Chapter 1103 Layers of Cages
Is it...

Does this woman really know she's here?

Judging from her actions just now, the woman was clearly not with these strange people.

But Wang Dongdong still didn't dare to make any rash moves.

It was the "young lady" who roared out first:

"Faceless, why aren't you making a move—"

Wumian shrank his neck.

But it remained unmoved.

The young lady's eyes suddenly turned cold as she finally understood.

"You actually betrayed the group and even brought people in here!"

In her excitement, the young lady struggled in the woman's hands, but was still unable to move because of the golden thread binding her.

Faceless, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.

"I didn't want to either! But she..."

"How did she threaten you? Don't you think your brother can't help you solve this?"

He shook his head without a face.

Although his face was expressionless, it was clearly dejected.

"I don't know if I can, but she... hijacked my passage. If I resist, it will be a certain death."

The young lady's expression changed.

"How can it be!"

The woman finally spoke softly:
"Are you allowed to hijack our passage, but we're not allowed to hijack your escape route?"

"I do not believe!"

"Then you're welcome to give it a try," the woman said casually.

The young lady's eyes were shimmering and dreamy, as if she were genuinely considering the possibility.

Wumian shook his head repeatedly: "No! Young Miss, this will really kill you!"

"You think you can persuade me?!"

The "young lady" had a cold expression, and the fluorescent light on her body emitted a strong brilliance, shooting out dazzling lasers that snapped the golden threads one by one, even heading towards the woman and the faceless one.

But at the same time, her flesh and blood completely shattered.

It turned into a cloud of blood mist, from which a blood-red consciousness shot out, but it crashed and rammed around and did not fall into the original passage. Instead, it was grabbed by the woman in front of it.

Then he disappeared, whether the woman hid him or he vanished from the world.

Not only Wang Dongdong, who was hiding far away, but even Wumian was completely stunned.

"You really... control our escape route?"

"Do you still have doubts?"

Faceless just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"My sister died in my brother's treacherous schemes, this is terrible—"

The moment the words were spoken, the space trembled.

A roar descended from the sky.

"How dare you... kill my sister!"

boom!
A colossal hand crashed down, shattering the garden scenery like glass and revealing a truly dark and eerie place, just like the darkness outside the corridor that Wang Dongdong had seen.

Just then, she heard a telepathic message:

"Go and save people quickly."

Wang Dongdong was startled and looked up at the woman who was struggling to dodge under the giant hand.

Considering that faceless ability, this appearance is probably just a disguise.

It's just unknown who was so audacious as to dare to break into the enemy camp alone, kill three people with a single move, and even manage to hijack the enemy's passage.

And, incredibly, she actually knew I was there.

Could it be——

A guess flashed through Wang Dongdong's mind.

Did she save me and leave me here?

It doesn't seem impossible.

Before I could think any further—

"I will guide you; act swiftly."

As the voice transmission ended, a golden light suddenly rose from the mysterious realm, like a guiding lighthouse, piercing through the endless darkness.

Without further hesitation, Wang Dongdong leaped out.

As soon as it emerged, its size continued to grow larger, but the darkness was like a wilderness, and apart from the giant hand in the sky, everything about size seemed to lose its meaning.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

Those were people sent by the enemy.

however!
Wang Dongdong gripped his spear tightly and swooped down.

The gun arrived before the man!
The tip of the spear struck a man squarely in the chest.

The blood ignited instantly, turning into a boiling sea of ​​blood.

Another person was hit by a gunshot and staggered back several steps. He was then stabbed in a vital spot by another gunshot that followed closely behind, instantly exploding into a mist of blood.

Two blood-red consciousnesses also floated out at the same time.

This time, Wang Dongdong saw it clearly—the consciousness entered the body of the woman who was dodging and weaving not far away, and then disappeared without a trace.

There was no time to think about it at that moment.

Four more enemies appeared, blocking her path.

Bang bang bang!

A dense barrage of flames rushed toward her.

Those were the other side's strangely shaped weapons.

It has an extremely high rate of fire and an extremely long range, and it seems that it does not require the circulation of spiritual energy. People often lose because of this unexpected attack.

But this time, Wang Dongdong managed to avoid it through some amazing means.

at the same time--

The spear swept across, clearing the way once more!
Several sparks lit up, tearing open a sea of ​​blood-red flames, and a blood-red consciousness rose from flesh and blood.

Wang Dongdong was also somewhat surprised.

She didn't think she had such strength, but now it was as if she was divinely aided. Every move she made was perfectly timed, and enemies would always inexplicably appear in front of her, as if an invisible hand was guiding them in the dark.

The master of this strange place was enraged, but as if restrained by something, the giant hand waved back and forth, but could not truly grasp the woman.

As the battle raged, the woman's skin gradually peeled off.

Wang Dongdong was about to see clearly who she was when the golden light led him ahead—

It was a cave entrance that suddenly opened in the darkness, so dark that it seemed to swallow all light; without guidance, it would be impossible to find.

The woman dodged the attack of several people and avoided being crushed by a large hand, then turned around and shouted:

"Hurry inside, everyone's inside."

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed out a string of jingling keys.

Wang Dongdong didn't dare to delay, grabbed the key and rushed inside, thinking to himself that the voice seemed somewhat familiar.

But she wasn't sure about the answer either.

The cave entrance was extremely deep, pitch black and dark, as if leading to a hellish underground.

But Wang Dongdong had no choice but to continue downwards until he reached the very bottom.

Finally, I saw a circle of prison doors, and inside the doors were familiar robes of various colors.

However, just as she expected, most of them were black, red, and cyan, with very little blue.

His gaze turned slightly cold.

The people trapped in the cages were originally haggard, dejected, and had lost their fighting spirit.

Unexpectedly, someone appeared, and was even wearing Tang Dynasty robes, which surprised and delighted him.

"Wait, I'll let you out right away!"

Insert the key into the lock, open the cell doors one by one, and release everyone.

There were about fifty people in total, all still in shock, looking around blankly.

But soon, some people realized what was happening and came forward to express their gratitude:
"Thank you girl!"

Some people still recognized her—

"This is Wang Dongdong, a scion of the prominent Wang family!"

"No wonder, no wonder, he's the descendant of a master!"

The excitement spread like wildfire.

Many people looked up, full of anticipation:

"Is Captain Huang outside?"

"Great! We're saved!"

"We can finally get out of this awful place!"

While some people greatly admired Huang Xiuwen, it was clear that others, upon hearing her name, did not show joy but rather indifference or even wariness. Wang Dongdong, of course, knew the reason and sneered inwardly.

He quickly stepped forward to clarify:

"I didn't come with Captain Huang."

A low gasp and sigh rose from the crowd, and many people's disappointment was evident.

"So you... are all alone?"

Wang Dongdong admitted, "No, there's another one outside."

However, everyone was even more disappointed.

After all, how could just two people break out of this heavily guarded cage?
As they were talking, the woman's figure gracefully descended from above.

He was still carrying the faceless object in his hand.

Everyone was startled and retreated, their faces showing wariness.

"It's the enemy!"

"What she has in her hand is...that guy who invaded our settlement!"

Wang Dongdong eagerly went to meet him.

Seeing the woman's mottled body covered in wounds, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Girl, are you okay?"

"fine."

The woman simply shook her head.

The already loose skin on his face caused the metal ring to clang.

"I've temporarily held off the enemy, but it won't last long. We must leave quickly."

The woman pointed, and everyone looked up—

A golden net had been unfurled above the well, blocking the figures that were trying to chase after it.

That's when I realized they were one of our own.

This was the other helper Wang Dongdong had mentioned.

"I couldn't find the token, so I'll have to talk about it later," the woman added regretfully.

No one had any objection to this.

There are clearly more enemies outside than here, so it's more important to escape first. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild.

"But... the problem is, how do we get out?"

One of the trial participants from the northern desert said.

The enemy's attack sparked layers of lightning on the golden net, as if it were about to break through at any moment.

Those people all looked furious and their faces were contorted with rage. Under the flash of electricity, they looked even more terrifying.

Unfortunately, everyone was now unarmed and their cultivation was restricted. They had no idea how to fight the enemy or how to escape, and they had no confidence at all.

"We must find another way."

The woman's calm tone seemed to soothe everyone's hearts.

only--

In this prison where they had been besieged for so long, they had tried to find a way out, but the prison walls were all around and the ground was solid. They could see right through it. What kind of trick could they possibly find?

The woman seemed to see through everyone's doubts and slowly explained:

"This space is not real, but constructed by the uncanny. The uncanny originates from obsession, and obsession originates from consciousness."

"That is to say——"

She raised her palm, and pale golden patterns of light appeared on her palm, slowly seeping into the space like a spider web.

"If one understands enough the obsession behind this bizarre realm, and one's consciousness is strong enough, perhaps it is possible to shake the very foundation of this entire space..."

Everyone seemed to understand, but not quite.

Golden light began to spread throughout the deep well, and an inexplicable change was subtly taking place.

The already dark well, illuminated only by the golden net above, has now dimmed again, the light suddenly contracting.

It was as if the golden net above, and the hideous faces between the gaps in the net, were all fading into the distance.

Only darkness was silently expanding, engulfing everything.

Humans are instinctively afraid of the dark.

Just as everyone held their breath, filled with apprehension—

A light suddenly shone.

A double wooden door seemed to appear out of thin air, standing silently in the darkness.

Above, there are two door gods carved from peach wood, one on the left and one on the right, which is actually a custom from the Tang Dynasty.

However, this door god is no longer the supreme god of the past, nor is it the earlier gods Shen Tu and Yu Lei. Instead, it is an object with golden tentacles wrapped around it, with many eyeballs floating around it, and it looks somewhat cute.

The woman was standing right in front of him.

The skin on its body became more mottled and peeled off, and its true appearance was about to be revealed.

The faceless creature beside him stared wide-eyed—or perhaps because it had no face, its eyes appeared extremely large, and its astonishment was undisguised.

“Threshold space…this is threshold space…and you can even…”

"No wonder... I knew it..."

The rest were all murmurs with unclear meaning.

The woman ignored him and simply addressed the crowd:
"Let's go, there's still a long way to go, don't fall behind."

After saying that, she pushed open the door, and light poured in. She was the first to step inside.

Wang Dongdong followed without hesitation.

Although the others hesitated, they eventually mustered their courage and stepped into the door.

As the last person entered, the two doors slowly closed, and the last glimmer of light through the crack was swallowed by darkness.

Then, with a bang.

A burst of golden light erupted in the darkness!

The group of figures above, who had been trying to break through the golden net, suddenly fell and plunged into the deep well.

"...where are the people?"

"They're all gone!"

The group of colorful star scavengers searched around and were filled with astonishment.

A roar erupted as it tumbled down from the deep well.

"hateful!"

So enraged was the space itself trembling, and lotus flowers, artificial mountains, eaves, and other things that did not originally belong here penetrated into it.

Everyone frantically flew out to avoid being injured by these objects that had passed through the threshold space, or accidentally falling into the spatial rift.

The next instant, a giant hand slammed down in anger.

The bottom of the deep well was stirred up into a mess, with eerie energy seeping out, but still nothing could be seen, not even a passage, which only made them more terrified.

"how so!"

"Just who is that woman?"

"Big brother, should we give chase...?"

"Yes, of course!"

The space trembled, filled with rage.

“My sister, and the consciousness of several idiots are still in their hands; we must take them all back.”

Everyone was astonished, never expecting that this time it would be the other side that had kidnapped their people.

"But... how do we find it?"

The voice above gave a cold sneer.

"Ha, these people will definitely still gather together."

"So, we should head straight for their base."

"This time, we'll be as ruthless as we can, to show these natives what we scavengers are capable of."

The crowd immediately became excited, their bloodthirsty eyes flashing, their bodies surging with eerie energy, and their hands already itching to act.

What was initially thought to be a sure thing suddenly turned into a disaster, leaving everyone feeling unhappy and even wanting to go on a killing spree.

However, the man added, "But you can't kill them..."

"understand!"

"Our priority should definitely be getting the young lady back!"

"Completely wrong! What a bunch of idiots!" the man shouted sternly. "The most urgent thing is to replenish the tokens we have."

"The passage is about to open, how can it fail me?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Go find it."

A sheet of Xuan paper floated down from the sky.

One person stepped forward to take it.

On the rice paper, a boat covered with peach blossoms was painted in ink wash.
