Lin Chen looked up and saw that the walls around him were crawling with creatures resembling lizards. Their bodies were blood-red, and their appearance was incredibly grotesque.
Jin Si had already lost all of his earlier composure and turned around to flee.
"Master, run quickly! These things are not something you can provoke," Xiao Shuai urgently warned.
"Xiao Shuai, have you found the poem we're looking for?" Lin Chen asked anxiously.
"Master, according to my scan, there's a secret chamber next door. The box should be inside," Xiao Shuai replied.
At that moment, the lizards were already beginning to stir. Lin Chen said to the others, "Now I'll count to three. Everyone, run together immediately. Remember, do not look back, just keep running forward."
"One, two, three—run!"
As Lin Chen charged toward the exit, the others bolted toward the temple's outer doors. However, Lin Chen, squinting slightly, observed the horde of lizards rushing toward him.
