NOVEL NEXT Chapter 71 Everyone gets separated
The four of them had no time to react before they were blown away by this huge force.
Shen Lang felt his eyes go dark, and his body seemed to have lost control. He hit a big tree heavily and then bounced to the ground.
Xue Lingling, Wang Tingyi and Tuoba Moyu were also thrown in different directions and disappeared into the diffuse smoke.
When Shen Lang woke up, he found that his companions were gone and surrounded by thick fog.
He struggled to stand up, feeling sore all over his body and dizzy in his head.
Shen Lang shook his head to wake himself up, and then shouted loudly: "Xue Lingling! Xue Mengya! Wang Tingyi!"
However, the only response he received was the echo of his own voice, which seemed particularly desolate in this silent and strange forest.
Shen Lang calmed down and began to walk cautiously in one direction, observing his surroundings vigilantly as he walked.
The fog was so thick that he could hardly see the road under his feet, and every step he took seemed to be stepping into an unknown abyss.
Suddenly, Shen Lang heard a slight sound of footsteps. He immediately stopped, clenched the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Who is it?"
However, apart from the faint sound of footsteps, there was no other movement.
Shen Lang's heartbeat became faster and faster, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He continued to walk forward, feeling increasingly anxious, wondering where his companions were and whether they were okay.
As Shen Lang walked, he carefully paid attention to the movements around him, hoping to find some clues left by his companions.
But except for the thick fog and the occasional strange noise, there was nothing.
While walking, Shen Lang came to the edge of a cliff. He was about to stop, but he almost lost his footing because of the fog.
He took a few steps back with lingering fear, frowning, thinking about where to go next.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew away some of the fog. Shen Lang vaguely saw a piece of clothing on the ground not far ahead. He quickly ran over and found that it was the fabric of Xue Lingling's clothing.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Shen Lang's heart, and he quickened his pace in this direction.
But after walking for a while, Xue Lingling was still not seen.
Shen Lang's mood became heavy again.
Shen Lang sat under the big tree, exhausted and confused.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the tokens everyone had prepared before departure.
It is a special kind of jade pendant. As long as it is within a certain range, the jade pendants will react with each other.
Shen Lang quickly took out his jade pendant from his arms and saw a faint light flashing on the jade pendant. The light was pointing in the direction where Xue Lingling was.
Shen Lang cheered up, followed the guidance of the jade pendant's light, and moved forward step by step with difficulty.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Lang finally saw a vague figure.
He was so happy that he quickened his pace and rushed over. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Xue Lingling.
Xue Lingling also looked miserable, her clothes were damaged in many places and her hair was messy.
Seeing Shen Lang, tears filled her eyes: "Shen Lang!"
"I finally found you!" Shen Lang said happily.
Xue Lingling also looked tired and happy: "Fortunately, I have this token, otherwise I really don't know what to do. But Wang Tingyi and Mengya...
Shen Lang frowned: "I wonder what happened to them."
The two looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
Xue Lingling said: "We can't just wait like this, we must continue to search for their whereabouts."
Shen Lang nodded: "Yes, if we search carefully along the forest, we may be able to find some clues."
So, Shen Lang and Xue Lingling walked forward side by side, groping in the thick fog.
But no matter how they shouted or searched, there was no trace of Wang Tingyi and Tuoba Moyu.
Shen Lang's mood became heavier and heavier. He looked at the fog in front of him that was so thick that it could hardly be dissolved, and his heart was full of worry: "The fog is so thick, and we can't search blindly like this."
Xue Lingling frowned and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just give up on them."
Shen Lang pondered for a moment and said: "Let's see if we can find a higher place first. Maybe we can see further and find some clues."
The two walked along the rugged mountain road, carefully avoiding possible traps along the way.
Finally, they found a large protruding boulder.
Shen Lang took the lead in climbing up the boulder and looked far into the distance, but could see nothing but a vast expanse of white.
He shook his head helplessly and jumped down.
Xue Lingling asked eagerly: "How is it?"
Shen Lang sighed: "I still can't see anything. This fog seems to have enveloped the whole world."
Just when they felt desperate, Xue Lingling suddenly discovered a series of strange footprints on the ground.
She squatted down and observed carefully: "Shen Lang, look at these footprints, could they be left by them?"
Shen Lang leaned over and looked at the footprints. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "It's possible. Let's look in the direction of the footprints."
The two of them walked in the direction of the footprints.
However, not far away, Shen Lang and Xue Lingling met the four members of Zhao Kuangshan's team.
Zhao Kuangshan looked at them with a proud look on his face and mocked: "Oh, you two are the only two miserable guys, and you haven't been swallowed up by this secret realm?"
Shen Lang glared angrily and shouted: "Zhao Kuangshan, don't talk sarcastically here. Our companion has disappeared and we have no intention of entangled with you."
A person next to Zhao Kuangshan sneered: "Who knows if you lost your companions because of your own incompetence."
Xue Lingling's face turned red with anger: "Don't go too far!"
Zhao Kuangshan crossed his arms and said coldly: "Humph, this secret realm is not something you can just wander into. Why don't you obediently hand over your treasures? We may also consider helping you find a companion."
Shen Lang clenched his fists and said, "Delusion! Are you worthy enough?"
Before the other party answered, Xue Lingling saw the four of them tied together tightly, with disbelief on her face, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Kuangshan, you actually cheated! How could you be allowed to act so shamelessly in this secret realm!"
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangshan showed a sarcastic smile on his face and said disdainfully: "Xue Lingling, you are so ridiculously naive. How can there be absolute fairness in this world? Rules are just constraints set by the strong to the weak."
He didn't take Shen Lang seriously at all, and continued to taunt Xue Lingling: "You just stay aside and watch how I deal with Shen Lang. Hum, this is what you will get if you dare to go against me. He Shen Lang is just a liar. It’s a joke for a guy who doesn’t know what he’s capable of and thinks he can compete with me just by being brave!”
Shen Lang stared at Zhao Kuangshan with cold eyes, his hand tightened on the hilt of the sword, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
