Chapter 166 Training 14
The Phantom Rangers were really exhausted after dealing with more than a hundred aliens. Although they were just smashing rocks from beginning to end and did not fight the aliens with their bare hands, they put all their strength into each rock smash.
After collecting all the corpses of the alien beasts, the Phantom Team, with almost all their energy exhausted, managed to walk more than 20 kilometers and left that bloody place. Finally, they could no longer hold on and found a relatively flat hillside, where they wrapped themselves in beast skins and fell into a deep sleep.
Mai Dongzi sat in a position where he could keep an eye on all directions and return to provide assistance in time, guarding everyone's safety.
It is because of her being the guard that the Phantom Team members dare to sleep so soundly like this.
Mai Dongzi also looked tired. In this battle, she suppressed a level 7 monster, three level 6 monsters, and more than a dozen level 1 monsters at the same time. In addition, the subsequent battles consumed a lot of her mental power. Now she only has 30% of her mental power left.
As they were unable to take energy potions to recover and their companions' physical strength was almost completely consumed, she did not dare to continue expending her energy and could only observe the surroundings with her eyes.
Her physical energy consumption was relatively low, only more than half was consumed. Even if she was not in good spirits, she was confident that she could protect her partner.
Although Zhuang Huiya's cultivation was not as strong as that of the Moonlight Element, he could see that his cousin had also consumed a lot of energy in this battle. Therefore, when he was tired and dozing off, he was very concerned about his cousin.
After his strength had recovered by half, he forced himself to wake up and prepare to take over from his cousin so that she could have a rest.
"You have only recovered half of your strength. Go back to sleep. We will need a longer time to travel later. You can carry me on your back and then rest." Mai Dongzi said.
Now everyone in the Phantom Team already knows that they are cousins, so no one would think there is anything wrong with letting Zhuang Huiya carry her.
Although Zhuang Huiya looked gentle, the children of poor families had to grow up early. He was not a flower raised in a greenhouse, with strong energy and endurance. With his current cultivation level, carrying her on his back would not add much burden.
In this way, not only can everyone travel farther, but they can also have a good rest.
After hearing Mai Dongzi's arrangement, Zhuang Huiya was sure that her cousin looked fine, so she fell asleep again.
Because their journey was far behind schedule, the Phantom Team changed their rest time and only rested for four hours a day, and the rest of the time was on the road.
In order to allow everyone to get enough rest time to recover their physical strength, the guardians are all Mai Dongzi.
So every day when they started to rush, the two instructors of the racing team would see Mai Dongzi sleeping on the back of Zhuang Huiya.
At this time, Moonlight will become the acting team leader, and will not alarm Mai Dongzi unless he encounters a monster that he cannot deal with.
Although everyone else said that they could take turns carrying the captain with Zhuang Huiya, both Zhuang Huiya and Mai Dongzi refused.
"It's his luck to have such a cousin." Instructor Shan sighed.
The Phantom Team members just thought that the captain wanted to give them more rest time and relax, so the captain was on duty every time they rested. When they were on their way, she rested on Zhuang Huiya's back.
However, the two instructors could see that Mai Dongzi did this not only for this reason, but also for another reason, which was to take this opportunity to temper Zhuang Huiya.
Because they set out earlier, the wind was still strong at this time. Zhuang Huiya carried a person on his back and climbed up and down hills, trying not to fall behind, which wore down his physical strength.
In this harsh environment, not only his physical strength but also his mentality was worn out.
It just happened to fully stimulate the effect of the warrior training potential enhancing potion that had not yet been fully consumed in his body, and could also slightly enhance his training potential.
Not to mention the instructors, even the first-year students in the command department almost all knew how much progress Zhuang Huiya had made under Mai Dongzi's training.
The Phantom Team rushed for six days, and the more they walked, the more worried their faces became.
They had already tried their best. Not only did they not make up for the lost mileage, they also barely managed to complete the mileage they had to walk every day. In fact, they had walked twice as much distance.
It was impossible to increase the travel time any further because they encountered too many groups of alien beasts along the way and they needed sufficient physical strength to fight.
The highest level of the aliens encountered by the Phantom Team after that day was only level 6, and the number was basically around 40 or so.
Although these can be hunted down relatively easily without much danger, they do slow down their progress and, more importantly, increase their physical energy consumption.
Without sufficient rest time, your physical strength cannot recover, and it will become a vicious cycle day after day.
But if they don't increase their travel time, they won't be able to reach their destination on time if they continue like this.
When the Phantom Team's faces were wrinkled with embarrassment, their captain finally told them the good news.
If they walked for another day, they would be able to leave this hilly area.
In fact, they also felt it a little bit, because since the day before, they could obviously feel that the wind was much stronger. If this situation was not due to a change in the weather, then the terrain began to change.
But without confirmation, they did not dare to hold out hope. Now after hearing the captain's confirmation, hope appeared on everyone's face again. Even in the desert area, the mileage they could cover would be greatly increased.
Mai Dongzi was also very happy. After leaving the hilly area, they would enter the wilderness area. Although she could not "see" what was in the wilderness of Liwa Star, at least they would not be so hungry in a hurry.
With hope, the atmosphere became relaxed. After eating and drinking, the Phantom Team members were in a good mood. Mai Dongzi looked at Durant.
Durant knew at a glance that the captain had something to say to him, and it was something very important. He immediately sat up straight and waited attentively.
"How do you feel about being stuck at a level and unable to advance?" Mai Dongzi asked.
"I felt like I was on the verge of a breakthrough, but I just couldn't take that step," Durant said in surprise.
He was glad that the captain could see the dilemma he was facing, and even happier that the captain asked.
Based on his understanding of the captain, the fact that the captain asked about this matter meant that she was very likely to have a solution.
"Don't you realize that the reason you can't break through is because you have a knot?" Mai Dongzi said.
"No, I don't feel there is any knot, and I haven't entered the breakthrough stage. Even if there is a knot, it hasn't been stimulated yet." Durant really feels that he has no knot.
