Song qingxiao’s body was also thrown into the air by this force. Number six’s eyes were filled with hope. He saw song qingxiao falling from the air like a floating duckweed that had lost its roots.
Other than the vine rope that was raised high, there was no place for her to land. She was afraid that she would fall into the valley.
At this moment, number six’s heart was in his throat. He even forgot to breathe. His heart was in turmoil. The moment song qingxiao landed, she touched the wooden board with the tip of her foot. She gathered her spiritual power and a chill came from her feet.
Ice crystals formed on the vine rope, freezing the vine rope that was swaying wildly!
With each step she took, a large piece of ice spread out along with her. With a cracking sound, an ice bridge of about ten meters long hung down diagonally.
It was as if above the clouds, someone had built an invisible ice bridge for her to cross!
Song qingxiao’s toes gently touched the ground, and a ‘ka’ sound came from the ice. The thin ice crystal cracked, and with this slowing momentum, song qingxiao slid down from the ice bridge at an incredible speed!
When she rushed over with the cold wind, number six couldn’t react at all. He couldn’t make any extra movements and could only Dodge sideways.
As soon as No. 5 landed, she also landed safely.
Only when she had stepped on the ground did the thin ice bridge crack open, and the ice on it fell down the cliff.
Only then did the high arched vine rope fall back down again, making an endless ‘swish swish’ sound.
Number one held the crossbow in one hand and an unloaded arrow in the other. He was dumbfounded.
When he came to his senses, his back was covered in cold sweat. He was even more afraid than when he was on the suspension bridge.
At this time, number one was secretly glad that he had not had the time to do anything. After seeing song Qing’s repeated actions, he did not even dare to have the slightest thought of resisting in front of her.
Under his strong desire to live, he made a prompt decision. He held the arrow and put it into his mouth, making an exaggerated gesture of picking his teeth. While picking, he also made a pretentious ‘PEI PEI’ sound, as if meat had just stuffed the gaps between his teeth.
“Hmph!” Song qingxiao looked at number one coldly and snorted.
Her face was deathly pale, and her arms were soaked in cold sweat and blood, trembling slightly.
In order to escape, she didn’t dare to hold back at all. She had almost exhausted the remaining spiritual power in her body. Now was not the time to settle scores with number one!
“Let’s go after number four.”
Under her stare, cold sweat poured out of number one’s body. He was afraid that she would make a move, but when he saw that she didn’t make a move and instead ordered them to chase after number four, he immediately heaved a long sigh of relief.
“Where’s that bastard number four? When I catch him, I’m going to skin him alive. How dare he trick us!”
He shouted loudly to hide the fear in his heart. Before anyone could answer, he heard someone snorting heavily. With the sound of footsteps, number five, who had turned into a huge black Gorilla, did not slow down after landing on the ground. He strode in the direction of number four.
Number one was stunned for a moment before following closely behind, afraid that number five would ‘perform’ first and steal the credit.
The few of them quickly chased after it. The tunnel exit on the other side of the suspension bridge was much larger than the other side.
The entire mountainside seemed to have been dug out by someone. In the dark, he could only estimate the approximate height of the mountainside by listening to the People’s voices and breathing.
Fortunately, after their eyes had adapted to the darkness, they quickly chased after it. The road became wider and wider as they walked. A faint light shone from somewhere, making the surrounding light hazy.
This ray of light was extremely weak, but in such an environment, it was exceptionally eye-catching. The few of them followed the light and soon saw the source of the light.
The cultivators seemed to have stepped into a square. Number one’s eyes turned and he immediately noticed number Four’s figure.
“He’s there!”
He stretched out his hand and shouted in pleasant surprise. His voice spread throughout the mountain, and everyone seemed to hear someone shouting,
“He’s there…”
“He’s there…”
“He’s… He’s…”
“Over there… Over there…”
Number one’s loud voice was all around. Other than that, the wind and the sound of falling rocks that they had heard at the suspension bridge earlier had completely disappeared.
Within song qingxiao’s line of sight, she saw an unusually wide square. It was dark all around, as if there was no end.
At the center of the square, there was a platform with hundreds of circular steps. The dim light that everyone had discovered earlier came from the higher part of the platform.
There was a rice-white Halo on it, as if a cold white Pearl was embedded in the black Tower.
Number Four’s figure appeared at a corner of the square. At the foot of the stairs, the refugees who had left earlier were already preparing to climb up the stairs. It was obvious that this flight of stairs was likely the only way out of the terror Battalion!
However, the stairs were cylindrical in shape, and there were no specific buildings around, so it was difficult to distinguish North, South, East, and West.
The square was surrounded by darkness. If they chased into the square and took a few more steps, they might not even be able to tell which direction they came from when they turned back.
It was important to kill number four, but song qingxiao didn’t hate him as much as she had shown.
Under such circumstances, even though number four had almost killed her, she remained calm and did not lose her head because of hatred.
She had always been a cautious person, especially in the trials. She was even more unwilling to make any mistakes, afraid that one mistake would cost her life.
“No. 1.” She suddenly said.
The moment number one spoke, number four seemed to know that they had caught up, so he rushed towards the stairs like a madman.
Number one wanted to stop number four, but when he heard song qingxiao’s voice, he felt a chill down his spine. He shivered.
In that split second of delay, number five jumped up and chased after number four.
He was tall and agile in his animalistic form, like a non-human monster in the dark. He caught up with number four in a few breaths!
“Roar!”
Number five let out a deafening roar, shaking the refugees who were climbing the stairs in front of them. They stopped in fear and turned back. Number five had caught up with number four and reached out a giant hand full of black hair!
Number four felt that something was amiss. By the time he heard the wind, it was too late to hide!
The fingers reached his back and easily pierced through his body, penetrating his chest.
Number four was still running instinctively, but in the next moment, he felt a numbing sensation on his back. Then, he heard the sound of his spine being broken. Several fingers broke through his clothes and appeared on his chest. He was forcibly pulled up and hung in the air.
An excruciating pain appeared in number Four’s mind.. He instinctively wanted to turn his head in horror, but his fingers that were still bleeding suddenly clenched!
