After leaving the ward, they ignored the sounds coming from other rooms. Under Chu Feng's lead, the pair headed straight for the stairs.
BANG!
Just as Chu Feng set foot in the stairwell, a Flame Barrier suddenly appeared, blasting him back.
"Chu! Are you alright?" Taran, following behind, watched in shock as Chu Feng flew past her. She quickly ran to his side and helped him up.
"Cough, cough. It's nothing serious!" Chu Feng, struck by the sudden force, felt a tightness in his chest, but after a few coughs, he felt considerably better.
Slowly walking to the edge of the stairwell, Chu Feng cautiously reached out. At the boundary between the corridor and the stairwell, a Flame Barrier instantly materialized, blocking his hand.
"Flames from Hell?" Seeing the flames before him, thick with the smell of sulfur, Chu Feng immediately guessed their origin.
