Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

Lieyan's figure quickly shuttled through the dense forest, his eyes were piercing, staring at the target in front of him. It was an ancient stone tower, and his companion, Lan Ya, was imprisoned in the tower. At this time, she was imprisoned on the top floor of the stone tower by the minions of the dark forces and was in danger.

"Lan Ya, you must hold on, I will come to rescue you right away!" Lie Yan swore silently in his heart.

Lieyan quickly approached the stone tower, which was surrounded by patrols of dark soldiers. Lieyan approached silently, using the surrounding trees and shadows to hide his figure. When he approached the stone tower, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Who's there!"

Lieyan quickly hid behind a tree, holding his breath and observing the movements around him. He knew that he could not reveal his whereabouts now, otherwise the rescue operation would become more difficult. After the patrolling soldiers walked away, Lieyan continued to move forward and quietly sneaked into the stone tower.

The light in the stone tower was dim, the walls were covered with thick moss, and the air was filled with a damp smell. Lieyan held his breath and quietly went up the stairs. With every step he took, he was careful not to make any noise.

"Liyan, I'm here!" Suddenly, Liyan heard a faint cry. It was Lan Ya's voice, and although the voice was faint, he recognized it immediately.

"Lan Ya, here I come!" Lie Yan was delighted and quickened his pace. He rushed up the stairs and finally saw Lan Ya chained in a small room on the top floor.

"Lieyan, you are finally here!" There was a glimmer of hope in Lan Ya's eyes.

"Don't worry, I will rescue you right away." Lieyan said, pulling out a dagger from his waist and quickly cutting the chain.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the stone tower. It was obvious that the dark soldiers had discovered something unusual and were rushing over. Lieyan knew that time was running out. He took Lan Ya's hand and said, "Hurry, we have to leave here!"

The two quickly went downstairs, but as soon as they reached the entrance of the stone tower, they were blocked by a group of dark soldiers. The soldiers had ferocious faces and held sharp swords, ready to capture them all.

"It seems like we have no choice but to force our way in!" A cold light flashed in Lieyan's eyes. He tightly gripped the dagger in his hand, ready for battle.

"Liyan, let's attack together!" Lan Ya also took out her dagger and fought side by side with Lieyan.

Lieyan and Lan Ya rushed towards the dark soldiers like two flashes of lightning. Lieyan's dagger danced like the wind, and every move was deadly and accurate. Lan Ya's swordsmanship was light and swift, with both offense and defense. The two cooperated well and quickly repelled the enemy in front of them.

However, the battle was not over. More dark soldiers rushed over and surrounded them. Lieyan and Lan Ya fought side by side. Although they were outnumbered, their physical strength gradually declined and the situation became more and more critical.

At this moment, a figure descended from the sky and quickly joined the battle. It was Leng Xue, who was extremely agile, and the long sword in her hand drew silver light in the air. After she joined the battle, the situation immediately changed, and the dark soldiers fell one after another.

"Leng Xue, you're here just in time!" Lie Yan said in surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here quickly!" Leng Xue said coldly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

The three of them quickly broke out of the stone tower's encirclement. Lieyan and Lan Ya followed Leng Xue breathlessly, running towards safety.

"Lieyan, Lan Ya, are you okay?" Leng Xue turned around and asked with concern.

"We're fine, thanks to your timely arrival." Lieyan said gratefully.

"We must find a safe place to rest as soon as possible and then discuss our next plan." Lan Ya suggested.

"Okay, follow me." Leng Xue nodded and led them out of the dangerous area quickly.

After running for a while, the three finally found a hidden cave and temporarily hid from the pursuers. Lieyan and Lan Ya leaned against the stone wall of the cave, panting and adjusting their breathing.

"Leng Xue, how do you know we are here?" Lie Yan asked curiously.

"I have been following you secretly. I knew you would be in danger, so I came to support you in time." Leng Xue explained.

"Thank you, Leng Xue. Without you, it would have been difficult for us to escape." Lan Ya said gratefully.

"You're welcome. We are companions and it's our duty to help each other." Leng Xue smiled slightly.

The three of them rested in the cave for a while and recovered some of their strength. Lieyan looked at Leng Xue and Lan Ya and said firmly: "We can't stop here. Next, we must find the other trapped companions as soon as possible and rescue them all."

"That's right, we must unite and fight against the dark forces together." Lan Ya nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's keep going." Leng Xue stood up and headed towards the next target with Lie Yan and Lan Ya. They knew that there were more dangers waiting for them ahead, but they were fearless because they had firm beliefs and mutual support in their hearts.
