Chapter 140 Deep Sea Secret Passage: The Beginning of Ambiguity
"This sound..." Pan Yue repeated, his face pale, and he held Chu Feng's arm tightly, his knuckles turning blue and white.
He swallowed, "Like some kind of giant creature..."
Dr. Ocean's expression wasn't looking good either. He pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected the faint light in the secret passage. "There are indeed some giant creatures in the deep sea that we haven't discovered yet. Judging from the sound, they're probably quite large..." His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously a little scared.
The air in the secret passage began to become thinner, and breathing became increasingly difficult.
Chu Feng felt a tightness in his chest and his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.
Pan Yue's condition was even worse. He turned pale and began to stagger.
"Damn, the air circulation in this secret passage is so poor!" Chu Feng cursed softly, trying to adjust his breathing, and supported Pan Yue, "Hold on, we are almost at the exit!" Although he himself was not sure.
Suddenly, Ross's curse came from the front: "What a damn place! Cough cough... Chase them, chase them! They can't escape!" Ross's voice was a little breathless, and it was obvious that the air in the secret passage also affected him, but the fierceness in his tone did not diminish at all.
Then came the creepy roar of the evil spirit, as if it was not far behind them.
"They are catching up!" Pan Yue exclaimed, with a hint of despair in his voice.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort in his body, and quickened his pace.
Dr. Ocean followed him closely. Although he didn't say anything, the fear in his eyes was clearly visible.
He seemed to have placed all his hopes on Chu Feng. This silent trust made Chu Feng feel the pressure on his shoulders even heavier.
At this moment, Chu Feng felt a slight warmth on the back of his hand, and a strange energy surged into his body.
His heart moved, and an unprecedented feeling surged in his heart, as if he could feel some kind of power hidden in this secret passage... He subconsciously looked at Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "Hold on to me!"
Chu Feng felt a warm current flowing out from the palm of his hand, quickly spreading to Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean.
Their originally pale faces quickly turned rosy and their breathing became smoother.
"What is this?" Pan Yue asked in surprise, feeling the abundant power in his body.
"Now is not the time to explain, let's go!" Chu Feng urged. He knew that this situation could not last long.
Ross's curses were getting closer and closer, mixed with the shrill roars of evil spirits, chasing him like a death warrant.
Ross's men were evil spirits with hideous faces, emitting a disgusting stench. They moved at an incredible speed, moving like ghosts through the narrow secret passages.
"Lord Ross, they are right ahead and can't escape!" An evil spirit with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks smiled flatteringly, his tone full of mockery and cruelty.
Ross snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with greed, "This time we must catch them and take the things back!"
Chu Feng and others ran forward with all their might. The air in the secret passage was still thin, but thanks to Chu Feng's golden finger, they no longer felt the suffocating pressure.
Dr. Ocean was still a little weak and staggering due to the previous lack of oxygen.
Seeing this, Chu Feng held him and said, "Be careful." Dr. Ocean looked up at Chu Feng. In the dim light, Chu Feng saw a different emotion flashing in his eyes. That look was no longer pure trust, but also mixed with a certain dependence, even... Dr. Ocean's hand unconsciously rested on Chu Feng's shoulder. Feeling the warmth coming from Chu Feng, his cheeks flushed slightly.
Chu Feng's heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.
Suddenly, two forks appeared in front of the secret passage. The deep passage was like the fangs of a giant beast, quietly waiting for its prey to step in.
"Damn it, which way are you going?" Chu Feng cursed in a low voice.
Pan Yue squatted down and carefully observed the ground and walls of the two forked roads. "This way..." He pointed to one of the passages and said firmly, "The traces on this passage are more likely to be man-made..." Before he finished speaking...
Pan Yue pointed to the passage on the left and said firmly, "The marks on this passage look more like they were man-made. Ross and his men probably took this route." He pointed to several almost imperceptible scratches on the wall. "These marks are very recent, like they were caused by some sharp metal weapon. Ross's men are equipped with special weapons."
Chu Feng nodded, "Let's go, I trust your judgment." Dr. Ocean leaned weakly on Chu Feng, without saying a word, just holding Chu Feng's arm tightly.
As the three of them stepped into the left passage, a gust of cold wind blew in their faces, making them feel creepy.
"Be careful!" Before Pan Yue finished speaking, several small evil spirits rushed out from the depths of the fork in the road, making sharp roars and waving their sharp claws to pounce on everyone.
Chu Feng reacted quickly, drew the dagger from his waist and rushed forward.
The dagger flashed a cold light and accurately pierced the head of an evil spirit. Green liquid splashed out, and the evil spirit let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.
Pan Yue was not to be outdone. He had a short sword in his hand, and the sword was flashing with a cold light.
He was agile and moved freely among the evil spirits, each of his sword strikes aimed directly at their vital points.
Although these small evil spirits are not numerous, they attack extremely quickly and are fearless of death.
Chu Feng and Pan Yue stood back to back, protecting each other and resisting the fierce attack of the evil spirits.
Dr. Ocean hid behind the two of them, watching everything happening in front of him in horror.
The battle lasted less than a minute, and several small evil spirits were completely eliminated.
Chu Feng put away his dagger and looked around cautiously. "It seems we have chosen the right direction. Ross and the others must be ahead." Pan Yue nodded and wiped the stains off the sword. "I hope so."
They continued down the passage, an unsettling feeling hanging in the air.
The passage became narrower and narrower, barely enough for one person to pass through.
After walking for about ten minutes, a faint light appeared ahead.
"Look, there seems to be an exit ahead!" Dr. Ocean pointed ahead with a hint of excitement in his tone.
When they reached the end of the passage, they were stunned by the scene before them.
A huge stone door stood before them, engraved with strange runes and exuding a mysterious aura.
Chu Feng stretched out his hand and gently touched the rune on the stone door...
