Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

A helping hand in the dark night

The smell of the hallucinogenic smoke became stronger and stronger, my head became heavier and heavier, and the world in front of me seemed to be covered with a thick layer of gauze, and it was blurry and unclear.

Hao Yang's hand slipped from mine. I wanted to catch him, but I didn't have any strength.

"Hao Yang..." I shouted his name with all my strength, but my voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Elder Lin's condition wasn't much better. He stumbled back a few steps, barely able to stand steady by holding onto a tree. He muttered something, and I tried hard to hear it, but only caught a few fragmented words: "Ecstasy... antidote... quick..."

Wei Xue's condition seemed to be slightly better than ours. She forced herself to stay conscious, staggered to my side, and held me tightly.

"Wei Yao...how are you..." Her voice was also a little unclear.

I shook my head weakly, feeling like I couldn't hold on any longer.

Just when I was about to lose consciousness, suddenly, a breeze blew by, and the thick smoke miraculously dissipated!

I took a deep breath of fresh air and felt instantly more alert.

who is it?

I tried to open my eyes wide, and saw a man in a green robe holding a sword standing in front of us.

He had his back to the moonlight, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but he exuded an awe-inspiring righteousness.

"Who are you?" Elder Lin asked vigilantly. Although the bewitching smoke had dissipated, we still dared not let our guard down.

"I saw injustice and came to the rescue." The man turned around, revealing a sharp-edged face with a faint smile on his lips. "I'm Knight Lingfeng, and I've been tracking this evil organization."

"Hero Lingfeng?" I was delighted. I had heard some rumors about the hero Lingfeng in the martial arts world. It was said that he was a martial arts master and a chivalrous man. I didn't expect that I could get his help today.

"Thank you for your help!" I said gratefully.

Knight Lingfeng waved his hand and his eyes fell on Hao Yang behind me.

"He is seriously injured and needs medical attention as soon as possible."

I quickly helped Hao Yang up. His face was as pale as paper and his breathing was weak.

"I know a place where we can temporarily hide from pursuit and heal his wounds." The Spirit Wind Knight said, turning and walking deep into the dense forest, "Follow me."

We supported each other and followed the Spirit Wind Knight into the unknown darkness.

After walking a few steps, the Spirit Wind Knight suddenly stopped, looked back at me, and said meaningfully: "However, I don't like to be bound by rules..."

We followed the Spirit Wind Knight through the dense forest. His steps were so light as if there was wind under his feet, and I almost couldn't keep up with him several times.

Elder Lin kept frowning, looking solemn, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

I know what he is worried about. Although Lingfeng Knight has come to our aid, we know nothing about him, and his style of doing things is indeed unpredictable.

"Hero," Elder Lin finally couldn't help but speak, "We appreciate your help, but who are you? Why are you helping us?"

Knight Lingfeng stopped, looked back at Elder Lin, and a cynical smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Old sir, you're asking a lot. I told you I saw injustice and I helped. As for my identity, you don't need to know. Knowing too much might not be good for you."

Elder Lin's expression turned even uglier. He said in a deep voice, "We in the Wei family have always been clear about our grudges. You saved us, and we are naturally grateful, but we can't just trust someone with unknown origins."

I pulled Elder Lin's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

It seems that the Spirit Wind Knight has a bad temper. If we anger him, it will not be good for us.

"Old sir, you worry too much." The knight Lingfeng didn't seem to care about Elder Lin's attitude. He waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind blew up, blowing down the dead branches and leaves on several large trees in front.

Only then did I discover that there were sharp blades hidden under those dead branches and leaves!

"This is a trap set by an evil organization," Spirit Wind Knight said calmly, "If I hadn't discovered it in time, you would have been injured."

Elder Lin's expression changed. He didn't expect that Knight Lingfeng could discover these hidden traps so easily.

It seems that his strength should not be underestimated.

"I trust him," I said firmly. "We need his help right now."

Elder Lin sighed and finally nodded.

Knight Lingfeng smiled and continued to lead the way.

After walking for a while, we came to a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by dense vines. If it weren't for the knight Lingfeng leading the way, we would never have found this place.

"It's safe here for now." Spirit Wind Knight said, "You guys rest here first, I'll be back soon."

After saying this, he disappeared into the night in a flash.

I supported Hao Yang and found a place to sit down in the cave.

Wei Xue stood vigilantly at the entrance of the cave, observing the movements around her.

"Wei Yao..." Wei Xue suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Thank you..."

I was stunned for a moment, and before I could ask her why she was thanking me, I suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside the cave...

"Who is it?!" Wei Xue shouted sternly, drew his sword and pointed it at the cave entrance.

What appeared at the entrance of the cave was a black-robed messenger and a group of his men, all of whom had ferocious faces and murderous intent.

"It's really haunting!" I cursed under my breath.

Wei Xue had already rushed out, sword flashing, fighting with the enemy.

I also wanted to go forward to help, but Hao Yang was unconscious and I had to protect him.

The Spirit Wind Knight returned and joined the battle.

His movements were graceful and his swordsmanship was sharp, like a whirlwind, weaving between the enemies.

He can actually control the power of the wind!

He just waved his hands, and a strong wind suddenly arose, blowing up the sand and stones on the ground and shooting towards the enemy like sharp arrows.

The black-robed messenger's men were caught off guard and retreated one after another.

Wei Xue and I also seized the opportunity and attacked together.

Wei Xue's swordsmanship was fierce and every move was deadly; although my attacks were not as sharp as hers, they were more varied. With our tacit cooperation, we actually knocked down a few enemies.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-robed envoy took action himself.

Black air swirled around him, and a powerful wave of power spread out in all directions.

He waved his hand violently, and a black shock wave came towards us!

"Be careful!" Lingfeng Knight shouted and pushed me away.

But Hao Yang had no time to dodge. In order to protect me, he used his body to block the shock wave!

"Hao Yang!" I screamed heartbreakingly and rushed to Hao Yang.

He was pale, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he was dying.

"Hao Yang, wake up! Nothing can happen to you!" I hugged him tightly, tears blurring my eyes.

The black-robed messenger took the opportunity to escape, but was stopped by the Spirit Wind Knight.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The knight Lingfeng snorted coldly, and the sword flashed. The black-robed messenger let out a scream and fell to the ground.

When the remaining enemies saw their leader killed, they immediately became disorganized and fled in all directions.

I hugged Hao Yang, feeling extremely anxious.

His injuries are serious and require urgent treatment.

However, we are now in a dangerous situation and we don’t know how much danger lies ahead.

Moreover, although Lingfeng Knight helped us, I still know nothing about him.

Can he really be trusted completely?

I raised my head and looked at Lingfeng Knight. He was looking at me with a complicated expression.

I opened my mouth, wanting to ask something, but I didn't know what to say.

"He needs treatment as soon as possible," Spirit Wind Knight broke the silence, "I know a place..." Before he could finish his words, his face suddenly changed, and he turned back sharply to look deep into the dense forest, "Oh no, they're coming!"

"Who?" I was shocked and an ominous premonition came over me.

The Spirit Wind Knight didn't answer, but simply grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Let's go!"

He pulled me and ran into the depths of the forest without looking back, with Wei Xue following closely behind.

I looked back at the unconscious Hao Yang, my heart filled with worry and fear.

"Wait..." I suddenly stopped, "Hao Yang..."

The Spirit Wind Knight also stopped. He looked at me with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"I can't leave him..." I said firmly.

Lingfeng Knight took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision.

"Okay, I'll take you to a place..." He paused, his tone becoming serious, "But it's very dangerous there..."
