I saw that the candles in the lantern did not decrease in the slightest.

You must know that this lantern has been burning for a while, and the candle has not decreased, which is obviously unreasonable.

"Can you explain?" Yueniang said.

"It's not the real world." Xia Ji said.

"You mean, it's an illusory place, like a dream?" Yueniang said.

"It's not completely illusory, but the virtual and the real are mixed together, and it's more appropriate to describe it as chaos." Xia Ji thought for a while.

Yueniang listened to Xia Ji's words and was thoughtful.

It's not the first time he's experienced such a chaotic world.

The last time there was a similar world, it was a gloomy manor, and he and several survivors were hunted down by a butcher.

The manor had a low wall, but it was impossible to climb over.

The low wall was less of a physical barrier and more of a mental constraint.

Later, Xia Ji repaired the generator, opened the gate of the manor, and successfully escaped.

Because of this mission, Xia Ji learned a very practical skill, but it was inconvenient to use it in front of others.

"Don't be left behind, you guys." Luo Dingqiang urged.

The staircase was so strange that after a distance, the walls on either side disappeared, leaving only darkness.

The firelight is reflected, and the winding stone steps under your feet seem to hang in the endless universe.

If you slip under your feet, you will fall into the endless darkness on both sides, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Everyone was terrified, but there was no other way but to walk forward along the steps.

I don't know how long it took to walk, everyone was tired and hungry, but the stone steps still had no end in sight, as if they were endless.

"How long is this going to be?" Zuo Lu complained.

"Are we spinning in circles?" Han Yun said.

Han Yun's words suddenly woke everyone up.

Everyone has long felt that something is wrong, and the stone steps under their feet are repeated, and they all look similar, and they don't know if they have really walked so far.

"Make a mark, if it's a way back, you'll definitely see it again."

Yueniang said, with a touch of two fingers, a crescent-shaped dent was wiped at the corner of the stone steps, like flour, and the internal strength was so good, even Lu Tianlong admired it.

After making the mark, everyone continued to walk forward for a while, and sure enough, they found the crescent moon mark they had made before on a certain stone step.

"We've been moving forward, how did we get back?" Luo Dingqiang was puzzled.

"There are twenty-seven steps." Yueniang said.

That is, this stone staircase loops every twenty-seven steps.

"Try again." Lu Tianlong said.

The crowd moved forward again, and sure enough, they found the crescent-shaped mark again.

In other words, the road that has been walked for a long time has always been standing still.

Only Luo Dingqiang brought a little dry food, which had already been eaten, and he was already tired and hungry, so he couldn't stand it anymore, so he sat down in place to rest.

"This is the Ecstasy Ladder!" Zuo Hao shouted.

The Ecstasy Ladder is a folklore that says that after entering the Ecstasy Ladder, you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life and will never be able to get out.

When everyone thought of the terrifying rumors of the Ecstasy Ladder, their hearts sank, and their faces became more and more ugly.

"Did you know this was the Ecstasy Ladder?" Luo Dingqiang was angry in his heart and grabbed Cai Wang.

"It's wrong, I've been staying at the shrine, how can I know?" Cai Wang shouted.

"Let's go back and try it." Lu Tianlong said.

Going forward is a continuous cycle, and falling into the darkness on both sides is tantamount to suicide, so there is only one way to go backwards.

Go backwards.

Go backwards.

The crescent mark reappears.

Everyone was stunned, whether this stone staircase was going up or down, it was repeatedly circulating, it was really endless, and it would never end.

Lu Tianlong, Yueniang and others can also be regarded as strong figures in the martial arts, but in the face of this stone step, there is a deep sense of powerlessness.

It's not walking, it's not smashing, it's not jumping, this ordinary stone step makes everyone realize what real horror is.

"Everyone is tired, let's sleep first, don't worry, we will always find a way out." After Lu Tianlong finished speaking, he half-leaned on the stone steps, but he didn't even believe what he said.

The crowd rested for half the night, and it was estimated that it was half a night, because there was no time here.

When I woke up, I was still facing the damn stone steps, and I still had no choice, and the hunger in my stomach was even more unbearable.

"I wouldn't have entered this castle if I had known." Luo Ding said.

"Isn't there no way, if you don't come in, you'll be suffocated by the black fog." Zuo Hao sighed.

"I said you can't come, you have to come." Cai Wang smiled, quite a bit of schadenfreude.

Xia Ji has been paying attention to Cai Wang, and he knows that in order to solve the dilemma, he must start from this person.

Xia Ji heard Cai Wang's words, and he screamed in his heart, Luo Dingqiang and Zuo Hao are not good-tempered people, and they must be angry with him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Dingqiang did not get angry, but stood up, stared at Cai Wang, and suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Lu, you see that although this old man is old, his skin is not bad." ”

"It's pretty white, and it shouldn't taste bad." Lu Tianlong nodded.

"What? Are you not afraid of hurting the heavens and reason? Cai Wang jumped up and was frightened.

Xia Ji and Yueniang glanced at each other, and they also felt that their scalps were numb.

"If Lao Tzu doesn't slaughter your old sheep, will he starve to death?" Luo Dingqiang smiled fiercely and glanced at Han Yun again, "Kill the old sheep first, and keep the little sheep to eat later." ”

Han Yun screamed in fright and hid behind Xia Ji.

"Senior Lu, this is too much." Yueniang frowned.

"Moon girl, I'll give you a share." Lu Tianlong said lightly.

Although Yueniang couldn't get used to it, she didn't want to conflict on this matter, so she took a step back.

Zuo Hao pulled out his waist knife, and Luo Dingqiang held a small short knife.

The two grinned, their faces hideous, like two hungry wolves, and slowly approached Cai Wang.

"Hahahaha......" Cai Wang suddenly raised his head and laughed.

His laughter resounded strange in the endless darkness.

"When death comes, what are you laughing at?" Luo Dingqiang said strangely.

"I knew you were uneasy, look at what this is......"

Before Cai Wang's words fell, a strange scene happened.

I saw his head, suddenly turning in a circle three hundred and sixty degrees, his bloodshot eyeballs bulging out, staring at Luo Dingqiang.

"This ...... What the hell is this? ”

Luo Dingqiang was startled, retreated backwards, and almost fell into the air.

At this time, something even stranger happened, after Cai Wang's head rotated in a circle, he suddenly flew into the air, broke off his neck, and flew into the darkness.

Immediately after, Cai Wang's headless body also jumped backwards and fell into the dark abyss.

"Flying head!"

Xia Ji muttered, he recognized Cai Wang's strange appearance, it was the statue of the previous shrine's door guard, Feitou Man.
