"So you are really here," the enemy in the lead laughed, "It seems that our information is correct."
"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked angrily. "We are disciples of the Heiyun Sect, who are here to seize this energy source." The man said arrogantly. "I think beautifully, let you go empty-handed today!" Zhao Gang sneered.
The two sides immediately launched a fierce battle. Lin Feng, Zhang Zhen and others tried their best to resist the enemy and protect the senior sister and the energy source. The battle was extremely fierce, and the entire basement was beaten to pieces.
"We have to retreat quickly!" Zhao Gang shouted loudly.
Just as they were about to rush out of the basement, there was a sudden loud bang and the entire basement began to collapse. Lin Feng picked up his senior sister without hesitation and rushed towards the exit with her.
"Hurry, here!" Xiaohui shouted when he found a gap in escape.
People quickly passed through the gap and escaped from the basement. There was an open area outside, but they did not stop and continued to move quickly towards the sect. "I finally escaped." Lin Feng said gasping.
"Are everyone okay?" Zhao Gang quickly checked everyone's condition and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was injured.
The senior sister leaned weakly on Lin Feng's shoulder, with a pale face but firm eyes: "We have to bring this energy source back to the sect as soon as possible, where there are more powerful protective measures."
"Yes, we must send this crystal ball safely back before the Black Cloud Sect." Lin Feng said firmly.
"They will definitely not give up easily, and they will definitely chase after him." Zhang Zhen looked around nervously, afraid that the shadow of the enemy would appear again.
"Then let's set off now," Zhao Gang ordered decisively, "Xiaohui, lead the way and find the fastest route."
"Yes!" Xiaohui responded quickly and led everyone to the bottom of the mountain. They cross the jungle, cross the stream, and choose as hidden and easy to defend as possible.
On the road, Lin Feng and Zhang Zhen exchanged their eyes and arranged tacitly on both sides of the line, alerting to possible dangers around them at any time. They knew that the people of Heiyun Sect would definitely not give up. "Which direction do you think they will chase after you?" Zhang Zhen asked in a low voice.
"If I were them, I would definitely pursue from multiple directions at the same time, trying to cut off our retreat." Lin Feng replied for a moment of contemplation.
"Then what should we do?"
"Distract them and try to delay time. We can use the advantages of the terrain to set some small traps so that they dare not make it easy." "Good idea, but I'm worried that there is not enough time." Zhang Zhen frowned. "I can only try." Lin Feng nodded firmly.
They continued to advance along the mountain road and finally arrived at an open area. The sun shines in this empty place, but it does not bring them much security. "Stay a break and restore your energy." Zhao Gang waved his hand to signal everyone to stop. Everyone sat together and took out dry food and water to replenish their energy.
"Senior sister, how do you feel?" Lin Feng asked with concern. "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." The senior sister said softly. "Thanks to you for this mission, otherwise we would not be able to find this energy source at all." Zhang Zhen said gratefully. "This is my duty, we are all fighting to protect the Tianmen Sect." The eldest sister smiled slightly.
After taking a break, Lin Feng stood up to observe the surrounding terrain, thinking about how to deal with possible pursuits. "We can set a few traps ahead and delay time."
"Okay, I'll help you with the arrangement." Xiaohui stood up, and the two quickly divided the work and set up several simple traps in the woods not far away. "I hope these traps can work." Zhang Zhen said worriedly, standing aside. "Don't worry, we have other means." Lin Feng replied firmly.
After setting up the trap, everyone continued to move forward. After walking for a while, Lin Feng suddenly stopped and looked forward with a serious expression. "What's wrong, Senior Brother Lin?" Xiaohui asked in confusion.
"There is a team of people in front of him, and they should be from the Heiyun Sect." Lin Feng whispered. "You caught up with me so quickly? It's so terrifying." Zhang Zhen frowned. "We can't move forward any more, otherwise they will find out." Lin Feng analyzed. "What should I do?" Xiaohui asked anxiously. "Let's take a detour and walk from the small path." Zhao Gang decisively issued an order.
Everyone immediately changed direction and advanced quickly along a winding path. Although this road is rugged, it is relatively hidden and not easy to be discovered by the enemy.
After a trekking, they finally left the open area and re-entered the woods. The dense woods provide them with good cover, but also make the road more and more difficult. "Be careful, everyone, the road here is very slippery." Lin Feng reminded. "Don't worry, we must be careful." Zhang Zhen said firmly.
They move forward carefully, with extra caution at every step. Suddenly, a slight noise came from the front, and Lin Feng immediately signaled everyone to stop.
"What's the situation?" Zhao Gang whispered.
"Someone is in front, but not sure if it is the enemy." Lin Feng replied cautiously. "Let's go around and don't disturb them." Zhao Gang ordered in a low voice.
Everyone carefully walked around the obstacle ahead and finally saw a small cave. This is a naturally formed cave with a small entrance and looks very hidden.
"Go in and hide and see if they can find this place." Lin Feng suggested softly.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look." Zhao Gang agreed.
Everyone quickly entered the cave, and Lin Feng and Zhang Zhen were guarding the entrance of the cave, paying close attention to the situation outside. The cave is dark and humid, but it is finally safe for the time being. "Senior sister, you have some rest first, we will protect the crystal ball." Lin Feng said to the senior sister. "Thank you for your hard work." The senior sister nodded gratefully.
Just as they were about to rest for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps and speeches outside. Everyone immediately became alert and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"They are here, prepare their weapons." Lin Feng whispered. "Yes!" Zhang Zhen, Xiaohui and others quickly pulled out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands. "If found out, you must fight back and protect the senior sister and the crystal ball." Zhao Gang ordered firmly. "I understand!" everyone responded in unison.
At this time, the sound outside the cave was getting closer and closer, and they could already hear the enemy's conversation. Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he held the sword in his hand tightly, preparing to welcome the upcoming battle.
"No matter what happens, we cannot retreat." Lin Feng said to everyone firmly. "That's right, the disciples of Tianmen Sect must not let the enemy take away this energy source that concerns the survival of the sect." Zhang Zhen agreed firmly.
At this moment, the enemy outside the cave was getting closer and closer, and the voices were clearly heard. "They must be hiding nearby. If you search carefully, you can't let them run away!" a hoarse voice ordered.
Lin Feng held his breath and signaled everyone to remain absolutely quiet. He held the sword tightly and silently prayed in his heart that the cave would not be discovered. However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the entrance of the cave: "Lin Feng, don't move!"
Everyone was shocked and saw a black shadow flashing in from the entrance of the cave quietly. The man quickly approached them in the darkness until he approached the fire, and everyone could see clearly his appearance - it turned out to be an elder in the sect that the senior sister mentioned before. "Elder? Why are you here?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.
The elder whispered, "I don't have time to explain, follow me quickly, they will be here soon."

Everyone did not dare to delay, so he quickly followed the elder out of the cave and advanced quickly along a hidden path. This path is extremely rugged and difficult to walk, but fortunately, the trees are dense and obscuring a lot of tracks.
After walking for a while, the elder stopped and turned to everyone and said, "There is a dense forest ahead. You can find a hidden valley through that forest. You can rest there for a while, but I must go back and drag the pursuers to buy you time."
"But, elder, how can you deal with so many enemies alone?" Zhao Gang asked worriedly.
The elder smiled and said firmly, "Don't worry, I have my own way. The most important thing now is to protect the crystal ball and go to that valley quickly."
"Thank you, Elder!" Lin Feng said gratefully.
The elder nodded, waved his hand to signal everyone to leave as soon as possible, and then turned around and quickly left in the direction of coming. He was agile and soon disappeared into the woods.
Everyone did not stop too much and immediately moved in the direction guided by the elder. After passing through a dense bush, I finally arrived at the hidden valley. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a narrow path entering and exiting, which is indeed an ideal hidden place. "Let's rest here for a while." Lin Feng suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and each found a place to sit down, preparing to take a break. At this time, Zhang Zhen walked to Lin Feng and whispered, "Senior Brother Lin, I think this matter is very strange. We fled all the way here, but the enemy seemed to know us well and even knew our whereabouts very clearly."
"Well, I felt this too. The elder appeared too coincidental." Lin Feng frowned slightly, thinking about something.
At this moment, the elder sister's weak voice sounded: "Let's make sure it's safe first. No matter what, the most urgent thing is to bring the crystal ball back."
Lin Feng and Zhang Zhen nodded, and then ordered everyone to set up alerts separately to ensure that this hidden place would not be easily discovered.
Just as they were discussing their next plan, a black shadow suddenly passed by the treetops and fell in front of them. The man was wearing a black tights, a mask on his face, and a cold smell all over his body. "As expected, you are indeed here." The man said coldly. "Who are you?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly, holding the long sword in his hand, ready to attack at any time. "Don't ask who I am," the man's voice was strange. "I'm just here to complete my mission. Take this talented boy away and use it as a furnace."
As he said that, he rushed towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng reacted quickly and waved his sword to fight. The two of them started a fierce battle in an instant, and the air around them was stirred up by the fierce battle as if boiling.
The others hurriedly pulled out their weapons and besieged the man in black. But this man is very skilled in martial arts and is not inferior even when facing the joint attacks of everyone. Instead, he presses step by step, catching everyone off guard.
"You are not my opponents, so you should surrender obediently." The man in black said with disdain.
"Don't think about it!" Lin Feng shouted angrily, and used his unique skills with all his strength, and finally forced the man in black to take a few steps back. But this short advantage did not last long, and the man in black launched a fierce attack again, forcing Lin Feng to retreat repeatedly.
At this moment, Zhao Gang discovered a flaw in the other party, and immediately took the opportunity to slash and slashed hard at the side of the man in black. The man in black had to dodge, and this action gave others a chance to fight back.
Zhang Zhen and several others seized the opportunity to attack at the same time, forcing the man in black to retreat again. "I didn't expect you guys to be really capable." A surprise flashed in the man in black's eyes, and he sneered, "But these are not enough!"
Suddenly, the grass around him trembled, and then several people in black rushed out. It turned out that the enemy had planned it for a long time and had been ambushing it.
Lin Feng realized that the situation was not good and ordered loudly: "Everyone is together, don't disperse!"
At this critical moment, the elder miraculously rushed back, followed by several disciples of the Tianmen Sect. "Stand by, reinforcements are here!" the elder shouted loudly.
When the enemy saw this, his face suddenly changed, obviously he did not expect such a change. The people in black exchanged glances, as if they had made up some determination. One of them suddenly yelled: "Take the target away!"
Two men in black immediately rushed towards Lin Feng, trying to take him away. Lin Feng resisted vigorously, but in the end he was outnumbered and was about to be subdued. At this critical moment, Zhang Zhen tried his best to slash at one of the men in black's arms with his sword, and blood splattered out.
"Don't let them succeed!" Zhao Gang shouted loudly and tried hard to stand in front of Lin Feng. "Damn it!" The injured man in black roared and rushed towards Zhao Gang desperately. At this moment, several other enemies suddenly let out a strange whistle in unison, and all the men in black quickly retreated in the same direction. "Chasing! Don't let them run away!" the elder shouted sternly.
Everyone immediately followed, but the man in black was extremely fast and quickly disappeared into the dense forest. Lin Feng gasped, his heart full of anger and uneasiness. "What is the origin of these guys? How could they understand us so much?" Zhang Zhen asked in confusion.
The elder looked solemn and said in a low voice: "These enemies are obviously not ordinary bandits. Their goal is to steal the crystal ball and catch you."
Lin Feng clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "No matter who they are, I will never let them succeed."
"Don't worry, we have to ensure safety here." Zhao Gang reminded, "Since the enemy knows our location, I'm afraid we won't stay here for long."
"It's right." Lin Feng nodded in agreement, "Senior Sister, what do you think of this? Let's change the place to take a break and organize the next action plan."
The eldest sister nodded slightly, with a pale but firm expression, "Thank you all for your hard work, we must act as soon as possible."
At this moment, a disciple of the Tianmen Sect hurried over and said breathlessly, "Senior Brother Lin, Brother Zhao Gang, we found some suspicious traces at the foot of the mountain, and it seems that there are another group of people moving nearby."
Lin Feng frowned and said, "Soundsome enemy tracks are really uneasy. Everyone is vigilant, we cannot neglect any."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Elder, what do you think of next?" Lin Feng turned to the mysterious and decisive elder, hoping to get some advice from him.
The elder pondered for a moment and said seriously: "The current situation is very critical. Not only are the enemy large, but it is obviously prepared. We need to find a more hidden place and set more traps to prevent being tracked again."
"I understand." Lin Feng nodded, "Zhao Gang, you take some people to set up traps; Xiaohui, you are responsible for protecting the senior sister; Zhang Zhen, you go with me to investigate the surrounding environment." (End of this chapter)
