With A Xing's encouragement, Lin Fan steeled his heart and his hands burst out with even more powerful light, striking hard at the mysterious crystal ball. Under the impact of this powerful force, the crystal ball instantly shone brightly. The light was like a supernova explosion, dazzling. Then, with a deafening "boom", it shattered into countless brilliant fragments that flew in all directions. The fragments streaked through the air like meteors, flashing a faint blue light, and then scattered on the ground.
At the same time, the laser beams that were like the scythes of death stopped abruptly the moment the crystal ball shattered. However, before Lin Fan could breathe a sigh of relief, the entire ruin began to shake violently. It was as if the ruin was being shaken by an invisible giant hand. The surrounding walls cracked one after another, and huge rocks kept falling from above. The rocks made a rumbling noise when they fell, raising a cloud of dust. The dust filled the air, blocking people's vision and making it difficult to breathe.
"Not good, the ruin is collapsing! We have to get out of here quickly!" Lin Fan shouted, canceled his transformation, and pulled A Xing to run towards the exit. His voice was particularly loud in this chaotic ruin, full of anxiety and urgency, like a life-saving alarm bell ringing in this deadly and dangerous environment.
They ran desperately in the crumbling passage. Behind them, the roar of the collapsing rocks continued. Each vibration was like the footsteps of death, closing in step by step. A Xing was panting heavily. He stumbled and almost fell. His face was pale, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. His eyes were full of fear. The fear was like a tide in the dark, almost drowning him. Lin Fan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed him and shouted anxiously, "A Xing, don't stop, run!" His eyes were firm and resolute, like a lighthouse in the dark, transmitting strength to A Xing and dispelling the dark cloud of fear in his heart.
Just when they were about to reach the exit, a huge rock suddenly blocked their way in front of the passage. The rock was more than two people tall and blocked their escape route tightly. The rock was like a small hill, lying across their path, emitting a cold and desperate aura, making them feel as if they were trapped in a hopeless situation.
"We're doomed. We're trapped!" A Xing looked at the huge boulder in despair, his voice choked with sobs. His body was slightly trembling, as if he had lost all his strength. His eyes were staring blankly ahead, as if his soul had been taken away.
Lin Fan looked at the rocks constantly falling around and was extremely anxious. He quickly scanned the surroundings and found a ventilation duct opening above his head. The ventilation duct opening was like a glimmer of life. It was particularly conspicuous in this dark and desperate environment, like a ray of dawn in the dark. "A Xing, let's go through the ventilation duct!" Lin Fan said, squatting down and motioning for A Xing to step on his shoulder. His action was quick and decisive, without any hesitation, showing his calmness and courage in a crisis.
A Xing climbed onto Lin Fan's shoulder with difficulty, reached out and grabbed the edge of the ventilation duct opening, and pushed hard to climb in. His action was a bit clumsy, but in a life-and-death situation, he also burst out with a force, which was the potential inspired by a strong desire for survival. Lin Fan then canceled his transformation and jumped up, grabbed the duct opening and climbed in.
The ventilation duct was filled with a pungent smell of dust. The dust smell was like a pungent smoke, irritating their nasal cavities and making them cough uncontrollably. The space was narrow, and they could only crawl forward. Each step forward was extremely difficult. The sound of the collapse behind them was still ringing in their ears, as if it would swallow them at any time. The collapse sound was like a fierce beast roaring, terrifying and constantly reminding them that the danger was right behind.
"Lin Fan, I feel like we're going to die this time." A Xing said with a sob while crawling. His voice echoed in the ventilation duct, full of helplessness and despair, like a wail in the dark abyss.
"Don't talk nonsense. We can definitely get out!" Lin Fan replied firmly, but his forehead was also covered with beads of sweat. There was a glimmer of tension in his eyes, but more of firmness and unyieldingness. It was a belief of never bowing to fate.
Just when they were crawling with difficulty, they suddenly heard a strange sound in front. The sound was like some huge creature crawling in the duct, and it was getting closer. The sound was rustling, like a brush scraping against the duct wall, making people's hair stand on end, as if there were countless ghosts shuttling in the dark.
"What's that sound? Could it be another monster?" A Xing said in horror.
