Hearing this, Zhao Yunlong frowned, "So, this is all a trap set by you?"
The man in black smiled calmly: "You can say that. But it is not a meaningless game. , only warriors who have proven themselves strong enough can set foot on the road to the Mountain of Gods and Demons."
Lin Feng. His eyes gradually became firm, "Then we will accept this test! Since these are the rules, then we will follow them."
"Okay," the man in black nodded approvingly, "I look forward to seeing you The true strength. Let’s start!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he launched his attack again. However, this time, his movements were even more fierce, and every move he made was as fast as thunder. But faced with such a challenge, Lin Feng and his partners were not afraid. Everyone showed their strongest fighting ability and vowed to stand out in the test.
The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and everyone present gave full play to their specialties. Finally, after a round of fierce fighting, the man in black stopped, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Congratulations on passing the trial."
After saying this Finally, the man in black handed over an ancient key with inlaid The colorful gems looked particularly dazzling in the night. "With this key, you can open the door to your destination in the temple on the top of the mountain. I wish you good luck."
Lin Feng took the key, What surged in my heart was unprecedented determination. "Thank you for your advice, we will definitely live up to expectations! Let us continue to move forward, friends."
Xiao Ran patted Lin Feng's shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "That's right, No matter how difficult the road is, there is an end. Let’s work hard together!”
The mysterious woman gently held the crystal in her hand, with a determined look in her eyes, “We will succeed... no matter what.”
The team reorganized their equipment, took steps towards the starlight, and marched bravely towards the unknown goal...
Just as they were about to set off, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from deep in the jungle, as if something was coming. Approaching quickly.
Everyone clenched their weapons alertly and waited with bated breath.
The footsteps in the deep forest were getting closer and closer, and everyone quickly prepared for battle. Just as they were concentrating on alert, a petite figure walked out of the darkness. It was a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old, wearing ancient clothes, with long hair shawl, and eyes shining with light that did not match her age.
"Huh? There are interesting guests here!" The little girl's voice was clear and sweet, with an innocent smile on her face. However, this smile looked extremely weird in the night, making everyone shiver involuntarily.
Zhao Yunlong first broke the silence and asked warily: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The little girl tilted her head and smiled playfully: "I am the guardian here! It has been a long time. I haven’t seen any new faces, where did you come from?”
The mysterious woman narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a little uneasy, “Kid, it’s dangerous to walk alone in the forest late at night. It's dangerous, you should go home as soon as possible."
"Home?" The little girl didn't seem to understand the word, and she shook her head, "I don't have a home, this is my territory."< br>
Lin Feng felt that things were not simple. He took a step forward and said in a calm but firm tone, "Little girl, we have an important task to complete, please don't hinder us."
The little girl's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Is it an important mission? Are you going to the top of the mountain? I know there is a treasure there!"
When they heard this, everyone was shocked. Xiao Ran lowered his voice and said to Lin Feng: "There is something wrong with this little girl, be careful."
At this moment, the little girl suddenly swayed, disappeared from the spot, and appeared in the center of the team instantly. "Don't leave, come play with me for a while!" There was a hint of coldness in her voice.
Zhao Yunlong suddenly drew out his sword and stabbed the little girl. However, the tip of the sword passed through an illusory figure, as if it had not touched anything.
"Wow, why are you adults so mean? I just want to find someone to chat with." The little girl returned to her original posture and said innocently.
Lin Feng was suspicious and asked the mysterious woman next to him in a low voice: "What do you think she is doing? Why can she avoid attacks so easily?"
The mysterious woman frowned, "She is very capable, not ordinary. Be careful of being used by her."
While they were talking, the little girl suddenly showed a ferocious expression. With a smile, "It's so boring that you are so boring. In that case, let you see the real me!"
As the words fell, the little girl's body gradually expanded, and the clothes on her body turned into pieces. The cloth spread out, and the originally cute face turned terrifying, turning into an old monster with gray hair and a terrifying face. Her eyes emitted a faint green light, and a hoarse laugh came from her mouth: "Hmph, an old witch who has lived for thousands of years will not let you go so easily! I will suck you into a human and fuck you!"
Team Everyone in the room took a breath and realized that the little girl in front of them was an extremely difficult opponent. Lin Feng immediately shouted: "Everyone, get ready, don't let her hurt anyone!"
Before he finished speaking, the old monster had already stretched out his withered fingers, and a ball of dark purple energy condensed on his fingertips. Zhao Yunlong jumped up, swung his long sword and slashed at it, but saw the energy ball bounced away instantly when the sword blade touched it. Immediately afterwards, energy balls shot towards Lin Feng like cannonballs.
At the critical moment, the mysterious woman quickly formed seals with her hands and recited a spell. A dazzling light surrounded Lin Feng, forming a solid defensive shield. The energy ball bombarded the protective shield with a loud noise, but was bounced away.
When the old monster saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Is there anyone who can block my attack? It's really interesting. But it's more fun this way!"
She waved again, and the surrounding trees seemed to be After giving some kind of order, it began to grow crazily, and vines came from all directions, tightly binding the team.
"Hurry and cut off those vines!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. Xiao Ran reacted very quickly, the dagger in his hand flashed like lightning, and he cut off several thick branches close to him in a few strokes. Others fought back, trying to break free.
The old monster sneered: "Want to struggle? Let's see who is stronger!"
She opened her palm, and a huge black flame emerged, ready to unleash a fatal blow. At the critical moment, the man in black appeared in the night sky again and shouted: "Stop! You are violating the rules by doing this!"
Hearing this voice, the old monster obviously hesitated, and finally relaxed. Xu took back the black flame in his hand. "Okay, let's spare these people for the time being for your sake. But one day..."
After that, she turned around and disappeared into a gust of wind. There was only a creepy smell left in the air.
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief and explained to everyone: "This old monster is one of the guardians of the Mountain of Gods and Demons. Although his methods are vicious, he does not attack randomly. You are lucky to have escaped today. Get over it. Keep going, there are more tests waiting for you." Lin Feng nodded and looked at the man in black gratefully, "Thank you for your timely help, we will be more careful."
The man in black smiled slightly, "I hope you can reach the finish line smoothly. Goodbye, warriors."
With his departure, the forest returned to its former tranquility. Lin Feng led everyone to repack and embark on a new journey. "Come on everyone, we must reach our destination!"
Zhao Yunlong wiped the sweat on his forehead, nodded and said: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we can't give up. Let's go!"
The team continued to move forward in the dark night, heading towards a direction full of unknowns and challenges. The stars are shining brightly, as if guiding them in the bright direction...
The team continued to move forward, passing through the dense forest and entering deeper areas. The night was dark, but the stars were extremely bright, illuminating the road ahead for them. Suddenly, Zhao Yunlong stopped, pointed to the open space ahead and said, "Look over there, there is something wrong with that well."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a piece of grass hidden in the grass. A dilapidated dry well. The edge of the well was covered with weeds and vines, and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.
Xiao Ran frowned, "How can there be a well in such a remote place? There is no sign of anyone living here at all."
Lin Feng stepped forward and observed carefully Fan, "It is indeed a bit suspicious. But there are no marks around it. Is there any secret hidden in this well?"
"Anyway, we should explore it first." The mysterious woman suggested, with a look in her eyes There was a flash of curiosity and wariness.
So, the team decided to check the dry well first. Xiao Ran took out a torch, lit it and threw it into the well. The firelight illuminated the dark bottom of the well. Some strange runes could be vaguely carved on the well wall, and there was a spiral downward stone staircase leading to the depths.
“There seems to be a cave at the bottom of this well!” Zhao Yunlong said.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, "It seems we have to go down and have a look. But everyone must be careful, this place may be full of unknown dangers."
After that, he took the lead and walked carefully along the stone stairs. Go down, trying to be cautious with every step. The other team members followed closely behind him, everyone attentive and alert for any emergencies.
After walking dozens of steps, a spacious platform suddenly appeared at the end of the stone staircase. In the center was an ancient circular gate, which was also engraved with strange symbols.
"Is this the entrance?" Xiao Ran asked in a low voice.
"That's right." The mysterious woman observed the symbols carefully, "These runes are a very ancient language, recording some kind of spell."
"Then try to push it away This door." Lin Feng pushed hard a few times and found that the door actually opened slowly, revealing a tunnel leading to darkness.
A cold breath hit his face, making people shiver. "Are you ready?" Lin Feng turned to look at the team members, "We have to go deep into the ruins, and we don't know what will be waiting for us inside."
"Of course you are ready!" Xiao Ran said boldly. He answered, dagger clutched in his hand.
The mysterious woman smiled slightly, with a confident light shining in her eyes: "As long as we unite, there is nothing we can't solve."
The three of them walked into the tunnel, and the light suddenly dimmed, leaving only the torches in their hands. Emit a faint light. They passed through the long and narrow passage and finally came to a wide underground space. The walls are covered with carvings, depicting the prosperity of ancient civilizations as well as some unrevealed secrets.
At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the distance, and the ground shook slightly. "No, there seems to be something living inside." Lin Feng said warily.
Immediately afterwards, several huge monsters walked out from the depths of darkness. Their skin was iron-grey, their eyes glowed red, and they roared continuously.
"Get ready to fight!" Zhao Yunlong drew out his sword and was eager to try.
A fierce battle began. There were more monsters than expected. They were fierce and cunning, and could kill with one blow. Despite this, everyone still struggled to face the enemy and resolved the crisis time after time with tacit cooperation.
The battle lasted for a while, and the number of monsters gradually decreased. Just when everyone thought it was about to end, the most powerful monster appeared. It was several times larger than its companions. It was covered in armor and its attacks were as fierce as thunder.
“This thing is not simple!” Xiao Ran dealt with it while looking for flaws.
At the critical moment, the mysterious woman quickly chanted a spell and arranged a complex magic circle on the ground. As the last chant ended, the magic circle burst out with dazzling light, forming a circle of enchantment that enveloped the monster, temporarily restraining its movements.
“Now is the best opportunity!” Lin Feng shouted, rushed forward, waved the weapon in his hand and struck with all his strength, finally severely damaging the giant beast. After struggling for a few times, it fell to the ground and stopped moving at all.
After a short rest, the team continued to explore the ancient ruins in depth, unraveling many traps along the way. Finally, in the core area of the ruins, they found a huge inscription engraved with key clues to the treasure.
"It seems that our goal is about to be achieved." Lin Feng stroked the inscription gently, his eyes firm.
"The next step should be the real end." Xiao Ran smiled expectantly.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the surrounding air suddenly became bitingly cold. Lin Feng suddenly looked up and found that a hidden secret passage quietly opened, "There! There is a new exit!"
"Let's go, let's find out." Zhao Yunlong took the lead in taking steps.
The mysterious woman shook her head slightly and whispered to herself: "I always feel that there is a greater test waiting for us..."
The three of them moved slowly along the newly emerged secret passage, and the torches in their hands gave off a faint glow. light. The air was extremely humid, and you could hear your footsteps echoing on the stone slabs with every step you took. Zhao Yunlong clenched his sword tightly, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
"Something feels wrong here." Lin Feng whispered, "Everyone, be careful." (End of Chapter)
