Chapter 670: The Ancient Iron Suspension Bridge

on the road.Jo Bao'er, going by her intuition, felt drawn to the big waterfall. Though the surrounding valleys were filled with the roaring sounds of cascading water, drowning out all other noises, sh...Legend has it that at the very moment of sunset, the two worlds can be connected.

Qiao Bao'er looked at a small black shadow ahead.

It was a cat with fur as black as night, its body slender and well-proportioned. Its fur shone with a healthy gloss, and its pair of erect ears, along with its golden eyes that stared straight at her, gave it an air of alertness.

But the one beside her, Junzhi Mu, could see nothing.

Qiao Baoer squatted down, deliberately squeezing a smile, as if coaxing another cat, she beckoned to the black cat and tried to be as gentle as possible, "Come here, come here, I have jerky here."

All the other players watched Qiao Baier's strange movements with surprise.

Lu Qinan and they followed the direction, but they also couldn't see anything. Here, besides the enormous stone statue in front of them, there was a vast expanse of lush green grassland that seemed to stretch endlessly.

And at this very moment, the sun is slowly setting.

The golden afterglow cast a hazy light on each of them, giving everything an almost unreal and dreamlike quality.

"It's cursing at me," Qiao Baoer suddenly felt a little annoyed.

The person beside her, Junzhi, was confused. Just as he was about to ask, Qiao Bao'er lost her patience and stopped pretending to be gentle and coax the cat. She strode directly towards the black cat.

Junzhi's shepherd instinctively reached out to grab her, but his hand suddenly came up empty, leaving him stunned.

The black cat stood still. In front of Qiao Bao'er, there was only a flat prairie. But in that instant Xiao Ran ran, she felt like she had kicked something abrupt like a rock. Her body surged forward and she fell headlong.

"Jo Bao'er, where are you" Jun Zhi Mu had never been so agitated and frantic before.

"Joe Baby!"

Even Lu Qinian and Lao Gui's voices were filled with terror.

And just like that, she vanished into thin air.

Right before their eyes, someone suddenly lunged and vanished.

When Qiao Bao'er got up from the ground, she muttered, "I, I tripped over a stone and fell." She really didn't understand what all the fuss was about.

However, when she stood straight and looked clearly at everything before her, Qiao Bao'er was even more terrified than Jun Zhi Mu and the others, her hair standing on end.

"Joe"

Lu Qinian's anxious cries still echoed in her ears.

Jo Bao'er was utterly shocked. The lush green grassland she had seen before vanished, replaced by a barren wasteland of gravel. There wasn't a single blade of grass to be found.

And that colossal stone statue, too, had vanished, replaced by the entrance to an ancient iron suspension bridge.

To her horror, Jun Zhi Mu and Lu Qi Nan and all of them were standing on this rickety suspension bridge, and beneath their feet was a sheer drop.

The black cat sat upright at her feet, its pair of eerie golden eyes gazing out at the world, as if able to see through all truths.

All the verdant grasslands and colossal statues they had seen before were merely illusions.

And this barren land where not a blade of grass grows, the rickety old iron suspension bridge is the true reality.

"Stop, don't move!"

Joe Baoer's voice nearly shrieked.

"Halt, you lot! All of you stay put and do not move!"

Her voice seemed to come from a distant sky, floating far away and ethereal.

Jun Zhimu and Lu Qinian, along with everyone else, immediately froze, their faces etched with alarm as they looked around frantically. They couldn't see her.

"Jo Bao'er!" Jun Zhimu's low voice was choked with anxiety.

"I am right here with you."

Upon hearing this, Jun Zhi Mu and the others' expressions became even more incredulous.

She was right there beside them, yet they couldn't see her.

"What's going on!"

"Qiao Bao'er, you said just now that you saw what kind of cat... Be specific, the sun is about to set, come back quickly!"

The old ghosts also cried out to the sky in a hurry.

Qiao Bao'er's voice seemed to come from far away, faint and indistinct, "No, the sun has not set. It is now midday, and the sun is still high above your heads. The wind here is strong, blowing up dust that makes it impossible to open your eyes..."

They couldn't understand a word she was saying.

And at this very moment, the sky on Jun Zhi Mu's side had grown dark, with the last rays of sunlight sinking below the horizon.

"Shepherd of the King!"

"Listen to me, what you see, the setting sun, the vast grassland before you, even the colossal statues, they are all illusions, fake, they don't exist!"

Jo Baoer shouted with all her might.

The statue's gaze was fixed on an ancient iron suspension bridge, weathered by time. You now stood upon the wooden planks of this very bridge, the wind whipping around you, threatening to send the entire structure swaying precariously.

Jun Zhimu and Lu Qinian, Lao Gui and everyone else's faces changed drastically.

Illusion.

A swaying, rickety suspension bridge.

"...Don't, don't move around."

Qiao Baoer watched the dilapidated suspension bridge creak and groan in the strong wind. Her heart pounded, and she tried hard to keep calm.

Qiao Bao'er walked toward Jun Zhimu. Jun Zhimu, always quick-witted, seemed to sense her approach as well. He turned his head and looked around...

Qiao Baoer reached out to him, wanting to touch him, but it was like trying to reach through the air—she couldn't.

Qiao Bao'er felt like a ghost to them.

"I can't reach you," she whispered, her voice laced with a multitude of unexpressed feelings.

I reminded you.

Count Black looked into her eyes and saw her anxiety, then spoke slowly. {Why don't you all listen to my advice}

"Is that you" Qiao Ba'er looked down in surprise at the cat.

“As I entered the swamp, the voices I'd been hearing before, they were you talking to me.”

The black cat Count still held his head high, sitting straight. His long tail flicked, and in his golden eyes one could see a trace of arrogance.

They are trapped here, and they will never get out.

Joe Bao'er anxiously questioned, "You must know how to leave this illusion, right"

Of course I know.

Qiao Bao'er immediately lowered her voice upon hearing this, "Please help us."

Jo Bao'er always had a feeling that the black cat in front of her was nothing good to mess with, and it definitely wasn't a kindhearted cat.

Of course, the next second, Count slowly said, {Give me your staff in exchange for me leading them across this bridge.}

.

Qiao Bao'er's mind lagged for a few seconds before she recalled, "It was Jun Zhimu who got one-third of the Golden Staff of Power from the chieftainess of the barbarian women."

The count's golden cat eyes stared straight at her, like an extremely patient predator waiting for its prey to come within reach.

Exchange with a staff.

Qiao Bao'er, since she wasn't quick-witted enough, suddenly realized she had been tricked. "She deliberately lured us here to get the staff!"

They entered this illusion at this very moment, a trap from beginning to end.

Raphael wanted the staff.ss her; at least then she could handle it. This Golden Retriever seemed like someone you couldn't afford to offend.Song Mengmeng stuffed the last little steamed bun into her mouth, still feeling unsa...
