Chapter 124 The Terrifying Death Stare

After the cold wind passed, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. The air seemed to freeze, and the heavy pressure made it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.

Everyone stood there nervously, not daring to act rashly. Ruan Jianan's ears stood up, trying to catch any slight sound. His brows were furrowed, his eyes kept turning, and his body leaned forward slightly, like a vigilant cheetah. His breathing became slow, for fear that his breath would cover up the possible danger signals coming from the surroundings.

Lin Yanan folded her arms across her chest, her body shaking uncontrollably. She bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled. Her eyes were filled with fear, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Her shoulders kept twitching, and every tremor revealed her extreme fear.

Cheng Feng's eyes were wide open, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. His pupils were dilated, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, as if they were about to bulge out of his eye sockets. His lips were chapped, and he kept licking them, but it couldn't relieve the dry mouth caused by the tension in his heart. His hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms.

Qin Hao clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. His arm muscles were tense and veins were bulging, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. His eyes were firm and sharp, and although his heart was filled with fear, his reason told him to stay calm. His chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing was rapid and heavy.

The stranger narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn. The corner of his mouth drooped slightly, forming a deep wrinkle. His chin was slightly raised, as if he was thinking about a response. His eyes were deep and complex, making it difficult to understand his true thoughts.

At this moment, a slow and heavy sound of footsteps came from the darkness. The footsteps seemed to be drumbeats coming from the depths of hell, and each step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

"What...what is this?" Cheng Feng's voice was trembling badly. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Ruan Jianan made a gesture to keep quiet, "Don't make a sound!" His voice was low and stern.

Lin Yanan's tears finally burst out, and she covered her mouth desperately to prevent her crying from being heard.

Qin Hao listened attentively, trying to determine the direction and distance of the footsteps.

The strange man slowly took a few steps back, his body tense, and entered a defensive state.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone's heartbeats quickened.

Ruan Jianan could feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. His throat was dry and swallowing saliva became very difficult.

Lin Yanan's body trembled even more violently, and her teeth kept chattering, making a "clack" sound.

Cheng Feng's breathing became rapid and disordered, and his chest heaved violently like a bellows.

Qin Hao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

The stranger's eyes became more determined, and he was ready to fight at any time.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

They didn't dare to breathe, just quietly waiting for what would happen next.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes emitting a faint green light slowly opened...

The moment the pair of eyes emitting a faint green light appeared, a chill ran through everyone's spine. The green light looked so strange in the darkness, as if it was the eyes of a demon from another world.

Ruan Jianan took a breath and took a step back involuntarily. His eyes were filled with astonishment and fear, and his lips trembled slightly. His throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and he could only squeeze out a dry gasp when he tried to make a sound. His feet seemed to be dragged down by lead blocks, and every movement seemed extremely difficult.

Lin Yanan covered her mouth, and she was so frightened that she could hardly make a sound. Her eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs were almost popping out of her eye sockets. Tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding down her pale cheeks, leaving clear tear marks. Her body was shaking violently, like a dead leaf swaying in the cold wind of late autumn.

Cheng Feng's legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground. His face instantly turned pale, like a sheet of white paper. His mouth opened wide, but he could only make indistinct whimpers. His hands hung limply on both sides of his body, and his fingers kept twitching, as if he was making his last struggle.

Qin Hao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. His brows knitted together, forming a deep furrow. His teeth were clenched, and the muscles on his cheeks bulged due to excessive force. He stared at those eyes, trying to find a flaw or a chance to escape.

The stranger's face turned extremely ugly, and the hand holding the weapon trembled slightly. His breathing became rapid and disordered, and his chest rose and fell violently. A trace of hesitation and fear flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by determination. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but found it was in vain.

Those eyes were motionless in the darkness, as if they were examining them. Those eyes were like cold swords, piercing straight into the depths of everyone's souls. Everyone who was swept by those eyes felt that their hearts were completely seen through, and all their fears, cowardices, and secrets were exposed.

Time seemed to freeze, with only the sound of heavy breathing echoing in the air. Every breath was like a heavy sigh, full of despair and helplessness. The heartbeats of the crowd seemed particularly clear in the silence, like a rapidly beating war drum, foreshadowing the coming storm.

Suddenly, the eyes blinked, followed by a low roar. The roar seemed to come from the ancient wilderness, carrying endless anger and majesty. The sound waves spread in the darkness, hitting the walls and everyone's mental defenses.

Ruan Jianan's body shook violently, and his heartbeat instantly accelerated to the extreme. "What...what on earth is this?" His voice trembled, full of fear and confusion.

Lin Yanan's tears burst out like a flood, "I... I'm so scared..." Her voice was torn into pieces by fear and almost unrecognizable.

Cheng Feng slumped on the ground, constantly moving his body backwards, "Help... Help..." His voice was full of pleading, as if he was asking the whole world for help.

Qin Hao's eyes became more determined, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely find a way!" Although his voice was firm, the slightly trembling tone still exposed his inner fear.

The strange man gritted his teeth and said, "Get ready for battle!" He raised the weapon in his hand and took a defensive stance.

However, at this moment, a rustling sound came from the darkness, as if countless creatures were approaching them.

Everyone's faces turned even paler and they searched around in the darkness but could see nothing.

The low roar sounded again, this time louder and more creepy.
