When the countdown ended, the winner-group assessment officially started!
With a flash of the light screen, Lin Yuan and the other four were teleported to a platform in the Floating Pavilion.
This time, their formation was adjusted. Lin Yuan stood in the middle of the team. Chu Yao and Hua Ruobing walked side by side in the front row, while Shen Haotian and Gu Changfeng stayed in the back row, keeping a certain distance from the main group and quietly dispersing on the way.
Soon, Xu Xingchen of Tianshen Team 3 led his team and appeared.
The opposing team clearly had already formulated a strategy. As soon as they saw Yunmeng Team 2's setup and noticed the absence of certain members, they wasted no time. Tianshen Team 3 dashed forward immediately, bringing about a five-to-three showdown.
The battle erupted!
Chu Yao dodged a slashing attack, and then she swung her dagger in a counterattack. The blade light flashed, but it was blocked by the opponent's shield. The recoil force made her take half a step back. Hua Ruobing used a palm strike to repel the approaching enemy and nimbly moved around the battlefield. However, the opponent's attacks were relentless, giving her no chance to catch her breath.
Lin Yuan quickly cast his support skills, providing shields for his teammates. But outnumbered, the three had to fight while retreating.
"Bang!"
After a confrontation, Hua Ruobing was pushed back several steps by the opponent's attack. Her steps faltered slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"This won't work if it continues like this," Lin Yuan said in a low voice.
"We can only retreat!" Chu Yao responded immediately.
The three quickly adjusted their tactics. While counterattacking in defense, they kept retreating and were forced all the way to the edge of the "Ladder Corridor"!
"What's wrong? No more running?" Xu Xingchen lingered nearby, his gaze boring into Lin Yuan and his companions. A knowing smirk tugged at his mouth.
The other two members of Yunmeng Team 2, Shen Haotian and Gu Changfeng, obviously weren't with them.
"Where are your teammates?" Xu Xingchen asked slowly, trying to extract information from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan glanced at the surrounding terrain. A mysterious smile crossed his face. He casually lied, "Them... They're probably making tea on the Ethereal Platform."
"..."
The air fell silent for a second.
Chu Yao couldn't help but turn her head slightly and glanced at Lin Yuan. There was a hint of a wry smile in her eyes.
Xu Xingchen furrowed his brows. He clearly didn't quite believe this statement, but he wasn't in a hurry either. Just as he was about to continue asking...
"Crack!"
Suddenly, the ground under their feet trembled slightly. Then, tiny cracks began to spread on the stone slabs!
Everyone's faces changed slightly. The very next moment, the entire expanse started crumbling! "What on earth?!"
Dust flew up, and the stone slabs kept crumbling downwards. Lin Yuan, Xu Xingchen, and the others all lost their balance. Everyone reacted instinctively as they fell!
The crisis erupted immediately!
====================
倒计时结束,胜者组考核正式开始!
光幕一闪,林远五人被传送到空中楼阁的一处平台.
这一次,站位有所调整,林远站在队伍中央,楚瑶与华若冰并肩走在前排,而沈昊天与顾长风则留在了后排,与主队拉开一定距离,并在途中悄然分散.
不久后,天神3队的许星辰率队出现.
对方显然早已制定了战术,看到云梦2队的队形并且发现少人后,迅速采取行动,几乎是在瞬间,天神3队便冲了上来,形成了一场五打三的局面!
战斗爆发!
楚瑶闪身躲开一记劈砍,反手挥出匕首,刀光掠过,却被对方的盾挡下,反震力让她退了半步.华若冰则一掌震开逼近的敌人,灵活游走于战场之中,但对手的攻击如影随形,根本不给她喘息的机会.
林远迅速施展辅助技能,为队友提供护盾,但面对人数劣势,三人只能边打边退.
"嘭!"
华若冰在一次对拼后,被对方的攻击震退了几步,脚步微微一顿,额角渗出细汗.
"这样下去不是办法." 林远低声道.
"只能撤退!" 楚瑶立刻回应.
三人迅速调整战术,在防守反击的同时不断后撤,一路被逼到 "天梯回廊" 的边缘!
"怎么不跑了?" 许星辰站在不远处,目光锐利地打量着林远三人,嘴角勾起一抹意味深长的笑意.
云梦2队的其他两人,沈昊天和顾长风,显然没有和他们在一起.
"你们的队友呢?" 许星辰缓缓问道,试图从林远口中套取信息.
林远扫了眼周围的地形,脸上露出一抹神秘的笑容,随口胡诌道:"他们啊...现在应该在飘渺台泡茶吧."
"..."
空气瞬间安静了一秒.
楚瑶忍不住微微侧头,看了林远一眼,眼中带着一丝哭笑不得的神色.
许星辰皱了皱眉,显然不太相信这个说法,但他也不急,刚准备继续追问...
"咔嚓!"
突然,脚下的地面微微震颤了一下,接着是细碎的裂缝在石板上蔓延!
众人脸色微变,下一秒,整片区域开始坍塌!
"什么?!"
尘埃飞扬,石板不断向下崩落,林远,许星辰等人纷纷失去平衡,在坠落的瞬间,所有人下意识地做出反应!
危机,瞬间爆发!
