In the past, Lin Yu was injured in a fight with Zhang Kai and others and was treated by Wang Xiaoran. Later, Lin Yu returned from the midnight theater with serious injuries and was treated by Wang Ya.
Lin Yu had received help from this family before.
Therefore, if Wang Xiaoran were to encounter real danger, Lin Yu would not turn a blind eye.
"ah!"
Not long after Lin Yu and his companion left, the girl among the three suddenly screamed:
"Ah Jie, have you seen Xiao Yun and the others?"
Just now, the bodies of the two dead companions were still lying on the ground, covered in blood. The three of them discussed whether to take the bodies back to their families or bury them on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of his two companions were gone!
"Perhaps it was carried away by some monster." A-Jie's expression was grave.
"I suggest we leave here as soon as possible."
"Okay, sure." The girl's face turned pale, and the other boy nodded hurriedly as well.
Lin Yu and Gao Yang continued their journey, getting closer and closer to the Broken Mountain.
Looking up, the mountain was not towering, only about two or three hundred meters high, but its slope was very steep, almost vertical, like a fractured cross section.
The mountains were lush and green, with abundant vegetation and shady trees, making it difficult to see if any monsters might be living there.
After observing for a while, the two continued their journey, arriving at the edge of the jungle. Less than 100 meters from the broken mountain, they could see a steep mountain path winding upwards.
"Lin Yu, shall we go up the mountain?" Gao Yang asked, pointing to the mountain path.
Lin Yu shook his head, not intending to rush over.
This is a trap set up by Song Tianhuo for him. There's no reason for him to be stupid and rush in. If there's real danger, he might be fine, but Gao Yang's situation is uncertain.
Suddenly, Lin Yu frowned. His keen intuition told him that he seemed to be being watched.
"Who goes there? Show yourself!" Lin Yu locked onto a direction but didn't attack immediately; instead, he issued a warning first.
No one responded.
Lin Yu's eyes sharpened. Since the warning had no effect, he couldn't be blamed.
"Whoosh!" A sword wheel slashed straight out, destroying everything in its path, cutting down and felling trees one by one.
Finally, the sword wheel slashed at the target hiding behind the tree. Just as it was about to strike, the man shouted:
"Ah! Brother Lin, it's me! It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The sword wheel hovered, and Lin Yu saw the man's appearance clearly: a refined-looking boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Wang He.
Soon, Wang He was carried over like a chick, and under the intense gazes of Lin Yu and Gao Yang, he looked completely bewildered.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing Lin Yu's cold gaze, he quickly explained:
"Ah, it was all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to spy on you. It's just that there are monsters around here."
"I just escaped the pursuit of two black baboons. I was afraid they would come after me, so I hid and carefully observed them. I had no intention of offending them."
His words were so reasonable and well-founded that if one didn't know some of the inside information, one might easily be fooled.
"Clang!" Gao Yang was simple and brutal. He swung his axe and started smashing Wang He's head like he was smashing a mound of earth or a sea turtle.
"Tell the truth!" Gao Yang shouted sternly.
Wang He was completely bewildered. As a great wind mage, speed had always been his forte, but when Gao Yang attacked him, he couldn't even dodge in time.
He was also ordered to investigate Lin Yu:
It is said that Lin Yu has a friend named Gao Yang, who has average talent and strength, but the speed he just displayed was simply outrageous!
Despite the excruciating pain, Wang He said:
"Brothers, I'm telling the truth! Please believe me!"
"I trust you?"
Lin Yu glanced sideways, and then he joined in beating up the "earth mound turtle." He produced a large spiked club and smashed it down on Wang He's face.
"Clang, clang!"
"Tell me, why did you lure me to Broken Mountain?" Lin Yu asked.
"Mound Turtle" was bleeding from his head, his face was bruised and swollen from being hit with a spiked club. When he heard Lin Yu's question, his eyes changed.
After much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and continued to feign ignorance, saying:
"What do you mean by leading you to Broken Mountain? I don't understand. Brother Lin, I think there must be some misunderstanding!"
"Is that so?" Lin Yu sneered, putting away his spiked club and replacing it with the Star Shattering Sword.
Since beating up the "earth mound turtle" is useless, let's just chop it up.
As the longsword fell, Wang He immediately changed his tune:
"Brother Lin, I'll talk, I'll talk. Here's what happened. The gang leader wants to get back at you. He teamed up with others and set a trap for you at Duanshan."
Lin Yu gestured for him to continue.
Wang He dared not hide anything and said, "The Broken Mountain is very dangerous. It is inhabited by a large number of black-haired baboons, numbering in the hundreds or thousands. In addition, there is a baboon king who leads them, and his strength is unfathomable!"
"Furthermore, I also learned that the gang leader is negotiating with the mysterious person and has decided to lure you, Brother Lin, to Broken Mountain, where they will use baboons to wear down your strength, and then deal with you when you are exhausted."
Wang He thought for a moment, then added:
“They were hiding in the nearby jungle and had people keeping a close watch on them. I was one of the watchers, responsible for this area.”
Wang He tried to speak calmly, but in reality, Lin Yu knew very well that the so-called "dealing with" was likely to mean killing them and leaving no survivors.
"And who is this mysterious person?" Lin Yu pressed.
“A masked man, occupation unknown,” Wang He said.
Lin Yu immediately associated this person with a necromancer; these two had actually teamed up!
So, it's obvious that they really want to kill me.
Lin Yu's eyes were icy cold. He would not let any of the people involved in or aware of this matter go.
