Liehuo followed closely behind. He was burly, like a moving mountain, blocking many fallen rocks for Grandma Lin behind him.
Doctor Zhang looked back from time to time to check the situation of everyone to make sure that no one fell behind.
The exit of the rune array is right in front of you, but the road to the exit becomes narrower and narrower, and the falling rocks are getting denser.
Everyone had to slow down and move forward carefully.
At this moment, a huge stone fell from the top of his head and was hitting towards Xiaohong.
The man in white had quick eyes and hands, and pushed Xiaohong away with one hand, but he was hit by a stone and let out a muffled groan.
"The man in white!" Xiaohong exclaimed and hurriedly supported the man in white.
The man in white looked pale and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but he endured the pain and smiled at Xiaohong: "I'm fine, don't worry."
With the concerted efforts of everyone, they finally escaped from the collapsed rune formation.
However, the moment they stepped out of the rune array, they saw the outside world undergoing earth-shaking changes.
The sky was dyed a strange purple-red color, and there was a disturbing atmosphere in the air.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Liehuo murmured to himself: "What's wrong? Is it because the sky is about to collapse?"
Xiaohong looked up at the sky, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart.
She felt a powerful force approaching quietly...
"This..." Xiaohong pointed at the sky, with a hint of disbelief in her tone, "What is this..."
The purple-red sky is like a huge curtain, covering the entire village, looking strange and mysterious.
Everyone who escaped from the death of the rune array opened their eyes wide and looked at the strange scene curiously.
"Wow! This color looks so beautiful!" Luo Xiaoyu was the first to exclaim, with excitement in her tone.
Xiaohong was also attracted by the scene in front of her. She felt an inexplicable throbbing, and something seemed to be calling in the depths of her heart.
"What's going on?" Zhang Langzhong pushed the glasses on his nose and analyzed calmly, "Is it some kind of astronomical change?"
Grandma Lin was leaning on a crutch, with a hint of worry on her face, but she was more of a desire to explore the unknown. "No matter what it is, this is rare in a century!"
The villagers around also walked out of their homes, gathered in the open space, pointed at the sky, and talked a lot.
The lively atmosphere is like a grand festival.
"I heard that where such visions appear are often accompanied by opportunities!" Elder Chen twisted his beard, and his eyes were shining with a wise light. "It's better for us to go and see what inspiration we might get."
"Okay! I've long wanted to see the source of this strange phenomenon!" Luo Xiaoyu was the first to respond. She was eager to try and wanted to set off immediately.
So, at the suggestion of Elder Chen, everyone decided to go to the source of the strange scenery together to find out.
However, when they were about to leave, different sounds appeared in the village.
"No, it's too dangerous! Who knows what you'll encounter?" said an elderly villager tremblingly.
"Yes, don't go, what if there are monsters and monsters?" Another timid villager also echoed.
"Why are you so timid?" Luo Xiaoyu curled her lips disdainfully, "With Elder Chen and Doctor Zhang here, what are you afraid of? Besides, we have so many strong men, are you still afraid of those ghosts?"
"Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense!" Xiaohong pulled the corner of La Luo Xiaoyu's clothes, telling her not to be too impulsive.
"What I said is the truth!" Luo Xiaoyu did not give in, with a hint of impatient tone, "You guys only know how to shrink and never achieve great things!"
After Luo Xiaoyu said this, the villagers who opposed him suddenly turned red and the atmosphere became awkward.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing this, Xiaohong quickly stepped forward and advised softly: "Everyone calm down. We just want to go and see. If we really encounter danger, we will come back immediately. Don't worry."
She tried to relieve the tension in a gentle tone, but there was still a hint of tension in the air.
At this moment, the mysterious old man who had been silent suddenly spoke. His eyes were deep and he looked at the purple-red sky: "This strange phenomenon... is very unusual..."
The purple-red sky is like a huge gem, emitting a blurry light under the sunlight.
However, under the beautiful scene, there is the anxiety in everyone's heart.
The argument just now wasted a lot of time. The strange scenery in the sky seemed to be undergoing subtle changes, and the colors gradually deepened, like boiling blood, flowing with an uneasy breath.
"Cough cough..." The mysterious old man suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently. His face was pale and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Old man, are you okay?" Grandma Lin hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern.
Doctor Zhang also came over to take the pulse of the old man.
"Old man, you are anxious and need to rest."
Everyone gathered around, caring about the old man's body in a verbal manner, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
Xiaohong looked at the old man's uncomfortable look, tears rolling in her eyes. She knew in her heart that the old man's understanding of this vision was far beyond everyone's, and he must have known something.
Everyone thought the old man would stop everyone from moving forward, and they were hesitating whether to give up this exploration.
However, the old man forced himself to hold his body, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. This vision...is important, you must go and see it."
His voice was weak, but with unquestionable firmness, which surprised everyone.
They looked at the old man in surprise,
The old man took a deep breath, pointed to the vision in the sky, and said, "Go, children, go and uncover the mysterious veil. Remember, be careful."
Everyone nodded silently, with a firm light flashing in their eyes.
They knew that this exploration was not only to satisfy curiosity, but also to understand the secrets behind this vision and for the safety of the village.
Xiaohong looked at the old man and said with a sob: "Old man, you..."
"Go..." the old man urged again, "There is not much time..."
Everyone stopped hesitating and turned toward the source of the vision. Xiaohong took a last look at the old man.
"Wait..." A voice suddenly sounded...
After setting off again, everyone walked along the rugged mountain road.
The air is filled with the fragrance of the soil and mixed with unknown fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing.
The sun shines through the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground, like jumping notes.
"Wait, what is that?" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, pointed to a clump of green plants on the side of the road.
When I got closer, I saw that the plant had thick leaves, tall stems, and a few small lilac flowers bloomed at the top, emitting a faint fragrance.
Doctor Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to check it out and shouted in surprise: "This is purple jade Ganoderma lucidum! An extremely precious medicinal material!"
Everyone surrounded and carefully observed the strange plant.
Under the sunlight, the leaves of purple jade Ganoderma lucidum are shining with a luster, like pieces of carefully carved jade.
"There are still here! There are so many!" Luo Xiaoyu discovered a few more purple jade Ganoderma lucidum, and was as excited as a child.
In the next journey, everyone continued to discover various precious herbs, some were good medicines for treating difficult and complicated diseases, and some were rare treasures for enhancing their skills.
Everyone was very excited, and felt like they had gained unexpected gains, and their original worries and tension were wiped out.
Doctor Zhang smiled even more happily and carefully collected these precious herbs, with the smile on his face as bright as the sun.
While collecting herbs, he explained the effects and usage of these herbs to everyone, and his tone was filled with enthusiasm and joy.
The surrounding space also seemed to be brighter because of their emotions, the birds sang happily, and the breeze gently brushed by, bringing the fragrance of flowers.
"It seems that this exploration has gained a lot." Xiaohong looked at the return home full of dormitory Zhang, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, I didn't expect such a surprise." Elder Chen also sighed, "Maybe the appearance of this vision is not a bad thing."
The seeds of hope take root and sprout in the hearts of everyone, dispelling the previous haze.
They continued to move forward and their pace became lighter.
The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly, giving her strength and a sense of security.
Xiaohong felt the warmth of her palms. She turned her head and looked at the man in white, with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, showing a sweet smile.
Liehuo carefully supported the mysterious old man and respected him as much as he treated his elders.
Although the mysterious old man was weak, he was in good spirits and looked ahead with deep eyes, as if he had foreseeed something.
The entire team was filled with a warm atmosphere, and everyone supported and encouraged each other, making the relationship closer.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and pointed ahead and said, "It's here!"
Everyone looked up and saw...
"Be careful!" The man in white suddenly pulled Xiaohong behind him and stared vigilantly in front of him.
Everyone arrived at the source of the strange scenery, and the scene in front of them shocked them.
A huge vortex of energy hangs in mid-air, like a gateway to another world.
A dazzling purple-red light flashed in the center of the vortex, and the air around it seemed to be twisted, making a low buzzing sound.
"This...what is this?" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed, his tone full of awe.
Everyone approached the vortex carefully, and a powerful wave of energy rushed towards them, as if they were about to swallow them.
The air was filled with a strange breath of energy, with a hint of burning heat, stimulating their skin.
"What a powerful force!" Zhang Langzhong felt the fluctuations of energy, and his eyes were flashing with excitement.
Just as everyone was studying the vortex, a figure slowly walked out of the vortex.
The figure was tall and burly, wearing a black robe, and the hood covered his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"It's him!" Xiaohong exclaimed, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Everyone also recognized the person, which was the black-robed wizard he had met in the rune formation before.
He exuded a stronger aura, and the feeling of danger was stronger than before.
The air seemed to solidify, so depressing that it made people breathless.
The black-robed wizard slowly raised his head, revealing his pale face, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out a hand and pointed at everyone, his voice hoarse and low: "Long time no see..."
Everyone was facing a great enemy, their eyes locked on the black-robed wizard, as if a cheetah was staring at his prey, and they refused to let him go in the slightest movement.
The air seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, solidifying into a heavy lead block, making people breathless.
Everyone's breathing became cautious, fearing that a little sound would make a breaking of this suffocating silence.
Before they knew it, they gathered together, back to back, like birds in a storm, snuggling together, ready to welcome the coming storm.
The strange smile on the corner of the black-robed wizard's mouth widened. He suddenly raised his hand and a dark light containing the power of destruction shot towards everyone like a poisonous snake.
"Be careful!" Xiaohong exclaimed, reminding everyone.
The man in white shook his figure and blocked everyone. He formed seals with both hands, and a white light curtain suddenly unfolded, barely resisting the impact of the dark light.
The dark force collided with the white light curtain, making a deafening roar, and energy overflowed, causing the surrounding leaves to roar.
Luo Xiaoyu clenched her fists nervously, stared at the changes in the field, ready to take action at any time.
The shock wave of the dark power has not yet dissipated, and the black-robed wizard waved his hand again, and countless black energy blades shot towards everyone like raindrops.
The energy blade was extremely fast, slashing through the air and making a sharp whistle, like the death talisman of the God of Death.
Everyone dodged left and right, exhausted from dealing with it. Blacksmith Zhao could not dodge and was hit in the chest by an energy blade. He groaned and fell to the ground.
"Blacksmith!" Li Liehuo exclaimed, trying to go forward to check, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the subsequent attacks.
As everyone retreated step by step, the formation was about to be dispersed.
The mysterious old man who had been silent suddenly opened his turbid eyes. He took out a simple jade pendant from his arms. The surface of the jade pendant was carved with mysterious runes and emitted a faint golden light.
The old man slowly raised the jade pendant and muttered something. A powerful wave of energy emanated from the jade pendant, covering everyone.
At this moment, the black-robed wizard launched an attack again. This time, his hands were spread out, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world. A huge black vortex appeared in front of him. In the vortex, countless black lightnings surged violently, making deafening explosions.
He sneered, his low and hoarse voice seemed to come from the abyss of hell, with infinite malice: "Are you ready for despair?"
The attack of the black-robed wizard poured down like a storm. The black vortex of energy seemed to devour everything. The resistance of the crowd seemed so insignificant in front of him.
The despair surged into their hearts like a tide, which made them breathless.
They feel like a small boat in the sea, and they may be swallowed by huge waves at any time.
Elder Chen tried his best to protect Grandma Lin behind him. A black energy blade cut through his back, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
He groaned, staggered and fell down, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Elder Chen!" Everyone exclaimed, surrounded him and anxiously checked his injuries.
"Ahem...I'm fine..." Elder Chen said weakly, his face pale as paper.
Xiaohong looked at the injured Elder Chen, tears rolling in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, trying not to let the tears flow.
Just when everyone thought they could only rely on the mysterious old man's jade pendant and fought to the death with the black-robed wizard, Li Huowen suddenly pointed to the black-robed wizard's back and exclaimed: "Look! What's behind him?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Li Liehun's finger and saw a rune mark with a dark red light behind the black-robed wizard.
This mark is like an eye hidden in the darkness, emitting a strange aura.
"What is that?" Luo Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
Everyone looked at each other and saw surprise and hope in each other's eyes.
"Is that... that's his weakness?" Zhang Langzhong murmured to himself.
Xiaohong's eyes were locked tightly on the rune mark, and a bold idea suddenly surged in her heart.
She took a deep breath and said to everyone: "We..."
The fire of hope ignited in everyone's eyes, and worked together, rushing towards the black-robed wizard like an arrow from the string.
The man in white flew his hands, and white light burst out on his fingertips, turning into a solid barrier, temporarily blocking the black energy of the black robe wizard.
Liehuo and Zhao Blacksmith were like two furious bulls, roaring in front. They waved their weapons, with the momentum of breaking the wind, and pointed directly at the runes behind the black-robed wizard.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Li Huowen's mace slammed hard on the back of the black-robed wizard, and the rune flashing with a dark red light in the middle.
The black-robed wizard's body shook, and the originally violent energy vortex instantly became disordered and its power decreased sharply.
The black energy that had already been so overwhelming that everyone was breathless also became sparse.
"Success!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, and the fatigue on her face was replaced by joy.
Everyone had victory smiles on their faces, and they high-fives and cheered loudly to celebrate this hard-won victory.
The air around seemed to have become brighter because of their emotions, and the feeling of depression was swept away, replaced by a kind of ease and pleasure.
The dawn of victory is so dazzling and so exciting at this moment.
The man in white put away his spell, rushed to Xiaohong with one step, and hugged her tightly into his arms.
Xiaohong snuggled in his broad chest, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart was filled with peace of mind and sweetness.
She raised her head,
Grandma Lin looked at the group of young people kindly, with a gratifying smile on her face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes stretched out, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Liewoo scratched his head and smiled honestly, his white teeth shining in the sun.
The whole scene was filled with warmth and hope, and everyone's emotions were greatly soothed.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and the breeze blew by, bringing coolness, as if chanting in a low voice for their victory.
"We are about to win!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, his voice full of expectations.
Just when everyone thought the black-robed wizard was about to be defeated, the black-robed wizard suddenly let out a gloomy laugh, and his low and hoarse voice echoed in the air, like the whisper of a devil from hell.
"Innocent."
