A warm force enveloped several people, making them feel that their whole bodies were full of strength. Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng's offensive became more fierce, and Lin Feng guarded Xue Qi and Oil Lamp more effectively.
The enemy obviously did not expect reinforcements to arrive, and the position was suddenly in chaos. As several enemies fell, others began to scatter.
In the end, the last enemy was stabbed in the vital point by Li Feng's sword, ending the battle completely. The battlefield fell silent, with only slight gasps echoing in the air.
"Thank you for your help, Taoist Su." Lin Feng said gratefully and handed her some dry food.
Su Yu shook her head gently and smiled slightly, "It's just a little effort. I can feel the strong sense of mission in you, and I also want to make some contributions to the world."
"Let's act together." Xue Qi said weakly but firmly, "It's always a good thing to have an extra companion."
The four of them regrouped and set off. This time with the addition of Su Yu, their mood was obviously much more relaxed.
"Ahead is Lingshan Mountain." Zhao Yunlong said, pointing to the looming mountain range ahead.
"Then, let's go." Li Feng said excitedly, "No matter how difficult it is, we must complete the mission."
Everyone nodded and embarked on the journey again, moving forward facing the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
"You will definitely find it, right?" Li Feng said softly.
"Of course we will find it." Zhao Yunlong responded firmly, "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, we will overcome it together."
"Yeah." Lin Feng looked at Xue Qi and smiled softly.
Xue Qi's eyes were equally determined. Although her body was still weak, her heart was extremely strong.
The night is dark and the wind is freezing. Lin Feng, Xue Qi, Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng have been walking for nearly an hour, but they still seem to be out of reach from Lingshan Mountain. Their pace began to become heavy, and everyone's heart was cast with a shadow of anxiety.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling howl pierced the night sky, the sound was low and full of threat. Several people immediately stopped and looked around cautiously.
"It's a demon!" Zhao Yunlong shouted in a low voice, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
The oil lamp in Lin Feng's hand suddenly lit up with a strong light, illuminating the darkness ahead. "Get ready to fight!" His tone was firm and calm.
Not far away, a huge demon gradually appeared in the darkness. It has a body like a hill, its eyes are shining with green light, and its mouth is dripping with fishy saliva. Every step it takes makes the earth tremble slightly.
"Damn guy." Li Feng gritted his teeth, pulled out his long sword, and prepared to attack.
Su Yu also stood beside everyone, the top of her staff emitted a soft white light, "I will try my best to provide shelter for everyone."
Xue Qi clenched the dagger in her hand. Although her body was still weak, the determination in her eyes was impossible to ignore. "Let's fight together!"
"Don't let it get close to us," Zhao Yunlong said in a deep voice, with both swords in hand, ready to attack.
The demon seemed to be aware of the threat, and rushed towards the four people with a roar. As the earth trembled and the mountains shook, a fishy smell hit the face, making people feel extremely sick.
Lin Feng raised the oil lamp high, and the powerful light swept away the surrounding darkness. The sudden light seemed to sting the demon's eyes, and it suddenly stopped and let out a sharp roar.
Zhao Yunlong saw the opportunity and took action quickly. His body was as strong as a rabbit in flight, and he instantly came to the demon's side. His two swords slashed down as fast as lightning, but only left tiny traces on the thick scales.
"This guy's defense is too strong!" Zhao Yunlong took a few steps back and gasped.
Not to be outdone, Li Feng leaped into the air with lightning speed and slashed at the demon's head with his sword. However, this demon was obviously no mediocre person. He evaded nimbly and slapped Li Feng with his palm.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Li Feng forcibly reversed his direction in the air to avoid the fatal blow, but he fell heavily to the ground, feeling dizzy for a moment.
Seeing this, Xue Qi immediately rushed up to block him, "I'll protect you!" She shouted loudly, and the short knife fiercely blocked the demon's claws.
However, the difference in strength was too great. Xue Qi was lifted away by the huge force and hit a tree hard.
"Xue Qi!" Lin Feng exclaimed, his eyes filled with anxiety and distress. He no longer hesitated and rushed directly towards the demon. Under his guidance, the light in the oil lamp turned into a bright light blade, severely cutting the demon's body. But even so, the demon only suffered some injuries and did not receive a fatal blow.
Just when the situation was gradually reaching a deadlock, Su Yu whispered a spell, and the light at the top of her staff suddenly became more dazzling. A barrier made of pure energy completely surrounded several people. "This is a barrier that can temporarily block that guy for a moment."
"Get out of here now!" Zhao Yunlong said decisively.
The four of them did not dare to hesitate at all, and supported each other and quickly evacuated the battlefield, leaving only the injured but angry demon trapped in the barrier created by Su Yu.
After running wildly, they finally came to a relatively safe cave to rest. Xue Qi leaned against the stone wall and panted softly, her face pale; Li Feng was checking his injuries; while Zhao Yunlong and Lin Feng were looking outside vigilantly to prevent any accidents.
Su Yu walked to everyone and sat down, "Although we are temporarily out of danger, we can't relax yet. The monster will probably continue to track us..."
"No matter what, we have to keep moving forward," Lin Feng raised his head and looked at everyone, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can't give up looking for the Nine Color Lotus!"
Xue Qi nodded hard, "Well... I believe that as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."
Li Feng patted the dirt on his legs, "That's right! We have to rush to Lingshan. This little thing won't trouble us!"
Zhao Yunlong showed a rare smile, "Well done, let's act according to the original plan."
So the four of them gathered their moods again and moved firmly towards their next destination in this cold night - Lingshan Mountain, which is full of unknowns and hopes.
"We must find it, right?" Li Feng turned to look at Zhao Yunlong and asked.
Zhao Yunlong nodded, "Of course we will find it. No matter how difficult and dangerous the future is, we will face it together." At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the night was as dark as ink and the cold wind was biting. After a night of arduous trekking, Lin Feng, Xue Qi, Zhao Yunlong, Li Feng and Su Yu finally arrived at the foot of the legendary Lingshan Mountain. The atmosphere here is extremely tense, and there is a mysterious and ancient atmosphere in the air.
"Look over there!" Zhao Yunlong reminded in a low voice, pointing to a ruins not far away. I saw the vague remains of some ancient buildings on the ruins, which looked particularly dark and strange under the moonlight. Cultivators were constantly rushing there, and it was obvious that this ruins attracted the attention of many people.
"Is this the legendary ruins?" Li Feng frowned, "Why are there so many people?"
"The secrets hidden under Lingshan have attracted countless people to explore." Su Yu explained softly, "There may be precious treasures or secrets of secret techniques hidden here."
When a few people were about to go to the ruins, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "You guys, stop!"
The four of them looked back and saw several cultivators in black slowly approaching. The leader had a sinister smile on his face and a greedy look in his eyes.
"Hand over your things, maybe you can live a little longer." The man in black mocked, the long knife in his hand flashing with cold light.
Zhao Yunlong sneered, holding two swords in his hands: "How dare you come to snatch our things? You don't know whether to live or die!"
Li Feng also drew his long sword and stared at the opponent, ready to fight at any time. "In that case, don't blame us for being merciless!"
Although Xue Qi was still weak, she clenched the dagger in her hand and stood firmly beside her companion. "I won't give up easily!"
The top of Su Yu's staff once again emitted a soft light: "I will do my best to protect everyone."
The two sides faced off for a moment, and then a fierce battle broke out. The men in black attacked fiercely, but Lin Feng and his team cooperated tacitly. Zhao Yunlong was as fast as the wind, and every time he attacked, he could stir up a rain of blood among the enemies; Li Feng used a move to destroy the cauldron and sink the boat with a powerful sword. No one can stop the enemy wherever he goes; Su Yu casts powerful spells, and protective barriers appear in time on those who need help; Xue Qi moves flexibly in the battlefield, looking for opportunities. Fatal shot.
"I didn't expect you guys to be quite powerful..." The leader of the men in black said through gritted teeth. The long knife in his hand suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Zhao Yunlong.
Zhao Yunlong nimbly dodged sideways, and then slashed his wrist with a backhand knife. As a scream rang out, the opponent's weapon came out.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the surrounding cultivators stopped fighting and looked in the direction of the ruins. I saw that the originally peaceful ruins suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and gradually expanded to form a huge light door!
"The ruins are open!" someone shouted, and then everyone rushed towards the light, trying to get into it first to explore the secrets.
In the chaos, the men in black saw the opportunity and fled the scene. "Let's forget it this time, but the score between us has not yet been settled!" After leaving such a threat, they disappeared into the night.
"What should we do now?" Li Feng asked, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"No matter what, since we are already here, let's go in and have a look." Zhao Yunlong said with firm eyes looking at the spectacular scene ahead.
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, the Nine-Colored Lotus is waiting for us inside!"
"But..." Su Yu was slightly worried, "Those people just went in, I don't know what will happen..."
Xue Qi clenched her fist tightly: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome! I believe that miracles will be waiting for us."
Several people took a deep breath and stepped into the light door with firm steps. As the light fades, they find themselves in a completely different space. The air here is heavier, as if even breathing has become difficult. Surrounded by towering stone walls, ancient carvings are looming in the dim light.
"Where...is this place?" Li Feng looked around vigilantly, holding on to the long sword in his hand.
Su Yu waved the staff gently, and the top emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the surrounding environment. "This is a sealed space, and you can't feel the breath of the outside world."
"It seems we can only go forward." Zhao Yunlong said softly and took the lead to walk forward.
Everyone followed Zhao Yun and walked in front of the leader for a while. Suddenly, a harsh roar came and the ground began to shake. Xue Qi's face changed, "Something is coming!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, several huge black monsters jumped out of the darkness. Their spiked bodies shone coldly in the moonlight, and their eyes were full of bloodthirsty madness.
"Get ready to fight!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. Under his guidance, the light in the oil lamp condensed into a dazzling light blade again and slashed towards the front monster.
Zhao Yunlong flew with both swords, and every move hit the vital point. His flexible skills allowed him to maneuver among the monsters with ease. Li Feng was not to be outdone. Every time he swung his sword, he had an overwhelming force, and the powerful impact even knocked away nearby monsters.
Su Yu quickly recited the spell and formed a solid protective barrier around everyone. Although it could not attack directly, it provided great support and protection to the companions.
"I'll cut off the queen!" Xue Qi insisted through gritted teeth, the short knife in her hand constantly slashing at the approaching enemy. Even though the injury has not healed, her movements are still determined and powerful.
After the fierce battle continued for a while, the monsters' offensive finally weakened, but their numbers did not decrease. Just when everyone felt it was a bit difficult, Su Yu suddenly shouted: "Retreat in that direction! I found some clues!"
The four people reacted immediately and ran to one side following her guidance. Not long after, they came to a hidden path and saw a dilapidated stone tablet standing there in front of them, with ancient words engraved on it.
Su Yu stared at the runes and slowly read out the contents: "This place contains the treasures of the ancient gods, and there are also many dangers to stop greedy people. Only those with pure hearts can pass through without hindrance."< br>
"Does this mean this is a training ground?" Zhao Yunlong raised his eyebrows.
Li Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded: "Well, no matter what, since you have come in, you must get what you want before leaving."
Lin Feng was silent for a moment and then said, "We must continue to move forward no matter what, the Nine Color Lotus is very important to us."
Xue Qi panted slightly and nodded, "I believe we can do it."
Just as everyone was preparing to embark on a new journey, the earth shook violently again. This time the feeling was much stronger than before, and even the air seemed to be trembling.
A shocking voice came from the distance, "The intrusion of mortals cannot be tolerated, and you must pay the price for it!" (End of Chapter)
