Chapter 384 Breakout from a Dilemma
Chapter 384 Breakout from a Dilemma
Li Yunfei and his companions, carrying the gems given by the mysterious old man, were filled with hope and strength. They left the devastated battlefield and headed towards the unknown distance.
Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, with green mountains and clear waters appearing vibrant under the sunshine. The breeze blew by, bringing bursts of fragrance from flowers and plants, making people feel relaxed and happy. But Li Yunfei and his team had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery, as they knew that there were more challenges waiting for them ahead.
Li Yunfei walked at the front of the team, holding the artifact tightly in his hand, his eyes firm and deep. His clothes were torn in the battle, but he still exuded a fearless momentum. From time to time, he looked back at his companions behind him, his eyes full of concern and encouragement.
Lin Yue followed behind Li Yunfei, her steps were a little heavy, and the light of the gem on the staff became dim. Her face was pale, and the fierce battle just now had consumed a lot of her magic power, but her eyes still flashed with tenacity.
As Zhang Hao walked, he wiped his broken spear and kept muttering: "When I fix this gun, I will make those dark forces pay!" His voice was full of anger and determination.
Feng Yu walked silently, with her hands folded in front of her chest, as if she was thinking about something. Although her fire power had not yet fully recovered, a stronger fighting spirit had already ignited in her heart.
Mo Ying remained silent, his short blade reflected a cold light in the sunlight. His eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, always on guard.
As they walked, they came to a quiet town. The streets of the town were sparsely populated, and the houses were scattered in an orderly manner, exuding a peaceful atmosphere.
"Let's rest here first." Li Yunfei said.
Everyone nodded and walked into the town.
They found an inn and prepared to rest for a while. The innkeeper was a warm middle-aged man. Seeing their tired appearance, he quickly arranged a room for them.
"Dear guests, please have a good rest first. Please let me know if you need anything." said the boss.
Li Yunfei smiled gratefully: "Thank you, boss."
After entering the room, Li Yunfei and the others collapsed on the bed. They were so tired that they fell asleep quickly.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Li Yunfei was awakened by a loud noise. He opened his eyes and sat up alertly.
"What's happening out there?" he whispered.
He opened the door and walked out, only to see a group of people gathered in the lobby of the inn, discussing something intensely.
Li Yunfei leaned in to listen and found that the villagers were talking about a recent incident - a nearby village was attacked by a group of bandits, and the villagers' property and lives were threatened.
"These bandits are simply demons. They stole our food and money and injured many people!" "Yes, they are too cruel. We must find a way to protect ourselves and our families." "But we have no weapons. How can we fight against those bandits?" The villagers talked among themselves, with anxious and helpless expressions on their faces.
When Li Yunfei heard this, he felt a sense of justice. He remembered his mission and decided to do something for these innocent villagers. So he walked into the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, I am a traveler passing by here. I am willing to help you drive away the robbers and let you live a peaceful life!"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers. They looked at Li Yunfei in surprise, their eyes full of expectation and gratitude.
Li Yunfei returned to the room, woke up his sleeping companions, and told them what he had just heard. Everyone was shocked by the news and expressed their willingness to join the fight to seek justice for the villagers.
"Now that we have encountered this, we can't just ignore it," said Zhang Hao.
Everyone agreed.
They followed the villagers to the attacked village. The village was in a mess, houses were burned, property was looted, and the villagers were crying.
Li Yunfei's heart was filled with anger, and he vowed to make these robbers pay the price.
They carefully shuttled through the mountains and forests, not missing any place where bandits might hide. Every step was full of vigilance and caution, for fear of falling into the bandits' trap. After a long and arduous search, they finally found the bandits' camp in a dense forest.
"Prepare for battle!" Li Yunfei whispered, his voice revealing firmness and determination. Everyone immediately prepared for battle, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, with fighting glimmers in their eyes. They quietly approached the camp, trying not to make any noise to avoid alerting the enemy.
Just as they were about to launch an attack, suddenly, a group of black shadows emerged from the woods and rushed towards them at an astonishing speed. These black shadows were agile and swift, and were obviously well-trained warriors. Li Yunfei and others were caught off guard by this sudden attack and fell into chaos for a while.
"Keep the formation! Don't panic!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the situation. However, the attack of the group of black shadows was extremely fierce, making it difficult for them to resist. Li Yunfei brandished his sword and fought fiercely with a black shadow, but the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. The two fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner.
Others also fought with the shadow, and the scene was very chaotic. But they did not retreat, but resisted tenaciously, trying to find opportunities to fight back. In this fierce battle, everyone played their own strength and courage, showing an indomitable spirit.
It turned out that this was a trap set by robbers.
Li Yunfei and others were in trouble, but they did not retreat, but fought back.
The group of black shadows rushed over like ghosts, and instantly got into a melee with Li Yunfei and others. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadows swayed on this fierce battlefield.
Li Yunfei waved the magic weapon, and the light flashed through the darkness, illuminating his resolute face. His eyes were sharp, and every attack was full of determination. The magic weapon collided with the enemy's weapon, making a crisp sound and sparks flying.
Zhang Hao roared loudly, and the spear in his hand danced like a dragon and snake. Wherever the spear tip went, the enemies retreated. His muscles were tense, and sweat soaked his clothes and dripped down his cheeks.
Feng Yu waved her hands, and flames shot out from her palms, forming tongues of fire that swept towards the enemy. The light of the flames illuminated her angry face, and her eyes were filled with hatred for these bandits.
Mo Ying's figure was as fast as lightning, moving freely between the enemies. His short blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and every time he struck, he accurately cut across the enemy's throat, his movements were clean and neat, without any delay.
Lin Yue stood at the back, holding his staff high, muttering something. Rays of healing light shot out from the top of the staff, landing on his companions, repairing their wounds and providing them with the guarantee to continue fighting.
However, the enemy was numerous, and new shadows kept coming from all directions. Li Yunfei and his companions gradually felt overwhelmed, their movements began to slow down, and their breathing became more and more rapid.
"Everyone be careful!" Li Yunfei warned loudly, his voice was particularly clear in this chaotic battlefield.
A robber took advantage of Li Yunfei's unpreparedness and swung a big knife at him. At this critical moment, Mo Ying instantly appeared beside Li Yunfei and swung the short blade to block the fatal blow.
"Thank you!" Li Yunfei shouted.
Zhang Hao's spear was tightly grasped by two robbers. He struggled hard but couldn't break free. Feng Yu saw this and shot a stream of fire at the two robbers, forcing them to let go.
"Hold on! We can't fall!" Feng Yu shouted.
Lin Yue's magic power was over-consumed and her face became paler and paler, but she still insisted on casting healing magic for everyone.
At this time, Li Yunfei discovered that the enemy's attacks seemed to have a certain pattern, and they were intentionally driving them in one direction.
"Oh no, this might be a trap!" Li Yunfei's heart tightened.
But by this time they were already deeply trapped in the enemy's camp and could not escape easily.
Just when they felt desperate, there was a sudden sound of birdsong in the sky. A huge white crane descended from the sky, and a woman in white sat on its back.
The woman's sleeves fluttered, and she held a jade flute in her hand. She blew the flute gently, and the melodious sound echoed in the woods.
When the robbers heard the flute, their movements suddenly slowed down.
"Go!" the woman shouted.
Li Yunfei and others took the opportunity to break away from the enemy's encirclement and followed the woman to ride on the crane.
The crane spread its wings and flew high, carrying them away from the dangerous forest.
On the back of the crane, Li Yunfei and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for saving me, young lady." Li Yunfei said.
The woman smiled and said, "If you see injustice, you should help."
Li Yunfei looked at the woman, his heart filled with gratitude.
The crane landed on a mountain peak and the woman led them into a cave.
The cave is simply furnished but very tidy.
"You guys take a rest here and recover your strength," said the woman.
Li Yunfei and others nodded, sat down and began to adjust their breathing.
After a while, the woman brought some food and water.
"Eat something and replenish your energy." said the woman.
Li Yunfei and others took the food and started to eat it voraciously.
During the conversation, Li Yunfei learned that the woman's name was Ling'er, and she was a practitioner who lived in seclusion here.
"Why are those bandits so rampant?" Li Yunfei asked.
Ling'er frowned: "They are controlled by a dark force and have been doing evil in this area."
Li Yunfei and others looked at each other and secretly vowed in their hearts that they must eradicate this dark force.
After a period of rest, Li Yunfei and others recovered a lot of their physical strength and magic power.
"We can't hide here forever. We must go back and deal with those bandits," said Li Yunfei.
Ling'er nodded: "I'll go with you."
