Chapter 390: Chapter 390: She’s Gone

Late at night, Lin Xiaoyan and three others were staying in a room.

None of them slept, fearing that a single careless moment might lead to Lin Xiaoyan being captured.

As the clock neared midnight, the entire town grew silent, even the distant mountains fell into tranquility.

A black mist gradually spread, obscuring the moon in the sky.

In the pitch-black darkness, something seemed to be slowly crawling down the mountain.

“Hiss hiss…”

“Hiss…”

In the dead of night, even the slightest sound was highly conspicuous.

As Lin Xiaoyan and the others heard the “hiss hiss” noise, their hearts sank simultaneously.

It seemed there was no way to avoid this night.

Xiao Bo quietly stood up and walked to the window to look outside.

He peered through the gap in the curtains, but it was pitch black outside, revealing nothing visually, yet the sound of something crawling was clear.

If he’s guessing correctly, it should be snakes!

In the darkness, Xiao Bo silently sat back down, holding a weapon, keeping his eyes fixed on a spot at the window.

Nan Xi also held a weapon, her gaze fixed on the doorway.

Lin Xiaoyan listened to the sound of friction against the ground, feeling her scalp tingle.

She also carried weapons, but they were all cold weapons.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo feared she might accidentally injure herself.

After this incident, they decided that once it was over, they’d start teaching Lin Xiaoyan how to shoot!

No matter whether it would be useful or not in the future!

The Jade Pendant on Lin Xiaoyan’s neck gradually grew hot, her hand tightly gripping the talisman paper.

The talisman paper, just drawn by Lin Feng, could temporarily mask her aura, making it difficult for the snake to find her.

Beside her, Lin Feng was quickly sending messages, asking if help had arrived yet.

Meanwhile, nearly twenty kilometers away, a group of armed personnel stopped.

They had received news tonight that strange entities had appeared here, coming to provide support.

Upon receiving the message, they quickly got ready and moved rapidly.

However…

The leader of the group looked at the black mist spreading ahead, his face serious.

He glanced at the map, then at the nearby mountain range, still thirty to forty miles from the location of the entity.

Very close, indicating they were already at the entity’s range.

But this black mist…

“Boss, the people who entered the black mist have vanished.”

…

“Bang!”

A spark briefly illuminated the surroundings.

At this moment, Lin Feng was confronting that giant snake.

Just moments ago, countless snakes flooded into Lin Xiaoyan’s location.

Realgar powder couldn’t stop them at all.

The snake was dead set on capturing Lin Xiaoyan for a tribulation transformation.

And here, snakes were the least scarce.

After Lin Feng set up a formation in the room, he went out alone to find the snake.

Soon, Lin Xiaoyan and the others heard sounds of fighting from outside.

With a flash of firelight, the three clearly saw the scene outside.

Everywhere they looked were dense clusters of snakes…

This vision directly caused the three to gasp audibly.

Lin Xiaoyan almost fainted.

She tried hard to stay calm, composed, resilient!

But on the ground, on the walls, on the trees… there were snakes everywhere!

Oh my god! Snakes were her greatest fear, and to see so many in her lifetime… utterly repulsive!!!

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan was extremely tempted to shout profanities!

It was just too disgusting!

“Don’t be afraid, stay here for a while, we will do our best not to let those snakes approach you.”

Nan Xi’s face was exceptionally stern as she gently advised Lin Xiaoyan.

Xiao Bo looked at the window where a snake was crawling in.

With quick reflexes, he picked up a dagger and slew it.

“Thump”

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t control herself and glanced over, staring at the snake on the ground chopped into two segments, still twisting its body; she felt faint, gasping for oxygen, her mind…

“Right now, I just really want to pass out already…”

Lin Xiaoyan sluggishly shifted her gaze, smiling bitterly, “But… the more I want to faint, the clearer my mind becomes.”

“I just hate snakes the most!!!!”

Listening to the “hiss hiss” outside, Lin Xiaoyan was overwhelmed with frustration.

“Damn!!! They sent all these snake bastards!!!”

Xiao Bo watched as super tiny snakes squeezed through the gaps in doors and windows, feeling utterly astonished.

“Step on them!”

Nan Xi swiftly stomped on the approaching snake, killing it.

Xiao Bo snapped back to reality and quickly began to stomp as well.

However, the sensation was… too creepy.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan heard something fall and turned to look, “Gasp~”

The next second, Lin Xiaoyan “bang,” fainted onto the ground.

Both Nan Xi and Xiao Bo turned their heads, seeing Lin Xiaoyan passed out on the floor, promptly rushing over.

Yet they only extended their legs, taking one step forward, before stopping.

Their bodies stiffened, not daring to take another step.

Two three-headed pythons had appeared around Lin Xiaoyan’s body and surroundings sometime earlier.

At this moment, six snake heads hissed menacingly at the two, baring their fangs.

Just then, atop one of these six snake heads appeared a small entirely white snake, standing upright, staring at Nan Xi and Xiao Bo.

Moments later, the snake group gradually retreated.

Inside the room, only Nan Xi and Xiao Bo lay unconscious on the ground.

Lin Xiaoyan was gone.

Outside, Lin Feng was already battered and bruised, covered in blood, yet his morale remained strong, with no sign of retreat.

Compared to Lin Feng’s miserable state, the giant snake opposite him bore only two deep gashes, seemingly unscathed otherwise.

Just then, a faint voice sounded from afar.

The giant snake reared its body, staring directly at Lin Feng, then abruptly retreated.

Watching the giant snake quickly leave, Lin Feng wanted to give chase, but thinking of Lin Xiaoyan and the others, he immediately leapt back into their room.

“Xiao Yan!”

Lin Feng glanced at the talisman covered in snake blood, already rendered ineffective.

He was shocked and rushed into the room, finding Lin Xiaoyan indeed missing.

Only Xiao Bo and Nan Xi lay on the floor.

He hurriedly checked them, discovering no injuries, just unconscious.

“Xiao Bo… Xiao Bo…”

No matter how Lin Feng called, he couldn’t wake the two.

He stood up, looking at the spot where Lin Xiaoyan had been sitting, seeing the ceiling had a large hole above, and he jumped directly upwards.

Landing on the rooftop, Lin Feng found the surrounding black mist had disappeared, yet the nearby mountain remained invisible; his heart sank.

“Ding…”

At this moment, his phone signal returned, messages flooding in one after another.

Helicopter sounds echoed in the sky, accompanied by distant headlights…

Lin Feng gazed into the distance, his face full of worry, regret.

Blaming his inadequate skills, letting Xiao Yan…

Half an hour later, He Qi’an learned the news of Lin Xiaoyan’s disappearance.

Understanding the situation’s course, his expression grew stern as he directly dialed Shi Nan’s number.

The next morning, the shop owner and his wife stared dumbfoundedly at the giant hole on the rooftop.
