The group looked over. Almost 100 faucets were flowing with water.
The flow of water was not too swift but it was enough to pressure them.
It seemed like they were not far from death once encountered with water in this kind of situation where all four sides were covered.
The water submerged their calves in no time.
In a situation with swift water flow, a human’s breathing would be heavier than normal by two to three times when the water level reached the waist level or above.
Helian Wei Wei was most worried to encounter a situation like this when she was out for duty. It would not be so bad if she was alone. However, she was entrusted with Little Bald Head at that moment.
It was thinkable that this unexpected test would not be easy to pass.
Most importantly, none of them was prepared.
They thought that since they just finished the first test, they would have to wait for the next day for their second test.
No one expected that the second test would be coming in only half the time of burning a joss stick.
Helian Wei Wei knew that Tu Sufeng was testing their spontaneous response when their bodies were in extreme tiredness and their minds were relaxed.
However, she was not expecting that the opposite party would do this even though Little Seven was still there.
“Turn back!” Yun Biluo reacted immediately!
However, it was already too late!
The volume of water from almost 100 faucets exceeded their estimation. The next moment, the water level in the tunnel reached their waists immediately!
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes and placed Little Seven to higher ground so that he would not be swept away by the current.
When Han Yu unraveled the net rope and came out again, the water had already flooded his neck.
Everyone was swimming back and forth crazily. When people were facing death, their reaction would be to sign up without any exceptions.
“Third Aunt.” The little one did not know how to swim. With a tight frown, he struggled and asked Helian Wei Wei, “If there are fish in the water, I could still live a little longer.”
Helian Wei Wei was speechless. What does this have anything to do with whether there are fish? She really did not know anything about being a foodie.
“You guys, cough, are you guys not leaving yet?” Han Yu choked on water bubbles while he was talking.
Helian Wei Wei did not talk any further because the water level had already reached her eyes. What they need to do at that moment was to maintain their stamina!
According to logical thinking, this is actually a test, which means there must be a way to get out of here.
However, the solution is definitely not walking back.
Because by turning back…
Helian Wei Wei did not have the mood to ponder about it. She could feel her brain swell a little, a human’s basic reaction underwater.
Progressively, they could not see anything in the tunnel except for water. However, there was one thing to be thankful for. The clarity of vision in the water was very clear and there was also a night illuminating pearl in the tunnel.
However, it would be a torment for human beings to open their eyes for a long period of time.
Little Seven did not know how to swim. He was clearly not suitable to be in the water for a long time.
Helian Wei Wei clenched her teeth and wanted to just turn back while dragging him.
However, the people who went to the exit swam back and knocked on the wall desperately while they were underwater as if they were looking for another exit!
Yun Biluo was in the best situation as she gathered all her martial Qi. The martial Qi lingered around her and gave her a short time to breathe.
The others started to learn from her to gather up their martial Qi when they saw what she did.
This method was indeed useful for a short time but it was fatal.
Those who are lacking in martial Qi would lose all their strength after using this method.
“Help!”
Someone could not take it anymore. The gleam on his body was starting to disappear while he was trying to reach up desperately.
Helian Wei Wei did not have the ability to take care of the others, she was only focused on dragging the child. She narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on the only different place.
That transparent stone wall.
There was no time to look for any mechanisms. Why not just attack?
“With my orders, I command the wind and clouds of the world!”
Helian Wei Wei stood upright in the water suddenly while holding Little Seven in her left hand and exerting force slowly with her right hand. An invisible current poured into her palm.
No one noticed aside from Yuan Ming. This woman once again broke his perception toward humans.
Bang!
Along with the powerful water current, Helian Wei Wei hit the transparent stone wall with her fist.
A cracking sound was heard.
Layers of cracks were formed on the stone wall.
Tu Sufeng looked at her with his usual gentle smile. In contrast, the mentor behind Tu Sufeng frowned heavily.
Bang!
Another hit!
The stone wall broke!
Water was flowing out.
Tu Sufeng took a big step backward.
The rest of the water flowed down the original underground drainage pipe swiftly.
As expected, there were mechanisms everywhere.
Helian Wei Wei’s long black hair was wet. Her first reaction was not to question Tu Sufeng but to lean down and examine Little Seven’s eyes.
She pressed his chest twice. Her movement was swift and professional.
Even Tu Sufeng had a slightly surprised look.
As the little one spat out three mouthfuls of water, the others walked over one after another.
Yun Biluo was not in a panicked situation. However, the unexpected situation made her less stable than before.
The other two were feeling even worse. They were coughing constantly after they came out. Their eyes were red and they were lying on the ground without any strength left.
Even Han Yu was supporting himself with one leg. His good-looking face showed fatigues.
“Congratulations, all of you are still alive.” Tu Sufeng paced up and said, “We have to face sudden dangers like these sometimes. When we go out to carry out orders, no one can guarantee your absolute safety. Thus, the first lesson of joining the Battle Spirit Forces is to learn to protect our own lives.”
He looked at Yun Biluo and said, “Yun Biluo’s reaction was very fast and she also thought of using martial Qi as a defense. That’s a good idea but I do not suggest everyone to do so because using martial Qi to support is too strenuous. Compared to that, I would prefer to see you with good observation skills. There was a button that you can press to escape on your left hand. You turned back one after another but that was a waste of time. No one will give you a chance to retreat when you’re facing your enemies.”
Tu Sufeng fixed his gaze at Helian Wei Wei. “The reward this time is all yours.”
There was no need for any explanation as Helian Wei Wei was the one who broke the stone wall.
Han Yu recovered and gathered his curiosity. “Hey woman, how did you notice that there is a problem with the stone wall?”
“By exclusion and reverse thinking, it was impossible to turn back. This was a test. If you were the person setting up this test, you would definitely block the way in. There are always mechanisms in the tunnel. The materials used to set up the mechanisms are often not so solid and they will certainly be easier to break than other areas.” It was easy for Helian Wei Wei to explain but not everyone could react the same way as she did.
Tu Sufeng looked at her with admiration.
The mentor frowned even harder…
