"Xingyue...... Lu Xingyue!"

Seeing that Lu Xingyue had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yao couldn't calm down anymore, he hurriedly shouted loudly, while looking back and forth at the procession in front and behind, trying to find Lu Xingyue's figure. However, because he was obstructed by the demonstrators in the hats, and the sobs of the suona drowned out his shouts, even though he tried to find it, he still received no response.

Worst...... Shouldn't he have been "tricked" by him?

Recalling the strange "hallucination" he had inexplicably fallen into before, Jiang Yao still had palpitations. If it weren't for the Chiyou soul in his body just now, Jiang Yao was really not sure if he could regain his senses, and now Lu Xingyue had also disappeared mysteriously, which made him have some bad associations.

No, we have to find him quickly, or else......

"Whoaaa——!!a

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Yao suddenly heard a heart-rending scream coming from the rear of the team! Jiang Yao's face changed, and he suddenly didn't care about it, turned around and struggled to push away the silent procession of marchers behind him, and ran towards the end of the line against the flow of people.

"Is that you?" Lu Xingyue ——! Lu ......"

Before the words fell, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of Jiang Yao's eyes, and he saw a sharp dagger slamming out of the crowd of parades and flying straight towards Jiang Yao's front door!

“……！！”

Almost a knee-jerk reaction, Jiang Yao reflexively shrank his head down, and the blade of the dagger flew past his scalp, instantly disappearing into the woods behind him.

What's the situation!?

The frightened Jiang Yao hurriedly looked up and looked forward, and was catching a glimpse of a tall figure dressed in black flashing through the crowd, and before he could see the person's appearance clearly, he was suddenly kicked from behind, and immediately stumbled and fell on the mountain road. At this time, the marchers on both sides seemed to be ignoring all this, and one by one they lowered their heads and silently stepped past Jiang Yao, gradually leaving him behind.

"Hmm...... It hurts......" Jiang Yao gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, but at this moment, he found that there seemed to be a shadow in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw a man covered in blood with a wooden stick, slashing at his head and covering his face!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the crumbs of the wooden stick were scattered on the stone steps, and under the violent impact, the thick wooden stick with the thick mouth of the bowl suddenly broke in two. Jiang Yao, who was lucky enough to avoid the attack, looked at the wooden stick smashed on the rock, and then moved his surprised gaze to the strange man wielding the wooden stick in front of him.

"Monsters, monsters...... I'm going to...... Kill you!!"

The man's face was hideous, his eyes were in a trance, his face and clothes were stained with blood, and his words were also chaotic. However, unfortunately, at this moment, the "monster" in this person's mouth seemed to be locked on Jiang Yao's body, and when he couldn't hit it, the man threw down the wooden stick, took out a dagger from his body, and staggered towards Jiang Yao.

Oops!

Jiang Yao's heart suddenly felt bad, at this moment, he was unarmed, it was almost impossible to bypass this crazy man on such a narrow mountain road, and it was even more self-defeating to go forward in hand-to-hand combat;

"Kill, kill you...... Kill you!!"

The man muttered, holding a dagger to block the mountain road in front of him, and approached Jiang Yao step by step, and the desperate Jiang Yao could only slowly retreat carefully and slowly and distance himself from the man. Just a few steps back, Jiang Yao felt that he seemed to have hit something at his feet, and when he looked down, he was shocked to realize that there was a corpse under his feet that was almost in a different place.

“！？”

Jiang Yao was shocked, but he soon found that there was more than one corpse lying on the ground, only to see that the stone steps behind him were piled up with dozens of corpses covered with scars, and the thick bloody qi spread down the mountain road along the mountain road with the flowing blood plasma, staining the mountain road below into a bloody color.

What's going on? here...... What the hell is going on!?

Jiang Yao was terrified, and the man in front of him attacked with a dagger at this time. Seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly leaned over and dodged from under the dagger, and kicked the man's knee with a sweeping leg, the latter crooked, staggering and about to fall into the forest on the side, and at this time, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Jiang Yao's clothes, and dragged Jiang Yao, who was caught off guard, out of the mountain road.

Not good!!

Seeing that Jiang Yao was about to fall down the hillside, but at this moment, a pale yellow light rope suddenly burst out from the side, instantly wrapped around Jiang Yao's waist, Jiang Yao only felt that his body was light, and then he was pulled back to the mountain road by volley, and fell on the stone steps.

"Uh-huh......!"

Jiang Yao covered his aching buttocks, feeling that his waist was about to break, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a helpless voice sound from his side:

"Whew...... It's so dangerous, it's finally time to catch up. ”

Jiang Yao raised his head and found that Lu Xingyue was actually standing in front of him, leaning over and stretching out his hand to him.

"Don't you hurry up? This is not the time to be in a daze. ”

"Xingyue ......?" Seeing the missing Lu Xingyue suddenly appear, Jiang Yao was overjoyed, and quickly stood up with Lu Xingyue's support. "Where did you go before? I thought something had happened to you!"

"It's not going to happen, but it's getting into a bit of trouble......"

Lu Xingyue said, turning her head to look at the mountain road behind her, her face was a little gloomy.

"What the hell is going on here?" Jiang Yao hurriedly asked. "Who are these people......

"These people were fascinated by 'ghost music', attacked each other and killed each other, and finally became like this. Lu Xingyue sighed.

"The procession was nothing unusual at first, but soon after a lot of people stopped as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, and then they began to go crazy...... And we were scattered at that time. ”

"Self-...... Killing?" Jiang Yao said in astonishment. "But the previous team was obviously normal, and I didn't notice anything, right?"

"That's because you were so confused by the 'ghost music' that you couldn't perceive anything from the outside world. Lu Xingyue looked at Jiang Yao and sighed softly.

"'Ghost music'?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the illusion he had fallen into before, and his heart suddenly "chuckled". "What do you mean...... Could it be ......"

"It's the music played by the suona. Lu Xingyue said.

"It's a long-lost evil song that can manipulate people's minds, and the paper coffins and other things carried by this team are all applied with suggestive spells, and people who don't have a high level of cultivation are easy to be induced to go crazy, and then attack each other...... At first, I didn't notice that this team was tired, but then I realized that you had already been tricked when something was wrong, and before I could save you, you ran away. ”

"So the man just now, was also affected by that 'ghost music'......" Thinking of the man covered in blood before, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a chill, but he quickly thought of something, and hurriedly turned to Lu Xingyue worriedly, looking up and down.

"By the way, you...... You're not hurt, are you?"

"Don't worry, with my cultivation, this 'ghost music' can't affect me. Lu Xingyue shook her head, although her mouth was comforting, her face seemed to be a little tired. "It's just that I had to guard against those crazy people and find you, and it took a little effort. ”

"It's okay if you're okay......" Jiang Yao lowered his head, and was afraid for a while. "But why did this team set such a trap? and that strange group of 'marchers'...... Who are they?"

"If I'm not mistaken...... I'm afraid this is part of the 'challenge' of the 'ghost market', and those 'marchers' should be the 'examiners' who have been sent to test us. ”

Lu Xingyue looked up at the long mountain road, her brows furrowed. "Your previous assumption should be correct, the 'special challenge' has begun, and if you want to reach the 'ghost gate' on the invitation, you have to go through this real 'ghost gate journey'. Besides......"

Lu Xingyue paused, then turned his head and cast his gaze under the mountain road where the fog was rising.

"Besides, even if we want to quit now, we can't get out. ”

Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, turned his head to look in the direction indicated by Lu Xingyue, and found that the mountain road below had disappeared little by little in the mist;

"It's ...... What's the situation!?"

Faced with the unbelievable scene in front of him, Jiang Yao even had some doubts about whether he was still in the illusion, and the corpses that were crawling on the mountain path below were also as if they were being eaten up by space, and gradually fell into nothingness as the stairs disappeared, and there was no trace of them.

"This should be a moving alien space, there are enchantments on both sides of the mountain road, if you just fell out like this, it is estimated that you will be like these corpses, I don't know where they will be transmitted. Lu Xingyue said.

"In this case, this alternate space should be moving with the procession, and if we don't keep up with the procession, we will be swallowed up by the collapsed space behind us. ”

"In other words, now we have to go back to that parade......" Jiang Yao muttered. "But once you're back in the group, you're probably going to be fooled by the 'ghost music', and it's even harder to predict what will happen then. ”

"Don't worry, as I said earlier, this 'ghost music' will only have an impact on people who don't have a high level of cultivation. And since you were able to get out of the illusion before, you shouldn't be affected a second time. Lu Xingyue explained. "This alien space is about to be moved, we can't stay any longer, let's go. ”

After speaking, Lu Xingyue turned around, pulled Jiang Yao and rushed towards the team above.

"......" Jiang Yao looked at the innocent victims in silence, and his heart gradually sank.

Is this the 'special challenge' of the "ghost market"? so many lives have been lost...... What exactly are the so-called "organizers" thinking?

Jiang Yao sighed, he finally looked back at the corpses that had fallen into nothingness, then turned his head, gritted his teeth and left in grief and indignation......
