Chapter 115 Unknown Fear
Chapter 115 Unknown Fear
The strange crawling sound was getting closer and closer, and everyone's nerves were instantly tense. The air seemed to solidify, and the heavy pressure made it almost impossible to breathe.
Ruan Jianan stopped and made a gesture to keep quiet. His eyes widened and he looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound. His brows were furrowed, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and he held the stick tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Lin Yanan tightly grasped Ruan Jianan's arm, her body shaking uncontrollably, her lips trembling slightly, but she dared not make a sound. Her nails almost dug into Ruan Jianan's flesh, her eyes filled with extreme fear, as if the world would collapse in the next second.
Cheng Feng's face turned pale, and he took two steps back unconsciously, with cold sweat on his forehead. His legs became weak, his breathing became rapid and disordered, and his heartbeat roared like thunder in his ears.
Qin Hao endured the pain in his legs, swallowed his saliva, and clenched the wooden stick in his hand. His eyes were firm and resolute, but his slightly trembling arms still betrayed his inner tension.
The stranger held his breath, leaning forward slightly, ready to respond to any possible danger. His muscles were tense, like a fully drawn bowstring.
The crawling sound stopped a few steps away from them, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence. This silence was even more eerie than the previous sound. Everyone could clearly hear their own violent heartbeats, which seemed to be the countdown bell of life.
Ruan Jianan took a small step forward cautiously, trying to see what was ahead. His steps were as light as a cat's, and each step was filled with caution and vigilance.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the darkness and rushed towards Ruan Jianan. The black shadow was extremely fast, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
"Be careful!" Lin Yanan screamed. Her voice cut through the silence, full of fear and worry.
Ruan Jianan quickly dodged sideways and swung the wooden stick in his hand towards the shadow. The stick drew an arc in the air, carrying his fear and anger.
The shadow let out a strange cry, turned around and disappeared into the darkness. The strange cry echoed in the passage for a long time, making people tremble with fear.
Everyone was still in shock, gasping for breath, their chests rising and falling violently, as if they had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
"What on earth is that?" Cheng Feng asked in a trembling voice. His voice was a little tearful, and his eyes were full of confusion and fear.
Ruan Jianan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but we must leave here as soon as possible." Although his voice was firm, it also revealed a hint of uneasiness.
They continued to move forward, but the fear in their hearts grew deeper and deeper. Every step was like walking on the edge of a knife, and every second was filled with unknown dangers.
The passage seemed to have no end, and every step forward was filled with unknown dangers. It seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the darkness, which was creepy.
Lin Yanan's steps became heavier and heavier, and she felt that she could no longer walk. "I... I really can't walk anymore." Lin Yanan cried. Her voice was full of despair and exhaustion, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ruan Jianan turned around and supported her, "Hold on, Yanan, we'll be out soon." His eyes were full of encouragement and care, but the sweat on his forehead showed his inner anxiety.
Lin Yanan bit her lip, nodded, and tried hard to keep up with everyone.
Cheng Feng said anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't dawdle!" His voice was full of impatience and fear.
Qin Hao panted and said, "Don't rush her. It's not easy for everyone."
The strange man remained silent, but just quietly quickened his pace.
Suddenly, a low roar was heard in the passage. The sound echoed in the narrow space, making people's ears buzz.
Everyone's faces turned paler in an instant, and fear almost swallowed them.
