One after another, people fell into the waterfall and disappeared without a trace, casting a haze over the hearts of the people behind them.

Estory, who was walking at the front, suddenly let out a muffled groan. His body swayed on the bridge, but he managed to stand firm.

"Pay attention, it's a Soul Shock. Stand firm," Estory shouted at the people behind him.

Hearing Estori's voice, everyone finally understood what was going on, and they all started to be on their guard.

However, the number of people falling into the waterfall did not stop, but the frequency of it decreased slightly.

The strength of the Soul Shock was so strong that only some people could defend against it. Most people, even if they knew it was a Soul Shock, did not have enough strength to defend against it.

After being hit by the Soul Shock, if there was a moment of lapse in consciousness, it was easy to be washed off the bridge, which was less than ten centimeters wide.

The screams continued to be heard, and they were getting closer and closer to Gu Ding and the others.

Suddenly, a cold feeling came from the void and seeped into Gu Ding's soul space. Gu Ding immediately sensed the abnormality. The wall of his soul space shook and the chill disappeared automatically.

Lilliath and the others also felt the Soul Shock, but they got through it safely.

Soon, the wave of Soul Shock was over. However, a hundred and three people died in just one Soul Shock.

Not long after, the second wave of Soul Shock came.

This time, the number of people who died was greatly reduced, thirty-one people died.

At this point, the original 286 people were reduced to 152 people, almost half of them.

However, the area covered by the waterfall was far from the end, and Gu Ding and the others knew very well that the crisis was far from over.

Sure enough, it did not take long for a huge bone mask to suddenly emerge from the waterfall.

Seeing the mask, everyone's face turned a little ugly because the mask was the face of a Vengeful Spirit.

When the crowd passed by, the eyes of the mask suddenly lit up with a bloody red light. Obviously, the appearance of the crowd had awakened it.

The Vengeful Spirit let out a roar, and a big black misty hand that seemed to have no physical state came crashing down toward the crowd.

Estory and the others' faces changed dramatically. They could not even fly on the bridge within the range of the waterfall, and there was nowhere to hide. They could only choose to defend themselves.

At that moment, a beam of sword light suddenly soared into the sky, tearing apart the black fog hand and tearing the vengeful spirit's mask into two.

After the mask was broken, the several-hundred-meter-tall vengeful spirit automatically disintegrated into countless soul fragments and merged into the waterfall.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sword aura, it was actually Melissa from the human camp.

"Continue moving forward, the earlier we break through this area, the safer it will be." Melissa said to Casares who was leading the way, her tone was still as cold as before.

Surprisingly, Casares did not refute and only nodded.

However, after leading the team for a short distance, not only did his pace not quicken, it even slowed down.

"What's going on?" someone behind him asked.

"Ahead … are all vengeful spirits …" The voice of the person who said this was trembling.

Since everyone was lined up in a straight line, when it came to Gu Ding and the others, the front was blocked by many people. The people at the back could not see what was happening in front of them. However, the transmission of the voice was not hindered, so everyone heard the person saying that it was all vengeful spirits.

The faces of Casares and the others turned extremely ugly because they saw that in the waterfall in front of them, there were many White Masks arranged densely in the waterfall. Moreover, the position of their eyes was scarlet, as if they had all awakened.

Casares then remembered that the vengeful spirit that was killed before had let out a roar, it must have been that roar that had awakened the vengeful spirits here.

Moreover, there were at least a hundred vengeful spirits in front of them, which made him hesitate whether to continue moving forward.

"One person leads the team, the people behind follow. At this time, there's no need to hide anymore, everyone attack and kill the vengeful spirits! "Melissa's words were obviously directed at Gu Ding and the others.

Gu Ding's crew had amazing combat effectiveness, if they were to attack, they would definitely be able to reduce a lot of casualties.

Casares and the others had no other choice. There was no way out after entering the second stage, other than moving forward, the only way was to stay where they were. Staying where they were was actually not a choice at all.

He also knew that Melissa was right, given the current situation, the sooner they rushed out of the area covered by the waterfall, the safer they would be.

After thinking about it, Casares finally made his choice. "Those behind, follow closely, I'm going to speed up and rush out of this area covered by vengeful spirits!"

Not long after he said that, he began to speed up, and the people behind him immediately sped up to catch up.

When the vengeful spirits saw this, they also began to attack, but they could not leave the waterfall, so they could only carry out long-range soul attacks or extend their bodies out of their arms.

However, these intruders were not easy to deal with, and they began to fight back.

Melissa waved her longsword, and almost every slash of her sword killed a vengeful spirit. Estori and Gojil were not weak either, and they also used long-range attacks to kill the vengeful spirits.

In addition to them, on the human side, Reid's strength had completely exploded, and he almost did not hold back. Everyone was a little surprised when they saw his strength, because the strength he displayed was almost no weaker than Melissa, and even a little stronger than Estori and the others.

In the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, only Biggie attacked, and Gu Ding still chose to hold back.

On the other hand, Biggie's performance was equally amazing. Almost every time he swung his sword, he would kill a vengeful spirit, and his efficiency was almost comparable to Melissa's.

However, on the human side, it was not that there were no casualties, and there were often attacks that penetrated the defensive net that everyone had set up together and landed on the people hiding inside.

It only took them about five minutes to pass through the area covered with vengeful spirits, but in those five minutes, they lost another twenty-eight companions, leaving only one hundred and twenty-four people.

After escaping from the area covered with vengeful spirits, everyone felt like they had escaped from the jaws of a tiger. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was another cry of surprise from the front.

"That guy in front jumped off the bridge by himself …"

Not long after, someone shouted, "Someone else jumped, there are already a few of them …"

"Jumping off by himself … I think he was hit by an illusion?" Gu Ding turned to look at Lilliath.

"It's very likely." As an 'expert' in illusion, Lilliath understood the effects of illusion very well.
