Chapter 1001: The True Lethal Curves
âGulpâŚâ In the darkness, Yuwen Xuan seemed to swallow hard.
As the distance closed in, Ling Mo couldnât help but clench his fistsâŚ
The sensation of being in the dark, trying to approach an unknown target, was both thrilling and suffocatingâŚ
âBe carefulâŚâ Shuhan whispered softly after two seconds.
No sooner had she spoken than a faint sound broke the silence.
âCre-eak.â
The sound wasnât loud, but it startled the three of them, who were holding their breath.
Ling Mo immediately felt an added weight on his arm, accompanied by a soft, pressing sensationâŚ
Shuhan covered her mouth, gripping Ling Mo tightly.
Just moments ago, she had been leading the way, but now she was trembling all over with fearâŚ
She couldnât hold it together!
Meanwhile, Yuwen Xuan was momentarily stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Ling Mo had already pulled Shuhan to the side. He felt a tightness around his waist and was dragged along too.
âQuick, get down,â Ling Mo said swiftly.
Yuwen Xuan was about to ask a question when he heard the sound again.
âCre-eakâŚâ
And compared to before, the sound was clearly closerâŚ
Something was approaching!
It was evident that Ling Mo had sensed somethingâŚ
âCre-eakâŚâ
As they exchanged brief words, the frequency of the âcreakâ sound began to increase, and it was getting closer⌠If one were to imagine based solely on the sound, it was as if someone was speeding up, quickly approaching the three hiding there⌠And they, crouching under the cover of the black fog, might not be hidden at allâŚ
But as Shuhan had mentioned earlier, the black fog here was incredibly dense, and combined with the open space, the sounds they heard carried a slight echo, making it possible to discern the general direction but too difficult to pinpoint the exact locationâŚ
Overall, the environment was unfavorable for them. However, on the bright side, the approaching entity might not necessarily be targeting themâŚ
âIs it footsteps?â Ling Mo speculated, frowning.
From the speed at which the sound was amplifying, it was clear that whatever it was would soon be upon themâŚ
âAh!â
But no one expected a sudden scream to pierce the airâŚ
And the scream clearly carried a strong sense of fear⌠It couldnât have been from those Monsters. They were incapable of feeling any fear.
âCreak!â
The footsteps stopped abruptly after the scream, but soon resumed, this time receding into the distance.
âWhat the heck!â
Ling Mo quickly snapped out of his shock and pulled Xu Shuhan to her feet.
âWhat happened?â Yuwen Xuan, sensing Ling Moâs movement through the change in the Tentacleâs grip, stood up and couldnât help but ask.
âI have no ideaâŚâ Xu Shuhan shook her head, still shaken. The change had happened so fast, she hadnât seen anything.
Ling Mo whispered, âWhatever it is⌠itâs an opportunity!â
âYou mean⌠we should follow it?â Xu Shuhan asked.
Hearing footsteps in a place like this was eerie enough⌠and now there was a scream too, yet he still wanted to go?
âExactly.â Ling Mo nodded, adding, âYou and Mad Xuan can wait here if you want.â
âNo way!â
âIâm not staying!â
Xu Shuhan and Yuwen Xuan refused in unison.
âI have to go!â Yuwen Xuan protested, âItâs so thrillingâŚâ
âThrilling? Can you be normal for once?â
âHahaha⌠sorryâŚâ
Xu Shuhan, her voice tense, said, âIâm really scared, but⌠but I still want to go. I know why you want to go⌠I also⌠I also want to learn more, after all, IâŚâ ášĂ˘âĂĐĐđ¨
At this point, she probably felt awkward herself⌠but to show her determination, she forced herself to add, âAnyway, I can help. Fear⌠is just temporary, I wonât hold you back.â
âUh⌠alright. Donât worry, if things go south, weâll retreat.â Ling Mo said, then suddenly spoke softly, âUh, Host XuâŚâ
âIâm going!â Xu Shuhan replied quickly.
âI know⌠but, arenât you holding on a bit too tightâŚâ Ling Mo said awkwardly. It was hard for him to bring this upâŚ
In fact, he was already being quite tactful⌠Xu Shuhan wasnât just holding on tight, she was practically wrapped around him. Besides clinging tightly to Ling Moâs Arm, her long legs were also entwined around his. Coupled with the formidable strength she possessed as a Zombie, Ling Mo could feel his Arm being squeezed⌠truly lethal curvesâŚ
âHuh?⌠Ah!â Xu Shuhan glanced down, realized, and quickly let go, jumping back.
She was utterly embarrassed at this moment⌠Just moments ago, she had confidently declared she wouldnât hold anyone back, yet here she was, her words saying one thing while her body did quite another!
And the worst part was⌠she still had to hold onto Ling Moâs wrist to lead the wayâŚ
So, with her face burning red with embarrassment, Xu Shuhan reluctantly reached out her hand once more to grab Ling MoâŚ
âLetâs go!â Ling Mo, however, seemed completely oblivious to Xu Shuhanâs inner turmoil. His attention was entirely focused on the darkness aheadâŚ
Yuwen Xuan was equally excited, though his emotions were all expressed through his words: âYou guys noticed it too, right? That sound is really suspicious! Itâs not a Monster, but it canât be human either⌠Statistically speaking, I think that sound is most likely made by one of those Monsters capable of transformation. But then, whatâs with those footsteps? If it had discovered us, itâŚâ
âThatâs what I donât understand either,â Ling Mo said in a low voice as he ran. âIf that sound was meant to lure us, then the footsteps donât make sense. I think itâs possible that the sound and the footsteps arenât from the same source⌠soâŚâ
âSo this is an opportunityâŚâ Yuwen Xuan immediately understood.
Xu Shuhan also caught on. They had been on the defensive just moments ago, but now they were following behind, taking the initiativeâŚ
Yet for some reason, whenever she thought of that sound, Xu Shuhan couldnât shake a feeling of discomfort deep in her heartâŚ
âLing Mo, I thinkâŚâ
âAh!â
Another scream pierced the air, and this time, it was almost a shriek of agonyâŚ
