The secret passage was dark, and a gloomy atmosphere filled the air.
Luo Jinyu lost his torch and his eyes were at a loss. He could only rely on his hands to grope the wall and move forward slowly.
Luo Jinyu's heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence, and every beat seemed to remind him that danger was approaching.
The wall under his palm was damp and smelled of decay, as if countless years had settled here.
He could feel the texture on the walls, traces of history so palpable at this moment.
He took every step carefully, for fear of some unknown danger ahead.
The humidity in the air gradually increases, as if indicating the unknown ahead.
He could only rely on touch to perceive the existence of this world, and every detail became particularly clear.
Luo Jinyu heard the sound of biting behind him, and his heart tightened, and he did not dare to look back.
He understood what that sound was like, that it was a foretelling of death.
He gritted his teeth and involuntarily accelerated his steps.
His heartbeat echoed in the darkness, intertwined with the biting sounds that were getting closer and closer. He didn't dare to stop and could only move forward. Although the unknown ahead was equally scary, it at least gave him a glimmer of hope for the time being. .
He felt the breath behind him getting closer and closer, and every breath became difficult, but his steps remained firm.
He races against the demon in the darkness. Only by going faster can he escape from this endless fear.
In the secret passage, it is like entering another world.
The surrounding stone walls squeezed tightly, making it hard to breathe.
The rocks above the head seem to fall down at any time, bringing disaster. The slippery stone steps under the feet have to be careful every step for fear of slipping.
The air is filled with the smell of moisture and mildew, irritating the nostrils and making people want to hold their breath. Occasionally, the sound of dripping water comes from the depths, which is particularly clear in the silence, making people tremble.
Fear was like an invisible hand, holding Luo Jinyu's heart tightly, making it impossible for him to extricate himself.
The air around him seemed to be frozen and suffocating.
In this secret passage, time seemed to slow down, and every second seemed as long as a century.
In such an environment, Luo Jinyu couldn't help but think of the secrets and curses hidden deep in history and legends.
There may be unknown dangers hidden in every corner, and every echo is like the mockery of death.
In this narrow and terrifying secret passage, every step is full of unknowns and variables, and every breath is like challenging the limit of life.
Luo Jinyu moved forward nervously. He was always alert and prepared to deal with possible dangers.
He clenched his hands, his palms filled with sweat, and his footsteps echoed in the silent air, appearing particularly clear.
Even though he tried his best to pay attention to everything going on around him, the terrifying voice still sounded in his ears from time to time, making his nerves tense.
However, although he was filled with fear and uneasiness, he did not notice that terrifying thing appearing in front of him.
He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but he knew he had to move forward bravely.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down and stay calm and awake.
At this time, Luo Jinyu thought that maybe Yang Yunfei was frightened to death by this thing, which was indeed very scary.
He imagined Yang Yunfei alone in the darkness, facing unknown fears.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in his heart, and felt extremely sympathetic to Yang Yunfei's experience.
Luo Jinyu deeply realized at this moment that there is often only a thin line between life and death, and darkness and fear are the most irresistible existences.
He had been groping in the darkness for who knows how long. Finally, when he saw some light, Luo Jinyu felt happy and involuntarily accelerated his steps.
Although the light was weak, it was like a fire of hope, igniting the hope in his heart.
He walked in the direction of the light and felt that the air around him seemed to become a little fresher.
He saw that the light came from a hole in front. Although the hole was not big, it gave him a glimmer of hope.
He couldn't wait to move forward, hoping to escape from this dark secret passage as soon as possible.
As he got closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, the light became brighter and brighter. He finally reached the entrance of the cave, and the sight in front of him made him take a deep breath involuntarily.
After coming out of the secret passage, Luo Jinyu breathed deeply, as if his body had been deprived of oxygen for a long time.
The world in front of him suddenly became brighter, and the sun shone through the clouds on his body, bringing a touch of warmth.
He looked up at the sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, which formed a sharp contrast with the darkness in the secret passage.
Luo Jinyu looked around and found that he was in a dense forest.
Tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and the green leaves glow lightly in the sun.
Occasionally, there are a few birds jumping among the branches and chirping sweetly.
He walked forward along a path. Both sides of the road were covered with various wild flowers, exuding a faint fragrance.
Luo Jinyu looked at the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but think, how could Yang Yunfei not be afraid? He had already worked hard when he came out, but he still needed to go back the same way. How much perseverance was needed to be able to do it.
He closed his eyes, and Yang Yunfei's figure appeared in his mind.
Facing darkness and fear alone, but never giving up.
He seemed to see Yang Yunfei gritting his teeth and moving forward step by step. The scene shocked him extremely.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart, admiring Yang Yunfei's courage and perseverance.
Luo Jinyu turned around and moved his ears slightly, as if he heard something.
He subconsciously became vigilant, clenched his fists, and his eyes became sharp.
He listened carefully to the movements around him, and there seemed to be a strange smell in the air.
He moved slowly, taking every step carefully for fear of disturbing something.
His heartbeat gradually accelerated, and his nerves were tense to the extreme.
Suddenly, a slight noise reached his ears, and he turned around suddenly, only to see a dense forest, with sunlight shining through the leaves on the ground, forming mottled light and shadow.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner nerves.
He knows that in this unknown world, any sound may cause unnecessary trouble, and he must remain calm and alert at all times.
Luo Jinyu stood in the forest, the sun shining through the leaves on his body, bringing a touch of warmth.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to calm the tension inside.
However, that vigilance could never relax.
He carefully observed the trees and grass around him, his ears moving slightly, listening for small sounds.
There seemed to be a strange smell in the air, making his nerves tense and unable to completely relax.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the leaves swayed gently, making a rustling sound. Luo Jinyu opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes became sharp.
He stared at the leaf closely, fearing that something would jump out from there.
"General?"
Suddenly a voice came out of the grass.
Luo Jinyu was startled and immediately put on a defensive posture, scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
I saw a man in grass-colored clothes standing up from the grass. His face was covered with dirt, but it was difficult to hide the tiredness and haggardness.
Luo Jinyu was stunned. He had never thought that he would meet anyone in this unknown forest. He slowly lowered his guard and asked, "Who are you? How come you are in a place like this?"
The man came closer and looked up at Luo Jinyu. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "General, don't you recognize me? I am Meng Hongyao."
Luo Jinyu took a closer look and didn't expect to see him here.
He frowned slightly and stared at Meng Hongyao, trying to find any trace of familiarity on his face.
"Meng Hongyao, how could it be you?" Luo Jinyu's tone contained a hint of doubt and surprise.
However, the Meng Hongyao in front of him was exhausted and his face was covered with dirt. He had obviously experienced a lot of hardships.
Meng Hongyao's voice was trembling, and he was obviously extremely tired.
He looked up at Luo Jinyu, a firm light flashing in his eyes.
"General, Vice General Wen sent me here, thinking that I could help you. I met Mr. Yang in the city, and he brought me here, so I hid here to meet you."
Luo Jinyu frowned. He did not immediately respond to Meng Hongyao's words, but remained silent for a moment.
He looked at Meng Hongyao's face covered with dirt, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.
He knew very well that Meng Hongyao was a loyal soldier. If Vice General Wen thought that letting him come was the best choice, then Meng Hongyao would definitely be qualified for the job.
Meng Hongyao nodded and showed a grateful smile.
Luo Jinyu reached out and patted his shoulder, feeling Meng Hongyao's body tremble slightly.
"Are you tired or hungry after staying for so long? Let's go get something to eat together." Luo Jinyu asked softly, his eyes full of concern.
Meng Hongyao smiled bitterly and nodded.
The long period of lurking and waiting had made him exhausted and empty.
Luo Jinyu turned around and walked deeper into the forest, followed closely by Meng Hongyao.
The sun shone through the leaves on the two of them, leaving a mottled light and shadow.
While walking, Luo Jinyu touched his belly and seemed to be hungry.
He frowned slightly and secretly lamented the hardships of this journey.
The two of them passed through the dense trees and came to a clearing. There is a big tree here with some rocks under it, which looks like a good place to rest and eat.
Luo Jinyu walked under the tree, patted a flat stone, and motioned for Meng Hongyao to sit down.
He looked around and finally landed on a patch of grass.
He walked over, pushed aside the grass with his hands, and found clusters of wild fruits. These fruits were dark purple in color and exuded an alluring aroma.
Luo Jinyu picked a fruit, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Meng Hongyao after confirming that it was not poisonous.
Meng Hongyao took the fruit with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
The two sat on the floor, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
The sweet taste of wild fruits made the two temporarily forget their fatigue and hunger, and a long-lost smile appeared on their faces.
