NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77 Xue Mengya's Request for Help
If this is really Xue Mengya's request for help, they can't just die without saving him.
But what if it was a trap carefully designed by the enemy, wouldn't they have fallen into the trap themselves?
Shen Lang's hand clenched the sword unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion.
His heart beat like a drum, each beat heavy and rapid.
"Lingling, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange." Shen Lang lowered his voice and said.
Xue Lingling's face was as pale as paper, and her body was trembling slightly: "But, if my sister is really in danger..."
Her voice was crying, and her eyes were full of fear and worry, but her concern for her sister still made her want to move on.
"We have to be careful and retreat immediately if we see something is not right."
Shen Lang had a serious expression and looked at Xue Lingling firmly.
Xue Lingling bit her lip and nodded gently: "Okay, Shen Lang, I will listen to you."
They took cautious steps and slowly moved deeper into the valley.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of their slight footsteps and nervous breathing.
Suddenly, there was a "crunching" sound from the front, as if something heavy was moving slowly.
Xue Lingling subconsciously grabbed Shen Lang's clothes. Shen Lang stopped and made a silencing gesture.
The sound stopped as their footsteps stopped.
There was an eerie silence all around, making people feel even more unsure.
Shen Lang and Xue Lingling did not dare to express their anger and stared nervously at the dark corner ahead.
The two sides seem to be playing a psychological game. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.
Shen Lang was silently thinking in his heart, if there was really a danger, how to escape with the blood Lingling intact.
At this moment, Xue Lingling's mind was constantly filled with various terrifying scenes, and her heart was full of fear. However, in order not to affect Shen Lang, she tried hard not to show it.
At this moment, a breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness and the smell of blood.
Shen Lang's expression instantly became more solemn. He turned to look at Xue Lingling, his eyes full of vigilance.
Xue Lingling also noticed this unusual smell. She covered her mouth and nose, her stomach churning.
"The smell of blood...I'm afraid there is danger ahead."
Shen Lang lowered his voice and said.
Xue Lingling's voice was trembling: "Then...should we continue to move forward?"
That means there are people inside and it’s not fake.
Maybe Xue Mengya is really here.
Before, I only suspected that there was danger inside, but now I am absolutely sure that there is something inside.
Shen Lang gritted his teeth: "No matter what, we have to figure out the situation. But you must follow me closely."
They continued to move forward, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a bloodstain appeared in front of him, and there were some messy footprints on the ground.
Shen Lang knelt down and carefully observed these traces: "It looks like a fierce fight just took place here."
Xue Lingling's face became increasingly pale: "Could it be..."
Shen Lang stood up and comforted: "Don't scare yourself first, maybe it's not her."
Xue Mengya's cry for help sounded again, the voice was full of despair and fear, like a sharp dagger piercing into their hearts.
"Help...help me..."
This voice echoed in the empty valley, with endless pain and pleading, making Xue Lingling's body couldn't help but tremble.
There was a vague figure waving in the fog in the distance. The figure was vague and could not be seen clearly.
I saw that hand waving feebly in the mist, as if it would disappear at any time.
Xue Lingling shouted excitedly: "It's Mengya, it must be Mengya!" Her eyes were wide open, full of eagerness and anxiety, and her voice became shrill and harsh with excitement.
Just now she saw the blood stains and smelled the bloody smell in the air. She was already convinced that Xue Mengya was injured and trapped here. Now that she heard the cry for help, she immediately became convinced.
Shen Lang grabbed her, and the strength in his hand unconsciously increased: "Wait, I'm not sure yet, this may be a trap."
All of this was so weird. Why did they send out a cry for help at this time? It was obvious that they had broken their throats before and there was no response.
Xue Lingling struggled desperately to rush over, kicking her feet on the ground randomly: "No, that's my sister, I want to save her! I can't just watch my sister in danger!"
Shen Lang grabbed her tightly, and the veins in his arms bulged from the force: "Lingling, calm down! Let's observe the situation first. If we act rashly, not only will we not be able to save her, but we may also fall into a desperate situation."
Xue Lingling's tears burst out of her eyes, flowing freely like a flood that broke a bank, and she shouted with a crying voice: "But, Shen Lang, that's my sister, what if she..."
Her voice trembled, broken by extreme fear and worry, as if every word was laced with deep despair.
Before Shen Lang could react, Xue Lingling suddenly broke free from Shen Lang's restraints and rushed forward desperately.
Her hair was messy and flying in the wind, and the tears on her face were blown away by the wind, but new tears kept pouring out.
"Lingling, come back!" Shen Lang shouted loudly, his voice full of anxiety and helplessness.
Xue Lingling ran towards the figure in the mist as if she was going crazy.
Tears blurred her vision, making her barely able to see the road ahead, but she had only one thought in her mind, and that was to get to her sister as soon as possible.
Xue Lingling slipped and her left foot fell into a small pit hidden in the weeds, almost falling.
But she quickly supported the ground with both hands to stabilize her body, completely ignoring the sharp stones that cut her palms and the blood that stained the ground red.
She gritted her teeth and continued to rush forward, as if all the pain could not stop her steps.
Shen Lang hurried to catch up, his heart beating rapidly.
"Lingling, stop!" Shen Lang shouted hoarsely, his voice seemed so weak in the fog.
He swung his arms vigorously, his steps became faster and faster, and he wished he could fly to Xue Lingling immediately.
At this time, the waving figure seemed to move, and an unknown fear spread in the air.
The surrounding fog seemed to become thicker, like an invisible net, tightly wrapping them.
At this time, Shen Lang finally closed the distance with Xue Lingling.
He grabbed Xue Lingling's arm and pulled her back hard.
"Lingling, don't be impulsive, we don't know the situation yet!" Shen Lang said with a heavy breath.
Xue Lingling struggled desperately, trying to break free from Shen Lang's restraints: "Let me go, Shen Lang, I want to save my sister!"
Shen Lang grabbed her tightly and said loudly: "Even if we want to save her, we have to think long-term. If we rush over like this, it will only put everyone in a desperate situation!"
