Many people have been entangled with vines all over their bodies. Their expressions are extremely painful, and their death patterns vary. After someone was entangled by vines, their appearance rapidly aged, their bodies seemed to be squeezed dry and their heads were covered with skin. Finally, they fell to the ground and shattered like fragile glass. There are also some vines that seem to be carrying sharp blades, instantly cutting those they come into contact into countless pieces. The victim didn't even have time to scream, and he died tragically on the spot. What's even more frightening is that when those people's bodies were cut, not a trace of blood flowed out. Jiang Cheng saw that there were countless small openings on the vines, and they were surrounded by a circle of fine teeth. The moment the blood flows out, those small mouths generate strong suction, sucking in all the blood. The vines that had sucked the blood gradually turned from dark brown to bright red, and bright flowers bloomed among the branches and leaves. The flowers exude a strong fragrance, mixed with the smell of blood in the air, giving people a feeling of ecstasy and nausea at the same time.
The remaining people yelled crazily, and some almost jumped off the cliff behind them without looking back in order to avoid being touched by the vines. In their opinion, perhaps falling to death would be better than suffering such horrific torture.
Only a handful of people like Jiang Cheng and the others still maintained a trace of sanity, but they had no other choice at this time but to retreat toward the cliff little by little. If there is no room for redemption, I'm afraid their final choice will not be different from those who have gone crazy.
The laughter of the underground city came from ahead. It was obviously very far away, but the sound was extremely clear in my ears. Jiang Cheng looked in the direction where the laughter came from, and another group of people appeared in front. They were not affected by the vines at all and were approaching here.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only do this." Xu Dingjia said suddenly beside him.
Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason and asked, "What do you want to do?"
After saying this, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that the other party was just a phantom and could not hear his words.
This time, Xu Dingjia turned his head, stared at Jiangcheng, and said slowly: "The future path will be determined by yourself! Live well."
Strong uneasiness surged into his heart. Jiang Cheng stared at Xu Dingjia, wondering what kind of action he was about to make. But no matter what it was, Jiang Cheng was almost certain that Xu Dingjia was going to do something stupid!
"Don't do stupid things!" Jiang Cheng heard his own roar and suddenly realized that he was getting further and further away from the scene, as if he was about to escape from it all.
The scene in front of him became increasingly blurry. Jiang Cheng did not see what Xu Dingjia did in the end, but he heard the other party suddenly say something that shocked him, "If you do this, then you in the past can break free from that illusion." Bar."
The illusion was crazily distorted, like a reflection on the water blown by the strong wind, and everything was no longer real. Jiang Cheng felt that he had been hit by some kind of impact and quickly moved away from the fantasy world. At the same time, he also heard himself in the fantasy world letting out a heart-rending cry.
"No!"
The shouts quickly weakened until they disappeared completely, but Jiang Cheng could never forget the grief and anger conveyed in the shouts.
"What is the meaning of that illusion?"
Jiang Cheng didn't have time to think too much. He suddenly felt as if a thunderbolt penetrated him, which was deafening and lifted his spirits. Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and found himself standing in darkness.
What surprised Jiang Cheng was that although it was dark here, he could clearly see everything around him. He saw the tall stone pillars standing in the distance, the road leading into the distance, even the complicated patterns carved on the rocks on the ground, and Xu Dingjia and Chu Xueying standing beside him.
"I...I'm back to reality?" Jiang Cheng couldn't believe it, but he felt the joy of surviving the disaster in his heart.
Only that joy rose in his heart, and in the next moment, Jiang Cheng immediately noticed the strangeness of the situation.
Because, he saw himself in the darkness!
Yes, he was standing with Jiang Cheng and Chu Xueying on the rocky ground.
If that is me, then, what am I now
After confirming that he had escaped the influence of the hallucination, the scene in front of him made Jiang Cheng even more confused. He looked at his palm, which was glowing slightly and seemed a little transparent.
"Could it be that... that was my body, and the current me... is the state of my soul?" Jiang Cheng guessed, and his uneasy feeling became stronger.
Just as he was thinking about how to get out of the predicament, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in the air. Jiang Cheng looked in the direction of the wave, but felt a feeling similar to an hallucination from the core of the wave. A strange and absurd idea suddenly occurred in his consciousness, something was chasing after him from the previous illusion!
Although this idea was absurd, the terrifying aura that hit his face became more and more real, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare and suddenly found that the nightmare had come in reality. Jiang Cheng had to be vigilant and wanted to stay away from the source of the fluctuation. At the same time, he realized that the source of the fluctuation was not far from Xu Dingjia, Chu Xueying and his own body.
The frequency of space fluctuations seemed to have reached its limit, and suddenly it was like an explosion, and the whole space made a shattering sound like a cracking silk. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Cheng saw countless translucent vines swarming out from the explosive core!
The tentacles of the God of Return!
It was actually able to chase it from the fantasy world all the way here!
Jiang Cheng became more and more frightened, and what worried him even more was that the targets of those vines turned out to be the three people standing numbly on the ground!
"No!" Jiang Cheng recalled the tragic scenes he saw in the illusion, and immediately forgot the fear in his heart, and rushed towards Xu Dingjia and others regardless of risk. He wants to stop those tentacles, no matter what method he uses!
Jiang Cheng, who was in his soul state, seemed to have the ability to move instantly. Only then did he have the idea of intercepting the vines. In the next second, he had already appeared between the ancient god's tentacles and the three of them. As if conscious, Vine was startled by Jiang Cheng's sudden appearance, and his movements were slightly stagnant.
The vines hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have made a decision, split into two groups, and swept towards Jiang Cheng in his soul state and the three people on the ground respectively.
"No one can hurt them!" Jiang Cheng shouted, avoiding the entanglement of vines in front of him while chasing another group of vines.
In his desperation, Jiang Cheng forgot about the horror of the vines and actually reached out to grab the vines. The moment he touched the vine, Jiang Cheng felt as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Severe stinging, numbness, and nausea occurred at the same time. Before Jiang Cheng could let out a cry of pain, the group of vines that originally entangled him lost no time in swarming up, trapping him completely.
