Chapter 18 The Woman in the Cave
Shen Lang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, looked at Xing Tianzi firmly, and said: "It's just... I don't think I can be protected like this all the time. I want to go to Wutong County first, where there may be an opportunity for me to break through."
Xing Tianzi was slightly startled, staring at Shen Lang closely, as if considering his determination.
After a long time, Xing Tianzi slowly nodded and said: "Okay, Shen Lang, your master agrees to let you go. But you must remember to be careful in everything and never act rashly."
Shen Lang's eyes flashed with excitement, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely act cautiously."
Liu Jian said worriedly on the side: "Shen Lang, Wutong County is not like the sect, the situation there is complicated, you must be more careful."
Shen Lang nodded heavily, "Senior Brother Liu Jian, I know, I will take good care of myself."
After recovering from his injury, Shen Lang began to pack his luggage and prepared to set off for Wutong County.
Xing Tianzi looked at Shen Lang's figure, with both expectations for him and a little worry in his heart.
When Shen Lang was ready, he turned around resolutely and walked towards Wutong County.
When he stepped into this land, a repressive atmosphere came to his face.
He frowned and looked around vigilantly, with a vague ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, not long after walking, he found that there were monsters everywhere.
These monsters were in various shapes and rushed towards him with their fangs and claws.
Shen Lang's face sank, and he clenched the sword in his hand and whispered: "Come on, let me meet you today!"
After that, he flashed and rushed into the group of monsters, with the sword flickering, and started a fierce fight with the monsters.
"Beast, die!" Shen Lang roared, and each sword was accompanied by a sharp sword energy.
A monster roared and pounced on him, Shen Lang dodged sideways, and stabbed its vitals with a sword, and the monster fell down screaming.
But more monsters continued to pour in.
Shen Lang gradually felt a little exhausted, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
At this time, a huge monster appeared in front of him, exuding a powerful aura, which made Shen Lang feel nervous.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, I will not retreat!" Shen Lang said with gritted teeth.
He used all his skills to deal with this powerful monster.
In the fierce battle, Shen Lang found the weakness of this monster. He seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster's eyes with a sword.
The monster roared in pain, fell to the ground and struggled for a few times before it stopped moving.
Seeing this, other monsters seemed to feel Shen Lang's strength and began to retreat.
Shen Lang took the opportunity to chop fiercely and eliminated the remaining monsters one by one.
At this time, Shen Lang stood in the middle of the monster corpses on the ground. His breathing was still a little rapid, but his eyes were shining with excitement.
After this fierce actual battle, he really felt that he had accumulated valuable experience in fighting monsters.
He slowly stood up, looked around, and thought about every detail of the battle just now.
The attack methods and weaknesses of those monsters were deeply imprinted in his mind like a brand.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and began to silently practice his skills.
He could clearly feel that with the baptism of this actual combat, his skills seemed to become more and more perfect.
Every time the breath flowed more smoothly, the feeling of power surging in the body became clearer.
He gently grasped the sword in his hand, and the sword manual emerged in his mind.
Now, he has learned three of the moves, and they have also exerted their due power in the battle just now.
"Although these three moves are powerful, they are far from enough." Shen Lang whispered, "I want to become stronger and integrate all the moves in the sword manual."
Shen Lang continued to go deeper into the wilderness of Wutong County, always keeping vigilant in his heart.
Suddenly, he stopped in front of a cave because he vaguely sensed that there seemed to be movement inside.
He walked into the cave carefully, and in the weak light, he saw a pale woman leaning quietly against the cave wall.
Shen Lang's eyes were instantly attracted by the jade pendant tied around the woman's waist. He recognized it as the symbol of the Tuoba tribe at a glance, because he once knew Tuoba Moyu, and she also had the same accessories.
But Shen Lang pretended not to know her and did not show it.
The woman noticed someone coming, and immediately opened her eyes, raised her head, and looked at Shen Lang with cold eyes.
She said in an imperative tone: "You, take me away from here immediately and go to a safe place."
Shen Lang frowned, ignored her request, and turned to leave.
What a joke, why should he listen to her? He came here for a mission.
However, the next moment, he suddenly felt his throat tighten, and it was the woman who instantly locked his throat.
Shen Lang was full of surprise. This woman obviously had no spiritual power fluctuations, but he could not escape her attack.
"Ahem...what are you doing?" Shen Lang squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
The woman snorted coldly, "I asked you to take me away, but you dared to ignore me!"
Shen Lang endured the discomfort and said, "Why should I listen to you?"
"I can kill you right now." Tuoba Feng had no intention of letting go, "If you don't take me away, don't even think about leaving here alive."
Shen Lang secretly complained in his heart.
Shen Lang had no choice but to do as he was told, and walked out of the cave carefully with Tuoba Feng.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling!" Tuoba Feng shouted in a low voice.
Although Shen Lang was dissatisfied, he could only speed up his pace.
The two shuttled through the mountains and forests, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
As they walked, Shen Lang suddenly felt a chill of killing intent. He instantly became alert and whispered to Tuoba Feng: "Be careful, something is happening."
Tuoba Feng frowned.
Almost at the same time, several shadows appeared in front of them like ghosts.
"Humph, I finally found you!" The leading killer said coldly.
"It has nothing to do with me, I just did what she asked." Shen Lang explained hurriedly.
"Humph, no one wants to leave today!" The killer ignored Shen Lang's words.
After that, the killers attacked Tuoba Feng.
Seeing this, Shen Lang wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but a trace of pity inexplicably surged in his heart.
She is now completely powerless. If she encounters a killer with high martial arts skills, if she doesn't care, then there is no suspense at all, and she will die thoroughly?
He clenched the sword in his hand and whispered to Tuoba Feng: "I'll hold them back, and you find a chance to escape."
Tuoba Feng glanced at Shen Lang and said nothing, but there seemed to be a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.
"Want to run? That's not that easy!" The assassins attacked instantly.
Shen Lang waved his sword and rushed forward, blocking their way.
