Chapter 403 Jin Lin is missing

Qiao Xixi's expression changed slightly. She suddenly took out a bone knife and stabbed it fiercely at Xi Jing in front of her.

Xi Jing stared at her in disbelief, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"Xixi...why..."

The panic in Qiao Xixi's eyes gradually faded, replaced by extreme coldness and indifference.

“They are always watching my every move. When they hear me speak, I don’t even need to say anything. Fei Yan will respond to me on his own instead of waiting for me to turn around and find him.”

The shock in Xi Jing's eyes gradually faded, and his handsome face instantly became ferocious and terrifying.

"Hehehe, you're quite clever, female, but anyone who enters this Thunder-Swallowing Forest will die, hahahaha."

"Xixi, Xixi!"

"Illusion, break!"

A familiar scent wafted to her nose, and Qiao Xixi suddenly opened her eyes to meet Jin Lin's worried gaze. Her eyes then shifted to Fei Yan and Jun Xiao, whose expressions were quite grim.

The moment she opened her eyes, Xi Jing's palm slowly landed on her brow. She felt a surge of power, like the ocean, flowing into her body, completely dispelling her fatigue.

"Xixi?"

Jin Lin helped Qiao Xixi sit up, his hot, large hand grasping her cold one.

Qiao Xixi leaned against him and breathed softly, "What happened to me just now?"

Xi Jing removed her hand only after seeing that Xi Xi's expression had returned to normal. "Xi Xi, you suddenly collapsed on Jin Lin and fell asleep. We couldn't wake you up no matter what we did."

Josie was incredulous; she had no idea about it.

“XiXi, you were just trapped in an illusion. I can feel a power surrounding you.”

Qiao Xixi nodded and told them everything that had happened in the illusion.

The males' faces darkened upon hearing this.

They clearly sensed the presence of that dark power, but they couldn't capture it, and Xi Jing could only drive it away.

"I'm fine now. This must have been caused by those monsters in the forest. Let's hurry up and leave."

"Ah."

Our immediate priority is to reach the watchtower.

Josie's recent experience weighed heavily on the hearts of the males, indicating that the dangers in the forest were far greater than they had imagined.

Therefore, when setting off again, Falcon Owl directly released the beast soul energy on its body to intimidate those monsters.

I didn't do that before because I wanted to save energy and avoid encountering difficult monsters.

For Josh's safety, we have no choice but to do this now.

As soon as they left, a thick white fog drifted into the dim forest.

"These orcs are quite capable to break my illusion. I love playing with capable orcs, hahaha."

The further you go, the dimmer the light becomes in the woods.

Fei Yan and the others could only use sea pearls for lighting. If it weren't for the map, Qiao Xixi felt that with the current light, they would have no chance of finding their way to the watchtower.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xi Jing suddenly spoke up: "I heard the sound of water."

Xi Jing is a merman and is very sensitive to water. Falcon and the others did not notice it, but Xi Jing said there was, so there must be water flowing nearby.

Sure enough, after they walked a little further, the surrounding light suddenly brightened by several degrees, and a wide river appeared before them.

“I remember we had to cross this river.”

Kunlin looked at the width of the river; he could easily fly and carry them across one by one.

"I'll take you there."

As Kunlin spoke, he transformed into his beast form and gestured for Qiao Xixi and the others to go up.

Falcon went to Kunlin first, saying, "I'll go check the situation first."

Kunlin nodded, and the falcon nimbly jumped onto his back. He flapped his wings and flew towards the other side of the river.

Soon, Kunlin returned safely.

"Who wants to go first?" Jin Lin pulled Qiao Xixi forward. "Xixi and I."

Kunlin nodded, and after Jin Lin and Qiao Xixi were settled on his back, he took flight again.

Looking down into the river from the sky, you can see that the water is a dark green color, making it impossible to see what's inside.

Just as Qiao Xixi was about to look away, she saw a familiar figure bobbing up and down in the water.

"Is that Lord Huangyue?"

Upon hearing this, Kunlin looked down and immediately saw Huang Yue thrashing about in the water.

However, they were all cautious. After what happened to Qiao Xixi, who had been bewitched into an illusion, Kunlin did not rashly lower its altitude. Instead, it remained steadily in mid-air, observing the figure splashing in the water.

But soon, his expression changed. "It's the city lord!"

"How can you be sure that it's the city lord himself?"

"I saw his fingers stained red with the juice when he ate the fruit."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xixi looked closely and indeed saw that when Huang Yue was flapping his arms, his fingers had a faint red tinge.

Kunlin wanted to take Qiao Xixi and the others to the other side first, but Huang Yue was about to sink.

Qiao Xixi sensed his hesitation and took the initiative to say, "Let's go closer and see what's going on."

Kunlin nodded and lunged downwards.

Soon, he rushed to the surface of the river, but strangely enough, Huang Yue, who had just been struggling in the water, suddenly disappeared.

"City Lord."

"Lord of Huangyue City."

The river was eerily calm.

Just as Kunlin was about to ascend to a higher altitude, a hand suddenly reached out from the river and forcefully grabbed Kunlin's claw.

Kunlin was startled and flapped its wings, trying to fly into the sky, but the opponent's strength was so great that it couldn't break free at all.

"Xixi, hold on tight to Kunlin."

Jin Lin released Qiao Xixi and bent down to check. Sure enough, he saw a pair of hands tightly gripping Kunlin. Those hands were the same hands that Huang Yue had seen from above.

Jin Lin pulled out the bone knife from his body and threw it at those hands.

But it was as if the other party had eyes in its hands; as soon as the knife flew over, it quickly dodged it.

If this continues, Kunlin will definitely be dragged into the water.

"I'll go down and deal with it."

"No, Jin Lin, we have no idea what the underwater conditions are like. Don't go into the water rashly."

Qiao Xixi let go of his hand, took out a bubble fruit from her body, and handed it to Jin Lin.

"Bomb it."

Jin Lin took the bubble fruit, nodded, and then turned around and threw it into the water.

The sound of explosions rang out.

Water splashed everywhere, wetting Josie's face, and she had to close her eyes to avoid the splashing river water.

The river suddenly churned and turned increasingly green, but fortunately, the strange hands were also blown off.

After escaping its predicament, Kunlin immediately soared into the sky, carrying Qiao Xixi and the others safely to the other side.

As soon as Kunlin landed, Jin Lin jumped down with Qiao Xixi in his arms.

"Wait here, I'll go and bring Fei Yan and the others over."

Josh nodded. "Be careful."

Kunlin stared straight at her, a strange light flashing in his eyes, but he quickly forced himself to look away.

"I'll be fine." With that, he soared into the sky once more.

Qiao Xixi turned around, just as she was about to speak to Jin Lin, only to find that he had disappeared!
