Liu Qing handed him a glass of water: "You're welcome, we are all destitute people from the end of the world. By the way, which village nearby are you from?"
The man took the water and took a sip: "I am from Sanlipo Village, and my name is Li Qiang. Recently, there have been a group of masked people making trouble here, which makes people panic."
Li Feng asked thoughtfully: "Where do they usually stay?"
Li Qiang hesitated for a moment: "It is said that they camped in an abandoned mine, not too far from here. However, the terrain there is complicated, and ordinary people dare not approach it easily."
Su Yu looked at Lin Feng and whispered: "This news may be useful to us."
Lin Feng said solemnly: "That's right. Maybe we can take the opportunity to do some digging and find more clues."
Liu Qing nodded in agreement: "Well, if we can catch these guys, maybe we can find out what happened with Tianmen Sect." Several people quickly discussed a simple action plan and decided to take action immediately.
Under the night, the group of people quietly approached the abandoned mine according to the direction provided by Li Qiang. From a distance, I could see several firelights flickering at the entrance of the mine, and it seemed that several people were standing guard at the door.
"We split up. Li Feng, Qin Yang and I first attracted their attention from the front, while Liu Qing and Zhao Ming went around to flank them." Lin Feng said in a low voice.
Everyone nodded and acted according to the assigned tasks. Soon, the sound of swords clashing came from the front. The guards were indeed fooled and quickly rushed in the direction of the source of the sound.
At this time, Liu Qing and Zhao Ming had quietly sneaked into the mine. It was pitch dark inside the cave and could only be illuminated by fire. There is a strange smell in the air, as if there is an ulterior secret hidden in it.
The two of them moved forward cautiously when they suddenly heard someone speaking in front of them.
"Those guys really dare to break in, but it's just right, saving us the trouble of finding them one by one."
Another voice sounded: "Yes, as long as we catch the boy holding the token, we will have made a contribution! By then, promotion and salary increase will be just around the corner!"
Liu Qing and Zhao Ming looked at each other and knew that these words were extremely important to them. So I continued to approach quietly, wanting to hear more information about this organization.
However, at this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in front, and it was obvious that someone was patrolling with a torch. The two of them quickly hid in a dark corner aside, not daring to let out a breath.
"Boss, how's it going inside? What's new?" the patrolman asked.
The leading man sneered: "We haven't found any trace of them yet. They are probably still wandering around the periphery. Be on guard and don't let them succeed!"
After these people walked away, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we were not discovered."
Zhao Mingze frowned: "What should we do now? We need to find a way to deliver the message to others."
At this time, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside, accompanied by several screams. Everyone in the mine ran out in panic.
Liu Qing's eyes lit up: "The opportunity has come! Let's follow up now and see if we can catch their leader!"
As the battle outside the mine gradually ended, Lin Feng and others successfully subdued a group of masked men, including several leaders who seemed to have higher status. One of the masked men struggled and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to mess with us?!"
Lin Feng raised the token in his hand and said calmly: "Because we represent justice. Tell me, who sent you to destroy the Tianmen Sect?"
The man gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, you will never know! Tianmen Sect is destined to be destroyed..."
Li Feng took a step forward and looked at him coldly: "Do you think we will let you go easily?"
The other party's expression changed, but he still didn't speak.
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. They were the two mysterious people who had appeared at the edge of the town before. They approached slowly, with faint smiles on their lips.
"Well done, you have proven your abilities. Next, the real test will begin..." One of the mysterious people said meaningfully.
Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly and looked at each other firmly: "No matter how many difficulties there are ahead, we will continue to move forward until all the truth is revealed."
Liu Qing gently held Lin Feng's hand and encouraged him with a smile: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will fight side by side. Because this is our common destiny."
At this time, on the distant mountains, there is another group of unknown forces watching all this...
"This scene has just begun..." the leader chuckled.
Several people stood in the mine, looking at the scene in front of them and couldn't help feeling nervous. Lin Feng held the token in his hand tightly, his eyes firm and awe-inspiring. Suddenly, two figures appeared at the entrance of the cave. They were the mysterious people who had appeared at the edge of the town before. They approached slowly, with faint smiles on their lips.
"Well done, you have proven your abilities. Next, the real test will begin..." one of the mysterious people said.
Lin Feng's eyes revealed a touch of determination: "No matter how many difficulties there are ahead, we will continue to move forward until all the truth is revealed."
Liu Qing gently held Lin Feng's hand and encouraged him with a smile: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will fight side by side. Because this is our common destiny."
Su Yu looked at the two mysterious people, full of doubts in her heart: "Who are you? Why do you want to help us? What is your purpose?"
One of the mysterious people smiled slightly: "We are allies of Tianmen Sect. As for our purpose, you will know it soon."
At this time, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the mine, and a villager broke in, looking panicked: "Oh no! The village has been attacked! A group of men in black are robbing supplies!"
Lin Feng frowned: "Let's go back quickly, we can't let those people succeed!"
Several people quickly rushed towards the village. On the way, they encountered many panicked villagers who asked them for help.
"Heroes, please, please save us!" an old woman cried.
"Don't be afraid, we will protect you." Lin Feng comforted.
When they arrived at the village, they found that the village was in chaos, and people in black were frantically plundering food and money. The villagers fled in all directions, in despair.
"How dare these evil thieves come here to cause trouble!" Qin Yang widened his eyes angrily, pulled out his sword, and prepared to charge forward.
Lin Feng waved his hand to stop him: "Calm down, don't be reckless. We have to find a way to lead them to one place and concentrate our efforts to annihilate them."
Zhao Ming had an idea: "I have an idea. We can use the terrain of the village. There is an alley here that leads to an open space outside the village. We can set up an ambush."
Liu Qing nodded: "Good idea. Let's split up first. Li Feng and Su Yu will be responsible for distracting them. Qin Yang, Zhao Ming and I will set up an ambush."
The few people quickly separated and acted according to the plan. Li Feng and Su Yu pretended to be escaped villagers and lured the man in black into the alley. On the other side, Liu Qing and others buried hidden weapons and traps in the open area. As expected, the men in black chased him into the alley, but were soon taken to a pre-arranged trap area. With a loud noise, the people in black fell into chaos.
"Haha, I didn't expect such a trick!" Lin Feng swung his sword towards a man in black, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the opponent's throat.
"Boy, you still dare to resist?!" A man in black rushed over fiercely, but was chopped down by Lin Feng with one move.
"You scumbags, I will destroy you all today!" Liu Qing said sternly, the sword light in her hand struck at the enemy like lightning.
The battle lasted for a while, and finally, the last wave of men in black was subdued. The cheers of the villagers echoed throughout the village.
"Great, we won!" a little boy shouted excitedly.
"Thank you, heroes! We don't know how to repay you." A village chief said with tears of gratitude.
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "This is just what we should do. The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the village and prevent it from being attacked again."
Liu Qing walked to Lin Feng and asked in a low voice: "Do you think those two mysterious people will come again?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and looked up into the distance: "They will definitely make their next move. However, what we have to do now is to prepare for the upcoming challenges."
The mysterious man looked at Lin Feng and others with a smile, and said slowly: "We are very satisfied with your performance. Now, we have a trial mission, which is very dangerous, but after success, you will gain the support and powerful power of Tianmen Sect. .”

Li Feng frowned and asked, "What is the content of the trial?"
Another mysterious man answered: "The content of the trial is very simple, but extremely dangerous. You need to enter a place called the 'Dark Labyrinth', which is full of various mechanisms and powerful enemies. Your task is to find The 'Stone of Light' hidden in the deepest part of the maze. Only by getting this stone can you prove your ability."
Su Yu asked hesitantly: "What if we don't want to participate?"
The mysterious man shrugged and said calmly: "That's okay, this is a voluntary trial. But we guarantee that the benefits after completing the trial will be far beyond your imagination."
Lin Feng looked at Liu Qing, Li Feng, Su Yu and others, and said firmly: "We have come this far and will not retreat easily. We will accept this trial and prove our strength."
Liu Qing smiled slightly and clenched the sword in her hand: "I am willing to participate."
Li Feng nodded and said: "I agree too."
Qin Yang patted his chest: "Follow the brothers and never fall behind!"
Zhao Ming's eyes were firm: "Me too."
After several companions unanimously agreed, the mysterious man nodded with satisfaction and handed them a map and several tokens.
"This map will guide you into the dark maze. And these tokens can protect you at critical moments. Remember, you must complete the task within seven days." The mysterious man said.
Lin Feng took the map and token, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the mysterious man: "So, when will we set off?"
"You can leave at any time," the mysterious man replied, "However, I suggest you prepare first. After all, this is a life and death test."
After several people left the mine, they immediately began to discuss how to prepare. They first went to the village and borrowed some dry food and water from the villagers, and then went to a grocery store to buy some necessities.
In the evening, they gathered in a small inn and sat around to discuss plans.
"We will set off tomorrow morning," Lin Feng said. "Let's go to bed early tonight and maintain sufficient physical strength."
Li Feng nodded and said: "Okay, I will prepare some first aid medicines and tools."
Liu Qing added: "I will also check our weapons and equipment to make sure everything is safe."
Early the next morning, several people took the necessary supplies and headed towards the dark maze according to the route on the map. Along the way, they were careful and tried to avoid danger.
After several hours of trekking, they finally came to a dense forest. There is a thick fog here, which makes people feel an indescribable sense of depression.
"Look, the entrance is ahead." Liu Qing pointed to a huge rock in front of her and said.
A few people took a closer look and found many strange symbols carved on the boulder, which were obviously some kind of ancient writing.
"Is this the entrance to the dark maze?" Li Feng asked doubtfully.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Yes, we should enter from here."
Just as they were about to enter, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily.
A voice came from behind the boulder: "You are indeed here. Welcome to the dark labyrinth, which is full of unknowns and dangers. But as long as you can pass all the tests, you will get generous rewards."
Lin Feng clenched his fists and said firmly: "We are ready to meet all challenges."
The mysterious voice chuckled: "Very good, let's wait and see. I wish you good luck."
After saying that, a ray of light flashed, and the boulder slowly cracked, revealing a deep passage. The passage was pitch black, and only the faint light of fire in the distance could be seen.
"Let's go, we have to face everything bravely." Liu Qing said firmly, leading everyone into the dark maze.
As they went deeper into the maze, the surroundings gradually became colder and the air became more humid. Suddenly, a deep roar sounded, and several people stopped.
"Be careful, something is approaching!" Zhao Ming warned in a low voice.
In the darkness, pairs of eyes flickered in the firelight, seeming to be observing them.
"Get ready to fight!" Lin Feng shouted, drew his sword, and prepared to fight the incoming enemy.
Liu Qing held the sword tightly with a firm look in her eyes: "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, we will fight side by side."
Several people immediately put on a fighting stance and looked around vigilantly. In the darkness, those eyes gradually approached, and finally several huge monsters jumped out from the shadows. These monsters are huge in size, covered with scales and have fierce eyes.
"Wow, what a big guy!" Li Feng said in surprise, holding the long sword in his hand tighter. (End of chapter)
