Since we are all pitiful people, we should help each other as much as possible.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

Jiang Cheng walked to Gongsun Zhiruo's side, walking shoulder to shoulder with him. "What did you see down in the rift?" Jiang Cheng asked, tilting his head in a very natural tone.

Gongsun Zhiruo's body trembled. Obviously, recalling these things would make his just-relaxed nerves tense up again. Jiang Cheng didn't want this, but it's best to prepare for some things early.

"I..." Gongsun Zhiruo's face changed slightly as he fell into memories. After a long while, he pursed his lips and said, "I don't remember very clearly, but I vaguely remember seeing one of my students. He was asking me for help, he was just below the cliff, grabbing a protrusion on the cliff with his hand, his whole body hanging there, about to fall."

"I tried my best to save him, but the rope around my waist kept pulling me up. I looked up, and about 4 or 5 meters above my head, there was a ghost pulling the rope." Gongsun Zhiruo's face was terrible, as if he remembered the scene at that time.

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng nodded. He probably understood that Gongsun Zhiruo was trapped in the illusion created by the Hungry Ghost, and everything he saw was fake.

Gongsun Zhiruo was silent for a moment, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Thinking about it now, that student of mine... he died in the last mission. All of this was an illusion created by that Hungry Ghost. If I had really broken free from the rope at that time, or if you, Mr. Jiang, had given up on me, then when I climbed over, I would definitely be dead too."

"Thank you, really... really thank you." Gongsun Zhiruo thanked again.

"It's good that you're okay. I just helped out." Jiang Cheng didn't say much.

Perhaps because he had seen through the Hungry Ghost's last trap, they didn't encounter too many problems along the way. The tranquility and cruelty of the snow mountain were fully reflected along the way.

Because they had lost two teammates in a row, everyone didn't like Shang Mo very much. He walked in the front alone, performing very hard, as if to make up for his mistakes.

The mountaineering bag he was carrying was the biggest, pressing his body even more hunched. From the back, he was actually a bit pitiful.

Huai Yi saw Jiang Cheng staring at Shang Mo's back, approached him, wiped his forehead, and said in a half-complaining, half-dissatisfied tone, "This old guy is in pretty good shape. He hasn't rested much along the way. I'm about to collapse."

"Look at my hands and feet, I don't know what's going on, they're ice cold." Huai Yi took off his gloves, and the fingers inside were red, looking like they were frozen.

"Hey, Huai Yi, your hands and feet are cold, that's mainly because your kidneys aren't good." Fatty followed up and said bluntly, "Your hands are so cold, your kidneys are probably useless. You're still young, you have to know how to restrain yourself."

Huai Yi's face changed in shock, and he retorted, "Damn, don't talk nonsense, I've been taking tonics all along, and it's been much better recently. My girlfriends all say I've improved."

The two of them started arguing, and Jiang Cheng didn't stop them.

Zi Gui, who was walking in front, didn't hear clearly, but after hearing the words "girlfriends," she showed a puzzled expression, and then turned her head to look at Jiang Cheng and the others.

What she couldn't understand was that these three people had just experienced a life-and-death situation, and they were almost dragged into the rift and killed by ghosts. How could they recover so quickly, and even be in the mood to joke around?

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, she just thought that these people had good psychological qualities. She began to be curious about the past of these three people, especially the background story of that Mr. Jiang in the middle.

"Damn it!"

"You son of a bitch!"

...

Suddenly, there was chaos in front, attracting everyone's attention. Han Juanjuan punched Shang Mo, who was leading the way, to the ground, then pounced on him, straddled him, and swung his fists at his face.

Bai Xi was relatively close and reacted the fastest. He immediately stepped forward and dragged Han Juanjuan down. "Calm down. Even if you beat him to death, the dead won't come back to life!"

"What's going on?" Jiang Cheng walked over and asked.

Lu Yu bit her lip, her eyes fixed on a direction, and pointed her finger and said, "You... look there!"

Following the direction Lu Yu was pointing, the faces of Jiang Cheng and the others changed drastically. Not far away, there was a large rock standing.

The rock was quite distinctive. One side was sharp, like a sword piercing the sky, and the other end was broken into a strange arc, which was very recognizable.

But the most important thing was that they had seen this rock before. Chan Li's body was found behind the rock!

Fatty opened his mouth wide, and after a long time, he reacted and said in surprise, "Are we walking in a big circle and coming back again?"

"It's all your fault. You led the way. You just wanted to kill us!" Han Juanjuan, who was being held down by Bai Xi, shouted at Shang Mo, "You and your grandson are the same, you're both harmful people!"

"This Hungry Ghost is here to find you. If we leave you alone, the Hungry Ghost will kill you, and then it won't make things difficult for us, and no one else will die!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng and his party showed an expression of dissatisfaction. Even if they could understand Han Juanjuan's feelings of losing his teacher, it was still a bit too much to say such a thing.

Unexpectedly, just as Han Juanjuan was struggling desperately, trying to break free from Bai Xi and settle accounts with Shang Mo, a petite figure walked up quickly, raised her hand, and slapped Han Juanjuan in the face.

Along with a crisp "slap" sound, the whole world became quiet.

The person who slapped him was Lu Yu.

"What are you saying?" Lu Yu asked sharply, her eyes red, "I'm asking you, what are you saying?"

"Do you know what you're saying?!"

Han Juanjuan was also stunned. He trembled and stretched out his hand, touching his red cheek, as if he hadn't recovered from the slap just now. He raised his head, looked at Lu Yu condescendingly, his lips slightly opened, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

"Teacher Zhou has already left, he will never come back, he is dead, dead, do you understand?" Lu Yu said to Han Juanjuan, her eyes red.

But in Jiang Cheng's opinion, this girl seemed to be talking to herself more.

"We must calm down, unite, and then we will have a chance to survive, and then we will have a chance to stop people from dying. Are you still not chaotic enough, do you still think there are not enough dead people?" Lu Yu looked at him, "I'm asking you, who else do you want to see die, is it me, Bai Xi, or Teacher Zi Gui, or all of us?"

Lu Yu's voice was not very loud, but it was very imposing. Even Jiang Cheng and his party felt the energy hidden under this thin body.

Chan Li's departure has made this girl grow a lot.
