Meanwhile…
The tunnel stretched endlessly ahead.
It was completely dark, barely illuminated by the faint glow of the old man's soul as he pointed the way forward.
Footsteps echoed rapidly through the narrow passage as the group rushed toward the exit.
Yet the deeper they ran, the more uneasy the air became.
"Keep going! The moment we get out of here, that thing won't be able to chase us!" the old man shouted.
Everyone nodded at his words.
Judging by the fact that this was a prison, there must be some kind of seal preventing that black flood from leaving.
Yue Lan also remembered Li Feng mentioning that he had noticed many formations at the entrance.
'Are those formations meant to keep these things from escaping...?'
Her golden eye glimmered faintly in the darkness as she pondered.
But then—
Behind them.
BOOOOM!!!
Another distant explosion roared through the underground complex.
The entire tunnel trembled violently.
