【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 125 Swallowed by Despair

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and fear was spreading wildly in everyone's hearts. The sound was like countless snakes crawling on the ground, and like countless insects gnawing at their nerves.

Ruan Jianan tightly grasped the wooden stick in his hand, his palms full of sweat. His fingers turned white from excessive force, and the rough texture of the stick rubbed his palms, but he didn't feel any pain. His arms trembled slightly, his muscles were tense, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time. There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if telling the people around him that he would not give in easily.

Lin Yanan curled up into a ball, shivering, even breathing became cautious. Her body kept shaking, and every tremor was accompanied by a faint sob. Her hair was scattered on her face, covering her fearful eyes. Her hands tightly hugged her knees, as if this could bring her a sense of security.

Cheng Feng's face was pale, and his eyes were full of despair. His lips kept trembling, and he wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound. His eyes stared blankly ahead, as if he had seen his tragic end. He leaned back against the wall, trying to find some support, but found that the wall was so cold and ruthless.

Qin Hao bit his lip, trying to keep himself calm and thinking about how to deal with it. His brain was working fast, recalling all the knowledge and skills he had learned, trying to find a glimmer of hope. His eyes were firm and focused. Although his heart was full of fear, he knew that he could not panic at this moment. His breathing was steady and deep, trying to stabilize his emotions by controlling his breathing.

Veins popped up on the stranger's forehead as he paid close attention to the surroundings. His ears stood straight up, not missing any slight sound. His body leaned forward slightly, keeping a posture ready to attack at any time. His eyes flashed with vigilance, like a beast about to pounce on its prey.

At this moment, a huge claw suddenly stretched out from the darkness. The claw was as hard as steel, flashing with a cold luster. The nails on the claw were as sharp as knives, and a cold light flashed in the darkness.

Everyone gasped in shock at the sudden claw.

Ruan Jianan instinctively raised the stick and swung it hard at the claw. "Get out of here!" he shouted angrily.

Lin Yanan screamed, and her voice sounded particularly shrill in the darkness.

Cheng Feng collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Qin Hao quickly dodged sideways while observing the movements of the claws.

The strange man did not flinch and rushed forward to face the claw.

The claws waved in the air, creating a strong wind.

Ruan Jianan's wooden stick hit the claw, making a dull sound, but it didn't seem to cause any damage to it.

Lin Yanan's screams echoed in the passage, making people terrified.

Qin Hao discovered that this claw seemed to be just a test, and its owner was still hiding in the darkness.

The strange man struggled fiercely with the claws, his figure appearing and disappearing in the darkness.

Suddenly, several claws stretched out from the darkness and pounced towards the crowd.

Ruan Jianan and Qin Hao fought hard, but the disparity in strength gradually made them feel powerless.

Lin Yanan's crying became more desperate.

The stranger was also injured, with blood flowing down his arm.

Just when everyone was about to be swallowed by despair, a strange sound came from deep in the passage...
