As Lin Feng and his group deepened, the atmosphere around them became more and more solemn. There was a strange wave of power in the air, as if some powerful existence was watching them. Suddenly, a huge stone chamber appeared in front of him, with complex patterns carved on the walls and a huge stone platform in the center. "This is the core." Lin Feng whispered, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
They approached the stone platform carefully, and saw that the stone platform was carved with many strange symbols. In the center of the stone platform, a dazzling gem flashed with dazzling light, as if it contained infinite power. "This is the core of control!" Lin Feng said excitedly, then walked forward and tried to get in touch with the gem.
Just as Lin Feng's hand was about to touch the gem, a strong energy fluctuation burst out from the gem, pushing him away suddenly. The entire stone chamber began to vibrate violently, and the surrounding mechanisms were also activated. A large number of hidden arrows of mechanisms suddenly surged out from the stone wall and shot them.
"Everyone, dodge!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, and at the same time, he waved his sword to cut off several flying arrows.
Everyone reacted quickly and avoided, but some were still injured by hidden arrows. Lin Feng was anxious. He realized that it was impossible to get directly into the gem and he had to find another way. "We must close these mechanisms, otherwise we cannot continue moving forward!" Lin Feng said loudly, waving his sword to resist the hidden arrows while looking for the mechanism's control device.
At this moment, Zhang Zhen suddenly appeared outside the stone room and shouted, "Lin Feng, we found a switch outside to close the trap here!"
Lin Feng was excited and immediately responded, "Hurry, turn on that switch!"
Zhang Zhen acted quickly and pressed down the mechanism hidden in the stone wall. Suddenly, the mechanism in the stone chamber stopped operating and everything returned to peace. Lin Feng returned to the stone platform and carefully took down the gem.
As the gem was taken out, the runes on the stone platform gradually dissipated, and a slight sound of collapse came from the stone chamber. Lin Feng understood that they had no time left and they had to leave this place as soon as possible. "Go away quickly, the ruins are about to collapse!" Lin Feng ordered loudly, and quickly withdrew from the stone chamber with everyone.
They quickly retreated along the way they came. Although they encountered some difficulties on the way, they finally succeeded in leaving the ruins. The moment they walked out of the ruins, the sunlight outside shone on their faces, giving people a long-lost warmth. "We did it and finally left this ghost place." Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the remains standing behind him, feeling complicated.
"What should I do now? Go back to Tianmen Sect?" Zhang Zhen asked.
Lin Feng nodded, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes: "Yes, we have to go back and report all this. This gem may solve more mysteries."
Just as they were about to set off and return, a loud bang suddenly came from the distant forest, and then a black shadow rushed out of the woods and headed straight for them. "What is this..." Lin Feng frowned and instinctively raised his sword, ready to fight.
"No matter what it is, we have to face it!" Xiaohui said firmly from the side. Although his injury has not fully recovered, he is still full of courage.
Before Lin Feng and others could react, the black shadow was approaching quickly. They looked closely and saw a man in black running towards them, looking anxious. "The Great Elder is besieged! Go back!" The man in black gasped and said anxiously, "Our people can't hold back for too long, we must return to help immediately!"
Everyone was shocked. Although Xiaohui's injuries had not fully recovered, he heard this, a decisive flame ignited in his eyes. "Captain, go, you can't waste time any more!"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and ordered decisively: "Everyone, go back to Tianmen Sect with me! Be sure to rescue the great elder!" Then he turned around and led the team back along the original path. There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone knew what the outcome of this battle meant.
On the way back to Tianmen Sect, everyone's heart was filled with worries and uneasiness. They didn't know what was waiting for them, so they could only try their best to rush. After several hours of rapid movement, when we finally saw the familiar mountain gate, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, this feeling of relaxation lasted for only a moment. I saw a fierce battle outside the mountain gate. More than a dozen enemies in strange costumes, holding various strange weapons, were besieging a group of hard-working disciples. Among them, the most conspicuous one is the Great Elder. He is agile and a long sword dances like a dragon and a snake in his hand, but it still seems very difficult. "It's those mysterious forces!" Zhang Zhen recognized the origin of these enemies and said with a serious expression, "We must provide support immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng rushed into the battlefield without hesitation. His arrival seemed to inject a shot of a heart-warming shot into his companions who were on the verge of despair. Immediately afterwards, others followed one after another and joined the battle. For a time, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically. "Great Elder, hold on, we're here!" Lin Feng shouted and waved his sword. As the spiritual power surged, the sword light was like lightning and thunder, directly hitting the enemy closest to the Great Elder. With the other party screaming, he was killed several meters away.
The elder saw the arrival of reinforcements, and his eyes were filled with surprise, but he did not dare to slacken at all. The two fought side by side and cooperated with each other in an extremely tacit understanding. The other team members were not willing to be outdone, and showed off their special skills and fought with the enemy.
Just as the battle situation was gradually turning to our own side, suddenly, a tall figure with a mask appeared in the enemy group, and his whole body exuded a heart-wrenching aura. "This is their leader!" Liu Gang reminded in a deep voice, while watching the newly emerged powerful opponent vigilantly.
The man slowly raised the staff in his hand, and a huge dark energy swept over in an instant, making everyone feel depressed. Obviously, the enemy leader did not really participate in the battle before, but now he seems to no longer hide his weakness and intends to reverse the defeat in one fell swoop.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, Lin Feng did not retreat at all, held the sword tightly, and loudly encouraged his companions: "Don't be afraid, try your best, and believe we can win!"
At this moment, the great elder suddenly spoke, "Lin Feng, remember what I said - no matter what happens, you must live! For the Tianmen Sect, for everything we protect together!" After that, he condensed all his skills on his palm and resolutely faced the black storm...
"Wait!" Lin Feng wanted to stop it, but it was too late. The two forces collided violently in the air and burst out with an unprecedented shock wave. After the light dissipated, there was only a mess left on the battlefield...
Lin Feng watched the Great Elder colliding with the dark energy, and the huge shock wave forced everyone to stabilize their bodies. When the light disappeared, the scene in front of everyone's heart suddenly sank. The Great Elder fell to the ground, with blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, obviously seriously injured. "Great Elder!" Lin Feng hurried forward and helped him up. Zhang Zhen and the others hurriedly surrounded him, their eyes full of anxiety and worry.
"Don't worry about me, go and deal with those enemies!" The Great Elder's voice was weak but firm. He struggled hard to stand up, but it was obviously the last moment of strength.
At this moment, a long roar came from a distance, and a white shadow rushed towards him like lightning. The second elder Zhao Gang finally arrived! His appearance immediately reversed the situation on the battlefield. Zhao Gang was wearing a white robe and holding a long sword with a flashing light in his hand, and his whole body exuded an awesome aura.
"You bastards, dare to make trouble in our Tianmen Sect!" Zhao Gang shouted angrily, waved the long sword in his hand, and his spiritual power was everywhere, and directly forced the surrounding enemies to retreat several steps. He quickly rushed to Lin Feng's side and looked at the elder lying on the ground with concern, "Boss, how are you doing?"
"Fortunately... Zhao Gang, I'll leave it to you here." The elder forced a smile, his voice was extremely weak. Zhao Gang nodded, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let them succeed."
After saying that, he immediately turned to the center of the battlefield and rushed towards the enemy leader with a long sword in his hand. The difference in strength between the two was obvious at a glance, and Zhao Gang's speed and strength were far superior to his opponent. Within a few moves, he forced the enemy to retreat step by step, and the disciples around him also mustered up the courage to fight bravely again.
Seeing the strong support of the second elder, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to others, "We must deal with other enemies as soon as possible, and we cannot let their main force drag it down!"
The latest ⊥Xiao⊥Send⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
Zhang Zhen nodded and responded: "Yes, come on, everyone, fight quickly!"
Everyone agreed in unison, each exerting its greatest strength and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy. Although there were a large number of enemies, with the help of the second elder, they gradually gained the upper hand.
Just as the battle situation was getting clearer, suddenly, a large group of men in black emerged from the woods not far away. The leader shouted loudly: "Don't think we only have this little man. Today we will let your Tianmen Sect be destroyed from now on!"
This sudden change made everyone present nervous. Seeing that the situation was critical again, Zhao Gang cursed with gritted teeth: "There are reinforcements! Lin Feng, protect the elder, I'll stop it!"
As he said, he raised his sword to face the enemies who had just come. The tip of the sword was whistling with the sound of wind, and wherever he passed, the enemies screamed and fell to the ground. However, even as powerful as the second elder, he could not resist the fierce attack of so many people alone. Lin Feng could see clearly, and he knew that he had to find a way to solve the situation in front of him.
"Xiaohui, go and see if there are any mechanisms or traps nearby. We can use the environment to fight back!" Lin Feng issued an order in a hurry. "I understand!" Xiaohui nodded and immediately began to search around. Not long after, he shouted in surprise: "Captain, I found it! There is a hidden mechanism nearby that can cause a large-scale collapse!"
"Great!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he immediately decided to take advantage of this opportunity. He ordered Zhang Zhen: "You go and notify everyone to retreat to a safe place. I will detonate the agency and cause trouble for these people!"
After the arrangement was made, Lin Feng led a few people to quietly approach the location of the agency. When he confirmed that no one around him noticed them, he quickly pressed the button. In an instant, the ground vibrated violently, rocks rolled down, dust flew, and in chaos, many enemies were buried in the collapsed ruins.
Take this opportunity, Zhao Gang led the remaining team members to quickly evacuate to safety. Lin Feng and others also successfully escaped from the dangerous area. Although I have successfully escaped from the siege of the enemy, everyone knows in my heart that the real test may have just begun...
Back in the temporary camp, the Great Elder had been placed in a relatively flat place, and Zhao Gang was treating his wounds. Seeing this scene, Lin Feng couldn't help asking, "Second Elder, what's the situation of the Great Elder?"
Zhao Gang raised his head and looked heavy: "He is still in a coma. Although the body in the late stage of the Jindan can withstand some damage, the damage was too serious this time. It may take a long time to fully recover."
Hearing this, everyone's faces looked worried. Zhang Zhen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "It's all our lack of strength that has implicated the great elders."
"Not you, we underestimated the enemy's strength." Zhao Gang shook his head gently, "The most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation in the sect and find out the other party's true intentions. Lin Feng, the next task may be more difficult, and we must be fully prepared."
"Yes, the second elder!" Lin Feng replied solemnly, and then looked at his companions around him: "Everyone, no matter how many difficulties there are waiting for us, as long as we unite, there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome. Continue to set off tomorrow, and immediately start investigating the truth of all this after returning to the sect!"
Everyone agreed and their morale was revived. At this moment, a fire of hope was ignited in the eyes of these young people.
Before night falls, they set up simple fortifications around the camp. After dinner, everyone took turns to rest at night. Before going to bed, Lin Feng and Zhang Zhen sat by the campfire and chatted, recalling today's battle scene. "What do you think the enemy came for?" Zhang Zhen asked in confusion. "I'm not sure yet, but this gem should have nothing to do with this matter." Lin Feng took out the luminous treasure he had just obtained from his arms and looked carefully. "Anyway, save it first, maybe there are key clues hidden inside."
As the conversation, the low roar of wild beasts came faintly from a distance, adding a bit of uneasy atmosphere to this quiet night. The two looked at each other, with a firmness in their eyes. "Anyway, we will protect everyone here until we find all the answers."
The flames reflected the faces of the young warriors as they jumped. Although the future was unpredictable, as long as they always stood on the same front, there would be no enemies that could not be defeated. As the last embers gradually fade, a new journey has slowly unfolded before your eyes... (This chapter ends)
