I walk sideways in the game world

There was a loud bang, and the door of the secret room was knocked open by a powerful force. The figures of Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin appeared at the door. Qian Wanguan was shocked, and the jade pendant in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Qian Wanguan, your evil deeds have come to an end!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted angrily, drew the long sword from his waist, and pointed the sword directly at Qian Wanguan.

Qian Wanguan hurriedly took a few steps back, hid behind the man in black, pointed at Ren Xiaoyao and shouted, "What do you want to do? Do you know who I am? I am..."

Before he could finish his words, the man in black interrupted him impatiently, "Useless thing!"

The man in black turned around and looked at Ren Xiaoyao coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He slowly took off his cloak, revealing a sinister face.

"You ruined my good thing, I will make you pay the price!" said the man in black coldly.

As soon as the words fell, the man in black flashed and rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost. Ren Xiaoyao was prepared and swung his sword to meet him. The two of them started a fierce battle in the small secret room, with swords flashing and knives gleaming.

Xia Lin watched the fight anxiously from the sidelines. She knew the black-clad man was powerful and worried that Ren Xiaoyao would be in danger. She held the dagger tightly in her hand, ready to help at any time.

In the fierce battle, Ren Xiaoyao gradually fell behind. The black-clad man's martial arts moves were strange and unpredictable, making it difficult for him to resist. After several rounds, Ren Xiaoyao had several wounds on his body, and blood stained his clothes red.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed and rushed forward desperately.

The man in black saw this and sneered. He deliberately exposed a flaw to lure Xia Lin into the trap. Xia Lin was so anxious that she didn't notice the man in black's trick and fell into his trap.

The man in black made a lightning-fast move, grabbed Charlene's neck and held her hostage.

"Stop!" Ren Xiaoyao was shocked when he saw this and stopped immediately.

"Hahaha, your life belongs to me now!" The man in black laughed triumphantly.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let her go, come to me if you have any problems!"

The man in black ignored Ren Xiaoyao's roar. He pushed Xia Lin to the ground and took out a golden scroll from his arms.

"I will present this treasure to my master, and he will give me endless wealth and power!" the man in black said fanatically, with greed flashing in his eyes.

Ren Xiaoyao finally understood that the man in black wasn't after money, but this precious artifact. A wave of despair suddenly rose in his heart. He knew that if they fell into the hands of the man in black, both he and Xia Lin would surely die.

The man in black put away the scroll and said triumphantly, "You two, just wait here to die!"

After saying that, the man in black turned and left the secret room. The door of the secret room slowly closed, trapping Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin in darkness.

"Brother Xiaoyao, what should we do?" Xia Lin's voice trembled in the darkness.

In the darkness, Ren Xiaoyao remained silent, his fists clenched tightly, his heart filled with anger and powerlessness. Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the corner:

"I can help you..."

In the darkness, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin leaned against the cold wall, speechless. Despair, like the darkness in this secret room, weighed heavily on their hearts.

"I can help you..." The voice sounded again, especially clear in the silent room.

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin looked up suddenly, following the sound. They saw a tall figure emerge from the shadows in the corner. In the dim light, they could clearly see the man's face. He was a man in his forties, with a burly build and a resolute face. His eyes revealed a resolute and unyielding look.

"Who are you?" Ren Xiaoyao asked vigilantly.

The man walked up to them and said in a deep voice, "My name is Tieshan, and I'm Qian Wanguan's personal bodyguard. However, I'm not his lackey. Everything I do is for my family."

"Why are you helping us?" Charlene asked, her eyes full of confusion.

Tieshan sighed and said, "Qian Wanguan has committed many evil deeds. I have wanted to leave him for a long time. But my family is controlled by him, and I have no choice but to obey him. This time, I saw you fighting for justice, and I was moved by your courage, so I decided to help you."

"But how can you help us?" Ren Xiaoyao asked.

Tieshan walked to the wall, fumbled around for a while, and then pushed hard. He actually pushed a stone brick in. Then, there was the sound of a spring turning, and one side of the secret room slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage.

"This is the escape route from the secret room. I'm the only one who knows it." Tieshan said, "Hurry up and leave. It will be too late if you're late."

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin looked at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude. They had never imagined that in this desperate moment, someone would be willing to risk their lives to help them.

"Thank you, Brother Tieshan." Ren Xiaoyao said sincerely, "We will never forget this kindness."

"Let's go!" Tieshan urged.

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin no longer hesitated and followed Tieshan into the secret passage. It was pitch black inside, and they could only grope their way forward along the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end of the secret passage. Tieshan pushed open a heavy iron door, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly shone in. They were stunned by the scene before them.

Outside the door was Qian Wanguan's treasury, filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, shining with an alluring light. Qian Wanguan and the man in black were standing in the center of the treasury, counting their "trophies."

"Oh no, they are going to run away!" Ren Xiaoyao saw the golden scroll in their hands at a glance and immediately realized that they were going to escape with the treasure.

"Chase!"

Ignoring their injuries, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin rushed out. A fierce battle broke out again. However, they were weak and quickly fell behind the powerful enemy.

"Go!" Tieshan tried his best to block the attack of the man in black and shouted to Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin.

"Brother Tieshan!" Xia Lin was heartbroken.

"Don't worry about me, go quickly! Take the treasure back!" Tieshan roared at the top of his lungs.

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin knew that now was not the time to be sad, they had to fulfill Tieshan's last wish. They suppressed their grief and turned to flee the treasure house.

Behind them, Tieshan's desperate roar and the black-clad man's triumphant laughter could be heard. Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin stumbled out of Qian Wanguan's residence, covered in blood and wounds, but their eyes were remarkably determined.

"We can't just give up like this..." Ren Xiaoyao gasped, his voice hoarse. The secret passage leading out of Qian Wanguan's mansion was hidden in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city. Ren Xiaoyao leaned against the rubble, breathing heavily, his clothes stained red with blood. Xia Lin half-knelt beside him, anxiously tending to his wounds.

"Xiaoyao, we can't chase you anymore. Your injury..." Xia Lin's voice trembled slightly. She looked at the resolute man in front of her with heartache. His pale face and clenched teeth made her extremely worried.

"No, I must take the treasure back!" Ren Xiaoyao grabbed Xia Lin's hand fiercely, his eyes burning with rage. "Brother Tieshan sacrificed himself for us. I must avenge him! Qian Wanguan, I will never let him go!"

Xia Lin's eyes were red, tears welling up in them. She understood Ren Xiaoyao's determination, and the responsibility they shouldered. Tieshan's sacrifice, the loss of the treasure, all weighed on their hearts like a huge rock, making them unable to breathe.

"But your injury..." Xia Lin wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Ren Xiaoyao.

"I'm fine," Ren Xiaoyao struggled to stand up. His body was shaky, but he still held on with all his strength. "We still have a chance. As long as we can find Qian Wanguan's whereabouts, we will definitely be able to take back the treasure!"

He took a deep breath and looked resolutely into the distance, where Qian Wanguan was fleeing. "Xia Lin, believe me, we can do this!"

Xia Lin looked at Ren Xiaoyao's determined eyes, and her worries subsided a little. She nodded, buried her worries in her heart, and said firmly: "Okay, let's work together to avenge Brother Tieshan!"

The two men simply bandaged their wounds, supported each other, and chased in the direction Qian Wanguan had fled. The setting sun stretched their figures outward, casting a tragic tinge on their road to revenge.

However, they don't know that a greater danger is waiting for them ahead. What they are pursuing is not only the treasure, but also the conspiracy hidden in the darkness...

"careful!"

With a cry of surprise, a sharp arrow flew through the air, shooting straight towards Ren Xiaoyao...

Ren Xiaoyao only felt a flash before his eyes, and before he could react, he was knocked to the ground by a huge force, and the muffled groan of his loyal partner came to his ears.

"Old Wang!" Ren Xiaoyao exclaimed, but saw a feather arrow stuck in his companion's back, and blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.

"Go! Don't worry about me! Avenge me..." The loyal partner uttered a few words with difficulty, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

"No! Lao Wang, hold on, I will heal you right away!" Xia Lin hurriedly took out the medicine from her arms, but found in despair that it was all in vain.

"It's useless... cough cough... This is... the Soul-Chasing Arrow... There's no cure..." The loyal companion grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's hand and said with his last bit of strength, "This treasure... can't fall into... the wrong hands... Protect it for me..."

Before he could finish his words, his loyal companion's hands dropped limply and he closed his eyes forever.

"No!" Ren Xiaoyao cried out to the sky, grief-stricken, tears blurring his eyes. He hugged his companion's gradually cooling body tightly, his heart filled with self-blame and anger.

Xia Lin knelt aside, tears streaming down her face. She understood that this was the price they had to pay in order to protect the treasure and for the justice in their hearts.

"Old Wang, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you! Take back the treasure! I will never let you down!" Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, with flames of hatred flashing in his eyes.

He slowly stood up, gently put his partner's body down, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and his eyes became more determined than ever.

"Let's go!" Ren Xiaoyao pulled Xia Lin and chased in the direction Qian Wanguan fled, his back looking desolate and resolute.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, making their shadows appear particularly long, as if foreshadowing how long and difficult this road to revenge would be.

However, their steps did not stop for a moment, because they knew that they were carrying the last wishes of their companions and the mission of protecting the treasure, and they would never give up!

In the distance, Qian Wanguan's figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, and the treasure emitted a faint light, as if calling them...

"Tens of millions of coins, I will make you pay the price!" Ren Xiaoyao clenched his fists, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Xia Lin followed him silently, a determined light flashing in her eyes. They set out on the road of revenge without hesitation...
