Chapter 1565 - 1564: A Narrow Escape
Ling Fengshen gave Ye Qian a deep look: "Alright, I’ll make sure to come out quickly!"
"Then I’ll start now."
Ye Qian said, with a flash of light in her hand, then a talisman appeared, gradually falling onto the formation.
White light shone, an invisible vortex appeared, rushing towards the stone wall.
Soon, Ling Feng saw changes occurring on the stone wall, which also turned into a vortex, slowly rotating.
The stone wall slowly opened to both sides, and Ling Feng didn’t dare to delay, immediately stepping inside.
Protected by the formation, though it was extremely cold inside, there was no sense of evil presence.
But Ling Feng knew clearly that just a few centimeters around him, the stagnant evil presence was as thick as liquid, giving a sticky feeling.
That sensation was like falling into viscous crude oil.
Ling Feng had already seen the black crystal standing on the ground.
This thing looked like a crystal cluster, only much larger, and each one stood upright, very impressive.
Time was short, Ling Feng quickly stepped forward, grabbing a crystal to try and snap it!
Unexpectedly, it was extremely hard, and even using all his strength, it didn’t budge, not even a fraction!
"Damn it!"
Ling Feng cursed, looked around, trying to pick up a broken piece, but unfortunately, all these crystal columns had grown from the ground, none were fragmented.
In desperation, he took out the God Slayer Saber to try cutting it.
At this moment, ten seconds had passed. Ling Feng’s forehead began to sweat, and he became anxious.
The blade touched the crystal, but no matter how hard Ling Feng tried, he couldn’t cut even a millimeter!
It’s over!
Ling Feng sighed inwardly; it seemed this trip would be in vain!
Half the time had passed, and he was at his wit’s end.
He had thought that the place was full of crystal stones and taking a piece back would be easy, only now realizing he had underestimated it.
At that moment, a shadow flashed beside him, Tian Lian stepped forward.
"Master, do you want this?"
"Yes, can you help me?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
Tian Lian also cultivates by absorbing evil presence. Why did he forget her at this crucial moment?
At this time, Tian Lian nodded: "No problem!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand reached out and started pulling the crystals out one by one as if she were pulling weeds.
Ling Feng was dumbfounded, but knowing he couldn’t waste time, he quickly started storing them in the Space Bracelet.
In the hurry, he didn’t know how many he took. The time was already twenty-five seconds when Ling Feng finally shouted, "Alright, we need to retreat!"
"Got it!"
Tian Lian said and instantly vanished.
At the same time, Ling Feng turned around and ran out, reaching outside a second later.
Meanwhile, there was a rumble behind him as the stone wall closed.
Simultaneously, the formation in front of Ye Qian’s eyes exploded with intense light, then with a bang, all the items turned to dust.
The formation couldn’t support it and broke.
Ling Feng saw Ye Qian’s body sway and hurriedly went to support her: "Are you okay?"
"I... I’m fine."
Ye Qian’s face was terribly pale, yet she forced a faint smile.
Ling Feng felt a pang of heartache, immediately initiating teleportation without saying a word.
But unfortunately, perhaps due to the dense evil presence or the thick ground layer, the teleportation failed!
Having no choice, Ling Feng hoisted Ye Qian up and quickly left.
"Brother Ling, it’s okay, I can manage on my own." Ye Qian said weakly.
"Enough, no talking now, just close your eyes and rest quietly. The evil presence has already invaded your body."
Holding her soft body, Ling Feng could sense the root of her weakness was mainly from absorbing a lot of evil presence just now.
So he couldn’t allow her to walk by herself anymore.
Carrying her, Ling Feng hurriedly walked on, calculating that it might take four or five hours to get back. If his timing wasn’t accurate, both he and she might end up buried in this underground space.
As he was getting anxious, Tian Lian’s voice echoed in his mind: "Master, if you’re in a hurry to leave, I can have Little Hei help!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, pausing slightly: "How can it help?"
"This passage can accommodate it. You can ride on Little Hei!" Tian Lian replied.
"Okay, let’s hurry up and get out of here!" Ling Feng nodded immediately.
After a flash of light in the passage, Little Hei appeared and then transformed into a Giant Python!
Ling Feng, holding Ye Qian, climbed up, straddling her on Little Hei’s back, then wrapped his arms tightly around her waist: "Go!"
At these words, Little Hei began to move in the passage, getting faster and faster, until Ling Feng felt like he was riding a subway.
He didn’t know how long it took, when suddenly there was a tremor in the passage!
Then came a series of rumbling sounds, as an earthquake started.
Ling Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment, his heart leaping into his throat.
But just then, Little Hei had already crawled into the outside underground world, light appeared, and Ling Feng saw the elevator exit!
Amid the continuous rumbling in the space and the faint tremors of the ground, Ling Feng had Little Hei return to the Jade Pendant, carrying Ye Qian and rushing forward.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Inside the elevator, Ling Feng pressed the ascend button, anxiously shouting.
Unfortunately, machinery is just machinery, the elevator doors slowly closed, then started ascending slowly.
Even the elevator shaft began vibrating, so Ling Feng and Ye Qian were not entirely out of danger, their suspended hearts couldn’t relax.
Ling Feng glanced at Ye Qian, noticing her face still pale, her eyes watching him.
So he squeezed out a small smile: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
Ye Qian blushed, then nodded slightly: "Mm."
A few minutes later, the tremors gradually subsided, and the elevator reached the first underground level.
Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief, carrying Ye Qian as he walked out.
As the elevator doors opened, they saw quite a few people standing outside, including Zhang He, Lin Xue, and Chen Yan.
Seeing them return, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief, then Lin Xue said with some lingering fear: "You scared us, we thought..."
Ling Feng smiled: "Seeing the elevator come up, what is there to fear?"
"We thought the automatic return program had started, not knowing you were inside!"
Lin Xue said, then looked at Ye Qian’s pale face, asking in amazement: "What’s wrong with Qian Qian?"
"Evil presence entered her body, she’ll be fine after taking some medicine!"
Ling Feng said, carrying Ye Qian directly to her dorm.
Everyone hurriedly followed.
Half an hour later, Ye Qian’s body was cleared of the evil presence, and she returned to normal.
With the danger averted, Zhang He couldn’t help but ask: "Did you succeed this time?"
