Chen Zhou and Tie Dao walked to the middle-aged vendor's side. At this time, the middle-aged vendor removed all the rings from their bodies, and under his control, the rings returned to the two people behind them.

The two men's limbs were bound by the rings, and then the middle-aged vendor shouted, "Climb over here immediately, just like I just did."

The middle-aged vendor was right. As long as they climbed over the wall in waves, they could avoid the vortex of demonic energy.

However, the speed of this vortex of demonic energy should not be underestimated. Although it has decreased, the speed here is still very slow, and only two people can pass through at a time.

Seeing that time was running out, the two did not hesitate and immediately imitated Chen Zhou and Tie Dao's actions. The two of them climbed up the wall together.

As soon as the two climbed up the wall, they immediately started climbing towards Chen Zhou and the others.

"It seems impossible to bring everyone here using this method," Railway said slowly, his expression changing drastically.

Tie Dao was actually quite worried about his trusted men. Some of them couldn't sense demonic energy, so they would need Chen Zhou and the middle-aged merchant's help for almost the entire journey ahead. He wouldn't even be able to help them. Like now, for example. It was very likely that they would have to abandon some of them.

Since there are only nine rings, and each ring can only help two people cross at a time, some people will inevitably remain behind, and the vortex will be very close to them.

This vortex of demonic energy is no joke.

Once someone is transferred in, he will surely be crushed to pieces.

“It seems that someone is indeed staying put, so we have to find another way,” Chen Zhou agreed.

Chen Zhou completely agreed with the railway's assessment; given the current situation, some people would indeed fall behind, which was why Chen Zhou had said that. Chen Zhou also sincerely hoped that everyone could reach the eighth level.

These people have already met the requirements to enter the eighth level; they just can't sense the demonic energy yet, nor can they truly pass through the teleportation tunnel on their own.

They are all level three magicians.

The two men quickly arrived at Chen Zhou and Tie Dao's side using the same method they had just used. Now, including the middle-aged merchant, there were five people in total.

On the other side, there were still more than ten people there, and the black demonic energy vortex was already getting close to them.

The people over there looked increasingly hurried.

"Leader, what do we do?" one of them asked. Just then, the middle-aged merchant immediately manipulated the remaining eight rings, sending them flying into the crowd and quickly handcuffing two of them. The two men didn't hesitate; they immediately imitated the movements of the two men and climbed up the wall.

Then two more people came over, but the vortex of demonic energy once again drew closer to them.

But over there, there are still more than ten people.

What should we do now?

There's nothing the people here can do.

"We have to think of other ways," Chen Zhou murmured.

"But we have no other choice." Tie Dao's face grew increasingly grim, his tone even tinged with sorrow. These were his trusted confidants who had followed him throughout the tenth level, even after he left the Tenth Level Strong Alliance, risking their lives alongside him. Naturally, he didn't want to abandon them like this. At this moment, there truly was no other way; he could only watch as they were swallowed up by the vortex of demonic energy.

"Don't worry, Railway, there's always another way," the middle-aged vendor said.

The middle-aged vendor was thinking of other ways, but he didn't stop using his ring to save the people behind him; he continued to use his ring to save those behind him.

However, this speed is indeed too slow, and we must come up with another way.

At this tense moment, everyone was unable to come up with a solution, and the vortex of demonic energy was already very close.

Why does this demonic vortex seem to have learned its lesson? Instead of slowing down to chase after those who climbed the wall, it accelerated and rushed towards the people standing on the other side who had no way to get over.

The vortex of demonic energy was growing larger and larger, and they really had no way to leave.

"Have you thought of a solution?" the railway worker asked.

Tie Dao noticed that Chen Zhou and the middle-aged vendor were both deep in thought. This gesture did give him a sense of security, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope. However, when he asked them a question and neither of them responded, he immediately felt like he had fallen into despair again.

"The only way now is to get rid of that demonic energy vortex," Chen Zhou said.

Since there was no way to avoid this vortex of demonic energy, Chen Zhou had no choice but to face it head-on.

“You think the same way I do,” the middle-aged vendor said.

The method they used to sense demonic energy during their training camp was actually designed to allow them to detect and evade attacks from it. However, both of them now wanted to confront the vortex of demonic energy head-on. Since they couldn't dodge it, they had no choice but to face it directly.

But a new problem arises. How should we confront this vortex of demonic energy?

Everyone knew that this vortex of demonic energy was clearly not as simple as they had imagined.

If it were to strike just one person, that person would be instantly pulverized by the violent demonic energy within.

"Since we've both thought of the same thing, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Zhou asked. Actually, Chen Zhou could only think of a way to deal with the black demonic energy vortex, but he still couldn't completely eliminate it.
