“Yun Ting!!”
Duan Qingxi wanted to catch up, but it was too late. She was covered by a ball of white gas and had to stop. Then she used her spiritual power to eliminate the white gas, but Yun Ting had already disappeared.
The people who were resting in the dilapidated temple were also awakened by her screams, and Jiu Sheng and Ye Ling quickly rushed to her side.
"Eleven! Eleven, what's wrong?!"
Ye Ling came to her side, and after seeing that she was fine, he asked, "What happened to Yun Ting?"
Duan Qingxi's expression turned grim. "Yun Ting is gone. He was swept away by a very strange... and sinister force. I couldn't catch up with him."
Hearing this, Jiu Sheng's eyes narrowed.
Although Duan Qingxi rarely took action, he knew that her strength was definitely not bad, even comparable to his. But even she couldn't save Yun Ting, so it seemed that the thing was very powerful...
He said, "Let's go back and meet up with the others first."
Although Duan Qingxi was worried about Yun Ting, he also knew that worrying now was the most useless thing, so he nodded and went back to meet Ji Yichen and the others.
When Bai Zichuan saw them coming back, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Ye Xun, however, was more observant and didn't notice Yun Ting, so he asked, "Where's Yun Ting? What happened to him?"
After walking in front of them, Ye Ling said in a deep voice: "We were careless. Now Yun Ting has been captured and his whereabouts are unknown. We..."
"Yun Ting was captured?" Ji Yichen, sitting in a wheelchair, narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn. "Yun Ting's cultivation is not bad, and he is considered to be in the upper middle level among us. Now he was captured like this, and we didn't even notice it. This... I'm afraid something is wrong."
Ji Yichen's words made the others' faces become solemn. Although they had known for a long time that this trial was not easy, they did not expect that their friends would be kidnapped before they could even make a move!
Duan Qingxi was calmer than the others. Even if Yun Ting was really taken away, it didn't mean anything had really happened. "The most important thing now is to find Yun Ting as soon as possible. However, we still don't know whether the person who took Yun Ting away is a human, a ghost, or some monster. So from now on, everyone should be extra careful and never act alone again."
The others were silent, looking unhappy, but they all agreed with Duan Qingxi's words.
Bai Zichuan hesitated for a long time and said, "I... it's okay for us. After all, we are all men. Even if we need to go to the toilet, we can go together in a group. It's just... it's just..."
Duan Qingxi understood what it was right away.
She twitched her lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't be captured that easily. Even if I am captured, I won't necessarily be the unlucky one."
Duan Qingxi has a high level of cultivation and is also an alchemist. He should be the most powerful among them. Once this was said, no one dared to refute it.
But Ji Yichen still said: "No matter what, we should still be careful. Eleven is a girl after all, so you should not be careless. No matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will always encounter some difficult things. In short... In short, if you have any inconvenience, you should still tell us."
Seeing all the boys blushing, Duan Qingxi said helplessly, "Okay," even though he didn't know what they were thinking.
There was not much nonsense afterwards, and the group followed the direction where Yun Ting disappeared.
But halfway through the journey, Yun Ting's presence suddenly disappeared. They were now stopped in the woods. There was a very strange and eerie atmosphere around them, as if there were dangers lurking around that they could not see.
Duan Qingxi also had to be alert. She looked around and took several steps forward, putting some distance between herself and Ji Yichen and his group. But at this moment, it seemed as if something had seized this opportunity. Suddenly, a thick smoke appeared around them, completely blocking their vision. Not only could they not see the surrounding situation clearly, even the companions who were originally standing beside them disappeared completely!
Duan Qingxi subconsciously stretched out an arm to cover her mouth and nose, narrowed her eyes slightly, and gathered magic power with her whole body, trying to build a barrier to protect everyone, but the white smoke was really unusual. Her barrier could not protect everyone, and could only barely protect herself.
Xiaodai was held tightly in her arms with her other hand, not daring to move at all. It was unknown whether he was also wary of the smoke like her, or if he had passed out due to inhaling the smoke.
The fog lasted for a long time. By the time Duan Qingxi was able to dispel all the fog around her, she was no longer in the forest.
It was the smoke that brought her to a cave. It was very quiet and there was nothing around.
