Working together to escape the crisis, the truth gradually becomes clear
The mysterious figure moved effortlessly through the crowd of black-clad men, seemingly untouched by the force of a deserted land. The strange weapon in his hand shone with a strange, soft light, and each swing unleashed a dazzling blaze of light, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, accompanied by the whirring sound of wind, striking the men in black with uncanny precision. Though the black-clad men were numerous and surged forward like a tidal wave, they retreated under the mysterious figure's fierce attack, like fallen leaves swept by a gust of wind.
Some of the men in black attempted to attack the mysterious man from the side. They crouched, their steps light yet fierce, their blades gleaming with a cold light. However, as if the mysterious man had eyes on his back, he dodged the attack with a sideways movement as light as a fluttering butterfly. Then, with a backhand swing of his weapon, a powerful, invisible wave of air erupted, like a roaring beast, sending the attacker flying. With a dull thud, the attacker slammed into the wall, shaking it. With a painful groan, he slid down the wall, unable to rise again.
Lin Yu and Su Na took this opportunity to cheer themselves up. Lin Yu endured the excruciating pain from his wound, as if every inch of his skin was being burned by fire, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he still held the sword tightly, and the hilt was slightly deformed by his grip. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and joined the battle again, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness. He spotted a flaw revealed by a man in black, who was concentrating on besieging the mysterious man and had no idea Lin Yu was approaching. Lin Yu saw the right moment and stabbed with his sword. The sword flashed with a cold light and hit the opponent's arm. The man in black screamed, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", bouncing on the ground with a crisp sound.
Suna focused her attention, her eyes as sharp as a hawk's. Her hands danced rapidly in the air, muttering to herself, directing the poisonous insects to assist the mysterious man. Under her control, the insects surged like a surging black tide, swarming towards the man in black with a buzzing sound. The insects bit the man's exposed legs, causing him to let out a series of painful cries. Their legs felt as if they were being pierced by countless needles, making their movements slow and difficult, and the previously orderly siege formation was thrown into chaos.
Under the combined attack of the three, the men in black gradually began to lose their resistance, their eyes betraying fear and panic. The leading man, seeing the situation dire, wore a look of resignation. His eyes glared like bells, his teeth gnashed, his heart filled with rage and helplessness. But he knew that continuing would only lead to annihilation. With a wave of his hand, he fled the village in disgrace, leading his remaining men. They fled in panic along the village path, quickly disappearing from view.
Only after the man in black completely vanished did Lin Yu and Suna breathe a sigh of relief, their frayed nerves finally relaxing. At that moment, they were filled with deep gratitude towards the mysterious man. Lin Yu stepped forward, clasped his hands respectfully, and said, "Thank you very much for your help. If you hadn't arrived in time, we wouldn't be alive today. May I know your name? And why are you here?" Lin Yu's voice was filled with sincere gratitude. He stared at the mysterious man, his eyes filled with curiosity and gratitude.
The mysterious man sheathed his weapon, and its light instantly faded, as if it were asleep. He smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, a smile as warm as the spring sun, and said, "My name is Leng Xuan. I've heard that mysterious forces are at work in this area, and all kinds of strange things are happening frequently. I was curious and came here to investigate. I happened to see you being besieged by men in black, and the situation was critical, so I couldn't help but lend a hand."
Su Na looked at Leng Xuan curiously, her eyes falling on the weapon in his hand. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Leng Xuan, the weapon in your hand looks very special. It has a strange shape and a unique light. I have never seen anything so different before."
Leng Xuan picked up the weapon, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. He gently stroked the weapon and introduced it, "This weapon is called the 'Shadow Moon Blade'. It has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. It is said to possess mysterious powers that can always play an unexpected role at critical moments. It has accompanied my family through countless storms and witnessed countless life-and-death battles."
Lin Yu continued, "Brother Leng Xuan, to be honest, we are looking for gems to stop the evil forces from reviving the ancient evil demon. The journey is full of dangers and every step is thrilling. We didn't expect to fall into the trap of the man in black." Lin Yu's voice was low and solemn, as if every word carried a heavy mission.
Leng Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing this, and then he said seriously: "I see, it seems that you are shouldering an important mission. During my exploration, I also found some clues related to gems, which may be of help to you."
Lin Yu and Su Na exchanged a glance, their eyes instantly filled with surprise, as if they had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness. Su Na said, "Brother Leng Xuan, it would be great if we could get your help. We currently only know the general direction of the next gem, but we have no idea of its specific location, and we are worried about it."
Leng Xuan pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that there's an ancient temple in the Misty Forest to the east. Legend has it that the temple hides important information about gems. However, the Misty Forest is full of dangers, including ferocious and powerful beasts and bizarre fog traps. The fog seems to have life, creating all sorts of illusions. If you're not careful, you could get caught in it, lose your way, or even lose your life."
