Mysterious Shadow
After the shadow passed, Lin Yu and the others' nerves instantly reached a breaking point. A suffocating tension filled the passage, as if the very air had solidified. Lin Yu and the others groped forward even more cautiously, each step as light as a feather, fearing the slightest sound would alert the unknown danger.
"Lin Yu, I'm so scared." Suna's voice trembled with tears, falling from her pale lips. Her body trembled continuously, like a leaf falling in the autumn wind. Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, and tears welled up in her sockets, threatening to burst out at any moment. She clutched the corner of Lin Yu's clothes tightly, as if it was her only lifeline in this endless darkness.
Lin Yu's heart was also filled with fear, but seeing how frightened Suna was, he feigned composure, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, Suna, I'm here." Although he tried to keep his voice steady, the slight tremor still betrayed his inner unease. His gaze was firm and sharp, fixed on the darkness ahead, as if to dispel the endless terror with his eyes. His hand unconsciously tightened around Suna's, trying to give her some strength and courage.
The old man's expression was also solemn. His weathered face was etched with deep wrinkles, each one seeming to tell of the countless hardships and dangers he had endured. At this moment, the wrinkles seemed even deeper, as if the years had inflicted new pressures on him. He gripped the dagger tightly, his knuckles white with the strain. His eyes revealed a resolute determination, as if he was ready to face any unknown danger at any moment.
Suddenly, several balls of blue flames appeared ahead, flickering in the darkness. Like ghostly eyes, the flames shone with an eerie and mysterious light. Their sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.
"What is this?" Su Na screamed. Her voice echoed in the passage, filled with endless fear and confusion. She subconsciously took a step back, her body pressed tightly against Lin Yu.
Lin Yu stopped, his eyes fixed on the flames. His brow furrowed, his heart filled with doubt and vigilance. "I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing." His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was so overwhelmed by the strange sight that he couldn't speak normally.
The blue flames danced in the darkness, flickering, as if sending them some mysterious signal. The air around the flames seemed to be distorted, emitting a cold and evil aura.
Just as they hesitated to move forward, a sinister voice echoed from the passage. It seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying with it endless resentment and curses. "You can't escape..." The voice echoed through the narrow passage, striking their eardrums and piercing their souls.
Suna's face turned pale in an instant, and her lips trembled, "Who... who is this?" Her voice was full of despair and fear, as if she had already foreseen her tragic fate.
Lin Yu's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "No matter who it is, we can't be intimidated!" He shouted, his voice full of courage and determination.
The old man's eyes became more determined, "Hmph, it's not that easy to make us surrender!" There was an indomitable fighting spirit in his voice.
The atmosphere in the passage grew increasingly eerie. The dark blue flames suddenly grew brighter, illuminating everything around them even more clearly. They discovered strange patterns on the walls of the passage. These patterns were twisted and hideous, like cursed symbols.
"What do these patterns mean?" Lin Yu muttered to himself.
Su Na was so scared that she couldn't speak. She just held Lin Yu tightly, her body shaking constantly.
At this moment, the eerie voice sounded again: "This is the curse of death, you will all become sacrifices here!" The voice was full of pride and cruelty.
Lin Yu shouted angrily: "Who the hell are you? Come out if you have the guts!"
However, there was only the echoing voice in response, as if mocking their incompetence and helplessness.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's keep moving forward!" He pulled Suna and walked carefully towards the direction of the fire.
The old man followed closely behind, dagger in his hand ready to deal with any possible danger.
As they approached, the temperature of the flames became lower and lower, and a chill rose from the soles of their feet and quickly spread throughout their bodies.
"What the hell is going on?" Suna's teeth began to chatter.
Lin Yu's heart was also full of doubts, but he knew that retreating at this moment would mean death. They approached the flames step by step, and each step was filled with fear and uncertainty.
Just as they were about to reach the flames, suddenly, the flames suddenly jumped up and formed a wall of fire, blocking their way.
"Ah!" Suna screamed again.
Lin Yu stopped, staring at the wall of fire, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
The old man stepped forward and said, "Let me see if I can rush through."
Lin Yu quickly stopped him, "No, it's too dangerous!"
Just as they were hesitating, a dark shadow slowly walked out of the wall of fire. The face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes flashing red light could be seen.
"You're finally here..." The black shadow's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of resentment and murderous intent.
Lin Yu and the others' backs were already drenched in cold sweat. They had no idea what kind of terror and despair awaited them next...
