The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1161: Eyes in the Shadows

At this moment, Chen Qingqing suddenly felt something moving slowly on her leg. She instinctively screamed, her leg kicking out involuntarily.

”What’s wrong?” Su Changfeng looked over with a face full of confusion, naturally unable to see anything.

”Brother Changfeng, I think there’s something on my leg.” Chen Qingqing’s voice trembled with fear. After all, she’s a young lady, naturally afraid of snakes and insects.

However, the environment here was quite dark, so dark that one couldn’t see their fingers in front of their face. Su Changfeng said regretfully, ”Had I known it would be this dark in here, I would have brought a flashlight!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several glaring beams of light came into view, lighting up the previously pitch-black cave.

Upon seeing the scene in front of her clearly, Chen Qingqing barely held back a scream.

”Brother Changfeng, these, these seem like white bones.” Chen Qingqing unconsciously grabbed Su Changfeng’s arm.

Su Changfeng looked at the scene before him, his expression also not very good. These bones were likely those who had previously entered the Infinite Cave. So many skeletons meant they met their end as soon as they entered. What kind of danger could have caused so many people to die right away?

”Be careful.” Su Changfeng said with a heavy expression, shielding Chen Qingqing behind him.

”Just now, I felt something crawl onto my leg. Could it be, could it be that thing?” Chen Qingqing looked around defensively.

Su Changfeng nodded. He still hadn’t seen what that thing was, so he couldn’t be sure.

”The Infinite Cave lives up to its name. Just upon entering, there’s such danger. I now finally understand what Yang Junming meant. What he said about just running must be this.” Su Changfeng said in a deep voice.

He truly understood the real meaning of ’just run,’ as the bones lying before them clearly showed that this was not a place to stay.

”Let’s hurry up and leave.” Su Changfeng said, unsure of what awaited them ahead, but the evidence in front of him showed that staying would only lead to more danger. Even though Chen Qingqing’s condition hadn’t fully adjusted to this place, they couldn’t linger any longer.

Chen Qingqing nodded, following Su Changfeng forward.

However, they didn’t notice that among the piles of bones beneath their feet, a strange-looking small snake, resembling white jade, was slithering.

The small snake agilely followed Su Changfeng’s steps, but it bore no trace of hostility.

Outside the Infinite Cave.

Elder Wu had already returned to Shangyun Pavilion, his expression very serious.

”Elder Wu, since things have reached this point, you might as well relax.” Yang Junming said, looking at Elder Wu.

Indeed, Su Changfeng had already entered the Infinite Cave. No matter how worried he was, it wouldn’t help. However, despite these words, Elder Wu was only human, and such concern couldn’t disappear in a few words.

”Now I can only hope they don’t encounter the White Jade Python, or else it would be a dead end.” Elder Wu said worriedly.

At the mention of the White Jade Python, Yang Junming’s expression changed drastically. Having undergone the Infinite Cave test, he naturally knew what the White Jade Python meant. It was the most dangerous creature left within the Infinite Cave from the Outer Domain, probably the most terrifying thing within the entire cave.

”It seems most people died near the entrance. As we move along, the bones gradually decrease. We should have passed the most dangerous area.” Inside the Infinite Cave, Su Changfeng said to Chen Qingqing, trying to comfort her and ease her tension.

However, it was indeed the case, as the bones visibly diminished, proving that the entrance was the toughest part.

By now, Chen Qingqing’s expression was much better, although the unknown dangers of the Infinite Cave still unsettled her, but it was much improved.

”Brother Changfeng, what is this place? I keep feeling like something is secretly watching us.” Chen Qingqing said.

Su Changfeng pressed his lips together. He felt the same way. Initially thinking it might be a misperception, but since Chen Qingqing also felt it, it suggested that besides them, there were other living things in the Infinite Cave.

”Be careful. Yang Junming told me beforehand, no matter what, just run. As long as we can run out, we’ve passed the test.” Su Changfeng advised.

Chen Qingqing nodded.

Just as they planned to go deeper, a heavy breathing sound reached their ears, causing them to halt in their tracks, not daring to move.

Following the direction of the breathing sound, ahead was still endless darkness, making it impossible to see what exactly it was, but clearly the breathing sound was slowly approaching.

Su Changfeng reached out, pulling Chen Qingqing behind him. At this moment, Chen Qingqing appeared calm. She understood that in the face of real danger, fear would only be a hindrance. She needed to be a support to Su Changfeng, not a burden. Only then could they turn danger into safety.

Gradually, something appeared in front of Su Changfeng. With Chen Qingqing striving to maintain composure, even the prepared Su Changfeng felt a bit disoriented.

In front of them stood a creature as tall as two people, resembling a gorilla. It snarled, clapping its heavy hands as if trying to intimidate them.

The gorilla in front of them was not like the ones Su Changfeng had seen in zoos. Its body hair seemed like steel needles, distinct and clearly, one could imagine the damage it could inflict.

A pair of crimson eyes glared at Su Changfeng and them. Moreover, Su Changfeng noticed something akin to a seal on its forehead, looking strange and with an unknown meaning.

”Brother Changfeng, this, is this a gorilla? It seems a bit different.” Chen Qingqing said.

”Probably not an ordinary gorilla. What’s the secret of Tuo Shi? What are all these strange things!” Su Changfeng felt like there was a mist in front of him, and beyond that mist was the real face of Tuo Shi. The secret-laden Tuo Shi was really provoking his curiosity.

The gorilla, with its special seal, was clearly not an Earth species. How had it appeared in Tuo Shi, and still as a part of Tuo Shi’s test? What secret was hidden behind all this?

At this point, the ape’s breathing grew heavier, and if Su Changfeng’s guess was right, it was about to attack soon.

Faced with such a lethally powerful creature, Su Changfeng had to set aside his speculations, focusing all his attention on dealing with the imminent danger.

”You step aside and be careful.” Su Changfeng said to Chen Qingqing.
