NOVEL NEXT Chapter 58: Xue Linglong is carelessly injured
Shen Lang calmly rolled sideways and skillfully avoided the attack of the monster.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up again, jumped into the air, held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and stabbed hard at the vital part of the monster.
The monster's huge body fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
Shen Lang showed no mercy and swung his sword again. After several consecutive blows, blood spurted out from the vital points of the monster, dyeing the surrounding land red.
It twisted painfully on the ground a few times, its limbs twitching constantly, and the vitality in its eyes gradually disappeared.
In the end, the Warcraft completely stopped moving, and its huge body lay there motionless.
Shen Lang was breathing heavily, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his hair was messy and stuck to his forehead.
After Shen Lang killed the monster, he hurriedly came to Xue Linglong to check her injuries.
I saw a deep wound on the bloody arm, and blood kept pouring out.
Shen Lang was extremely anxious. He quickly took out a bottle of healing elixir from his arms and fed Xue Linglong to drink it.
Then, he tore off a corner of his clothes and carefully bandaged Xue Linglong's wound.
Xue Linglong looked at Shen Lang's nervous and concerned look, and couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in her heart.
She said softly: "I'm fine, this injury is nothing."
Shen Lang said with a serious face: "The attacks of monsters usually contain evil spirits and should not be taken lightly."
Xue Linglong looked at Shen Lang, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"Shen Lang, your performance this time really shocked me." Xue Linglong said with emotion, "The strength of this monster is far superior to yours. It's incredible that you can leapfrog and kill it."
Shen Lang panted slightly and responded: "Elder, the situation was critical at that time. I didn't think much about it. I just thought about defeating it."
Xue Linglong nodded and said: "This level of ability and courage to fight beyond the next level is really rare. Given time, you will definitely be able to shine in the martial arts."
Shen Lang wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Thank you, elder. If you hadn't contained the monster earlier, I would have had a hard time finding a chance to win."
Xue Linglong smiled and said: "But in the end, being able to kill it depends on your strength and determination."
Afterwards, the two took a short rest and continued to move deeper into the woods to find out the truth about the missing person case.
The deeper they walked, the quieter the woods became, as if even the chirping of insects had disappeared, and only their footsteps echoed in the silence.
Shen Lang observed the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any strange movement.
Xue Linglong relied on her rich experience to pay attention to the subtle clues in the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, Shen Lang found some messy footprints on the ground in front of him, as well as traces of dragging heavy objects.
"Elder, look here." Shen Lang pointed at the traces and said.
Xue Linglong stepped forward to take a closer look, and said solemnly: "It seems we are not far from the truth."
They continued to move forward along these traces, and not long after, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of them.
The door of the temple was closed, but there was a strange smell coming from inside.
Shen Lang clenched the sword in his hand and was about to step forward and open the door, but Xue Linglong stopped him.
"Be careful of fraud, observe it first." Xue Linglong said in a low voice.
At this moment, the door of the temple slowly opened and a villager walked out.
Shen Lang and Xue Linglong were both stunned.
When the villager saw them, he said excitedly: "Are you here to save us? After the death of the monster, the barrier here disappeared, and we ran out secretly."
Shen Lang asked: "Is there anyone else inside? What happened?"
The villagers quickly said: "There are still many people. We were caught here and we don't know why."
Xue Linglong said: "Go in and take a look first."
They walked into the temple and saw that the villagers inside all looked haggard and frightened.
Xue Linglong reassured: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we will take you out."
Shen Lang immediately took action and organized the villagers to go out in an orderly manner.
Xue Linglong was clearing the way ahead, alert to possible dangers.
Under their escort, the villagers walked out of the temple one after another.
Although the atmosphere was tense along the way, fortunately, no other obstacles were encountered.
Finally, everyone left the gloomy woods and came to a safe place.
The villagers expressed their gratitude to Shen Lang and Xue Linglong.
"Thank you two heroes for saving my life!" An old man took the lead and said.
Shen Lang responded with a smile: "This is what we should do."
Seeing that the villagers were safe and sound, Xue Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, please go home quickly. Be careful in the future." Xue Linglong said.
The villagers nodded and dispersed.
Afterwards, Shen Lang and Xue Linglong returned to the sect smoothly and reported the details of the mission to the leader.
The leader was very satisfied with their performance, especially Shen Lang's bravery and wit during the mission.
Everyone who passed the first level gathered together again.
Xue Lingling stood in front of everyone with a serious expression.
"There is a new mission this time. As a disciple, I have the right to choose my partner first."
Xue Lingling glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at Shen Lang, "Shen Lang, I choose you to go down the mountain with me."
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to listen to Senior Sister's orders."
Among the crowd, Meng Ran's face instantly turned gloomy. He glared at Shen Lang fiercely, his heart filled with jealousy.
Other disciples also whispered to each other, complaining in a low voice that they were not selected.
"Why is it Shen Lang? How am I inferior to him?" Meng Ran couldn't help but say.
Xue Lingling didn't say much, and took Shen Lang to walk down the mountain.
Along the way, Xue Lingling looked solemn, and Shen Lang couldn't help asking: "Senior sister, what is this mission about?"
Xue Lingling glanced at him and said slowly: "According to reliable information, strange phenomena have appeared in the village down the mountain recently. Many villagers will sleepwalk for no reason at night. We have to find out the reason."
Shen Lang frowned: "This is a strange thing I have never heard of. Is there any evil spirit at work?"
Xue Lingling nodded: "It's possible, so we must be careful on this trip."
The two quickened their pace and headed towards the direction of the village.
After arriving at the village, they found that the village was particularly quiet at night, and only a few families still had lights on.
Xue Lingling and Shen Lang decided to find a place to hide and observe the movements of the villagers.
In the middle of the night, some villagers walked out of their homes one after another, their eyes dull, and walked in one direction like zombies.
Xue Lingling and Shen Lang followed quietly and came to an abandoned temple near the village.
There was a strange atmosphere in the temple, and the villagers entered one after another.
