My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1316: The Dangerous Tunnel

Then it seems, this tunnel less than twenty meters long must be suspicious.

Tan Xianglan watched Chen Tianlong stop his steps and followed suit, as she had clearly felt during this time that Chen Tianlong was formidable. As long as she followed him, she felt very reassured.

Chen Tianlong looked around, thinking about whether there might be some small stones to throw ahead for probing, but unexpectedly, it was bare all around, not even a single small stone to be seen.

Thus, Chen Tianlong could only say to Tan Xianglan behind him, "Xianglan, I’ll go ahead and take a look. You stay here and wait for me. No matter what, don’t move."

"Mm, okay." Tan Xianglan smiled sweetly, and seeing Chen Tianlong caring about her like this, felt a warmth in her heart.

Without delay, Chen Tianlong stepped directly into the twenty-meter-long area. At first, nothing happened, but after taking four or five steps, suddenly his chest started feeling somewhat suffocated, followed by a dull ache.

He knew there must be danger ahead, so hurried toward retreating, but it was too late.

Suddenly numerous holes opened up on the walls on both sides, and from these holes, some darts began shooting out. Chen Tianlong was alarmed; these hidden weapons were extremely sharp, some cone-shaped, some sword-shaped. Luckily, they weren’t launched simultaneously; otherwise, he could have ended up like a porcupine.

Since evading was necessary, Chen Tianlong decided to head forward instead of turning back because he must pass here, so he might as well go through in one breath.

After three or four backward flips, the hidden weapons zone was passed. But just when he felt fortunate, he suddenly noticed the walls on both sides starting to rapidly clamp toward the middle, and it wasn’t just walls; numerous sharp knives were extending from them.

Chen Tianlong was shocked; spikes upfront, hidden weapons behind, under such circumstances, he truly didn’t know what to do. In a flash, the two walls closed in. Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, the two walls parted again.

Catching sight of this, Chen Tianlong was instantly delighted; evidently, they weren’t trapped to death, so as long as Tan Xianglan passed the previous checkpoint, Chen Tianlong was confident in passing this one.

"Xianglan, do you dare to come over here, there are hidden weapons?" Chen Tianlong couldn’t let Tan Xianglan take risks, so if she wasn’t willing, Chen Tianlong would enter alone to find the Pure Energy Stone.

"I dare!" Tan Xianglan gritted her teeth and said.

Looking at her firm gaze, Chen Tianlong nodded, he had already tested it earlier.

Although there were many hidden weapons, they were not fired all at once. With Tan Xianglan’s fifth-level strength, dodging these hidden weapons shouldn’t be a problem, at least not getting hit on vital parts.

Tan Xianglan stepped into the hidden weapons zone, and indeed, the hidden weapons immediately activated, with many darts and arrows flying out from inside. However, Tan Xianglan’s Lightweight Skill was remarkable; before long, she reached Chen Tianlong’s side.

Seeing Tan Xianglan unscathed, Chen Tianlong’s mind was at ease. Yet, this next checkpoint wasn’t simple, and most importantly, after passing this checkpoint, there was still a three or four-meter tunnel ahead, unknown whether it hid mechanisms.

"Xianglan, are you ready? Hold onto me tightly later, I’ll take you through."

The reason Chen Tianlong did this was that he knew, with Tan Xianglan’s speed, she couldn’t pass through this ten-meter spiked wall, but his Ghost Shadow Flash surely could. If he exerted his strength fully, considering the previous wall closing speed, it should be feasible.

"Mm, I got it."

Though she said it, holding onto Chen Tianlong felt somewhat shy.

Tan Xianglan took a deep breath and jumped into Chen Tianlong’s arms, for walking only a princess carry would suffice. She gently hugged Chen Tianlong’s neck, looking at his handsome face, somewhat dry lips, her small mouth eager to lean in.

"Hold on tight, alright."

Chen Tianlong did not notice Tan Xianglan’s actions, only seeing her ready, took a deep breath, and activated his Cultivation Technique.

Chen Tianlong’s right foot slightly stepped back, assumed a running stance, and suddenly he moved.

"Whoosh"

Like a gust of wind, Chen Tianlong rushed in, but the walls suddenly accelerated, seemingly sensing someone trying to cross.

Chen Tianlong broke out in a cold sweat, as the walls were about to hit their bodies. Chen Tianlong had no choice but to exert more, speeding up further.

"Hoo...."

Finally, the two passed through just as the walls closed.

However, just as the two felt relieved, Chen Tianlong suddenly sensed some vibration underfoot, instantly realizing something was wrong, and hurriedly thought to jump. It was too late though, as the three or four meters ahead all collapsed, how could they possibly escape.

The two fell freely just like that, but what kind of place was this, why did it seem like a bottomless pit, all dim and dark, continuously descending in a weightless state.

"Xianglan, if you see the ground approaching, remember to use Powerful Qi to protect us, then hold onto me, I have a way."

"Mm, understood."

The whistling of the wind was audible, were it not for Chen Tianlong speaking directly into her ear, Tan Xianglan wouldn’t hear him.

The falling speed was increasing, knowing that free-fall acceleration was inherently fast; in this situation, if they crashed directly, even with Powerful Qi protection, they’d be severely injured.

Chen Tianlong wouldn’t mind, as he could heal himself, but Tan Xianglan? Chen Tianlong wasn’t yet so skilled to heal a severely wounded person, thus had no assurance.

"By the way, Xianglan, do you have any other weapons on you?" Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered, previously Tan Xianglan seemed to have a dagger. If so, they could use it to stab into the pit wall to slow their descent.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong’s palm started condensing a Powerful Qi Bomb, though it was a very risky action. The descent speed was extremely fast; if the timing with the Powerful Qi Bomb was off, they’d be the ones blasted instead.

"Yes, it’s on me, but I don’t dare let go. Chen Tianlong, you have to reach for it, there’s a hidden pocket on my chest." Tan Xianglan said this, feeling awkward, for when Chen Tianlong searched, wouldn’t he touch that area?

"Uh, okay, I’ll find it." However, Tan Xianglan had no time to regret, as she already felt Chen Tianlong’s warm hand reaching toward her chest.

Indeed, as Tan Xianglan suspected, Chen Tianlong grabbed her undergarment, instantly making Tan Xianglan blush. Chen Tianlong also realized it wasn’t right because it felt great, soft and warm, very comfortable.

As a result, Chen Tianlong immediately understood, hurriedly embarrassed, intentionally searching elsewhere.

"Chen Tianlong, a little to the left." To avoid ongoing embarrassment and not knowing when this pit would end, the two could still be embarrassed when crashing down, unable to even know how they died.
