Xu An and Lin Yu nodded, their faces also becoming somber. They stopped in their tracks, quietly listening to their surroundings. The footsteps grew closer, as if they were right behind them.
Shen Jingqi suddenly turned around, but saw nothing. A chill rose in his heart; could there be other mysterious presences in this corridor?
"Keep moving, don't stop." Shen Jingqi took a deep breath and said. They quickened their pace and headed deeper into the corridor.
The corridor was filled with a pungent smell that made their heads spin. The walls flickered with eerie light, as if countless eyes were staring at them. Shen Jingqi felt his heartbeat quicken, as if it were about to leap from his throat.
"This corridor is too strange, could we have fallen into a bigger trap?" Lin Yu's voice trembled slightly.
"Don't scare yourself, just stay alert." Although Xu An said this, a hint of unease still showed in his eyes.
