After climbing ashore, Shan Nan immediately used his internal energy to dry their clothes, preventing them from leaving any traces during their escape.
Then, they all fled several miles west into the dense forest. 138 Reading Network
Confirming they were temporarily safe, Shan Nan said urgently.
"While we have the chance, Han Lang, quickly, disguise us!"
Han Lang understood Shan Nan's intention.
By disguising themselves now, they could openly head directly to the cities in the southwest of the Bai Xiang Kingdom.
At that point, they could completely blend in with the populace.
Even if Dr. Sim and the Bai Xiang Kingdom's army discovered they hadn't returned to Xia Guo, they wouldn't be able to find their tracks for a while.
Meanwhile, the superhumans on the other side were in a state of utter panic after losing track of Han Lang and his group.
With no other choice, they followed Dr. Sim's instructions, setting up roadblocks on the essential routes between the dense forest and the Xia Guo border, while also beginning a large-scale search of the entire lake.
After several days of investigation, Allen and Smith, who were responsible for searching the lake, found nothing.
At this point, Allen had almost completely lost his patience.
He said to Smith with a mournful expression.
"Smith, we've been searching for days with no trace. Do you think those Xia Guo cultivators could still be hiding in this lake?"
Allen's question was almost rhetorical.
Smith also knew that after such a meticulous search without finding any clues, it was highly probable that Han Lang and his group had already escaped.
"But there's been no discovery on the Xia Guo border either! Even with their speed, they couldn't have escaped before we set up the roadblocks, right?"
Allen was speechless upon hearing this.
What Smith said was correct.
From here, heading north through the dense forest and crossing the essential passage to Xia Guo, even for high-level superhumans like them, it was impossible to do it so quickly.
Moreover, several people in Han Lang's group were weaker than them.
Therefore, Allen understood that the possibility of Han Lang and his group escaping back to Xia Guo was not high.
However, if they hadn't escaped, where were they hiding?
Could they still be hiding in this dense forest like before?
Thinking about this, his head began to ache.
He repeatedly inquired.
"Why don't we ask the Doctor for his opinion again! Continuing the search with such great effort is also a huge drain on us!"
Smith nodded immediately upon hearing this. He quickly called a communicator and reported his and Allen's suspicions to Dr. Sim.
Upon receiving this news, Dr. Sim naturally flew into a rage again.
But no matter how angry he was, he was helpless against Han Lang and his group now.
With no other recourse, he could only order.
"Expand the search area with the lake as the center. If you still can't find any traces, you should withdraw. We still need to focus more manpower on rebuilding the superhuman base!"
Hearing this, Smith repeatedly agreed.
Allen was also helpless and had to continue organizing personnel to conduct a wider search.
Time passed quickly.
A month later.
Under Shan Nan's arrangements, even though they were in a foreign land, the group could easily find an inconspicuous residence in the city.
They could even obtain identification documents of Bai Xiang Kingdom residents through unconventional means.
With these, they could completely become legitimate citizens of the Bai Xiang Kingdom.
After establishing themselves firmly, Han Lang and the others finally broke free from their entanglement with the Bai Xiang Kingdom's army and the superhumans.
Although their words and actions were still cautious, after a month of learning and observation, they had completely grasped the daily lives of ordinary Bai Xiang Kingdom residents.
Of course, during this period, Han Lang also refined a new batch of Baoling Pills.
Besides giving a small portion to Shan Nan and Liu Xiao Xiao for emergencies, the rest were divided equally among Tang Geng and the others.
Their cultivation must not stop!
Deep in enemy territory, they had to be prepared for battle at all times, and any improvement in strength was beneficial.
In addition, Tang Geng, Ma Long, and Tang Qin, who had learned the Tian Yan Fa from Han Lang, had also cultivated their martial arts to a higher level.
However, Han Lang's Shen Nong Yu Zhen Jue had not made much progress.
According to the requirements of the technique, he had to break through the Nascent Soul stage to cultivate and control twelve golden needles simultaneously.
Therefore, besides envying Tang Geng and the others, he had no way to achieve a qualitative leap in his own strength.
Of course.
Zhao Wu, Shan Nan, and Liu Xiao Xiao were equally envious of Han Lang.
They had not practiced the Tian Yan Fa.
Therefore, even Shan Nan, who was the strongest, couldn't help but marvel at the speed at which Tang Geng and the other three cultivated their martial arts.
It was known that in the world of cultivators, cultivation levels could be rapidly achieved through effort and talent.
However, techniques and martial arts were different.
Apart from comprehending it bit by bit and practicing it repeatedly, there were almost no other shortcuts.
It was precisely for this reason that even Shan Nan's martial arts and techniques did not keep pace with his cultivation level.
Seeing their envious expressions.
Han Lang naturally did not hold back.
He directly taught them the heaven-defying skill, Tian Yan Fa.
When they tried it with doubt and disbelief, each of them was astonished.
"Holy crap! This is too awesome! I never imagined that our great Xia Guo would have such a heaven-defying technique!"
Shan Nan, who had always paid attention to his image, even began to curse after tasting the benefits.
Even Liu Xiao Xiao looked at Han Lang with surprise.
"I truly can't imagine it! Han Lang, besides your heaven-defying ability as Shen Nong Tian Yi, how many more secrets are you hiding from us!"
Although Zhao Wu was also surprised, he had been with Han Lang and the group for a longer time, so his demeanor was much more stable than Liu Xiao Xiao and the others.
But even so, he couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.
"I now realize how unwise it was to make that bet with you back then! I concede, I am completely convinced!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Shan Nan joyfully declared.
"In a few days, my Cang Qiong Ba Ti Jue will be perfected. I dare say that the muscular X-class superhuman I encountered last time will no longer be my opponent, haha..."
After a burst of joy, the group brought the topic back.
Shan Nan asked first.
"Have there been any new developments from the superhumans recently?"
Ma Long was responsible for reconnaissance long-term.
Hearing this question, he quickly replied.
"It's the same as usual. With the full cooperation of the Bai Xiang Kingdom, the construction of the new base has begun. I estimate that in another three to four months, the new base will be completed. At that time, Dr. Sim will definitely accelerate the modification of superhumans!"
Ma Long's report was largely in line with the group's previous expectations.
Although a month ago, they had destroyed a base, causing significant losses to Dr. Sim and the Bai Xiang Kingdom.
However, for a country, this was still just a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, they were not surprised that the superhuman base was under construction.
Shan Nan continued to ask.
"Anything else? Are they still actively hunting us?"
