Chapter 457 Going deeper
Hearing Paimon's heroic words, Sora nodded in agreement.
Indeed, on this continent, although there are many people who are brave enough to try and challenge the unknown, being able to move forward without hesitation like them even though they know that the road ahead is full of deadly dangers is a courage that not everyone can possess.
Paimon looked at the road carefully. There was a smell of decay all around, a mixture of oldness and death, as if something was slowly rotting in the depths of the darkness, emitting a disgusting smell.
There was a faint light flickering on both sides of the wall, and the light flickered, as if resisting the intrusion of outsiders, or as if it was struggling to maintain some ancient seal.
After thinking for a while, Paimon said, "If we want to find that strange statue, maybe we just need to follow the route we took when we escaped. As long as we go in the opposite direction and keep going, we should be able to find its trace."
After that, she took a deep breath, the air was mixed with the rough and rotten smell of sand and dust, dry and pungent, making her cough a few times. But her eyes were firm, and she seemed ready to face new challenges.
After thinking through this series of complicated things, Paimon cast his eyes on the people traveling with him and said in a firm tone: "Well! It's decided. What do you think? If this plan is feasible, then let's set off immediately. In addition, remember to always stay highly alert."
After listening to Paimeng's carefully planned action plan, several people present expressed their approval and agreement. They were full of confidence in this plan, so they chose to follow Paimeng without hesitation.
This time, when several people stepped into this mysterious and dangerous area again, they no longer felt flustered and at a loss as they did the first time.
Perhaps it was because of the lessons learned from the last time that they had a clearer understanding of the dangers of the ruins; or perhaps it was because they had made sufficient psychological preparations and were more calm and composed. In short, they seemed much calmer this time.
However, despite this, there is still an indescribable weird atmosphere here. The walls on both sides of the passage are inlaid with crystals emitting a faint green light.
These crystals were of different sizes and shapes, and their light flickered, as if it would go out at any time, or as if it was breathing rhythmically. The dark green light swayed in the darkness, stretching the shadows of the people into strange shapes and projecting them on the wall, as if countless monsters were dancing.
The ground was covered with thick dust, and every step raised a cloud of choking dust. The dust danced in the green light, like countless tiny ghosts floating.
Occasionally, you can hear strange sounds coming from the depths. The sound sounds like a low roar or a painful groan, echoing in the silent passage, making people feel creepy.
The voice seemed to come from deep underground, carrying endless resentment and anger, as if warning the intruder not to go any deeper.
However, compared with the previous times, the number of strange events encountered this time was obviously much less, and the eerie and terrifying feeling seemed to have been slightly alleviated.
The three of them naturally noticed this subtle change, exchanged glances, and then nodded silently to indicate that they understood the situation had improved.
