“…… Jiang Yao?"

The figure looked at Jiang Yao, and the expression on his face suddenly changed from surprise to surprise.

"It's really you...... I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"Lu, Lu Xingyue?" Jiang Yao looked at the young man who appeared in front of him in surprise, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Why are you here?you, are you okay?" Jiang Yao hurriedly ran forward, looked Lu Xingyue up and down, and found that the other party didn't seem to be injured.

"I'm fine, I've been looking for you before, and I thought I wouldn't find you anymore. Lu Xingyue patted Jiang Yao's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Have I been in a coma for a long time...... That's right, time!" Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something, and his face changed. "This 'challenge' is time-limited, how long has it been since the opening?"

"Hmm...... I don't know exactly when, I just know that from the initial collapse, the whole space seems to have collapsed three more times. Lu Xingyue recalled. "But luckily, the collapse is on the periphery, and we haven't been affected here. ”

"Did it collapse three more times? Counting the first crash, which means it's been four hours since the challenge? I've been in a coma for so long......"

Jiang Yao held his head, which was still painful, and his expression was much more solemn.

"The red stone pillar in the center of the space is not visible here, maybe it is still far from the center, we can't continue to rub it off like this, we have to set off quickly. ”

"When I was exploring in the swamp before, I found a path that led to the forest in the center of the space, come, I'll take you there!"

Lu Xingyue said, grabbed Jiang Yao's hand, and clasped his ten fingers tightly, and the sudden action startled Jiang Yao.

"Stars, stars and moons...... I'm not a child, don't worry about me getting lost, right?" Jiang Yao smiled awkwardly and quietly tried to pull out his hand, but he was helplessly held by Lu Xingyue and couldn't break free at all.

"No, the fog here is so thick, what if another one accidentally gets lost?" Lu Xingyue said without looking back, and continued to pull Jiang Yao towards the fog in front of him.

“…… Okay, okay......" Jiang Yao was speechless, he always felt that Lu Xingyue seemed a little weird, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly, so he could only let Lu Xingyue take his hand and move forward.

The dense rain stopped imperceptibly, allowing the thickening fog to fill the swamp, and the upside-down forest in the air still hung high in the sky, as if it could never be approached, even if it had been traveling for a long time, but in Jiang Yao's eyes, the surrounding scenery did not seem to change.

It seems like...... It's been a little too long, right?

Jiang Yao thought and redirected his gaze to Lu Xingyue in front of him. The cold touch came from the palm that was clenched by Lu Xingyue, I don't know if it was the reason for the cold environment, Jiang Yao always felt that Lu Xingyue's hand seemed to be a little less warm, and even the whole person seemed to be silent a lot, which made Jiang Yao a little worried.

"Xingyue, your body...... Are you alright?" Jiang Yao thought for a moment and finally tried to speak.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Lu Xingyue, who was walking in front of him, said, still not looking back. "You just have to follow me. ”

"However, we seem to have walked for a long time, but we haven't seen any shadows of the woods......" Jiang Yao pressed his gently undulating chest, and for some reason, a sense of anxiety and uneasiness kept churning in his heart, which was difficult to suppress.

"I said yes, yes, don't you believe me?"

Lu Xingyue suddenly stopped, turned around and looked directly into Jiang Yao's eyes.

"No, that's not what I meant......" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to explain, but at this time, he saw Lu Xingyue's hand suddenly exert force, pulling him to him, while the other hand reached into Jiang Yao's clothes and hugged his waist.

"Listen, I don't care if you believe it or not, if you want to get out of here, you have to come with me, understand?"

Lu Xingyue stepped forward and pressed against Jiang Yao's ear, and the dangerous words blew on Jiang Yao's cheeks with Lu Xingyue's cold breath, making Jiang Yao shiver. Jiang Yao subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that his waist had been firmly locked by Lu Xingyue, and he couldn't move for a while.

"Lu, Lu Xingyue, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao looked at the man in front of him in surprise, trying to reach out and push the other party away, but he soon found that the other party's strength had become extremely large, and no matter how hard Jiang Yao tried, he couldn't break free.

"Has anyone ever told you that you smell good?"

Lu Xingyue sneered, buried her head in Jiang Yao's neck, and sniffed lightly.

"This breath...... It's not something that ordinary humans can have, hehe...... You are a 'special' ......"

"Hmm......!?let go, let me go!"

As if suddenly realizing something, Jiang Yao's eyes flashed red, and he pushed away the man in front of him with the surging demonic power in his body.

"You—You're not Lu Xingyue!Who are you!?"

Jiang Yao glared angrily at the "Lu Xingyue" in front of him, and vigilantly retreated a few steps, and in front of his line of sight, the man's gold and silver eyes began to gradually change color, not only that, but even the figure of the other party began to change.

I saw that the man's originally thin and slender body was stretched longer and longer in the mist, and the outline became distorted and weird, and in just a blink of an eye, the man turned into a black fog belt like smoke, converging upward.

"It's ......!"

Jiang Yao raised his head with a stunned face, and at the intersection of the black fog belt, he saw two eyes glowing with a strange red light revealing the mist, and then, a huge black shadow several meters high slowly appeared in front of Jiang Yao with the vibration of the swamp.

[Woohoo——!!]

The barking roar of the dog exploded in the sky above the swamp in an instant, and before Jiang Yao could see the appearance of the black shadow, he suddenly felt that the swamp under his feet was like a turbulent wave surging up, instantly knocking him to the ground;

Not good!

Jiang Yao's face changed greatly, he hurriedly got up and tried to get rid of the entangled swamp, but at this time, he felt that the light around him suddenly dimmed, and when he looked up, he found a huge mouth covered with fangs facing his head from top to bottom, and he was about to bite off!

"Click——!

The splatters of blood fell to the ground and disappeared into the swamp in an instant. In the waves of viscous mud, an embarrassed figure stumbled out, and Jiang Yao, who was lucky enough to dodge the blow, struggled to get up, raised his hand intertwined with dark purple electric light, and wiped the blood on his cheek.

"What the hell is this......!?"

Jiang Yao raised his head, only to find that the huge black shadow that was originally hidden in the mist had swam to his side at this time, showing a hideous face.

I saw a huge strange fish head with a mouth full of fangs, slowly poking out, aiming the two scarlet eyes at Jiang Yao, and where the body should be connected under the head, it showed a state like a mountain of overlapping flesh - it was a body formed by the fusion of ten distorted fish bodies covered with scales. Streams of black mist spread out from around the body like tentacles, constantly changing shapes, and it was obvious that the previous "Lu Xingyue" was the bait conjured up by this fallen monster fish, and the mutilated corpses all around it indicated that there were far more than one or two victims buried under this kind of bait.

Those corpses...... It's all the challengers this time!?

Jiang Yao was shocked, but at this time he didn't have time to hesitate, the fallen demon monster fish saw that the previous blow failed, so he twisted his head again, and roared and was about to pounce on Jiang Yao!

[Woo ——!]

Oops!

Jiang Yao hurriedly dodged backwards, and at the same time drove the energy pulse flow in his body, and suddenly a giant claw phantom glowing with dark purple demonic energy covered his right arm and protected his chest, but at this time, the black mist tentacles around the strange fish also jumped over and entangled towards Jiang Yao.

"Crackle!"

The staggered dark purple electric sparks burst into the mist that was blown away, and the moment the black mist tentacles touched the giant claw phantom, they were torn to pieces by the scattered dark purple demonic qi. Jiang Yao was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he waved his arm vigorously towards the strange fish, and the giant claw phantom also stretched out and blasted towards the strange fish's head.

"Rumble——!

The swamp, which was already fluctuating, once again showed a turbulent trend under such a violent shock, and Jiang Yao, who was unstable under his feet, flew out in an instant under the huge backlash force, and fell into the muddy "swamp dilemma" again. Jiang Yao, who was worried about the strange fish, hurriedly tried to get up again, but this time he was not so lucky, before he could get up, he was entangled by several black mist tentacles, and the cold breath penetrated into his body along Jiang Yao's skin from the tentacles, completely disrupting the energy pulse flow that he had been trying to mobilize.

"Hmm!?cough...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"

Jiang Yao's face turned pale in an instant, he only felt that the energy veins in his body had become overlapping and chaotic under this external interference, and every inch of the meridians in his body were tearing and stinging, and even the giant claw phantom on his hand could no longer be maintained, and gradually dissipated. It's just that what he didn't know was that the green stone lavalier under his collar that concealed his strength attribute had turned blood-red in this wave of energy fluctuations, and began to show the slightest crack.

Damn it...... The strength is still not enough!

Jiang Yao gritted his teeth and looked at the fallen monster fish in front of him with a missing corner of his head, although Jiang Yao's blow hit the monster before, but it did not hurt the other party's vital point, under the black mist, the head of the fallen demon monster fish has begun to repair automatically with the naked eye, and once the other party's repair is completed, then Jiang Yao, who is trapped here, will probably become a member of the corpses of the victims all over the ground.

Demonic ...... I don't want to die here!

Jiang Yao stared at his reddened eyes, desperately trying to drive the energy pulse flow in his body again, but he was helplessly disturbed by the black mist tentacles that entangled him, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't concentrate, and in the struggle, the self-repair of the fallen demon monster fish had been completed.

[Hmph...... A human can hurt me, you...... Sure enough, it's 'special'. 】

The enchanting words came from the front, Jiang Yao raised his head, but saw that a lump of meat gradually bulged between the eyes of the strange fish, and quickly transformed into an upper body shaped like a woman. I saw that the "woman" turned her head, then lowered her head and aimed her cold and gloomy strange face at Jiang Yao.
