Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

"Su Ye, it's over!" the hunter shouted and ran to Su Ye with his seriously injured body.

"Let's go, we can't fight to the death here!" Su Ye panted, used up his last bit of strength to stand up, and grabbed the hunter's arm.

"Okay..." The hunter nodded and helped Yuqing up. The three of them began to retreat with difficulty, hoping to find a chance to escape.

The old man did not chase them immediately, but sneered at their fleeing figures: "Want to escape? That's not that easy."

Suddenly, a strange wind blew, and everything around them became gloomy. Su Ye and the other two stopped and looked around vigilantly.

"Where is this place?" Yu Qing asked in a low voice, holding the broken bowstring tightly in her hand.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a safe place." Su Ye replied, looking around at the trees.

At this moment, a clear child's voice rang out: "Hey, brothers and sisters, is it fun here?"

The three of them turned around suddenly and saw a little girl standing not far away. She was wearing tattered clothes and had a strange smile on her face.

"Who are you?" Su Ye asked warily, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand.

The little girl tilted her head and said with a smile, "My name is Huahua. Are you brothers and sisters tired? Do you want to follow Huahua to find something to eat?"

The hunter whispered to Su Ye: "There's something wrong with this little girl, be careful."

Su Ye nodded and said to the little girl: "Hua Hua, do you know where we can find a safe place? We need to rest."

"Of course, come with me!" The little girl skipped in front and led them into a dense forest.

The three followed closely behind, their hearts full of vigilance. They knew that the situation was extremely critical and any small mistake could cost them their lives.

After passing through the dense forest, they came to a secluded hut. It seemed that no one had lived in the hut for a long time, and the roof was covered with moss.

"This is it!" the little girl said happily, pushing open the creaking door. "You guys go in and have a rest."

The three of them hesitated for a moment, but still went into the hut. The hut was simple, but fairly clean. They sat down quickly and began to check their injuries.

Su Ye tore off a piece of cloth and tied it on the wound. The pain made him gasp. "We need to recover our strength quickly. That old man won't let us go easily."

The hunter nodded and handed Su Ye a bottle of herbal juice: "These are some herbs I collected before, they should be helpful to you."

Su Ye took it and looked at Hunter and Yu Qing gratefully: "Thank you."

"Why would a family say such things?" Yuqing smiled. Although her face was pale, she still tried her best to comfort everyone.

Just as the three of them were taking a short break, they heard faint footsteps outside. The little girl's voice rang out, "Come out quickly, the old man is here!"

The three of them immediately became alert, grabbed their weapons, and quickly ran to the door. As soon as they went out, they saw the old man walking slowly towards them, his eyes full of coldness.

"It seems you have found a hiding place." The old man sneered, his tone revealing unquestionable murderous intent, "But this will only make things more interesting."

Su Ye stood in front of the three people, straightened his chest and faced the old man: "No matter what, we will stick to it to the end!"

"Hold on? Haha, then let's see how long you can hold on." The old man flashed and launched another fierce attack.

"Be careful!" the hunter reminded, and quickly dodged, while Yuqing also started shooting arrows to support Su Ye.

The old man's figure shuttled through the woods like a ghost, and each attack brought endless pressure. Su Ye gritted his teeth and tried to resist his attack, but the strength in his body seemed to be gradually exhausted.

"Hold on, Su Ye!" Yu Qing's bowstring sounded, and arrow after arrow was shot at the old man, trying to buy him more breathing time.

"It's useless, little kids." The old man sneered, dodging every arrow easily, and continued to attack Su Ye without stopping.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out: "Enough! Stop bullying the weak!" Before the voice fell, a girl in a blue dress appeared at the edge of the battlefield. There was a hint of determination on her face, and the long sword in her hand was shining with silver light.

"Lin Yao?!" Su Ye exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the girl who had helped them during their cultivation.

"It's you guys. Why are you here?" Lin Yao said with a smile, her tone full of concern, "It looks like you're in trouble."

The old man's eyes flashed with surprise, he stopped attacking and turned to look at Lin Yao. "Oh? Another little kid? What do you think you can change?"

"You old fool!" the hunter shouted, struggling to get up from the ground, staring at the old man with angry eyes.

"Lin Yao, we really need your help." Su Ye said, panting, but there was more hope in his heart.

Lin Yao nodded and rushed forward with his sword. "Don't just stand there, let's deal with him together!"

As Lin Yao joined the battle, the situation began to change. Her swordsmanship was smooth and sharp, and every time she struck out her sword, she could accurately block the old man's attack. The three of them worked together, and although they were still at a disadvantage, they had more ability to fight than before.

"Hmph, quite interesting." The old man's face darkened, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "But, that's all!"

After saying that, the old man clapped his hands, and a powerful force surged out of his body, forming a huge shock wave that swept everything around him. Lin Yao and the other two fought hard, but were still forced to retreat step by step by this powerful force.

"Think of a solution quickly!" Su Ye shouted loudly, with determination in his eyes.

"I have an idea." Lin Yao suddenly had an idea. "We can use the terrain to our advantage! The trees here are densely packed and can easily block our view. As long as we can hold him back for a while, we'll have a chance to escape!"

"Let's do it!" Hunter and Yuqing nodded quickly, and the four of them started to act in tacit understanding. They shuttled back and forth in the woods, constantly changing positions with the help of the complex environment, making it difficult for the old man to fully exert his strength.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a childish voice came from not far away: "Brothers and sisters, there is a secret passage over there that leads to the outside of the forest!" It was the little girl Huahua! She had stood to one side without knowing when, still wearing shabby clothes, and still had that weird smile on her face.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they understood. Although they still had doubts about this unexpected helper, in this situation, no opportunity could be missed.

"Follow me!" Lin Yao took the lead and moved quickly in the direction Hua Hua pointed. Everyone followed closely behind. Although the old man reacted quickly, he was also delayed for a long time by the dense forest.

"Want to escape? Impossible!" The old man roared and chased after them, but they had already run into the secret passage that Huahua mentioned.

In the dark and narrow passage, the tension and anxiety in the hearts of the four people gradually dissipated. At this moment, the only thing that mattered was trust and cooperation between each other.

"This passage is very long, we must remain vigilant." Su Ye whispered.

"It's okay, just be careful." Lin Yao patted his shoulder and gave him a comforting smile.

Just as everyone was moving forward with full concentration, a strange sound suddenly broke the silence in the darkness...

"That is..." Yuqing said nervously.

"It seems like something is coming!" the hunter shouted.

"Keep quiet," Su Ye ordered in a low voice, tightening his grip on the weapon. In the darkness, everyone held their breath, only hearing each other's heartbeats and rapid breathing. Suddenly, a hissing sound came from the front of the passage, as if some creature was approaching.

"What's that sound?" Yu Qing asked nervously, with the arrow in her hand already on the bow.

Lin Yao gently waved her hand to signal everyone to stop, "Don't act rashly, let's listen carefully first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge snake appeared in the dim light, coiled on the ground and slowly moved. The snake's eyes emitted a faint red light in the darkness, which made people feel cold. The hunter instinctively pulled the hunting crossbow in his hand and aimed it in the direction of the giant snake. "I will deal with it." The hunter's voice was low but full of determination.

"Wait!" Lin Yao quickly reached out to stop him, "This snake doesn't seem to want to attack us, maybe we can go around it."

Su Ye nodded, "That's right, time is precious, don't waste unnecessary energy."

They began to move forward cautiously along the wall, trying not to disturb the giant snake. Finally, after a long journey, they found a secret door leading to the outside world. Lin Yao went forward to check it out, and did not detect any dangerous aura, so he quickly pushed it open.

When the sun shone on everyone again, everyone took a deep breath - the smell of freedom in the air made people feel much more at ease. However, there was no time to sigh for surviving the disaster, because the hunter's injuries were still worsening.

"We must find a way to treat him immediately!" Yuqing said anxiously, looking at the hunter whose face was getting paler and paler.

Su Ye frowned and said, "I know there is a herbalist in the west who is said to be able to make a medicine that can bring the dead back to life, but the journey is long and full of unknown dangers."

"There is no other choice," Lin Yao answered firmly, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must try to the end."

The four of them exchanged glances and made a decision. Lin Yao would be responsible for protecting the hunters, while Su Ye and Yu Qing would be the pioneers to explore the way and keep an eye on the safety of the surroundings.

As the group was walking through the forest looking for a way out, they suddenly heard familiar and terrifying footsteps coming from afar...

"Oh no, it's that old man!" Yu Qing shouted in a low voice, pointing forward with trembling fingers.

The cold-blooded old man was walking towards them quickly. It seemed that he had discovered the secret entrance to the secret passage and was following closely.

Faced with the sudden situation, everyone immediately got ready for battle. Su Ye drew the long sword from his waist and blocked it in front of him; Yu Qing prepared the last few precious arrows; Lin Yao protected the hunter who was seriously injured and unable to fight.

At this critical moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the air. Then a figure landed silently beside everyone - it was Huahua! She still had that elusive smile on her face, and a mysterious map in her hand.

"Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid. This map can help you quickly pass through the forest." The little girl's voice was a little too sweet, which made people feel creepy in such an urgent situation.

Although they were skeptical about the child's true intentions, they had no other choice now. "Let's go!" Su Ye immediately gave the order and led everyone to the deep forest according to the instructions on the map.

Although there were still all kinds of rare and exotic animals and even more dangerous enemies along the way, these people overcame them one by one with their strong will and tacit cooperation. Just when they were about to reach their destination...

"Wait... there's an ambush here." Lin Yao suddenly stopped and said, she keenly sensed the danger hidden not far away.

Immediately afterwards, countless flying knives fell from the sky, rushing towards the unsuspecting Su Ye with a clear target!

"Watch out for your back!" Lin Yao rushed over and pushed him away, but her shoulder was cut by the sharp metal, and the blood immediately dyed her blue dress red.

Su Ye looked back and saw all this, his eyes flashing with anger and gratitude. "Are you okay?!"

Lin Yao shook her head and forced a smile, "No...it's okay. The more important thing now is to quickly find that legendary herbalist..."

Yuqing also came forward to help stop the bleeding and bandage the wound. "No matter what, we have to thank this lady... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have already..."

"That's enough." Lin Yao interrupted, looking at the outline of the small village looming in the distance with a look of relief, "I think our destination may not be far away... but we still have to be careful."

Although the hunter was weak, his eyes were still firm: "No matter what, we must persevere to the end! We can't let everyone down..."

In this way, as they continued to move forward, they supported each other and faced many difficulties together, and finally arrived at the place where the herbalist lived...

"Please help us, there is a companion here who is seriously injured..." Yuqing pleaded impatiently.

An old lady dressed simply but with a wise air came out upon hearing the voice, glanced at the unconscious hunter and nodded: "Come in with me, I'll give it a try."

The four followed the old lady into her simple but herbal house. The old lady asked everyone to gently place the hunter on a clean mat, and then began to busy herself, searching for the necessary herbs among a pile of bottles and jars. The room was filled with all kinds of strange smells, but everyone held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that this old man who was said to be able to work miracles could restore their friend's health.

"Do you need any help?" Lin Yao took the initiative to ask for help. She hoped to speed up the treatment process and ensure that this place was safe. (End of this chapter)
