Hearing this, Lin Ke also noticed something unusual about the stone door.
Water came gurgling out from behind it.
"Watch out!"
Lin Ke instinctively summoned the Amethyst Longhorn Beetle insect tide and shielded Nan Shang behind him.
Yet the flowing water showed no sign of stopping and continued to surge.
It soon chased after them, but torrents of water began flowing from the other end of the corridor as well.
Retreating with Nan Shang, Lin Ke activated his Yang Pupil to examine the liquid on the ground.
The liquid looked no different from water, yet it gave off a faint stench that felt familiar to him.
Looking again at the only exit from the entire space, he saw that the stone door remained stuck in place, merely bobbing up and down slightly, as though something had jammed it.
Nan Shang and Lin Ke were now both standing in the middle of the corridor.
The liquid pressed closer and closer, about to touch them, when, at that critical instant-
Lin Ke suddenly remembered that the stench resembled marsh gas, so he tossed Mystic Flame into the flowing water.
Boom...
In an instant, fire shot skyward, and blazing flames engulfed the entire corridor, making it look like a passage leading to Purgatory.
The wave of heat rushing toward him made Lin Ke hold his robe in front of himself and arrange the Amethyst Longhorn Beetles on either side.
Faint explosions sounded throughout the space. Once the firelight subsided a little, the two looked ahead and behind them.
They discovered that the raging flames had already sealed off their escape routes on both sides.
But both stone doors had sprung upward like springs with a sudden whoosh.
At the sight, Lin Ke raised his palm slightly, intending to activate his wind and snow
