Chapter 136 The mysterious figure approaches

The huge figure loomed in the light and gradually walked towards them. Every step was accompanied by a heavy sense of oppression, as if the entire cave was shaking with the approach of the figure.

Everyone's breathing became rapid. Ruan Jianan protected Lin Yanan behind him, staring at the figure. His eyes were full of vigilance and determination. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. His body leaned forward slightly, taking a defensive posture, like a lion ready to fight to protect his family.

Lin Yanan nervously grabbed the corner of Ruan Jianan's clothes, staring straight ahead without blinking. Her heart was beating like a drum, and her breathing was so rapid that she could hardly breathe. But she tried to control her inner fear, biting her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from making a trembling sound. Although there was still fear in her eyes, there was more determination, and she knew that she could not become a burden to Ruan Jianan.

Qin Hao clenched the weapon in his hand, his body trembling slightly. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground. His eyes revealed tension and uneasiness, but also a hint of determination. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and prepare for the possible danger.

The stranger kept backing away, his face full of fear. His legs were weak and he could barely support his body. His eyes were full of despair and helplessness, and he kept repeating, "It's over, it's over, we're all going to die here."

As the mysterious figure approached, the light became stronger and stronger, and everyone finally saw its outline. It was a huge humanoid creature, at least as tall as two or three people. Its body was shrouded in a layer of hazy light, and its specific face and clothing could not be seen clearly.

Ruan Jianan swallowed and shouted, "Who are you? Don't come any closer!" His voice echoed in the cave, but the mysterious figure showed no sign of stopping.

Lin Yanan whispered: "Jian'an, I... I'm scared."

Ruan Jianan comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Yanan, I'm here."

Qin Hao raised his weapon and shouted, "No matter who you are, if you come over here again, we will not be polite!"

The mysterious figure remained silent, but continued to slowly approach.

When it was only a few steps away from everyone, everyone finally felt a strong breath coming towards them. This breath carried an ancient and mysterious power that made it almost impossible for them to stand.

Ruan Jianan resisted the pressure and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The mysterious figure finally stopped and lowered its head slightly, as if examining everyone.

Lin Yanan couldn't help but raise her head, trying to see its face clearly, but the light was too dazzling for her to look directly at it.

Qin Hao: "Whether you are an enemy or a friend, give us a clear indication!"

The mysterious figure slowly raised a hand and pointed in a direction behind everyone.

Everyone turned their heads in confusion, but found nothing.

Just as they turned around, the mysterious figure suddenly moved.

The mysterious figure slowly lowered his outstretched hand, and the light on it began to flicker. The light was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, like a candle swaying in the wind, making the outline of the mysterious figure blurry. Everyone was attracted by this strange scene and for a moment forgot the dangerous situation they were in.

Everyone looked at each other, confused by the sudden guidance. Ruan Jianan frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between the mysterious figure and the direction it pointed. His eyes were full of doubts and hesitation, and he secretly guessed the intention of the mysterious figure. He unconsciously stroked his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.

Lin Yanan raised her head slightly and looked at Ruan Jianan, her eyes full of questions. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. She tightly grasped Ruan Jianan's sleeve, as if it was her only support in this chaotic situation. There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, but more of it was trust in Ruan Jianan, believing that he could make the right decision.

Qin Hao took a step forward, as if he wanted to get closer to the mysterious figure to find out what was going on. His steps were slightly hesitant, and every step seemed to be a test. He stared at the mysterious figure, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, not daring to relax at all. His breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat was particularly clear in this silent cave.

The strange man stood there, looking nervous, his feet seemed to be nailed. His eyes were wide open, full of fear and anxiety. His hands kept shaking, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. He stammered: "This... What is going on? We can't believe it easily!"

Ruan Jianan turned his head, looked at everyone, and took a deep breath: "I don't know if this is a trap, but it seems that we have no other choice at the moment."

Lin Yanan nodded gently, "I'll listen to you, Jianan."

Qin Hao stopped and looked back at Ruan Jianan, "But we can't follow blindly, what if..."

Ruan Jianan interrupted him, "I understand, but if this is our only clue, we can't give up easily."

The mysterious figure seemed to sense their hesitation, and the light on his body became stronger again, as if urging them to make a decision as soon as possible.

Ruan Jianan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

Everyone walked cautiously in the direction pointed by the mysterious figure. The ground in the cave was rugged and uneven, so they had to take careful steps. The surrounding walls were flashing with strange light, making their figures look distorted and strange in the light.

Lin Yanan was careless and almost fell. Ruan Jianan was quick to catch her. "Be careful, Yanan." Lin Yanan looked at him gratefully, "Okay, I will pay attention."

Qin Hao walked in front, vigilantly observing the movements around him. The strange man followed behind, looking back from time to time, fearing that something would catch up from behind.

As they went deeper, the atmosphere in the cave became more and more strange. There was a pungent smell in the air, which made people feel dizzy. The light on the wall became stronger and stronger, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Everyone's heartbeats accelerated instantly, and they stopped and looked at each other.

Ruan Jianan lowered his voice: "Everyone be careful, it may be dangerous."

Lin Yanan's body trembled slightly, but she still stood firmly beside Ruan Jianan.

Qin Hao clenched the weapon in his hand and said, "Be prepared to fight!"

The strange man swallowed and said, "What...what is this sound?"
