Chapter 175 Dark Shadow
By this time the sun had completely set and there were not many people in the market. The three knew that within a quarter of an hour it would be completely dark.

If I use Qinggong to fly back now, I can just get back to the academy before it gets completely dark.

But Pan Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then decided to go back.

"I still believe in God. Since He said that the person is on this road, then he is most likely there." Pan Yun said, "Look for him along the way. His disguise skills are pretty good. It's hard to find him by chance."

Miaozhen Miaohe agreed and paid more attention to the dense forests on both sides of the road when walking back.

During this time, there were only a few students on the road. They were walking very fast, obviously wanting to get back to the academy before it got completely dark.

There were also people who walked slowly like Pan Yun and the others, but there were quite a few of them, and they walked in groups.

There are more people and more courage, so we are not afraid even when it is dark.

When Pan Jun saw them, he quickened his pace and followed them slowly.

Miaozhenmiaohe hurriedly followed and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was safer with more people.

The five young men walking in front also felt it and couldn't help but look back.

Because it was dark, they couldn't see Pan Yun and the others' faces clearly, but they could see their academy uniforms and their body shapes.

At first glance, they are obviously classmates who are younger than them.

Immediately, some young men slowed down their pace to allow Pan Yun and the others to catch up.

Pan Jun raised her eyebrows when she saw them. When they turned around, she wanted to go up to them and say hello, and go back together, but now she changed her mind.

It's better to be neither too close nor too far away and live in peace, but I have to give up a lot of socializing.

Pan Jun doesn't like to talk either.

She is an introvert.

As night fell, the wind felt a little cooler on his body, the heat dissipated, and Pan Jun's slightly irritable heart was instantly soothed, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

The darkness came unexpectedly, like a shadow covering the moon, just like a huge dark cloud covering the moon that was just barely showing a little light.

A gust of wind blew by, and she heard the laughter of the young men in front of her. "This wind is so comfortable. I thought it would be better to leave later in the day. It's so hot during the day, I feel like I'm going to melt..."

Pan Yun threw the black cat on his shoulder into Miao Zhen's arms, "Protect them."

Before she finished her words, she had already chased the wind and flashed into the dense forest.

Miao Zhen screamed, "Little Master Uncle!"

The young men walking in front turned around, only to see the corner of Pan Yun's clothes disappearing, and hurriedly ran up to ask, "Junior sister, what happened to you?"

Miao Zhen glared at them, "Fools, you didn't even know you lost a person!"

The boys were stunned, and looked at each other, then they realized that they were missing one person, their eyes widened, "Where is He Jie?"

"No, I don't know. He was here just now, and he was talking to me..."

Miao Zhen: "A dark shadow took him away, and my junior master-master chased after him."

"Then let's go too."

Miao He stopped them and said, "Don't go. My junior master is very powerful. If we go, we will be a burden. It's better for us to stay here and wait."

Miao Zhen also nodded, "No one is allowed to leave."

"You said you can't leave, so you can't leave. We don't know what monster took He Jie away. We have to go and save him. You must be afraid to stay here."

Miao He still stood in front of them and said earnestly, "No, my master said that people who are not good at fighting should stay away from such things and not drag them down. You are also freshmen, you must not have learned much skills. You don't even know that you have lost a person. What's the point of going there?"

"We are in the same grade. What grade is your junior uncle in? I think she is younger than us!"

"She is also a freshman, but..."

"Wait a minute," a young man finally reacted and looked Miao Zhen and Miao He up and down, "I recognize you, you, you are the three from Sanqing Mountain..."

Miao Zhen glared and asked, "Three what?"

"…Three heroes."

Miaozhen: “Humph!”

Miaohe: “Humph!”

"Then the one who is going to chase He Jie is Pan Jun!" The boys felt relieved instantly.

They knew Pan Yun.

During the entrance examination, her swordsmanship was better than that of her senior brother Zhang Weiyi, who was in the fifth grade.

But her most notable achievement was seriously injuring her fourth-year senior brothers Nong Zhiyi and Dai Yong, and questioning Dean Zhang and Hall Master Lin in public.

Although they did not see it with their own eyes, they heard about it countless times, and they even went to watch the trial meeting.

Nong Zhiyi and Dai Yong are both in a miserable situation.

Dai Yong was awake now, but he looked a little dazed.

Sanqingshan said that he had the intelligence of an eight-year-old, but no one quite believed it.

He looks only four or five years old.

But the abbot of Sanqing Mountain also said that it can grow again after being cured.

She disabled two people by herself.

The boys' confidence grew, and they wanted to go in even more, "Let's go help her." Miao Zhen: "Just don't hold her back."

"Just to broaden your horizons. Besides, aren't you curious about what took He Jie away?"

"That thing can capture people without anyone noticing, and it may be even more powerful. We'd better not go there," said another young man, "Why don't we hurry back to the academy and call the teachers over."

Miaozhen was a steady child. After a brief thought, she also felt that this method was better, so she said, "Let's go back to the academy to get help."

"Just abandon He Jie and Pan Yun like this? That's too disloyal..."

"Don't talk about loyalty anymore, just go away." Although the young man was hot-blooded, he also knew the importance of the matter. They didn't even know when and how He Jie was lost. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if they rushed in?
The four of them surrounded Miao Zhen and Miao He and ran quickly towards the academy.

At this time, Pan Yun was following a black shadow moving in the forest. Just before it was about to approach the mountain, it suddenly stopped, grabbed the person in its hand, turned around and ran in another direction.

Pan Jun stepped on the branches and landed on the place where it had landed. He turned his head to look at the place where it had just looked, frowned slightly, and continued to chase the black shadow.

Pan Xiaohei was screaming in her mind, "Too far, too far, I'm going to die——"

But after a while, it stopped barking, and Pan Jun could also feel that Pan Xiaohei was approaching her.

As soon as Pan Jun saw the direction the black shadow was moving, he knew something was wrong. His face darkened and he poured his energy into his legs and flew forward quickly.

The wind was whistling in my ears, the trees were rapidly retreating, and a black shadow flew out of the dense forest. Pan Jun followed closely behind it and slapped it on the back. At the same time, two talismans flew out to block the middle of the road.

The black shadow paused and turned to kill Pan Yun...

The six young men who were rushing to the academy suddenly stopped and were stopped by the talismans flying in the air.

Pan Yun fought with it four or five times in an instant, and his hands touched He Jie several times. He tried to snatch him from it, but was blocked every time.

The boys saw it was a black mass and screamed, "He, he, he, he is a ghost!"

"Wenjie is fainted, hurry up and cast the talisman."

Although they were Taoists and had learned how to catch ghosts and monsters, they had never put it into practice. They frantically took out talismans and lit them up and threw them at the monster without caring what they were.

Fortunately, they knew to throw it out only after it was triggered.

Pan Yun flipped over and flew away, dodging the talismans that were thrown at him. He did not blame them for not throwing them accurately. As soon as he landed, the black shadow holding Wen Jie happened to rush over. His legs stood still like a compass, and his body drew a semicircle close to the ground like a compass to avoid it. He instantly raised his head and slapped it hard with his palm.

The hand slapped the entity through the black mist, and it was instantly knocked away. At the same time, Pan Jun stretched out his left hand and hit his elbow hard, catching the falling Wenjie. He kicked with his feet and instantly retreated more than ten steps with Wenjie and left the battle circle.

The young men were working hard to deal with the black shadow that was knocked away. Miaozhen threw out a thunder talisman, made some gestures and chanted a spell. A thunderbolt came down from the sky, brushing against the black shadow and hitting the ground.

A pit was dug out on the ground. The young men exclaimed "Wow" and took out their thunder talismans one after another. However, while they were still making hand gestures and chanting spells, a black shadow suddenly sank into the black forest and disappeared.

The boys screamed and wanted to rush in, but the unknown dense forest was like the mouth of a ferocious beast. Several of them stopped in their tracks and dared not move forward.

Pan Yun put the unconscious Wenjie on the ground, and several people turned around and rushed over, asking with concern: "Is Wenjie okay?"

Pan Yun touched his neck and said, "He still has a pulse and is breathing. He is not dead."

"Move aside, let me do it." Miaohe squeezed in, took out her own needle bag, felt his pulse, then pulled out a needle and pricked his hand.

Wenjie's body twitched on the spot, then slowly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, dark shadows surrounded him, leaving only a pair of shining eyes exposed, as if they were going to devour him the next moment.

His mouth trembled, "Ghost, ghost..."

A demon with bared fangs and claws slapped him, "Wenjie, don't be afraid..."

"what--"

After the screams of fear, everyone fell silent.

In the darkness, Wenjie asked tentatively, "Xia Wenchen?"

"What do you think I am?"

Pan Yun had already taken out the fire starter and blew it up.

In the dim light of the fire, the young Wenjie saw that he was surrounded by his friends.

Tears burst out of his eyes and he hugged them, "I was scared to death, there was a monster, did you see it?"

"I saw it. It took you away, and then Senior Sister Pan... Senior Sister Pan chased it out and rescued you."

Pan Yun raised her chin towards everyone, acknowledged the title of Senior Sister, and asked, "Miaohe, is he okay?"

"It's okay, I was just knocked unconscious."

Pan Yun: "It's OK as long as you are alright, let's go back to the academy as soon as possible."

Xia Wenchen: "Senior Sister Pan, aren't we going to catch that monster?"

"That's right. If we let it out there, wouldn't it bring disaster to the village?"

Pan Yun: "I have to catch him. If you weren't here, I would have done it now. But you are here, so saving your lives is more important."

"Send you back to the academy and report to the academy. The academy will handle this matter."

Pan Yun was a graduate student in his previous life, and he often encountered such things when he was out on field trips, so he knew exactly how to deal with them.

We must first ensure the safety of the students, and the school will handle the follow-up.

Miao Zhen and the others didn't quite think so. "Uncle Junior, could Chen Ziwu also be in the hands of that shadow?"

"There are still people in the monster's hands? We have more people, why don't we go in together to rescue them?"
