Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

The group walked cautiously along the mountain path. The moonlight shone through the sparse trees and cast mottled shadows on the ground. At this moment, Li Feng suddenly stopped and said palely: "Wait... I smell blood."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes, wielding a sharp dagger, and went straight for Lin Feng who was walking in the front. Lin Feng reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and slashed down with the long sword in his hand, forcing the black shadow to retreat a few steps. With the weak light, they found that it was an assassin wearing black clothes and with a hideous smile on his face.

"How dare you come here!" The man in black laughed coldly, "This is our territory. None of you will leave alive today!"

"Everyone, come together!" Feng Lie roared, and rushed towards the assassin first. A fierce melee broke out instantly.

However, in the brief chaos, several figures appeared silently around the team, and an encirclement was quietly formed. These enemies were all dressed the same - black suits and masks, obviously professionally trained assassins. Facing the sudden enemy, although everyone tried their best to deal with it, it still seemed a bit difficult.

"Quick, protect yourself, don't separate!" Yueying's voice rang out in the battle, her hands quickly formed seals, a ray of light suddenly lit up, and forced the nearby enemies back. Despite this, the look on her face became more solemn, "These guys are not simple, we must leave this place quickly!"

Just when everyone thought they were about to escape, the ground suddenly shook, countless traps were triggered, and sharp blades flew from all directions. Feng Lie stepped forward to protect Su Yu and blocked the fatal attack with his body; on the other side, Li Feng also quickly evaded and counterattacked the enemy in front of him. Although everyone showed extraordinary courage and strength, the large number of enemies and the fierce offensive made the situation precarious.

Just when everyone was about to fall into despair, a chilling laugh came from not far away. A mysterious figure wrapped in a dark robe slowly walked out of the shadows, his eyes as cold as the stars. "Are you finally here? It's an honor, my dear guests." The man laughed grimly, "I have been preparing for this feast for a long time."

Hearing the provocative words from the other party, Lin Feng's anger completely exploded. "No matter who you are, don't even think about attacking us again!" He roared and rushed towards the man with his sword. Unexpectedly, the next moment, an invisible barrier seemed to appear in the air, blocking his attack. Then, the surrounding enemies launched another offensive, forcing him to return to defense.

A strange arc appeared on the corner of the mysterious man's mouth: "Hahaha... Do you think you can easily defeat me?" After saying that, he glanced at the people who were struggling to resist with contempt, "The Nine-Colored Lotus belongs to me, no one can take it away easily! And you will become the best witnesses of this game..." As the last word fell, the surroundings were suddenly filled with thick purple gas...

"Ahem...what's going on?!" Xueqi felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing. "Oh no, everyone, cover your noses quickly!"

"Hold your breath!" Li Feng shouted anxiously.

Lin Feng reacted quickly, covering his mouth and nose while swinging his sword to cut through a patch of purple gas, trying to buy some breathing space for himself and his companions. "Quick, everyone, gather around me!" he shouted, his eyes full of vigilance.

Yueying immediately cast a barrier to envelop everyone, temporarily isolating the poisonous gas from the outside. She frowned, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes: "We must find a way out quickly, the mechanism here is more complicated than we imagined."

"Who are these guys?" Xueqi asked gritting her teeth, her body trembling slightly from the battle just now.

The mysterious man sneered and slowly walked a few steps closer. "I am the master of this area, the guardian of the Demon Sect - Night Demon." His voice was filled with an indescribable evil spirit, "You have to pay the price for trespassing into my territory."

Lin Feng stared at Ye Fu, his eyes like burning flames. "The Nine-Colored Lotus is extremely important to us, we will not back down!"

Ye Fu sneered, raised his hands and waved them gently. Countless black figures suddenly appeared around them, surrounding them like a tide. "Then let's give it a try. Let's see who is the final winner!"

Suddenly, the drums of war sounded again. The two sides started a fierce battle. Lin Feng took the lead, his long sword flashing with silver light, moving freely among the crowd, and every blow was accompanied by blood splashing. Feng Lie was like a violent beast, and the huge hammer in his hand was like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, beating the black-clothed men into a mess. Li Feng's figure was erratic, his body movements were strange and changeable, and the dagger in his hand was shining with cold light, accurately stabbing the enemy's vital points. Xue Qi responded calmly, and every move of her long sword was both offensive and defensive, with both thunderous momentum and delicate and clever features.

However, the enemy was too numerous, and even though they had tried their best, they could not completely stop all the attacks. Gradually, some people in the team began to get injured, and some even fell to the ground. The air was filled with a bloody smell, and the scene became extremely tragic.

Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out from Night Fury. He seemed to have turned into the god of death in the dark night, surrounded by inky black energy. "In that case, I will personally send you off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Sha waved his hand, and a huge energy shock wave swept out, directly hitting the position where Lin Feng and others were. Although Lin Feng and others tried their best to resist, they were still shocked and retreated one after another, and many people vomited blood on the spot.

"Everyone be careful, this guy is not an ordinary person!" Li Feng warned breathlessly, but his voice also seemed a little weak. One of his arms was seriously injured and blood was constantly flowing out.

The Night Fury walked forward slowly, amusement in his eyes. "It seems that you are already at the end of your strength. Just surrender obediently, and perhaps you can suffer less."

Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. "As long as we are still alive, we will never give up!"

Yueying stepped forward at this time, her eyes full of determination. "I will do my best to hold him back and buy you some time." After that, she quickly formed seals with both hands, and a bright light rose from her palms, gradually spreading out, forming a huge light shield that bound dozens of enemies around.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Feng shouted loudly: "Everyone follow me, and escape as soon as you find an exit!"

Several people immediately followed in tacit understanding, passing through the chaotic crowd and rushing towards the nearest cave. Just as they were about to break out of the siege, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard. A dark red arrow shot out from the darkness and went straight to Lin Feng's heart.

At the critical moment, Yueying rushed forward and blocked the fatal arrow with her body. Her face was pale and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth. "Go quickly... Don't come back..."

Lin Feng's heart tightened instantly, but he didn't have time to hesitate. He pulled Su Yu and Li Feng up and ran forward desperately. "Yueying...you must hold on!"

Finally, they broke out of the Night Fury's encirclement and entered a dense forest. It was silent all around except for their rapid breathing and footsteps.

After taking a breath, Lin Feng turned to look at Su Yu and Li Feng, his eyes filled with anxiety and anger. "We must find a way to not let Yueying die in vain."

Li Feng nodded, his face full of pain and determination: "That's right, we can't just sit there and wait for death. The Nine-Colored Lotus must be on that mountain. As long as we find it, maybe there is still hope..."

"But how can we deal with so many enemies? And that guardian is no pushover." Su Yu's voice was a little choked. At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had made some kind of decision. "Don't worry, as long as you don't give up, you will always find a breakthrough. The most important thing for us now is to rest and make a new plan."

"By the way, I remember you mentioned some special method to get into the center of the forbidden area," Xueqi said as if she suddenly remembered something, "If we can sneak in directly..."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Yes, this is our only chance. No matter what, we must get the Nine-Colored Lotus!"

Li Feng patted Lin Feng's shoulder, with a warm light in his eyes. "With us here, you won't be alone. Let's work hard together!"

The three of them smiled at each other. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, they all had the same goal in their hearts - to overcome it all.

The forest under the night sky seemed even darker, and the roars of monsters could be heard occasionally in the distance, as if telling them that this was a life-and-death game with no turning back. But they knew that for the persistence and faith in their hearts, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would not easily stop moving forward...

Lin Feng murmured in a low voice: "I will carefully study the marks on the map later and find the best route to enter the depths of the Demon Sect..."

"Well," Su Yu responded softly, "I believe that as long as we work together, we can always find a glimmer of hope..."

They continued to move forward, taking every step very carefully, fearing that they would cause more trouble. However, what was waiting for them ahead was still a mystery...

The night was as dark as ink, and every leaf in the forest seemed to be swallowed by the darkness. Lin Feng, Su Yu and Li Feng moved forward cautiously, alert to any movement around them. Just when they thought they were temporarily safe, a deafening noise suddenly came from the distance.

"Oh no, the enemy is chasing us!" Lin Feng stopped suddenly and shouted in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, countless black shadows suddenly emerged from the woods ahead and rushed towards them like a tide. The eyes of these men in black exuded a fierce light, and the cold and flashing swords in their hands were particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

Lin Feng took the lead, sword in hand, eyes blazing. "Su Yu, you and Li Feng, evacuate as soon as possible! I'll hold them back!"

"No, I can't let you face so many enemies alone!" Su Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said firmly.

Li Feng also clenched his weapon tightly, with a bitter smile on his face: "Now is the time to tide over the difficulties together. We will not abandon you and run away alone."

The three of them had made up their minds and immediately formed a battle formation, ready to meet the enemy's fierce attack. However, at this moment, a shrill scream pierced the night sky, and then the ground shook violently, countless traps were triggered, and blades and mechanisms shot out at a rapid speed.

Lin Feng quickly swung his sword, forming a sword light barrier to block the incoming attack. "Let's go, it's too dangerous here!" He shouted loudly, his voice full of anxiety.

Just as they were preparing to continue their breakout, they suddenly heard a little girl's voice not far away: "Huh? So many people beating up three kids?"

Everyone was stunned and looked back. They saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old walking out of the woods. She was wearing a strange ancient costume, her face was pale, and there was an indescribable weirdness in her eyes.

Lin Feng felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down: "Little girl, this is a dangerous area, please leave quickly."

The little girl didn't seem to listen to his advice. Instead, she tilted her head and looked at them with a strange smile on her face. "You are going to look for the Nine-Colored Lotus, right? I can help you."

Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "Why do you know the Nine-Colored Lotus? Who are you?"

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you pass through this area smoothly.” The little girl’s eyes flashed with a cunning light. “However, in exchange, you have to help me complete one thing.”

"What conditions?" Lin Feng asked cautiously.

The little girl chuckled and said, "I want you to get me an ancient jade pendant. It's hidden in the ruins nearby."

"Is the jade pendant important?" Li Feng asked doubtfully.

The little girl nodded, and said mysteriously, "It's very important. If you take the jade pendant, I can guarantee that you will be safe on the journey. If you don't want to..." Her eyes suddenly became cold, and a chill filled the air, "Then wait to greet death."

Facing such a direct threat from the little girl, Lin Feng frowned. He knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he could only nod and agree: "Okay, we will help you get the jade pendant."

The little girl smiled with satisfaction: "Then follow me, time is running out."

She turned around, and her figure slid silently like a ghost. The three followed closely behind, secretly alert. Along the way, the little girl cleverly avoided all traps and enemies, led them through several hidden paths, and finally came to a dilapidated ruin.

"The jade pendant is right there." The little girl pointed to the front, where there was a half-collapsed stone temple, surrounded by cobwebs and dust.

"Okay, let's go take a look." Lin Feng said, while observing the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that something unexpected would happen. (End of this chapter)
