Darkness shrouded the surroundings, and embers-like flying ash floated in the air, but what they brought was streaks of chill.

They hid in a crevice in a rock and set up a magic barrier to completely block everyone's breath. Only ghosts carrying lanterns flew past.

The dementors did not leave, but kept hovering in the sky like a whirlpool... dozens, hundreds, densely packed.

Kong Yun and his party, whose scalp was numb, did not dare to take a breath at this time. Because not only the breath, but also the smell, these dementors are extremely sensitive.

"Lao Kong, the last wave of investigation teams must have encountered dementors, right?" Liang Lu looked horrified, and he had to say something to divert the fear in his heart.

This narrow gap was crowded with Kong Yun and his subordinates... At this time, everyone was looking at him, and Kong Yun knew that as the backbone, he had to say something at this time.

"The investigation team formed are all elites, and they have very rich experience in traveling on foreign battlefields." Kong Yun said slowly: "Even we can find a hiding place in a hurry..."

"But why is there no news until now?"

Kong Yun pondered: "Maybe it's because of the chaotic magnetic field in [Canyon of Kings] itself."

Lianglu shook his head: "Since they are going into the canyon to investigate, they should have prepared anti-magnetic props beforehand... Lao Kong, your idea is too optimistic."

Kong Yun muttered: "The investigation team has a large number of people, and there are also investigators from the headquarters, so there won't be any survivors."

At this moment, a subordinate suddenly said: "Director, Boss Lianglu, if you go forward through this gap, it seems that it can lead to the Recovery Spring... There should be a branch road near here. I remember it should be a competition three years ago.

It was destroyed and was never opened, so it was abandoned."

Lianglu thought for a while and said: "There are Dementors outside, we can't go out for the time being... Let's go and explore! But where is Miss Investigator?"

Kong Yun smiled bitterly and said: "We have no more options... and we can't care too much anymore. Sooner or later, the spell will be used up, but the dementors will always exist. We can only wait for death."

…

The recovery spring is like some kind of life liquid. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you can soak in it and the person is not dead, you can recover... The recovery time depends on the severity of the injury.

This is originally an extremely precious treasure. It stands to reason that it will not always be placed in the [King's Canyon] - at the worst, mining facilities should be built here to protect it... But in fact, it is not.

Just because the spring water of the Recovery Spring, once it leaves the spiritual spring, the spiritual energy will be quickly lost and turned into a mortal object... and because [King's Canyon] is extremely dangerous, the value of development is greatly reduced.

However, the university alliance privately has a business of picking up external patients and escorting them to the recovery spring for treatment...the fees are naturally not cheap.

However, since the appearance of the "Odd Demon King" in the canyon thirty years ago and a bloody battle, this kind of business has also been stopped by the Supreme Council.

…

The branch road mentioned by Kong Yun's subordinate was quickly found. After the group of people worked together to open up a gap that could barely pass through the blocked passage, they quickly walked onto the passage leading to the Recovery Spring.

Kong Yun seemed a little absent-minded at this time, and Lianglu knew that he was worried about the missing investigator lady who disappeared in the cold fog.

But so what?

Putting aside the fact that Miss Youye has so much wealth, it is impossible for a middle-level civil servant in a major league to support her. Let’s just talk about how many men can control her aura.

Suddenly, some sizzling sounds came into Lianglu's ears.

"what sound?"

"It's the communicator! Boss Lianglu, my communicator seems to have received a signal!"

Kong Yun and Liang Lu looked at each other, and Liang Lu quickly took the communicator and put it to his ear...Kong Yun also put his ear to it at this time.

Amidst the chaotic sizzling sounds, the two of them heard an intermittent weak voice.

——"Save...me...save me...save..."

The two of them stared at each other.

Kong Yun almost asserted: "It's the missing person investigating!"

Liang Lu pondered: "The antimagnetic properties of this communicator are already the best. It seems that the magnetic field of [Kings Canyon] has strengthened a lot in the past year. I don't know what the reason is..."

Kong Yun looked at the team members and said, "Can you find the source direction of the signal?"

"Director, let me try it."

Kong Yun nodded and handed the communicator to his subordinate. He immediately glanced at the team members around him, but subconsciously frowned, "Lianglu, how many people were there when we came in?"

"How many?" Lianglu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Not counting Miss Investigator, and a few people who unfortunately died on the road, there should have been nine people when they came in... Why is there one missing?"

Here, at this moment, there are only eight people!

There are really only eight.

In the passage, it was as if you could hear the heartbeats of the people around you, and an uneasy chill slowly spread behind everyone's backs.

This made the "hissing" sound in the communicator appear so clear.

"Zifeng! It's Zifeng! Zifeng is missing!" A team member's expression changed drastically at this time: "He has been behind me... just now!"

"Don't panic!" Kong Yun said calmly at this time: "There are no side roads along the way... Zifeng can't go in front of us, let's go back the same way and take a look!"

Compared with asking for help in the communicator, the members of this team obviously have higher priority.

At this moment, Kong Yun took a deep breath and suddenly struck out with his palm. Instantly, a beam of light filled the passage and flowed into the distance...Kong Yun immediately chased the light and rushed away, and everyone quickly followed.

soon.

"Look, there's a bag here...it's Zifeng's backpack!"

The light had dissipated at this time, and the surroundings became dark again... But there was only a tactical backpack left on the ground. There were no traces of fighting at the scene, and not even footprints were left. It was as if the person had disappeared out of thin air.

What's even more weird is that this is clearly the place where the group took a brief rest during the march - even if there are no traces of the missing members, there should be traces left by them anyway!

Kong Yun suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. He picked up the tactical backpack on the ground and shot out a beam of light to illuminate the surroundings.

The surrounding light was as bright as day, and any hiding place was invisible... Kong Yun carefully observed every inch of the place, but he was suddenly startled and turned back instinctively!

"Lao Kong?" Liang Lu said with a look of surprise on his face, "What's wrong?"

"It just seemed like something was approaching me..." Kong Yun frowned as if he wasn't sure.

"What is it?" Lianglu pondered: "Air flow?"

"No... there must be something." Kong Yun breathed out slowly, then closed his eyes and released all his inspiration.

In the silence, the positions of everyone's breathing and heartbeats were instantly grasped by him...one, two, eight...nine, ten.

Fifteen, twenty...thirty...

Boom, boom, boom!

That’s a lot of breathing and heartbeats!

Kong Yun suddenly opened his eyes, but there were still seven of his team members beside him... But Kong Yun's expression changed drastically at this moment: "Another... one less."

"What?" Liang Lu's expression changed and he looked around instinctively.

When we returned, there were eight people in total. When we came here, there were only seven people left... Another person disappeared quietly!

"How could this happen..."

"Have we fallen into some illusion?"

"What, what should I do...what should I do!"

Even though they are all elite practitioners in the society and have cultivation skills...but the regional management offices under the College Alliance Organizing Committee are all institutions with high welfare and leisure...if it hadn't been for the portal that appeared this time.

The problem is, they don't even have to go to the front line, they can live a happy life in the office.

It shows that the investigation team has always been there, and then he and his party encountered dementors... Next, in this corridor, two companions who had been getting along with each other for a long time mysteriously disappeared one after another. I wanted to calm down, I wanted to calm down - but fear did not

allow.

"Don't be messy!" Kong Yun suddenly shouted loudly at this time. His voice contained the order of heaven and earth, which instantly broke the fear in everyone's hearts, "Everyone is connected with ropes...get out of here first!"

Saying that, Kong Yun quickly took out a rope from his backpack and handed it to Lianglu first... But the moment the hand holding the rope stretched out, Kong Yun was stunned.

His eyes instantly wandered away.

Because Lianglu, who was obviously beside him, was also missing!

Kong Yun suddenly trembled, and when he turned around, all the remaining team members had disappeared... Strangely, he was the only one left in this place!

Kong Yun took a breath of cold air and frantically shot out streaks of light around him. He wanted to make this ghost place no longer dark, and wanted the light to drive away all uneasiness.

"Where are you! Come out! Come out!"

The numerous heartbeats and breathing sounds he felt seemed to have already been around him, as if they were all watching him...many, many.

"Come out! Don't be sneaky! I'm not afraid of you!"

"come out!!"

"get out!"

He consumed strength crazily until his body could no longer bear the load and had to stop temporarily... Kong Yun gasped for breath, but suddenly his heart moved. It was impossible for so many people to disappear for no reason.

Is there a possibility that it is not his team members who disappeared this time, but...himself?

"But...where is this?"

He looked around in fear, seeing the exact same environment - had he disappeared to another exactly the same place?

…

"Boss Lianglu, Director..."
