Chapter 1120: King Chen Ling!
King Chen Ling!
"Don't make noise! It's me!!"
Seeing this, Chen Ling immediately put away his Calamity form. His figure rapidly changed back to the appearance of Chen Ling draped in the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe. With one hand covering Little White's mouth, his other hand made a silencing gesture.
Seeing Chen Ling, Little White's eyes were still full of panic. His whole person crazily struggled, and even his eyes began to roll up, showing a trend of fainting again.
"Take a deep breath, don't be afraid..."
"I came to save you! I won't eat you!"
"If you faint again, when you wake up missing an arm or a leg, don't blame me."
As these few sentences came out, Little White's half-rolled eyes forcibly recovered their rationality. He opened his mouth wide and continuously took deep breaths. After a full two minutes passed, he finally recovered his senses.
Seeing this, Chen Ling completely released his body, making his voice as gentle and harmless as possible:
"I... no no no... not nervous anymore, King Chen Ling... No, Big Brother Chen Ling!!"
Little White replied trembling.
Chen Ling: ...
Everything that happened the first time he met Chen Ling had already become Little White's psychological shadow. After he returned to the dorm and woke up that day, he had been continuously doing psychological construction for himself, and even secretly paying attention to Chen Ling's every move in the dark, telling himself he couldn't make a fool of himself like that again in the future.
He once thought he had already overcome his fear of Chen Ling, and even planned to try brushing past Chen Ling once, or even take the initiative to say a word to him... But until now Little White finally realized, some things were engraved in his bones. No matter how he paralyzed himself, fear was fear.
The good news was, this time he didn't faint on the spot, which could be considered some progress.
"Do you know where you are?"
Chen Ling was somewhat speechless at Little White's reaction, but could only guide the topic as gently as possible to ask about his experience.
Who knew Little White was taken aback, glanced at the pitch-black surroundings, and trembled for a long time:
"In... in the King's cave?"
"?"
Chen Ling was directly angered to the point of laughing. "How do you know I live in a cave?"
Little White also realized he said the wrong thing, and his whole person instead became even more nervous. "I... I also don't know... I just suddenly... suddenly thought of it... I was wrong King! No... I was wrong Big Brother."
"Alright alright, I ask you, do you still remember what happened before you fainted?"
"Before fainting..."
Little White frowned tightly. His completely pitch-black self was like invisible at the bottom of the dark well, only leaving a pair of eyes blankly blinking.
"I remember, I seemed to have gone with Linglong to pick dead leaves... Then... then after picking we prepared to go back, and on the road we seemed to have seen something..."
"What thing?" Chen Ling immediately pursued the question.
"It seemed to be a messy graffiti, right on the trunk of the Mother Tree."
"Graffiti?"
"Right, it felt like someone casually drew it on there. There wasn't that thing on the trunk before." Little White finally recovered his senses. "Where is Linglong?! Where is she?"
"She is right beside you. Rest assured, they are all fine."
Chen Ling was currently still digesting Little White's description. He originally thought they were kidnapped by someone, not expecting they just saw a graffiti and were mesmerized... This way, Little Peach and the other one coming over today also made sense. Most likely they also saw that bizarre graffiti like Little White.
After returning, he had to quickly tell Teacher Ye about this matter, otherwise someone would definitely continue to go missing afterwards.
After groping and finding Linglong at the side, as well as Little Peach and the other one, Little White was obviously surprised for a moment, and closely followed by asking:
"King... No, Big Brother, can we still go back?"
"Of course we can go back, but the situation up there right now is a bit troublesome." Chen Ling pointed to the top of the well. "Up there is the territory of the Scarlet Heaven Cult. I can't take the four of you to leave silently... Not to mention, three of them are still in a comatose state."
"Scarlet Heaven Cult... Then what do we do?"
Chen Ling stood up, pacing and pondering at the bottom of the well.
According to the words of those two Scarlet Heaven Cultists just now, the bonfire in the center of the village had a dispelling effect on Calamities. Looking at it this way, even if he let the Shadow Centipede army charge over, they might not be able to sweep across the whole village and kill all the Scarlet Heaven Cultists... Directly taking the four of them to leave silently was also impossible.
"Give me some time." Chen Ling spoke calmly. "I'll deal with the trouble up there, then I'll take you back."
"Big Brother, are you going to deal with all the Scarlet Heaven Cultists alone?"
"... I can try."
Regarding Chen Ling's answer, Little White didn't have the slightest doubt, as if having absolute confidence in him. Feeling that Chen Ling being able to deal with a group of Scarlet Heaven Cultists was a matter of course, he nodded heavily and said:
"Understood, then I'll protect Linglong and the others here, and wait for Big Brother to come save us."
Chen Ling exhorted him a few more words, such as not making a sound, and not going out no matter what happened outside. Then his figure swayed and transformed into Red Paper filling the sky, flying upwards towards the well opening...
Little White just stood there at the bottom of the well like this, watching the dancing Red Paper disappear at the well opening, deep admiration and yearning surfacing in his eyes.
...
"Still... still haven't shaken them off??"
Under the night sky, Jack of Diamonds panted heavily while trailing at the very back, unable to help asking.
Jack of Diamonds didn't know what was the situation with this group of juniors. Obviously none of their Ranks seemed high, but each one was better at running than the last... Let alone that Jian Changsheng who would give himself a knife to accelerate at any time, Sun Bumian holding the Awakened Lion Head-dress and flying wildly in the sky was ridiculously fast. There was also the seemingly clumsy and sluggish Jiang Xiaohua, running like a cannonball, completely tireless even after charging continuously for hours.
Sun Bumian hanging above everyone's heads looked back,
"Almost! The main force has already passed, running to the front will be safe!"
Hearing this, Jack of Diamonds could only grit his teeth and continue to persevere. The four ran for nearly twenty more minutes, finally arriving among a patch of barren volcanic ruins.
Sun Bumian stepped on the Cloud Step, coming down from the air bit by bit, wiping the sweat on his forehead while saying:
"It's okay now, we should have evaded them."
Jack of Diamonds's whole person directly collapsed sitting on the ground. He looked distantly behind him, only to see galloping smoke and dust speeding past from another direction. Countless Calamity figures seemed to step on thunder, emitting roaring sounds, and disappeared magnificently at the end of the horizon.
Jian Changsheng at the side was also panting heavily, directly sitting down on the ground, muttering softly:
"Motherf*cker, I'm exhausted..."
He looked around, looking at the completely unfamiliar terrain in the darkness, unable to help speaking again:
"Where the hell did we end up at??"
