NovelEnglishChapter 1651: Persevere
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The closer it got to the deadline, the more unbearable it would get! How would their bodies endure it then? How would they get through it? That was an impossible deed.
Unless your body’s resilience was so great that you had already morphed from a mortal skeleton into a mystic skeleton.
Otherwise, normal people’s bodies were simply unable to withstand this trial.
This was not an ordinary environment in which cultivators were able to go more than a week without eating or drinking. As long as they entered a closed-door environment to cultivate, they could endure the hunger.
In contrast, this scorching environment right now depleted one’s strength exponentially.

“Actually, I had secretly stashed away a small bottle of water then. I persisted to the end by relying on that single bottle of water.”
“Every time I looked at that small bottle of water, I would think to myself that I had already taken a sip, I had already drank from it! And then I don’t know how it happened, but I pulled through!” Ma Ta related with a bitter smile, “I’ve gotta say, ever since going through this trial in the Lava Mountain Range, I really cherish every drop of water.”
“I didn’t know how I had persevered. I would only wet my lips each time I opened the bottle, drinking only one or two drops…” Upon recalling that miserable experience, Ma Ta felt that he had fallen into despair at that time!
Everybody couldn’t help but look at him with sympathy upon hearing this senior brother’s past hardships.
Ma Ta couldn’t resist scratching his nose when he noticed his junior sisters’ gazes. “That’s why I totally didn’t need the mentor’s reminder before entering the Lava Mountain Range this time. I took out all the water I had stocked up in my inner world!”
Ma Ta tore off his jacket, revealing more water bottles hanging from his waist than the little fatty’s.
Everybody involuntarily twitched their mouths.
“You really have made ample preparations!” Qi Xuanxuan was at a loss for words.
“Hehe.” Ma Ta chuckled. “But of course! You’ve gotta admit that water is our life in the Lava Mountain Range. Starving for two days is whatever for people at our cultivation, but lacking water truly is unbearable!”
Qiao Mu looked at them speechlessly. She then said to the little fatty, “Drink, don’t die from thirst!”
Even so, the little fatty shook his head vigorously. “No way, no way. I can’t drink. It’s been less than four hours on the first day. I will endure!”
Qiao Mu: …
Actually, you all don’t have to be so frugal!
“Don’t worry! Just drink if you want to. Don’t hurt yourself by holding back!” Qiao Mu advised.
Qi Xuanxuan also said with a nod, “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there! Who knows, we might complete our mission within two or three days.”
Everyone looked at Qi Xuanxuan with an expression that said “you’re dreaming, right.”
Qi Xuanxuan scratched her nose. “I agree with what Qiaoqiao said. We’ll go on our way once we finish drinking, eating, and resting! As long as we defeat ten level-two spiritual beasts as soon as possible, won’t we be done? Then, we can summon a mentor to bring us back!”
After some contemplation, the little fatty was in agreement. If he held back from drinking water now, he would still be the one suffering at that time.
If he messed up and became dehydrated because of this, he might even drag down his teammates.
The little fatty thought about it and took out a water bottle, guzzling down half in one go.
Afterwards, he looked toward Qiao Mu with a sigh. “Sigh. After drinking water, I feel more hungry now!”
Qiao Mu looked at him expressionlessly. “Didn’t you bring several mantous!”
