Chapter 253 Missing
Chapter 253 Missing
When saying this, Wang Lin's voice trembled slightly. He didn't dare to look people in the eye. His hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
Just at this moment, Chu Tingting stepped into the camp.
Chu Tingting was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed something was wrong with Wang Lin. She saw her stuttering as she dealt with everyone.
Chu Tingting stepped forward and said to everyone with a smile: "Wang Lin's breathing is unstable. Look at her, the Qi in her body is regulating. It seems that she has just used the Whispering Lan Ze. Everyone, stop asking her questions and let her take a break."
As Chu Tingting spoke, she observed Wang Lin's expression subtly.
A complex emotion flashed across Wang Lin's eyes, including gratitude and panic.
Zhao Kai also echoed: "Yes, let's all go." After hearing this, everyone gradually dispersed.
After everyone left, Chu Tingting walked over to Wang Lin and asked softly, "What happened? Don't hide it."
Wang Lin bit her lip and her eyes instantly turned red. She looked around and seeing that no one was paying attention, she told Chu Tingting everything that had happened.
After hearing what happened to Wang Lin, Chu Tingting didn't say much. She just reached out and gently held Wang Lin's hand, her eyes sincere and warm: "Wang Lin, it is not easy to practice the move of Whispering Lan Ze. If you want to go further in the future, you can find me if you need it."
Wang Lin raised his eyes and looked at Chu Tingting. His eyes instantly became moist and his heart was filled with gratitude. His throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak for a long time.
She nodded vigorously and choked out a "Yeah!"
She has already remembered this timely help in her heart, and all her words are expressed in this heavy nod.
In the camp, the days continued to flow as usual.
Cai Xiaoxiao’s disappearance was like a stone thrown into a deep lake, which only caused a few tiny splashes of water before quickly returning to calm.
Everyone seemed to have chosen to forget tacitly. No one mentioned Cai Xiaoxiao's name, and no one really cared where she had gone.
Sometimes Wang Lin would inadvertently glance at Cai Xiaoxiao's former residence, feeling mixed emotions.
In this way, Cai Xiaoxiao's disappearance is like a page covered by the dust of time, no one opens it, and no one cares.
Originally, Cai Xiaoxiao’s disappearance was regarded as an insignificant matter by everyone and was quickly forgotten.
However, the calm did not last long.
At some point, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "Where are Du Ruohong and Liu Yichen? Why haven't they come back since they went out?"
This shout, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly broke the tranquility of the camp.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they realized that a number of people had disappeared inexplicably since not long ago.
Everyone began to recall the past in a panic. People in the camp gathered in groups of three or four, asking each other about what they had seen and heard.
"Yes, I saw Zhang Feng picking herbs in the woods a few days ago, and I haven't seen him since."
"And Li Yue, who said he was going to the stream to fetch water, has also disappeared."
Panic spread quickly in the camp like a plague.
These past few days, everyone was scattered around and hadn't noticed that people were quietly disappearing in the camp.
Now it seems that there is a huge conspiracy behind this.
And they are already in it.
On the other side of Youyou Mountain, Zhuge Heping and Chu Hao were wandering in the mountains and forests.
Before I knew it, I arrived at Yuquan again.
The area surrounding Yuquan is peaceful and tranquil, the water in the pond is crystal clear and sparkling in the sunlight.
Zhuge Heping stared at the Jade Spring with a serious expression, then turned to Chu Hao and said, "Chu Hao, this Jade Spring is very strange. If you use your internal energy to exert force, the water will show five colors and become icy cold."
Chu Hao frowned slightly and stared at Yuquan pretending to be concerned. He got straight to the point and asked Zhuge Heping, "What help do you need from me?"
Zhuge Heping did not hesitate. He stared at the surface of the Jade Spring and said, "Shangqing Purple Flame! Use Shangqing Purple Flame to burn the water of the Jade Spring!"
After saying that, Zhuge Heping turned around and stared at Chu Hao with a slight smile.
Chu Hao did not act immediately after hearing Zhuge Heping's request. Instead, he stared at him intently and suddenly said, "You are Wang Ye's disciple, right?"
Zhuge Heping was surprised, his eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hands to deny: "No, no. With Wang Ye's casual and undisciplined personality, how could he possibly accept a disciple?"
Chu Hao smiled lightly, shook his head confidently, pointed at the string of beads in Zhuge Heping's hand, and said firmly: "The beads in your hand have already shown that Wang Ye has accepted you as his apprentice. This is Wang Ye's unique item. How can you get it without his approval?"
Zhuge Heping was shocked again and looked down at the beads in his hand. He didn't expect that this would become the exposure point of his identity.
Zhuge Heping's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked anxiously, "How did you know that? Could it be that... you are also Wang Ye's apprentice?"
He looked back and forth at Chu Hao, trying to find the answer from Chu Hao's expression.
Chu Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said leisurely: "When Wang Ye saw me, he had to bow and say hello."
The tone was calm and casual, as if he was stating a very ordinary matter.
After hearing this, Zhuge Heping's face became more suspicious. Chu Hao in front of him was only a teenager, with a green appearance and a youthful vigor.
In his opinion, Wang Ye was an outstanding disciple of Wudang Mountain and of a high seniority, so how could he be so respectful to such a young man?
Even if Chu Hao's strength is truly astonishing, he is not necessarily stronger than Wang Ye!
Zhuge Heping couldn't help but shake his head, obviously not believing what Chu Hao said: "How is this possible? You are just a teenager, don't make fun of me."
But the situation was urgent at the moment, so he quickly said, "Don't change the subject, let's talk about this later."
Seeing that he was anxious, Chu Hao stopped joking, crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you know Shangqing Ziyan so well and are eager to solve the Yuquan issue, why don't you cast Shangqing Ziyan yourself."
Although Zhuge Heping had doubts about Chu Hao's words, one thing had been confirmed at this moment.
Chu Hao really knows how to meet Qing Zi Yan!
However, Zhuge Heping took a deep breath, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and the Qi around him began to surge instantly.
Since Chu Hao doesn't want to take action, then let him do it.
At first, the Qi was like a faint light hidden in the darkness, slowly moving along his meridians and veins, causing a layer of faint ripples in the surrounding air.
As he muttered something, he quickly formed seals with his hands. The Qi in his palms became increasingly dense, condensing into two cyclones emitting light purple light, just like two mini purple stars, flashing and constantly rotating.
"Hah!" Zhuge Heping let out a low shout, and the cyclone in his palm suddenly exploded, transforming into countless purple flame threads, which leaped towards the surface of Yuquan's water like nimble snakes.
As soon as these purple flame threads came into contact with the air, they instantly burst into flames, and the originally clear air was illuminated with a bright purple color.
In the blink of an eye, countless purple flame threads intertwined and gathered together, forming a huge purple sea of fire above the Jade Spring.
The flame was not an ordinary open flame. There were faint runes flashing in the flame, as if they were telling the secrets of time.
The temperature of the flames was extremely high, and heat waves spread out in all directions one after another. Wherever the flames reached, the grass and trees were burned to curl slightly, and the stones on the ground also began to become scorching hot.
The moment the Shangqing Purple Flame came into contact with the surface of the Jade Spring, a violent sizzling sound was heard, like countless hot irons being quenched. The water of the Jade Spring was instantly vaporized by the high temperature, and large pieces of white water vapor rose up, blending with the purple flames, forming a dreamlike and bizarre scene.
The water vapor became thicker and thicker, like a surging sea of clouds, completely covering the entire area around Yuquan.
The thick fog seemed to materialize, making it almost impossible to see things just a few feet away.
The purple Shangqing Ziyan was looming in the water vapor, and the light was refracted by the water vapor, emitting a magical and blurry halo.
Zhuge Heping tried his best to open his eyes in the mist, trying to see the situation around him clearly, but he could see nothing but a vast expanse of white.
In addition to the sizzling sound of the purple flame burning the water vapor, there is also the violent churning sound of the Jade Spring caused by the high temperature.
Just when the water vapor was extremely dense, a strange wind rose out of nowhere, like an invisible giant hand, quickly sweeping away the water vapor.
In the blink of an eye, his vision became clear again. Zhuge Heping was shocked to find that Chu Hao, who was standing beside him, had disappeared without a trace.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the surface of the Jade Spring was still emitting a wisp of hot steam, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream.
Zhuge Heping frowned, which was rare for him, his heart full of confusion and anxiety. Where is Chu Hao?
Is this... Chu Hao's plan?
But where did Chu Hao go? Why did he suddenly disappear when the water vapor dissipated?
Zhuge Heping was extremely anxious. He shouted loudly over and over again to the empty surroundings: "Brother Chu Hao! Brother Chu Hao!"
The sound echoed in the silent forest, but it only brought endless silence without any response.
He was unwilling to give up, so he turned to face Yuquan, quickly formed seals with his hands, and once again mobilized the Qi power in his body, trying to cast the Shangqing Ziyan.
Purple light flickered in his palm, but when the flame touched Yuquan, there was no reaction.
The surface of Yuquan was as calm as a mirror, as if the intense scene just now had never happened.
Zhuge Heping frowned, his heart full of doubts and worries.
After thinking it over again and again, he gritted his teeth, pushed the ground hard with his feet, and jumped straight into the Jade Spring like a black arrow.
Zhuge Heping was in Yuquan, however, Yuquan seemed like a pool of stagnant water, with no movement at all.
He knew that he had to do something to break the deadlock.
So, Zhuge Heping took a deep breath, forced down the fear and uneasiness in his heart, and circulated the Qi throughout his body.
The Qi flowed rapidly in his body like a rushing river, and wherever it passed, his meridians glowed with bright purple light.
As he continued to urge it, every pore in his body seemed to light up, and purple light emanated from every pore, illuminating the small area of water around him.
Then, Zhuge Heping shouted suddenly, and the sound spread dully in the water.
In an instant, purple flames of supreme purity burst out from his entire body.
The purple flame burned fiercely in the water, but was not extinguished by the water. Instead, it reflected the surrounding water into a mysterious purple color.
The flames spread along the direction of the water flow, and every place that came into contact with the water made a sizzling sound, as if water and fire were engaged in a fierce battle.
As expected, with the appearance of Shangqing Zi Yan, the strange white mist appeared again in Yuquan.
White mist slowly rose from the bottom of the water. At first it was as thin as a veil, but in the blink of an eye it became thick.
They spread wildly in the water, interweaving with the purple flames, and soon completely enveloped Zhuge Heping.
Visibility dropped sharply, and he could only vaguely see the purple flame emanating from his body. Everything else was swallowed up by the white mist. An unknown fear quietly crept into his heart.
As the strange white fog grew thicker, Zhuge Heping tried to steady himself, but an inexplicably strong suction force suddenly came from the depths of the white fog.
Before he could react, he was pulled in uncontrollably by the force like a leaf in the wind.
Zhuge Heping struggled hard, trying to grab something to break free from the suction, but there was only empty white mist around him.
His shouts were quickly swallowed up by the white mist and soon became silent.
In a flash, Zhuge Heping's figure completely disappeared from Yuquan, as if he had never appeared.
After Zhuge Heping disappeared, the white fog quickly dissipated like the ebbing tide.
Yuquan returned to calm again. The sunlight shone on the water, making it sparkle like a huge mirror.
A breeze blew by, creating ripples on the water surface, which looked harmless.
No one could have imagined that such a strange scene had just happened here.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Hao and Zhuge Heping also disappeared.
In the camp, the atmosphere was gloomy and everyone's faces were filled with panic and anxiety, fearing that they would be the next person to go missing!
Teacher Wang Zhiyao looked gentle but firm as she tried to calm everyone's panic.
"Students, don't panic. Let's head to the third rest stop, where safety is guaranteed and supplies are plentiful."
Her voice was gentle yet powerful, spreading slowly in the noisy camp.
Led by Wang Zhiyao, everyone arrived at the third encampment point.
However, the leader of the third station also sent a message: "Teacher Wang, it's bad! Please ask your classmates if they have seen Zhuge Heping and Chu Hao. Chu Hao and Zhuge Heping are missing and we can't find them no matter how hard we look!"
These words were like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.
Wang Zhiyao's expression changed slightly and her brows furrowed. She knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Are you sure? When did you find out they were missing?" Wang Zhiyao asked hurriedly.
The teacher gasped and replied, "It's been several days. I've looked everywhere for them, but there's no sign of them."
"Don't panic yet, let's look carefully, maybe they just went to the nearby area."
Despite saying this, everyone had an ominous feeling in their hearts.
Sure enough, the next day, the people who were originally at the third garrison also disappeared.
"Oh my god, even the teacher can disappear? This... This!!"
The teacher was already the most powerful person among them, but now, the teacher disappeared without a word, evaporating from the face of the earth.
Many people immediately withdrew from the Youyou Mountain operation.
