The crowd was sucked into the inner world.

Everyone only felt that they were transported to a strange place in front of their eyes.

In the dim world, the light is unclear. You can faintly see the russet mountains, undulating on the barren land.

High in the distance, a huge sarcoma heart hangs from a very distant distance.

Around the heart, a mist of blood rolled. The atmosphere is eerie, eerie, very oppressive and unsettling.

"Oh my God, this is... What is it?! ”

Suddenly, there was a desperate exclamation in his ears, and a man raised his hand to the front.

Everyone followed the prestige, and then their faces turned pale, and the despair began to spread rapidly, and fear enveloped everyone's hearts.

At a glance, on the ground in front of you, there are mountains of white bones. As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of ghost fires, as if you have come to hell.

A huge stone staircase leads from the ground to the sky, like a ladder to the sky. It stretched out towards the evil heart in the sky, a kilometer high, with no end in sight.

Each stone step is two or three meters high, and at first glance it is not designed for humans.

The staircase is not a straight line, but nine turns and eighteen turns, connecting nine ancient palaces as huge as pyramids, each higher than the other, magnificent.

And that evil heart is located at the top of the ninth hall, like a king, high above all beings.

How appalling is this scene?

Everyone present was stunned, and for a moment did not know how to react.

Rumble!!

Suddenly, the heart swelled, pulsating violently, bursting into a thick blood-colored halo. The blood wave is centered on the heart and spreads in a circular shape.

The red tide of energy roared and raged from a height of hundreds of meters above everyone's heads, sweeping out at high speed, vigorous and amazing.

However, the aftermath of some waves of anger still affected the crowd.

"Ahh

In the crowd, several students immediately bled and fell unconscious, suffering from very serious soul pollution, seriously injured and dying.

But that's not the most desperate of all.

When the blood-colored energy spread out like a tide, delaying to the edge of space, like a raging ocean crashing against a reef, it rolled back from the distant earth with a faster speed and greater momentum, like a low tide, rolling towards everyone, trying to swallow and drown them.

Wherever the blood-colored energy passed, the sky and the earth cracked, and the void it passed through was twisted and collapsed inch by inch, as if it could disintegrate all matter, which was quite terrifying.

"Blanch, what the hell is this place?!"

"It's over, I'm going to die!"

"Run, it's over if you catch up!"

"Lao Lu, your, Wei'er, think of a way!"

……

Everyone let out exclamations and couldn't help but scream.

Death is near.

No one can remain indifferent.

"Don't panic, go that way." Lu Xun quietly glanced around with his delusional true pupils, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone steps, and said to everyone, "If you go up the steps, you can avoid the blood tide, without further ado, let's leave immediately." ”

From the horizon thousands of meters away, the tide of blood-colored energy was rolling in, overwhelming the sky and drowning everything.

Judging by the Delusional True Pupil, the only safe area in the entire space is the ladder.

Hearing this, everyone hesitated.

Ladder to the sky... Isn't it approaching that evil heart?

That was the source of chaos, the most terrifying presence in the entire rift.

It's too late to hide from that thing, and the closer you get to it, the more serious the mental pollution will become, and it will kill people.

Seeing this, your did not hesitate at all, and shouted:

"If you want to live, just listen to my brother Lu. Walk! ”

Without saying a word, it summoned the evil spirits and skeleton warriors, carried the seriously wounded, and ran wildly towards the ladder.

That blood-colored tide can hurt the soul body, and the void of the necromantic clan is useless, and it can't withstand it at all.

Once submerged, even king-level creatures will be destroyed in an instant, devoured completely...... Not to mention the people who were there.

"I feel that the large rift will not be so simple, this is the difficulty of the Saint King level, and it will not allow us to survive easily."

Vile sighed.

Previously, in the watch world, everyone crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the river by bridge, and finally arrived at the safe zone. I thought I was out of danger and turned around.

As a result, he suddenly changed the map and was sucked into the inner world, directly leaving everyone in a desperate situation.

If you can't afford to play, you can't afford to play it? It's outrageous!

"One step at a time, right now, there's no other way."

She dropped a word to everyone, then turned around and followed Lu Xun and your.

The crowd was desperate and helpless, so they had to follow.

What is a real desperate situation?

Even if you know that there is a high probability that there is a dead end ahead, but you have no choice but to step on it, and you can live for a while.

The ladder is not far from everyone.

After sprinting for more than ten seconds, everyone climbed the first stone steps.

Everyone looked into the distance, and the blood-colored tide rushed towards the horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye, overwhelming the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the front of the eye.

What does it feel like to be slapped in the face by a tsunami hundreds of meters high?

Many people were so frightened that they closed their eyes, thinking they were going to die.

But he never thought that the moment the blood wave approached the ladder, it was blocked and bounced away by the invisible barrier.

They diverted their own water, bypassing the stone steps and passing by, without intruding on the ladder.

It is like a sacred realm and a holy place that cannot be transgressed.

"Whew~"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces eased slightly, and their hanging hearts relaxed.

Lu Xueba's judgment of the situation is once again accurate!

For the rest of their lives, the crowd sat weakly on the ground, exhausted.

However, Lu Xun's next sentence made their hearts rise again-

"Don't rejoice too soon, you see."

Lu Xun stretched out his hand and pointed to the blood-colored sea under his feet, and said in a deep voice: "The tide is going to rise, if we want to live, we have to continue to go up, we can't stop." ”

Rising tide?

The crowd looked at the sea of blood.

However, no signs of high tide were found.

It's obviously safe to stay on the stone steps, I don't know why Lu Xun said this?

The next moment, however, they understood......

Bang!

Once again, there was a familiar loud noise from the Nine Heavens, deafening.

It's the evil heart.

It shook again, bursting with the same blood-colored tide as before.

The tide of blood swept and raged, throwing itself into the distance from a high altitude.

As a result, on the distant horizon, there were roaring waves again, and a new wave of blood-colored energy rolled in.

Everyone: "......"

Only then did everyone understand what Lu Xun meant by the so-called "rising tide".

The evil heart, which is the source of chaos, is like a fountain.

It erupts intermittently, releasing this blood-colored mystical energy.

With each wave, the sea level continues to rise by tens of meters. Although the Blood Wave will not destroy or damage the Ladder under the rules of this place, the crowd is not a part of the Ladder.

As the tide rose and gradually submerged and ascended, the stone steps were unharmed, but they left no bones left.

"It's playing with us, it's teasing us...... Grass mud horse! Why don't you kill Lao Tzu? A boy lost control of his emotions and had a nervous breakdown, and suddenly ignored the warning, looked up at the evil heart, and let out a hysterical roar, "What about playing Nima? If you want to kill, come and give Lao Tzu a good time! ”

Obviously, after experiencing so much mental stimulation, people with normal physical and mental health are a little unbearable, not to mention those with poor psychological endurance, who are more likely to lose control and collapse.

All the people present were basically some high school students, some underage, and some had just come of age.

Not everyone has a strong will to live.

When people have endured hardship and realize that there is little hope, it is easy for the weak-willed to give up on themselves.

Damn, it's so hard to live, pull down when you're dead, swing away!

Anyway, if you go up, you're dead.

If you don't want to be swallowed by the sea of blood, you have to climb the ladder, but the closer you get to that evil heart, the more polluted it will become.

If a mortal goes up a few dozen steps, it is estimated that he will be cold.

Even the two magicians, your and Vier, after entering the core of the heart, their souls will be polluted.

In the end, you have to die, and no one wants to live!

In that case, what else do I have to toss?

In despair, wait for death to come slowly.

It's too tormenting.

Better a finger off than always aching!

This classmate is going to jump into the sea.

Your eyes are quick, and he directly "snapped" a hand knife, stunting him on the spot.

But he wasn't the only one who had a nervous breakdown.

Originally, normal people did not have the courage to seek death.

But after ascending the stone steps, everyone's spirits were affected by that heart, and they became irritable and emotional.

Under the influence of evil things, the sense of despair in everyone's hearts has been infinitely magnified.

A few seconds later, several more students broke down and were about to jump into the sea.

"Mori no Sleep."

Vile unleashed a spell.

In the snort, gorgeous dark purple flowers grew, exuding a rich fragrance.

The fragrance of flowers hypnotizes them all, causing several people who have lost control to fall into a deep sleep and quiet down.

"Don't give up easily, Brother Lu." Your whispered to Lu Xun, "Take a deep breath and stay awake, I won't let you jump into the sea until the last moment!" ”

"Rest assured, I'm not that vulnerable." Lu Xun couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Even if he jumped into the sea, he would be fine.

These blood-colored energies are fatal to others, but to him, they are just small insect carving skills.

The flesh is invincible and fearless.

He started gluttony, and was even able to drink up the sea of blood.

Lu Xun glanced at the embarrassed people, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless and a little sorry.

And all the people suffered this great calamity, but it was all thanks to his prayer.

Although he didn't mean to harm these classmates, in the final analysis, it was still the risk associated with his chance that involved them.

"There is no endless road, hold on a little longer, we will all survive, and no one will die."

Lu Xun reassured the classmates.

Then he looked at your and Viel: "Continue to walk up the ladder, enter the first palace, and maybe there will be new discoveries." ”

"Uh-huh."

"Okay."

The two nodded.

Your summoned evil spirits and skeleton warriors to bring with them those with limited mobility.

Then the group forcibly cheered up, cheered up, and began to climb the stone steps.

There are hundreds of steps, each of which is two or three meters high.

It didn't take long to climb.

Waves of blood roared, and the sea level rose by a large margin.

After a while, the evil heart erupted again, releasing a massive amount of red seawater...... The third wave is coming.

Cycle.

However, with the climbing speed of everyone, it can completely lead the speed of the rising tide.

Soon, they arrived at the gates of the first palace.

The palace is shaped like a pyramid in the shape of an inverted triangle, and the surface is covered with huge square rocks, and the buildings are majestic.

The crowd stopped at the gate.

"The front door is open." Wei'er observed for a moment, and then said to Lu Xun, "We have to enter the main gate, pass through this palace, and leave through the back door before we can continue to go up the stone steps." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces were solemn.

This dark and deep gate, as if leading to hell and the abyss, gives people a sense of extreme foreboding.

Once you step inside, there's no turning back, and anything terrible can happen.

The atmosphere was once again depressed.

"In general, like this situation, there must be danger in the palace. Have you noticed that the structure of this rift resembles a well-designed game? Nine palaces, like nine levels. Your wanted to lighten the mood, so he said in a joking tone, "And that heart is the final boss." Hahaha, let's just treat it as a game, don't be afraid. ”

However, after hearing this, instead of relaxing, everyone became even more afraid!

… There was silence.

If you really compare this large rift to a game.

That is tantamount to letting them, the rookie pioneers who are not yet level 5, form a group to challenge the level 1000 demon king.

Nightmare dungeon on Saint King difficulty, plus completely unfamiliar mechanics.

The most important thing is that everyone has only one life.

There is no chance of resurrection.

If you want to escape the rift alive, you must clear the level with one life.

… It's impossible to do no matter how you think about it, right?

The first level will have you on your knees!

"Alas~"

The crowd sighed.

The gate is right in front of you.

This team, not to mention the "high play" of the saint king level, does not even have a lord or a king level!

At this moment, there are only two choices in front of you:

1. Turn around and jump into the sea.

2. Go in and find death.

… The ending is the same anyway.

But if you want to jump into the sea, you have already jumped.

Since I came, I struggled to climb the stairs for half a day.

If you have to choose a way to die, you must choose the second one!

"Huh? Wait a minute! Look, what's that? Suddenly, a voice of surprise rang out in everyone's ears.

It was Lu Xueba who spoke.

The students turned their heads and followed the direction of his finger, and in the lower left corner of the gate, they saw a huge rock block.

It's two stories tall and looks like a giant egg.

Isn't it just an ordinary big rock?

Everyone wondered, what was so strange about this.

"Brother Lu, have you found anything?" "There's something wrong with this stone?" ”

"There's a big problem!"

Lu Xun's expression was very serious, as he spoke, he raised his legs and walked straight over, looked around the stone carefully, and then looked at everyone seriously:

"I have a lot of geographical knowledge, this type of rock, by no means naturally formed, but there are no traces of modern processing, and its texture is very strange. Most likely, it is an elemental creation, a rock formed by magic. ”

Magic?

Everyone was stunned.

Before he could react, he heard Lu Xun continue: "Wei'er, big bone, you come and have a look." I suspect there's something in this stone! ”

The two were called over.

A moment later.

"Shhh

"it!"

Weier and Big Bone reacted in shock, and the two suddenly looked up and looked at each other.

"There is a breath of life." Wei'er's beautiful eyes widened, extremely surprised, "Yes... You can't go wrong. Although it is extremely well hidden, we elves have a strong sense of the breath of life. ”

"And soul power fluctuations!" Your hurriedly added, "We necromancyrs are also quite sensitive to the perception of souls. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

There is the breath of life, there are fluctuations in soul power...

… In other words, inside this ancient boulder, there is a living thing sealed!!

How is this possible?

Could it be that a certain predecessor who entered this rift thousands of years ago?

For unknown reasons, I was trapped.

After being sealed for so long, he (she) is still alive!

How strong is that?!

it!

Thinking of this, everyone was refreshed, and their already desperate eyes regained their highlights.
