“It’s still too late!” Standing on the edge of the cliff, Huai Yi, panting heavily, gritted his teeth and looked down. It was pitch black below.

He didn't know how, but the light spot that was close to them eventually disappeared silently. Bai Xi, however, seemed to have gone mad. When he turned his head and saw the two of them, he looked like he had seen a ghost. He ran away as fast as his legs could carry him, and he said some inexplicable things.

It was fine for him to run, but of the four directions, he didn't choose the other three. He just had to pick the one with the cliff. The two of them immediately chased after him, but it was still too late.

"Crack."

"Crack."

...

Strange sounds came from behind, like something crawling on the snow. It was moving very fast. Jiang Cheng and the others looked back and saw a huge shadow quickly approaching them.

At the same time, accompanied by the biting cold wind, there was also ice and snow.

The huge shadow was naturally the Hungry Ghost, but now they had a cliff behind them, and there was nowhere to avoid it. Jiang Cheng suddenly understood the Hungry Ghost's plan. It wanted to push them into a desperate situation.

The reason why Bai Xi ran wildly towards the cliff was probably because he was also caught in an illusion. While mistaking the light for his teammates, he fell into the illusion constructed by the Hungry Ghost.

He wasn't stupid, but he was too obsessed with his companions and blamed himself too much. This harmed him.

But now there was no time to think about these things. They had no chance of winning against the Hungry Ghost in terms of speed. Jiang Cheng glanced at the cliff behind him and found a relatively gentle ice slope on the side. "We're going down!"

A storm of wind and snow swirled around the huge Hungry Ghost, and they could only see a blurred figure. But even so, it put a lot of pressure on them.

Huai Yi's mind went blank for a moment. He subconsciously carried out Jiang Cheng's orders.

The two of them quickly ran to the steep slope and slowly descended. During the descent, Jiang Cheng found a depression, hid himself in it, and then pulled Huai Yi in. The two of them huddled together, not daring to make a sound.

They felt a trembling sensation above their heads. The Hungry Ghost had arrived.

And the place where they were hiding ultimately failed to escape the Hungry Ghost's notice.

The Hungry Ghost went crazy, like a piranha that had smelled blood. Its dry arms seemed to possess infinite power. With each attack, the entire cliff trembled.

Until visible cracks appeared on the ice wall where they were hiding.

As the cracks grew larger and larger, they finally collapsed suddenly. Jiang Cheng and Huai Yi each grabbed a support during the fall, temporarily preventing them from falling to the bottom of the valley, but most of their bodies were hanging in the air, and their lower bodies had no support. Obviously, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

The two were very close, but they couldn't borrow strength from each other. Moreover, the air on the snow mountain was thin. After such a long period of strenuous exercise, even if their physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, they were exhausted at the moment.

But misfortune is repetitive. A huge shadow enveloped them. The Hungry Ghost was standing above their heads, a hideous dried corpse.

Huai Yi was determined that if it really didn't work, he would jump down. It would be better to be smashed to death than to be caught by the Hungry Ghost.

The Hungry Ghost's gaze wandered between the two, as if it was choosing. Soon, it fixed its gaze on Jiang Cheng. On this person, it smelled a familiar scent.

A huge palm stretched out, and Jiang Cheng could even see the pale white finger bones exposed at the fingertips.

Just as Jiang Cheng hardened his heart and was about to jump down, a strange feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. It was as if something was being stripped away from his body.

Gu Lie The next second, a clear sound of metal striking against stone suddenly rang out.

The Hungry Ghost's huge palm froze. Immediately afterwards, the entire palm, along with half of its dry arm, fell from above Jiang Cheng and Huai Yi's heads, falling into the abyss below the cliff.

"Holy shit!" Huai Yi's face turned pale when he saw the severed arm, which was almost as tall as him. He subconsciously thought that this was the Hungry Ghost's method of attack, and he almost fell down while dodging.

"Steady." Jiang Cheng's face suddenly flushed with a touch of red. He tried his best to look up, desperately looking up. He knew that Wu, who was hiding in the shadows, had taken action.

That crisp sound was the sound of a knife chopping on bones.

A series of crisp bursts came from above, along with struggles and indescribable roars. After listening for a while, Huai Yi seemed to understand something. He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng's shadow. Although he couldn't see it clearly, the oppressive feeling in the shadow had indeed disappeared.

"Did the guy in your shadow come out?" Huai Yi exclaimed. He had a deep impression of that guy.

But without Jiang Cheng's answer, the fighting above quickly ended. After a moment, a figure as black as ink replaced the Hungry Ghost and stood above their heads, overlooking the two of them.

What was more attractive than the black shadow's pair of bright red eyes was the knife flowing with moonlight. The tip of the knife drooped slightly, carrying a daunting sense of oppression.

Perhaps because he had actively asked Jiang Cheng to get rid of the shadow in the previous instance, Huai Yi felt guilty when he saw the black shadow. Deep red cracks were constantly emerging from the black shadow's body, crawling all over its body like a spider web.

At the same time, the black shadow's gaze towards the two of them became increasingly cold. Huai Yi's heart sank to the bottom.

He had a feeling that the current black shadow was more dangerous than the Hungry Ghost just now.

Moreover, this danger was irresistible. As long as it wanted, then he and Jiang Cheng would both die here today. No one could save them.

Damn it...

Huai Yi instantly understood. I am afraid that Jiang Cheng's door also had problems. Perhaps, the things inside were out of control and were about to bite back.

But just as Huai Yi was about to execute his original plan and jump down, the black shadow squatted down, inserted the knife into the snow, and slowly stretched out its hand towards Jiang Cheng.

Huai Yi's eyes widened suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Cheng stabilized his body with one hand, exerted force on his shoulder, and stretched out his other hand, grabbing Wu's outstretched hand. Without much effort, Wu pulled Jiang Cheng up.

Huai Yi was completely dumbfounded.

After finally reacting, he immediately shouted at the black shadow above, "Hey, you... no, bro, Shadow Bro, give me a hand too. I can't hold on any longer, really, you also..."

Wu didn't even look at him. He turned around and left.

Huai Yi was about to cry. From the black shadow's performance, it was different from the guy in his door. The black shadow had the same intelligence as a human, even more so. It probably knew what he had done behind its back. When he thought of how he had once persuaded Jiang Cheng to abandon the black shadow, he regretted it ten thousand times. Now the other party was obviously holding a grudge.

Perhaps... perhaps not only was it not going to save him, but it would also kill him when it came to its senses and Jiang Cheng couldn't see it.

Huai Yi's face was ashen.

But the next second, a rope was thrown down, landing beside him. Huai Yi's eyes lit up, and he frantically grabbed the rope and began to climb up. After climbing up, he realized that the other end of the rope was tied to the hilt of the knife, and the knife was deeply inserted into the ice, standing straight like a battle flag.
