The group quickly crossed the fields outside the town and headed toward Lingshan Mountain in the southeast. During the journey, Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng looked back at Xue Qi from time to time to ensure that she kept up with the team's speed.
"How do you feel?" Li Feng asked with concern. He noticed that Xue Qi's steps staggered a little.
"It's okay, I can still persist." Xue Qi forced a smile, but her pale face said everything.
"Don't be brave, we have to find the 'Nine-Colored Lotus' quickly." Zhao Yunlong added.
Just when a few people were about to move on, suddenly, a shadow passed across the sky. Everyone immediately became vigilant and looked up, only to see a group of huge flying beasts hovering in the sky. The one headed by it was even more huge, with its whole body
Wearing strange armor, it exudes an extraordinary aura.
"It's someone from outside the world!" Lin Feng shouted sternly, and drew his sword into the air.
"Everyone, be careful, this may be the enemy's reconnaissance force!" Zhao Yunlong also quickly drew out his two swords and prepared for battle.
The group of flying beasts gradually approached, and the leader swooped down suddenly, aiming directly at Xue Qi. Seeing this, Lin Feng and Li Feng rushed forward quickly, waving their weapons to block the flying beasts' attack. For a moment, the air was filled with
There was the sound of metal collision and fierce roar.
"Quick! Take Xue Qi and retreat!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, but he blocked the front without hesitation.
"Okay!" Li Feng responded, picked up the weak Xue Qi and backed away quickly.
At this moment, more flying beasts joined the battle, and the encirclement quickly tightened. Lin Feng and Zhao Yunlong fought hard, but the number and strength of the enemy far exceeded expectations, and the situation became increasingly critical.
"This can't continue like this!" Zhao Yunlong gasped, "We must find a way to break out!"
"Listen to me, you go first!" Lin Feng ordered decisively, "I'll take the lead!"
"No! Let's go together!" Li Feng retorted, but Xue Qi in his arms made a weak voice: "Don't... don't drag... dragging everyone down... hurry up... leave quickly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield. He was wearing silver-white armor and holding a huge ax that shone with cold light. His eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness.
"So here it is!" the stranger snorted coldly, looking across the battlefield, "Hand over that human woman, and I will spare your life."
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't even think about it! We will defeat you!"
However, the combined attacks of several people failed to injure the opponent at all. The strange warrior was as stable as a rock.
"Stupid!" the stranger sneered. He swung the giant ax violently, and the powerful force set off a gust of wind, which almost blew Lin Feng and others away.
"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late!" Zhao Yunlong shouted and forcibly grabbed Li Feng and Lin Feng who wanted to continue fighting. The three of them hugged Xue Qi and fled deep into the forest with all their strength.
A stranger's roar came from behind, and countless flying beasts chased after them. The four people jumped between the woods, using the complex terrain to try their best to get rid of the pursuers. Finally, under the cover of a dense forest, they found a
Hidden little caves for temporary refuge.
"Is it safe here?" Li Feng gasped and asked, gently putting Xue Qi down.
"Take a breath first before talking." Lin Feng wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked back, "At least they won't be able to find this place for a while."
Xue Qi opened her eyes slightly and showed a grateful smile, "Thank you... thank you..."
"You're welcome." Lin Feng caressed her cheek, "We will save you."
The howls of flying beasts could be heard outside, as if they were still searching for their traces.
"We must find the 'Nine-Colored Lotus' as soon as possible." Zhao Yunlong said seriously, "And we must avoid the eyes and ears of outsiders. We can't let them seize the opportunity like today."
"Then let's go quickly." Lin Feng said firmly, "We must make those guys pay the price!"
Several people rearranged their equipment and carefully left the hiding place. The sun shone on them through the gaps in the woods, bringing a touch of warmth and strengthening their determination to move forward.
"We must find the antidote and save Xue Qi no matter what!" Li Feng clenched his fists and said.
"Yes," Zhao Yunlong nodded in agreement, "Also, we cannot let them continue to harm this land."
Lin Feng looked into the distance with firm eyes, "Let's go, there will be more challenges waiting for us on the road ahead."
In this way, the four partners once again embarked on an unknown journey. Their footsteps were unswerving, heading towards the legendary spiritual mountain to meet the new wave of challenges that were coming.
At night, they rested temporarily by a remote river and lit a bonfire to keep warm. Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng took turns keeping watch, while Lin Feng stayed with Xue Qi to protect her safety.
"We will definitely find the 'Nine-Colored Lotus'." Li Feng whispered to himself in the night sky, as if he was encouraging himself and cheering up his teammates.
"Yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will overcome it together." Zhao Yunlong agreed from the side.
And Lin Feng gently touched Xue Qi's face and whispered: "I will definitely find it, I will definitely..."
The night wind blew slowly and the bonfire swayed, but the hearts of the four adventurers became more determined, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
As the night got darker, the four of them sat around a bonfire by the river, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. Zhao Yunlong was about to hand over the duty of keeping watch to Li Feng when he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.
"Do you feel something is wrong?" Zhao Yunlong said alertly, looking up at the dark woods around him.
Lin Feng also noticed it. His hand slowly tightened his grip on the sword, "It's indeed a bit strange. I feel like something is approaching."
Li Feng and Xue Qi also became nervous. Xue Qi barely supported her body, her eyes locked in the darkness.
At this time, a low murmur came from not far away, as if there was some ancient language singing. Several people quickly stood up and looked around cautiously, trying to find the source of the sound.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who is it?" Li Feng shouted, the weapon in his hand ready to deal with any sudden danger.
What responded to them was an eerie silence, but the sound continued, as if it was getting closer and closer. Then, they found a simple oil lamp flickering faintly on a boulder by the river.
"What is this? Why are you here?" Lin Feng asked with a frown, slowly stepping forward and approaching the oil lamp.
The oil lamp exuded a soft and mysterious light, as if it contained some kind of powerful power. The moment Lin Feng reached out to touch it, the light of the oil lamp suddenly surged, and the dazzling white light made everyone close their eyes.
When the light gradually faded, a twisted figure appeared in front of everyone - a demon with black gas all over his body. His eyes were full of greed and murderous intent, which made people shudder.
"What place is this?" the devil asked in a low and hoarse voice, "How dare you disturb my sleep?"
Lin Feng immediately pulled out his long sword and stood in front of everyone, "We have no intention of disturbing you, so leave here immediately!"
The devil sneered, "Stupid humans, since you have broken into my domain, you must be prepared to pay the price!"
As he spoke, the demon waved his arms, and the surrounding trees were twisted by the power of darkness, turning into sharp vines and attacking several people. Several vines instantly entangled the hands and feet of Li Feng and Zhao Yunlong, causing them to
Hard to move.
"Get away!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, swinging his long sword to cut off several approaching vines. But he soon realized that the number of these vines far exceeded their ability to cope.
"Everyone, be careful, this thing is very difficult to deal with!" Li Feng reminded, struggling, trying to break free.
Xue Qi stood aside weakly. Although she could not fight, the light in her eyes did not weaken, "Don't let him take away the oil lamp!"
Hearing Xue Qi's words, Lin Feng immediately understood and turned around to rush towards the ancient oil lamp. However, the devil was already prepared, and a strong dark energy hit Lin Feng directly. He could only dodge hastily and almost lost his balance.
"Hmph, you still want to seize my treasure?" The devil grinned and approached step by step, and the dark power around him became more solemn.
"Let's go together!" Zhao Yunlong finally broke free, brandishing his two swords and charging towards the devil together with Li Feng.
The three of them worked closely together, but the devil's strength was far beyond their imagination. The dark vines seemed to be alive, constantly regenerating, forcing the three of them to have nowhere to hide.
Just as the situation became increasingly critical, Xue Qi forced herself up and slowly walked towards the oil lamp. "Let me try." She whispered, stretching out her slender fingers to gently touch the oil lamp.
Suddenly, the light of the oil lamp changed wonderfully, from soft to dazzling, and a warm and pure power surged out of it. This power penetrated the darkness and hit the devil's heart directly.
"Ah!" The devil screamed, and his black body began to tremble violently.
"Now is the opportunity!" Lin Feng seized this moment, rushed forward, and struck the demon with his long sword with the sound of breaking wind. Li Feng and Zhao Yunlong launched attacks at the same time, and the weapons of the three hit the demon together.
head body.
The demon let out an earth-shattering roar, and the power of darkness began to dissipate. Finally, with the last roar, the demon turned into a plume of black smoke and disappeared into the air.
Several people were breathing heavily and their bodies were covered with sweat. The oil lamp gave off a warm light, which seemed to bring them hope.
"You did a good job, Xue Qi." Lin Feng walked to Xue Qi and gently supported her.
"I'm just... trying to feel its power." Xue Qi smiled, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
"We can't delay any longer." Zhao Yunlong reminded, "Hurry up and find the Nine Color Lotus before dawn."
Li Feng nodded in agreement, "Let's go, the next road may be more difficult."
Lin Feng held the oil lamp and felt a strange power flowing in his hand, "With this, it may help us better resist unknown dangers."
The four of them dressed up again and set off, walking through the dark forest and heading towards Lingshan Mountain. On the path at night, their steps became firmer and they held new hope in their hearts.
"You will definitely find it, right?" Li Feng said softly to the front, as if to cheer himself up.
"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 smiled slightly and looked at Xue Qi beside him with gentle eyes.
Xue Qi's eyes were equally bright and firm. Although her body was still weak, her heart was stronger than ever.
"Let's move forward together." Lin Feng finally said, and the four figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The night was dark, and the cold wind in the forest gradually became biting. The four of them quickened their pace, passing through the dense trees, and headed towards Lingshan. Their goal was getting closer, but the road ahead became increasingly dangerous.
"How long will it take for us to reach Lingshan?" Li Feng asked as he walked. He looked around cautiously from time to time, for fear of another accident.
Zhao Yunlong took out a simple map and said, "If everything goes well, we will be able to see Lingshan Mountain in about half an hour's walk. But the terrain here is very complicated, so we need to be particularly careful."
Xue Qi gritted her teeth and tried to keep up with the pace of the three of them. Although she was exhausted, her eyes were still full of perseverance. "I'm fine, let's keep moving forward."
Lin Feng gently hugged her shoulders and said softly: "Let's rest for a while, it seems safe here." After saying that, he sat down under a big tree, took out a piece of dry food and handed it to Xue Qi,
"Eat something to replenish your strength."
Several people sat around under the tree and shared some dry food and water. Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng took turns observing the surrounding situation to ensure that there were no potential threats.
Suddenly, a strange sound broke the silence. Several people immediately stood up and scanned the surroundings with alert eyes.
"That voice again?" Li Feng frowned and pulled out his long sword.
Lin Feng clenched the oil lamp in his hand, feeling that the warm and pure power seemed to be responding to something, "It seems that it is not just a simple defensive weapon for us."
Zhao Yunlong quickly walked to Lin Feng's side, "No matter what, we cannot let this power fall into the hands of evil people."
At this moment, several black figures appeared in the woods. They were holding sharp weapons and had fierce eyes. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.
"It seems we are being targeted." Zhao Yunlong said coldly, waving his two swords in a defensive posture.
A man in black at the head sneered, "You have a lot of treasures on you, right? Hand them all over and we will spare your lives!"
"Dream!" Li Feng shouted angrily and rushed towards the enemy first.
The two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle. Zhao Yunlong flexibly waved his swords to resist the attacks of many enemies; Li Feng attacked with his fast sword and kept pushing back his opponents. Lin Feng protected Xue Qi, while dealing with the enemies, while paying attention to protecting the oil lamp from damage.
.
The battle was extremely fierce. The enemies were not only numerous in number, but also powerful. Several people gradually felt that they were powerless, and the situation became increasingly critical.
At this critical moment, a familiar figure appeared on the battlefield. She was wearing a white dress and holding a staff with a soft light in her hand. She was the female Taoist priest Su Yu who had helped them before.
"Friends, I'm here to help you!" Su Yu recited the incantation softly, and the light at the top of the staff became more intense.
