The sudden silence made one's heart palpitate.
Lin Ran's muscles instantly tensed up, and he maintained the posture of cutting the mycelium. He watched as a dark red drop of blood seeped out of the wound on Xiao Huai's finger and pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds around him.
The first thing he heard was Huo Qiyun's clearly rapid breathing, followed by the buzzing sound of the fire sword energy circling in the air and the rustling sound of billions of black insects flapping their wings…
After Lin Ran deliberately filtered out these sounds, a strange sound that he had never heard before began to appear.
The sound was so soft that Lin Ran had to hold his breath to hear it. It was gurgling somewhere, like the sound of running water. At the same time, it was intermittent like breathing, as if it carried a certain rhythm.
