The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 449 Encounter

The barren mountain was rolling and undulating, like a sleeping dragon lying on the ground. The mountain was full of strange rocks, and the shapes of the rocks were different. Some looked like monsters with bared fangs and claws, and some looked like eagles spreading their wings to fly, as if telling the vicissitudes of life that the barren mountain had experienced. The weeds were overgrown, and those weeds grew so lush that they almost submerged the path in the mountain, giving people a gloomy and desolate feeling, as if this was a corner forgotten by the world. Only the whistling wind echoed in the mountains, as if telling the loneliness and desolation of the barren mountain.

Lin Ruoxue and the others searched the mountain carefully, their steps were very light, for fear of disturbing the unknown dangers that might be lurking in the barren mountain. Every move was cautious, they did not miss any place that might hide human traces, their eyes were as sharp as hawks, searching carefully in the barren mountain.

"Everyone, be careful. This place doesn't look peaceful. There might be some danger." Lin Ruoxue reminded softly. Although her voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the quiet and desolate mountains, like a bright light in the darkness, reminding everyone to stay alert at all times.

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued to go deeper into the barren mountain. Their figures shuttled through the barren mountain like a few brave ants exploring a huge and mysterious castle.

As they were searching around, they suddenly heard a faint cry for help. The cry for help was particularly abrupt in the quiet mountain, like a huge rock suddenly dropped on the calm lake, instantly breaking the original tranquility. Everyone was startled, looked at each other, and then rushed towards the source of the sound like an arrow shot out.

After turning a mountain pass, they saw a ragged man surrounded by several wild wolves in front of a cave. The man was holding a wooden stick and waving it vigorously, trying to drive away the wild wolves, but the wild wolves gathered more and more, and the situation was very critical. The wild wolves' eyes flashed a fierce green light in the dark, their fangs reflected a cold light in the moonlight, and they made low roars, as if they were protesting to the humans in front of them, or celebrating the upcoming "delicious meal".

"Go save them!" Lin Ruoxue shouted. Her voice was filled with determination, and she rushed towards the dangerous place without hesitation.

Everyone rushed forward immediately. Su Yiyun used his fists and feet. His body was as fast as lightning. Every punch and kick was powerful. He kept shouting, "Look at how I deal with you beasts!" His momentum seemed to knock all the wild wolves to the ground. Li Qingqing and Qiluo drew their swords to help. The swords in their hands flashed coldly in the moonlight. They were skilled in swordsmanship. Every sword thrust was at a precise angle, trying to break through the encirclement of the wild wolves. Lin Ruoxue also joined the battle. She was agile and used the surrounding environment to deal with the wild wolves, sometimes avoiding the attacks of the wild wolves and sometimes giving them fatal blows. Several people worked together and quickly repelled the wild wolves and saved the man.

The man was still in shock, looking at Lin Ruoxue and the others with gratitude in his eyes. After he calmed down a little, Lin Ruoxue asked, "Brother, how come you are alone in this desolate mountain and encounter wild wolves?" Her voice was full of concern and her eyes were full of doubt.

The man sighed and said, "Hey, I came to this mountain to find some herbs, but I didn't expect to encounter a wild wolf. Thank you for saving my life. May I know your names?" His voice was tired, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and his body and mind were still in a state of extreme exhaustion.

Lin Ruoxue said: "You're welcome, brother. My name is Lin Ruoxue and these are all my friends. We came to this mountain to look for a brother named Muzili. Have you ever heard of him?" There was an expectation in her tone, hoping that the person in front of them who had just been rescued could bring them new clues.

When the man heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he said, "Mu Zi Li? You are looking for him? I... I am Mu Zi Li!" There was a sense of disbelief in his voice, as if he had not expected to meet someone looking for him under such circumstances.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and then they were overjoyed. They didn't expect that after all the hardships, they would find the key person here. The joy was like a flood that instantly flooded their bodies and minds.

"Brother Li, it's really a relief to finally find someone you love! We have been looking for you for a long time and have many questions to ask you." Su Yiyun said excitedly. His face was filled with a bright smile, which seemed to dispel the gloom and desolation of the barren mountain.

Mu Zili looked at everyone and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking for me? I haven't been in the world for a long time. Now I live in seclusion here, and I don't want to get involved in any disputes anymore." There was a kind of vigilance in his eyes. After all, he had been away from the world for a long time. It was inevitable that he would have some doubts in his heart about these strangers who suddenly came to him.
