Chapter 823 Land of Darkness!
Fang Yu and Su Lengyun continued to venture deeper.
The range visible to their naked eyes was limited to the weak light emanating from the orb in front of them, which glowed like a dim bulb.
In reality, this small amount of light wasn’t very useful.
They could only rely on their instincts, following their initial direction and continuing forward.
Due to the softness of the ground beneath their feet, walking didn’t produce any sound.
As a result, the surroundings were in a state of extreme silence, where even breathing could be heard clearly.
During this process, the uneasiness in Su Lengyun’s heart intensified.
Her courage had always been decent, but for some unknown reason, she seemed particularly vulnerable this time.
Without realizing it, Su Lengyun had wrapped both hands around Fang Yu’s arm.
In such a quiet environment, Fang Yu could even hear the rapid beating of Su Lengyun’s heart.
Therefore, he knew that Su Lengyun was currently in a state of extreme anxiety.
But he didn’t think it was simply because Su Lengyun was timid.
He understood clearly that Su Lengyun’s fear stemmed from the negative influence of this environment.
Even Fang Yu felt a sense of discomfort.
It seemed as if countless eyes were watching them from within the darkness.
Fang Yu closed his eyes and activated his Eye of Insight.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils glowed red, with white runes rapidly rotating.
In Fang Yu’s field of vision, everything was still a grayish color.
But despite the grayness, he could see some intersecting lines.
Expanding his vision, he could make out the rough outlines of the surrounding environment.
“This is…” Fang Yu’s mind stirred.
In his vision, he could see that beneath their feet was a spiraling downward path.
As he and Su Lengyun kept walking forward, they were actually circling down this spiral path, gradually descending.
Continuing downward, the end seemed to become a flat area… but what was inside couldn’t be clearly seen.
Fang Yu looked up, somewhat surprised.
It was rare for the Eye of Insight to be so severely limited.
What exactly existed in this place?
“Brother Yu, can you see anything?” Su Lengyun asked softly.
“We’re heading downward. At the bottom is a flat area, which should be the end. I think we can walk faster,” Fang Yu said.
“Okay,” Su Lengyun replied.
But just as Su Lengyun was about to speed up, her foot suddenly stepped into some kind of liquid, making a ‘splat’ sound.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Yu asked.
“On the ground… there seems to be something,” Su Lengyun’s voice trembled.
Fang Yu frowned and directed the light orb in front of him toward the ground.
The orb slowly descended, its faint light dimly illuminating the object on the ground.
The first thing they saw was a face contorted in terror!
His mouth was wide open, with a tongue sticking out, and blood flowing from both eyes.
Such a corpse, though uncommon in daily life, wouldn’t normally frighten people.
But for Su Lengyun, who was already extremely uneasy, seeing this face caused the fear in her heart to explode like ignited gunpowder, instantly spreading throughout her body, leaving her ice-cold!
She let out a small cry, pressed close to Fang Yu, and embraced him.
Feeling the warmth of Fang Yu’s body, Su Lengyun’s cheeks flushed red in the darkness, her heart filled with both embarrassment and fear.
Fang Yu paid no attention to Su Lengyun’s reaction and instead controlled the light orb, slowly moving it down toward the corpse on the ground.
Soon, he saw that there was also a bloody hole in the left chest of the corpse.
Judging from the still-wet bloodstains…
“This person died not long ago,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun had mentioned earlier that the news about this ancient ruin’s opening was announced by the Kuitian Bureau.
Therefore, there would certainly be many brave individuals who would come to this place.
Finding a corpse here wasn’t surprising.
The only thing Fang Yu wondered about was… why were the person’s eyeballs and heart removed?
…
After that, Fang Yu and Su Lengyun began to accelerate their pace forward.
During this process, Fang Yu discovered another extremely bizarre point.
It was about direction.
In the darkness, although they couldn’t clearly see their surroundings,
There seemed to be a force in the darkness guiding Fang Yu and Su Lengyun forward.
In other words, Fang Yu and Su Lengyun’s sense of direction was actually influenced by an external force.
Once they started moving, they were circling down the spiral path.
After realizing this, Fang Yu and Su Lengyun directly released their true energy and flew.
“Whoosh!”
In the darkness, the sound of the two breaking through the air could be heard.
After flying for nearly half an hour, Fang Yu and Su Lengyun seemed to have reached the bottom.
The pressure in this place suddenly intensified!
Although this pressure wasn’t much for Fang Yu,
He knew that Su Lengyun definitely couldn’t withstand it.
“Let’s return to the ground,” Fang Yu said.
So, he and Su Lengyun returned to the ground.
In the darkness, Su Lengyun once again reached out with both hands and embraced Fang Yu’s right arm.
Fang Yu activated his Eye of Insight again and looked ahead.
In the vision of the Eye of Insight, he saw a small point of light.
As he focused his vision closer, the point of light grew larger!
This meant that ahead was the exit from this dark path!
“Let’s go, we’ll soon leave this haunted place,” Fang Yu said.
The surrounding pressure grew stronger, and Fang Yu no longer flew but walked quickly with Su Lengyun toward the point of light ahead.
After walking for just a few minutes, Fang Yu suddenly sensed a strange noise from the side.
Fang Yu turned his head and moved the light orb over.
“Swish…”
In that instant, a whistling sound came from the darkness.
Something flew toward them!
Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his left fist, striking out!
“Boom!”
Before the object could touch Fang Yu, it was shattered by his precise punch!
In the darkness, Fang Yu could hear the sound of liquid splashing, but couldn’t clearly see the situation in front of him.
“Forget it, no need to hurry to examine these things. Let’s get out of this haunted place first,” Fang Yu thought.
So, he continued to accelerate forward.
Soon, the point of light ahead grew larger and brighter.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu rushed out of the exit and could finally see the scene in front of him clearly.
This was a huge stone chamber.
Looking ahead, he could see mountain-like seats, stone cups as large as boulders, and various other facilities.
From these circumstances, it was clear that this was actually a great hall.
But it was definitely not a hall built by humans.
Because the size of all the items in the hall did not match human proportions.
“This place… should be the great hall of some alien race,” Fang Yu muttered.
Su Lengyun beside him didn’t speak.
Fang Yu turned his head to look, and his expression changed slightly.
The person next to him, whose hands were wrapped around his arm, was no longer Su Lengyun, but a corpse!
Both eyes had become bloody holes, and there was also a bloody hole in the left chest!
But the clothing was still Su Lengyun’s clothing! The face… was also Su Lengyun’s face!
Fang Yu pulled out his right arm, and the corpse fell straight to the ground.
Su Lengyun… was dead?
Fang Yu crouched down to examine the condition of the corpse.
There was no breathing, and the fresh blood flowing from the left chest was still somewhat warm.
Fang Yu placed the back of his hand against the neck of the corpse and could feel a slight coldness, with the temperature fading.
Fang Yu frowned deeply, only now realizing that in the dark tunnel, Su Lengyun hadn’t made a sound for a long time.
After seeing that corpse on the ground, Su Lengyun hadn’t made any sound!
Could it be that at that time…
“Impossible.”
Fang Yu looked at the corpse in front of him, his gaze calm.
Although it was pitch black around them at the time, if the person beside him had been in danger, Fang Yu would have definitely noticed something.
Fang Yu stood up and looked at the corpse that resembled Su Lengyun at his feet, his gaze sharp.
The more he stared at this corpse, the more he noticed certain details…
They were exactly the same as the corpse he had seen earlier in the darkness!
The curves of the two streams of fresh blood flowing from the eye sockets were identical!
After discovering this, Fang Yu immediately understood… everything before him was just an illusion!
As this thought flashed through his mind, the scene before Fang Yu’s eyes instantly changed.
A corpse still lay at his feet, but the clothing, face, and that sky-blue hair had all disappeared.
Instead, it was the corpse of a man wearing a gray robe.
“Brother Yu…” At this moment, Su Lengyun’s trembling voice came from ahead.
