"Then it's decided." The mysterious woman nodded in agreement, "Get ready for the final battle!"
"Wait!" Xiao Ran hurriedly stopped, "We still have to find a way to deal with these little monsters that keep coming out to harass the people before we can concentrate on dealing with that Big Mac..."
So several people temporarily separated and worked together to continue to resist the constant invasion from the rats, and on the other hand, they found ways to effectively resist or disperse these mutant species...
Just as everyone was racking their brains to think of countermeasures, suddenly several strange lights flashed in the grass not far away, attracting everyone's attention...
"There seems to be something interesting over there?" Flying Knight suggested, pointing to that place.
"Let's go and take a look!" Lin Feng said decisively. Everyone followed him and moved forward cautiously in the direction of the shining light, taking every step with great caution.
The spots of light among the grass gradually became clearer - they turned out to be several ancient stone tablets, engraved with complex runes, emitting a weak but steady light. These lights seemed to disperse the surrounding rats, making them afraid to approach this area easily.
"What's weird here?" Xiao Ran squatted down and carefully observed the inscription on one of the stone tablets.
The mysterious woman gently touched the surface of the stone tablet, "These are ancient soul-soothing stones... According to legend, they can calm evil spirits."
Lin Feng frowned: "Then if we can use this soul-suppressing stone... maybe we can solve the current problem!"
Just as they were thinking about how to move these heavy soul stones to the center of the battlefield, the desperate calls for help from the villagers came from the distance. Several giant rats took advantage of the situation and threatened the safety of several lonely children.
The flying knight made a prompt decision: "Brother Feixiang, take your two brothers to protect those children; Lin Feng, you and I try to move these stone monuments first. Xiao Ran, Miss Mysterious, please try your best to hold down the new big snake."
After the tasks were clearly assigned, everyone took action separately. The Flying Knight and Lin Feng worked together to push one of the smaller but still extremely heavy Soul Calm Stones slowly forward towards the core of the battle; at the same time, Flying Brother quickly gathered several warriors to rescue the villagers who were in danger.
On the other side, Xiao Ran relied on his extraordinary skills and keen perception to dodge left and right among the many mobs. Every attack could accurately hit the enemy's vital parts. "Don't even think about escaping!" Whenever a monster tries to bypass him to pursue other human targets, it will always be intercepted in time.
The mysterious woman concentrated on guiding the staff to condense powerful energy fluctuations, and whispered more complex and difficult magic spells. She wanted to try to subdue this behemoth with a powerful forbidden technique that she had never used before...
At this critical moment, a more powerful spiritual pressure suddenly came rapidly from the horizon. I saw a heroic figure cutting through the sky and landing directly in front of the giant green-scaled snake. That man was tall and tall, had a handsome face, and exuded awe-inspiring righteousness—it was Zhao Yunlong, the demon-slaying hero who was famous in the world!
Everyone was relieved to see help coming, but then they were shocked by its amazing fighting power. "Brother, thank you for your help! We are trying to figure out how to deal with this difficult guy!" Lin Feng stepped forward to say hello and expressed his gratitude to this powerful man who suddenly arrived.
Zhao Yunlong smiled slightly and waved the sharp sword in his hand to point at the huge creature opposite: "There is no need to be polite. We are just like-minded people; besides, it is the duty of a monk to eliminate demons and defend the way, isn't it? Now please feel free to deal with it. Let’s leave the rest of the current situation to you!”
Before he finished speaking, others had already taken the lead and launched a fierce attack, instantly cutting the entire space into countless fragments, forcing the opponent to temporarily restrain his breath and concentrate on fighting the enemy to avoid being completely suppressed...
At the same time, Brother Feixiang and others on the other side had successfully rushed to the surrounded children and brought them safely back to the refuge area deep in the village. They also picked up a lot of fallen weapons along the way in case they were needed. "Thank you, uncle, you are so awesome!" The rescued children expressed their respect to the hero and sent their most sincere gratitude...
As the soul stone was gradually moved into place, the entire battlefield situation finally began to change: the originally menacing rats became timid after feeling the strong pressure from the ancient relics, and gradually lost the fearless and brave attitude of charging before...
"Now!" Lin Feng shouted when he saw this scene. Everyone immediately adjusted their positions around the stone monument to build a more stable and reliable defense line to prepare for the last wave of crazy counterattack that was about to break out...
The confrontation between Zhao Yunlong and the giant green-scaled snake in the center of the battlefield has reached its most critical moment - a dazzling white light appears vaguely on the tip of the former's sword, indicating that he is about to unleash his ultimate trick...
Just when all eyes were focused on this, the mysterious woman suddenly took out a seemingly ordinary crystal ball that actually contained huge energy from her arms and raised it above her head...
"Let the storm come more violently!" she whispered and then slammed it to the ground. In an instant, the whole world seemed to have fallen into some kind of strange time and space stagnation. Everything slowed down and even the sound could not propagate normally...
When everything returned to the original state, the crystal clear ball had turned into stars and spread out, covering every corner of the field, completely changing the situation of a battle that had already been decided...
"What happened just now? Why do I feel like I missed a very exciting scene?" Zhao Yunlong, who had just joined the battle and was not fully aware of the changes in the situation, asked in confusion.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, we will definitely win!" Lin Feng patted his shoulder and said excitedly.
"But is that thing really that magical?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of the mysterious woman's mouth. She did not give an answer immediately, but turned her head to look into the distance and the dark power gradually faded away...
"What should we do next?" Flying Knight asked the question that everyone was thinking about at this time.
"It's very simple..." Lin Feng looked at the firm eyes of his companions and replied, "Of course, go to the Mountain of Gods and Demons and fight against the disciples and grandchildren left behind by the gods and demons!"
After a short rest, everyone began their journey to the Mountain of Gods and Demons. After the mysterious woman used that energy crystal to change the situation on the battlefield, she didn't explain much, as if everything was still in her plan. Although Zhao Yunlong was full of doubts, he knew that these people were not simple characters. At least at this time, they were on the same side.
"There should be a shortcut ahead that can lead directly to the mountains through the dense forest." Lin Feng said while checking the map in his hand. This map was given by a village elder and is said to have been passed down for hundreds of years. "However, there are several dangerous locations marked on the map. Please be careful." The mysterious woman walked at the end of the team, seemingly alert to everything around her. "We may encounter unexpected things on this road. We You must always be ready to fight.”
Sure enough, after passing through an airtight forest, they discovered a seemingly deserted cabin that exuded a strange aura. At this moment, a hunchbacked old woman slowly walked out, with a pair of sharp eyes embedded in her wrinkled face, which were deep and unpredictable. "Oh, I didn't expect a visitor to come..." Her voice was high-pitched and a bit cold.
Xiao Ran immediately stepped forward and stared at the other party warily: "Hello, mother-in-law, I don't know where this leads to? We are going to the God and Demon Mountain to find some clues..."
The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked up and down at the group of humans who had intruded into her territory for a while: "Hehehe~ There are many dangerous things on the God and Demon Mountain, and not everyone can easily get involved! What's more, it's a period like this... ”
Lin Feng also took a step forward and added: "Actually, we are tracking a group of monster lairs that do evil things. They should come from the Mountain of Gods and Demons."
Hearing this, the old woman's mouth curved slightly, and a complicated light flashed in her eyes. "If you really want to find those guys... I can help." She said meaningfully, and motioned for everyone to enter the hut. say.
After entering the cabin, the interior decoration is simple and old, but strangely the air is extremely fresh. There is a stone platform in the center with several bottles and jars of different shapes and strange herbs and other objects placed on it, emitting bursts of fragrance. "Sit down." The old woman picked up a pipe and lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a faint smoke that drifted around her.
The flying knight asked: "Mother-in-law, what do you know? Can you give us some specific information about the nest?"
"Uh-huh..." The old woman nodded, then put down the object in her hand and said slowly: "There are indeed many unknown secrets in the Gods and Demons Mountain, including the 'lair' you are looking for. But it is surrounded by a powerful barrier. It is protected and not easy to approach; even if you enter, you may not be able to escape unscathed..."
Lin Feng asked eagerly: "So how can we break through that obstacle? Is there any way to bypass it or lift the seal or something?"
At this time, a sly smile appeared on the old woman's face: "Of course, it's just a small price to pay..." She stretched out her hand and spread her palms to indicate some kind of exchange. "For example, some precious medicinal materials or special items may not be difficult for you to get."
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to have reached a consensus. "As long as we can solve this crisis and save more innocent lives, we are willing to give it a try no matter how much it costs!" Lin Feng responded decisively.
Seeing this, the old woman nodded in approval and said: "Very good, very good, then I will show you a clear path - go north until you encounter three forks in the road, choose the left path and go forward for about ten miles, you will see a Abandoned temple, there is a key that can open the door to the top of the mountain; and the real destination is hidden somewhere... Remember to pay attention to safety along the way, especially don't walk randomly at night to avoid falling into the unknown Under biological attack."
After saying these words, the old woman stood up and prepared to see off the guests, "One more reminder: no matter what the outcome is, don't rely too much on external forces. The real decision of victory or defeat often depends on each person's personalization and strength."
When leaving this mysterious place, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of solemnity and responsibility weighing on their hearts. "Let's go, friends, there is still a long way to go. The only choice is for us to overcome all obstacles and continue to move forward." Lin Feng encouraged. So the team set off again towards a more dangerous and unknown goal...
As night falls, the surrounding area is gradually shrouded in darkness, with only the starlight guiding the way forward. Just as everyone was moving forward cautiously along the path, a slight but harsh sound suddenly came from not far away.
"Stop!" Lin Feng suddenly shouted in a low voice. "There seems to be something wrong..." He looked around with burning eyes, trying to find possible threats.
Then Xiao Ran also held the dagger tightly, ready to fight at any time. "Don't make any noise, stay in formation, and don't be left alone..." After he finished instructing his companions, he slowly moved closer to the location where the suspected sound came from to investigate...
At the same time, the mysterious woman closed her eyes and meditated, gently playing with the few remaining crystal grains from the previous spell in her hand, as if she wanted to sense something. After a moment, he opened his eyes with a look of surprise in his eyes, "It seems we are not alone, someone is secretly following us!"
At this juncture, a black shadow sprang out of the darkness like a ghost and attacked the nearest member...
Zhao Yunlong turned around suddenly, the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed and collided with the black shadow. The sound of metal clashing echoed in the night sky, and sparks flew everywhere.
"Who? How dare you attack us!" Zhao Yunlong shouted angrily, but without stopping, he waved his sword repeatedly to block the opponent's attack.
Lin Feng also reacted quickly and appeared next to Zhao Yunlong in a flash, waving his fists and creating strong winds. "Everyone, be careful, the number of enemies is unknown!" He reminded loudly, while looking around vigilantly.
The figure in the darkness was obviously not weak in strength, and within a few moves, he and Zhao Yunlong were evenly matched. At this time, the flying knight had already swooped down from the sky, the sharp claws in his hands shining with cold light, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Just when the situation reached a stalemate, a deep voice sounded in the night: "Stop! You have misunderstood."
Following this sound, the black figure suddenly stopped attacking and slowly took a few steps back. As the torches shone, everyone finally saw his appearance clearly - he was a man wearing black armor, with firm and deep eyes, and a mysterious symbol engraved on his forehead.
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly attack us?" Lin Feng asked coldly.
The man in black nodded slightly and showed a gentle smile, "Sorry for causing trouble to you. I am one of the guardians of the God and Demon Mountain, and I was ordered to test the qualifications of those who pass through here."
"Test?" The mysterious woman spoke slowly, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes, "What kind of test?"
The man nodded and slowly explained: "Everyone who wants to enter the Mountain of Gods and Demons must pass a trial. This is the rule left by our ancestors. This battle is one of them. As long as you can win My people can get the key to the top of the mountain." (End of Chapter)
