【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 119 The Man in the Light

The flickering light was getting closer and closer, attracting everyone's attention. The light was like a dreamy veil, dancing softly and illuminating every dark corner in the passage.

Ruan Jianan frowned, his eyes showing both expectation and vigilance. He fixed his gaze on the light, trying to find clues from it. His body was slightly tense, and his injured arm was in pain, but he endured it and did not dare to relax at all.

Lin Yanan hid behind Ruan Jianan, half of her head stuck out, staring at the light without blinking. Her breathing was rapid and disordered, and her heartbeat was clearly audible in the silent passage. Her hands tightly grasped the corner of Ruan Jianan's clothes, as if that was her only support.

Cheng Feng swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "What...what on earth is this?" His eyes widened, filled with fear and curiosity. He involuntarily took a few steps back, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

Qin Hao clenched his fists and leaned forward slightly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time. His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing a determination not to back down. Although his wound was still aching, his mind was highly focused.

The strange man looked deep in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the secret behind the light. His brows were furrowed, his lips were slightly pursed, and various possibilities were running rapidly in his mind.

As the light approached, everyone discovered that it was a soft halo, as if carrying some mysterious power. The halo was like a warm sun, dispelling the darkness and coldness around. Wherever the light went, the water droplets on the wall sparkled with crystal light, and the dust on the ground became dreamlike.

In the halo, there seemed to be a vague figure looming. The figure was like a reflection in the water, illusory and unreal.

"What is that?" Lin Yanan couldn't help but exclaimed. Her voice broke the brief silence and echoed in the passage.

Ruan Jianan made a silent gesture, signaling everyone to keep quiet. He placed his finger lightly on his lips, his eyes full of tension and seriousness.

At this time, the figure gradually became clearer. It turned out to be a mysterious man in a white robe. The robe fluttered in the wind, as if blending with the surrounding light. The mysterious man had a slender and upright figure, exuding an extraordinary temperament.

The mysterious man's face was covered by shadows, so his features could not be seen clearly, but his posture showed an elegance and composure. In his hand, he held a slender staff, the top of which was inlaid with a dazzling gem, emitting a mysterious light.

"Why are you here?" The voice was ethereal, as if it came from the distant sky. The voice was like the sound of nature, echoing in everyone's ears, but leaving people puzzled.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Their eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment, and their hearts were filled with countless questions.

Seeing this, the mysterious man sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and helplessness.

At this moment, the monster behind him roared again, ready to move. Its eyes flashed with angry flames, and a scorching breath spewed out of its mouth.

The mysterious man slowly turned around and faced the monster. He raised his staff and muttered something. The gem on the staff instantly shone brightly, illuminating the entire passage.

The monster was enveloped by the light and roared in pain. Its body kept twisting, trying to break free from the light.

Everyone watched this scene nervously, not daring to breathe.

Lin Yanan grasped Ruan Jianan's arm tightly, her nails digging deeply into his flesh.

Cheng Feng's legs kept shaking and he could hardly support the weight of his body.

Qin Hao gritted his teeth and stared intently at the battle between the mysterious man and the monster.

The strange man narrowed his eyes, observing the mysterious man's every move, trying to find some clues from it.

The mysterious man's spell became more and more rapid, and the light became stronger and stronger. The monster's roar gradually became weaker, and finally fell to the ground, no longer moving.

The mysterious man put away his staff and turned around to face everyone.

"This monster is just the beginning. Greater dangers are yet to come." The mysterious man's voice was still ethereal.

Everyone was shocked. What could be the greater danger?
