Chapter 307 Come to the Rescue
"Damn it, it's poisonous fog!" Hu Zhen roared through gritted teeth, forcibly suppressing the poison in his body, his aura still powerful.
However, Wang Mingyang on the other side was not so lucky. He was already severely injured, with very little spiritual energy left, and was completely unable to resist the corrosive effects of the Myriad Poison Swamp. The poisonous mist invaded his body, his face instantly turned ashen, his whole body convulsed, and he rolled on the ground in agony.
"Ahhh! Help me! Deputy Captain Hu, help me!" Wang Mingyang's screams echoed across the battlefield, his voice filled with despair.
Hu Zhen glanced at Wang Mingyang, his face growing even more grim. Although he had suppressed the poison, his spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, clearly unable to maintain this state for long. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Mo Ming, do you think mere poisonous mist can subdue me? Today, I will kill you!"
After saying that, Hu Zhen forcibly suppressed the poison in his body and rushed towards Mo Ming again, his long sword slashing down with boundless rage.
However, just as Hu Zhen's attack was about to land, a bolt of lightning shot through the air from afar, heading straight for Hu Zhen!
"boom!"
The lightning transformed into a thunder dragon, slamming into Hu Zhen's longsword and abruptly interrupting his attack. Hu Zhen was forced back several steps, and he looked up in the direction from which the lightning had come, his eyes filled with rage.
The silver-armored youth, spear in hand and crackling with lightning, slowly approached. His face was still pale, but his eyes shone with unwavering determination.
"Lin Ye, this has nothing to do with you!" Hu Zhen's face darkened, clearly not expecting the silver-armored youth to suddenly intervene. "Does your Cangyun Mountain really intend to oppose our Eastern Main City?"
Lin Ye was the name of the silver-armored youth.
Mo Ming, who was standing to the side, was also slightly shocked. He hadn't expected that they actually knew each other!
"Hahaha, Hu Zhen, you think too highly of yourself!"
Lin Ye laughed instead of getting angry, "Go against your Eastern Main City? I can represent Cangyun Mountain, but can you represent the Eastern Main City?"
"You!" Hu Zhen gritted his teeth, clearly unwilling to accept defeat, but at this moment the poison in his body was spreading rapidly, and the depletion of his spiritual power made him unable to fight any longer.
Moreover, he really couldn't represent the main city of the East! After all, his motives weren't pure either. At first, he protected Wang Mingyang to save face, but later he was determined to kill Mo Ming in order to seize the diamond resource box.
He snorted coldly, looking at Mo Ming and Lin Ye with a sinister gaze, but ultimately did not make a move.
Lin Ye didn't look at Hu Zhen again, but turned and walked towards Mo Ming. He reached out and helped Mo Ming up, saying in a low voice, "Mo Ming, let's go."
Mo Ming glanced at Lin Ye. Although he was puzzled, he was indeed too weak to fight any longer. He nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Thank you."
Lin Ye didn't say much. With a flick of his spear, lightning formed a barrier, keeping the poisonous mist at bay. He helped Mo Ming up, and in a flash, they swiftly left the battlefield.
Hu Zhen watched the two leave, his face terribly grim. He glanced down at Wang Mingyang, who was still struggling in pain on the ground, and said coldly, "Useless!"
On the battlefield, the poisonous fog gradually dissipated, but the cracks in the ground and the devastation revealed the fierce battle that had just taken place. Hu Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold light; the feud between the two sides was now firmly established.
……
Lin Ye helped Mo Ming walk quickly until they were completely away from the battlefield before stopping. They were surrounded by a quiet forest; the poisonous fog was now behind them, and the fresh air finally allowed Mo Ming to breathe a sigh of relief.
He leaned against a large tree, pale-faced and panting, his eyes filled with a complex emotion. He looked at Lin Ye and asked in a deep voice, "Lin Ye, why did you save me? We don't have any connection, do we?"
Lin Ye planted his spear in the ground, leaning against it as he stood. Lightning flickered faintly around him, indicating that he hadn't fully recovered. He glanced at Mo Ming and said calmly, "You're right, we don't really have any connection. But I saved you, not for your sake."
"Oh?" Mo Ming frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "Then what is it for?"
Lin Ye sighed softly, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness: "People like Hu Zhen, who rely on the name of the Eastern Main City to act arrogantly, have long been disliked by me. What's more, his motives this time are not pure at all. He is clearly trying to seize resources, but he is using the guise of saving people. He is extremely hypocritical."
He paused, then looked intently at Mo Ming: "As for you... although I don't know what grudge you have with Hu Zhen, I know that you two are not on the same path."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming remained silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "You see things very clearly. I know that Hu Zhen did target me to seize resources. However, aren't you afraid of offending the Eastern Main City by doing this? Although he can't represent the Eastern Main City, he is, after all, the deputy captain of the Eastern Main City, and his backing is considerable."
Lin Ye's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone sharp and menacing: "So what if it's the Eastern Main City? Cangyun Mountain has never feared them. Besides, I, Lin Ye, never act according to the whims of others. If Hu Zhen dares to cause me trouble because of this, I'll fight him to the bitter end!"
Mo Ming looked at Lin Ye's resolute expression and felt a slight tremor in his heart. He suddenly understood why this silver-armored youth could display such fearless momentum on the battlefield. Lin Ye's strength lay not only in his physical power, but also in his character and courage.
"However..." Lin Ye suddenly changed the subject, staring sharply at Mo Ming, "Don't be too happy yet. I saved you just because I don't like Hu Zhen, it doesn't mean we're friends. If you ever get in my way, I won't hold back either."
Mo Ming paused for a moment, then laughed: "You're quite frank. However, I, Mo Ming, will remember this favor. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay it."
Lin Ye withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I hope you can live to see that day."
After saying that, Lin Ye was about to turn and leave when Mo Ming suddenly remembered something and called out, "Hey! Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The diamond resource box hasn't been distributed yet!"
The allure of the diamond resource chest was undeniable, but they had already agreed to split it equally, and Mo Ming wasn't one to renege on a promise. Moreover, this person had just saved him; he was even less likely to keep the treasure for himself and betray his trust.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye turned around and smiled slightly, then turned back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! I knew I wasn't wrong, you really are a man!"
That's a level 3 resource chest, how could you resist such a temptation?
Are you testing me?
"Not really. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really left. It's just that if we met again, we would only be enemies!"
"Oh? What about now?"
"Now that you've resisted temptation and kept your promise, you're worthy of my friendship!"
Mo Ming smiled calmly, "It has nothing to do with temptation or not. We just agreed to split it equally beforehand. As long as you don't break the agreement first, I naturally won't renege on the deal."
Besides, you just saved my life, so... you deserve it!
"Hahaha, good!"
