Inside the arena, a fierce wind howled, and everyone dragged their heavy steps toward the same goal.
The wind is too strong. What usually takes an hour now takes more than two hours, and that’s without any star beasts appearing.
This open space offered no shelter, unlike the Strange Willow Forest, where the willow branches, though indiscriminately attacking, blocked most of the wind. So, to avoid being blown away, the military academy students basically walked hand in hand.
The group was unusually silent. Unless absolutely necessary, no one spoke, because if they opened their mouths, they would inevitably get a mouthful of dust blown in by the wind.
It’s too peaceful.
Jin Ke looked at the map. They were still more than halfway away from their destination. Apart from the Strange Willow Forest, they had been walking in this environment the whole time, and they couldn’t speak. After two days, the atmosphere in the group became increasingly dull.
Other military academies probably fell into a similar situation. Apart from the appearance of light screens and broadcasts on the first and second days, by the third day, everything seemed to have stopped, and only the raging wind and dust proved that time was still passing.
The environment of the Xuanfeng Arena is both complex and simple. Although there are various environments, the conditions are fixed.
If you look at a live aerial view of the stadium, you’ll see a completely flat area like this stretching across the entire field. All military academy students have to walk along this route to get to the finish line.
“How much longer until we can get out of here?” Young Master Liao couldn’t help but ask, taking a mouthful of air with his mouth open. He was a talkative man, having been holding back for the past few days.
Jin Ke didn’t reply immediately, but waited for a moment when the wind subsided before saying, “We’ll be at the Pumice Forest soon.”
At this time, Damocles Military Academy did not have a complete understanding of the Pumice Forest. They only heard the word “forest” and thought that the wind would be blocked a lot after entering.
Half an hour later, everyone looked up at the scene before them: “……”
“This could kill someone, right?” Liao Runing exclaimed in shock.
“To reach the finish line, we must pass through this Pumice Forest,” Jin Ke said.
The finish line platform for each competition is not fixed; the organizers determine its location based on the overall strength of each military academy at the time. This year’s military academy students are among the strongest in previous years, so the difficulty level is naturally higher.
Just as the name suggests, the Pumice Forest consists of countless huge stones floating in the air, forming a stone forest.
These pumice stones aren’t subject to gravity; they were blown up by the strong winds, which gives you an idea of how powerful the winds were. If the wind had been constant, it wouldn’t have been so bad, but the problem is that the winds came and went.
Once the wind stops, all the stones that were blown up will immediately fall to the ground, and if they don’t dodge in time, they will be injured.
“The gap is large enough that the mecha should be able to get in,” Huo Xuanshan said after observing the floating stone forest for a while.
Jin Ke nodded: “Mechs can enter, but heavy mecha soldiers need to be careful. Your mechas are the largest, but their agility is slightly lacking. If the wind stops and rocks fall, you need to be careful while standing on the ground. At this time, each squad’s light soldiers need to observe their squad’s heavy soldiers.”
After all communication was completed, Damocles Military Academy began to enter the Pumice Forest, with everyone inside their mechas.
