Chapter 861 Split up
Lin Feng, Xiaoya, Xia Jin and Xiaojie split up and carefully checked the surrounding environment to ensure that there were no missing trackers. At the same time, Meng Yue sat alone in the room, staring at the jade pendant in her hand, silently calculating the next action plan in her heart.
In the dead of night, Lin Feng and others returned one after another. After confirming that they were safe, they sat around the table and began an in-depth discussion.
"Ms. Meng Yue, how do you think we should find the Source Crystal of the Lost City, and how should we awaken our own spiritual consciousness?" Lin Feng asked straight to the point.
Meng Yue smiled slightly: "First, we need to find the exact location of the Lost City. According to my memory, it is located in a special area called the 'time and space rift'. To enter there, you must use the inverse The power of the hourglass. Secondly, regarding the awakening of spiritual consciousness, I need some time to prepare the materials required for the ceremony.”
"Time and space rift?" Xiaoya exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean we have to use the counter-time hourglass to travel through time and space again?"
Meng Yue nodded: "Yes. But before that, we must Make sure your spiritual consciousness is awakened, otherwise you may encounter danger in the Lost City. As for the materials, I need some special herbs and rune stones. Maybe your Supernatural Affairs Bureau can help."
Lin Feng assured: "No problem, we will prepare as soon as possible. However, can you give us more details about the time and space rift?"
Meng Yue thought for a moment and slowly spoke: "The time and space rift is an extremely rare It is a space phenomenon that is an unstable connection point between two or more parallel universes. The Lost City is located in such a rift, maintaining an inseparable relationship with our world. The reverse hourglass serves as a key to guide us through. Rift, enter the Lost City.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they were full of expectations and a little nervous about the challenges they were about to face. They understand that this will be an unprecedented adventure, related to the fate of the hourglass, the lost city, and even the world.
As the night got darker, Lin Feng and others went back to their rooms to rest, their hearts filled with longing and uneasiness about the future. Meng Yue stayed alone in the room and continued to study the jade pendant, trying to find out more secrets about the lost city.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Lin Feng and others woke up early and started a busy day. According to the list provided by Meng Yue, they began to prepare the materials needed for the spiritual consciousness awakening ceremony. At the same time, they contacted the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and requested assistance in finding relevant information about the time and space rift.
In the afternoon, Lin Feng walked into Meng Yue's room and handed her the collected materials: "Ms. Meng Yue, these are the things you need. In addition, news came from the headquarters that they found some information about The clues about the space-time rift are being further verified."
Meng Yue took the materials and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, we can start preparing for the spiritual consciousness awakening ceremony."
< br>As night fell, Lin Feng and others gathered in the open space in the center of the stronghold, surrounding the altar arranged by Meng Yue. Meng Yue held the jade pendant and muttered words, and a mysterious energy began to surge in the air.
"Are you ready?" Meng Yue looked at everyone, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Lin Feng, Xiaoya, Xia Jin and Xiaojie looked at each other and nodded vigorously. They understand that this will be an important turning point in their lives. They are about to awaken the power hidden deep in their hearts and face unknown adventures.
"Then, let's begin." Meng Yue waved her hand gently, and the rune stones on the altar lit up, and a powerful energy ripple spread out, covering everyone.
However, at this moment, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly struck from a distance, interrupting the ongoing ceremony. Everyone was shocked when they saw a dazzling beam of light piercing the night sky and heading straight for the altar.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Feng reacted quickly and pushed Xia Jin and Xiaojie away, while he and Xiaoya jumped to the side.
The beam hit the altar instantly, causing a violent explosion. Flames and debris flew everywhere, and the entire stronghold fell into chaos. When the dust settled, everyone leaned out from behind the bunker in shock, only to see that the altar had been destroyed, and Meng Yue fell not far away, her life or death uncertain.
Ignoring the danger, Lin Feng rushed forward to check on Meng Yue's condition. Fortunately, although Meng Yue was seriously injured, she was still alive. He immediately called Xiaoya and Xia Jin to come over for help and carried Meng Yue into the stronghold for emergency treatment.
"Who is it? Who attacked us?" Xiaojie asked angrily, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge.
"It's not clear, but what is certain is that the other party has extraordinary weapons and knows our actions well." Lin Feng replied in a deep voice, his eyes equally cold and determined, "We must find out what is behind the scenes as soon as possible Black hand, otherwise our operations will face greater threats."
Xiaoya looked at Meng Yue worriedly, she knew that Meng Yue was crucial to finding the Lost City and fighting against the Shadow Alliance: "Ms. Meng Yue. The injury is serious and we may not be able to continue participating in the operation in the short term. "
Xia Jin thought for a moment and made a suggestion: "Since Ms. Meng Yue has pointed out the direction for us, we should follow her guidance and continue to advance the plan. She once mentioned that to enter the Lost City, we must use reverse time. The power of the hourglass travels through the time and space rift. Our first task now is to find the exact location of the time and space rift and try to activate the reverse time hourglass."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, the headquarters should have detected the time and space. Clues related to the rift. Xiaojie, you are responsible for contacting the headquarters to inquire about the specific situation and see if they can provide more precise coordinates. Xiaoya, you and I will study the reverse hourglass to see if we can find a way to activate it. Xia Jin, you are responsible for continuing to collect information about the Source Crystal and the awakening of spiritual consciousness. You may be able to find an alternative before Ms. Meng Yue recovers."
Everyone took the order and got busy. Xiaojie quickly contacted the headquarters, and the reply he received was that the location of the space-time rift had been locked, and it was located in an ancient forest that had been forgotten by the world, and that forest happened to be not far from the dense forest where they were now. Xiaoya and Lin Feng inadvertently triggered a hidden mechanism while studying the hourglass against time. The jade pendant emitted a faint green light, as if in response to their exploration. "It seems that the reverse hourglass is not unresponsive, but we have not found the correct way to open it before." Lin Feng happily said to Xiaoya, "As long as we find the corresponding trigger conditions, we should be able to start the reverse hourglass smoothly. "
Xia Jin also learned something after consulting a large number of ancient books and documents: "I found some records about the source crystal and the awakening of spiritual consciousness. The power of the source crystal is not used directly, but. It needs to be transformed through specific rituals or instruments. As for the awakening of spiritual consciousness, in addition to the rituals mentioned by Ms. Meng Yue, there is also a way to establish connection with one's own inner power through deep meditation. Although the effect may not be as significant as the ritual, it is. Under the current circumstances, it is a feasible option.”
Everyone summarized their research results and decided to act according to the new plan. They decided to first go to the ancient forest where the time and space rift is located to find the triggering conditions needed to activate the reverse time hourglass, and at the same time use meditation to try to awaken their spiritual consciousness. Once everything is ready, they can use the power of the hourglass to cross the time and space rift and enter the Lost City.
When they arrived at the edge of the ancient forest, the passers-by around them cast surprised glances. An old woodcutter stopped the ax in his hand, looked at these young people with supernatural powers, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, today's young people are really incredible, they dare to break into that cursed forest. It is said that it is a forbidden place for the gods. Ordinary people will lose their way and never find a way out."
Another young traveler showed envy: "The aura they exude is extraordinary. Ordinary, he must be an extraordinary person. If I can have that kind of power, why can't I travel around the world and see the wonders of the world?"
In the face of everyone's comments, Lin Feng and others did not pay attention. Stepping into the forest, we began a difficult exploration. The interior of the forest is indeed as strange as the legend. The light is dim and the fog is filled, making it difficult to discern the direction. However, with their extraordinary perception and wisdom, they gradually adapted to this environment, and with their efforts, the Counter-Time Hourglass gradually revealed more secrets.
One evening, they came to a mysterious lake deep in the forest. The lake is as green as jade, and there are several strange lotus flowers floating on the lake. Each lotus flower has a bright crystal inlaid in the center, which is the source crystal they are looking for. Just as they were about to take away the source crystal, the lake suddenly surged, and a huge aquatic monster broke out of the water, blocking their way.
"Is this the creature that protects the source crystal?" Xiaoya looked at the monster in front of her nervously, and the light of magic condensed in her hand.
Lin Feng clenched his sword tightly with a firm gaze: "No matter who the opponent is, they can't stop our determination to protect world peace. Xiaojie, Xia Jin, you protect yourselves and Yuan Jing, Xiaoya and I will come Deal with this monster."
A fierce battle began. Passersby by the lake stopped to watch, marveling at the bravery and strength of Lin Feng and others. Their words were full of awe and admiration, adding more drama and anticipation to this unknown adventure.
“Look, the young man with the sword, his swordsmanship is so superb, and every attack is so precise, it is really breathtaking.”
“And the girl who casts magic, It's incredible that her spells are so poetic that they can compete with the power of monsters."
"Although that boy is young, his healing skills can instantly heal the wounds of his companions. I really don't know where they learned these extraordinary skills."
The battle ended with Lin Feng and others winning. In the end, they successfully obtained the Source Crystal, and also won the admiration and praise of passers-by. They took the source crystal back to the edge of the forest and prepared to use the power of the counter-time hourglass to cross the rift in time and space.
Lin Feng held the jade pendant and said to everyone: "We are ready. As long as the hourglass is activated, we can travel through the rift in time and space and enter the Lost City. No matter what is waiting for us ahead, we We must all unite and face it together."
Xiaoya, Xia Jin and Xiaojie nodded, their eyes full of determination and expectation. Just as they were about to activate the reverse-time hourglass, a passerby hurried over and shouted in horror: "No! The people from the Shadow Alliance are chasing me! They have surrounded this forest!"
< br>Lin Feng and others looked stern. They knew that at this moment they not only had to face the unknown Lost City, but also had an inevitable decisive battle with the Shadow Alliance. They looked at each other, with perseverance and determination flashing in their eyes, and then turned their gazes to the hourglass in their hands.
"No matter what, we must stop the Shadow Alliance's conspiracy and protect the world." Lin Feng's words were loud and full of firmness and belief.
The expressions of Lin Feng and others suddenly changed. The sudden appearance of the Shadow Alliance undoubtedly disrupted their original plans. They originally planned to use the reverse time hourglass to travel through the rift in time and space to find the lost city, hoping to awaken spiritual consciousness and obtain the source crystal, thereby stopping the evil conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance. However, the enemy's approach now forced them to readjust their strategy.
"Xiaojie, you immediately activate the counter-clockwise hourglass. We must enter the Lost City as soon as possible." Lin Feng ordered decisively, with an unquestionable sense of urgency in his voice.
Xiaojie responded. He took a deep breath, held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and silently recited the spell to activate the hourglass in reverse time. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the surge of this mysterious power, and the gems inlaid on the counterclockwise hourglass lit up one by one, releasing dazzling light. However, at this critical moment, a black energy arrow suddenly shot from the depths of the jungle, pointing directly at the hourglass in Xiaojie's hand.
"Be careful!" Lin Feng had quick eyes and quick hands. He drew out his long sword in an instant, the sword glowed with a blue light, and slashed in the air, smashing the arrow into pieces. However, this interference interrupted the starting process of the counter-clockwise hourglass, and the light of the jade pendant dimmed, as if it had lost its power.
"Damn it!" Lin Feng cursed angrily, turning his head to look into the depths of the forest, his eyes flashing with cold murderous intent. He knew that they had no time to activate the counter-time hourglass at this time, and they had to deal with the threat of the Shadow Alliance first.
"Xiaoya, Xia Jin, protect Xiaojie and Yuan Jing, I will lure them away." Lin Feng roared, and rushed out like a cheetah, heading straight for the Alliance of Shadows. . Xiaoya and Xia Jin immediately protected Xiaojie, and the three figures quickly disappeared into the shadows of the forest.
Lin Feng faced the pursuers of the Shadow Alliance alone. His figure was strong and his sword danced like a dragon. Each slash could accurately cut off the enemy's attack and cause fatal damage at the same time. The members of the Shadow Alliance obviously did not expect that he would come to challenge alone. After a brief period of confusion, they quickly adjusted their formation and tried to besiege Lin Feng.
