Chapter 2304 Desperate situation?

It was not until he stepped onto the ninth step that Ning Gu's clone breathed a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, Lu Ye is indeed a man who knows how to adapt to the times.

In fact, Lu Ye considered more than he thought. If he wanted to kill such a clone, it would naturally be no problem.

But what happens after killing this clone?
Not to mention that Ning Gu's original body will definitely be implicated. He was originally on the bottom step and was under tremendous pressure. Once his clone was damaged and his original body was implicated, the pressure would only be greater.

At that time, Ning Gu would definitely have to leave the stairs in order to protect himself.

Once this happens... the consequences are unpredictable, and perhaps all of everyone's efforts will be in vain. Once trust is lost, it will be difficult to make up for it.

So if Lu Ye wants to leave here, he can only let him go.

Ning Gu's clone quickly reached the top. The extremely lucky Rong Dao also had a companion on the ninth step. Upon seeing Ning Gu's actions, he immediately shouted angrily, "Fellow Daoist Yu, be careful!"

Fellow Daoist Yu, who was pushing the door with great effort, looked back and was immediately shocked!
Because Ning Gu’s clone was already standing in front of him.

"Ning... Fellow Daoist Ning?" Fellow Daoist Yu looked nervous and frightened. He was not quite sure what was going on, mainly because Ning Gu moved too quickly.

As he spoke, he glanced down and saw Ning Gu still standing on the bottom step with one arm broken. Only then did he react and his face immediately turned grim.

Ning Gu's clone stretched out his hand: "Give me the things, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Daoist Fellow Yu's expression changed for a while, but he finally handed the token he had just obtained to Ning Gu's clone. His cultivation level was the sixth level of Rong Dao, and the increase in his Dao soldiers was not great. Even at his full strength, he could only exert 120 Dao powers. How could he contend against Ning Gu's clone?

Ning Gu's clone really had no intention of making things difficult for him. Instead, he walked straight to the door and raised his hand to push it open.

On the steps below, pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

But the door didn't move at all...

Ning Gu's clone had obviously used all his strength, but still couldn't shake the door at all.

But Fellow Daoist Yu, who was obviously weaker than him, had just pushed the door open a crack.

"Come here!" Ning Gu's clone gave another order to Fellow Daoist Yu.

Fellow Daoist Yu had no choice but to continue opening the door. With his strength, the gap in the door slowly widened.

After seeing this scene, Zhong Rongdao immediately understood that no matter how powerful the clone was, it was just a clone after all and could not shake the gate.

Come to think of it, there is a number requirement for escaping from this trap. If the clone is useful, then escaping will not be so difficult.

In fact, before Lu Ye arrived here, some of them had tried to use their clones to see if they could occupy a spot and stand on the stairs.

After all, Ning Gu is not the only one who practices the art of clone.

The result of the attempt is no!

But now I can’t even open the door.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fellow Daoist Yu took dozens of breaths before he finally pushed the door open completely.

He rushed out without hesitation.

And at the moment the door was fully opened, all the Rongdao standing on the steps suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The trap was broken!
Everyone understood and took action.

Lu Ye moved the fastest because he kept trying.

He took one step forward and reached the top staircase, but he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he drew his sword and slashed at Ning Gu's clone.

Ning Gu's clone was obviously prepared for this and immediately mobilized all his Taoist power to protect himself.

"You dare!" Ning Gu himself came rushing over, shouting loudly. His companion, Junior Sister Shuang, shook her hand and drew out a long sword. They followed Ning Gu with sword lights and rushed towards Lu Ye.

The two masters at the peak of the Rong Dao attacked together. In such a narrow space, even Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

"Puff..." Ning Gu suddenly vomited blood, his breath became weak, and his eyes were full of regret and anger.

At the top of the steps, when the bright sword light disappeared, Ning Gu's clone had turned into a ball of blood mist.

Lu Ye picked up the token easily, then slashed it with his backhand, hitting Junior Sister Shuang who was attacking him.

The moment the swords touched, each of them felt the powerful strength of the other. Junior Sister Shuang's body trembled slightly, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Because she clearly felt that something was not right with Lu Ye's power...

But she had no time to think deeply. As her figure flew away, Lu Ye had already used the recoil force to sneak into the gate like a swimming fish, and his figure disappeared!

"Chase him!" Ning Gu passed by Junior Sister Shuang, gritting his teeth and roaring, with a ferocious look on his face.

Big loss.

Not only was the rare treasure he had just obtained stolen, but his clone was also killed. This loss would take at least a hundred years to make up for.

He was filled with overwhelming hatred towards Lu Ye and had only one thought in mind, which was to kill Lu Ye and avenge himself.

Junior Sister Shuang stopped and followed Ning Gu to kill him.

Only after the three figures disappeared did the other Rong Daos heave a long sigh of relief, rush towards the open door, and enter one after another.

They thought that they could escape the trap that had trapped them for many days by passing through this gate. However, when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, everyone was stunned.

The scene I saw was exactly the same as the space I was trapped in before!
No, they are not the same.

There were thirteen stairs in the space where they were trapped before, but there are more here, about twenty in total. There is another difference. There are no rare treasures here, and the door at the top staircase is not closed, but directly open.

What does it mean?
Just jumped out of one trap and fell into another one?
Moreover, there are twenty steps, which is more than the previous thirteen. Wouldn’t it be more difficult to escape?
Besides the astonishment of all Rong Dao, they were more angry at being teased.

No one knows whether this trap is man-made or naturally generated, but since we are trapped here, there is no point in worrying about it.

At this moment, on a certain step, Lu Ye was holding a knife, and on the two steps below, Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang, who were chasing him, stood side by side. The former glared at him, because the revenge for the clone was no small vengeance.

If possible, he would like to kill Lu Ye now.

But he had already noticed something was wrong. Lu Ye’s strength was not as simple as the ninth level of Rong Dao, because his clone died too easily!
Lu Ye was also helpless. He had originally planned to kill Ning Gu's clone, take the token and rare treasure, and then escape from the trap. The sea is wide for fish to leap and the sky is high for birds to fly. It seemed that it was too late for Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang to chase him out.

Anyway, it was Ning Gu who schemed against others first, so couldn't he come and take advantage of the situation later?
But he never expected that this trap had a second level!
When they rushed in through the door, they were all stunned.

Since there is a second level, is there a third level, a fourth level? If this cycle continues indefinitely, we might as well just wait for death.

Fortunately, at this moment both he and Junior Sister Ning Gushuang have realized that the second trap is different from the first!
It's not that there are more steps.

But there is no restriction of the first level trap.

At this moment, Lu Ye was standing on the tenth step, but there were only Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang below, and they were standing on the eighth step.

This means one thing, there is no number requirement for escaping from this trap.

But there are more requirements for strength, because as Lu Ye has walked from the first step to here, the pressure he needs to bear has become greater and greater. The pressure of this position is already not small for him.

There is still half a step to go, and the pressure will definitely be greater!

Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang obviously also noticed this, but they were in a lower position, so the pressure was much less.

Ning Gu snorted coldly and raised his hand to use a secret technique to attack Lu Ye. However, to his surprise, the power of this originally powerful secret technique quickly weakened in the process of attacking Lu Ye, as if the secret technique was also under tremendous pressure.

It was clearly only the distance of two steps, but when the secret technique hit Lu Ye, he was completely unharmed!
Ning Gu was furious and shouted, "Kill!"

He immediately stepped forward together with Junior Sister Shuang and quickly approached Lu Ye.

Lu Ye frowned and retreated step by step, always keeping a distance of two steps from Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang.

If he really has to fight, he is not afraid. With the clone of the talent tree, he is not alone and has no problem fighting against Ning Gu and his group.

But this second trap was indeed a bit strange. He didn't want to expose the existence of his clone before he fully understood the situation.

Two people approached, one retreated, and after a moment.

Lu Ye stopped at the sixteenth step. The pressure at this position was already enormous. Even if Lu Ye used all his strength to mobilize his own Taoist power, his body could not help but tremble.

Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang were not in a much better situation.

The two of them were still two steps shorter than Lu Ye, but Ning Gu's figure was hunched over, as if he was carrying a star on his back. Junior Sister Shuang also had a difficult expression on her face.

They didn't dare to go any further. This position was basically their limit. Maybe they could go up one level, but they would never be able to reach Lu Ye's position.

There was surprise in Junior Sister Shuang's eyes.

She is at the peak of the Rong Dao realm, but she is actually not as good as Lu Ye. This is simply unfair.

We can only speculate that Lu Ye has hidden his strength and he is also at the peak of Rong Dao!

"Did you find out?" Lu Ye suddenly spoke in a very serious tone, "This is a desperate situation!"

He couldn't even walk up the twenty steps, let alone Ning Gu and Junior Sister Shuang. The Taoist soldiers of these two were all offensive types, and their protective power was actually only that of two hundred Tao, so their performance was worse than Lu Ye's.

If the three of them couldn't make it up, there was no hope for the others.

Although there is no requirement for the number of people to break this trap, the strength required has reached a level that Rong Dao cannot reach!
In other words, from the moment everyone stepped into the first trap, they had already walked into a dead end!

Everyone was delighted when the first trap was cracked, but what followed was an increasingly deep despair. If this trap was man-made, then the character of the person who set it must be too bad.

This is a complete mockery of human nature.
