I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances-Chapter 403 - 276: Newcomers’ Trial (2)

The few newcomers who had already climbed several meters high paused at these words, and then their expressions became somewhat hesitant.

At this moment, they glanced down to see several corpses below.

These corpses were the bodies of those Extraordinary individuals from before.

According to what was said, if they fall, it would mean certain death!

Moreover, it would most likely be instant death.

Thinking like this, the newcomers at this moment were all frightened and pale, feeling as if the height they had climbed suddenly seemed much taller.

Looking up again, the cliff above still seemed high from this point.

If they continue to climb, it’s uncertain whether they can reach the top.

But if they give up now, all their hard work getting here would have been for nothing, wouldn’t it?

Thinking this, it again stirred their hearts with indecision.

"If we continue climbing and fall, will we really die?"

A newcomer on the cliff hesitantly asked the others.

He wasn’t quite sure whether the other person was deceiving them.

But judging from his own thoughts, he felt the probability of the other person deceiving them was low.

After all... the corpses were displayed below.

"I don’t know, it’s probably true, but I’ve finally made it here, I won’t give up so easily."

The middle-aged man climbing above heard this, but showed no hesitation and continued climbing upward.

This attitude left the newcomers staring blankly for a moment, then gritting their teeth as they followed.

However, after the middle-aged man climbed a few meters further, his foot suddenly slipped; unable to grip a nearby rock, his body fell directly downward.

In an instant, the middle-aged man fell heavily below, splattering a pool of blood.

Witnessing such a scene, the few people who were originally gritting their teeth and climbing upward suddenly froze, and were subsequently terrified.

Did falling really mean dying here?

If it’s like this, who would dare continue climbing?

Thinking of this, they quickly called out the name of the fallen man below.

No matter how they called, the person lying below remained motionless.

Seeing this, the newcomers were instantly frightened out of their wits.

After a moment of hesitation, one of them gritted his teeth and immediately started climbing downward.

At this height, if they continue climbing upward, a slight mistake could mean dying here.

To be safe, he dared not continue climbing; it was better to head back down, thereby saving his life.

Moreover, he remembered what the people below mentioned: even if the mission fails, there could be another chance to choose an entry.

If there’s such an opportunity, choosing an entry would allow him to become an Extraordinary.

Why take the risk then?

Thinking this, he decisively and swiftly climbed downward.

The other newcomers were initially scared, now tightly clinging to the cliff wall, looking a bit puzzled as they watched him climb down.

"Why are you climbing down? Even if you go down, do you have any rescue experience? Even if you do, you can’t save anyone without medical equipment."

The person who fell might already be dead, and going down now would mean giving up, there was no need.

The newcomer climbing down shook his head, saying, "Of course I’m not going down to save anyone. He fell and died. I don’t want to bet anymore; there’s still a long way to the top, I doubt I can make it. Better to give up."

"If you want to continue climbing, go ahead, but I won’t. My parents are waiting for me at home, I can’t bear to make them sad."

The young man said as he quickly climbed down several meters.

Looking down, he was still a bit scared.

At this height, falling might mean not death but disability, so he needed to be cautious.

The others hearing this changed their expressions.

They hadn’t expected him to give up so decisively.

It seemed he didn’t intend to continue completing the mission.

In that case, did they need to persevere?

The few Extraordinary individuals below were also in a completely giving-up posture.

Thinking this, after a moment of hesitation, one of them also gritted his teeth and began climbing down.

The person didn’t say anything at this moment, but the action clearly indicated what he intended to do.

This person also intended to give up.

The others seeing this hesitated.

At this moment, Zhou Yingting and others above watched the newcomers below trapped in the Illusion Realm, speculating among themselves.

"What do you think, how many of these newcomers can complete the task?"

"I think there’ll be at least one of them."

"I feel that’s uncertain. Look at these guys inside the Illusion Realm now; they seem hesitant and swayed. Once you waver on such a thing, there’s no turning back; we’ve experienced it before, so you know."

A few people stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing down at the struggling newcomers, and began speculating one by one.

Once they got up here, their strength had already recovered; they didn’t need to worry about suddenly falling off the cliff.

Even if they slipped suddenly, they could react quickly to stabilize themselves.

And now, they started speculating about the newcomers experiencing wavering due to the Illusion Realm below.

Some felt that once wavering appeared, it meant giving up, with no further perseverance possible.

Moreover, for these newcomers, it was their first time facing such a situation; their psychological resilience couldn’t compare to theirs.

Extraordinary individuals had some advantage in this regard.

"What about you, do you think any of these newcomers will make it up here?"

Seeing that others answered, Zhou Yingting and Song Qingyun didn’t seem to respond, so the others turned their gaze to Zhou Yingting and Song Qingyun.

Song Qingyun looked down and thought for a moment, "There’ll be at least one. Once they climb to a certain height, even if they lose strength and fall, it counts as passing."

Now, these people needed only a firm belief; even if their hand became limp, they could pass directly.

Previously there were a few people who fell because they ran out of strength halfway, but they passed.

Now, as long as these people do the same, they could pass.

So even though they were newcomers, he believed there would be one or two who could pass.

After Song Qingyun finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yingting side-eyed, wanting to see how Zhou Yingting would respond.

Zhou Yingting glanced down after hearing this, then shook his head, "I fear not a single one will make it up here; they’re all climbing down."

From their perspective, what these people were seeing as illusions were appearing as illusions in Zhou Yingting and others’ eyes, and they could see very clearly.

At this moment, Zhou Yingting could clearly see that these newcomers were already showing signs of retreat.

The others were momentarily stunned upon hearing this and then looked down, only to find that these people were indeed beginning to retreat.

It looked like they really intended to give up.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting looked to the Daoist beside him, "Does it mean if they all reach the ground, they’ve failed?"

The Daoist nodded upon hearing, "As long as they’re still on the cliff, there’s still a chance, but once their feet touch the ground, it’s considered a failure."

"Then you can start learning the Cultivation Technique."

As he spoke, the Daoist’s gaze fell below, expression calm, seemingly not too surprised by the situation.

The others, seeing this, also looked downward, witnessing these people choosing to retreat at this moment, all sighing regretfully.

They felt in their hearts that these people were only a step away from success.
