Chapter 657: Dangerous Situation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Without waiting for Bai ngning to finish her inner monologue, a surge of power rushed towards her.
White ngning stumbled into the (Life) door.
If soone were to see her face at this mont, they would notice extre tension on her expression.
She quickly stabilized herself, keeping her senses sharp and her head low, carefully watching her steps.
Inside this underground passage, Gu Qingluan realized her spiritual awareness was limited. She was only able to sense within a radius of about ten yards.
She noticed Bai ngning’s movents and lowered her head.
Bai ngning wasn’t walking in a straight line.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes flickered slightly as she reminded Feng Tianlan, “Follow the path Bai ngning took. Make sure you take the sa step as her.”
The underground passage was eerily quiet, and their footsteps sounded particularly clear.
After who knows how long, they finally reached the end of the passage.
Bai ngning breathed a sigh of relief.
But at that mont, a sudden change occurred!
A white figure abruptly dashed out from the opposite direction and landed in front of Bai ngning.
No!
Bai ngning scread silently, panicked and desperate to escape the passage.
She had forgotten that she was bound by Gu Qingluan and couldn’t take more than a couple of steps.
Gu Qingluan’s attention was imdiately drawn to the unexpected appearance of Xiao Bai. “Xiao Bai?”
“Squeak!”
Xiao Bai looked at her with shiny eyes and, after landing, was about to jump towards her.
Boom!
Countless hidden weapons shot out from the walls, both left and right, and from above and below.
Everyone was within range of the projectiles.
Xiao Bai sensed the danger and was instantly terrified, causing its fur to stand on end.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes sharpened, and the golden silkworm threads wrapped around Bai ngning loosened. Instead, they encircled Xiao Bai’s body. She then waved her hand, releasing a burst of white light towards the concealed weapons.
Feng Tianlan acted swiftly too. He imdiately set up a barrier around them. The hidden weapons hit the barrier and created dazzling vortexes.
But Bai ngning was exposed to the range of the projectiles!
She couldn’t use her arcane power and had no way to defend against the hidden weapons.
Was she going to die here today?
Despair filled Bai ngning’s eyes.
Although Gu Qingluan threatened Bai ngning, she didn’t actually want to take her life before uncovering the truth.
Seeing Bai ngning about to be swallowed by the hidden weapons, Gu Qingluan cast a protective light around her.
Bai ngning was montarily stunned.
Then, she was distracted by a chanism that was triggered, stealing away all her focus.
Gu Qingluan had not anticipated that triggering one chanism would set off a series of ambushes.
Feng Tianlan and Gu Qingluan were in a confined space and couldn’t move freely.
Moreover, both of them rembered not to tread on the ground carelessly, so they could only stay in place or leap up to avoid it.
Gu Qingluan pulled Bai ngning close and, in passing, tapped her neck.
“How can we get out of here?”
At the very mont the chanism was triggered, a stone wall dropped from the end of the passage, blocking their way out.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Bai ngning coughed several tis, trying to evade while still feeling uncomfortable, especially from the coughing.
“If you want to live, speak up!” Gu Qingluan urged.
Bai ngning swallowed hard, catching her breath before responding, “There’s no way out unless soone outside opens the stone door. Otherwise, none of us can leave.”
“Not even you, a mber of the Bai family?” Gu Qingluan asked skeptically.
Bai ngning looked frustrated. “Exactly, not even . I wanted to warn you earlier, but you didn’t let speak.”
So it was their fault?
Gu Qingluan sneered. “Rember what I said earlier?”
Bai ngning’s breath caught.
How could she forget?
They had said they would use her as a shield, even if it ant her death!
“So, soone from outside must open the door, right? You find a way to contact the person outside the passage. I refuse to believe you have no ans.
Seeing Bai ngning remain silent, a cold and sharp glint flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes. Suddenly, she positioned Bai ngning in front of her as a shield.
A tiny projectile the size of an arrowhead was flying directly towards Bai ngning’s eye.
Bai ngning was terrified, and she shouted in fear, “I’ll talk! 1’11 talk!”
Clang!
The projectile was knocked away by a powerful gust of wind, hitting the wall and making a crisp collision sound.
“Don’t play any tricks!” Gu Qingluan grabbed her collar and sternly warned.
Bai ngning said, “There’s a hidden groove next to the stone door. I can only open the door when I reach there.”
However, there were many hidden traps between them and the stone door, making it impossible for her to pass.
Feng Tianlan said to Gu Qingluan, “I’ll control those hidden traps. You can escort her to the side of the stone door.”
Gu Qingluan nodded.
Then, Feng Tianlan lifted her hand, and the palm emitted a dazzling purple light, enveloping the entire space.
The hidden traps that were in motion all froze in place.
And any concealed traps attempting to spring forth were consistently held back by the radiant purple light.
As they surged and were held in check, they found a balance between the two forces.
Bai ngning watched in astonishnt.
Gu Qingluan then pulled her through the flow of hidden traps to the front of the stone door.
“Open the door!”
