"Starlight."

"Instantaneous."

The two cold words were pronounced, and Yu Menglin suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, and before he could figure out what was happening, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.

"Brother Yu, you're here too."

When he finally regained consciousness, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Yu Wencheng! Aren't you eliminated? Yu Menglin opened his eyes and asked subconsciously.

In my eyes, it was indeed the young master of the Yu family, Yu Wencheng, who was wearing a black robe and embroidered with a hundred beast patterns on the robe.

"That's why Brother Yu can see me here." Yu Wencheng smiled politely, turned sideways, and pointed into the distance.

Then he said, "In this dusty place! ”

"Dust, the land?" Yu Menglin repeated the word in a low voice, and began to slowly look at where he was now.

A huge circular square made of white jade, there were seventy or eighty people in the square, all gathered in twos and threes, talking to each other.

Beyond the square, there is a bottomless void, empty.

This square is floating in this boundless void?

Eyes shifted, looking in the direction Yu Wencheng pointed: it was the center of the square.

In the center, there is a huge stone monument. On the stele, the golden characters flashed, and it seemed that something was written.

Looking past the stele and looking behind it, you can see pieces of white jade floating in the air, forming a ladder. Circle by circle, meandering, spiraling upward.

Looking up along the white jade staircase, there was still only a dark void, endless.

But if you keep looking and follow the stairs, you will finally reach a mysterious place that emits a hazy and colorful light.

"Here, exactly?" There was shock in Yu Menglin's eyes, and he said.

"The loser is gone, the land of dust." Yu Wencheng sighed faintly, his face sad.

He smiled lightly, his smile was a little bitter, as if he was helpless.

"Brother Yu, come with me to see the stone tablet." Yu Wencheng stretched out his hand to invite.

Yu Menglin nodded and didn't say much.

[The Loser Leaves, the Land of Dust]

The two of them paused, stood in front of the stele, and looked at the words on the stele.

"This first sentence should be an introduction to this place." Looking at the golden words, Yu Menglin pondered.

"Well, that's what everybody thinks." Yu Wencheng opened his mouth, agreed with the former's speculation, and introduced: "All the people here are people who have not died in the dense forest and have been eliminated. Therefore: the loser. ”

What?!

Yu Menglin's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly reached out and touched his left waist.

It's gone!

Yu Menglin's movements froze for a while.

For the sake of his safety, when he came out to practice, the head of the family, Yu Tianling, gave him a substitute puppet.

Substitute Puppet: As the name suggests, it is a puppet that dies in place of its owner.

After he refines the puppet, if it is fatally damaged, the damage will be transferred to the substitute puppet, which is equivalent to one more life.

But now, the puppet is gone.

That is, he "died once".

"It's your bad luck. After suppressing the cultivation, I couldn't use many of my methods, and now they have all recovered. Moreover, your eldest brother's sword is good. So, I have to deal with you as soon as possible. ”

Xing Ruolan's flat voice echoed in his mind again, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Moment......

In just a moment, Xing Ruolan can kill him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Jungle automatically regarded me as a "dead once" as an elimination, I might have really died at the hands of Xing Ruolan.

Thinking of this, Yu Menglin couldn't help but be afraid for a while, but at the same time, a deep sense of happiness appeared in his heart.

"Xing, Ruo, Lan ......" he pronounced the name word by word, and muttered, "What a terrible fellow." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Yu Menglin's murmuring, Yuwen Chengli even understood what was going on.

"It turned out that Brother Yu was eliminated by Xing Ruolan." Yu Wencheng showed a wry smile, looked at Yu Menglin with a little sympathy in his eyes, and said, "Xing Ruolan can be said to be the second demon person I have seen in my life. ”

"She's proficient in the art of star shifting. It is said that as early as when he was condensing the spirit, he attacked and killed a strong cultivator. ”

"Rumor: She was a new cultivator, and she was besieged by more than a dozen cultivators, and she won."

"According to the information in my palace, the latter rumor is true, and Xing Ruolan won without injury! Among the people besieging her was a fourth-stage cultivator. But those cultivators are all dead! ”

Listening to Yu Wencheng's introduction, Yu Menglin couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back, and his throat rolled subconsciously.

"In the same realm, Brother Yu was able to escape from this woman's hands, which really made Yu admire." Yu Wencheng arched his hand.

Then he joked again: "If I meet him in the dense forest, I am afraid I will not be able to come to this dust-eating place." ”

"Fluke, fluke."

Yu Menglin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and said "luck" twice. At the same time, he secretly thought to himself: Yu Wencheng and Xing Ruolan are worthy of being people in the same city, and they know her so well.

Alas, if I had known this information, I would have given her the mark as soon as we met, and it would not have been like this: not only was she eliminated, but the dead puppet was also lost.

Yu Menglin turned his attention to the stone tablet and looked at the second line of text.

[Forge the way to heaven, and wait for the road to counterattack].

Yu Menglin's gaze swept over the floating steps.

It seems that this is the way to fight back.

[Winner, go straight to the Treasure Tower].

[Loser, to the bottomless abyss].

After reading these two sentences, Yu Menglin subconsciously turned his gaze and looked at the endless void around him.

"Is there danger on this road?" Yu Menglin asked.

"Brother Yu, do you know the meaning of the word return?" Yu Wencheng did not answer, but asked a question instead.

"Leave and come back, come back and leave......" Yu Menglin pondered.

"Not bad." Yu Wencheng pointed to the glowing place with one hand, and then his fingers slowly fell back and fell on the first step.

"Left, back."

"If you fail, you'll return to the Dusty Lands and never be able to step on the first staircase again."

"Of course." Yu Wencheng pointed to a bloodstained place again: "You may also fall to death." ”

"Brother Yu, look." Yu Wencheng stepped on the first staircase.

His feet crossed the steps, as if the white jade staircase didn't exist.

"I've failed twice, and I can't go up the first two steps. To take on the challenge again, I had to jump up the third staircase and start going up. ”

Yu Menglin took a heavy breath.

The loser returns, the land of dust.

The way to heaven to the bottomless abyss......

Yu Menglin was shocked in his heart, "What is the danger on this ladder?" ”

"This place, cut off from the outside world, has air, but no food." Yu Wencheng shook his head, looked around the whole square, and answered some questions.

Yu Menglin didn't interrupt, he knew that Yu Wencheng still had something to say.

"Cultivating the gods, you can go without eating for a long time, but after all, it is not forever. If we can't leave, we will starve to death one day. ”

"There is no aura in the square, and here, we can't cultivate and improve the realm. Also, it is not possible to restore strength by absorbing aura. ”

Yu Menglin sighed silently.

When he observed before, he had noticed that some people had sallow faces, chapped lips, and their eyes were selective, but they did not attack others.

It turns out that here, with one point of strength, one point is less, and without the certainty of victory, who would dare to snatch others?

"Only by stepping on the stairs can you sense the aura. But once it comes down, it's a failed challenge. ”

"It's a dead end." Yu Wencheng pointed to the white jade staircase, his eyes were complicated, and he let out a long sigh before he slowly finished speaking: "It is also the only way to survive." ”

"Stairs, what's the danger?" Yu Menglin also became nervous.

Yu Wencheng held up three fingers.

"Layer by layer stronger than layer upon layer of gravitational restraint."

"When you step on a staircase, the stairs you have walked before will disappear, and there will be no way back."

"At the end of the stairs, there is a small platform. There is the most terrible gravitational bondage, the nearest ray of hope, and the ...... that stands in front of the light, the aura that will not be exhausted, and knows all our means."

Yu Wencheng took a deep breath and showed a somewhat weak smile:

"Yourself!"
