"So...... Those of us who participated in the 'Special Challenge' were actually locked up in a circle that absorbed energy, and became the food of this 'living space'??"

Qiu Laosan's eyes widened, his hands shook violently, and he was so shocked that he almost fell off the clinging light cable.

"Hey, be careful, ......" Jiang Yao in the back was startled, and hurriedly made a move to stabilize the shaking light rope, and looked at the abyss below the rope with palpitations. "Let's concentrate on passing through this canyon first, and I'll tell you about the details later. ”

A cold wind blew up from the abyss of the canyon below, swaying the pale yellow cables of light that spanned the canyon. At the moment when the only suspension bridge on the canyon had been cut down, everyone could only rely on the light rope conjured by Lu Xingyue to climb with difficulty, and follow towards the other side of the canyon.

"Since this space is absorbing all the energy, it also means that the energy of this light rope is also draining, and we have to speed up. ”

Mu Jianyun, who was crawling in front of Jiang Yao, looked at the pale yellow light cord that gradually weakened, and his brows furrowed slightly. Maybe because he had guessed most of it before, after hearing the new information brought by Jiang Yao, Mu Jianyun was not as surprised as Qiu Laosan, but what puzzled him was the reason why the organizers of the ghost market made such an arrangement, and perhaps there were some ulterior secrets hidden behind it.

This year's "ghost market" is so abnormal that if you want to know the truth of the matter, you have to get out of here first......

Mu Jianyun muttered in his heart, and looked up at the rusty red sky above. I saw that the misty swamp that had hung upside down in the sky had disappeared in a previous shock, which also represented the quiet passage of another hour, and now there were less than four hours left for this "special challenge".

"Hey—our guys have arrived, are you alright?"

Lu Xingyue's shout came from the other side of the canyon, Mu Jianyun looked ahead, and found that the large army had arrived safely opposite with Lu Xingyue and the white pheasant, and only him, Qiu Laosan, and finally Jiang Yao were hanging on the light rope.

"It's okay, it's almost there!"

Jiang Yao replied to Lu Xingyue, and looked up at Mu Jianyun again.

"There's less than a third left, and we're going to hold on a little longer. Is your leg injury okay?"

"Don't worry. Mu Jianyun shook his head slightly, he didn't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that Jiang Yao's eyes didn't look like treating strangers, but now in this situation, he didn't have the heart to dwell on this, the most important thing at the moment was to quickly cross the canyon and stay away from this precarious inky forest.

"Whoa......

Scattered rubble rolled down from the cliff on one side of the inky forest, and after the ravages of the hungry demon vines, the mountain where the inky forest was located was full of holes, and in a dead silence, only the blood and wreckage on the ground told the tragedy of the previous battle.

Speaking of which...... Where did the half-demon go, and what was his purpose?

Mu Jianyun climbed the light rope while thinking about the previous things. He remembered the strange behavior of the half-demon named "Nothing" and the black bead that the other party had taken out of the main body of the hungry demon vine, and his intuition told him that this guy might not be simple. In addition, the fact that the half-demon seemed to know Jiang Yao also surprised Mu Jianyun, although Jiang Yao didn't say much later, but judging from his stunned expression at the time, maybe he didn't know more than Mu Jianyun.

"Good boss! Come, we'll help you!"

Just thinking about it, Qiu Laosan, who was at the front, finally managed to reach the other side, and sat down on the side surrounded by a group of subordinates, panting heavily.

"The last few meters, it's almost there. ”

Jiang Yao encouraged Mu Jianyun in front of him, and at the same time he gritted his teeth and dragged the light rope, approaching the opposite bank that was getting closer and closer, but just as he was concentrating on moving forward, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the front to his ears.

"Squeak ......"

Hmm? What sound?

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had misheard, but he immediately realized that it did not seem to be an auditory hallucination.

"Squeak...... Squeak-'

The sound of squirting became more and more obvious, and now it was not only Jiang Yao, but even Mu Jianyun in front of him had found a problem.

"What's going on?" Mu Jianyun, who was about to arrive, stopped and turned his head to look at Jiang Yao.

"No, I don't know...... ...... is this sound?"

Halfway through his words, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly hung in the air, because he found that the sound was not from somewhere else, but from the light cord he had grasped in his hand. And what made him even more furious was that he saw something familiar suddenly appear in front of him and imprint it on the light cord in his hand.

It was a strange ...... that had pulled it into the abyss. Black handprints.

"Not good!!"

"Smack!"

With a sudden crisp sound of jumping, Jiang Yao only felt that his palm suddenly loosened, and suddenly a sense of weightlessness rushed over!

"Be careful——!

Saying that it was too late, Mu Jianyun yelled and turned around and pounced on Jiang Yao, grabbed Jiang Yao's arm with one hand, and tightly pulled the remaining light rope that had not been torn off with the other hand. It's just that the remnants of the light cable can support the weight of the two of them, and the two people who fell rapidly only paused in mid-air for a moment, and then fell into the cliff together with the crisp sound of the second jump.

"Jiang Yao!!"

The sudden accident shocked everyone above, Lu Xingyue and Bai Pheasant flew to the edge of the cliff, but found that there were no two figures below, and their faces suddenly changed.

"This, how can this light cord be broken?"

"There are too many people who can't climb over, can't they bear it?"

"Hey, it's too bad luck......"

……

Everyone talked regretfully, sad and helpless at the same time, after all, in such a vicious place, any accident can happen, and they have seen too many lost lives along the way.

"It's a pity, don't mourn......" Qiu Laosan sighed, stepped forward and patted Lu Xingyue's shoulder to comfort him. "Even if someone as powerful as him falls, it is estimated that it will be more than auspicious to fall like this......"

"Shut up!!He's not dying that easily!"

Lu Xingyue turned her head and glared at Qiu Laosan fiercely, and waved her hand to shake off his arm.

"If it weren't for him, you don't know how many times you would have hung up!

"But that's not what we thought it would be...... the rest of the crowd interjected, looking at each other. "There's not much time left, we don't necessarily have to spend all the time on this funeral, right?"

"I want to see people alive and corpses when I die, I will never leave him alone!" Lu Xingyue scolded angrily, turning her head to look at the pitch-black abyss below. "If you want to leave or stay, listen to you!"

After speaking, Lu Xingyue slammed the pale yellow light rope in his hand towards the cliff below. The white pheasant suddenly realized what the other party wanted to do, and hurriedly wanted to step forward, but saw Lu Xingyue leaping towards the cliff, and disappeared into the depths of the dark canyon amid the exclamations of everyone......

--------------------------------

"Whoa......

Scattered rubble rolled down from the cliff and smashed on Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun's bodies.

The frightened Jiang Yao raised his head with difficulty, and the first thing that caught his eye was a dark blue light sword that was deeply inserted into the rock wall, and at this time, it was the man holding the handle of the light saber that was holding him tightly.

"You...... Are you alright?"

Mu Jianyun gritted his teeth and looked at the long sword mark above the rock wall, if he hadn't used the evil sword at the critical moment before, I'm afraid the two would have been buried at the bottom of the valley, but the current situation is still not optimistic.

"Quick...... I can't hold it anymore......"

"......! hug, sorry!" Jiang Yao came back to his senses, and immediately noticed that the arm holding him had begun to tremble slightly, so he hurriedly drove the demonic power in his body to cover the palm of his hand, waved his hand and inserted ten fingers with dark purple electric light into the rock next to him, and leaned on the cliff wall.

"Huh...... It seems that you are able to use the power of the beast freely. Mu Jianyun looked at the dark purple electric light in Jiang Yao's hand and said softly. "It's a pity that if this ability is seen by others, it will be troublesome. ”

"Fortunately, only you see it now, aren't you?" Mu Jianyun. Jiang Yao shook his head and said with a wry smile tacitly. "Actually, when I first saw you in the forest, I recognized you. You disguised yourself and wanted to sneak into the ghost market this time, you must have been instructed by Lu Jingyi, right?"

"I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to say that. ”

Mu Jianyun raised his head and looked up, and found that there was only a faint light flickering above, and there was no exit at all, obviously the location of the two of them at this time was already in the extreme depth of the canyon.

"With the depth of this canyon, with the current state of the two of us, I'm afraid we don't have the physical strength to climb up again......"

"Could it be...... Is it going to be consumed here?" Jiang Yao clutched his heart, which was still beating violently, and lowered his head to look at the bottom of the black hole-like cliff, while his heart was palpitating, the details of the previous fall were also constantly replaying in his mind.

Then again, back then...... I seem to see "that handprint" again?

Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought back to the moment when the light rope was broken before, and the black mark he had glimpsed on the light rope. Such a thrilling and bizarre situation happened to him twice in a row, which obviously cannot be explained by the word "coincidence", and the biggest possibility is that he was targeted by "something".

"Are you okay?" As if noticing Jiang Yao's poor face, Mu Jianyun hurriedly spoke. "You're right, hanging here all the time is a waste of energy, we have to find a way to ......"

Mu Jianyun thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and then grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, took out a flame bead of light emitting a faint light from his arms with the other, and threw it off the cliff.

"Bang——! Bangda......

The fireworks arced in a shining arc in the darkness below, but it didn't take long for them to stop falling, and after a few jumps, they came to a standstill. In the light of the gradually bursting light of the light beads, Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun found that the bottom of the valley was less than ten meters away from them, which undoubtedly provided them with another way to retreat, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the two of them were suddenly stunned again.

In front of them, a figure that seemed to be absent was crouching in the shadows at the corner of the valley floor, looking up at them fixedly.
