Chapter 939: The deepest fear in the heart, a carnival of a hundred ghosts
Su Yu hesitated, but still nodded.
Just as the man in white said, the longer the Xunfa Secret Realm was on him, the more dangerous he was. There were so many people wanting to snatch the secret realm; as long as they knew the secret realm was on him, he would never have peace in this life.
The next second, Su Yu flashed into the secret realm, and the man in white followed immediately.
This time, Su Yu's scene was still at the bottom of the lake, with the opened treasure chest in front of him.
He could breathe and speak underwater, but it was pitch black before his eyes. Su Yu could vaguely hear the gurgling sound of water coming from the side, so he tentatively asked a question.
"Is that you?"
A response came quickly from that side.
"It is me. Please reach out now, hold my hand, and we will swim forward together. The exit is ahead."
Su Yu responded and grabbed the man in white's sleeve.
The man in white took the lead, guiding Su Yu to swim forward. Su Yu, following behind, didn't even need to exert effort.
Gradually, Su Yu saw a small point of light and just had to follow by kicking his feet.
The light point got closer and closer to the two. As they gradually approached it, he could feel some warmth rising in his cold body. Su Yu tightened his grip on the man in white's sleeve.
The man in white looked back at him and asked with concern.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yu shook his head, a flash of fear in his eyes.
He didn't know why, but the closer he got to the light point, the warmer his body became, but the feeling of fear that rose immediately after became stronger and stronger.
It was as if it were telling him that the light point was not actually an exit, but a passage to hell.
But Su Yu resisted and didn't say this thought out loud. Although his body was warm, his heart was ice cold.
It was getting closer and closer.
Su Yu could only feel a bright light before his eyes. After the man in white swam in first, Su Yu was dragged in, having no choice but to follow.
The fear that rose in his heart in an instant was beyond measure.
In the gap of the white light transition, Su Yu heard the man in white say softly.
"Get ready."
Before Su Yu could think about it, he had already passed to the other side.
After a strong white light flashed, the surrounding environment slowly darkened. The scene that appeared before his eyes was as terrifying as hell.
Su Yu stopped at the entrance, looking at everything before him.
On both sides of the corridor were locked cages, each narrow cage holding something that didn't look human... if one had to describe it, it could only be described as a malicious ghost.
Some ghosts even had extremely terrifying and miserable appearances... some were maggot-ridden, some were headless; the variety of their appearances was truly too many.
And the road under his feet had peculiar patterns, poured with some dark red substance, looking like dried blood or blood-red paint. On both sides of the corridor, every other cage was fitted with a lamp with a blue flame, but it was very dim, making the whole scene even more terrifying.
Su Yu stopped at the entrance. He heard the shrill screams coming from the ghosts inside, so he asked the man in white.
"Here, what is my condition for clearing the level?"
The man in white walked forward as if nothing had happened, seemingly accustomed to this kind of scene. Hearing Su Yu's voice, he quickly turned back and said.
"Just follow me through this corridor... but on the other side of the corridor, there may be even more terrifying things waiting for you. I can escort you to the end, but some of the trials must be attempted by you alone."
Su Yu's mouth twitched upon hearing this.
"So is this place hell?"
"Yes, and no. This is the scene you consider most terrifying in your heart. At this moment, as an existence like your nightmare, it is sending you an invitation to a trial." The man in white laughed shortly when he said this. "This is only the first level."
Su Yu was indeed afraid of such things, but as he became stronger, he slowly didn't feel that ghosts were very terrifying. Besides, he had his life-bound beast, which could solve everything for him.
So Su Yu said.
"Let's go."
The man in white looked at him deeply. The next second, he stepped out.
Su Yu followed behind the man in white.
The very first second he stepped onto that corridor, the ghost in the first cage seemed to have smelled some delicious food that made it drool. It rushed from the darkest corner to the front of the cage, shaking the iron bars, and even tried to reach out a mangled hand to grab him.
The corridor was already narrow. When the ghost stretched out both hands, Su Yu was forced to lean to the other side, but when he realized there was still a cage on the other side, he stopped in place.
The ghost opposite the first cage was clearly a bit slow. Only when Su Yu stopped outside the cage did it seem to sense something. It walked slowly to the front of the cage. It wasn't as eager as its neighbor opposite, but opened its bloody mouth, grinning with a mouthful of sharp teeth, trying to break through the iron cage.
Su Yu realized that if this continued, he would very likely be dragged in, so he didn't hesitate anymore, grabbed the man in white's sleeve, and rushed forward.
But Su Yu's scent was like a fine delicacy to these ghosts; no ghost could escape the meat fragrance belonging to a living person that Su Yu emitted. ===== CHAPTER 941 =====
