196: I'm afraid of whether it's true or not...

"Let's go."

Wang Feng said, then began walking towards her. Just as Jiang Hanxi thought he was going to do something again,

Wang Feng merely brushed past her, squatted down to pick up the cloth she had been lying on, dusted it off, and placed it into his storage space.

Jiang Hanxi stood rooted to the spot, a trace of surprise and an inexplicable emotion rising in her heart for a moment.

But in the next instant, the strange, uncomfortable feeling in her heart vanished without a trace.

Because Wang Feng had already reached out, wrapped an arm around her delicate body, and, not giving her a chance to react, leaped to the mechanism.

He reached out and pressed down on the mechanism that controlled the ground, and the ground above their heads began to flip over.

Wang Feng held the slightly struggling Jiang Hanxi tightly in his left arm.

He pushed off the wall and leaped again, his palm instantly adhering to the ground above his head.

Whoosh!

Their figures were like a spatial transmission, and they instantly returned to the secret chamber above, where it was pitch black all around.

Even the fire lamps on the walls of the passage outside the secret chamber had no light.

Both the passage and the secret chamber appeared incredibly dark and eerie, filling one with fear.

Jiang Hanxi, in Wang Feng's arms, said nothing, which surprised him a little, and he lowered his head to look at her.

A faint, cool fragrance entered Wang Feng's nose, clearing his mind considerably as he looked at the stunned beauty in his arms who was staring back at him.

"What's wrong with you? Are your lips too dry?"

Wang Feng gently pinched her cheek; the sensation was extremely comfortable.

Jiang Hanxi seemed to react at this moment, hastily reaching out and gently pushing him, breaking free from his warm embrace.

"Lewd!"

Jiang Hanxi immediately understood the meaning of Wang Feng's phrase, "Are your lips too dry?" and angrily cursed him in shame.

The shy Jiang Hanxi moved away from Wang Feng, standing on the other side.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Wang Feng looked at the dark figure not far away, feeling as if she was in a daze, and couldn't help but call out twice.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hanxi returned her voice to a calm tone before daring to greet Wang Feng.

Then, she took out a fist-sized luminous pearl and held it in her hand, illuminating the dark underground chamber.

As the two walked out of the passage, except for the small light source they provided, the rest of the surrounding area was incredibly dark.

Wang Feng's palms couldn't help but sweat slightly, and he fearfully held Jiang Hanxi's palm.

"You!......"

"It's pitch black all around, I'm scared......"

Jiang Hanxi's words, intended to scold him, were cut off by Wang Feng's trembling voice.

However, Jiang Hanxi knew that with his character, he couldn't possibly be afraid of such an environment; it was clear he just wanted to take advantage of her.

"If you do that again, I......"

Suddenly, a dark figure flashed past in front, Jiang Hanxi's words paused, and her delicate brows slightly raised.

Wang Feng naturally saw it too; the dark figure flashed by so quickly that he didn't even have a chance to check its information.

"Did you see that?"

Wang Feng couldn't help but grip Jiang Hanxi's hand a little tighter. This time, he wasn't just taking advantage; he was afraid that the person beside him might suddenly be replaced.

"Mm."

Jiang Hanxi frowned, looking at the passages leading in all directions not far away, no longer dwelling on the warmth in her hand.

There were still water stains at their feet, left by the melting ice, and it was because of this that the fire lamps on the walls had extinguished.

"Walk side by side. You look ahead, I'll look behind."

Wang Feng had learned his lesson in this regard; people who hide in the shadows like this love to ambush people from behind.

He had even experienced holding a whole person, only to turn around and find that only a hand remained in his grasp.

Wang Feng changed the direction of his grip on Jiang Hanxi's hand, turned his body one hundred and eighty degrees, and began walking backward.

Jiang Hanxi, holding Wang Feng's hand, slowly began to move her steps.

She wasn't afraid, but she didn't know the cultivation level of that thing, which was a hidden danger.

However, after the two came out this time, the entire underground passage seemed to have changed. It used to have very few twists and turns.

Now, it suddenly resembled a labyrinth, with a branching passage appearing every few steps.

Jiang Hanxi ignored the extra branching paths. She looked at the water stains on the ground and, holding the backward-walking Wang Feng, continued straight.

However, there was a strange point: the water stains, which were originally straight, suddenly turned at a fork in the road.

Now Jiang Hanxi hesitated, her pupils gradually turning ice blue, but after scanning around, it wasn't an illusion; it was real.

"Which way should we go?"

Jiang Hanxi asked Wang Feng for his opinion, planning to let him choose whether to go straight or turn.

"Hm?"

After waiting for a while, Jiang Hanxi found it increasingly odd. She raised her hand and slapped Wang Feng's head in a tentative test.

If it were the real Wang Feng, he would definitely dodge her slap, as he had dodged her attacks many times before.

Whoosh!

Sensing danger, Wang Feng quickly used his movement technique to skillfully squat down and dodge.

He looked at Jiang Hanxi with lingering fear and shouted, "Are you trying to murder your husband!?"

As the familiar feeling returned, Jiang Hanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Why didn't you respond?"

Jiang Hanxi's clear and pleasant voice carried a hint of apology.

However, Wang Feng didn't answer her. He looked at her, then continued to look at the dark passage behind them.

Jiang Hanxi understood his meaning and looked with her ice-blue eyes towards where Wang Feng was looking.

Then, her expression slowly began to turn serious. An unknown humanoid creature was clinging to the ceiling of the dark passage.

Moreover, the aura leaking from its body was not low; it was at least in the Po Yuan Realm. At least, Jiang Hanxi felt that she couldn't kill that thing in her current state.

However......

Don't forget how many treasures she and Wang Feng had in their Divine Sea Space. Even if someone from the Tian Yuan Realm came, they would have to be buried here!

"I'm scared......"

Wang Feng leaned closer to Jiang Hanxi. A faint, cool fragrance wafted over, very comforting.

Looking at the evil creature's status panel, Wang Feng was considering whether to use treasures and team up with Jiang Hanxi to kill it.

Shadow Eater Ghoul

Identity: An evil creature born from the fallen body of a quasi-emperor's evil charm.

Realm: Po Yuan Realm, Fifth Layer

Divine Ability: Shadow Eating

Innate Weapon: None.

Jiang Hanxi noticed Wang Feng's movement, her brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, she continued, "Keep going."

"Let's follow the water stains."

Wang Feng thought about it after hearing her words and decided against it. As long as that thing didn't provoke them, it was fine, and its realm was a bit high.
