chapter 291: Sacrificing One's Life to Save

All of a sudden, blood stained Helian Yun's back. In such a situation, Han Yue didn't notice any abnormality about Helian Yun at all.

It was clearly only ten steps away, but Helian Yun felt as if it was a ten - mile journey. The little internal energy he had just recovered was completely exhausted at this moment. However, Helian Yun knew that he couldn't fall at this time. If he did, both of them would be in great danger.

At this moment, Helian Yun began to regret why he had risked his life to save a person who was completely unrelated to him just for the so - called justice in his heart. They had only met a few times, and they could hardly be called friends.

The sandstorm blurred Helian Yun's vision, making it impossible for him to see the road ahead clearly. He could only move forward by his instinct.

Han Yue was tightly held in his arms. Looking at his face dried by the sandstorm, Han Yue felt a strange feeling in her heart, a feeling called warmth. After being independent for so long, she seemed to have found a reliance at this moment.

"Th...thank you..." Han Yue gently moved her lips and uttered these two words. But the sound of the sandstorm drowned out her voice, so Helian Yun didn't hear what she said at all.

It was the last step...

Helian Yun felt as if he had been completely drained. Relying on sheer willpower, he finally reached the entrance of the cave. He didn't know when he would lose his strength, so he directly threw Han Yue into the cave.

Maybe Han Yue would get hurt when she landed on the ground, but it was better than being swept away by the sandstorm.

Han Yue's body drew a perfect arc in the air and then fell heavily on the ground. She felt as if her internal organs were about to be injured.

Fortunately, she had safely reached the inside of the cave, where she was protected from the sandstorm outside.

However, Han Yue didn't see Helian Yun's figure. She stared out of the cave entrance, only seeing the sky full of yellow sand and nothing else.

All of a sudden, Han Yue panicked. She crawled towards the entrance with difficulty, shouting Helian Yun's name, but there was no response.

Han Yue wanted to go out to look for Helian Yun, but before she got close to the entrance, she felt a suction force. If she took one more step out, she might be swept away by the sandstorm.

So she had no choice but to wait anxiously here, hoping that Helian Yun was still alive and hadn't been swept away by the sandstorm!

At this moment, Han Yue also regretted. She wasn't like this before. She didn't know why she always lost her composure when she met Helian Yun and always liked to oppose him.

"Helian Yun, don't die..." Han Yue could do nothing at this moment. She could only pray silently for Helian Yun in her heart.

Sure enough, not long after, Han Yue saw a pair of hands in the sandstorm. If she hadn't been lying on the ground, she might not have seen them.

"Helian Yun! Is that you, Helian Yun!" Han Yue was like a person who had caught a glimmer of light in the darkness. She shouted desperately!

But there was no response from the other side.

Han Yue could only lie on the ground to reduce the suction force of the storm on herself, and then slowly crawled towards the pair of hands.

Han Yue only felt the horror of the sandstorm at the edge. She couldn't even imagine how much pain Helian Yun, who was outside the cave entrance, had to bear!

Crawling out little by little, Han Yue's hand finally touched the pair of hands. Squinting her eyes, she took a peek at the owner of the hands. It was undoubtedly Helian Yun!

At this moment, Helian Yun had dug his five fingers firmly into the ground. Since he had no strength to support himself, this was the only way he could think of to hold on for a while. As long as he could survive the sandstorm, it would be okay.

Han Yue grabbed Helian Yun's wrist, trying to relieve some of his pressure with her own strength. But Han Yue underestimated the power of the sandstorm.

Not to mention saving Helian Yun, Han Yue felt as if she was about to be sucked out.

This wasn't a good solution. If they couldn't hold on until the sandstorm ended, both of them would be in danger of losing their lives.

Just at this critical moment, Han Yue took out the dagger that she had once held against Helian Yun's neck and stabbed it firmly into the ground. This could be regarded as a support point for herself, preventing her from being sucked out.

I don't know how long it took, but the sandstorm outside the cave entrance seemed to be weakening. This was undoubtedly a good thing for Helian Yun and Han Yue.

Gradually, the sandstorm finally subsided, and Han Yue finally saw Helian Yun's current situation clearly.

The word "miserable" couldn't even accurately describe Helian Yun's appearance. Blood was constantly oozing from many parts of his body. It was the sand covering his body that stopped the blood from flowing continuously. But the sand had mixed with the blood and stuck firmly to Helian Yun's skin.

At this time, Helian Yun's wounds should be washed with water as soon as possible, but in this desert, there was no clean water to wash his wounds.

Han Yue was a person who had seen the world, but when she saw Helian Yun's wounds, she couldn't help taking a deep breath.

After the sandstorm passed, looking at the setting sun, Han Yue estimated that it was almost evening. According to what Helian Yun had told her before, she determined that this was the safest time to enter the desert.

So Han Yue summoned up her courage, put the only supplies that Helian Yun had left in the cave on her body.

Fortunately, there were two water flasks here, both filled with water. Han Yue tore her skirt into strips, dipped them in water, and carefully wiped the wounds on Helian Yun's body. She then tore some of her inner clothes into strips to simply bandage Helian Yun's wounds.

Then she carried Helian Yun on her back and walked out of the cave to look for a way out.

Although it was temporarily safe in this cave, due to the lack of supplies, they couldn't survive for long. So they had to go out to look for another chance of survival.

Relying on the faint starlight, Han Yue could still see the road clearly. She walked step by step on the sand. Sweat dripped from her cheeks onto the sand, leaving shallow marks.

During this time, Helian Yun woke up once, but only to drink a few sips of water.

After drinking a few sips of water, Helian Yun suddenly spoke: "The North Star..."

But after saying these three words, he fell into a coma again. Han Yue didn't know what Helian Yun meant.
