Just as the massive gate slowly opened before them and Chu Han and Gao Shaohui were about to step through, a piercing howl suddenly rang out from behind them!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Heavy footsteps, so weighty that they seemed to make the earth tremble, approached from afar, nearly deafening everyone.
The instant the sound rang out, the people pulling the iron chains to open the gate immediately stopped. With astonishing speed, they began pulling in the opposite direction, trying to shut the gate. Dense sweat instantly beaded across their foreheads, and their eyes were filled with terror.
"Quick! Squeeze through the gap! The gate's closing!" The hundred men who had previously pointed their guns at Chu Han and Gao Shaohui shouted from above, panic written across their faces.
