Chapter 104 The Shadows' Escape

Before the other three could respond, Fang Yue took the lead and ran towards the light source that marked the exit.

But after running for a while, Fang Yue noticed something.

The light source of the exit was gradually shrinking.

It was as if… the more they ran, the further they got from the exit!

His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the other three. He saw that they were also looking at the light source with terrified expressions, clearly realizing what was happening.

The four exchanged glances and stopped in tacit agreement. The light source representing the exit continued to shrink in the distance!

The consequences of that light source completely disappearing were self-evident.

"Ye-ge, what do we do?"

Looking at the gazes focused on him, Fang Yue's expression darkened.

"...Light it up, and rush out!"

This was a desperate gamble!

Taking back the fluorescent pearl, Fang Yue once again ignited and circulated the Fierce Flame Heart Sutra.

Boom! !

Flames soared into the sky, illuminating the room.

Almost the moment the flames ignited, the four began sprinting towards the exit.

As the four ran wildly, the shadows beneath their feet changed dramatically. They struggled, tore, and faintly disconnected from their bodies.

Fang Yue was the strongest and fastest of the four.

Just as the shadow under his feet was about to break its connection, Fang Yue burst out of the door.

He also reached out towards Wei Ba, who was about to rush out of the room.

But just as Wei Ba's hand was about to touch Fang Yue…

*Crack.*

Wei Ba's shadow disconnected from her body.

As Wei Ba was slightly stunned, Fang Yue grabbed her hand and pulled her out.

Next to emerge was Hai Ming, his face pale.

And running last was Liao Mo Ran, crying and wiping her tears.

Her shadow had already left her body before she even reached the halfway point.

All these shadows, separated from their bodies, moved swiftly and disappeared from their sight.

"Wuwuwu! My shadow, the shadow that's been with me for sixteen years! Wuwuwu! Am I going to die soon? Captain Ye, I have a wish before I die. I haven't had a boyfriend yet, and I don't know what kissing feels like. Can you kiss me? Wuwuwu!"

Liao Mo Ran cried and pouted, trying to kiss Fang Yue, who covered her face with a dark expression.

"It's just the shadow that's gone. Aren't you still okay? Don't worry so much."

Saying that, Fang Yue looked at the somewhat flustered Wei Ba, "Do you feel any discomfort after losing your shadow? Is this a strange curse or some other state? Tell me about it."

Hearing Fang Yue's words, Wei Ba calmed down slightly.

After all, in her mind, this was still a game.

Losing a shadow in the game was a little scary, but not to the point of life and death.

"There are no prompts, it doesn't look like a strange curse. Other than that, I don't feel anything for now."

Losing her shadow seemed to be just that, losing her shadow.

"That's good. What about you two?"

Hai Ming shook his head with a grimace. Clearly, he didn't have any problems either. Liao Mo Ran pushed away Fang Yue's hand, glared at Fang Yue, and said angrily, "I, I'm fine for now too! But without shadows, are we still human? Will I turn into something weird?"

Dream on!

If it were so easy to become a weird creature, why would people even bother researching it!

Fang Yue ignored Liao Mo Ran and glanced at his own stable shadow under his feet, stroking his chin.

"Where do you think the shadows will escape to? This is a closed ruin. They've separated from their bodies, so they can only flee within the ruin, right?"

Wei Ba nodded, "Yes, so we still have a chance to take back our shadows…"

Wei Ba's expression suddenly changed, and she paused.

The next moment, she spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wah!" A '-55' damage notification appeared above her head.

"Wei Ba?!"

"Goddess Wei Ba?!"

"Hey! You, don't scare me!"

Fang Yue and Hai Ming exclaimed almost simultaneously, and Liao Mo Ran was trembling in fear.

Wei Ba felt her vision blur and her body went limp, almost falling.

Fortunately, Fang Yue supported her and leaned her against his shoulder. She weakly looked up, "Ye-ge…"

"Don't be afraid! I still have some healing medicine. Take it all, don't worry about the pill toxins. Also, I'll go find your shadow right away. Hold on!"

Fang Yue's expression was ugly as he fed Wei Ba the medicine anxiously.

Only when he was alone in the wilderness did Fang Yue truly feel the importance of medicine.

Without the Breath of the Night, any small thing could lead to him popping pills like drinking water! If he didn't take them, he would die. If he took them, he would lose lifespan from pill toxins. It was torture!

Unlike Fang Yue, Wei Ba didn't have the healing effect of the Breath of the Night, nor did she have Fang Yue's realm and strength.

Without entering the martial path, she only had 100 health points at most!

The sudden injury directly took away half her health. Another hit and she would definitely die.

And with extreme pill consumption, Wei Ba's pitiful lifespan couldn't withstand the pill toxins.

This was a dilemma.

Although Fang Yue fed her healing medicine, he didn't dare to give her too much, and could only let her slowly recover.

"You two watch over her, I'll go find the shadows!"

Fang Yue turned to leave, but Wei Ba reached out and grabbed him.

"Ye-ge… don't go. Even if we find the shadows, we don't know how to return them to our bodies."

Wei Ba felt her body getting weaker and weaker. Experiencing this feeling in a game was still making her uncomfortable. It felt like suffering while playing a game.

"If I don't go, all three of you will die!"

Liao Mo Ran and Hai Ming visibly trembled upon hearing this.

Clearly, they also knew that if Wei Ba, who had lost her shadow, was experiencing this, they would naturally be the same!

Just as Hai Ming was thinking, he suddenly felt his vision gradually darken. His expression changed and he shouted.

"Captain Ye, Captain Ye, I can't see! I'm blind! I'm blind!"

But what he heard in his ear was the stern scolding of his old mother.

"Blind your big head! How many times have I told you, told you to get up for a night run, told you to get up for a night run, but you just won't listen! Still playing games, still playing games, if you play games again, I'll smash your game watch!"

Hai Ming: ??!!!

His brain blanked for a moment before he realized that his mom had taken off his game watch!

He was now in his own room in reality!!

Damn it!!

In the game, it was a critical moment of life and death.

Hai Ming quickly hugged his mother's leg: "Mom!! Let me play for ten more minutes, ten minutes!!"

"No! We agreed to go for a night run at a set time. What time is it now, and you're still in the game! Game watch confiscated for a day, now go for a night run! Don't even think about playing games until you bring back a long-distance running championship from the school competition!"

"Don't!!"

Hai Ming's screams echoed in the room.

"How could this happen, God, Mom, be more understanding, I'm vomiting!! I'm going crazy!!"
