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the candidates from the Western Territory have already joined up with those from the Southern Territory. They might be close to winning!"

At this point, everyone couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Once we've recovered some of our divine power, we'll continue searching for the array points and try to take down another star..."

However, before Danxue could finish speaking, suddenly—

"Hoohoo!"

A bone-chilling wind suddenly swept through the air!

All the examinees who were touched by the cold wind instantly turned into crystal-clear ice sculptures, unable to move.

not good!

Shang Tianqi, Dan Xue, and the others were all startled at the same time, their muscles tensing to the extreme.

Because this is a sign that the evil seed of illusion is about to reappear!

They've been discovered!

"Brothers and sisters, grab your weapons!"

There was no hesitation.

Shang Tianqi vigorously wiped his face, his eyes blazing with fury, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Prepare to break out!"

"Yes!"

The other examinees in the cave also jumped up in unison, skillfully mobilizing their divine power to defend against the cold wind, while raising their divine weapons to fight back.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense, overwhelming wave of evil creatures swept in.

"kill!"

Shang Tianqi was the first to rush out, and with swift and decisive movements, he killed one ferocious-looking evil creature after another.

Blood flew everywhere, and swords clashed.

The other candidates gritted their teeth and fought tooth and nail, carving out a bloody path to escape.

However, everyone's divine power was severely depleted, and none of them had recovered to their peak condition.

Faced with the overwhelming evil species, they couldn't hold out for long.

Before long, the bloody path was filled with evil seeds again.

"Damn it!" Shang Tianqi glared fiercely at the evil creature in front of him, wishing he could devour its flesh raw.

Just then, a row of advanced starships, neatly arranged, broke through the heavy clouds and flew in from the distant horizon.

"This is!" But Xue looked up and her eyes lit up with surprise.

[Beep, the second batch of reinforcements has successfully arrived at the northern battlefield.]

[Given the urgency of the situation here, the Empire and the Federation have dispatched their military forces to provide support. All candidates from the Northern Territory, please rally your forces and defend the Northern Territory to the death!]

Please remember, we stand with you all!
