Chapter 176: Deep into the Ancient Ruins
On the other hand, someone has been looking for her, and Brother Xu mentioned that you were kidnapped.
Then, the three of them entered this ancient site to look for you."
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes widened and his voice suddenly rose.
"What! They came into this ancient ruins to look for me?" He didn't expect that Xu Dake and others would be so persistent in looking for him.
Under the impact of the red flame giant tiger, everyone scattered, but unexpectedly Xu Dake found all of them.
Shangguan Jiannan's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"How long have they been gone?" he asked eagerly.
Lu Jing replied, "About half an hour."
She noticed that Shangguan Jiannan's face was particularly gloomy, so she quickly said, "We have to go in and find them quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Jiannan took a step forward, and the sound of an explosion was heard.
His expression became increasingly ugly, because he knew very well that there must be something fishy about this ancient monument.
Xu Dake and others went deep into the area to find him. If the situation was not good... he was filled with worry.
At this moment, Shangguan Jiannan no longer paused and moved forward rapidly.
Seeing how anxious he was, Lu Jing was also a little shocked.
But at this moment, she couldn't care about anything else, because they had been waiting for half an hour and time was running out.
Two figures began to quickly move away, one in front and one behind.
Shangguan Jiannan and Lu Jing were both filled with anxiety and worry. They didn't know whether Xu Dakai and others were safe.
But they could only find them as soon as possible, hoping that everything was still in time... In the mountain breeze, the robes fluttered, and the sound was like the rustling of the tide.
The two travelers walked through the ruins of the jungle, looking nervous and vigilantly observing their surroundings.
At this time, Shangguan Jiannan's actions also became cautious, and his eyes were deep and focused.
He stared at his surroundings, his expression becoming increasingly serious.
As time passed, a blurry figure appeared in the distance. This sudden situation made Shangguan Jiannan feel nervous.
He began to observe every detail around him more carefully, trying to find out the purpose of this stranger's visit.
The mountain wind was howling, and the ruins in the jungle seemed to be telling an unknown story, and all this made the atmosphere even more tense.
The two continued to move forward, taking every step with extreme caution.
Shangguan Jiannan's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, but there was no expression on his face.
He knew he had to stay calm in order to handle any situation that might arise.
The surrounding environment became more bizarre, but the two still moved forward firmly, looking for the truth of the matter.
At this moment, the figure in the distance gradually became clear.
A hint of surprise and confusion flashed in Shangguan Jiannan's eyes, and he realized that the appearance of this stranger might change everything.
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to face any challenge that might come.
What kind of future will this decision lead them to? Everything is still unknown.
How could he be here? Shangguan Jiannan quickly locked his eyes with a figure in the distance, feeling puzzled.
Lu Jing stopped immediately and saw Shangguan Jiannan looked strange and puzzled.
The two men stopped, and the figure in the distance also stopped.
After seeing his face clearly, Shangguan Jiannan was surprised and suspicious, and stepped forward quickly: Brother Lin, how could we meet here by chance? In front of him, a man in white clothes, with a sword pointing to the sky, was Lin Ruohua, the master of Wuji Sect, Wuji Sword, one of the four strongest men.
The joy of reunion and surprise were intertwined, and Shangguan Jiannan asked without thinking.
After not seeing each other for several months, we met again here. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruohua had a gloomy face and just nodded indifferently, obviously he was worried about something.
He stood alone, looking around with a nervous look on his face.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ruohua turned to Shangguan Jiannan: Brother Shangguan, what are you two doing here? Shangguan sighed and briefly described his experience.
Lin Ruohua's sword flashed, his face solemn, he leaned in and whispered: I may agree with you, our companions were also lost here.
These words were like thunder, roaring in Shangguan Jiannan's ears, causing his expression to suddenly change and become extremely solemn.
Obviously, this is not accidental, there must be a conspiracy behind it.
The strangeness of the giant red-flame tiger, the four women in the sedan chair in mid-air...all kinds of signs flashed through his mind quickly, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.
Shangguan Jiannan's heart was in turmoil, with an inexplicable emotion surging in his chest.
Shangguan Jiannan no longer hesitated and quickly told everyone what he had seen and heard.
Afterwards, the three of them fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling through the trees.
"It seems that they should have gone deep into the hinterland."
Lin Ruohua was the first to break the silence, her voice low.
Shangguan Jiannan nodded silently, his expression solemn, his eyes looking deeply into the distance, a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Go!" Lin Ruohua shouted in a low voice, and his body suddenly jumped up and swept past like the wind.
The strong air currents surged in the open space, echoing endlessly.
Shangguan Jiannan and Lu Jing followed closely behind, with solemn expressions and not flinching at all.
Three figures walked hand in hand and headed straight into the depths of the ancient ruins.
The air was filled with the rotting smell of fallen leaves, which became stronger and stronger.
The three of them shuttled through the air, surrounded by surging spiritual energy, whose power could be felt from several feet away.
There was deathly silence all around, and the breath of antiquity filled the air. The ruins seemed to carry countless past events, which aroused people's imagination.
However, at this moment, the three of them had no time to care about anything else. They all looked alert and their hearts were full of worries.
Heavy breaths intertwined together, and the eerie atmosphere in the air became thicker.
Shangguan Jiannan's expression became increasingly ugly. As they went deeper, the three of them were completely surrounded by this vast ruins.
The lush green jungles around were long gone, replaced by a vast sea of green trees swaying in the wind, magnificent and majestic.
The air was mixed with a weird and bloody smell, which was pungent and unbearable.
The three of them had been walking for nearly an hour and found nothing except the devastated ruins.
"What should I do?" Lin Ruohua finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted anxiously.
"Maybe they are all out." Lin Ruohua's eyes swept across the endless forest around him, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"It's definitely in front." Shangguan Jiannan might have originally felt the same way as Lin Ruohua, but with in-depth exploration and previous experiences, he had a feeling that this matter was not simple.
Keep going! Shangguan Jiannan's deep and powerful voice sounded, and then he stretched out his body and rushed away like lightning.
Although Lin Ruohua was extremely anxious, she had no choice but to keep up, closely following Shangguan Jiannan's steps. The three of them were on edge and did not dare to slack off.
About half an hour later, Lin Ruohua's eyes suddenly froze, his body stopped abruptly, and he stared ahead in shock, his face as stiff as a stone sculpture.
"This...this..." He stood there in a daze, unable to speak.
Shangguan Jiannan noticed something strange and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Lu Jing's exclamation.
As far as everyone could see, a blood-covered figure was clearly visible on a rock not far away. To be more precise, it was a corpse.
Lin Ruohua suddenly exerted force, and the rocks under his feet shattered into pieces. He flashed and quickly approached the corpse.
"Junior Brother Wang!"
Lin Ruohua was heartbroken, she screamed, her whole body trembling, her eyes fixed on her lifeless junior brother.
"Who is so cruel?"
