This sentence immediately reminded other team members that the current situation is still serious and cannot be taken lightly. "That's right! We must find it as soon as possible or all our efforts will be in vain."
"Then which direction should we go next?" Zhao Yunlong asked, scratching his head.
Xue Qi closed her eyes and felt for a moment, then opened her eyes and pointed firmly to a certain direction in the distance and said: "According to my induction just now, I know that the treasure is nearby. Let's set off quickly!"
So, in this dark forest full of unknown challenges, these young warriors embarked on a journey again, facing new unknowns and tests. But they know that nothing is impossible to overcome if they stick together.
"Let's go, friends, let's move on!" Lin Feng waved his hand and encouraged.
"Come on, come on!" Li Feng and Zhao Yunlong responded in unison, following the captain confidently, moving towards the unknown direction. Xue Qi silently guarded them, reciting blessing mantras in her heart, hoping that the next road would not be too bumpy...
Several low roars of wild beasts were heard in the distance, but none of this affected the pace of this group of brave boys and girls. Their determination has already been deeply engraved in their hearts.
Just as Lin Feng and others were preparing to get back on the road, several dazzling lights suddenly flashed through the night sky, falling towards the depths of the forest like meteorites. After a while, the feeling of earth shaking came again, and the whole forest seemed to be shaking.
"What is that?" Xue Qi asked in horror, looking at the light trails gradually dissipating in the distant sky.
Lin Feng shook his head solemnly: "No matter what it is, it's not a good thing."
After they continued walking for a while, they suddenly saw several depression marks and scorched land in an open area that were obviously caused by strong impact forces. The air was still filled with a faint metallic smell and an unknown stench.
"Has there been a battle here?" Li Feng looked around and observed, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
Zhao Yunlong clenched his spear nervously: "And it was a very fierce battle...but it seems that the enemy is not an ordinary creature or a magical beast."
At this moment, a cold voice with a strange accent sounded from the shadow not far away, "You are right, my companions did compete with some local indigenous people."
I saw a strangely dressed humanoid creature covered in strange armor slowly walking out. His eyes exuded a dark green light, which was particularly frightening in the night; his skin was a sickly gray, and he obviously did not belong to any known race on this continent. "I am Grim, a powerful warrior from the edge of the universe." He said these words coldly and then stopped speaking, but that aloof attitude was enough to make people feel depressed and even suffocated.
"What do you want?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly, while signaling his teammates to prepare for defense.
Grim smiled contemptuously, "We have no special interest in you, we are just passing by. Of course... Now that we have discovered potential threats, it is necessary to eliminate them." As soon as he finished speaking, his figure rushed directly at an incredible speed. Towards the nearest Zhao Yunlong!
Almost at the same time, two other outsiders with the same strange equipment and whose strength should not be underestimated also came from different directions. One of them held two swords and quickly went around everyone's back to prepare for a surprise attack; the other, who was even bigger, raised a cannon-like weapon in his hand and aimed at the target group to fire laser rays!
Facing the sudden and violent attack, even though he was prepared in advance, he was still caught off guard. In particular, Zhao Yunlong was forced to be too close to withstand the opponent's violent offensive; fortunately, Li Feng quickly came back to help and used his flexibility to help his companions clear the siege, and he was able to barely stabilize his position.
However, the crisis was not resolved - the combat power of those strange enemies was unimaginably powerful, and their cooperation with each other was extremely tacit, which soon caused the already exhausted team to fall into a more dangerous and passive situation.
On the other side, Xue Qi tried to chant a spell to cast a large-scale spell for range control, but just when the magic energy was about to condense and take shape, it was directly scattered by a purple lightning. The alien creature that launched the attack immediately took the opportunity to get close and pose a serious threat to it.
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately swung his sword to block the fatal blow and kicked the man several meters away. "Move quickly! If we continue like this, we will die here!" He ordered loudly. So the team began to fight and retreat as much as possible to get rid of the opponent's struggle in order to find suitable terrain to implement the counterattack plan...
After several fierce battles, running away seemed to be the only feasible option. "Follow me!" Lin Feng immediately turned around and ran towards a seemingly more hidden cave. Everyone followed closely, not daring to hesitate for fear that if they were a step slower, they would be killed by the enemy's claws!
After finally entering a small space and taking a breather for a while, everyone looked exhausted and embarrassed. "What should we do? If they chase us in, we will be doomed..." Li Feng said worriedly while taking a deep breath to adjust his condition.
"I can only take a gamble." Lin Feng wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and replied firmly. "Let's create a 'surprise' for them when they come in!" As he said that, he pointed to a few stones in the cave that looked ordinary but actually concealed mechanisms...
As expected, not long after, Grim and his party stepped into the dark tunnel to search for traces of the target. "Do you stupid humans think you can escape punishment by hiding?" He scolded with a mocking smile while turning on the night vision mode to adapt to the environment...
At this moment, the trap that had been laid out was activated: the originally calm and ripple-free lake water instantly turned into a rolling heat wave and swept out, flooding the entire corridor, trapping the enemy inside and making it difficult to move; then the pre-set rockfall device also followed. When it is turned on, tons of boulders fall down on those who are trying to escape from this desperate situation...
Taking advantage of this rare gap, the four heroes quickly shuttled through the dense forest and headed towards the depths of the unknown territory. The continuous roars and explosions behind me prove that this counterattack has achieved certain results, but it also means that we will face more severe and cruel challenges and tests in the future...
By the time we passed through dense bushes and reached a relatively open area, the sky was gradually whitening, revealing a faint twilight. "Let's find a place to rest for a while!" Lin Feng suggested. "But you must take turns to be on duty and remain highly alert to avoid being attacked by other unexpected events!"
"Yeah." Xue Qi nodded in agreement and took the lead in sitting down with her eyes closed to rest and recover her magic value. The two people next to them began to simply clean up the wounds and treat their injuries to fully prepare for the upcoming new adventure...
"I hope I won't run into this kind of trouble next time." Li Feng smiled bitterly, with an unnoticeable uneasiness in his voice.
Lin Feng smiled and comforted: "As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
"Well said! Then let us welcome every tomorrow together." Zhao Yunlong clapped his hands and encouraged, "But first we must solve the current problem."
"That's right, we have to find the legendary magic sword first." Lin Feng nodded in agreement, with determination in his eyes.
"Let's go, don't let those guys catch up." Li Feng stood up, dusted off his body, and looked into the distance.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng gave the order, and everyone set off again, embarking on an unknown journey. At this time, the sky was just turning white, and the morning light shone through the treetops on the ground, illuminating their path forward.
Through the dense forest, the team continued to move forward. The sun is high in the sky, the morning dew is gradually evaporating, and there is a fresh smell in the air. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought they could feel a little more at ease, a dense slapping sound came from a distance.
"Did you hear that?" Zhao Yunlong stopped and looked around warily.
Lin Feng nodded, clenched the long sword in his hand, his eyes became solemn, "It seems...a bat?"
Sure enough, before long, thousands of huge black mutated bats swarmed in from all directions like dark clouds. Not only are these bats huge in size, but their eyes also glow with a strange red light, and their wingspan is almost as wide as a human being. What's even more creepy is that they roar like messengers from hell.
"What kind of monster is this!" Xue Qi screamed, hurriedly chanting spells and building a defensive barrier around the team.
Li Feng quickly took out several homemade bombs and threw them at the incoming bats. "Blow these damn things up!"
After a loud roar, several flames exploded in mid-air, and countless bats were affected and fell down. However, more bats did not seem to be afraid of fire, but instead became more violent and rushed towards them one after another.
Just when everyone was exhausted, a particularly large bat penetrated the protective wall and bit Xue Qi's arm without paying attention! She cried out in pain and fell to the ground, her arms immediately covered with purple-black bruises.
Lin Feng shouted angrily and rushed forward, swinging his sword and cutting the bat into two pieces. "Xueqi, how are you?!"
She shook her head in pain, "I have been poisoned... The poison is very powerful... I must find a way to detoxify it as soon as possible..."
Before she finished speaking, she fainted. At the same time, more mutated bats began to attack the last line of defense set up by Lin Feng and others, and the situation became increasingly serious.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng said solemnly: "We have to take her to retreat quickly and find a way to detoxify her."
"It's not too far from the nearby villages. Maybe you can find an old Chinese doctor." Li Feng suggested.
"Good idea! But the most important thing right now is to get out of the danger zone first." Zhao Yunlong agreed, waving the tip of his gun in an attempt to shoot down the flying monsters that were attacking crazily.
After a hard fight, they finally got rid of the mutant bats. The four of them headed straight for the nearest village, Cuizhu Town, without stopping...
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when they arrived at their destination covered in scars and exhausted. Seeing the plight of this group of outsiders, the residents of the town expressed sympathy and soon several kind-hearted people were willing to provide shelter and medical assistance.
One of them, an old doctor with a flowing white beard and a healthy spirit, offered to help treat the wound and even try to remove the toxin. After hearing what happened, he said: "Such a strange poison is rare and unusual, and can be cured by unusual herbs. But fortunately it is not hopeless... If you want to be completely cured, you need to go to Lingshan a hundred miles away to get the 'Nine Color Lotus'." ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned, "Thank you, old man, for showing me the way! Let's set off without further ado."
"Wait a minute!" The old man stretched out his hand to stop the figure who was about to leave. "If you go in such a hurry, you may not even be able to reach the target location halfway. Besides, there are many unknown risks in the mountains, so you need to be careful to deal with them."
After hearing this, the three of them noticed that their condition was indeed not good: Zhao Yunlong had a bandage on his shoulder; Li Feng walked with a slight limp on his left leg; and Xue Qi, who was unconscious and looking increasingly pale, was in urgent need of rest.
In the end, we decided to make adjustments to restore our physical strength and energy and make plans later. "Okay...then let's act as planned." Lin Feng forced a smile and turned to his companions. "Have a good rest tonight and be fully prepared, and then set off to Lingshan tomorrow morning to find the legendary mysterious thing 'Nine-Colored Lotus' that can save people's lives!"
Everyone silently nodded in agreement with the arrangement, and then dispersed into the arranged room, closed their eyes and adjusted their breath, trying to return to the best condition in the shortest time to face all challenges they may face in the future...
At night, the town shrouded in silence looks particularly peaceful. But in a simple cabin, there was still a faint light on, and inside sat a brave man who was anxiously waiting for the dawn to return to the journey to save the life of his friend...
The bright moonlight is like mercury pouring down on the edge of the window sill, reflecting the dots of spots like the twinkling stars in the night sky, depicting a dreamy picture...
"A miracle will definitely happen." Li Feng murmured softly to himself. Although his voice was small, it seemed particularly clear and firm in the quiet night.
Lin Feng sat on the side of the bed and looked at Xue Qi, who was still in a coma, "No matter what, I will find an antidote to make you better, just wait and see."
At dawn the next day, the four of them gathered together again to prepare for a new journey. "Is everyone ready?" Lin Feng looked at his three companions and asked.
"I can't wait for a long time!" Zhao Yunlong smiled heartily and took the lead in stepping out of the threshold.
"Well, let's go." Li Feng followed closely and said with the same confidence and kept up the pace...
Xue Qi opened her eyes and smiled weakly. Although her body was still weak, the light in her eyes was brighter than ever, as if she was ready to face the unknown challenges ahead...
"Let's go!" Lin Feng took one last look at this quiet town that once hosted him and secretly vowed in his heart that no matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead is, he will move forward bravely without fear until he achieves the final victory!
When the four of them stepped out of Cuizhu Town, there was already a faint golden morning light in the sky. They know that what awaits them ahead will be a more difficult challenge - to find the aliens and take revenge. Lin Feng's eyes became more determined: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere to the end." (End of Chapter)
