People’s greatest fear comes from the unknown.

The disappearance of Brother Xiong made Ming Luo afraid to climb up. She turned her head to look at Ye Zhihan, her voice tearful, as if afraid of disturbing something, and whispered: "Ye Zhihan, what should I do... Brother Xiong is gone..."

However, when Mingluo turned around completely, she found that Ye Zhihan, who had been protecting her, had disappeared.

Ye Zhihan is her only support in this other world. To Mingluo, he is not only a friend, but also a trustworthy spiritual comfort. His disappearance makes Mingluo feel like she has fallen into the abyss.

Mingluo felt her heart thud to the ground, her entire chest aching. She was like a tiny fish that had strayed into the deep sea, surrounded by ferocious beasts that ate fish, yet she swam innocently with her lantern, as if telling the beasts, "Come and eat me!"

Ming Luo looked up at the thick darkness around him, and despair quickly surged through his body.

Her whole body tensed, sweat dripping onto the floating steps. There was only one path before her, and it was too late to retreat now. She had to climb up. With this in mind, Mingluo once again lifted her feet in coordination with the vine rope.

When people are in extreme fear, their behavior is often driven by the instinct to survive.

Mingluo didn't know how long she had been climbing. Her hands and feet were sore, her head was buzzing, and her spirit was almost collapsed. She had been tense for a long time facing the darkness and was almost at her limit.

Looking up, there were still endless stairs. Ming Luo was in a trance, his body sank, and he fainted on the stairs, rolling down.

Fortunately, she was secured by a vine safety rope, so she did not fall from a height of ten thousand meters, but was hanging under the stairs.

In her drowsiness, Mingluo seemed to hear sharp bird calls around her. She tried her best to open her heavy eyelids, only to see several pure white strange birds circling in the pitch-black darkness.

The strange bird seemed to be extremely interested in Mingluo and kept flying around her.

Ming Luo was startled. She was carrying the sunlight grass on her back, which looked like a flashlight, and her body was entangled by several vines and hung in the air. Now she should be food that is about to be eaten by the monster bird, right?

She moved her body slightly tentatively, and a strange white bird swooped down. Just as its sharp claws were about to grab Mingluo, it suddenly retreated and let out a sharp bird cry.

The moment the big white bird approached Mingluo, Mingluo saw its true face clearly——

This is a bird with a rather terrifying face. It has huge white wings, but its body is shrunk very small. Its inverted triangle face seems to be attached to its wrinkled body. Its scarlet beak is particularly terrifying, but its eyes are cloudy, and there seems to be a group of rushing black mist in its pupils.

If Ming Luo was bitten by this, he would probably be half dead, if not dead.

Before the strange bird attacked her, Ming Luo quickly climbed back up the stairs along the vines. Even though her strength had been exhausted to the extreme, she had to escape from this hellish place.

The strange birds have been following Mingluo. They always want to get closer, but every time they are very close to Mingluo, they would retract their sharp claws and even make sharp cries occasionally, as if they were hit hard.

Looking at the cloudy eyes of the strange birds, Mingluo came up with an idea. She used vines to stretch the sunlight grass far away, and the strange birds came over like moths to a flame.

Living in darkness yet being phototactic is totally unscientific. However, seeking a scientific explanation in the fantastical Suma Continent is nothing but a pipe dream.

Mingluo took advantage of the strange birds' distraction and immediately quickened his pace to climb up. Strangely, there were stairs right in front of Mingluo, but it was like he had hit a glass wall and couldn't get past them.

I can see the stairs, but I can't get through them. What's going on?

Just when Mingluo was having a headache, all the stairs around her suddenly disappeared, and instead an ice-blue tunnel appeared. Before Mingluo could react, she fell into it like a slide.

"Ah——" Ming Luo screamed.

On the ice slide, she slid down faster and faster. The tunnel was so slippery that she had no way to grab a fulcrum. Even the vines on her body were useless.

I really don't understand. After all the hard work of climbing up, I ended up falling down an ice slide. What's the point of climbing so high? Is this architect crazy?

However, although he could not find a fulcrum, he could still increase the friction. Ming Luo used his spiritual power to stimulate the growth of numerous vines and hard branches around him. Densely packed plants grew rapidly in the rapidly descending tunnel.

As the number of plant vines and branches gradually increased, Mingluo's descent speed finally slowed down.

Before long, the tunnel that looked like an ice slide was filled with plant vines and branches summoned by Mingluo, and Mingluo finally stopped the roller coaster-like ice slide experience.

She breathed a sigh of relief, figuring she had been sliding down rapidly for some time, and then she climbed down through the vines.

After climbing for about half an hour, Mingluo reached the edge of the tunnel. She carefully stretched her head out and threw down a piece of sunlight grass for lighting.

The light sunlight grass was seen floating in the air for a long time, and was even spun by the wind. After the sunlight grass illuminated the ground, Mingluo was extremely grateful that she had braked in time in the ice tunnel. Otherwise, according to her extremely fast speed when she slid down, she would definitely fly out without any hindrance, and there was a huge sharp ice cone below. Even if she didn't get stabbed to death, she would be killed by the fall!

Mingluo looked at the large number of sharp icicles and the vast white snow standing below, and touched the less than half bag of plant branches, leaves and seeds left in the cloth bag. She couldn't help but reflect that she had just scattered too many plants in a hurry. These were treasures that she had painstakingly collected for many days. Her life depended on them. Looking back, it was quite a waste.

It was impossible to climb up the ice slide. Ming Luo reluctantly threw out a dozen seeds and used her spiritual power to produce thick vines that grew towards the ground. After she made sure they were firm, she wrapped a vine around her body and began to climb down.

Looking up, it turned out that the exit of her ice tunnel was located in the middle of a cliff. The entire wall was dotted with these ice tunnel exits, and all the exits faced the ice cones on the ground that were flashing cold light.

When Mingluo was halfway up, a strong wind blew violently, and her vines were blown all over the place. She held on to the vines desperately, fearing that she would be blown down by the strong wind.

However, this strong wind seemed to be rooted here. Mingluo waited for a long time but the wind did not stop, but she did not dare to let go of her hand, because once she let go, she would be blown away by the strong wind like a strong typhoon.

The strong wind carried snowflakes and shards of ice, which hit her body and face with great pain. Mingluo secretly regretted that she was really scared by this strange place. If she didn't use the Shadow Pool now, when would she use it?

Thinking of this, she immediately turned into a pool of shadow and attached herself to the vines. However, strangely, there seemed to be something wrong with her pool of shadow. When did it become so spacious and bright?
