Isn't One Followed by Zero

"So that's how it is. No wonder it's said to be an illusory realm that tests teamwork. Such intelligence... This Junior Brother Lu is truly a great talent!"

After listening to Zhong Yi's analysis, Zhou Yue nodded in approval.

"Hehe, but Junior Brother Lu still underestimated us..."

Zhong Yi smiled leisurely.

"We are true - transmission disciples. Whether it's discipline or teamwork, it's no challenge for us at all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a huge pulling force. His body was being dragged backwards passively.

He turned around and saw.

Mu Yawen was running backwards with all his might.

Jumping as he ran.

"What are you doing, Junior Brother Mu?"

"I think as long as I practice hard in this illusory realm, I'll definitely be able to carry all three of you and run together!"

"..."

Zhong Yi gasped.

It seemed that he had spoken too soon about it being "no challenge for us".

Soon he felt the difficulty.

Even if they chose the same direction, due to the inconsistent jumping rhythms of each person, someone would be left hanging in the air.

Fortunately, it was allowed to pull others in the illusory realm, so they arrived at the next platform without any real danger.

A chain as thick as a palm snaked its way to connect to the next platform. Obviously, they were supposed to walk on it.

"Hehe, using walking on a chain to test us? Junior Brother Lu looks down on us a bit."

Zhou Yue shook his head.

Jumping in the air required testing the coordination of the take - off. Once the take - off timing was inconsistent, it would be a disaster.

There was no need to jump on the chain. What was so difficult about it?

"Maybe Junior Brother Lu realized that the previous illusory realm was too abnormal and has toned it down a bit this time."

Zhong Yi let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

He had been on tenterhooks when jumping over those stone boxes in the air just now.

He was afraid that Lu Ze had prepared something like the "Be a Cultivator and Descend a Hundred Floors" kind of trap waiting for them.

Fortunately, Lu Ze didn't.

It seemed that he had shown mercy.

However, before the smile on his lips had faded, he saw a blood - red demonic evil beast flapping its wings and flying above them.

It was holding a can of oil and pouring it on the chain.

While pouring, it was also spouting all kinds of trash talk, taunting them that they definitely couldn't climb to the top and telling them to give up early.

"???"

Zhong Yi's breath caught.

It seemed that he was still too happy too soon...

Junior Brother Lu really isn't a decent person!!!

Beside him, Zhou Yue and Mu Yawen couldn't stand being provoked by the demonic being like this.

They grabbed Zhong Yi and rushed onto the chain.

"Damn it! It's too slippery!!"

"Senior Brother Zhong, pull me, pull me!!"

"Damn it, stop shaking in the air. I'm about to lose my balance too... Don't move! Don't move!!!"

"Can we crawl across?"

"No! We can't hold on at all!"

"Senior Brother Zhong, I'm up!"

"I'm fucking pushed off! Junior Brother Mu, pull me..."

...

...

In the control room of the illusory realm.

Lu Ze was smiling as he watched the live feed of Zhong Yi and the other three in the illusory realm.

When creating the "Four Together", he added a bit more difficulty on the basis of the original work.

If it was completely based on the game levels of his previous life, even if these cultivators had their cultivation bases sealed and couldn't use spiritual energy, it would be too easy for them to pass the levels.

For example, pouring oil on the chain.

For example, the objects moving in the air would accelerate irregularly.

For example, the distance between the levels would be greater...

...

The teamwork atmosphere among Zhong Yi and the other three was actually quite good compared to many other teams.

At this time, among countless small teams, even brothers who had been together day and night couldn't help but curse.

After all, this was really frustrating.

"Let them pass the novice levels quickly. Otherwise, how can I earn demonic values..."

Looking at the four hanging on the chain, Lu Ze muttered to himself cheerfully.

...

...

Zhong Yi and the other three finally inched their way up to the upper layer from the chain step by step.

It was all thanks to Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue exerting themselves patiently. Mu Yawen and Zhou Qiaoling hung in the air on either side to avoid getting in the way.

The four gradually got familiar with the illusory realm and walked smoothly along a thin pole to a new platform.

By now, they had climbed 300 feet.

The ground where they had started looked like a fist - sized patch in their eyes, extremely tiny.

In front of them was a long flight of steps.

Above the steps were three pale - golden beams of light.

On the far left of the beams were dense steel spikes, stained with mottled blood.

"I feel like our teamwork has improved a lot!"

Zhong Yi sighed.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yue nodded in agreement.

"As long as we unite as one and don't mess up..."

Before Zhong Yi could finish speaking, he saw Mu Yawen and Zhou Qiaoling curiously walking up to the steps and sizing up the pale - golden beam.

A sense of crisis welled up, and Zhong Yi's breath caught.

"Don't..."

"What is this?"

"I don't know. Let's touch it and see!"

Zhou Qiaoling was still young. Out of curiosity, she reached out and touched it.

The moment her fingertips touched the beam,

The spikes on the left rushed towards the four of them at high speed!

The huge impact sent all four of them flying into the air.

"Ahhhhh! Damn it!"

"You little troublemaker!!!"

"Why did you touch it!!"

"Think of a way quickly!!!"

...

The four waved their arms frantically in the air, hoping to grab something to save themselves.

But it was all in vain.

The four of them fell heavily to the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and died one after another.

The next second.

They revived right where they were.

"Where is this?"

Zhong Yi rubbed his eyes, his eyes full of despair.

"It seems that... we're home?"

Zhou Yue said with a bitter face. Somehow, the word "home" just slipped out.

This was exactly where they had entered the illusory realm.

The distance indicator in the top - left corner had also returned to zero from 300 feet.

...

...

After another round of torture.

The four of them returned to the stone steps again.

Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue, like strict parents, scolded the other two with straight faces.

"We need to unite. Do you understand? We are a team!"

"You must follow my and Brother Zhong's commands before taking action. Got it?"

Once they understood the principle of the spiked attack, things seemed simple.

Obviously, the golden beam was the trigger for the ground spikes.

So as long as they didn't touch the golden beam and jumped over it, it would be fine.

But once it came to jumping, there was a very serious rhythm problem.

"How about we count down from three and then jump together?"

Zhong Yi suggested.

"No problem. That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Zhou Yue immediately gave a thumbs - up to show his approval.

Mu Yawen and Zhou Qiaoling looked at each other and then nodded desperately.

After reaching an agreement, the four of them came to the edge of the beam.

Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and nodded seriously at each other.

"Three!"

The two of them started counting down at the same time.

"Two!"

Mu Yawen and Zhou Qiaoling nervously clenched their fists and strained their ears to listen.

"One!"

Zhong Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Jump!"

"Zero!"

A completely different command sounded.

Zhong Yi and Zhou Qiaoling both jumped, while Zhou Yue and Mu Yawen stayed where they were.

The four pairs of eyes stared at each other, all filled with disbelief, as if they all thought the other was a fool.

As expected,

Zhong Yi and Zhou Qiaoling, whose jumping height was restricted, fell from the air and triggered the trap.

The spikes shot out.

The four of them became flying people in the air again.

"Damn it!!! Zhou Yue, why didn't you jump after counting to one?!!!"

"You're the one with a problem! Isn't it zero after one?!!!"

"Yeah, yeah, what Senior Brother Zhou said makes sense!"

"You guys are crazy!!!"
