The three of them entered the stone palace and found that the interior had been abandoned for many years, with only sporadic light coming through the gaps. They searched in the darkness and finally found a jade pendant embedded in a broken wall.
"Found it!" Li Feng shouted excitedly, reaching for the jade pendant.
At this moment, a low and terrifying voice came from the depths of the ruins: "Stupid children, you have fallen into a trap!"
Along with this sound, the entire stone palace suddenly began to shake violently, the stone walls collapsed, and countless magical beasts and monsters came from all directions.
"Oops, run away!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, pulled Su Yu up, and the three of them ran out as hard as they could.
But the little girl stood still, with a trace of amusement flashing in her eyes: "It seems that the game has just begun. Enjoy this journey!"
The three of them rushed out of the ruins, with a group of vicious enemies chasing after them. Lin Feng angrily shouted as he ran: "That little girl is indeed an accomplice of the enemy!"
"We must get rid of them quickly, otherwise there will be no way to escape." Su Yu said anxiously.
Just when he was desperate, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the previous chapter outline: "I know there is a secret path that can lead to the hinterland of the Demon Sect. Maybe I can avoid the pursuers."
Li Feng gasped and nodded: "Then hurry up and get there! We don't have any more time to waste."
The three of them gritted their teeth and ran away in the direction pointed out by Lin Feng. The enemies behind them were still hot on their heels, but they remained unwavering and focused on finding a new path of hope.
Finally, they found the entrance in a dense forest. Not long after they stepped into the secret passage, they heard the sound of slight footsteps. The three of them stopped and stood back to back, watching their surroundings.
"Who is there?" Lin Feng said sharply.
A small figure slowly walked out of the darkness, still the weird little girl from before. "Don't worry, I mean no harm."
Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "What are your intentions?"
The little girl smiled faintly: "I am one of the guardians here, responsible for testing the will of intruders. Since you can pass this series of challenges, it means that you do have certain qualifications."
Although Lin Feng had some doubts in his heart, he also knew that he could only choose to trust at this moment: "Then can you help us find the Nine-Colored Lotus?"
The little girl nodded slightly: "I can guide you in the direction, but everything that follows still depends on your own performance. Remember, courage and wisdom are your only reliance."
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the darkness again. The three of them looked at each other, and although they were still uneasy in their hearts, they decided to move forward firmly.
"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will get to the end!" Lin Feng held the jade pendant in his hand tightly, with a determined look in his eyes.
"Let's work hard together for victory!" Su Yu and Li Feng responded in unison, and the three of them once again embarked on an unknown road.
Just as the three of them were about to move forward along the secret passage, they heard heavy footsteps and chaotic roars from behind. It was obvious that the monsters and enemies had already chased them into the woods.
"They are following!" Li Feng whispered nervously, while clenching the weapon in his hand.
Lin Feng quickly scanned the surroundings, "The terrain here is complicated, and we should be able to find a suitable counterattack point. Su Yu, lead the way; Li Feng, cover the rear. Get ready to fight!"
Before he finished speaking, a group of men in black and various strange monsters emerged from the trees and approached them menacingly. The air was filled with a thick murderous aura, which made people tremble with fear.
"Follow me!" Su Yu shouted in a deep voice, and took the lead in running towards the depths of the dense forest. Lin Feng and Li Feng followed closely behind, turning back from time to time to wave their swords to resist the enemy's offensive. Several people fought and retreated, using complex methods to
The terrain temporarily threw the pursuers away for a certain distance.
Suddenly, a steep mountain wall appeared in front of him. There seemed to be no way to retreat. Just when Lin Feng was considering whether to forcefully climb over, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, forming a hidden cave. The three people reacted quickly and jumped in.
And conveniently sealed the entrance.
"Huh...it's safe for now." Li Feng said with heavy breathing.
However, the good times did not last long. Within a few minutes, strong vibrations were heard from the ground again - the pursuers apparently also discovered this tunnel.
"It seems we have to act as soon as possible." Lin Feng frowned and looked around, "This place looks like it was dug by humans. Maybe there is some mechanism that can help us get out of danger quickly?"
Su Yu nodded, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and suddenly noticed the faint flashing words on a stone tablet not far away: "Look at this, it seems to be a reminder."
The three people gathered in front of the stone tablet and carefully read the information engraved on it. They saw that it read: "Only those with pure souls can pass the trial and gain a way to the hinterland of the Demon Realm."
Just as they were discussing how to deal with it, a weak but extremely pleasant voice came: "Hey, you three look like you are in trouble? Maybe I can help~"
When they looked up, they saw an elf rabbit wearing a green cloak and long ears sitting on a stone, staring at them with dripping eyes.
"You...who are you?" Li Feng looked at this unusual little creature in surprise.
The elf rabbit smiled slightly: "You can call me the spirit rabbit. I am one of the guardian spirit beasts in the forest in this area. But, if you want my help... you need to pass a small game!"
Lin Feng immediately understood what she meant: "In other words, as long as we win this game, we can get a way to leave, right?"
"Smart children are always easy to deal with." Lingtu clapped his little hands in agreement, "Then the question will be much simpler - next I will give you three a riddle. If you answer it, you can get the passage to the lower level.
map fragments. It failed... Hehe, you should understand the consequences, right?"
The three of them exchanged glances, and finally the quick-thinking Su Yu stood up: "No problem, what is your puzzle?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Spirit Rabbit blinked, then cleared its throat and said: "Listen up - it starts at sunrise and rests at midnight; it is neither made by humans nor human.
Something that is not naturally occurring, what is it?”
After listening to this question, the people present immediately fell into a state of thinking. At this time, there was another noisy sound outside, and it was obvious that the pursuers were about to catch up here.
Time is running out, and we must quickly come up with an answer. Lin Feng's mind is working quickly...
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning. "I know!" He announced the answer loudly, "This refers to the shadow, right? It appears with our actions during the day, and disappears at night because there is no light source; it is not an entity.
Existence follows closely behind every living thing."
Hearing this, Lingtu's eyes lit up: "Uh-huh...you actually answered it. Okay, okay, in this case, this map leading to the deep tunnel belongs to you." He handed it over to you.
The three of them were given a fragment of a map that looked ancient but shone with a strange light.
After receiving the map, everyone felt a lot more relieved. "Thank you, Lingtu." Lin Feng expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"You're welcome, I wish you all good luck!" As a burst of laughter sounded like silver bells, the mysterious and cute little creature disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Let's get out of here quickly before they come looking for us," Li Feng reminded.
Following the route guidance provided by Lingtu, they finally successfully found a secret underground passage that was hidden deeply and was never easy to find. As they stepped into it, they could still vaguely hear the roar of the searchers coming from above, and couldn't help but wonder.
It makes people sweat.
After passing through the dark, narrow and slightly damp road, after countless turns left and right, the view suddenly opened up. The sun shone through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves on the moist green grass, and the air was particularly fresh and pleasant.
Just as the three of them were about to take a short rest, they suddenly heard something strange happening around them, and they involuntarily drew their swords to warn them. "Oh no... don't be so nervous~" The voice sounded again, and it was still the weird little girl they had met before.
appearance.
Su Yu stepped forward and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to help us but create so many difficulties for us?"
The girl smiled faintly and did not answer the question directly. Instead, she stretched out her hand and stroked an inconspicuous plant next to her: "Remember my words - courage and wisdom are always the most powerful and precious weapons. No matter what the situation is,
Don’t give up hope easily no matter what hardships you face, if you persist you will always succeed.”
After that, she blended into the surrounding environment again and lost her trace. Lin Feng and others looked at each other in silence for a long time, until finally Su Yu was the first to break the silence: "No matter what... let's move on!"
"That's right!" Li Feng nodded vigorously, "No matter how many unknown challenges there are in the future, we will face them together and solve them."
Looking at the new journey ahead that is full of countless variables but also contains infinite possibilities, the group finally showed their long-lost relaxed and joyful smiles after many hardships. However, this tranquil beauty was soon broken by the more difficult tasks that followed...
The little girl's words are still echoing in her ears: "Remember, courage and wisdom are the key...The next step is where your willpower will really be tested..."
The three of them continued to move forward along the newly discovered underground passage, feeling a bit nervous and excited. This secret tunnel obviously led to a more mysterious place, perhaps the legendary hinterland of the Demon Realm. The environment along the way gradually became more and more...
It was a dangerous place, surrounded by various traps and traps, but thanks to the guidance from the map fragments given by the spirit rabbit, they successfully avoided a lot of trouble.
"This place is getting more and more chilling." Li Feng said in a low voice while being wary of any threats that might appear around him.
"Indeed." Lin Feng nodded in response, "But we must find the secret ritual location for teleporting monsters as soon as possible. According to intelligence, that is the key for cultists to perform evil rituals and summon unknown creatures."
Su Yu walked in front of the team, holding a sharp sword to explore the road: "We have gone very far. According to the map, we should be there soon, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge empty cave suddenly appeared in front of him. Countless stalactites hung from the top of the cave, and the whole space was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. In the dim center, stood a beautifully carved altar.
There were several figures of men in black robes scattered around, performing some kind of strange and ancient ritual.
The three exchanged glances and took action immediately: using terrain cover to slowly move closer to the target. When they got close enough, they clearly heard a strange whisper like a curse and strange fluctuations in the air - all of this
They are all reminding them that time is running out and they must stop this!
However, just as they were about to take action, one of the warlocks who looked like the leader suddenly opened his eyes and looked in their direction. "There are intruders!" As he shouted angrily, everyone's attention was attracted.
come over.
"No, it's exposed!" Li Feng cursed in a low voice, and then rushed out of the hiding spot to attack to gain more time for his companions to react. "Let's fight separately and fight quickly!"
Lin Feng followed closely and met several approaching enemies; while Su Yu went straight to the key figure at the core who was guiding the ceremony.
Suddenly, the entire underground cave was filled with the sound of fighting and the roar of spells. Under the light of swords, the three warriors were seen using their best to deal with their opponents. Although they had the upper hand for a while, they were at an absolute disadvantage due to their numbers.
, the situation is becoming more and more critical.
"Go and stop them! Don't let them interfere with the great plan!" the cult leader roared and commanded his men to block the path of the three heroes.
"Su Yu, be careful behind you!" Just when the opponent was about to reach the dawn of victory, Lin Feng, who was fighting fiercely on the side, suddenly issued a warning.
The moment she turned around and looked back, she found that a skilled assassin appeared silently behind her and raised a sharp short blade in an attempt to attack. At the critical moment, she relied on keen intuition to barely avoid the fatal injury area, but was severely cut.
arm.
"Damn it..." Covering the wound and gritting his teeth to hold on to his shaky body, everyone involuntarily stopped their movements. "You shameless people actually want to sacrifice countless innocent lives to awaken the devil in exchange for your own power? It's really too much.
Disgusting!”
"Humph, how can ignorant people understand the true meaning?" the cult leader replied mockingly. "But now that you are here, don't leave - join the great sacrifice! Become a part of the eternal sacrifice at the foot of the Dark Throne.
!”
At this moment, this life-and-death moment actually aroused the unyielding fighting spirit deep in his heart. Su Yu struggled to stand up: "Delusions! Even if I have my last breath, I will try my best to crush your crazy conspiracy!"
Seeing this, Li Feng immediately threw away the last enemy beside him who had lost combat power and rushed here to support him: "Come on, boss, let's fight to the end together! No matter what the outcome, we must bring justice into this place shrouded in shadow!"
