"Hahaha, you are finally here!" The man's voice was hoarse and gloomy, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Lin Feng immediately drew his sword and was on guard, staring at the man. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The ugly man licked his lips, with a greedy light in his eyes: "I am the master here, the king of this dark forest. I heard that some people are self-righteous The heroes have come to my territory, so I came here to 'greet' you."
Chen Le snorted coldly. "Stop talking nonsense, what do you want?"
"Oh, I want you outsiders to understand that this is my territory and no one is allowed to do whatever they want. Break in." The ugly man's eyes became more fierce, "I want you to see my power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding trees seemed to move. Thick vines emerged from the ground and swept toward Lin Feng and others crazily. Chen Le quickly swung his swords to cut off several incoming vines, but more came out continuously, almost drowning them.
"This can't go on like this, we have to find a loophole!" Feng Yan whipped the approaching vines with a long whip and shouted to everyone, "This vine should be under his control, focus on attacking that person!"
Lily raised her magic wand high and chanted a spell. A beam of light instantly shone on the ugly man, causing him to groan in pain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Feng flew up and held a long sword directly at the opponent's throat. The ugly man hurriedly dodged and barely avoided the fatal blow, but a deep wound was made on his shoulder, and blood immediately flowed down.
“Damn boy, how dare you hurt me!” The ugly man was so angry that his eyes almost burst out with fire. He waved his hands, and the cut vines returned to their original shape and became stronger and stronger.
At the same time, the thunderstorm also made a deafening roar not far away. He raised his giant hammer and hit the ground hard, stirring up dust all over the sky. "Brothers, work harder, this guy is not easy to deal with!" Xiao Ran looked quite calm, and even looked at this scene a little triumphantly, with a playful smile on his lips.
The battle became more intense, and deafening sounds were heard everywhere: the sharp blades made a clear and loud metal impact sound when chopping flesh; flames and lightning intertwined into a gorgeous and deadly brilliance; there were also endless wailing and curses - the whole area seemed to be filled with noise. Caught in this craze.
Seeing that the dawn of victory was about to come, but just when everyone thought they were about to defeat the ugly man, he suddenly sneered and jumped into the air and disappeared. Then, without warning, he appeared behind Feng Yan again, ready to deliver a fatal blow!
At the critical juncture, the figure of a mysterious woman who had never appeared suddenly appeared, blocking the opponent's attack with lightning speed and slapping one of her palms away. "Hurry up and get rid of all the enemies here and follow me! Time is running out!" The unprecedented sense of urgency in his tone made everyone dare not slack off, so they immediately regrouped and launched into the next more difficult battle.
After a brutal and long fight, the last resistance force of the ugly man was finally defeated. When he was dying and lying on the ground struggling to breathe, the mysterious woman spoke again to break the temporary calm:
"We must move on to our next destination immediately. But remember - the real test is yet to come"
As soon as the mysterious woman finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt a sharp pain in their bodies, as if countless needles were pricking their skin. Feng Yan was the first to fall down, his face as pale as paper. "No... we might have been poisoned!" Chen Le also staggered a few steps and forced himself to look at the others.
"This damn guy is secretly poisoning us! We have to find the antidote quickly!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and braced himself, but his voice had begun to tremble.
Xiao Ran's face was solemn: "Now is not the time to hold people responsible, we must leave here immediately."
Lily chanted the spell with difficulty, trying to use magic to relieve everyone's symptoms, but found that Her powers are severely limited in this cursed place. "The environment here... is too weird, my magic doesn't work."
At this moment, the mysterious woman stood up, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Follow me, I know how to detoxify ." She turned and ran forward, and the four of them could only keep up, each step was like dancing on the tip of a knife.
The dense forest is getting denser and denser, and a vague mist seems to be filling the surroundings. There were bursts of strange sounds in the air, as if there were many unknown creatures whispering, which made people panic.
"Stop, don't go any further." Xiao Ran suddenly shouted, reaching out to stop everyone, "It feels wrong, there is something here."
As soon as he finished speaking, people around them The scene suddenly changed - the dense and deep forest just now turned into an open and open prairie. The sun was so bright that it was hard to believe that it was as dark and depressing as before. Several people were stunned and at a loss for a moment.
"What the hell is this place?" Lin Feng looked around vigilantly, clenching the sword in his hand, trying to find clues from this strange change.
After pondering for a moment, the mysterious woman replied: "This is an illusion... We must break it as soon as possible, otherwise we will never get out. Concentrate and don't be fooled by false appearances."
< br>
After that, she closed her eyes and began to recite some obscure language silently. As these ancient and powerful spells were awakened, the entire space began to twist and tremble, and the distinction between illusion and reality became blurred. Gradually, with the efforts and cooperation of everyone, the world in front of them became eerie and terrifying again, returning to its original appearance - but at this time, they no longer knew which direction they were heading.
While a group of people were struggling to find a way out in the maze-like forest, a huge strange bird passed overhead with a shrill cry, leaving a few traces of dark wings. Followed by countless small flying monsters pounced on the ground to attack!
"Disperse to avoid the attack!" Lily was the first to react and shouted the order, and quickly released a ball of dazzling light to disperse the approaching first wave of attacks.
At the same time, Lei Bao swung a giant hammer and hit the ground, causing vibrations and causing those who came close to fall; Lin Feng led others to use their agility to shuttle between the trees to fight back... The battle broke out again!
However, as time goes by, the toxicity in everyone's body becomes more and more serious - loss of physical strength, confusion, and even breathing becomes increasingly difficult... The situation becomes more and more critical...
< br>
"Hold on... we can't just fall down..." Xiao Ran's voice was weak but full of determination. He tried to encourage everyone to muster up the last bit of fighting spirit and give it a try, "That woman said there was a way to solve this problem... we must find her as soon as possible. The only way out is the exit!"
Just when everyone was on the verge of despair, a slight and familiar call came from not far ahead - it was the mysterious woman who had been missing for a long time and was coming here!
Just when everyone was on the verge of despair, a slight and familiar call came from not far ahead - it was the mysterious woman who had been missing for a long time and was coming here! "Quick, follow me!" The mysterious woman ran back panting, holding several bottles of small blue liquid in her hands, "This is the antidote! Drink it quickly."
Everyone quickly took the potion and drank it in one gulp. Soon, the unbearable stinging feeling began to subside, and the physical strength was slowly restored.
"Thank you, now we can last longer." Lin Feng said gratefully, but he immediately frowned, "But how to get out of this illusion?"
"I know a way, but I need you Cooperate fully." The mysterious woman's eyes were firm and determined. She turned to look at the dense forest that seemed to be impossible to cross forever, and chanted an ancient spell in a low voice. As she uttered difficult syllables one by one, the surrounding space began to fluctuate slightly, as if some kind of power was gathering. "Close your eyes, feel your deepest memories and desires, and let your soul merge with nature. Only in this way can you get rid of this false world."
A few people followed the words and closed their eyes to meditate. At first, they only felt that the surroundings were chaotic and fuzzy, but then the gradually clear pictures surprised everyone: the scenes of their hometown in their memories, the laughter of their childhood friends, and the longing for a better life in the future emerged one by one. At the same time, in reality, the mysterious woman was surrounded by light. The light became brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire dark forest.
Finally, a crack slowly tore open in the void, revealing the scene behind it - a quiet and peaceful grassland, surrounded by mountains in the distance, full of green, it didn't look like it had just experienced a life and death fight. place.
"Did you succeed?" Lily opened her eyes, and in front of her eyes was no longer a suffocating dense forest but a natural scenery full of vitality. "Wow..."
Before they could be happy for too long, a cold wind blew across the grass, and the originally mild and pleasant environment suddenly turned cold. A figure emerged from behind the tree - his skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. He was wearing black leather armor and holding a long sword. His eyes were as cold as a blade as he stared at the group of uninvited guests.
"You dare to break into my territory and break the rules to leave the fantasy world without permission." The man's mouth was slightly raised but there was no smile at all. Instead, it gave people an even more chilling feeling, "Then do your best. Prepare to pay the price for this.”
Feng Yanli. He tightened his whip tightly and was ready to take action at any time: "This guy is definitely a strong enemy! But we are not vegetarians!"
"Humph, are just a few ants trying to resist?" the lord sneered. , the body suddenly turned into an afterimage and launched a fierce attack on Lin Feng. I saw silver light shining as he raised and lowered his sword, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly the trajectory of his movements.
"Be careful, this guy is very troublesome!" Lin Feng warned after being unable to dodge and almost being injured, barely resisting the attack with his long sword. However, the enemy did not give him a chance to breathe at all, and the offensive became more and more fierce and continuous.
At this time, Xiao Ran turned his head slightly and said to his companions: "It seems that we must fight quickly... everyone follows the plan!" After saying that, he rushed forward, confronting the opponent head-on and distracting him at the same time. .
Chen Le took this opportunity to quickly go around to the side, spinning his two knives quickly with both hands to form two groups of light and shadow that staggered to attack the lord's harm; at the same time, Lei Bao swung his giant hammer to crack the ground and create seismic waves to hinder his actions, striving for more success. Much time.
Lily raised her staff high to summon elemental spirits to assist her teammates in fighting, and kept throwing flame balls in an attempt to consume the enemy's power. "Everyone, please try harder!" she shouted loudly.
When the battle entered a fierce stage, the lord suddenly showed a strange smile, and a ball of dark energy condensed in the palm of his right hand. "Stupid humans, if this is the case, then let's have a taste of the flames of hell!"
"It's not good... it's going to be worse!" Feng Yan was keenly aware of the approaching danger and immediately reminded everyone to avoid the coming danger. Fatal attack...
"Disperse quickly!!" The mysterious woman promptly reminded everyone to disperse their escape routes, and she kept drawing circles in the air to release a large number of protective barriers, hoping to weaken the coming huge power.
"Everyone, come together!" Xiao Ran raised his arms and shouted to boost morale, "As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!" Before he finished speaking, he had already launched the strongest attack to face the enemy. That dark force...
As the loud noise and dazzling light caused by the collision of forces between the two sides gradually dissipated, the evil thoughts in the originally vicious little lord were completely eliminated, and he finally turned back into an ordinary person and fell on the grass. superior.
"It's over..." Everyone collapsed on the spot and gasped, except for the mysterious woman who still stood upright and looked forward thoughtfully. "But it's just a small challenge. The real journey has just begun..."
"What did you say? Do you want to continue taking risks? That's enough..." Chen Le complained repeatedly but was helpless. "Okay, okay, since it's a destined road, I can only bite the bullet... I hope it won't be so thrilling next time."
"Don't worry, friends," the mysterious woman turned back with a smile and gave everyone an encouraging look, "we will become stronger."
Just as everyone was preparing to take a rest before setting off, in the woods not far away There was another strange noise, which caused everyone to panic. Attention -
"Is that... is there another new trouble coming to the door?" Feng Yan squinted his eyes and stared at the unknown object that was about to move in the shadows in the distance and whispered to himself...
Night falls quietly, accompanied by the patter of rain. A few people were preparing to rest temporarily on this seemingly peaceful grassland, but unexpectedly, there were sudden bursts of strange noises in the distance, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.
"So... is there another new trouble coming to the door?" Feng Yan squinted his eyes and stared at the unknown object that was about to move in the shadows in the distance and whispered to himself.
"It seems that this place is not as safe as imagined." Lin Feng also stood up, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and looked around vigilantly, "Everyone is ready to fight."
Lily immediately waved her hand. The staff and elemental elves surrounded her, forming a barrier to protect everyone. "Quick, let's find a place to hide." (End of Chapter)
