Chapter 1998: Mysterious Dragon Hall
"Even so, we have no choice."
Qin Chen smiled bitterly.
They were truly unlucky to encounter such a situation.
"Never mind."
Shen Mirui took a deep breath.
She also knew there was no other way, and quickly walked toward the Dragon Hall.
The Dragon Hall had no doors, not even windows, so you could see part of the Dragon Hall’s interior from the outside.
At the entrance to the Dragon Hall, broken skeletons lay scattered, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
It could be inferred that no one had been here for a long time.
Thinking about it, this place had seen so many deaths, the fierce reputation must have already spread.
Only those unaware of the situation, like them, would mistakenly enter here.
The interior of the Dragon Hall was vast and empty, with a high ceiling. Due to the lack of doors and windows, it wasn’t dark inside, and everything seemed normal enough.
Qin Chen spread his telekinesis around, so if there were any dangers, they could be discovered in time.
There wasn’t anything on the first floor of the Dragon Hall. At the end and around a corner, there was a staircase.
After entering the Dragon Hall, Qin Chen could clearly feel that the pulling force had noticeably weakened.
Inside the Dragon Hall, he could move freely.
However, they couldn’t stay in the Dragon Hall forever, so they could only ascend, to find out what secrets the hall held.
Qin Chen walked in front.
After ascending to the second floor, the entire environment inside the Dragon Hall became slightly eerie.
The light dimmed.
Moreover, as soon as Qin Chen stepped onto the second floor, without even having time to look around, he heard a dragon roar.
This dragon roar was extremely sharp.
Especially in the relatively empty space, it was particularly jarring.
"Whoosh!"
Something unknown darted out from the second floor, lunging directly at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen was already on guard.
He didn’t wait for this thing to get close to him.
With powerful telekinesis, he directly and firmly restrained the thing, leaving it unable to move.
"What is this? A Dragon Soul?"
Shen Mirui looked at the ghostly white dragon in front of her, unsure of what it was.
"Something’s wrong."
Suddenly, Qin Chen felt an ominous premonition.
"Rumble."
Accompanied by the heavy sound echoing in the Dragon Hall.
Qin Chen saw one dragon soul after another rushing out from the second floor.
They were like a horde of malevolent ghosts, with wicked forms, eager to tear apart the three of them.
Qin Chen immediately used his telekinesis, conjuring a wall of telekinesis to block these vile ghosts.
But soon Qin Chen realized that because there were too many, he couldn’t hold them off.
Moreover, the number of dragon souls was still increasing!
The entire Dragon Hall was resonating with the hair-raising shrieks of these dragon souls.
Qin Chen’s face was grim as he glanced toward the stairs leading to the Third Level not far ahead and said, "Climb up."
"Up? Isn’t it down?"
"Everything above is unknown; we don’t know what dangers await."
Lin Songyun was somewhat puzzled.
Qin Chen said, "The area below is too open. Even if we go down, we’ll still be trapped in the Dragon Hall, like sitting ducks."
"These dragon souls are not very strong; we can handle them."
"But there are too many of them! They will wear us down to death if we don’t hurry, so we must climb up and find a place to hide."
In such an urgent moment, Qin Chen’s mind remained relatively calm.
"Qin Chen is right; let’s run up, quickly!"
Shen Mirui agreed with Qin Chen’s plan and was the first to run towards the stairs leading to the third level.
"Crash!"
At this moment, even though Qin Chen was a Mind Sovereign, he couldn’t withstand the increasing number of terrifying dragon souls.
The wall of telekinesis abruptly collapsed.
Countless dragon souls surged like a flood breaking through a dam, coming in force.
"Go!"
Qin Chen grabbed Lin Songyun, quickly rushing toward the third level’s staircase, sprinting madly.
This Dragon Hall was very tall.
Each level’s staircase was about a hundred meters high.
Of course, a hundred meters for Qin Chen and the others was just a moment’s span.
In contrast, because the stairs were relatively narrow, hardly wide enough for seven people to pass at once.
A large number of dragon souls were crowding onto the stairs, one after another falling, which provided Qin Chen and the others some time.
However, they would soon catch up.
After reaching the third level, Qin Chen and the others initially thought they could take a breath.
However, they immediately realized.
Qin Chen heard the ghost-like howling of the dragon souls.
The environment on the third floor was even darker.
These dragon souls, one by one, seemed to awaken, causing Qin Chen’s scalp to tingle.
More critically.
The entrance to the stairs leading to the Fourth Level was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it!"
Qin Chen cursed under his breath.
Fortunately, he was a Telekinesis Master!
He immediately spread his telekinesis throughout the entire third level of the Dragon Hall.
Soon, Qin Chen couldn’t help but swallow.
He saw countless dragon souls!
All these dragon souls were overlapping, hidden within the third level!
Crucially, because Qin Chen had released his telekinesis all at once, these dragon souls, which should have been awakened later, all stirred at once!
Their eyes opened, flashing with sharp white light, making Qin Chen’s face turn grim.
This was truly like stirring a hornet’s nest!
But at the same time, Qin Chen found the entrance to the Fourth Level.
He grabbed Lin Songyun and Shen Mirui: "Follow me!"
In this building, there were too many obstacles, making the Small Movement Technique unusable; Qin Chen directly used Shadowless Traceless, moving like a gust of wind.
The two women could see, shivering, as dragon souls were awakened all around.
Behind them, countless dragon souls still howled like evil spirits.
Crisis!
Urgency!
Tension!
After finding the stairs to the Fourth Level, Qin Chen immediately ascended.
"Rumble."
Qin Chen felt the entire Dragon Hall trembling.
According to his estimate, the number of dragon souls in this whole Dragon Hall must reach in the millions!
Millions!
With so many dragon souls, if forced to fight, they’d likely exhaust themselves to death!
Upon arriving at the Fourth Level, Qin Chen found that he didn’t know where the stairs to the Fifth Level were.
Qin Chen’s face immediately darkened!
He had no choice but to employ the same trick, using telekinesis to search the Fourth Level for the stairs.
But, the dragon souls on the Fourth Level would all be disturbed!
The dragon souls pursuing them would only increase in number!
Their situation would grow increasingly perilous!
But what else could Qin Chen do besides this?
"Find a place to take cover!"
Qin Chen looked at a stone gate to his right.
The stone gate was closed.
There was no telling what lay behind it.
Moreover, Qin Chen’s telekinesis couldn’t penetrate this stone gate.
"Never mind."
With a gritting of teeth, Qin Chen, seeing the flood of dragon souls about to pounce, pushed open the stone gate.
