NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79 Temporarily out of danger
Shen Lang held a sword in his hand and carefully opened the way forward, using his sword to push aside the branches and vines blocking the road from time to time.
Xue Lingling followed closely behind, observing the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
As they walked, they heard a "buzzing" sound and saw a swarm of black flying insects attacking them.
"Be careful!" Shen Lang reminded loudly, waving his sword to try to drive away these flying insects.
Xue Lingling covered her face with her sleeves and fled in panic.
After finally getting rid of the harassment of flying insects, a rushing stream appeared in front of them.
But the only good news is that the fog here has been significantly reduced, and the visibility has reached a range of three meters.
Shen Lang looked at the stream. The water was flowing rapidly and sharp stones could be seen vaguely in the water.
"Lingling, I'll go explore the way first." Shen Lang said, then carefully stepped into the water.
The cold stream water instantly covered Shen Lang's knees, and the strong current hit his legs, making him unsteady.
But he gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step with difficulty.
Xue Lingling anxiously watched Shen Lang from the shore, holding her hands tightly together.
Just when Shen Lang was about to reach the other side, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell into the water.
"Shen Lang!" Xue Lingling couldn't help but exclaimed.
Shen Lang struggled desperately in the water, and finally grabbed a stone and stabilized his body.
Panting heavily, he continued to crawl toward the other side.
Finally, Shen Lang successfully reached the other side. He shouted to Xue Lingling: "Lingling, come here, be careful!"
Xue Lingling took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to step into the water.
Shen Lang stretched out his hand on the other side, trying to answer her.
Xue Lingling tried hard to maintain her balance, and with the help of Shen Lang, she crossed the stream without any danger.
They had no time to rest and continued along the trail.
"Shen Lang, I really can't walk." Xue Lingling said breathlessly, her voice full of exhaustion and helplessness.
Shen Lang stopped and looked back at Xue Lingling, his eyes filled with distress: "Just hold on for a little longer, Lingling, maybe there will be a way out ahead."
Xue Lingling bit her lip, nodded, steeled herself and continued to follow Shen Lang.
At this time, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and it was about to rain.
"No, we have to speed up, otherwise once it rains, this road will be more difficult to walk." Shen Lang quickened his pace.
Xue Lingling also tried to keep up, but her steps became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, Xue Lingling's feet softened and she fell to the ground.
Shen Lang hurriedly turned around and helped her up: "Lingling, how are you?"
Xue Lingling's face turned pale: "I...I'm fine, I just don't have the strength."
Shen Lang carried Xue Lingling on his back and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, I will take you away."
Just then, heavy raindrops began to fall.
The rain quickly wetted their clothes.
Xue Lingling lay on Shen Lang's back, her heart full of emotion and guilt: "Shen Lang, let me go, you will be very tired like this."
Shen Lang gasped and replied: "Don't talk, save your strength."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was going to flood the entire valley.
The dense raindrops were like sharp swords, piercing straight to the ground and splashing into pieces of turbid water.
Every drop of rain hitting the body brings a cold sting.
But the rain came at the right time. The rain mixed with the soil and formed a stream of turbid water that flowed down the hillside.
Before, they could feel the adsorption and drag of muddy water every time they took a step. Fortunately, the erosion of rain made the road less sticky, allowing them to speed up their pace slightly.
Shen Lang carried Xue Lingling on his back, hunched over, and trudged forward in the rain.
His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and the rain kept flowing down his face, blurring his vision.
But he still gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step with his strong will and desire for survival.
Xue Lingling lay on Shen Lang's back, holding his neck tightly with her hands.
Her clothes were already soaked, and the cold rain made her shiver, but she tried hard not to become a burden to Shen Lang and tried her best to maintain her body's balance.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the exit of the valley ahead.
There seemed to be a bright light at the exit, which was particularly dazzling in the dim rain curtain.
Shen Lang's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope flashed across his tired face: "Lingling, we are almost there!" Xue Lingling raised her head and looked at the exit, her eyes full of anticipation.
As we get closer and closer to the exit, the fog gradually dissipates, and the visibility has returned to the same level as when we were outside.
They can even see outside.
"Work harder!" Shen Lang said loudly.
Just as they sped away, their uneasiness grew stronger.
The uneasiness was like a big invisible hand, gripping their hearts tightly, making his breathing quicken.
This strong sense of crisis... is absolutely unmistakable.
Shen Lang stopped, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, carefully observing everything around him.
I was horrified to discover a mind-numbing fact! The monster was waiting at the exit! Moreover, it cleverly disguised its figure. If it weren't for Shen Lang's extremely keen intuition, they might not have been able to detect it even if they took a few steps closer.
Recalling all the previous encounters, it is not difficult to guess that this monster has extremely high intelligence.
It seemed to know their actions well, and every time it appeared, it pushed them into a desperate situation just in time.
Shen Lang's heart sank, and his face became extremely solemn.
His lips were tightly pursed into a line, his eyes were fixed on the monster hiding in the dark, and his mind was thinking quickly about how to deal with it.
Xue Lingling also noticed Shen Lang's abnormality, and her voice was trembling: "Shen Lang, what's wrong?"
Shen Lang took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, the monster is in front."
Xue Lingling's face turned pale in an instant.
She quickly thought of something.
"Shen Lang, put me down." Although Xue Lingling's voice was trembling, it was full of unquestionable determination.
Shen Lang put her down as he said.
Xue Lingling quickly took out a small brocade bag from her arms, which contained several precious pills emitting strange light.
Her hands trembled slightly, and she took the recovery pills and the pills that enhanced her strength, and put them into her mouth and swallowed them without any hesitation.
Shen Lang was startled, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "Lingling, these pills have great side effects, and you have to take them together, you can't be so impulsive!"
Xue Lingling interrupted him and looked at him firmly: "Shen Lang, I can't care about so much at this time. I can't always hide behind you and become a burden to you."
After the pill entered her stomach, an abnormal blush instantly appeared on Xue Lingling's face.
"Shen Lang, let's deal with this monster together." Xue Lingling said with gritted teeth.
