Suddenly, a cold breath came from the front, as if something ominous was slowly approaching. Several people immediately stopped and looked around nervously. In the darkness, a sharp and strange sound could be vaguely heard, like something rubbing in the air.
"Did you hear something?" Xiao Ran frowned, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.
"It seems like something is coming." The mysterious woman responded in a low voice, her fingers trembling slightly, ready to cast a spell.
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful demonic energy burst out instantly, and a huge figure emerged from the darkness. It was a magic sword emitting green light, suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a creepy aura. It seemed to be alive, and the sharp sword tip was pointed at them, making bursts of screams.
"What the hell is that!" Zhao Yunlong suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand and stood ready.
Lin Feng held the weapon tightly and took a deep breath, "Everyone, step back, this sword looks very dangerous."
But the magic sword didn't hesitate and flew directly towards them, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to parry. Xiao Ran dodged sideways, only to find that the magic sword was extremely flexible, like a cunning cheetah, leaving green afterimages in the air.
"Damn, it's so flexible!" Zhao Yunlong struggled to resist, and every attack was easily avoided by the magic sword.
At this moment, the mysterious woman quickly drew a magic circle on the ground and chanted ancient spells quickly. With a flash of light, the magic circle was activated, forming a shield that barely blocked the impact of the magic sword.
"This can't continue like this. We must find its weakness." Lin Feng shouted loudly.
"It seems to be driven by some kind of power. We have to find a way to destroy this source of power." The mysterious woman analyzed calmly and continued to cast spells to strengthen protection.
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and found a strange device next to him, like some control mechanism. He had an idea and ran towards the device, "There is a strange thing over there, it may be its power source!"
Zhao Yunlong and Lin Feng immediately understood his intention and acted separately. One person covered Xiao Ran and the other was responsible for interfering with the magic sword's attack. The mysterious woman tried her best to maintain the protective magic and prevent the magic sword from breaking through the defense line.
Xiao Ran finally came to the device, looked carefully and found that there were many ancient runes on it. He tried to turn one of the handles, and the device suddenly lit up, the magic sword let out a piercing scream, and the movement paused slightly.
"It works!" Zhao Yunlong was overjoyed when he saw this, and stepped up his offensive, trying to buy more time for Xiao Ran.
However, the Demon Sword quickly recovered and its offensive became even more frenzied. It was like a bolt of lightning, circling in the air and striking Xiao Ran fiercely. At the critical moment, the mysterious woman took action in time and cast a binding technique to temporarily immobilize the magic sword.
"Hurry!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, while constantly using various methods to attract the attention of Demon Sword and reduce the pressure on his teammates.
Xiao Ran quickly pressed several buttons on the device with both hands, only to hear a mechanical roar. The device suddenly vibrated a few times and then stopped running. The magic sword suddenly lost its support and fell to the ground with a heavy impact.
"It's done!" Everyone cheered, but soon looked at the magic sword on the ground warily in case it suddenly resurrected.
After a moment of silence, the magic sword stopped moving at all. Lin Feng crouched down, reached out and touched the magic sword gently, feeling a powerful residual magic power. "This sword really has an extraordinary origin. We need to handle it more carefully."
"No matter what, this trouble is finally solved now." Zhao Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief and took back his sword.
Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at the secret passage ahead, "I don't know what else is waiting for us ahead. Let's go and keep moving forward."
"Yes." The mysterious woman nodded in agreement, still with a trace of worry in her eyes, "I hope the road ahead won't be too difficult..."
Everyone continued to move forward along the winding dark passage, the light of the torches looking particularly dim in the humid air. Finally, a huge gap appeared in front, and the black abyss swallowed up all the light like a bottomless pit. There is a strange and heavy atmosphere in the air, which makes people shudder.
"Where is that place?" Zhao Yunlong stopped and frowned.
Lin Feng walked to the crack and looked down, only to see some vague figures in the darkness. Those shadows seemed to be moving, but they gave people an ominous feeling. "This is... an abyss, and there seem to be many corpses in it."
Xiao Ran stepped forward, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "Such a gloomy place doesn't feel like an ordinary place."
The mysterious woman trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and recited a few spells in a low voice. Then she opened her eyes and said, "There is a very powerful power fluctuation here, but this fluctuation is full of darkness and evil. We must Be careful.”
Several people were silent for a moment. Obviously, this abyss not only made them feel dangerous, but also aroused strong curiosity and desire for exploration.
"If there are really important clues or treasures here, we must go in and take a look." Lin Feng took a deep breath and spoke firmly.
"Agreed, but we have to be prepared first." Zhao Yunlong clenched the sword in his hand and scanned the surroundings sharply, "Maybe there will be more traps waiting for us inside."
Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes, everyone should try to stay vigilant and take care of each other. Especially since this place doesn't look simple, I don't know what weird things will happen."
The mysterious woman bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I will do my best to protect everyone's safety."
After a short discussion, several people decided to move forward and enter this abyss full of unknowns. They lit more torches to illuminate the dark space around them, and then carefully descended along the edge of the crack into the interior of the abyss. As they went deeper, the air became colder and damper, and with every step they could hear the sound of water droplets falling, as well as some faint and creepy hissing sounds. The walls are covered with moss and various strange symbols, which seem to tell ancient and mysterious stories.
Suddenly, Zhao Yunlong stopped and looked ahead warily. There were some broken equipment and clothes scattered there. It was obvious that someone else had tried to enter here, but unfortunately could not get out.
"These people... should be the corpses of previous adventurers." Lin Feng's voice was a bit sad.
The mysterious woman looked pale and whispered a eulogy, hoping that the deceased could rest in peace.
Just as they were about to move on, a cold wind suddenly blew from the depths of the abyss, bringing bursts of chill. Immediately afterwards, a group of ghost-like beings with ferocious faces and red eyes slowly emerged from the shadows and launched a fierce attack on them.
"Damn it, there's another enemy!" Zhao Yunlong shouted angrily, waving his sword to meet the enemy.
Although these ghosts move slowly, they are huge in number and have extremely weird attack methods. For a time, everyone fell into a difficult battle. The mysterious woman quickly drew several magic circles on the ground, trying to use spells to restrict the enemy's movements. Xiao Ran, on the other hand, relied on his flexible movements to move around and find the right time to carry out precise strikes.
"The power here is too weird! Everyone, be careful!" Lin Feng reminded his teammates loudly, while also struggling to fight the ghost in front of him.
The battle lasted for a while, and although they gradually gained some advantages, everyone also felt physically and mentally exhausted. Just when they thought victory was about to come, a deeper and more threatening sound came from the center of the abyss - it was a larger existence approaching them.
"What the hell is this?" Zhao Yunlong asked breathlessly.
"It seems that we have really met someone awesome this time." Lin Feng looked serious and clenched his weapon, "No matter what, we can't back down here."
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, a familiar figure suddenly appeared from the side - the mysterious woman appeared in front of them again, but this time there was more determination in her eyes, "I know how to fight it, But we must join forces.”
Everyone looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and were ready to face the next more severe challenge.
"No matter how difficult it is ahead, as long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." The mysterious woman encouraged, then turned around and walked towards the huge energy source that was approaching.
"Follow me and do as I say!" The mysterious woman's voice was filled with unquestionable determination, and everyone quickly gathered around, ready to go. The low energy source in the center of the abyss became more and more obvious, and the entire space seemed to be trembling with it.
Just as they were adjusting their formation, a huge shadow suddenly rushed out of the darkness. It had a twisted body and huge claws, and an evil light flashed in its eyes. This is a monster that has never been seen before, exuding a disgusting aura.
"Everyone, be careful, this thing is not simple!" Zhao Yunlong took the lead in launching an offensive, slashing at the monster like a rainbow with his long sword. However, the blade only stirred up a spark and scratched a shallow mark on its extremely hard skin.
"Its defense is so strong?!" Lin Feng also joined the battle, wielding his battle ax and engaging in fierce battles with the enemy, trying to find the opponent's weaknesses. But each attack was easily deflected, and in the backhand, the monster suddenly punched Lin Feng who was very close at hand, so fast that he could not completely avoid it.
After hearing a muffled sound, Lin Feng was knocked out, hit the stone wall heavily, and then fell to the ground. "Brother Lin!" Xiao Ran was shocked and immediately stepped forward to check the situation. Lin Feng's face was as pale as paper. He was obviously seriously injured internally, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The mysterious woman immediately cast healing magic, and a warm and soft light surrounded Lin Feng, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground. At the same time, she said anxiously: "His life will not be in danger for the time being, but I must do my best to treat him. You and Brother Zhao will deal with that monster first."
At this time, the monster was roaring like a roar, seeming to be aware of their predicament and becoming more unscrupulous. It waved its arms, and every blow could make dents in the solid ground. The air was filled with an increasingly strong smell of corruption, making it extremely difficult for several people to even breathe.
Faced with this situation, even though they knew that their companions were struggling on the edge of life and death, the two of them still had to rejoin the battle. Zhao Yunlong gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing his determination to never give up, "We can't let Brother Lin get hurt in vain!"
After saying this, he shuttled through the dense thorns like a bolt of lightning, cleverly avoiding the monster's fatal blows, and looking for the right moment to launch a fierce counterattack; on the other side, Xiao Ran kept changing his position, using the help of His advantage of lightness and flexibility disrupts the enemy's offensive rhythm, and at the same time looks for possible opportunities to deliver a heavy blow to the opponent.
The mysterious woman is trying her best to maintain Lin Feng's life. Sweat dripped down the hair on her forehead. In the process, she did not forget to raise her head and pay attention to the changes in the status of her two teammates on the battlefield. Finally, after countless failed attempts, she found a breakthrough!
Just as the behemoth raised its huge claws again and prepared to strike hard, it was suddenly tightly restrained by some invisible force from behind. The mysterious woman shouted at the right time: "Now! Use the most powerful moves to attack the same part!" Hearing her cry, the two warriors who had been preparing to attack released their full strength almost at the same moment - Xiao Ran circled to the flank at an incredible speed, holding the short knife at his waist with both hands and stabbing into the monster's waist; at the same time, Zhao Yunlong jumped high, completed a perfect arc in the air, and then inserted the long sword directly into the side of the opponent's neck. Harm...
A shrill scream resounded throughout the space, and then with a loud bang, the originally powerful and abnormally huge creature turned into a pool of black viscous liquid and disappeared. It was only then that everyone really breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew very well: Although they had just won this fierce battle, there would only be more and more difficult and dangerous challenges waiting for them on the unknown road...
"How is Lin Feng?" Xiao Ran asked with concern, looking at his partner who was still in a deep coma and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The mysterious woman wiped the sweat off her face and replied: "The situation is not good. We need to find a suitable environment for him to recover properly. The place is full of darkness and danger, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time."
"Then let's leave quickly." Although Zhao Yunlong's tone sounded a little tired, he was still decisive, "While the trouble has been completely solved with that blow just now, leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
At this moment, subtle but extremely clear footsteps were heard again not far ahead. This time, it was no longer the eerie feeling - instead, it seemed like some light and vigilant life form was approaching them...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone immediately became alert. Zhao Yunlong grasped the sword tightly, preparing to face the coming threat. Suddenly, several figures appeared in the darkness. They were dressed in black robes, with cold smiles on their faces, and greedy light in their eyes. (End of chapter)
