The two retreated, clearly becoming much more cautious.
They walked for about a quarter of an hour, just as they were about to exit the withered forest.
Before Ji Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Qu Luoning suddenly let out a cry of surprise beside him.
Then, suddenly, a flash of white light erupted beneath her feet, and she began to fall.
Ji Chen was startled and instinctively reached out to grab her.
However, the force pulling down was so immense that it dragged Ji Chen in along with her.
The sensation of weightlessness spread throughout his body, his vision replaced by a blur of white and gray.
Ji Chen couldn't see a thing, only feeling himself falling at an alarming speed.
When this speed reached a certain limit, he felt a heaviness in his chest and eventually lost consciousness, passing out.
"Hmm?"
Semi-conscious, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Ji Chen awoke.
