"This place... ... There seems to be something wrong." Mu Yun whispered, clenched his sword and looked around. "Yes, there's a strange smell here." Li Han nodded in agreement, his eyes scanned sharply around him, alert to the extreme. He felt that every inch of the forest, every tree, seemed to hide a deadly danger. Suddenly, a slight groan broke the silence in the forest. The voice came from far away, with a tinge of pain and despair. Li Han and Mu Yun looked at each other and quickly rushed in the direction of the sound. Walking through several tall ancient trees, they saw an unexpected sight in an open clearing. In the middle of the clearing, the bodies of several men in black fell in a pool of blood, and a woman in white was half kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. Her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were full of tenacious perseverance. In spite of her serious injury, those cold eyes still revealed an unyielding will. "Who are you?" The woman found their arrival, raised her head, clutched the dagger in her hand with force, and asked alertly. Li Han and Mu Yun stopped and kept a certain distance so as not to make her feel threatened. Li Han slowly said, "We don't mean to hurt you." I just passed by here and heard the noise before I came to see it." The woman gazed at them coldly, apparently on guard against the sudden help. She stood up with difficulty, her body teetering with blood loss, but she still held on, unwilling to show a hint of weakness in front of strangers. Mu Yun saw her stubbornness and whispered to Li Han: "She is so hurt, a person must not go far." Li Han nodded in agreement. He knew that in this dangerous forest, being alone, especially injured, was almost the same as killing himself. He stepped forward, with a hint of gentleness in his voice: "You don't have to face this alone. We can help you." The woman clenched the dagger, apparently uneasy about Li Han's proximity, but she also understood her current situation. Her tight body relaxed a little, but her eyes remained wary: "I don't need your help." Li Han did not back down, he said in a firm tone: "We are not trying to force you to help, but think that in this dangerous place, one more person is one more security." You're hurt so badly now, and if you keep doing this, you may not even make it through tonight." The women were silent for a moment, apparently measuring their credibility. Eventually, she bowed her head and looked helpless: "Okay, but I can't drag you down." "You won't drag us down." Li Han smiled, "Helping each other here is the only way to survive." We are now in a boat." The woman looked up again, calmly looking at him, eyes seemed to have a little more trust: "My name is Ling Frost." "I'm Li Han, he's Mu Yun." Li Han introduced himself, reaching out to signal friendliness, "Let's go together, find a safe place, your injury needs to be dealt with." Ling Frost hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted Li Han's help. With the help of Li Han and Mu Yun, they began to look for refuge in the depths of the forest. Along the way, the air was filled with a smell of dampness and decay, and the trees around it seemed to move in the dark. Although Ling Frost is weak, she still maintains a clear head and is keenly aware of potential dangers. "This forest is not simple." Ling Frost suddenly whispered, his eyes looking around warily. Li Han nodded, and he felt a sense of unease: "We must find a safe place quickly." There could be a bigger threat here at any moment, "he said. They picked up their pace and finally found a relatively hidden cave in a dense forest. The entrance to the cave is covered by vines and shrubs, and there is not much space inside, but enough for them to rest for a while. "You lie down first, and I'll help you with the wound." Li Han went deep into the cave, found some dry branches, and lit the fire. The firelight illuminated the space inside the cave and dispelled the chill around it. Ling Frost sat down, although she was still some alert, but at this moment also had to rely on the help of these two strangers. Mu Yun took some herbs and gauze from her backpack and carefully dressed her wound. "You guys... ... Why are you here?" Ling Frost suddenly asked, with a hint of curiosity in his tone. "We're going through the trials of the secret." Li Han replied, his eyes condensed. "It is said that after trial, we can find some precious treasure. " Ling Frost was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Li Han's words. Then she sighed softly: "The secret is full of danger and unknown, you be careful." "We can do it." Li Han nodded, knowing that the trial was far from as simple as they thought. The night grew deeper, the wind outside the cave subsided, and silence resumed around it. Li Han, Mu Yun and Ling Frost sat down against the wall of the cave beside the fire, and although they had only just met, they had formed a temporary trust in this dangerous forest. "We're leaving tomorrow, looking for clues to the next phase." Li Han whispered, his eyes firm, "No matter what is ahead, we must persevere." Ling Frost looked at him, nodded slightly, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes. She understood that this trial was not only a test for them, but also a fate she had to face herself. The night was deep, the glimmer of the flame throbbing in the cave, and the three men were each immersed in different thoughts. The darkness before dawn was deepest, but they knew that if they persisted, the light would come.
