"Danger!" Jiang Chengdong consciously warned.

Xu Dingjia then shouted: "Those lines have appeared again!"

Jiang Cheng looked in the direction where the sense of crisis came from, and he actually saw some strange existences in the darkness, as if the darkness was not pure, but was flowing like an undercurrent on the bottom of the sea. In that undercurrent, something was quietly coming towards where they were.

"The stone pillar is in front. The line is coming from the right. Run!" Xu Dingjia urged: "It's too late to run now!"

The three of them ran towards the stone pillar almost at the same time. Their footsteps were rapid, and the beam of the flashlight swayed messily with the rhythm of running, which made everyone feel more and more uneasy at this moment.

Xu Dingjia, who had the strongest physical strength, rushed to the east of the stone pillar first, curled up on one foot, and said to the two people who came by the wrong way: "Come to his position!"

Jiang Cheng could have arrived right after Xu Dingjia, but because he was worried about Chu Xueying, he kept the same speed as the wrong party for a while. Because he noticed the direction in which the line appeared, he deliberately protected Chu Xueying's right side.

Although Chu Xueying was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't say much at this time to speed up her pace. Seeing that she was two or three meters away from the stone pillar, Chu Xueying suddenly heard a clear sound coming from the depths of the darkness. The sound was very weak, but Chu Xueying could clearly feel its existence, and she didn't think it was an auditory hallucination. Not only that, Chu Xueying quickly sensed a feeling of intimacy from the sound. It seemed that deep in his soul, he had some kind of close connection with the source of the sound.

Chu Xueying didn't know what it was, but she couldn't help but stop because of the sound, as if her whole energy was attracted.

"Be careful!" Jiang Cheng shouted in his ear.

Chu Xueying was frightened and immediately came to her senses, but her mind was a little confused. At that time, she suddenly felt a strong force of liquid coming from behind, and her body flew towards Xu Dingjia uncontrollably. Fortunately, Xu Dingjia had quick eyesight and quick legs. He immediately caught Chu Xueying who was about to fall to the ground and dragged her back to the hiding place with all her strength.

Over there, Chu Xueying was a little confused, but she also realized that Fu Jiangcheng had suddenly pushed her. She originally had no good impressions of Jiang Cheng, but now she is not completely conscious, and the anger in her heart controls her emotions without any scruples. Chu Xueying broke away from Xu Dingjia's grasp on her legs, stood up and faced Jiang Cheng's direction and shouted: "Jiang Cheng, what do I want to do!"

Xu Dingjia dragged Chu Xueying back to the stone pillar. While dragging him for a long time, he said, "Is Jiang Cheng saving me?"

"Save him?" Although Chu Xueying was a little confused, she was much more awake than before. She vaguely knew what had just happened, and murmured: "He was... distracted just now?"

Just as Xu Dingjia was begging for an answer, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted in the direction of Jiang Cheng: "Jiang Cheng, hurry up! The line is already here!"

Only then did Chu Xueying discover that behind the stone pillar, a beam of flashlight light was swaying on and off and approaching rapidly. She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "How could Jiang Cheng run there? Didn't they come from that direction before?"

"Not Jiangcheng! But me!" Xu Dingjia's words surprised Chu Xueying.

"How could you deny him?" Chu Xueying thought of the voice just now and said, "Could it be that voice?"

"What's the sound?" Xu Dingjia said puzzledly, "Am I hallucinating? Could it be, why did I suddenly run wildly in one direction? Even Jiangcheng couldn't hold me back, so I just kept Chasing me. At first, he had to use brute force to push me over!"

"What?" Chu Xueying couldn't explain in detail how she would make such an unreasonable move.

While she was shutting up, Chu Xueying suddenly heard the sound of the flashlight falling to the ground, and couldn't help but turn her head and look in the direction of Jiang Cheng.

There was darkness in her field of vision, and Chu Xueying could vaguely see Jiang Cheng's figure standing there blankly, but she didn't know what happened to the wrong side.

Xu Dingjia has special eyesight and can see changes even in the dark. He heard him say nervously: "No! He didn't have time to catch up and got tangled in the thread again!"

Chu Xueying felt anxious for no reason, and hurriedly asked: "Save him quickly!"

Xu Dingjia didn't have any good ideas. He frowned and listened to the front, saying: "The line ahead is too complicated. Before he gets close to Jiangcheng, he will be involved!"

Chu Xueying felt a trace of guilt in her heart and asked, "What should we do now?"

Xu Dingjia had a clear mind and advised: "Jiang Cheng helped them escape from the illusion before. Maybe he has a way to save himself. Now what they can do is pray that his self-rescue method can work again."

Chu Xueying became increasingly uneasy when she suddenly saw a clear light flowing through the darkness, and then heard Jiang Cheng's low cry.

"You actually woke up so quickly?" Xu Dingjia already knew what was going on, and was suddenly surprised and happy.

As Xu Ding Jia expected, Jiang Cheng quickly regained consciousness. There was no time to think about what happened because he knew he was in danger. There was a layer of clear light that was almost invisible to the naked eye. Although they couldn't see it, Jiang Cheng didn't know whether that thin layer of clear light helped him resist the influence of the thread. But no, as time goes by, that layer of clear light is becoming lighter and lighter. Jiang Cheng knew that his time was limited and he had to leave here immediately.

Without enough time to pick up the flashlight on the ground, Jiang Cheng ran towards the stone pillar, and finally reunited with Xu Dingjia and others before the clear light disappeared completely.

The nervous emotion made Jiang Cheng feel physically and mentally exhausted even after running a short distance. As soon as he hid behind the stone pillar, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything to anyone else and just kept breathing heavily.

Knowing that Jiang Cheng was out of danger, Xu Dingjia finally relaxed a little and joked: "My boy can do it, he actually broke free from the entanglement of the thread again! He thought I was begging to stand in front of them for a long time!"

Jiang Cheng glanced sideways at the wrong side and didn't answer. His heavy breathing gradually became calmer.

Xu Dingjia said seriously, "I don't know, the situation just now really made them nervous. Especially the one next to him, he was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot!"

"Xu Dingjia, what nonsense am I talking about!" Chu Xueying denied it flatly, "What does that person's life and death have to do with him!"

Xu Dingjia snickered secretly. Although his voice was small, Chu Xueying still heard it. The latter was just about to lose his temper when he heard Jiang Cheng say: "He saw something very important in the illusion! Perhaps, he knows Cui Benshan's true purpose of entering the ruins!"

"I remember those very well?" Xu Dingjia had an expression of disbelief on his face.
