Chapter 881: A trap that appeared suddenly—there was absolutely no way out!

Su Yu instinctively reached out to grab, but Ling Yu's falling speed was too fast; he only brushed against her fingertips before she was gone.

Chao Yan and Qian Fei also reacted very quickly; they lay down holding their lamps, using the light to peer into the tunnel that had suddenly appeared.

However, it was pitch black inside, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

Su Yu sat up with an expressionless face, then looked at the two of them.

"Are you going down, or are you going to keep moving forward?"

Qian Fei barely hesitated; the moment Su Yu finished speaking, he jumped down.

As for Chao Yan, he just stared at the tunnel for a while, then exchanged a look with Su Yu before quickly jumping in as well.

This left Su Yu holding the spirit stone in his hand, hesitating at the tunnel entrance.

Su Yu would not be as reckless as those two; he would not enter easily until he had confirmed that the tunnel was completely safe.

... But Su Yu looked at the pitch-black path ahead and tightened his grip on the edge of the tunnel.

The next moment, Su Yu's figure also disappeared beside the tunnel.

The instant he jumped down, Su Yu only felt a sense of weightlessness. The speed of the fall was very fast, and during the descent, he couldn't even make a sound.

As for why he hadn't heard the sound of the previous three people falling, he guessed it was because this sensation of weightlessness was simply too unbearable.

Su Yu had seen plenty of big scenes, yet at this moment, he actually counted the seconds to estimate the total length of the tunnel.

Thirty seconds had passed, and he still hadn't landed. Just how deep was this tunnel?

But the instant the weightlessness ended, Su Yu's feet made contact with the ground.

He let out a sigh of relief, but quickly sensed that something was wrong.

This place was far too cold and damp, and the feeling of his feet stepping on the ground was completely different from tile or concrete.

Because it was soft!

Su Yu didn't dare to linger where he was; he walked very quickly, wanting to go ahead to find his three fallen teammates.

Not long after walking, Su Yu heard the sound of conversation.

He couldn't hear the content clearly, but soon the two groups bumped into each other head-on.

Ling Yu, who was walking at the very front, saw Su Yu and let out a sigh of relief: "I knew you would definitely come down."

Su Yu nodded, then crouched down to touch the ground.

It was just this touch that gave him a massive shock.

"What kind of place is this?" Su Yu carefully felt the texture at his fingertips; it was moist and soft, like a peeled lychee... and the abdomen of some animal.

Upon hearing this, the other three also mimicked Su Yu's actions and touched the ground they were standing on.

Subsequently, someone said with a tremor: "I feel like we are slowly and slightly bobbing up and down... Do you understand that feeling? It's like we are standing on a monster's belly, rising and falling slowly with its breathing."

The person speaking was Qian Fei; he was the one with the keenest senses in the team.

Once these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed drastically!

"So," Chao Yan's voice carried a rare tremor, "do we... still have a possibility of getting out?"

No one had expected that there would be such a terrifying thing inside this ancient palace. Although they weren't yet sure what this thing was, the intense pressure it brought made everyone feel unsettled.

Su Yu was the first among them to calm down. He polished the spirit stone, walked to the spot where he had landed, and looked up to peer above.

Then he walked back and shook his head at them: "We can't get out. There is no ladder here, and the descent was very long; the passage is extremely narrow. Even if we could summon our own life-bound beasts, they wouldn't be able to carry us up at all."

"What does that mean..." Ling Yu's lips trembled slightly, "Does that mean we can't get out, and we are going to be trapped here to die?"

After all, they were still young and didn't seem to have much experience, but Su Yu was different from them.

He had walked step by step from an unknown pawn to where he was today, and he had indeed experienced many setbacks.

"Since things have reached this point, we can only take it one step at a time." ===== CHAPTER 883 =====
