Chapter 396 - 197 Two People, One Life_1
The diving began.
Three days had passed, and Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, and Wang Changxin had all followed Ming Xi several times through the waterway and had even tried navigating it in darkness. They had a basic understanding of the conditions of the waterway. They also attempted underwater drills with the three magic professionists in tow. The overall situation was not encouraging.
Even without passengers and relying only on outer spiritual power, when the four of them - Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, Wang Changxin, and Ming Xi - were tethered together, it took them ten minutes to traverse the entire waterway. Yes, a full ten minutes. The twisting turns in the waterway took up a lot of time when they moved as a group. And when the linked group increased to seven people, the time taken would only increase.
Despite their training, even when fully relaxed and not using inner spiritual power, Ling Menglu lasted a little over six minutes, quite more than Yue Li and Tao Linlin, who could only last just over five minutes. That is to say, without breathing underwater, they might need to hold their breath for more than twice the time they could manage.
And that time could be deadly!
Four days had already passed. There was not much time left. The initial result of holding the breath training was the most noticeable, but it became increasingly difficult to improve as they went on.
Other teams had also tried various methods, but so far, no team had been able to pass the assessment.
After multiple trials, other teams had also become familiar with the waterway and tried helping the magic professionist with close-combat professionists. But none had succeeded. The waterway was too long, the pressure underwater too great, and the hold-breath time was a major issue.
"If we can’t pass, then no other teams can either," said Long Kongkong.
