Chapter 1120: King Chen Ling!

"Don't make noise! It's me!!"

Seeing this, Chen Ling immediately put away his Calamity form, his figure quickly returning to the appearance of Chen Ling draped in a bright red opera robe. One hand covered Xiaobai's mouth, and the other made a gesture for silence.

Seeing Chen Ling, Xiaobai's eyes were still full of terror. He struggled frantically, and his eyes even began to roll back, showing signs of fainting again.

"Deep breaths, don't be afraid..."

"I'm here to save you! I won't eat you!"

"If you faint again, don't blame me if you wake up missing an arm or a leg."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiaobai's eyes, which had already rolled back halfway, forcibly regained their sanity. He opened his mouth wide and took deep breaths. It took a full two minutes before he finally calmed down.

Seeing this, Chen Ling completely let go of his body, making his voice as gentle and harmless as possible:

"Don't be afraid, Teacher Ye asked me to save you. I'm your classmate at the Fusion Faction now... Don't be nervous."

"I... no no no... not nervous anymore, King Chen Ling... no, Brother Chen Ling!!"

Xiaobai answered, trembling.

Chen Ling: ...

Everything that happened when he first met Chen Ling had become a psychological shadow for Xiaobai. After he returned to the dorm and woke up that day, he had been building up his psychological defenses, even secretly paying attention to Chen Ling's every move, telling himself not to make such a fool of himself again.

He once thought he had overcome his fear of Chen Ling, and even planned to try to brush past Chen Ling once, or even take the initiative to say a word to him... But only now did Xiaobai realize that some things were engraved in his bones. No matter how he numbed himself, fear was fear.

The good news was that he didn't faint on the spot this time, which could be considered progress.

"Do you know where you are?"

Chen Ling was speechless at Xiaobai's reaction, but could only guide the topic as gently as possible, asking about his experience.

Who knew that Xiaobai would be stunned, look at the pitch-black surroundings, and tremble for a long time:

"In... in the King's cave?"

“？”

Chen Ling was directly amused. "How do you know I live in a cave?"

Xiaobai also realized he had said the wrong thing and became even more nervous. "I... I don't know either... I just suddenly... suddenly thought of it... I was wrong, King! No... I was wrong, Brother."

"Alright, alright. I'll ask you, do you remember what happened before you fainted?"

"Before I fainted..."

Xiaobai frowned. Being pitch-black, he was like he had turned invisible at the bottom of the dark well, with only his eyes blinking blankly.

"I remember, I seemed to have gone to pick withered leaves with Linglong... and then... and then after picking them, we were preparing to go back, and on the way, we seemed to have seen something..."

"What thing?" Chen Ling immediately pursued.

"It seemed to be a messy graffiti, right on the trunk of the Mother Tree."

"Graffiti?"

"Yes, it felt like someone had just drawn it casually. That thing wasn't on the trunk before." Xiaobai finally came to his senses. "Where's Linglong?! Where is she?"

"She's right next to you. Don't worry, they're all fine."

Chen Ling was still digesting Xiaobai's description. He thought they had been kidnapped by someone; he didn't expect that they were just bewitched after seeing a piece of graffiti... In this way, it made sense that Xiao Tao and the others came over today. They probably saw that eerie graffiti just like Xiaobai.

After going back, he had to tell Teacher Ye about this quickly, otherwise, people would definitely continue to go missing later.

After groping for Linglong and Xiao Tao on the side, Xiaobai was obviously surprised, and then asked:

"King... no, Brother, can we still go back?"

"Of course we can go back, but the situation above is a bit troublesome right now." Chen Ling pointed to the top of the well. "Above is the territory of the Jiangtian Sect. I can't take the four of you away without anyone noticing... let alone that three of them are in a coma."

"Jiangtian Sect... then what should we do?"

Chen Ling stood up and paced at the bottom of the well, thinking.

According to what the two Jiangtian Sect members said just now, the bonfire in the center of the village had a repellent effect on Calamities. Looking at it this way, even if he let the shadow centipede army kill their way over, they might not be able to sweep through the whole village and kill all the Jiangtian Sect members... It was impossible to take the four of them away without anyone noticing.

"Give me some time." Chen Ling said calmly. "I'll deal with the trouble above, and then I'll take you back."

"Brother, are you going to solve all the Jiangtian Sect members by yourself?"

"...I can try."

Xiaobai didn't have the slightest doubt about Chen Ling's answer, as if he had absolute confidence in him, feeling that it was only natural for Chen Ling to be able to solve a group of Jiangtian Sect members. He nodded heavily and said:

"Understood. Then I'll protect Linglong and the others here and wait for Brother to come and save us."

Chen Ling gave him a few more instructions, such as not making any noise and not going out no matter what happened outside, then his figure flickered and turned into red paper filling the sky, flying up toward the mouth of the well...

Xiaobai stood at the bottom of the well, watching the dancing red paper disappear at the mouth of the well, deep worship and longing appearing in his eyes.

……

"Still... haven't shaken them off yet??"

Under the night sky, Jack of Diamonds was panting at the very back and couldn't help but ask.

Jack of Diamonds didn't know what was up with these juniors. Clearly, none of their ranks seemed high, but they could run better than the next one... Not to mention Jian Changsheng, who would give himself a stab to speed up at any time, Sun Bumian, who was flying through the sky holding a lion head mask, was ridiculously fast, and Jiang Xiaohua, who looked clumsy and slow, ran like a cannonball, still tireless after running for several hours.

Sun Bumian, hanging above everyone's heads, looked back.

"Almost! The main force has already passed, we'll be safe once we run ahead!"

Hearing this, Jack of Diamonds could only grit his teeth and persist. The four of them ran for another twenty minutes and finally arrived among the barren volcanic remains.

Sun Bumian stepped on the cloud-walking technique and came down from the sky bit by bit, wiping the sweat from his forehead while saying:

"It's okay, we should have dodged them."

Jack of Diamonds slumped directly to the ground. He looked far behind him and saw the galloping dust flying past from another direction. Countless Calamity silhouettes were like stepping on thunder, making roaring sounds, and disappeared in a mighty wave at the end of the horizon.

Jian Changsheng on the side was also panting heavily, sitting down on the ground, muttering in a low voice:

"Damn, I'm exhausted..."

He looked around at the completely unfamiliar terrain in the darkness and couldn't help but speak again:

"Where the hell did this bring us??"
