Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

The three entered the stone hall and found that it had been abandoned for many years, with only sporadic light coming in from the cracks. They searched in the dim light and finally found a jade pendant embedded in a broken wall.

"Found it!" Li Feng shouted excitedly and reached out to take the jade pendant.

At this moment, a deep and terrifying voice came from the depths of the ruins: "Foolish children, you have fallen into the trap!"

Along with this sound, the entire stone hall suddenly began to shake violently, the stone walls collapsed, and countless demon beasts and monsters rushed in from all directions.

"Oh no, run!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, pulled Su Yu up, and the three of them ran out desperately.

The little girl stood still, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes: "It seems that the game has just begun. Enjoy this journey!"

The three rushed out of the ruins, and behind them was a group of vicious enemies chasing them. Lin Feng ran and shouted: "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 in despair, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the previous chapter mark: "I know there is a secret path that leads to the heart of the Demon Sect, maybe I can avoid the pursuers."

Li Feng panted and nodded: "Then let's go quickly! We don't have any more time to waste."

The three of them gritted their teeth and ran as fast as they could in the direction pointed out by Lin Feng. The enemies behind them were still chasing them, but they did not waver, and were determined to find a new path of hope.

Finally, they found the entrance in a dense forest. Not long after they entered the secret passage, they heard a slight sound of footsteps. The three of them stopped and stood back to back, alertly looking around.

"Who's there?" Lin Feng asked sternly.

A small figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was still the strange little girl from before. "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."

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 are indeed qualified."

Although Lin Feng had some doubts in his heart, he 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 give you guidance, but everything that follows 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, they decided to move forward firmly.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must go to the end!" Lin Feng tightly grasped the jade pendant in his hand, with a determined look in his eyes.

"Let's work together for victory!" Su Yu and Li Feng responded in unison, and the three of them set out on an unknown road again.

Just as the three 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 us!" Li Feng whispered nervously, while tightening his weapon in his hand.

Lin Feng quickly glanced around, "The terrain here is complicated, and we should be able to find a suitable counterattack point. Su Yu, you lead the way; Li Feng, you cover the rear. Get ready for battle!"

Before he finished speaking, a group of men in black and various strange-looking monsters emerged from the bushes and approached them aggressively. 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 to run into 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 attack. Several people fought and retreated at the same time, using the complex terrain to temporarily throw off the pursuers for a distance.

Suddenly, a steep cliff appeared in front of them, and it seemed that there was no way back. Just as Lin Feng was considering whether to force his way over, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, forming a hidden cave. The three of them reacted quickly, jumped in, and sealed the entrance.

"Huh... safe for now." Li Feng said, panting.

However, the good times did not last long. After a few minutes, the ground began to shake violently again - the pursuers had apparently also discovered the tunnel.

"It seems we have to act quickly." Lin Feng frowned and looked around. "This place looks like it was dug by humans. Maybe there is some mechanism that can help us escape from danger quickly?"

Su Yu nodded, carefully observing the surrounding environment, and suddenly noticed that the words on a stone tablet not far away were faintly flashing: "Look at this, it seems to be a hint."

The three people gathered in front of the stone tablet and carefully read the information engraved on it. They saw that it was written: "Only those with pure hearts can pass the trial and gain the way to the heart of the Demon Realm."

Just as they were discussing how to deal with it, a faint but unusually pleasant voice came: "Hey, you three look like you're in trouble? Maybe I can help~"

When they looked up, they saw a little elf rabbit wearing a green cloak and long ears sitting on a stone, staring at them with its eyes rolling.

"Who are you?" Li Feng looked at the unusual little creature in surprise.

The elf rabbit smiled and said, "You can call me Spirit Rabbit. I am one of the guardian spirit beasts in this forest. But if you want my help, you need to pass a small game!"

Lin Feng immediately understood what she meant: "That is to say, 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 hands in agreement, "Then the problem is much simpler - next I will give you three a puzzle, and you can get the map fragment leading to the lower passage if you answer it. If you fail, hehe, you should know the consequences, right?"

The three of them exchanged glances, and finally the quick-witted Su Yu stepped forward: "No problem, what is your puzzle?"

The rabbit blinked, then cleared its throat and said, "Listen carefully - it works at sunrise and stops at midnight. It is neither made by humans nor naturally generated. What is it?"

After hearing this question, everyone present immediately fell into a state of thinking. At this time, there was a noisy sound outside again, and it was obvious that the pursuers were about to catch up here.

Time is running out, and he must come up with an answer quickly. Lin Feng's brain started to work quickly...

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning. "I know!" He announced the answer loudly, "This refers to the shadow? It appears during the day with our actions, and disappears at night because there is no light source; it is not a physical existence but follows closely behind every living thing."

Hearing this, Lingtu's eyes lit up: "Hmm, you actually answered it. Well, well, in that case, this map leading to the deep tunnel will be yours." As he said that, he handed the three people a piece of map fragment that looked ancient but sparkled with strange light.

After receiving the map, everyone felt relieved. "Thank you, Lingtu." Lin Feng expressed his gratitude sincerely.

"You're welcome. Good luck to everyone!" As a silver bell-like laughter sounded, the mysterious and cute little creature disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Let's leave here quickly before they find us." Li Feng reminded.

Following the directions provided by the spirit rabbit, they finally found a secret underground passage that was hidden very deeply and was not easy to find at ordinary times. As they entered it, they could vaguely hear the angry shouts of the searchers coming from above, which made them sweat.

After passing through the dark, narrow and slightly damp road and turning left and right countless times, the road in front of us suddenly opened up. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves onto the wet green grass, and the air was particularly fresh and pleasant.

Just as the three were preparing to take a short break, they suddenly heard something strange happening beside them, and they drew their swords involuntarily to be on guard. "Oh my, don't be so nervous~" That voice sounded again, and it was still the strange little girl they had met before.

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 reached out and gently stroked an inconspicuous plant next to her: "Remember my words - courage and wisdom are always the most powerful and precious weapons. No matter what difficulties you face, don't give up hope easily. Persevere and you will succeed."

After that, she blended into the surrounding environment and disappeared. Lin Feng and others looked at each other for a long time without saying anything, until Su Yu finally broke the silence: "Anyway... let's keep going!"

"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 ahead at the new journey full of countless variables but also containing infinite possibilities, the group finally showed a long-lost relaxed and happy smile after many hardships. However, this peaceful and beautiful moment was soon broken by the more difficult tasks that followed.
The little girl's words still echoed in my ears: "Remember, courage and wisdom are the key. What comes next is the real test of your willpower..."

The three of them continued 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 Demon Realm. The environment along the way gradually became more dangerous, with various mechanisms and traps all around, but thanks to the guidance of the map fragments given by the spirit rabbit, they successfully avoided a lot of trouble.

"This place is becoming more and more chilling." Li Feng whispered while being alert to any possible threats around him.

"Indeed." Lin Feng nodded in response, "But we must find the secret location of the ritual to teleport monsters as soon as possible. According to intelligence, that is where the cultists hold evil rituals and summon unknown creatures."

Su Yu walked in front of the team, holding a sharp sword to explore the way: "We have walked very far. According to the map, we should be almost there, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge empty cave suddenly appeared in front of him. Countless stalactites hung from the ceiling, and the whole space was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. In the dim center stood an exquisitely carved altar, and around it were several figures in black robes, performing some strange and ancient rituals.

The three exchanged glances and immediately took action: using the terrain as cover, they slowly moved closer to the target. When they got close enough, they clearly heard a strange whisper like a spell and strange fluctuations in the air - all of which reminded them that time was running out and they had to stop it!
However, just as they were about to attack, one of the sorcerers who looked like the leader suddenly opened his eyes and looked in their direction. "There are intruders!" With his angry shout, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"Oh no, we're exposed!" Li Feng cursed in a low voice, and then rushed out of the hiding place first to launch an attack to buy more reaction time for his companions, "Everyone, fight separately and make a quick decision!"

Lin Feng followed closely behind and faced several approaching enemies; while Su Yu went straight to the key person who was guiding the ceremony at the core.

Suddenly, the entire underground cave was filled with the sound of fighting and the whistling of spells. Amid the flashes of swords and sabers, the three warriors each used all their skills to fight their opponents. Although they had the upper hand for a while, due to their absolute disadvantage in numbers, the situation became increasingly critical.

"Stop them quickly! Don't let them interfere with the great plan!" The cult leader roared and ordered his men to block the three heroes' way forward.

"Su Yu, be careful behind you!" Just when the opponent was about to touch the dawn of victory, Lin Feng, who was fighting fiercely nearby, suddenly issued a warning.

When she turned around and looked back, she found an agile assassin quietly appeared behind her, holding up a sharp short blade and trying to attack. At the critical moment, she barely avoided the fatal injury with her keen intuition, but her arm was severely cut.

"Damn it..." The sight of him covering his wound and gritting his teeth to hold on to his shaky body made everyone stop what they were doing involuntarily. "You shameless people, you actually want to sacrifice countless innocent lives to awaken the devil in exchange for your own power? This is disgusting!"

"Humph, how can an ignorant person understand the true mystery?" The cult leader replied sarcastically. "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, at this critical moment of life and death, Su Yu aroused the indomitable fighting spirit deep in her heart. She struggled to stand up: "Delusion! Even if I have only one breath left, I will do my best to crush your crazy conspiracy!"

Seeing this, Li Feng immediately abandoned the last enemy who had lost his combat effectiveness and came to support this side: "Come on, boss, let's fight to the end together! No matter what the result is, we must bring justice to this place shrouded in shadows!" (End of this chapter)
