Number two’s voice was a little hoarse. As soon as he finished speaking, number six’s smile deepened. He exchanged a look with number four and then turned his face away.
The quest notification had appeared, which meant that the quest had officially started.
The thick fog around the trial space was gradually dispersing. When the fog was gone, they would probably be directly inside the mission scene.
“Since we have the same mission objective, shouldn’t we work together for the time being?” Although number six was still smiling as he spoke, his Adam’s apple bobbed twice as the thick fog became thinner and his expression turned serious.
The woman beside him with her eyes closed leaned closer to him as a way of expressing her stance.
Song Qing looked down on them and took the lead to nod his head in the silence.
Her actions surprised number six. He looked at song qingxiao with a smile.
After the three of them had come to an agreement, the others also agreed to number six’s request to temporarily cooperate.
At this time, the mist in the trial space was already very thin, and the light in the gray space was slowly weakening. Song Qing’s consciousness seemed to catch a faint wailing and angry roar.
‘Hu … Hu… Hu…’ Heavy and messy panting sounded in their ears. The fog dissipated completely, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed!
The sudden change in the scene made song qingxiao’s heart shrink. She instinctively reached for the dagger on her waist and grabbed it.
The surrounding scene was a little blurry, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the stench of decay.
She remembered the mission’s hint-escape from the terror Battalion! This mission was probably different from the previous ones. Since the mission required her to escape from the start, it was very likely that she was already in the terror Battalion when she entered the mission!
Before song Qing’s eyes could get used to the light, she felt someone walking forward from behind. She instinctively turned to the side, but someone bumped into her from the other side, brushed past her shoulder, and took her a step forward subconsciously.
This was no small matter. Fortunately, the person who bumped into her did not make any unnecessary movements. She subconsciously took two steps forward and looked around at the same time. She seemed to be in a narrow and cramped passage.
The ceiling of the tunnel was not high, and it was uneven. There were many pointed cone-like maroon stalactites hanging from it.
The ground was uneven, as if something extremely hard was standing on it. From the current environment, she should be in a cave in the middle of the mountain.
There was no end to the passage, and there was no sound of wind around. The air was slightly thin, and the thick smell was nauseating. Obviously, the exit was still far away.
There were people all around her, and she was mixed in the crowd, following the aimless movement of the group.
Fortunately, she quickly got used to the light here. In the process of looking around, a gaze seemed to sweep across her body.
She followed the aura and turned her gaze over, immediately finding the short and thin number five among the crowd.
He was much shorter than the people around him because the passage was narrow and there were many people. If he didn’t take the initiative to look at song qingxiao, song qingxiao probably wouldn’t have noticed him for a while.
He had a hunched back, dark skin, and a short figure, which was his unique protection in such an environment. It allowed him to successfully blend into the group without being out of place.
When song qingxiao looked over, he didn’t have the time to look away. When their eyes met, number Five’s eyes flickered, and then he lowered his head. After burrowing into the crowd, he quickly disappeared.
However, once song qingxiao noticed him, she would not let him escape.
The points from this mission were a huge temptation. In order to prevent other trial-takers from targeting him, he naturally had to keep track of their whereabouts.
She split a part of her divine sense to watch number five and at the same time, she turned her head to look at the surroundings again. She noticed a problem. The people here were almost all dressed in rags, looked Haggard, and had numb expressions. They had a kind of lifelessness. The entire team was filled with a kind of deathly silence and cowering, as if shrouded in silent fear.
In this way, the trial-takers were easily discovered. She saw that number six and seven were about two meters away from her.
Number Seven’s eyes were still closed. Under such circumstances, she had not opened her eyes at all, as if she had an eye disease. She allowed number six to pull her along. From this, it was clear that these two trial-takers were indeed old acquaintances.
To be able to establish such a tacit understanding and trust in the trial, it proved that the relationship between the two was not shallow and would not be easy to deal with.
Soon after, song qingxiao also noticed number four and the others. After she noticed the trial-takers, number six also noticed her.
He paused for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered a few words to the woman beside him. Then, he began to squeeze toward song qingxiao.
The people around him were pushed away by him, but they didn’t open their mouths to complain. Instead, they lowered their heads even more, as if they were afraid of being discovered.
Number six quickly pulled number seven over and stood beside song Qing. it seems like we’ve been on the run since we came in.
His voice was directly transmitted to song qingxiao’s mind, but there was only the sound of heavy breathing around them. No one else could hear what number six had said. It was obvious that number six was also good at using mental power.
Song qingxiao nodded slightly. Number six’s eyes flickered.
“We should cooperate.”
The path ahead of this trip was uncertain. Since the mission in the trial space required him to ‘escape from the terror Battalion’, it proved that this journey would not be smooth. It would be best if he could have an ally to help him.
“Did you notice?” Number six pulled number seven and walked forward unhurriedly as he said,” there are not many people in front, and their footsteps are slow. On the contrary, the people behind are constantly pushing forward.
Song qingxiao had also noticed this phenomenon. The people who were pushing forward were unwilling to move forward after they reached the halfway point. However, they were constantly pushed to the front by the people behind them who tried to push forward.
“I’m afraid there are pursuers behind and an ambush ahead!” Number six said in a low voice. Number four and the others also noticed the presence of song Qing and the others.
Number four remained in his old position and did not move, number two watched quietly, only number one hesitated for a moment, but he also squeezed in the direction of the few people.
He pushed away the person beside him. The person swayed a little, as if he was not standing steadily. There were people pushing forward from behind, and with this sway, he actually fell over to the person in front.
As the line moved forward, the person who was pushed away by number one fell to the ground. The people behind him did not seem to notice that someone had fallen and continued to move forward.
The person who came later stepped on the person who had fallen to the ground. The person let out a muffled groan and tried to get up with all his might, but he was quickly stepped on by a second and third person!
The sound of bones being broken came from the ground. Not only were the people on the ground holding back the pain and not speaking, but the other people who were stepping on them were also stupefied, as if they had only stepped on dust and not a living person!
The person who had been pushed down was still moving, but he gritted his teeth and did not speak.
The trial-goers had been through a lot, but this scene was still creepy. Even number one, who was the first to push the person, was shocked. He could not help but say,”
“There’s someone…”
When number one spoke, all the people who had their heads lowered and had numb expressions on their faces raised their heads. Their eyes were filled with suppressed fear as they stared at him and said in unison,”
“Shh!”
‘Shh!’
The long line of people hissing at the same time was terrifying. The sound came from the tunnel and was transmitted back in the tight space, turning into waves of sound.”Shh!”
It was like the sigh of a demon!
