The straight corridor ahead was cloaked in darkness, with only the area around him illuminated by the light naturally emanating from his body, lighting up a radius of five or six meters.
Within the illuminated scope, one could see countless tiny dust particles floating in the darkness, invisible to the common eye. But upon closer inspection, they weren't particles of dust but minuscule insects, swarming in clusters through the air, frenziedly rushing towards him the moment they made contact with his light, only to be obliterated into even finer dust by an invisible force as they drew near.
Looking closer at the ground, he discovered that the gray floor was actually a thick layer of insect carcasses, spread out like a carpet of gray snow.
Lin Xiao took a big step forward, treading on the layer of gray snow, faintly hearing countless tiny screeches as if in response.
His body slowly lifted off the ground, speed up, and he flew forward along the corridor.
