Chapter 266: Rescuing the Injured Traveler, Traveler's Story
Hearing the low roar coming from the valley, Lin Feng and others stopped and became alert.
"Who knows what's hidden in this valley, everyone be careful." Lin Feng said in a low voice.
Wang Meng clenched the battle axe in his hand and said, "Who cares? I'll kill him if he comes!"
Zhao Xue frowned, "It's better to be careful and not act rashly."
Li Sanze began to prepare magic just in case.
Just as they hesitated, a figure stumbled out from the valley.
"Help!" the man shouted.
Lin Feng and others rushed forward to support him, only to see that his body was covered with wounds and his clothes were torn.
"Who are you? What happened?" Lin Feng asked.
The man gasped weakly, "I am a traveler. I encountered a group of ferocious monsters in the valley. All my companions died."
Zhao Xue quickly took out some healing herbs and treated his wounds. "Don't talk for now. Get some rest."
The traveler looked at them gratefully and said, "Thank you."
Lin Feng looked at him and asked, "Can you tell us about those monsters?"
The traveler nodded. "Those monsters look like wolves, but they are much larger than ordinary wolves. They are also extremely fast and have extremely sharp teeth."
Wang Meng snorted, "That doesn't sound scary at all."
The traveler said hastily, "No, they are very powerful and there are many of them."
Li San thought for a moment and said, "We still have to be careful."
Lin Feng decided to help the traveler recover his strength first. "You should rest for a while. When you feel better, we can work together to find a solution."
After a while, the woman felt a little better.
"I can fight alongside you to repay you for saving my life," the woman said.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so just follow behind."
They walked cautiously into the valley, and the silence was eerily quiet.
Suddenly, a burst of wolf howls was heard, and a group of huge wolves rushed out from all directions.
"Get ready for battle!" Lin Feng shouted.
Wang Meng rushed forward first, brandishing his battle axe, "Come on, beasts!"
Zhao Xue and Li San were not to be outdone and displayed their skills one after another.
Lin Feng shuttled through the wolf pack, slashing his sword and killing several wolves.
"Be careful of their siege!" the woman shouted from behind.
Although everyone fought hard, the wolves' attacks became more and more fierce.
"This is not a solution!" Zhao Xue shouted.
While fighting, Lin Feng was thinking about countermeasures, "Li San, can you use magic to create some obstacles?"
Li San understood Lin Feng's meaning and immediately cast a spell, raising walls of fire around him, temporarily blocking the wolves' attack.
"Let's break out now!" Lin Feng shouted.
Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the crowd fought their way out of the valley.
"Finally out." Wang Meng collapsed to the ground exhausted.
Zhao Xue was also panting, "That was a close call."
The traveler burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died in there."
Lin Feng looked at him, "What are your plans next?"
The traveler shook his head. "I don't know. My companions are gone."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then you should come with us. At least we can look after each other."
The traveler nodded and joined their team...
After escaping the wolves' pursuit, Lin Feng and the others found a relatively safe place to camp and rest. As night fell, a bonfire burned brightly in the center of the camp, illuminating everyone's tired faces.
The traveler sat by the campfire, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness and confusion. Lin Feng handed him a piece of dry food and asked softly, "Friend, can you tell us your story?"
The traveler took the rations, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "My name is Lu Yun. I originally came out with a group of like-minded companions to search for the legendary treasure, but unexpectedly, we were caught in one crisis after another."
Wang Meng came over curiously and asked, "What treasure? Tell us about it."
Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "It's a place said to hold endless wealth and mysterious magical treasures, but now it seems that it may just be an illusory legend. We have experienced many hardships along the way, passing through swamps and climbing steep mountains, but in this valley we encountered those terrifying wolves."
Zhao Xue sighed softly: "Then your companions..."
Lu Yun's eyes were red. "They all died at the hands of the wolves. I'm the only survivor. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't..."
Li San patted Lu Yun's shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad. At least you are still alive."
Lu Yun raised his head and looked at the starry sky: "I have been thinking, if I could be stronger, if I could detect danger in advance, maybe they would not die."
Lin Feng comforted him, "It's not your fault. In this world full of unknowns, danger always comes unexpectedly."
Lu Yun bit his lip and said, "I swear, I must become stronger and avenge my friends."
Wang Meng said, "Brother, you are with us now. Let's become stronger together!"
In the following days, Lu Yun gradually integrated into the team. During a break, Lu Yun told Lin Feng more details about their journey.
"In that swamp, we encountered a poisonous fog that could devour people. One of our companions accidentally inhaled a little and fell down instantly." Lu Yun's voice trembled slightly.
Zhao Xue frowned: "Then how did you get there?"
Lu Yun recalled: "We found a special herb that can disperse the poisonous fog when burned, so we barely got through."
Li San pondered for a moment, "It seems that knowledge and experience are equally important on this adventurous journey."
Another day, Lu Yun talked about their experience of crossing the mountain.
"The mountain is almost vertical, and we can only climb up little by little with the help of ropes. Several times, rocks rolled down and almost hit us," Lu Yun said with lingering fear.
Lin Feng said: "It's not easy for you to get to this point."
As they spend more and more time together, Lu Yun's relationship with everyone becomes closer and closer. They face unknown challenges together, and their trust in each other continues to deepen...
