Chapter 226: The Gathering of Illuminati Apprentices
Hearing Sophia’s statement, Anna’s heart trembled.
"I'll try!"
Without any hesitation, Anna decisively picked up her token, tried to communicate with the outside world, and summoned the guidance of the fifth-level mentors.
After a few seconds, Anna put down the token in her hand and shook her head towards Yihua, Sophia and others with a dejected face.
Seeing that Anna and Sophia tried to leave the secret world to no avail, Yihua prepared to try it himself.
At this moment, Levi and Laman behind him heard a somewhat panicked but firm voice:
"Vice President, let's try it too!"
Upon hearing the two volunteers, Yihua nodded in agreement.
Next, the two tried to communicate with the outside world through the token, but it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea. The information they passed to the token did not make any waves.
"How could this happen..."
"Does it mean that we can't leave the secret world?"
Without responding to Levi and Laman's words, Yihua's eyes flashed and he decisively tried to communicate with the token.
But just a few seconds later, Yihua, who also tried to leave the secret world to no avail, fell into deep thought.
Previously, only when you were in the dark area of the secret world, you would lose the ability to leave the secret world.
Not long ago, Yihua asked the apprentices who fought with Anna to leave the secret world through tokens.
Obviously, the ability to leave the secret world through the token at that time did not fail in the light zone.
But now, everyone present cannot leave the secret world through the token.
This also means that all apprentices in the secret world today, no matter where they are, will most likely not be able to leave the secret world through tokens.
Is there something wrong with the outside world, or is it affected by the strange power of the secret world?
Both possibilities will lead to the failure of the ability to leave the secret world.
But compared to the former, the latter is more likely.
After all, unless there is a problem with all the fifth-level tutors in the outside world, it will be difficult for outside tutors to appear and respond to the request to leave the secret world.
If you want to test and find out the reason, you just need to check if there are any apprentices from the outside world entering.
So Yihua decisively called up the current real-time standings -
[Apprentice Exam Real-time Points List]
[First place - Melko Fabuti - currently holds points: 2787 points]
[Second place - Rey ·Felsis - currently holding points: 2232 points]
[Third place - Enzo Rutland - currently holding points: 2056 points]
...
[2176th place... …Current points held: 10 points]
Yihua stared at the standings intently. Just a few seconds later, the last place in the standings changed again.
[No. 2177...Currently holding points: 10 points]
"The apprentices taking the exam are still entering normally. It seems that there is no problem with the outside world."
Realizing this, Yihua's eyes flashed and he looked He said bluntly to Anna, Li Wei and others who were standing around, waiting for the results of their own thinking, or who were thinking: "There are still
apprentices entering the secret world. There should be no problems with the outside world. It seems that they have been affected by the abnormality in the secret world. Under the influence of the strange power."
Seeing everyone turning around and looking at him with some expectant eyes, Yihua did not show off and continued: "
In this case, no apprentice in the secret world has given up the examination qualifications and left the secret realm for a long time. The world will inevitably attract the attention of the fifth-level teachers from the outside world!"
Yihua could sense that the ability to travel through the world of death was not affected.
This also means that Yihua can use the Death World Shuttle Technique to hide in the Death World at any time.
Judging from this, the strange power in the secret world most likely affects the ability to communicate with the outside world through tokens.
This makes it impossible for the fifth-level tutors in the outside world to perceive the messages sent by the apprentices in the secret world to leave the secret world.
In fact, if the fifth-level tutors from the outside world notice something strange in the secret world, they can take the initiative to force the apprentices inside to come out.
With the soul retrieval technique and some of the food he brought when entering the secret world, he could easily hide in the world of death for several months.
However, the Death World Shuttle Technique cannot carry others. If there is real danger, although Yihua can escape temporarily, Anna, Levi and other Illuminati apprentices will not be able to escape the ending of total destruction.
Thinking of this, Yihua looked at Anna and others around him.
"Next, just continue to explore the secret world, gather other Illuminati apprentices, look for more clues, and wait for the fifth-level mentors from the outside to find out." Then, at Yihua's suggestion, Xin Zhi now knows that the secret
world Anna and Sofia did not refuse as the world's danger level skyrocketed, and decisively chose to join Yihua's team.
In the following time, relying on the resonance stones held by the Illuminati apprentices, Yihua began to continuously search for the Illuminati apprentices scattered in the secret world.
As time passed, the team around Yihua began to grow at an alarming rate.
A few hours later, more than twenty apprentices had gathered around Yihua.
There were many familiar faces among them, but most of them were first-class apprentices. As Gabriel's deputy, Levi was already the strongest among the five Illuminati second-class apprentices present.
As for Gabriel, who is currently the strongest among the Illuminati besides Yihua.
As well as "Explosive" Dean, who ranked among the top 40 in the college competition, Yihua did not get any clues about the two of them from the gathered Illuminati apprentices.
However, Yihua judged from the real-time standings that Gabriel and Dean were ranked 22nd and 38th respectively, that they were still in the secret world.
After the rendezvous, Yihua also asked these Illuminati apprentices to try to communicate with the outside world, but just like Yihua's previous test, these Illuminati apprentices were unable to get in touch with the outside world.
For these Illuminati apprentices who were in panic because they lost the ability to leave the secret world, Yihua asked Levi and Laman to explain the current situation of everyone to these colleagues in a concise and comprehensive manner.
Relying on the prestige accumulated previously, after learning about the anomalies in the current secret world, Yihua, as the vice president and actual founder of the Illuminati, unsurprisingly became the backbone of the Illuminati apprentices.
As time passed, some of the Illuminati apprentices who followed Yihua began to feel hungry and thirsty.
There is a lot of vegetation in the secret world, but there seems to be no other animals. However, water can be obtained from streams and lakes.
However, out of wariness of unknown things in the secret world, most apprentices who enter the secret world dare not drink the water directly from the secret world.
Fortunately, when entering the secret world, the apprentices taking the exam all carried a certain amount of dry food and drinking water with them.
Although the weight is not much, as wizard apprentices, the ability to withstand hunger and thirst is far beyond that of ordinary people.
In addition, the apprentice exam only lasts for three days, so the apprentices who take the exam will not die of hunger or thirst in the secret world.
After realizing that the apprentices following him had declined due to running at full speed in the secret world for a long time, Yihua did not choose to continue the action. Instead, he found a piece of grass with a wide view and gave the order to take a temporary rest.
During the temporary break, Yihua was not idle either.
After rejecting the food handed to him by several apprentices, Yihua asked the Illuminati apprentices around him who were chewing dry food and drinking water one by one, and collected their previous experiences.
According to these, the accounts of the Illuminati apprentices who purchased the Orb of Life from Yihua.
These Illuminati apprentices have just entered the secret world, and most of them react nervously and awkwardly when facing hostile apprentices.
But with the protection of the Life Orb, he realized that the enemy could not hurt him.
These Illuminati apprentices, with their confidence greatly increased, took decisive action to defeat the enemy apprentices.
Immediately afterwards, some apprentices passed through the resonance stone to meet other Illuminati apprentices.
In the case of a group, the Orb of Life played the role of one plus one greater than two. The Illuminati apprentices who acted in groups almost became invincible weaklings.
Once they encounter a lone enemy, they swarm them.
The master was beaten to death with random punches. Relying on their numerical advantage, these groups of Illuminati apprentices defeated the lone first- and second-class apprentices almost as soon as they met, and then took them away and divided them equally. Points from defeated apprentice tokens.
Even a genius apprentice who ranked among the top forty in the previous academy competition and was comparable to the strength of "Explosive Flame" Dean who previously tested the power of the Life Orb, was among the six or seven first- and second-class Illuminators who held the Life Orb. Under the continuous witchcraft attacks like standing on a fort, the skilled apprentice ran out of magic power and chose to run away in shame.
And if they meet apprentices from other organizations who are also in a group, these Illuminati apprentices who hold the Life Orb and have mediocre abilities are not afraid.
Relying on the powerful and continuously recovering defense of the Life Orb.
Facing the enemy's concentrated fire attack, these Illuminati apprentices alternately stepped forward to resist the enemy's attack.
In an evenly matched battle between the two sides, the enemy was soon defeated due to injuries and exhaustion of magic power.
He was captured by the Illuminati apprentices who relied on the Life Orb to have a mana reserve advantage that was several times that of the second-class apprentices, and their points were taken away.
But what the Illuminati apprentices who told Yihua about their previous experiences didn't know was that.
At this moment, more Illuminati apprentices are fighting with other apprentices taking exams in different areas of the secret world.
As time passed, information spread at an alarming rate that almost all Illuminati apprentices were equipped with an extremely powerful, almost unbreakable defensive enchanted item.
Today, more and more apprentices know that Illuminati apprentices, especially groups of Illuminati apprentices, are terrifying existences that non-third-class apprentices must not mess with.
Even the top second-class apprentices, once they meet with the groups of Illuminati apprentices scattered throughout the secret world and see the Illuminati’s iconic silver cross badge, they will not say anything and choose to go as quickly as possible. Escape.
Due to the low strength of these Illuminati apprentices, most of the Illuminati apprentices had no time to catch up when faced with the top second-class apprentices' speeds of tens of meters per second.
Therefore, out of caution and in order not to be defeated one by one by the enemy after separation, the Illuminati chose to ignore it.
Led by some second-class Illuminati apprentices, these groups of Illuminati apprentices gather together to create a light zone that is enough to cover hundreds of meters in radius. They specialize in picking out weak persimmons who meet by chance but have no time to escape. pinch.
Perhaps even Yi Hua did not expect the hundreds of Illuminati apprentices who purchased the Life Orb to have a huge impact on this apprenticeship exam.
Putting aside those powerful apprentices, most of the weaker first- and second-class apprentices cannot escape the pursuit of the Illuminati apprentices once they encounter the unstoppable Illuminati apprentices who hold the Life Orb.
In the end, I could only hand over the points obediently.
These Illuminati apprentices may be due to the Illuminati's purpose of "leading people to do good", or they may be apprentices who join the Illuminati. After Yihua's selection, they are basically all beings with positive karma levels.
When encountering unentangled apprentices who simply surrender without much resistance, the Illuminati apprentices will basically take away the points of these apprentices and leave some points in the token to maintain the light zone.
Although their purpose of doing this behavior is to keep a line in everything.
In order to prevent these apprentices who did not cause substantial harm to themselves or get angry, but only had conflicts because they needed to gain points for the exam, from groping for other apprentices in the darkness where they could not see their fingers.
But it also accidentally implemented Yihua's purpose of reducing the number of dead apprentices in the secret world as much as possible and slowing down the increase of strange power in the dark zone.
If there are no points left in the token, the energy of the Lumen Stone is used to dispel the darkness.
These apprentices who have lost points and cannot leave the secret world through tokens cannot survive for a moment in the darkness filled with strange powers.
Of course, if they encounter an apprentice with murderous intent or a hostile Freemasonry, these Illuminati apprentices will kill them mercilessly.
But compared to other apprentices who took the exam, only a handful of apprentices died at the hands of the Illuminati.
Shortly after Yihua noticed that his ability to communicate with the outside world through the token and leave the secret world failed, the apprentices scattered in every corner of the secret world gradually discovered this abnormal phenomenon.
After many attempts to no avail, most of the apprentices who took the exam had no intention of gaining points when faced with the changes that were not mentioned in the exam, and stayed where they were and fell into panic.
But there were also many sane apprentices among them. It didn't take long for them to use a method similar to Yihua's and realize that the apprentices were still entering the secret world, and there was a high probability that there would be no problems in the outside world.
Therefore, after this abnormal phenomenon continues for a certain period of time, it will inevitably be noticed by the fifth-level teachers from the outside world.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, he saw that the more than twenty Illuminati apprentices following him, as well as Anna and Sophia, were almost rested.
Yi Hua stood up decisively and announced to the apprentices around him to continue the action.
He subconsciously took out the resonance stone in his pocket and tried to find if there were other Illuminati apprentices around.
Due to the large area of the secret world and the fact that no one had moved for a long time, Yihua did not have too many expectations for the presence of other Illuminati apprentices around him.
Unexpectedly, the resonance stone in front of me actually emitted fluctuations from the Illuminati apprentices other than the apprentices present.
