81: Yellow Sand Trial

His equipment was fully prepared.

Lin Ye was also full of confidence for the duel.

However, the Yellow Sand Trial still needed to be taken seriously to familiarize himself with the Eka Clan's combat methods, lest he suffer an unexpected defeat.

The Yellow Sand Trial was held in the Mohe Clan's only desert.

This desert was called Death Desert; looking out, there was no trace of Life, only violent sandstorms everywhere.

This trial was conducted in batches, with different trial grounds for each level.

Kawi led their group of Fifth-tier individuals.

"This trial is very simple. We, the Mohe Clan, have many Eka Clan prisoners. We've told them in advance that if they eliminate one of you, they can gain freedom. Your task is to survive their furious attacks for five days."

"There are no rules; you can form teams as you like. But let me warn you, don't make your target too big. Their numbers are five times yours."

After Kawi finished speaking, he answered a few questions and then left.

The moment he left, Lin Ye was instantly surrounded by various people hoping to team up.

Lin Ye finally managed to explain clearly that he wasn't teaming up.

If he was already so strong and still teamed up, would that even allow the Oka People on the other side to live?

That would also greatly reduce the training value for him.

Everyone regretfully gave up and formed their own teams.

"Lin Ye, are you really going to go alone?" Bronze Dragon, the curious one, came online.

"Yes, I think a solo trial has more meaning, and there's no real danger this time either." Lin Ye nodded.

Since this was only a trial, the protective measures were very thorough.

"Then I'll also be a one-dragon team." Nio patted his chest, wanting to learn from Lin Ye.

Lin Ye put on his equipment; his cool way of wearing it and his appearance attracted almost everyone's attention. Before anyone could ask, he activated Starlight Miles and quickly departed.

Not long after he started running, the figures of the Eka Clan had already appeared within his perception.

The Eka Clan truly deserved to be called the darlings of the sand.

Hidden in the sand and sandstorms, they were flawless; even Lin Ye's six senses could only vaguely detect their positions.

He didn't activate Star Eyes; fighting in a low-level match without any self-imposed restrictions would result in very poor training effectiveness.

Besides, what was the point of having a full map hack?

He stopped, waiting with interest for the Oka People's attack.

The three Oka People stealthily approaching him sensed something was wrong. Why did this kid stop? However, they communicated in secret and decided that the kid might just want to rest for a while, after all, in the desert, their Oka People's stealth was invincible.

So, they continued their movement.

When the distance was right, they suddenly erupted.

The sand beneath Lin Ye's feet instantly turned into quicksand, threatening to swallow him, and two slender figures shot out from the sand, attacking him from front and back.

Lin Ye wanted to use Inch Step to dodge, but found that the sand actually absorbed Star Power, greatly reducing the effectiveness of movement skills.

What a peculiar spell.

Dodging the attack from behind, he grabbed the spear coming from the front with his left hand and delivered a Cannon Fist with his right.

The Oka Person in front of him was instantly shattered into pieces.

He was careless, used too much force, and didn't leave a complete corpse.

He grabbed the other one, this time hitting a bit lighter, and punched half of this Oka Person's head off.

The Eka Clan mage casting from the shadows was scared out of his wits, desperately urging the sand to increase his escape speed.

Lin Ye had no intention of leaving him alive; he stepped forward with Inch Step, and then Cannon Fist.

The fragile Oka Person was instantly killed.

Placing the two relatively intact corpses together, Lin Ye began his study.

Oka People are 1.5 meters tall, with four arms and two legs, slender bodies, and their overall appearance resembles a yellow-skinned, tailless lizard. Of course, they have no relation to the Lizardfolk race.

This is the standard for ordinary Oka People; mutated individuals can appear among them, becoming generally three meters tall, strong and robust giants, whom they call Warriors.

These three were common Eka Clan Sand Stalkers and Quicksand Mages.

The Eka Clan's Sand Stalkers are extremely skilled in assassination in the desert, and Quicksand Mages also have very strict environmental requirements.

They are considered professions with significant limitations.

Big limitations are not always a bad thing; they can be very strong in suitable situations.

These two common professions are even inferior to regular mages and assassins in normal environments, but in a desert environment, they can rival higher-tier professions.

However, he was now very curious: one of these two races stays in the water and doesn't come out, and the other stays in the sand and doesn't come out. How did they get into conflict?

Curious.

Unfortunately, Blue Star's information blockade on foreign races is quite strict; only high-ranking officials understand the intricacies.

Next, there were no surprises; the opponents he encountered were all easily defeated.

This was the advantage of strong six senses; no one could ambush him.

And by concealing his aura and entering the void, he could still ambush others.

Vacuum Wave was especially good at this, colorless, odorless, and formless, hitting its mark every time.

After eliminating a seven-person Oka Person group, Lin Ye completely lost interest in the Oka People.

But then again, what kind of strong individuals could prisoners be?

So, he stopped wandering around looking for Oka People and found a spot to cultivate.

........

"Leader, that kid is cultivating."

This was a group of over thirty Oka People who had already defeated many contestants.

The reason for their outstanding record was precisely because of the leader at the very front.

Wakeda, a genius of the Eka Clan, a mutated Oka Person Warrior.

He was brave in battle and had outstanding achievements, but was captured in an attack.

However, was he, Wakeda, the kind of reckless hothead? He decisively surrendered and saved his Life.

Brave in battle ≠ will not surrender.

In the Eka Clan, he was a Warrior; in the prison's mine, he was also the number one model worker.

He had originally thought that after being captured this time, the rest of his Life would be spent in the mine of this Death Desert. Although he had gotten used to prison Life and the warden also appreciated him as a model worker, he still yearned for freedom, and he never expected such a heaven-sent opportunity.

He didn't know why the Mohe Clan held this trial, as he had been captured for a long time, but with a chance to gain freedom, he still signed up.

"That kid is truly ruthless; Bash's seven-person squad was wiped out by him."

"He's truly terrifying; our Eka Clan's stealth is like nothing in front of him."

"If Nika couldn't detect from super long range, we wouldn't dare to approach such a fierce person."

"This is for ten spots! If we achieve the goal, all of us brothers can get out."

"Oh, my Marina, my darling, I will definitely return."

.......

Wakeda looked at his noisy subordinates, feeling a bit annoyed.

"Quiet."

He stomped his foot, and the terrifying vibration caused his subordinates to sway precariously.

The subordinates immediately fell silent.

"Nika, are you sure that kid hasn't noticed us?" Wakeda asked.

Nika was a famous geologist. Logically, such a talent would be well protected wherever he was placed, but Nika, whether due to his lack of skill or extreme bad luck, just couldn't produce results.

He had been working for nearly a hundred years and hadn't detected a single decent ore vein.
