【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 120 The game has just begun

The mysterious man's words made everyone's heart sink to the bottom again. The nerves that had just relaxed slightly because of the monster's fall instantly tensed up again. The air seemed to become heavy and oppressive, and every breath was filled with deep worry.

Ruan Jianan looked at the mysterious man with a firm gaze, "No matter how great the danger, we will not retreat." His eyes burned with an unyielding fire, and his clenched fists showed his determination. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his tone was firm and decisive, as if he was declaring his struggle against fate.

Lin Yanan's eyes were full of worry, but she still nodded, "As long as we are together, we will definitely get through this difficult time." Although her voice was a little trembling, her eyes revealed a firm trust. She bit her lower lip lightly, her hands twisted together unconsciously, her body trembled slightly, but she still tried to stand firm.

Cheng Feng's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What should we do next?" His eyes were filled with confusion and fear, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His lips were dry and he kept licking them. His legs were also a little weak, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time.

Qin Hao bit his lip and said, "Let's listen to what the mysterious man has to say first." His eyes revealed a hint of calmness and thinking. Although he was also full of anxiety, he tried to stay rational. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes moved back and forth between the mysterious man and the crowd.

The strange man remained silent, just looking ahead thoughtfully. His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was thinking about some profound problem. His expression was solemn, his hands were folded in front of his chest, and his body was slightly leaning back, as if he was observing and analyzing the current situation in a unique way.

The mysterious man raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. "The road ahead is full of unknowns. You need to be mentally prepared." His voice echoed in the passage, with an ethereal and distant feeling. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and the staff in his hand was shaking gently, with light flickering on the tip of the staff.

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the source of the light. His steps were light but firm, and his white robe fluttered in the wind, like a mysterious phantom.

Everyone looked at each other and followed the mysterious man. Their footsteps echoed in the silent passage, breaking the long silence.

The passage was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, making people feel inexplicably depressed. Water drops on the wall kept dripping, making a ticking sound, as if it was a countdown to the passage of time. The air was filled with a damp smell, mixed with a hint of an indescribable old smell.

As we walked, we found several forks in the road. At the forks, faint light shone from different directions, forming areas of alternating light and dark.

The mysterious man stopped, as if thinking about which one to choose. His eyes scanned back and forth between several forked roads, and the light of the gem on the staff began to flicker.

Everyone gathered around, looking confused.

"These roads all look similar. How do I choose?" Cheng Feng said anxiously, his voice full of anxiety and irritability.

"Don't panic, let's observe carefully." Ruan Jianan comforted, his eyes carefully examining the entrance of each fork in the road.

Lin Yanan said timidly: "I feel like every road is so scary."

Qin Hao squatted down and checked the traces on the ground. "There seem to be some subtle clues here."

The strange man walked to the center of the fork in the road, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the air flow and sounds around him.

At this moment, a gloomy sound of wind came from one of the forks in the road. The wind whistled past with a bone-piercing chill, as if it was the wind of death blowing from the abyss of the underworld.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"What...what is this sound?" Lin Yanan grabbed Ruan Jianan's arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good sign."

The mysterious man opened his eyes and said, "This sound of wind may be a warning, or it may be a guidance."

Everyone fell into deep thought, how should they choose?

If they choose the wrong path, they may end up in a more dangerous situation; but if they don’t choose, staying where they are is not a solution either.
