“Watch out!”

The moment she stepped out, Ye Feng sensed the danger but it was too late.

Lan Xingyue had already stepped on it.

The stone brick immediately flipped down, and her body quickly fell.

“Ah…”

Lan Xingyue screamed, but she could no longer control her body.

Ye Feng was caught off guard, he was dragged forward by her sinking and he was about to fall in as well.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the strength under his feet exploded and he nailed himself firmly onto the stone brick.

At the same time, he pulled hard with his wrist and finally stopped Lan Xingyue from falling.

Lan Xingyue heaved a sigh of relief and looked down.

The bottom of the hole was covered with sharp knives.

Once a person fell, they would die.

She immediately felt her scalp go numb seeing these sharp knives.

If not for Ye Feng holding her back, she would have already become a corpse.

“Are you alright?”

Ye Feng pulled Lan Xingyue out of the tunnel and asked with concern.

“I… I didn’t… It’s fine…”

Lan Xingyue’s pretty face was pale with fright, and her body was still trembling. It was obvious that she was really frightened.

Both of her hands grabbed Ye Feng tightly as if she were holding onto a life-saving straw.

Ye Feng looked at her, it was completely the appearance of a frightened little girl.

He couldn’t tell for a moment whether she was really frightened or just pretending.

He even suspected that she had deliberately stepped on the mechanism just now to drag him down to be buried with her.

Although it was a little too unreasonable to think so.

However, he was never stingy with speculating the enemy’s intentions with the greatest malice.

With the madness of that mysterious organization, they would definitely do anything to eliminate him. He had to be careful.

At the same time, Xu Jingxin and the others finally let out a long sigh of relief.

At that moment, their hearts were in their throats, they thought that Ye Feng had also fallen down.

They did not care about Lan Xingyue’s life or death, they only cared about Ye Feng’s safety.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm in the end.

“Ye Feng, be careful, if you can’t do it, then retreat.” Fuuma Jianwu hurriedly shouted at Ye Feng, her voice was trembling.

Ye Feng turned around and waved at them. “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

Then, he turned back to look at the stone bricks in front of him and couldn’t help but praise, “The person who designed this mechanism is a genius. He actually made use of people’s paralyzed mentality to set up all the mechanisms on the last row of bricks.”

Lan Xingyue nodded in agreement. “Yes, I was just thinking out of habit. I felt that one of the three stone bricks in front of me had to be solid, so I did not think too much about it. If it weren’t for you, I might have already died.”

When she said this, she looked at Ye Feng with complicated emotions.

“It’s not that you might have already died. You’d have died. Do you think you are invulnerable? If you fall in there, can you still survive?” Ye Feng’s tone was filled with reproach.

However, for some reason, Lan Xingyue enjoyed her reproachful tone. She was more or less a masochist.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t tell me you can’t help but fall in love with me because I saved you?” Ye Feng saw that she was staring at him, he could not help but tease her.

Lan Xingyue hurriedly looked away and changed the topic. “The last row is full of traps. How are we going to get through?”

Ye Feng sighed. “What else can we do? We can only jump over.”

“That stone brick is at least two meters across. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to jump…”

Before Lan Xingyue could finish speaking, Ye Feng jumped over the two-meter-wide stone brick and landed on the stone platform opposite.

“Didn’t I get here already? Come on.” Ye Feng stood opposite her with a smile, waving at her.

Lan Xingyue smiled bitterly. “I’m afraid I can’t jump over.”

“Alright, I’ll come back to pick you up.”

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he jumped onto the brick where she stood.

Normally speaking, after jumping such a long distance, one’s body would definitely be pushed forward by inertia.

But Ye Feng’s feet were like nails, they were firmly nailed to the brick, and he did not budge at all.

Lan Xingyue was flabbergasted. “Your physique is really extraordinary.”

“It’s nothing. As long as you have feet.” Ye Feng was very humble, he turned his back to her. “Come up.”

“Ah?” Lan Xingyue didn’t understand what he meant.

“Lie on my back, I’ll carry you and jump over.”

“This… Can you jump over with someone on your back?”

Lan Xingyue hesitated.

Jumping two meters with a person on his back was a little exaggerated.

“Let’s give it a try. At most, we’ll fall into the trap together and die together.” Ye Feng did not forget to joke at this time.

However, Lan Xingyue could not smile at all. She was still hesitating on the spot.

“Hurry up, they are still waiting behind us. Don’t waste too much time.” Ye Feng could only urge her.

Lan Xingyue had no choice but to lie on his back.

“Ah…”

Ye Feng deliberately pretended to have lost his footing and fell, scaring Lan Xingyue until she screamed again.

As she screamed, Ye Feng had already jumped over.

When she landed on the ground, she was still in shock. She patted Ye Feng angrily. “Are you trying to scare me to death?”

Ye Feng saw her panicked expression, but he was sneering in his heart.

She continued to pretend.

If it was a person who had undergone genetic modification, wouldn’t it be easy for her to jump over a two-meter-wide stone brick?

How could she be so scared?

All in all, Lan Xingyue’s current performance was all faked in his eyes.

The two of them successfully passed through the tunnel and cleared the path for the people behind them.

Xu Jingxin and the others also began to pass through the tunnel.

When they came to the last stone brick, Ah Can and the four members of the Sky Wolf team threw their bags over and jumped over easily.

However, Xu Jingxin and Fuuma Jianwu were trapped there.

Actually, Fuuma Jianwu could have easily gotten over it, but she had to pretend to be weak since she was disguised as Zhuang Xiaoqiao.

Ye Feng could only take on the responsibility of transporting them, he also let the two girls feel the thrill of flying.

“I didn’t expect that entering the tunnel would be so scary. Who knows how many traps there are behind this.” Ah Can looked at the path they took and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Fortunately, everyone got here safely. As long as we are careful, there should be no problem.”

Even though Ye Feng was a little nervous, he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

He was the backbone of this expedition team. If even he was panicking, how could the others live?

“That’s true. As long as we follow Mr. Ye, no one will be in danger.” Ah Can was always looking for opportunities to flatter him.
