"How could this happen?"
The woman, who had already climbed halfway up the stairs, turned back at the sound. In an instant, her soul nearly flew out of her body.
Daring not to look any longer, she hurriedly scrambled upward and quickly left this underground space, which had already been invaded by the unknown supernatural.
There were still more than ten meters of stairs, but she climbed them in just two or three seconds.
Even as a Peak Second Order Awakened, her body had been enhanced by supernatural forces and was no longer like that of a normal person, but this speed was still somewhat exaggerated.
Thus, escape was instinctive.
Driven by instinct, they could unleash their greatest potential.
Although Awakened had grown less fearful of Vicious Ghosts, their fear of death had not completely disappeared.
"Bang!"
Soon, the sound of an iron door closing rang out.
Inside the entire underground space, aside from Jiang Qiao, who still stood where he was, there was not a single living person left. Only a Slender Man formed from water stains continued swaying nearby.
Most of the water in the bronze basin had spilled out, leaving only a shallow layer of Black Water pooled at the bottom.
The bamboo stick that had initially fallen inside had vanished without a trace. Instead, a cold, sinister wind kept pouring out of the water, whistling through the space. After listening to it for a long time, the sound faintly resembled a woman's sobs.
Besides that,
the connection between the bronze basin and the village seemingly located on Golden Rooster Mountain had not weakened. On the contrary, it was continuously growing stronger. Apart from the ghostly shadow on the ground, several bizarre figures also began slowly crawling out of the bronze basin.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
