"Yes, thanks to Mr. Yun's help, we were able to successfully avoid those bandits." Liu Qing nodded in agreement.
The conversation of several people echoed in the forest, occasionally attracting a few birdsong. At this moment, they came to an open area, and the sunlight filtered through the treetops and cast light and shadow on the work, making it look particularly bright.
"It looks like we are going to pass through this open area." Li Feng said, "Everyone, be careful. This kind of place is easy to be discovered by the enemy."
"Well, let's speed up and try not to stop." Lin Feng reminded.
Several people quickly crossed the open space, and just as they were about to enter the dense forest on the other side, there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps from the side. Everyone immediately became alert, drew their weapons, and looked around nervously.
Several figures emerged from the woods, led by a young man holding a long knife. He had sharp eyes and was obviously a member of the bandits. Following him were five or six bandit men who were also armed to the teeth.
"You are indeed here!" the young bandit sneered, "Hand over the map and all your belongings and spare your lives!"
"What a beautiful idea!" Lin Feng clenched the bow and arrow in his hand and responded coldly.
During the confrontation between the two sides, the air seemed to be frozen, and only the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves broke the silence.
Just when the situation was about to break out, a ray of white light fell from the sky and hit the bandit leader directly. The man immediately covered his chest and fell down in pain. Immediately afterwards, more rays of light flew from all directions, knocking all the surrounding bandits to the ground.
"This is..." Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the source of the light.
I saw Mr. Yun standing not far behind them, waving a strange staff in his hand. It was he who exerted this powerful power.
"Mr. Yun, what are you...?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.
"I have known for a long time that you will face such danger, so I have been protecting you secretly." Mr. Yun replied with a smile, "Now is not the time to be surprised. Come with me quickly. It is no longer safe here."

Several people quickly followed Mr. Yun, passed through a bush in front, and came to a hidden path. The trail twists and turns and seems to lead deeper into the forest.
"Where are we going?" Su Yu asked.
"Go to a more secret place, where there will be things that can help you." Mr. Yun explained, "Moreover, the tests you are about to face will be more severe. Only by passing these tests can you finally find a way out."

Several people looked at each other. Although they were a little worried, they were more determined. They know that there will be more challenges waiting for them on the next journey.
"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will not back down." Lin Feng said firmly.
"Very good, then let's move on." Mr. Yun nodded approvingly.
In this way, under the leadership of Mr. Yun, the group embarked on a new journey. Their hearts are full of faith and courage to face the upcoming unknowns and challenges.
"Wait, there seems to be something moving over there!" Liu Qing suddenly stopped and pointed to a small hill not far away.
Everyone followed her hand and saw a few figures moving faintly on the top of the hill.
"Enemy or friend?" Li Feng asked with a frown.
"No matter what it is, we must be prepared to deal with it." Lin Feng said calmly, "Let's go over and see what happened."
Several people slowly approached the hill, every step full of vigilance. As the distance got closer, they finally saw the true faces of those figures.
Several people slowly approached the hill, every step full of vigilance. As the distance got closer, they finally saw the true identity of those figures - they turned out to be a group of people dressed as villagers, about a dozen people, men, women and children, gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
"It doesn't look like an enemy." Su Yu said softly, with a hint of relief in her tone.
"But we still have to be careful." Li Feng still held the sword in his hand tightly and glanced around sharply.
Lin Feng nodded and took the lead to walk over. When they walked into the circle of villagers, the villagers immediately became alert, picked up the various crude weapons at hand, and looked at them warily.
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand." Lin Feng raised his hands to show that there was no hostility. "We were just passing by and wanted to confirm the situation."
The villagers looked at each other, and an older villager came out and looked at them with wary eyes. "Who are you? Why do you come to us?"
"We are adventurers, escaping from the pursuit of bandits." Lin Feng explained, "We are just passing through this area, hoping to get some help."
After hearing their explanation, the old villager relaxed his brows a little, but he was still a little wary. "Are you really trying to avoid bandits?"
"That's true." Lin Feng nodded, "We just encountered a wave of bandits, and we escaped thanks to Mr. Yun's help."
Hearing this, several villagers started talking in low voices, obviously they had heard of Mr. Yun's name. The old villager looked at Mr. Yun again, with a bit more respect in his expression.
"Is this Senior Yun?" the old villager asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's me." Mr. Yun responded with a smile, "Don't worry too much, we don't want to cause you any trouble."
The villagers felt relieved, and the old villagers even came forward to greet them enthusiastically. "So that's it. Please come in quickly. Our village is not far ahead. You can rest here for a while and we will provide the necessary help."
Lin Feng and his party followed the old villagers into the village. The villagers were a little surprised when they saw them, but they soon welcomed them warmly. The women were busy preparing meals, while the children watched the outsiders curiously.
"Thank you so much." Lin Feng said gratefully, "We are just taking a short break and don't want to disturb you for too long."
"You're welcome. With all the chaos out there, kind-hearted people like you are rare." The old villager smiled and handed everyone a bowl of hot porridge.
"These people are so brave!" A young villager praised in a low voice, "They can even defeat bandits."
"Yes, I heard that they saved many people!" another villager agreed.
After hearing these compliments, Lin Feng blushed slightly and smiled modestly.
After eating, the old villager found a simple map, pointed to one of the routes and said: "Go north from here, pass through a dense forest, and then climb over a mountain to reach a safe town. There are government guards there who should be able to protect your safety.”
"Thank you so much!" Lin Feng took the map excitedly, "We will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts."
"Okay, it's getting late, you should set off quickly." The old villager reminded, "Pay attention to safety on the road."
Everyone bid farewell to the villagers and continued on their new journey. This time, they were full of confidence and expectations, because they knew that as long as they persisted, there would be a bright future ahead.
"Mr. Yun, do you think this road is really safe?" Su Yu asked worriedly.
"Don't worry," Mr. Yun said with a smile, "As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't overcome. However, we do need to be careful, after all, the bandits will not give up easily."
"Well, we will definitely succeed." Lin Feng said firmly.
The group of people continued to move forward, through the dense forest, towards the legendary town. Behind them, a group of villagers silently watched their backs and prayed for their safety.
"I hope they can find a way out smoothly." The old villager whispered. "I hope they can find a way out smoothly." The old villager whispered.
Lin Feng and his party, led by Mr. Yun, followed the route on the map. The road in the dense forest became more and more rugged, but their pace became more determined. The sun shines through the treetops, and mottled light and shadow dance on the ground, accompanied by the gentle breeze, bringing a touch of coolness.
"The terrain here is really complicated." Li Feng sighed, pushing aside a clump of low shrubs with his hand.
"The more complex the terrain, the more advantageous it is for us." Liu Qing said, "It is unlikely that bandits will track us in such a place."
"That's right," Lin Feng nodded in agreement, "We need to take advantage of the terrain and cross this dense forest as soon as possible."
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps ahead, and several people immediately became alert. They quickly hid behind a big tree, preparing for possible danger. After a while, a young figure ran out of the woods, stopped panting, and looked around.
"Who is it?" Liu Qing asked softly.
"Looks like a lost person." Su Yu guessed.
The young man obviously noticed them. He hesitated for a while and finally plucked up the courage to step forward. "Hello, my name is Zhao Ming. I got lost in the woods. Are you..."
"We are also lost people," Lin Feng replied with a smile, and at the same time motioned for everyone to relax their vigilance, "We plan to go to a safe place, and you should go together."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
A hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in Zhao Ming's eyes. "Really? Thank you so much! I'm not familiar with this place and can't find a way out."
"No problem," Lin Feng nodded, "It's always good for us to help each other more."
The group moved on, and with a new member joining, their group became more diverse. Zhao Ming is not familiar with the forest, but he is quite knowledgeable in other aspects, which makes the conversation between them very interesting.
"There are so many types of plants here!" Zhao Ming said excitedly, "These herbs can be used for treatment, and those fruits can satisfy hunger."
"Do you still know about herbal medicine?" Su Yu asked curiously.
"Yes, I have learned some knowledge about herbal medicine. Although I am not particularly proficient in it, it is enough to deal with some simple situations." Zhao Ming explained.
"That's great, we just need such talents." Lin Feng praised.
After passing through a dense forest, they came to an open area. Ahead is a rushing stream, the water makes a gurgling sound and looks particularly clear.
"We need to cross the river," Lin Feng looked at Mr. Yun, "Is there any good way?"
"This river is not wide. We can build a simple bridge to cross it." Mr. Yun suggested.
"Good idea!" Lin Feng agreed.
Several people began to build a simple bridge, and Zhao Ming also helped to pick up branches and stones. After some hard work, they finally built a simple but stable bridge. Everyone crossed the river carefully, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"It's finally over!" Liu Qing breathed out easily.
"There is a mountain ahead," Mr. Yun said, pointing to the rolling mountains in the distance. "We have to climb over this mountain to reach the town."
"Is everyone ready?" Lin Feng asked.
"Ready!" everyone replied in unison.
Just as they were preparing to set off, they suddenly heard a slight noise from behind. Several people immediately turned around and saw a few unfamiliar figures approaching quietly.
"Be careful!" Li Feng warned in a low voice.
Those few people obviously noticed them and quickened their pace. The leader was holding a short knife and had fierce eyes. He was obviously a member of the bandits.
"Here we go again!" Lin Feng said coldly, "I won't let you succeed easily this time."
"Stop! Hand over the map and property!" the bandit shouted loudly.
"Dream!" Lin Feng clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, preparing to fight.
The air suddenly became tense, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
"What should I do?" Su Yu asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will protect everyone." Mr. Yun said calmly.
Suddenly, a white light emitted from Mr. Yun's hand and hit the bandit leader directly. The man suddenly screamed and fell to the ground in pain. Seeing this, the other bandits retreated one after another, not daring to come forward again.
"What's going on?" Zhao Ming looked at Mr. Yun in surprise.
"This is just my little trick." Mr. Yun explained with a smile, "Now is not the time for small talk. Follow me quickly. It's very dangerous here."
Several people quickly followed Mr. Yun and climbed up the mountain road. The mountain road is getting steeper and steeper, surrounded by mist, as if you are in a fairyland.
"This mountain is so high!" Liu Qing exclaimed.
"The higher the better," Li Feng said with a smile, "This way it will be harder to catch up."
"There is an open space ahead," Mr. Yun said suddenly, "We can take a rest there."
Several people walked into the open space, and the surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of birdsong and the rustling of leaves in the wind. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps broke the silence.
"Are there any more enemies?" Li Feng asked nervously.
"No," Mr. Yun shook his head, "This time, he is the friend we need."
As soon as they finished speaking, a dozen uniformed soldiers appeared in front of them, and a man who looked like a general stepped forward.
"Who are you?" Li Feng asked doubtfully.
"We are the guards of the government," the general said. "I heard that you have experienced a lot of dangers along the way, so we came here to greet you."
"It turns out they are friendly forces!" Lin Feng said happily.
"Who is this?" The general turned his eyes to Mr. Yun.
"This is our good friend," Lin Feng introduced. "It was with his help that we were able to get here smoothly." (End of Chapter)
