Soon after, Xiao Chen also began to climb, because everyone around him had already begun to climb with all their might.
There were no paths or steps for them to climb up the mountain. If they wanted to reach the top, they could only find footholds between the cliffs and continue to climb.
Behind them was a cliff that was tens of thousands of feet below the mountain!
Although it was a little dangerous, this bit of danger was nothing to the immortals present.
However, if someone really obtained something special, then the danger of that fellow would instantly increase by a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times.
However, to everyone's surprise, when most of them had already climbed more than half the distance and reached the mountainside, the so-called special item still hadn't appeared.
Of course, no one thought that the puppet was deliberately deceiving them. Deceiving them was impossible. With the puppet's personality, it was already good enough that it didn't trick them. How could it possibly use such an important matter to fool them!
Now that more than half the distance had passed, it could only mean that the cruelty of this test was much crueler than they had imagined.
Because there was only half the distance left, the competition would definitely be more intense.
Those who obtained the item wanted to quickly climb to the top, while those who didn't naturally wanted to take advantage of the last distance to kill those who obtained the item. Therefore, it would definitely be a situation of life and death!
"Huh? What's that? "
Suddenly, someone exclaimed from the mountainside. In the next instant, Xiao Chen also reached the mountainside. There was a platform on the mountainside.
This platform appeared very abruptly, as if someone had directly cut the mountainside with a knife and forcibly carved out such a platform.
The appearance of this platform wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that there were three stone tables on this platform, and on each stone table, there was a leaf that emitted a golden light.
Looking at the sudden appearance of the stone table and the golden leaf, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. However, in the next moment, everyone thought of something and instantly looked at the people around them with vigilance!
"Is that a special item?" someone murmured.
Although the voice was soft, it was like a large bell that swept across everyone's hearts. Some people instantly became excited.
In an instant, dozens of people rushed towards the three stone tables, obviously trying to snatch the golden leaves on the stone tables.
Although Xiao Chen saw it, he was a step too late and was standing on the periphery of the crowd. Even though he knew that the golden leaves were special items, he still did not have the time to rush over immediately. However, in just a breath's time, the three golden leaves were snatched by three people, and then they instantly rushed to the top of the mountain.
"Motherf * cker, these guys are too fast. They're simply beasts!" Xiao Chen cursed angrily. He looked at the three guys holding the golden leaves and cursed incessantly!
The puppet had said that there were a total of 10 special items, so even though three of them had been taken, he wasn't particularly anxious. However, he still felt a sense of urgency.
After all, what if the puppet had purposely exaggerated the number of items? They were already halfway through the journey, yet only three items had appeared. They couldn't help but wonder if the ten items that the puppet had mentioned were really that many. If there were only three items, it would simply be a huge scam.
Given the puppet's temperament … It wasn't impossible for it to lie on purpose.
Especially since the rules of the assessment here were the same, so Xiao Chen couldn't help but think a little more in his heart. Then, he made a decision. Regardless of whether the puppet was telling the truth or not, he had to catch up with these three people first, just in case.
And naturally, it wasn't only Xiao Chen who could think of this. After going through the first round of assessment, many people who had been tricked by the puppet to the point that they couldn't even say a word had now developed a strong sense of doubt towards the assessment rules here and the puppet's words!
So now, the three guys hadn't run far when some smart people instantly chased after them.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen followed the crowd and chased after them. It didn't matter whether he could snatch it or not, in short, he couldn't let these three guys escape first!
After the three people snatched the golden leaves, they ran madly all the way to the top of the mountain with all their might.
Only when they reached the top of the mountain would they pass the assessment and be considered safe.
However, very soon, Xiao Chen keenly noticed something strange.
Apart from the few guys who had received the reward at the beginning who had withdrawn, the rest of the people on the square had all participated in the second round of assessment!
However, at present, the guys who were chasing after these three golden leaves were only a fraction of those people.
This was very strange. For such an important matter, it was impossible for others to not chase after them.
However, the reality was that no matter how good it was here, he only saw these people in front of him and no one else continued to chase after them. This detail made Xiao Chen frown after he noticed it.
"Where did the others go?" Only then did Xiao Chen realize that it seemed that after he went up the mountain, he indeed didn't see any more people.
Not to mention Malevolent Blood and the others, even Nan Mo, Ling Ming, and the others had disappeared. The only person he recognized around him was Hong Yin.
"Senior Brother Hong Yin …" Xiao Chen felt inexplicably uneasy, so he simply began to transmit his voice to Senior Brother Hong Yin.
The latter turned around and looked at him suspiciously. Xiao Chen didn't wait for the other party to ask and directly told him about the strange thing that he had sensed.
"This … It seems like it's really as you said. We can't seem to see anyone else!" Hong Yin only realized then, and his expression instantly became solemn.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, please wait a moment. I'll transmit my voice to Senior Brother Nan Mo and the others to ask!" Hong Yin pondered for a moment, then took out the transmission jade slip. In the next moment, he also frowned.
"The transmission jade slip has lost its effect!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately put his guard up.
"There must be something strange on this mountain!" At this moment, Xiao Chen was extremely certain that there was indeed something strange on this mountain.
"We … have to be careful!" Hong Yin glanced at the people in front of him and said in an unusually serious tone.
"Follow them first, but let's not rush to the front!" Xiao Chen looked around. Seeing that they were about to be separated from the main group, he urged Hong Yin and sped up to chase after them. However, he secretly asked Donghuang Zhong if there was anything strange here.
Donghuang Zhong would probably know if there was anything strange here.
