When Lu Yu reached the middle of the mountain, he intuitively felt that there was someone in front of him, so he stopped and looked carefully, but found nothing.
He was wondering when he suddenly smelled a familiar scent.
Wanwan?
Yes, this is Wanwan's breath,
Wanwan should be nearby.
His heart suddenly tightened, and Lu Yu immediately realized that the situation was not good. Qin Wan, that woman who always had a certain stubbornness and tenacity, why did her presence appear in this desolate mountain?
He looked around, carefully identifying it, his heart in a panic. Without thinking too much, he quickly followed the direction of the source of the breath.
Qin Wan also smelled Lu Yu's scent early on.
She passed through a dense forest and the view suddenly opened up. She saw a narrow valley stretching before her, with lush grass growing on both sides of the valley.
Qin Wan had hidden behind the rocks early on, and when she saw Lu Yu rushing towards her, her heart softened.
As the breath became clearer, Lu Yu became more anxious.
"Qin Wan!" Lu Yu called out softly, but the only response he got was the night wind echoing in the mountains.
He quickened his pace and rushed forward. He believed that at the end of that breath, he would find the woman dear to his heart.
He walked through the dense forest, stepped onto the grassy slope, and finally found her in a relatively spacious place.
Qin Wan saw Lu Yu and ran towards him in a hurry. She was not careful and almost fell to the ground.
"Qin Wan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Lu Yu turned pale and staggered, and hurried forward to help her up.
Qin Wan looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Lu Yu... I... I have to go back to the army to report that there are human traffickers in the cave ahead..."
Qin Wan spoke incoherently, looking as if he was severely exhausted.
Lu Yu's heart trembled. He understood what Qin Wan meant by "human traffickers." It was likely a mistake he and his task force made when carrying out their mission.
He quickly took out the water bag and dry food he carried with him and asked Qin Wan to recover some of his strength first, as there would be a tough battle to fight later. Because the group of people Qin Wan saw were definitely not just human traffickers!
"Don't be anxious, eat something and recover. Tell me, what happened?" Lu Yu's voice was gentle and firm, trying to calm Shan Qinwan's nervousness.
Qin Wan took the food with trembling hands and ate while recounting what had happened.
It turned out that she was discovered shortly after escaping from the cave.
He was a man with extremely high martial arts skills. Although Qin Wan was a level seven supernatural power, he was almost captured by the man after only a few rounds.
After a fierce battle, although she escaped from the man's control with her wit and courage, she felt in her heart that the cave must have an incredible secret and urgently needed assistance from our army.
After listening to Qin Wan's narration, Lu Yu frowned. He knew that time was running out and any delay could lead to irreversible consequences. He made a quick decision:
"Qin Wan, you stay here and rest. I'll go notify the army."
Qin Wan heard this, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "But... you are alone... be careful..."
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Lu Yu interrupted her, his tone full of confidence. He pulled out a special flare from his waist, which they had prepared for emergencies. As soon as the flare was launched, nearby friendly forces would quickly receive the message.
After arranging Qin Wan, Lu Yu quickly walked out of the cave, found an open area, and lit a flare. A brilliant light streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the night sky.
He looked at the rising flames and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that all this would be settled as soon as possible.
However, fate didn't seem to intend for things to be so simple. Just as the flare was launched, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the cave, and then several dark shadows appeared in Lu Yu's sight.
They were dressed in black, with veils covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. They were obviously enemy pursuers.
"Hmph, you want to tip off? Not that easy!" The leading man in black sneered, and the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, pointing directly at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's heart trembled, but he didn't retreat. He knew that retreating at this moment would mean failure and endanger more innocent lives. He gripped his sword tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination as he prepared for the coming battle.
"Come on! Let me show you how powerful I am!" Lu Yu shouted, and with lightning speed, he rushed towards the enemy...
The people who attacked Lu Yu were the hermits sent by the island country. They were good at hiding and assassination and were the most difficult opponents on the battlefield.
The leading man in black, named Kurokawa Ichiro, is a leader among the island nation's hermits. His swordsmanship is sharp and his speed is extremely fast. Every time he swings his sword, it seems to be able to split the air, leaving behind a series of knife marks that are invisible to the naked eye.
"Humph, a mere Lu Yu dares to go against our island nation's hermits?"
Ichiro Kurokawa sneered, his voice low and hoarse, like a call from hell.
Lu Yu didn't answer. He knew that words were useless at this moment. Only fighting could solve everything. He flashed and appeared at the side of Kurokawa Ichiro like a ghost. The sword in his hand flashed and went straight to the opponent's vital point.
Kurokawa Ichiro reacted extremely quickly, moving his body to the side and easily avoiding Lu Yu's attack. At the same time, his long sword was swung out, with a whistling sound, and it chopped directly at Lu Yu's neck.
Lu Yu's heart trembled. He hadn't expected the opponent to be so fast. But he didn't panic. Instead, he relied on his extraordinary reaction speed and superb martial arts to narrowly avoid the knife.
The battle instantly reached a fever pitch, the two men clashing back and forth, their swords flashing and shadows weaving together in a dazzling battlefield. The surrounding trees were severed by their sword energy, sending sand and rocks flying, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
