From the gaps in the stone door, shooting directly at me… Suddenly, a figure blocked in front of me, hugging me as we fell and rolled several times. The arrows from the stone door continued to fly out. Someone had actually used the stone door and animal trap as a mechanism. If I had stepped on the trap, I would have been riddled with holes by now.
“Ugh…” the figure hugging me suddenly groaned in pain. My gaze immediately shifted from the flying arrows to him. I saw his right arm was bloody, with an arrow deeply embedded in his right shoulder.
“Your arm…”
“Won’t die!” Night Lock difficultly propped himself up half-sitting, his teeth clenched tightly. Seeing the arrows had stopped, he suddenly asked sharply, “Who told you to come to the Forbidden Mountain?”
“Ah!” As a drop of blood sprayed onto my face, he gently bit my hand, but quickly, the bite turned into a kiss. I could clearly feel the trembling of the kiss. He must be in pain, yet didn’t want to hurt me. I pulled out my hand and took the black cloak, intending to tear it into strips to bandage his wound. After much effort, I tore the cloak into pieces and carefully bandaged his wound. Then I draped his arm over my shoulder and slowly helped him stand up. Looking at the towering mountains, I helplessly said, “What should we do? I can’t fly.”
“Hehe…” A faint smile instantly appeared on his pale face. He reached into his chest and pulled out a short jade flute, placing it in his mouth and playing softly. The melody was beautiful, with rising and falling tones that were particularly crisp and clear in the deep valley, mesmerizing to listen to. After playing for a while, he began to cough weakly. I couldn’t bear it and grabbed the flute, “Are you calling for help? Let me play.”
“Do you understand musical notes?”
“No.”
After a long time, seven colorful figures flew down from the outer mountain – the Rainbow Clothing’s death warriors! They were stunned when they saw me supporting Night Lock, and only after a moment did they take him from my hands. The scene was somewhat similar to when Liu Yu left me, but this time, I would leave with them.
