Lin Feng looked around, trying to find the enemy's weaknesses. Suddenly, he discovered that an entrance to the lair seemed to be relatively weakly defended, but to get there, he had to pass through an area with the highest concentration of Zerg.
"We can only risk rushing over and entering the lair through that entrance. Maybe we can find a turning point." Lin Feng pointed to the entrance and said.
Chen Le looked at the dense Zerg with some hesitation in his heart, but when he saw Lin Feng's firm eyes, he took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, let's give it a try!"
Lily put away the defensive barrier, and the three of them mustered up their courage and rushed towards the Zerg. Lin Feng used powerful spiritual attacks to clear the way for them. Each attack could repel a group of Zerg, but soon more Zerg came up. Lily and Chen Le were also struggling to resist, but the number of Zerg was too great. Their progress was extremely slow, and wounds gradually appeared on their bodies.
Just as they were about to approach the entrance, a huge Zerg leader with a black aura slowly walked out of the lair. There was a cold murderous intent in its eyes. Just standing there made the surrounding people... The air seemed to freeze. It opened its bloody mouth and let out an earth-shaking roar. The powerful sound wave impact made Lin Feng and others feel dizzy and staggered instantly.
"What... what kind of monster is this?" Lily said in horror, her face turned pale.
Lin Feng endured the discomfort, knowing in his heart that the guy in front of him was the biggest dilemma they faced. They were exhausted and their spiritual power was about to be exhausted, but this Zerg leader seemed to possess extremely powerful power. It was almost an impossible task to break through it and enter the lair. But if they back down, all their previous efforts will be in vain, and it will be difficult for them to leave this dangerous place alive.
Just when Lin Feng and the others were about to despair, a strange light suddenly came from the depths of the lair, as if some powerful force was awakening. The Zerg leader's eyes also froze slightly, and it was obvious that he was also attracted by the sudden light.
"What's going on?" Chen Le asked doubtfully, his eyes fixed on the light.
Lin Feng frowned and whispered: "We have to be careful, we don't know what trouble it will be."
At this moment, a huge black figure slowly walked out from the depths of the lair. It was a monster much larger than the Zerg leader. Its body exuded a strange aura and its eyes were shining with green light. Lin Feng's heart sank, knowing that he had encountered a more difficult enemy this time.
"Everyone, be prepared and ready to fight at any time!" Lin Feng said solemnly.
Lily and Chen Le also became nervous. They each clenched the magic weapons in their hands, and their spiritual power was flowing throughout their bodies.
However, just as they were preparing to fight the new monsters, an old and slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the air: "Humph, a group of stupid brats actually dare to break in here!"
The three of them immediately looked around alertly, looking for the source of the sound. At this time, a group of black mist suddenly condensed and formed not far away, and a hunchbacked old witch slowly appeared. She was wearing a shabby robe, with a haggard face, but her cloudy eyes revealed shrewdness and cunning.
Lin Feng asked warily: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The old witch sneered and said: "My name is Youying, and I am the guardian of this place. You human beings who don't know the heights of the world, dare to disturb my peace, get out of here now!"
"What you said is too overbearing," Chen Le retorted, "This is not your territory originally, and what we want to investigate is the secret of the Zerg!"
"Secret?" Youying raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a contemptuous smile, "What secrets do those dirty bugs have? It's not worth your efforts. But if you really want to know, I can tell you some useful information. .”
When Lily heard this, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "What do you know? Please tell us!"
Shadow looked at them for a few times, and then slowly said: "There is an ancient underground ruin hidden in this valley, and the secrets of the Zerg are hidden there. But it is not easy to get in. In addition to having to deal with more Zerg, There are still some seals that need to be unlocked. I can help you, but I need to get a certain reward.”
Lin Feng thought to himself for a moment, and then nodded firmly: "As long as it can help us eliminate the Zerg, everything is negotiable. What reward do you want?"
Youying chuckled, stretched out his hand and counted a few fingers, "I want three things: first, a top-quality protective armor; second, a bottle of thousand-year-old herbal essence; third, a book about formations. What do you think of ancient books on Dharma practice? ”
The three of them looked at each other. Although these items were extremely precious, they also knew that the current situation was already very dangerous. If they could exchange for a glimmer of hope and important clues, it would still be worth the risk.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and said firmly: "Okay, we agree! But the condition is that you really help us find the underground ruins and enter them."
Shadow nodded in agreement. Then she waved her hand, and a strong wind immediately dispersed many of the swarming Zerg around, temporarily opening a passage for them.
"Follow me, little devils." Shadow shouted, turned around and walked deeper into the valley. Her footsteps didn't seem to be urgent, but every step she took made the surrounding insect swarms feel afraid and retreat.
Following this mysterious old witch, Lin Feng, Lily and Chen Le passed through dense insect swarms one after another. Shadow used strange secret techniques to drive away the Zerg from time to time along the way, making their movements much smoother.
Finally, after going through some twists and turns, a hidden cave entrance appeared in front of them. The cave entrance is covered with complex pattern carvings, which looks very ancient and full of mystery.
"This is the entrance to the underground ruins." Shadow said, "Remember to be mentally prepared before entering. Not only are there heavy Zerg troops inside, but there are also many traps."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the edge of the hole. In an instant, the entire stone door began to slowly open, revealing a dark passage.
Lin Feng looked at the unknown world ahead, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this adventure would determine his future destiny. "Everyone, be careful and we must successfully crack the secret here."
After saying this, he took the lead and stepped into the darkness, followed closely by Lily and Chen Le. Shadow stood there and watched silently. After they all entered, he closed the stone door again.
"I hope you won't disappoint me..." The shadow whispered to himself, and soon turned into a black smoke and disappeared. At the same time, somewhere underground, an inexplicable energy fluctuation is quietly rising, which seems to indicate that a more intense story is about to unfold.
Lin Feng, Lily and Chen Le walked into the dark passage, using the light left by the shadow to faintly illuminate the front. The passage is not wide, but it is fairly smooth. The stone walls on both sides are carved with complex patterns and ancient runes. The three of them felt a sense of oppression in their hearts, and they had to be careful every step they took.
After walking for about ten minutes, they came to a huge stone door. The carvings on the door are more complicated, with a gem emitting soft blue light inlaid in the middle, which looks a bit weird and mysterious.
"Is this the entrance?" Chen Le asked softly, his voice echoing in the empty cave. Lin Feng reached out to touch the blue gem and felt a warm wave. Suddenly, the stone door made a heavy roar and slowly opened to both sides. An ancient breath came to my face, as if it came from ancient times through time and space.
The three of them took a deep breath and stepped into the space behind the stone door. What comes into view is a vast hall surrounded by various statues, each of which is lifelike. There is a huge circular pattern several meters in diameter on the ground in the center, which seems to be a complex formation.
Lily curiously walked towards the center of the formation and observed carefully: "The carvings here are very special, it feels like an ancient spell."
Lin Feng nodded and glanced around: "Everyone, be careful. This place is full of unknowns. We can't be careless."
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above. The three people raised their heads and saw a huge dragonfly monster flying towards them. Its wings were as solid as steel, and its body was covered with thick carapace. A pair of cold eyes stared at them with a fierce gaze.
"What kind of monster is this!" Chen Le exclaimed, subconsciously raising the sword in his hand.
The dragonfly monster rushed down suddenly, its wings set off strong airflow, and it came straight towards the three of them. Lin Feng immediately waved his staff and sent out a spiritual beam attack. The dragonfly monster nimbly avoided the attack and swung its front paws back at Lin Feng.
Lily quickly cast a defensive barrier to protect Lin Feng within it. The dragonfly monster's sharp claws hit the barrier, bursting out with dazzling sparks, and the barrier instantly became blurry.
"Fight back quickly!" Chen Le shouted, quickly rushed forward and started a close combat with the dragonfly monster. The two were fighting together, and the scene was extremely fierce.
At this time, a strange tripod in the corner of the hall caught their attention. This cauldron is dark black in color, with strange runes engraved on its surface, emitting a faint light.
"There seems to be something wrong with that tripod." Lily pointed in that direction and reminded.
The dragonfly monster seemed to feel the threat, and turned to look at the tripod, with a hint of wariness in its eyes. Lin Feng took this opportunity to unleash a powerful fire attack, successfully forcing the dragonfly monster back a few steps.
"Let's rush over together!" Lin Feng commanded.
The three of them worked together to sprint towards Ding's position, constantly resisting attacks from dragonfly monsters along the way. Finally, after a fierce battle, they finally approached the mysterious tripod.
Lin Feng reached out and touched the tripod, feeling a warm and unfamiliar power pouring into his body. "This is..." He frowned, trying to decipher the complicated runes.
Just then, the dragonfly monster angrily attacks again. This time, it was clearly showing signs of action. Its whole body was filled with thick black air. When its wings flapped, a strong cyclone suddenly formed in the air.
"Be careful! It's going to attack again!" Chen Le warned loudly.
The three of them stood ready, each exerting their strongest strength to deal with the attack. Lily rearranged a more stable barrier, while Chen Le and Lin Feng fought back using their own weapons and spiritual powers respectively.
Suddenly, the runes in the cauldron glowed brightly, and a strange light shot out from the cauldron, hitting the dragonfly monster. The monster screamed, its whole body trembled violently, and finally turned into a ball of black smoke and dissipated in the air.
"What a powerful cauldron..." Lily exclaimed, walking to the cauldron and observing carefully, "It seems to be able to protect us automatically."
Lin Feng was also confused and continued to study the runes on the tripod. After a moment, he said thoughtfully: "This tripod should be some kind of seal, maybe it is the key to the secret of the Zerg we are looking for."
"In this case, we have to find a way to unlock these runes." Chen Le said.
Just as they were preparing to study further, the complex formation in the center of the hall suddenly lit up. The runes shone brightly and the surrounding air trembled.
"No, something is approaching!" Lily said eagerly.
A deep voice came from afar: "You stupid humans, you dare to break into my territory, pay the price now!"
The three of them stood together alertly, facing the unknown threat with firm eyes.
"No matter what it is, we must persist to the end." Lin Feng said solemnly, holding the staff in his hand tightly.
At this tense moment, the ground began to shake slightly, and an indescribable force was coming from all directions.
The vibrations on the ground became more and more intense, and along with a deep roar, countless small black figures emerged from the surrounding shadows. The three of them took a closer look and saw that they turned out to be a large group of huge lizard beasts, each one as big as an adult, with their eyes shining with bloodthirsty light.
"So many lizards!" Chen Le shouted in surprise, quickly holding his sword across his chest and preparing to fight.
These lizard monsters seemed to be under some kind of control and moved in unison. They roared and rushed towards the three of them. Lily immediately cast a defensive barrier, but a large number of lizards continued to attack the barrier, causing the barrier to tremble.
"We must find something to control these lizards." Lin Feng said calmly, while waving his staff, a fire dragon roared out, instantly igniting a dozen lizards and burning them to ashes.
Lily frowned and glanced around, trying to find the enemy hiding in the darkness. She noticed a stone in a corner of the hall emitting a faint green light, which seemed to guide the lizards. "There! Look at that glowing stone!" Lily shouted, pointing in that direction.
Lin Feng understood immediately, and while cooperating with Lily to use coherent spiritual attacks to resist the fierce attack of the lizards, Chen Le quickly rushed towards the stone. "Chen Le, go destroy it!"
Chen Le nodded and ran away, using his nimble skills to escape the encirclement of the lizards, and finally came to the strange stone. He kicked it away hard, and the stone cracked with a loud cracking sound. (End of chapter)
