Such incessant sounds were making one’s scalp tingle with fear.

However, surrounded by utter darkness, nothing was visible. When one’s own consciousness was sent out, it felt as if it was sinking into a mire. What’s more, some presence around seemed to be able to devour their consciousness.

Upon sensing this, Jiang Xiaobai quickly withdrew his consciousness. The loss wasn’t big, but he warned AnRan not to act recklessly.

However, there were many people here, a good number of them unaware of the situation, casually releasing their consciousness on a broad scale, followed by incessant screams of horror.

Being devoured of consciousness felt incredibly painful, like being eaten by flesh-eating maggots, causing unbearable agony in every corner of one’s soul. Moreover, screams of agony and roars of fear kept echoing from around.

Every now and then, they could sense people getting knocked down by something, followed by the horrifying sounds of chewing and gnawing, and the stench of blood and foul smell pervading the air.

AnRan’s face had turned pale with fear, showing extreme terror.

Honestly, it’s only natural for anyone experiencing such an environment for the first time to be scared.

It was utterly terrifying.

Such boundless fear indeed was deadly. In the pitch dark, one would never know when danger might suddenly strike.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sounds of fighting came from the front of the group. The monsters swarming around continued to shriek horribly.

Jiang Xiaobai took in a deep breath, gripping the precious sword in his hand tightly, ready to tackle any crisis at any moment.

Roar!

Suddenly, a gust of stinky wind came rushing, forcing Jiang Xiaobai to halt. He swung the longsword in his hand and fiercely slashed at the figure in front of him.

Splat!

The sound of a sword cutting through flesh echoed. Swinging his longsword upwards, Jiang Xiaobai pierced another peculiar creature.

Although he could hardly see clearly in the darkness, Jiang Xiaobai could sense through the sword that the creature was writhing in pain. However, even when not killed at once, the creature was still ready to launch another attack.

Just like a madman.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized why this place had the name Mad Demon Valley!

“Does the valley bottom consist entirely of crazy demons?” Jiang Xiaobai thought, astonished.

Bang!

From the side, someone used a martial technique. A red light illuminated the surroundings momentarily, and that instant made Jiang Xiaobai’s scalp tingle with fright.

Guided by the light, he could see the surrounding situation clearly.

The valley bottom was not wide, with a breadth of one or two Zhang only. The group from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty was not large, yet the surrounding area was densely filled with pitch-black humanoid figures!

These creatures were all black, even their eyes were black!

Upon a closer look, their body size was almost similar to humans.

If these creatures only lived within such a confined space, the number wouldn’t be disturbing. However, the main issue was, all around the high cliffs, these creatures were everywhere!

Moreover, they seemed to be stacking on top of each other!

Who could tell the exact number?

“Motherf***er, what the hell!” Jiang Xiaobai cursed inwardly.

They were truly doomed. No wonder Xiao Yuwei insisted on rushing forward with full strength. If they got held back here, the swarm of monsters would flood in, leaving them with no chance to escape.

The red light of the martial technique only lasted a moment and soon died down. However, the scene of a moment ago was burnt into everyone’s memory.

“Utter fools, don’t you even do any research about Mad Demon Valley before coming here?”

From the side, Xiao Yuwei muttered in annoyance, “The light attracts these creatures. Haven’t you wondered why we haven’t used any sources of light?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s heart sank.

They were screwed!

Sure enough, the incessant whispers from around became louder, and the roars became more incessant, echoing in everyone’s head.

And the screams of fear never stopped.

Every now and then, objects kept falling from the cliffs, trying to attack people in the middle. Jiang Xiaobai easily tackled one or two of them.

Occasionally a light would appear nearby. Taking advantage of this light, Jiang Xiaobai could clearly see the appearance of these monsters.

Initially, they seemed to be a unique humanoid creature. But once Jiang

Xiaobai saw a bloody figure with a haggard face, he was completely astonished.

These were not creatures, they were humans!

He understood that anyone attacked or killed by these monsters would be transformed into one of them!

“A real-life survival horror game.”

Jiang Xiaobai mumbled to himself, consciously warding off any attacks by these monsters.

Fortunately, this route was not long. In just over twenty minutes, they had broken through it. By then, Jiang Xiaobai could already see a ray of light, and the surrounding width had greatly expanded.

Sss!

Someone made use of the illuminating method. Soon, more and more lights flickered around, and though the light was not high, one could clearly see the surroundings.

The width here was at least several kilometers. No cliffs could be seen around, nor was the situation clear.

But what they could assert was that there were no such strange creatures around.

It seemed to be their restricted area.

“Wasn’t that thrilling just now?” Xiao Yuwei spoke with a smirk, looking at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded lightly, “Well, if the whole of Mad Demon Valley only had this much trouble, it wouldn’t be considered dangerous.”

“Naive.”

From behind, the expert who had earlier scolded Jiang Xiaobai, sneered, “If it were just this, we would be glad.”

“Kid, don’t always show an ignorant face. It really makes me want to strangle you.”

Jiang Xiaobai immediately tensed up, gripping his sword tightly, all set to fight it out.

Damn it, you are just a well-behaved dog trying to act tough.

“Enough. If you want to quarrel, do it outside. Even if you want to fight it to death, it won’t be a problem.”

Xiao Yuwei huffed, “Rest here for a while. Ahead lies a mysterious zone of miasma. Anyone who inhales it will lose their sanity and get utterly lost in this darkness.”

“If you don’t want to die in such a state of confusion, then restore your spiritual power for now and use it later to protect your body.”

“How long is this segment of the journey?” Jiang Xiaobai turned to Xiao Yuwei, “At the very least, you need to tell me what we’re going to face before we reach the Mad Demon Secret Land.”

Xiao Yuwei nodded, “Seeing how you performed decently just now, I’ll tell you.”

“The next area is the miasma area, not long, can be crossed within half a day’s time, and this area is filled with a lot of resources and opportunities. It’s all up to individual development. Once we reach there, we’ll be given a day’s time to carry out our activities and seek opportunities.”

A moment later, Xiao Yuwei presented Jiang Xiaobai a special token, “This token will help you find the direction in the darkness and prevent you from getting lost like a dumb dog.”

“Once we’re there, I’ll tell you the first thing you need to do..”
