Seeing the beautiful and familiar woman in front of him appear in the here and now, Jiang Yao was overjoyed at the same time, but also emotional, after all, after saying goodbye to Yuanqiu Mountain, he had never seen a white pheasant again.

"I heard your voice in the distance before, and I couldn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

The white pheasant looked Jiang Yao up and down, and while he was happy, there was also a little worry on his face. "But Jiang Yao, you...... Why are you here? Do you want to participate in the "ghost market" too?"

"Hmm...... After all, it is rumored that the 'Soul Stone' will be auctioned in the 'Ghost Market' this time, and Xiao Yuan was given the 'Soul Stone' to ...... at the beginning."

As soon as he thought of Xiao Yuan, a trace of melancholy suddenly flashed in Jiang Yao's heart, and he was silent for a moment, and then changed the topic.

"Speaking of which, why are you here, where have you been after the Yuanqiu Mountain incident?" Jiang Yao asked.

"After that incident...... I went to the mountains for a period of time to retreat, and when I came out, I heard that the 'Ghost Market' would auction the 'Soul Suppression Stone', so I wanted to come and see it. ”

The white pheasant said embarrassedly, and habitually reached out to caress the diamond stud earring in his left ear. "I also know that with my abilities, I may not be able to help, but at least I want to try to find clues, after all, the corpse dove ...... Xiao Yuan, he and I are also friends. ”

"So that's ......" Jiang Yao nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something. "By the way, you...... Was it around here just now?"

"No. The white pheasant put down the hand that caressed the earrings and wondered. "I accidentally got lost and strayed into this fog belt before, and I almost thought I couldn't get out of the back before, but then I heard a vibration sound and came looking for it, and then I found you. ”

"Really...... And ...... the figure I saw before?" Jiang Yao muttered in a low voice, not continuing.

"Anyway, you haven't introduced me yet. Bai Pheasant said, moving his gaze to Lu Xingyue next to Jiang Yao, and blinked curiously. "Who is this......?"

"Ah, he's my friend, named Lu Xingyue, and he's coming with me to participate in the 'Ghost Market' this time. Jiang Yao came back to his senses and hurriedly introduced, while turning to Lu Xingyue.

"Xingyue, introduce me. Her name is White Pheasant, and although she is a demon, she is also a companion who has been born and died with me. ”

"Hello~ My name is White Pheasant, it's a pleasure to meet you. The white pheasant smiled and stretched out his hand to Lu Xingyue. "Since we are all friends of Jiang Yao, let's go together along the way~"

"......" Lu Xingyue looked at the smiling white pheasant, and did not stretch out her hand directly, but moved her gaze to the diamond stud on the white pheasant's left ear, and the bewitching gold and silver eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what she was looking at.

"......?" Seeing that Lu Xingyue didn't react, the white pheasant seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the other party seemed to be observing his ear studs, and couldn't help but subconsciously brushed the hair around his ears and covered the ear studs into the thick hair.

"White Pheasant...... Lu Xingyue retracted her gaze, refocused her gaze on the beautiful woman in front of her, showed a polite and polite smile on her face, and reached out to shake the white pheasant's hand. "Hello, meeting for the first time, my name is Lu Xingyue, please take care of me in the future. ”

After the greetings, Lu Xingyue turned to Jiang Yao again and got back to the point:

"Counting the previous fifth collapse, there is less than half of the time left to challenge. Regardless of whether the body of this space is the so-called "Energy Absorbing Circle", once the challenge time reaches zero, we can't get out, it will be certain death. ”

"That's right, but now we can't even see the stone pillar in the center, what direction should we go......" Jiang Yao pondered, looked up and saw the blank face of the white pheasant in front of him, and suddenly realized that the other party should not know the latest information about this space.

"Jiang Yao...... What are you talking about?" The white pheasant blinked his eyes wide, and sure enough, he asked.

"This ...... It's a long story, but I'll tell you as we go. Now you have to hurry up and find the right direction to go. Jiang Yao said, turned around and looked behind the rocky beach, but could only see a white mist, it seemed that this area was all fog, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction at all, and in addition to the rocky beach and fog, the only thing that caught the eye was the upside-down mirage in the rusty red sky.

"By the way, Xingyue, since you were able to find this place before, you should know the way out, right?" Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Lu Xingyue.

"Yes, I recognize it, but the space has collapsed several times in the process of looking for you, and the spatial structure has changed, and I am not sure that the original route can still be taken. Lu Xingyue shook her head and said. "And now there are less than five hours left, and if we go back the same way, we will have to take a shortcut. ”

""Shortcuts?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked. "Can you take a shortcut in this space?"

"Not entirely sure, but worth a try. Lu Xingyue said, looking at his beautiful gold and silver eyes at the inverted inky forest in the sky. "Didn't you notice that thing in the sky exuded a very clear aura of energy. ”

"Heavenly, do you mean that 'mirage'?" Jiang Yao raised his head and looked up along Lu Xingyue's line of sight.

"It's not an illusory 'mirage', it's a real scene. Lu Xingyue narrowed her eyes and said slowly.

"The real scene?" Jiang Yao couldn't believe his ears. "Y-you're not kidding, are you? Why is the real scene hanging upside down in the sky?"

"Don't forget, we're in another dimension right now, so it's not surprising that there is a spatial distortion around us. Lu Xingyue explained. "Moreover, if the above scene is really just a 'mirage', it is impossible to produce energy breath. That aura can only be emitted when there is a living organism, and my eyes can see it clearly. ”

"That is, in other words, the sky is actually connected to another space, just like the 'wormhole' of the universe, and we can directly pass through it to reach that forest?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.

"That's right. Lu Xingyue nodded. "And that forest doesn't seem to be far from the stone pillar in the center of the space. You see......"

Lu Xingyue said, stretching out her hand to point to the corner of the upside-down forest in the sky, only to see a faint red stone pillar inserted upside down at the far end of the forest, looming in the mist.

"It's true! I didn't notice it before...... Jiang Yao looked at it, and most of the doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated, but at the same time, he remembered another worry. "If we manage to get there, we can save a lot of time, but the question is how do we get there?"

"That...... Maybe there's a way to ......."

As he was talking, the white pheasant's voice suddenly sounded from the side, Jiang Yao and the two turned around, and saw the white pheasant pluck a feather-like white hairpin from between his hair, and with a burst of magic light, the hairpin suddenly flew up in the air, and quickly stretched into a length of several meters, hovering in mid-air.

"This is the magic weapon I prepared before I came to the 'Ghost Market', which can be manned for a period of time, but since it can only be used once, I didn't plan to use it so soon. The white pheasant looked at the huge feathers in the air and said to Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue. "But now that the situation is urgent, we can't do so much, let's sit down quickly, and it will send us through the heavenly space to the forest. ”

"It's thanks to you. Jiang Yao said gratefully. "It's great to have met you, thank you, White Pheasant. ”

"Don't, don't say that, since we're friends, it's right to help each other. The white pheasant's cheeks flushed, and he said with a slight face. "Time is running out, so let's hurry. ”

After saying that, the white pheasant turned to the huge feather in the air again, and the spell light in his hand flashed again, and the feather flew to the three of them as if it had received an order.

"Just sit down with me, don't worry, this manned treasure is very stable. ”

The white pheasant instructed, and with a slight leap of his toe rested firmly on the huge feather, which did not sink at all, and was not at all as fragile as it seemed.

"Come on, quick. ”

As he spoke, the white pheasant turned around and stretched out his hand, pulling Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue on the feathers.

"Are you ready? Hold on, let's go!"

"Whew—"

As soon as the words fell, only to hear the howl of the breaking wind, the huge white feather carried Jiang Yao and the three of them straight towards the upside-down inky forest in the air, and disappeared into the rusty red sky.

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

"Rumble......

A loud roar wafted from somewhere far away, and Mu Jianyun raised his head and looked at the misty swamp hanging upside down in the rusty red sky, his eyebrows slightly locked.

"Is it another space collapse? It's the fifth time......

Mu Jianyun muttered and retracted his gaze, and swept his gaze back to the inky forest mixed with jagged boulders where he was.

The charred-colored trunks of the trees were fangs and claws in the gust of cold wind, like the remains of the fire, but the clusters of conifer-shaped black branches and leaves were left behind, which made the trees look like stiff clay sculptures, revealing a soulless weirdness. In stark contrast to this ghostly inky wood, the red stone pillar stands far ahead, majestic yet lonely.

"There are fewer and fewer challengers left, Jiang Yao ...... I wonder how it's going?"

Mu Jianyun looked around vigilantly, in the previous five hours, although he had overcome obstacles all the way, the series of challenger corpses he saw along the way reminded him that not everyone could be as thrilled as he was under the attack of the fallen demon monster, which made him even more worried about Jiang Yao's situation.

"That's it, it's not a way to think about it here, if his goal is also that stone pillar, then it should be in this direction, it's just ......"

Mu Jianyun looked at the extremely deep canyon blocking the road and frowned slightly. The only way to get in the direction of the pillar is to cross the canyon, but only if you can find your way through.

Do you want to take a detour......

Mu Jianyun looked up at the towering red stone pillar in the distance, sighed helplessly, turned around and prepared to find another way out, but at this moment, he suddenly found that a mysterious black shadow suddenly appeared in the dense forest not far behind him.

Hmmm? That's ......

Mu Jianyun's expression moved, and he immediately dodged and hid behind a tree, and looked forward cautiously.

In front of his line of sight, a thin gray-haired girl was standing sideways behind the bushes, her beautiful face expressionless, and those sapphire eyes staring intently at the ground, not knowing what she was looking at.
