407: Final judgment

No matter what happens, this place is truly too eerie.

Looking at the current situation, Chen Tianming fell into deep thought; he also did not know what he should do.

Chen Tianming wanted to leave this place, but the heart-wrenching pain from being attacked by those ghosts just moments ago made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Chen Tianming dared not take the risk, because if he encountered that kind of attack again, he might not be able to withstand it.

Chen Tianming stood in place for a long time, only finally catching his breath after a while.

"Sigh."

Chen Tianming let out a sigh, then turned and walked forward.

Zhou Xun gritted his teeth in unwillingness, his eyes filled with worry.

"Brother Chen, if we go on like this, we will be trapped here until we die," Zhou Xun called out anxiously.

"What did you say?"

Chen Tianming's expression turned grim.

"Brother Chen..."

Zhou Xun realized instantly that given his current attitude, speaking to Chen Tianming in such a way was clearly inappropriate.

Yue Xiaojie stared at the two figures in silence, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

She felt that something was a bit strange, but she could not tell where exactly.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I won't speak recklessly. I just feel that continuing like this is useless," Zhou Xun said.

"You're right, there really is no way to get out of here."

Chen Tianming nodded, agreeing with Zhou Xun's point of view.

Yue Xiaojie suddenly lifted her foot and took a step forward; she seemed to have some idea in mind.

"What are you doing?" Chen Tianming could not help but ask upon seeing Yue Xiaojie's sudden movement.

"I don't want to stay here. I want to get out. If you have no way, then I will act on my own!" Yue Xiaojie said.

"I want to leave too," Zhou Xun added.

"No," Chen Tianming refused flatly.

"Why? Don't you want to leave? Or is it that you are afraid of death, and that's why you want to run away?" Yue Xiaojie looked at Chen Tianming and Zhou Xun mockingly.

"Why would we fear death?" Zhou Xun said with a cold laugh.

"Hmph, then you just wait. Staying here means death, and I certainly don't want that," Yue Xiaojie snorted coldly.

Everyone present feared death, but since they could not leave, what was the use of being afraid?

Unable to escape, they would eventually be trapped here tightly, with absolutely no way to get out.

Yue Xiaojie was anxious because they all had injured people here, just like Wu Wenlong, although Wu Wenlong's condition was more serious.

"I'm not even anxious, so why are you so anxious, Yue Xiaojie? Is it just because your family's venerated protector is injured?" Wu Wenlong sneered sarcastically, feeling quite angry inside at Yue Xiaojie's duplicity.

"Wu Wenlong, are you not afraid of death? Or have you already decided to leave a grave for yourself here?" Yue Xiaojie said nonchalantly.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense," Wu Wenlong said angrily.

Although Wu Wenlong hated Yue Xiaojie, he dared not kill her.

Not to mention that she had a venerated protector by her side, her status as a young lady from a prominent family was not something he could touch.

"Hehehe, I am not talking nonsense. Do you want to try it?" Yue Xiaojie looked at Wu Wenlong mockingly.

"You..." Wu Wenlong was choked by Yue Xiaojie's words.

Seeing Wu Wenlong left speechless by Yue Xiaojie, Chen Tianming could not help but frown secretly.

He did not hold people like Wu Wenlong in high regard.

Of course, Chen Tianming would not easily take action; for people like Wu Wenlong, no matter how you discipline them, it is useless, you can only scare them away.

If they ran away, they would certainly seek revenge later.

But if Wu Wenlong dared to do such a thing, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

Chen Tianming said, "Let's continue moving forward to see if there is anything interesting ahead; perhaps we can find a way to leave this place."

Chen Tianming did not want to argue about these things with Wu Wenlong anymore.

"I want to go too," Zhou Xun called out excitedly.

The attack just now was too terrifying; if they did not go and take a look, they might never have another chance.

Hearing Zhou Xun say this, Wu Wenlong's expression became awkward.

"Hmph, you all just stay here. In any case, I will definitely find a way out," Wu Wenlong shouted angrily.

Immediately, Wu Wenlong took Yue Xiaojie and left the place.

Yue Xiaojie said unconvinced, "What a bunch of fools!"

Yue Xiaojie could not understand the actions of these people; in her eyes, everything now was just a waste of effort.

Watching Wu Wenlong and Yue Xiaojie disappear from their line of sight, Chen Tianming shook his head and walked forward.

"Sigh, I wonder if I will still be alive to come back after leaving this time?" Chen Tianming worried secretly.

"Brother Chen, I really don't know what to do. We are now..." Wu Wenlong said with a sigh, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Wu Wenlong, actually I don't know what to do either," Zhou Xun said with a bitter face.

They were trapped here, and with no way to leave, this was a very terrible situation.

"Brother Chen, why don't we discuss it now and see how to get out," Zhou Xun suggested.

The only method they could think of now was to first inquire from Wu Wenlong about what the situation was like outside.

If possible, then think of a way to leave.

"Alright, let's go ahead, sit down, and have a good chat," Chen Tianming nodded.

He was not a fool, so he naturally could see the hostility Wu Wenlong had toward them.

With the two of them together, surely nothing good would happen.

The ghostly sounds became increasingly distinct, feeling closer and closer, and the air here became more and more oppressive.

Seeing the increasingly dense black mist around, Chen Tianming could not help but say nervously, "The air here is so eerie, shouldn't we leave quickly?"

"Brother Chen, have you discovered something!" Zhou Xun stepped forward to ask with concern, his eyes holding a scrutiny that was hard to detect.

He knew that in the current situation, Chen Tianming had already become slightly detached from them.

What he needed to do now was either get the items here and leave as soon as possible, or stabilize Chen Tianming.

"I'm not sure either, but it seems like there is a force attracting me. I don't know what's going on, but I feel so uncomfortable right now," Wu Wenlong said with a bitter face.

His heart was also struggling.

He always felt that there was a feeling of wanting to kill in his heart.

Chen Tianming stared at him in silence, his gaze becoming somewhat intriguing.

"Brother Chen, can you tell what is going on with Wu Wenlong?"

"Not clear for the moment, but it should be related to the situation here!" Chen Tianming shook his head and said.

"If I guess correctly, this should have something to do with the demonic energy on him. He is currently having his mind controlled by the demonic energy; if we hesitate any longer, I estimate that something untoward will happen."

Zhou Xun's expression changed.
