Until Sequence 3, when Druids are unlocked, this sequence can directly transmogrify into these five forms.
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, used for combat, used for healing.
Five druids can form a complete combat formation to carry out various battlefield missions.
The Druid sequence is located south of Osham, where there are more awakened members.
Their versatility makes them very useful on the battlefield.
When the challenge to the world first arrived, Osham dominated global military power for a period of time thanks to its Druid sequence.
However, it's unclear whether this is due to a lack of professional training facilities.
Or perhaps Druids are too versatile and lack a top-tier panel.
Soon, it fell into a state of desolation again.
There aren't many druids in Great Xia.
At least for now, the proportion of those who have awakened is less than 3%, which is only slightly more than the criminal sequence.
However, it was still quite novel for Wei Huan to watch the two druids fight as a team in this way.
Tree-men can perform battlefield healing, although it's only a continuous recovery type. But sometimes on the battlefield, even a sliver of blood can save a life.
Furthermore, the Treant's healing effect on other Druids who also believe in the spirits of nature can reach 200%.
My gaze lingered on the two druids for a moment.
Turning my gaze again, I saw a gray figure suddenly appear on the battlefield.
The gray shadow was like a wisp of smoke, or as light as a willow in the wind. As it whistled past, it seemed like a relaxed chuckle.
But the next second, the blood flower burst open right before their eyes.
Blood is like a gemstone, its color shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.
In the blink of an eye, it was like a poignant scene of falling petals. The earthworm's tough body turned into ashes and the black butterfly wings that fell as it burned away scattered on the ground before my eyes.
That's too fast!
It's so beautiful!!
Wherever the blue smoke passed, it was like a lit firework, causing all the earthworms to burst open and lose their shape.
In the blink of an eye, almost all the sandworms in half the pit were killed.
It's [Shadowless]!
[Shadowless] of Gambler Sequence Four.
Following [Ghost Step], Sequence Four [Shadowless] not only has stronger explosive power, but also a larger movement range.
With her high burst damage, she can instantly kill most of the second-tier earthworms, occasionally reaching the third tier, and almost shatter them upon contact.
As the smoke dissipated, a woman dressed in tight black clothes, holding two daggers, darted back into a white car graffitied with a red flag.
She never revealed her face, yet left behind an unforgettable image.
This is a leader in a leader's car.
She made her move.
They easily turned the tide with a single move.
This is precisely the ability that a leader must possess.
Not counting the three cars on Wei Huan's side, there were a total of eight cars for leaders.
It could be a Tier 3 high-spec vehicle, or perhaps a Tier 4 professional.
In short, the reason why the leader's vehicle is called the leader's vehicle is that it must have the strength to suppress a battlefield.
This is precisely
The reason why Wei Huan did not take immediate action after discovering the battle situation.
On the battlefield, everyone has their own mission.
A leader's vehicle must be able to resolve such troubles smoothly.
[Team leader of vehicle #3 has completed combat deployment; the earth worm has been dealt with.]
The woman, Wuying, was clearly unaware that Wei Huan had witnessed the scene and, upon returning to his car, immediately reported the battle situation.
Wei Huan nodded: "Well done."
His words were directly converted into text through the [War System] and sent to the projection screen on the other side.
Then, Wei Huan continued, "Take care of your rest and stay hidden. Vehicles 2 and 4 will be closing in on you. Please adjust your position as soon as possible."
The other end was clearly surprised. Wei Huan seemed to know what she had done, and actually replied: [How did you know?]
But Wei Huan did not answer.
Now is not the time for idle chatter.
He knew that gamblers were truly formidable, yet also incredibly vulnerable.
[Shadowless] just used his ultimate skill and needs time to adjust, otherwise he will not be able to return to the battlefield.
Moreover, the battles to come will only become more intense. Fight, rest, fight again, rest again—ten days of exhaustion would be enough to break everyone down.
certainly.
If things go as Wei Huan expects... this assessment will become much simpler.
"I hope so..."
Wei Huan muttered to himself. He had his own ideas, but he couldn't be sure if the plan would work until it was put into action.
However, at present, the only tactic best suited to his abilities is "positional warfare".
[The screen is filled with your battle reports, it's so annoying! This is a public channel, our Group A also needs to communicate, okay?]
[Why are you suddenly so irritable? Is it because you're unhappy with how Lu Jie led you?]
[Sister Lu has slowed down. After speeding for over an hour and driving 2000 kilometers, she's finally calmed down. It's much more lively over there. I'm starting to regret going there.]
[So what's the situation with Group A? Is Lu Jie also going for a positional playstyle?]
[Hey, I wonder if those people who were shouting so loudly before are embarrassed now?]
Qi Jialu's group
Half a day had passed, and two hours earlier, half of the convoy had already slowed down.
Qi Jialu is not a special profession; she is a very common [wise man].
However, she was favored by the God of Time and awakened time magic in Sequence Three, mastering elements other than the common five elements magic.
When she advances to Sequence Four, she becomes the [Time Mage].
If it's just about carrying a small number of vehicles for rapid collective movement, Qi Jialu's ability can continue indefinitely.
However, a convoy stretching for ten kilometers is still a bit too much.
After driving at breakneck speed for an hour and a half, she finally slowed down completely.
However, Qi Jialu is a woman who likes speed, and she is very clear about the extent to which she can achieve what she is capable of.
So even after slowing down, Qi Jialu continued walking forward at a speed of 500 miles per hour.
And she had only one requirement for the vehicles following her: "50..."
"0 mph, can't keep up with myself."
500 mph is the speed of a mid-range second-class car.
In her view, what is the point of testing a vehicle that dares to sign up for the Level 3 highway test if it doesn't even meet the most basic Level 2 mid-range vehicle standard?
Are you just waiting to be mentored by a big shot?
I'm sorry, but the big shots won't be helping either; they're afraid of being dragged down.
Qi Jialu has been operating on the secondary highway for five years, and the number of bounty hunters under her name is close to a thousand. She has cultivated the 1008 district, and the surrounding 1007, 1009 and 1010 districts are also her territory.
It's safe to say that anyone who works on secondary highways has heard of Sister Lu's name.
Sister Lu is beautiful, Sister Lu is strong, Sister Lu is ruthless.
Qi Jialu issued a notice that cars that hadn't reached 500 miles per hour should leave on their own, and the world chat exploded.
After all, half of the more than 70,000 people in the convoy were just trying to take advantage of the chaos, thinking they had predicted what others had predicted.
Despite lacking the necessary skills, he recklessly entered the assessment road, and now he's unwilling to be abandoned, hurling nasty insults at them in the chat room.
But so what?
Qi Jialu continued driving forward with the cars that met the requirements, not even giving a glance to those who couldn't keep up.
So the once magnificent and imposing army convoy has somehow become a long, thin line.
In the latter half, it gradually became as dilapidated as a homeless vehicle.
Some cars even went astray and crashed into the unclogged hills, disappearing without a trace, with no one knowing whether they could get out.
In other cases, halfway through the journey, the ground suddenly caves in, earthworms emerge, and the car is pulled into the hole.
Cries for help could be heard from time to time in the chat room.
But such a voice disappeared without even a ripple in the storm of information.
Death is a normal part of challenging the world.
But everyone was unwilling to accept this and wanted to live.
Therefore, even if they know that someone has been abandoned or is calling for help, many people only feel pity for a few seconds and then immediately feel relieved that it wasn't them who died.
The car continued driving forward.
They followed closely behind the leader's car.
Although even the leader's vehicle might not be able to protect itself from the dark beasts, as long as it doesn't fall behind, there will always be someone there to lend a helping hand when danger comes.
However, for many cars, keeping up with the main group is too difficult.
Even if some cars reach speeds of 500 mph, the drivers are unable to maintain full concentration and drive effectively because they lack intelligent driving systems.
We fell behind without even realizing it.
Falling behind without realizing it.
Then, in despair, they curse and roar.
Until...
"Boom!!?_[()]?'Come? Read the latest chapter? Full chapter'()"
The earth collapsed, and the wandering monster, the earthworm, emerged from its burrow once more, its enormous body tightly binding the car and pulling it downwards.
"Help! No! No! I don't want to die!"
Shortly after, the car door was opened from the outside, and a tall, thin young man wearing a black iron mask peeked out.
He calmly surveyed the horrific scene inside the vehicle, pressed the button on his headset, and said, "Report: The driver is dead. No rescue personnel have been found."
"()
After the young man finished his report, he closed the car door again.
This author, Jingzhou Xiaoyao, reminds you that the latest chapters of "Highway Survival: God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" are updated first on [website name]. Remember to come here to see the latest and complete chapters.
Before leaving, he muttered to himself, "He didn't even bring any teammates. He's really just here to coast."
The car's features are readily apparent, and it barely reaches the level of a mid-range Tier 2 car.
Even if you have sufficient personal skills and a high-level vehicle, don't overlook the benefits of teaming up during the assessment process.
"pity..."
The young man said this, but his eyes didn't show much regret. After all, he had seen too much along the way and was already very numb.
Besides, if all else fails, wouldn't it be better to be an ordinary person on Earth?
Living simply is also a kind of happiness.
The young man was agile; after emerging from the cave, he jumped into a car parked next to it.
This is a white minivan.
However, on both sides of the car, there are two Chinese flags graffiti.
This is a leader's car.
The leader's car went against the current to return and rescue those who had fallen behind.
Beside the leader's car, more than a thousand vehicles had already gathered, densely packed together and spread across the two hills.
The windows were open, and pairs of eyes were watching, afraid of losing track of the car.
Before getting into the car, the young man shouted, "We still need to search back. You can continue forward to catch up with the other leaders' cars, or you can go to Section B, where the positional flow will be followed. You'll be welcome to join us!"
"Don't follow us, we're heading back!!"
The young man's voice carried far, but to little avail.
These abandoned challengers are like vines that have lost their ability to survive on their own, only able to cling to and depend on the strong for survival.
The young man returned to the car, and the leader's car continued to drive backward, searching along the way for any challengers who were not too far removed from the main group, attempting to rescue them.
The other cars followed them back.
Group A, where Sister Lu was, was thus neatly and decisively divided into two parts.
Besides Lu Jie's main leader car and her own elite cars, the official team only had two leader cars following him.
The remaining six cars carrying the leaders all turned around.
Reorganize the team.
But on this round trip, these lagging Group A convoys were not much faster than the neighboring Group B convoys, which were advancing in a positional, army-like manner.
Especially when news of victory kept ringing out in the chat room.
This left those who thought they had hitched a ride, arrogant and smug, constantly mocking others, ashamed and speechless for a long time.
"The positional warfare strategy also has its advantages. The official strategy has been used for so many years, but the reason it hasn't worked in the last two years is because it has been targeted and attacked by the Dark Beasts."
Our gathering was so sudden that the Dark Beasts might not have even received the news. Perhaps joining Group B's positional strategy would be safer.
At least we don't have to worry about being abandoned or encountering dangerous stray monsters.
After calming down, many of the challengers who were trailing in Group A began to consider this issue.
Moreover, since they dared to divide this battlefield into two groups, A and B.
With a veteran like Qi Jialu anchoring Group A, it's likely that Group B also has a formidable talent.
right.
The B group leader is playing a very conventional, positional style, and it's not time for him to make a move yet, which is why we haven't heard anything about it.
"Could it be Boss Peng Zheng?"
"Yes, I also heard that Boss Peng Zheng has already announced that he will participate in this assessment, and he will openly bid and guarantee that he will pass."
"Yes, yes, I heard that too. The highest price for a pass was 100 million. I heard it could get you into Boss Peng Zheng's car."
"So you mean that Peng Zheng has been recruited by the government?"
...
The assessment began in the 5th hour.
We gathered at 6 a.m. and set off. Five hours have passed since then. The steady and methodical Group B has unknowingly covered 2,000 kilometers.
It was approaching lunchtime, but the convoy did not stop, nor did it stop when it encountered ruins. Naturally, elite vehicles were assigned to explore them.
Regular challengers cannot explore the ruins unless they want to fall behind.
Positional warfare is a safety net tactic; you only need to ensure that 80% of the progress is completed at the end.
Previous tests have shown that at speeds of 400 miles per hour, one cannot explore ruins.
They've already sought official protection, yet they still want supplies? Isn't that insatiable?
All supplies can only be purchased with points.
If you don't have enough points, you can barter, or if that doesn't work, you can use Blue Star Coins.
There are also bottom lines that cannot be crossed by the authorities.
During the march, even going to the toilet was a hurried affair.
However, no one complained about how hard it was, how tired they were, or how they couldn't take it anymore.
Qi Jialu from Group A served as a "control group" for Group B.
After realizing that falling behind would truly lead to being abandoned, many people fell silent.
I chose this path myself, and I applied for this assessment myself. No matter how tough it is, it's only ten days. I'll grit my teeth and persevere. I can't really die here.
At noon, they all ate lunch in the car one after another.
Those with teammates took turns driving, chatting for a bit. After getting used to this marching speed, everyone relaxed.
Every now and then, you can see some comments in the chat room that are unrelated to the current battle situation.
[I just passed by a worm ruin and saw several luxury cars parked at the entrance; people were already taking photos with them.]
Why won't they let us participate in the development?
[Hehe, I didn't say you absolutely couldn't, but you can try parking there.]
[Come on, let's see who dares to stop and explore the treasure chest. Here's a song for you to wish them peace.]
Once you relax in the chat room, even marching doesn't seem so difficult.
Some even started shouting: "[Thank you, Boss Peng Zheng, you're my hero!]"
No one knows who said the first sentence, but when everyone realized it, the screen was full of Peng Zheng's name.
[Thank you, Peng Zheng, you are a hero.]
[Thank you so much, Peng Zheng!]
...
Someone in the chat room didn't understand and asked a couple of questions.
Some people, thinking they knew everything, replied: "[Of course it's because Peng Zheng is the leader of Group B. You're in the team now, and you don't even know who the main leader is?]"
Immediately, some people were happy and then "lined up" to follow suit.
[Many thanks to Peng Zheng!!]
[Exciting! It really is Peng Zheng! I never thought I'd get to ride on his coattails!]
[Brother Peng, may I come and join you? I have a Tier 3 vehicle, which is still somewhat useful. Could you tell me your coordinates?]
When such comments became more frequent, the entire chat room was filled with only Peng Zheng's name.
Those who knew the truth expressed their bewilderment.
The two girls who had initially held a geographical advantage and had been closely following Wei Huanche lost their appetite after seeing this news.
The girl with the bun hairstyle, unable to contain herself any longer, posted in the chat: "[What does this have to do with Peng Zheng? Our Group B's leader, Che Mingming, is clearly Wei Huan!]"
In fact, it wasn't just the two of them who spoke the truth; many challengers had personally witnessed Wei Huan summoning the undead.
Their successful journey here is clearly thanks to Leader Wei Huan, so why should Peng Zheng, whom we haven't even seen yet, steal it?
Who is Peng Zheng?
What makes this greedy hyena, who auctioned off the chance to bring people through the checkpoint, a guy who hasn't even shown up yet, worthy of such praise?
Unfortunately, there are far too few of these people.
Amidst the string of thanks to Peng Zheng, all the information the two girls sent about the name "Wei Huan" disappeared without even being seen by themselves.
The girl with the ponytail had tears in her eyes from anger.
"Peng Zheng is a mercenary leader, would he really be so kind as to lead a team? Even Qi Jialu's men were left to fend for themselves with half their numbers. Only our great nation and our powerful legion would lead us lowly soldiers through this challenge!"
These people thank the mercenary leader and the bounty hunter, but not our official leader, Che? What kind of people are they?!
The girl with the bun hairstyle sighed, but she was calmer than her companion and analyzed, "Because more than 80% of the people here are old challengers who were stranded on the secondary highway in previous years."
At least including our class, and the two classes before us, most of the students are still studying at school and are not required to go on adventures in the world of challenges.
Do you know what this means?
His companion shook his head.
The girl with the bun hairstyle said, "There are too few young people who believe in Wei Huan's strength, and their voices are too weak. But these elderly people stuck on the secondary highway have been listening to rumors about these bandits and bullies until today. They would rather believe that the old bigwigs can protect them."
His companion thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, people always tend to believe what they think they know better."
The girl with the bun hairstyle said, "So, this might be why Boss Wei hasn't made any special statements. If he can temporarily use Peng Zheng's name to form a preliminary cohesion, and then make a splash on a crucial occasion, he can easily become the focus of attention and seize true leadership."
"Is it that complicated?" Her companion hadn't expected it at all.
The girl with the bun thought about it carefully, then nodded: "I think it's like this: battlefield command is an art. It's not something that anyone can just stand up and shout and get everyone to obey. Besides, our Boss Wei is capable and resourceful. Temporarily using the tiger's skin is a way of biding his time and planning before acting. I'm very optimistic about Boss Wei's move; it's super reliable, okay!"
"That's true. If it were me, I would have already done this or that."
"Whoosh, I wish the whole world could hear my voice!"
"So, why did Boss Wei get married so young?"
"Yes, yes, it's such a pity. Why did he have to get married so young? A man like that is perfect for fantasizing about~"
"Look at Boss Wei, and then look at my classmates, hmph! They're all a bunch of arrogant kids!!"
The two girls, true best friends who had gone on adventures together, both rested their chins on their hands and looked at the "understated yet luxurious and sophisticated" Level 4 vehicle not far ahead.
It was as if one's gaze had pierced through the car body and reached the imposing man inside.
...
Another four hours passed.
The continuous forward movement has lasted for 9 hours.
Some people who lack the necessary skills have indeed reached their limit.
Moreover, there are quite a few individuals participating in the assessment without teammates or autonomous driving vehicles.
Some cars started to fall behind, and as soon as they fell behind, they nervously typed "SOS" in the chat room.
Upon hearing Mu Zhong's report, Wei Huan said, "The leaders' vehicles reported that the rate of people falling behind is about 2%, and there are still 3% left to go before reaching the warning line. We can continue our journey."
Wei Huan glanced at the time; there were still 2 hours and 45 minutes until the challenge of World Darkness.
Of the 30,000 people, that's 2%, less than a thousand people. Plus, they're probably in pairs, so there aren't that many vehicles that have fallen behind.
At least in Wei Huan's view, he could completely accept such a casualty ratio.
Of course, the importance of each person's life cannot be summarized by such a large number.
However, this is not a time of peace. On the march, during wartime, especially for this kind of army group's marching method, as long as there are no problems with the general direction, it is a correct decision.
Wei Huan respected the heroes who left no one behind, but as a leader, he had to make choices.
Therefore, under Mu Zhong's questioning gaze, Wei Huan nodded.
"We will rest at night and notify them to travel overnight to catch up. The logistics team will coordinate with this group of people to try to exchange supplies and improve vehicle performance."
There are also solo teams, which require them to form squads, with five people in Tier 3 vehicles and two people in Tier 2 vehicles.
Wei Huan's order was important, and Mu Tangge nodded: "Yes, received!"
What kind of time is this to be using the "social anxiety" excuse?
If you're lonely, just die.
Is it harder to get along with people, or to die?
Just then, Wei Huan's gaze fell on the message in the chat room. After reading the content, he was immediately amused.
It turns out that Peng Zheng, after several hours of continuous praise, couldn't help but respond.
Wei Huan didn't see the specifics of the reply, but Peng Zheng's name started appearing again in the chat room, which had just calmed down a bit.
[Ahhhh! Boss Peng spoke up!! Boss Peng admitted it!! Boss Peng is such a low-key guy, only admitting it now.]
[Thank you, Boss Peng, for leading the team. You are my hero.]
"Wei Huan." Mu Zhong's voice suddenly rang in my ears. I looked away from the projection screen and saw Mu Zhong's face on the screen next to me.
"Mmm," Wei Huan responded lazily, looking relaxed.
Mu Zhong's eyelashes trembled, and then he said, "Peng Zheng is testing us."
"It should be."
"Aren't we going to do anything about it?"
"It's not time yet."
"Okay, I understand."
