Just like Zheng Qing, not long after entering the Magic Mirror passage, Xiao Xiao lost contact with the companion ahead of him.
But unlike Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao had no chance to turn around and hug the companion behind him—because before this, the unreliable team leader had already let go.
So he could only drop into Dreamland, all on his own.
Fortunately, the place where Xiao Xiao landed was a large river with gentle waters. He didn't even have to waste the Spell copied from the Law book, merely flailing his arms to paddle a bit, and he swam ashore from the river.
As he stood on the bank, took off his robe, and wrung out the heavy traces of water from the robe, his surroundings had all been imprinted in his mind.
