Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

The wave pattern is followed by two water bullets, then another wave pattern, and then two more water bullets are thrown out.

Just as the last two water bullets were unleashed, Luo Xuan had already withdrawn the water element.

"Swoosh!!"

The continuous water-based attacks caused the Lava Digger to wail in agony.

The low-temperature water-based attack struck the lava digger, which maintained a high temperature year-round, producing a violent reaction.

The lava digger's originally tough skin began to crack, revealing the flesh beneath.

Its entire body writhed in agony, its lower body slamming into the ground and completely exposed.

However, this did not affect the spider's subsequent attacks at all.

A large amount of venom was precisely sprayed by the spider onto the wounds on the lava digger's body.

As time passed, the lava digger gradually became still and lay motionless on the ground.

Luo Xuan was not careless. He sent the Demon Spider forward cautiously to finish off the Lava Digger, ensuring it was completely dead.

Luo Xuan gained another 30 points, but he wasn't very happy.

Compared to the previous effortless acquisition of 46 points, this time the 30 points felt somewhat tense and strained.

While Luo Xuan's decision not to deploy water elementals from the outset is one reason, it also reflects that the current combat style has roughly reached its limit.

If you go deeper, you're almost certain to encounter even more powerful monsters, but this will also consume a lot of your water elemental state.

The trial has only been going on for less than an hour, and Luo Xuan doesn't plan to go all in right away.

Therefore, Luo Xuan did not intend to go any deeper, but instead began to move laterally, preparing to simply accumulate a certain number of points first.

After that, he will be able to make his own decisions with ease. With enough points to back him up, Luo Xuan would even dare to try sealing the rift.

Wiping the sweat from his brow again, Luo Xuan looked at the several volcanoes standing in the distance. He was confident that there was a chance there was a fissure there.

However, Luo Xuan was neither able to go nor prepared to go.

This amount of time is enough for Luo Xuan to assess the difficulty of this trial space.

Based on what we have learned so far, the difficulty of this assessment is undoubtedly extremely high.

Luo Xuan relies on Azathoth for more than 80% of his strength, but this environmental suppression has greatly reduced the water element's endurance in the re-enactment.

Basically, he's like Ultraman whose red light goes off after three minutes of fighting, but he doesn't even have Ultraman's strength.

If the environment were different and water-based, Luo Xuan might be able to try sealing the rift using the water element.

However, given the fiery environment, Luo Xuan shook his head; it was basically unrealistic.

Next, Luo Xuan continued to lead the Demon Spider to find a suitable target, trying his best to prevent the water element from intervening.

What Luo Xuan didn't know was that in less than an hour of the game's start, more than half of the players had already been eliminated.

The vast majority of these eliminated players had zero points, with only a very small number holding some points.

"Isn't the difficulty of the assessment set a bit too high?"

Zhao Wenjie frowned as he watched Luo Xuan search for and hunt monsters in the outer area to gain points, showing no intention of going deeper into the area.

You know, he had just praised Luo Xuan a little in front of the director, so wasn't Luo Xuan's "living a life of ignominy" attitude a slap in the face to him?

Even if he could understand it in his heart, did Luo Xuan, as a young man, not have any vigor and drive?

The other candidate, Li Feng, performed even worse than Luo Xuan. His talent meant that he needed to lead a large army to maximize the effect of his talent.

However, the unique environmental suppression effect of this force means that the more troops there are, the greater the suppression and damage they suffer.

The more troops Li Feng has, the stronger he becomes, thanks to his talent.

The more troops Li Feng has, the weaker his strength becomes under the pressure of the environment.

Doesn't this just become a case of being stubborn and blocking both ends?

Seeing Li Feng's disheveled appearance in the desert, Zhao Wenjie had already given up hope on him.

That's why he asked Xia Xuqiu the question earlier.

"No, the difficulty level is about the same."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xuqiu looked at the remaining players on the screen and replied.

"Those who were eliminated before will still be eliminated no matter what model is changed."

"And why do you think we're conducting this assessment?"

"A fool who can't see his own strength, an idiot who has no clear understanding of himself, a piece of trash who gets ahead temporarily by luck and cheating."

"What's the point of these people advancing even if they do?"

"On the contrary, those who have a clear understanding of their own abilities, know what they can do and to what extent, know when to advance and when to retreat, and understand gains and losses, will be useful in the future."

Xia Xuqiu spoke at length, explaining that as the head of the Logistics Support Section, she was frequently transferred to higher-level units to assist in research.

This trial space is the result of the collaborative efforts of researchers across the country.

As a result, Xia Xuqiu learned secrets that many people could never access, and even knew more about certain areas than Director Jiang Xu.

The others in the room knew Xia Xuqiu quite well, so apart from Jiang Xu, they all lowered their heads and pondered upon hearing this.

On the surface, this assessment was a national effort to combat the terrorist organization, the evil cult, but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye.

. . . . . .

The assessment is still ongoing, and three hours have passed. Luo Xuan has accumulated 325 points.

However, as a price, the water elemental's health was reduced to 80%, and the spider was also in poor condition, suffering some minor injuries.

Luo Xuan found a slope, found a sturdy rock, and squatted down to rest for a while.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sit, it was just too hot.

Even though the water elemental used Water Bomb to temporarily cool it down, the water on the ground evaporated in no time.

The humidity actually made it even hotter.

The air was already saturated with water vapor, so the cooling effect was extremely poor, making Luo Xuan feel even worse.

Luo Xuan silently calculated his points in his mind, "I wonder how many points everyone else got? Where do I rank?"

For the next three hours, Luo Xuan barely stopped, repeating the process of finding monsters, fighting monsters, finding monsters, and fighting monsters again.

However, after three hours of hard work, I only got a little over 300 points, which is only a quarter of the base score for sealing the rift.

This inevitably led Luo Xuan to look towards the distant volcanic cluster.

However, after thinking for a while, Luo Xuan slowly shook his head.

Putting aside the fact that he doesn't know the location of the crack and has to search for it slowly.

Even if Luo Xuan were told the exact location of the rift now, it would still take him a lot of effort to get there.
