"Hmm, hmm...... Wow——!!"

Seeing the miserable death of the thousand-year-old carp spirit in the pit in front of him, the young man who had planned to trade with him at the beginning was so frightened that he suddenly took a few steps back, turned around and covered his mouth, and ran to the corner retching. Everyone looked at the corpse of the carp spirit and the four men who had turned into dried corpses before, and a sense of despair began to spread rapidly among the crowd.

"The living people went up, and it was only a long time, and they were all hung up ......!"

"It's miserable...... What the hell is going on up there!?"

"Anyway, the carp guy seemed to be shouting something before he fell, and he said...... 'Why did you get back to where you are?'"

"Who knows? Maybe it's stupid and stupid......

"Alas...... Who dares to go up now? Do we all have to give an account here!?"

……

Everyone present was discussing, and Jiang Yao and others also had different expressions. The grim reality in front of us reminds everyone of the great crisis that is coming, and the only way to escape is completely wiped out in this tragic precedent.

"The words that the carp spirit shouted from his mouth when he fell down just now...... Did you hear that?" Jiang Yao came back from his shock, and with some reluctance, he looked away from the fat old man's corpse, and turned his head to look at Lu Xingyue and the others beside him. "What do you think of these words?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the carp spirit was quite surprised by where he was before he fell. Mu Jianyun frowned and said in a low voice. And looking at the way he looked at the time, it didn't look like he was pretending, it was completely a subconscious real reaction. ”

"Could it be that the old man is insane?" Qiu Laosan scratched his head and put forward a hypothesis. "Don't you see the four dried corpses on the ground, maybe something terrible happened on the stone pillar!"

"Heh, that thousand-year-old carp monster has lived for so long, what haven't you seen? Do you think a few corpses scared him?"

Lu Xingyue snorted disdainfully, her gold and silver eyes swept over the four broken dried corpses in front of her, and sneered. "Not only have these people been drained of their essence, but there are no Neidan scales left in their corpses, and I'm afraid that these people were killed by that carp guy. As for why the carp guy suddenly rushed down later, there should be another reason. ”

"Anyway, the final state of the carp spirit is very abnormal, something must have happened on the stone pillar. Mu Jianyun raised his head and said solemnly. "Time is running out, we need to find another exit as soon as possible, or ......"

"Wait, everyone, look at it!"

The exclamation of the white pheasant made the nerves of everyone present suddenly tense, Jiang Yao and the others hurriedly looked above the stone pillar according to their words, and at a glance they saw that the dark clouds of thunder and lightning were pressing towards the people below! Not only that, but even the ominous rusty red sky was rapidly sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually devouring the red stone pillar that stood tall.

"Uhhh......——!hh The sky is falling!!"

"No, it can't be!

"We ...... We can't get out!!"

Seeing that the sky above was getting lower and lower in the field of vision, everyone present panicked, and the howl of ghosts and wolves suddenly rang out. And Jiang Yao looked at the approaching storm and the sky, and his heart was also uncertain, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a strange shadow in the gap of the dark clouds.

"Huh, behind the clouds...... It seems that there is something else!?" Jiang Yao's expression moved, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Is there something??" Lu Xingyue hurriedly followed, only to see that in the corner of the dark clouds blown away by the storm, a columnar shadow across the ground suddenly appeared. As the clouds and mist continued to disperse, he was surprised to find that the angle of the column-like shadow was constantly increasing...... No, to be exact, the shadow was rising from the approaching rust-red sky, and slowly connecting to the top of the red pillar.

"So, what is that thing......!?"

The crowd stared blankly at the identical pillar shadow that stood upside down on a red stone pillar, and their faces showed disbelief, and to their astonishment, they found that a gray-yellow earth had appeared at the top of the pillar shadow. Specks of black shadows hung upside down over the land, and those shadows were none other than ...... It was themselves who stood below at this very moment.

"It seems...... The day is not 'collapsed', but 'curled'......"

Mu Jianyun tilted his head and looked at the "earth" above that hung upside down in the sky like a vertical mirror, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"No wonder the carp spirit would say something like that before, it turns out that the space above and below this stone pillar has been distorted, and no matter how you climb, you will eventually return to the same place. ”

"That means ...... It's a dead end, we're all blocked here!?"

When Qiu Laosan's subordinates heard this, they were immediately frightened, and their whole people were swallowed up in despair.

"Woooooooooo......oo Liars!The 'Devil's Tooth Group' is full of liars!!They don't intend to let us out alive!!"

"What to do...... I don't want to die!!"

"I knew that I would lose my life, and I wouldn't have come to participate in any bullshit 'ghost market' when I was killed......!

"What's the use of crying, crying!? It's better to find another way to get out of here!" Qiu Laosan's eyes widened, and he scolded, but his slightly trembling palms accidentally revealed the same restlessness in his heart.

"No, we must not sit still! we have to find a way to ......" Jiang Yao looked at the desperate crowd, and then looked up at the distorted sky, and suddenly recalled in his mind what the 'He Luoyu' demon had said in the misty swamp:

[The body of this space is a magic circle that absorbs energy, and it is a 'black hole' that devours all living forms! If you can't absorb enough energy to break the magic circle, all the life forms here will eventually be digested as 'bait', because this space is 'alive'!]

"A circle that drains energy"...... If we can break this circle, maybe...... You can leave this space!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao's heart sank, and he raised his head and shouted to the people in front of him:

"Everyone, now that we have reached a critical juncture, there is only one way to get out - that is to gather the strength of everyone present and use mana to forcibly break through a certain magic circle in this space!"

"What circle? What are you talking about?"

In the face of Jiang Yao's sudden speech, everyone present looked at each other, except for Lu Xingyue and Mu Jianyun and others, the others seemed to know nothing about the existence of the magic circle in this space.

"Haven't you noticed that the mana in our bodies has been draining since we entered this space?" "In this space, a magic circle was arranged to absorb the energy of all living beings. As long as the magic circle is not broken, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave here!"

"What!?" Such a bombshell news made the faces of everyone present change greatly, but they reacted immediately, and their faces showed a look of sudden realization.

"Speaking of which...... It seems that the mana consumption during this challenge is a bit abnormal......"

"Yes, it costs several times more than usual!"

"Is it really like what this kid said, because of that magic circle??"

……

Jiang Yao's words made the depressed atmosphere of the scene a little shaken, and just when everyone was talking about it, Lu Xingyue came to Jiang Yao's side worriedly and muttered in a low voice:

"You...... Don't forget, you don't have the 'Green Stone' on you to help you cover up your demonic power attributes, if this group of third-class guys finds out that you have the 'power of a fierce beast', then it will be a big trouble!"

"Now our lives may not be saved, do you still care about this?" Jiang Yao shook his head and sighed. "Anyway, let's go out first, and then talk about the rest...... Let's figure it out later. ”

"But even if we gather everyone's mana, it may not be easy to break this spatial circle. Mu Jianyun walked up to Jiang Yao and said in a low voice. "The people who stay here are basically in a state of mana overdraft, and the number of people is only a few dozen. There were so many monsters in this space before, and even they couldn't break through the magic circle and escape together, not to mention the current group of people......"

"Is that ...... Is there no other solution?" Lu Xingyue thought about it, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly looked left and right in the crowd.

"Xingyue, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao asked.

"No, we're missing a guy...... As long as that guy is here, there are other ways to get out of here!" Lu Xingyue said. "Don't forget how we got out of that canyon cave in the first place, half-demon 'nothing'...... If he can use the thing he had in his hand at the beginning, he can travel through the space and escape from here!"

"......!" Mu Jianyun and Jiang Yao's faces changed at the same time, and they also realized that this might be the most feasible way for everyone to escape from here, so they hurriedly searched around the crowd with Lu Xingyue. To their disappointment, however, they did not find the gray-haired, blue-eyed figure in it.

"No...... There is no ...... everywhere Didn't he escape in the first place?" Jiang Yao said worriedly.

"No way, he was right next to us. Even the three of us escaped, and there was no reason why he couldn't get out. Lu Xingyue said with a frown. "Worst of all, he's already left on his own with that thing. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, maybe you're hiding somewhere. Mu Jianyun wiped the sweat from his face and looked around at the crowd of black and oppressive people around him. "Then again, it's not just that half-demon 'nothing', don't you think there are a few people missing?"

Mu Jianyun said slowly with a calm face.

"The previous manager of the Liu family's medicine store, as well as the two 'Black Shark Brothers'...... It's all gone!"
