"It's now!" Elder Chen shouted loudly.
Master Lingyin clasped his hands together and muttered something. A golden light shot out from his hand, hitting the Shadow Demon.
The Shadow Demon let out a shrill scream...
"Not good!" The man in white suddenly changed his face, "It wants..."
Everyone worked together and the offensive was tide.
The man in white had a sword light like a rainbow, and every time he waved it, it fell accurately on the weak point of the Shadow Demon, making a harsh sound of "hissing".
Luo Xiaoyu's body was agile, and her dagger flew around, like a graceful butterfly, constantly shuttled through the shadow demon's attacks, restraining its actions.
Master Lingyin's golden light hit the shadow demon again and again, making a dull "bang" sound, weakening its power.
Xiaohong's jade pendant shines brightly, as hot as the scorching sun. Every time he hits the Shadow Demon, it will make it wail in pain.
Zhao Blacksmith and Wang Liehuo also cheered up. They waved their weapons and cooperated with the attacks of the crowd, like a solid wall, blocking the shadow demon's counterattack.
Finally, under the joint attack of everyone, the Shadow Demon could no longer hold on, and his huge body fell to the ground with a loud "bang", shaking the ground trembled and dust rose.
The dust settled, and everyone looked at the shadow demon who was wailing on the ground, and their hearts were filled with indescribable excitement.
Luo Xiaoyu waved the dagger in her hand excitedly, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Blacksmith Zhao and Lehuo Wang high-fives each other, making a crisp "slap" sound, celebrating the hard-won victory.
They knew that the battle in front of them was just the beginning, but they had successfully taken the first step.
Morale was greatly boosted, and everyone was at this moment, Elder Xuanfeng, hiding in the dark, saw that the shadow demon he summoned was so vulnerable.
The man in white hugged Xiaohong excitedly, and Xiaohong was tightly held in his arms by the man in white, feeling extremely relieved and happy.
Zhao Blacksmith and Wang Liehuo hugged each other, expressing the joy and friendship of the aftermath of the disaster.
Grandma Lin looked at everyone with a smile. Doctor Zhang pushed the glasses on his nose, and a long-lost smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone felt the friendship between them, like the warm sun in winter, warming their hearts.
Everyone did not celebrate too much, they knew that a more difficult battle was still behind.
They followed the direction when the Shadow Demon came, and finally found Elder Xuanfeng.
Elder Xuanfeng sneered and watched the fierce battle break out. The sword light of the man in white, Luo Xiaoyu's dagger, Master Lingyin's Buddha light, Elder Chen's wisdom, and everyone's strength gathered together, like a surging river, unstoppable.
Although Elder Xuanfeng's attack was powerful, he seemed a little powerless under the joint efforts of everyone.
In the end, Elder Xuanfeng fell into a pool of blood and roared unwillingly.
The conspiracy was completely broken, the dark clouds that enveloped everyone's heads dissipated, the sky cleared again, the sun shone on the ground again, and everything became easier.
The man in white looked into the distance, frowned, and suddenly said, "Things are probably not that simple..."
The sunlight dispels the haze and falls again on this land that has survived the disaster.
Zhao's rough laughter made his chest numb. He hugged Wang Huowen. The two strong men collided like two iron towers, making a muffled bang. It was the joy of surviving the disaster and a symbol of deep brotherhood.
The wrinkles on Grandma Lin's face stretched out like flowers blooming in spring. Her kind eyes swept across everyone. Doctor Zhang pushed the glasses on his nose, and a long-lost smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had taken off a heavy burden.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, but it also brought the ease of life after the disaster. Everyone's heart was like cotton shining in the sun, warm and soft.
However, the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long.
Xiaohong frowned slightly, and her keen eyes captured a trace of unusual movements deep in the woods in the distance, which was a faint and unsettling atmosphere.
The smile on her face instantly frozen, and her originally soft eyes also became alert.
Others also noticed Xiaohong's strangeness, and their smile gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity and vigilance.
The joy of the aftermath of the disaster was instantly dispersed, replaced by a premonition of anxiety.
Without any hesitation, everyone put away their relaxed moods and walked carefully towards the suspicious forest along the direction Xiaohong signaled.
After passing through the dense forest, my eyes suddenly became clear, but I saw a group of ferocious bandits blocking their way.
The leader of the bandit, with a beard covering half of his face, his eyes were fierce, and he waved a ghost-headed knife in his hand. The blade reflected a terrifying cold light in the sun.
He roared with a hoarse voice and growled like a wild beast: "I have opened this mountain and I have planted this tree. If you want to live there from now on, leave your money to buy wealth!"
Luo Xiaoyu sneered, and the dagger in her hand was flashing with a cold light. She was not the one who obeyed her.
The man in white took a step forward, pointing the tip of his sword directly at the bandit without giving in.
Others also posed for fighting. They had just experienced a fierce battle and were not afraid.
Seeing that everyone was so tough, the bandits were immediately angry and howled, waved their weapons and rushed towards everyone.
The two sides were instantly in a melee, with swords and swords, roars, and the sound of weapons colliding, breaking the just-serene forest.
The man in white was as shaped as lightning, and his sword skills were sharp. Every time he swung his sword, he took away a piece of blood. However, he vaguely felt that the attack methods of these bandits seemed familiar.
Although their moves are rough, they have a strange sense of familiarity, which is somewhat similar to the subordinates of Elder Xuanfeng whom they met before.
His heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.
It seems that things are not as simple as imagined.
At this moment, the bandit leader let out a strange cry, and the ghost-headed sword in his hand was waving even more wildly, pushing the battle to a new height.
The man in white looked shaking and shouted softly: "Be careful!"
The number of bandits far exceeded everyone's expectations, and they rushed in like a tide, one after another, as if endless.
Although everyone has good martial arts skills, their long-term battle has made them feel tired and their breathing has become rapid.
Sweat soaked the clothes and pressed tightly against the body, causing a sticky discomfort.
The sound of swords colliding is like a death-seeking note, echoing in my ears.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people sick.
While avoiding the attack of the bandits, Doctor Zhang tried his best to treat his injured companions.
Fine beads of sweat seeped out from his forehead, but his hands were extremely calm.
However, the bandit's harassment made him unable to concentrate. As soon as the bandage was wrapped, it was interrupted by the splashed stones. Blood from the wound gushed out again, dyeing the white bandage red.
The injured companion moaned in pain, pale face and chapped lips,
Xiaohong looked at all this, and her heart felt as if she was tightly held by an invisible big hand, and her breathing became difficult.
She could feel the fatigue and despair emitted by her companions, and also felt the bloodthirsty madness of the bandits.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes firmly, but her heart was filled with worry.
This time the difficulty seems to be more difficult than any previous one.
Just when everyone was about to be unable to hold on, Zhao Blacksmith, who had been silent, suddenly took out a metal sphere the size of a fist from his arms.
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what he was going to do.
I saw Blacksmith Zhao smiled and showed a yellowed teeth. His rough hands quickly fiddled on the metal sphere a few times, and then threw them into the bandits.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the metal sphere exploded, and countless tiny caltrops splashed out like flowers in the sky. The bandits were caught off guard and were attacked, screaming one after another.
Seeing this, everyone was excited and took this opportunity to adjust their state and prepare to face the next wave of attacks.
The man in white glanced at Blacksmith Zhao. The originally chaotic battle situation became clear in an instant because of Elder Chen's command.
The bandits were caught off guard by this sudden change, and their originally fierce arrogance disappeared, replaced by panic and fear.
Seeing the bandits' panic, everyone's morale was greatly boosted and their attacks became even more fierce.
Luo Xiaoyu had a clever figure, and was traveling between bandits like a butterfly. Every time the dagger waved, it hit the target accurately, with blood splattering and screaming.
Blacksmith Zhao waved the hammer in his hand, and his momentum was heavy. Each attack was filled with thunder and thunder, smashing the bandits in front of him to break their bones and tendons.
The others also showed their magical powers and cooperated with tacit understanding to defeat the bandits step by step.
The bandit leader was frightened when he saw his subordinates being beaten to the point of no fight back. He turned around and wanted to escape.
However, before he could run a few steps, he was blocked by Liehuo.
Liehuo was burly and stood in front of the bandit leader like an iron tower. The hunting knife in his hand flashed coldly, and his tone was cold: "Want to run away? It's not that easy!"
Xiaohong hid behind the man in white, and the generous back of the man in white gave her a great sense of security.
He glanced at Xiaohong gently, "Luo Xiaoyu and Grandma Lin supported each other, and Grandma Lin patted Luo Xiaoyu's hand kindly, everyone encouraged and supported each other, and the power of friendship was fully displayed at this moment.
In the end, the bandits were completely defeated, and they all threw away their armor and fled in all directions.
Everyone looked at the fleeing bandits and cheered, and the joy of surviving the disaster surged into their hearts again.
However, the joy did not last long, and the expressions of the people gradually became solemn.
They knew that although they had defeated these bandits, there were more unknown dangers ahead waiting for them.
The man in white looked at the direction of the bandits' escape, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Things... are probably not that simple."
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the forests into scarlet red, and the figures of fleeing bandits gradually disappeared into the twilight.
Everyone looked at the direction where they disappeared, but there was no joy of victory on their faces, but instead a layer of solemnity was shrouded in them.
There was a strange smell in the air, which made people feel heart-pounding.
The surrounding trees became twisted at some point, and the branches stretched into the sky like ghost claws, making rustling sounds, like low whimpers.
The originally crisp bird song disappeared, replaced by a creepy silence.
An invisible pressure enveloped everyone, as if an invisible pair of eyes were peeking at them in the dark.
"This place... is a bit strange." Zhang Langzhong whispered. He subconsciously touched the medicine sack on his waist, and his palms were slightly sweating.
Elder Chen stroked his white beard, looked ahead with a deep look, and said in a deep voice: "This place seems to be shrouded in a mysterious force, we must be careful."
Grandma Lin held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly and looked at everyone worriedly, "Children, why don't we go back, it's too dangerous here."
Luo Xiaoyu shook her head firmly, "We finally got here, we can't give up like this! Grandma, don't worry, I will protect you."
Everyone exchanged their eyes and finally decided to move forward.
They stepped into this strange forest carefully, taking every step with great caution, fearing that they would disturb some unknown existence.
As they deepened, the surrounding fog became thicker and the visibility became lower and lower.
The outlines of the trees became blurred, as if countless ghosts were hidden.
A chill rose from the soles of the feet and rushed straight to the top of the head, making people shudder.
"We seem... lost." Xiaohong's voice trembled a little. She grabbed the sleeves of the man in white tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"This... is a confusion!" Elder Chen exclaimed, his face became extremely solemn, "We must find a way to crack it as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Luo Xiaoyu interrupted him impatiently, "Don't let my mother-in-law swear! Isn't it just a confusion? We will rush forward directly, we will definitely be able to go out!" As she said that, she was about to move forward.
"Don't be reckless!" Elder Chen grabbed her, "In the confusion, it's hard to tell the direction. If you walk around randomly, you will only sink deeper and deeper!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm stupid?" Luo Xiaoyu glared at Elder Chen, and an argument was about to break out.
Suddenly, the man in white raised his hand to signal everyone to silence.
He slowly squatted down and placed his hand on the ground, as if feeling something.
After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes fell on an ancient tree not far away, and said slowly: "There is there..."
In the confusion, the air seemed to be frozen and breathing became difficult.
Everyone felt that their physical strength was quickly lost and their legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Sweat soaked the clothes and pressed against the body, bringing waves of chill.
The ears buzzed, and everything in front of me became blurred, as if I could faint at any time.
"I...I can't walk..." Luo Xiaoyu's voice was weak and powerless. She staggered for a moment and almost fell down.
Grandma Lin hurriedly held her, her face full of worry.
"Be careful!" Zhang Langzhong exclaimed, and saw Xiaohong's face pale and falling to the ground.
Her forehead hit a sharp stone, and blood instantly poured out.
"Xiaohong!" The man in white rushed over and hugged Xiaohong in his arms.
He was rushing through the medicine bag to find the medicine to stop bleeding, but found that due to the influence of the disorder, it was difficult to even distinguish the medicinal materials.
"What should I do? This...what should I do..." Doctor Zhang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In the confusion, his medical skills also lost their effect.
Xiaohong lay in the arms of the man in white, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.
She felt like she was trapped in an invisible cage, surrounded by darkness and no glimmer of hope.
She held the treasure in her hand tightly, but found that it had lost its former light at this moment, becoming cold and silent.
The despair surged into her heart like a tide, drowned her.
Wang Hunter, who had been silent, was surprisingly calm at this moment.
He squatted down, carefully observed the fallen leaves and soil on the ground, and then looked up at the growth direction of the surrounding trees.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was doing.
"Come with me." Wang Liewo stood up and said firmly.
"You... do you know how to get there?" Luo Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
Wang Liehun did not answer, but just walked in one direction.
Everyone hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe him.
They followed Wang Hunter and walked forward carefully.
The thick fog was still permeated, but for some reason, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.
"Wait..." Wang Liehuo suddenly stopped. He pointed to a strange-shaped tree in front of him and said in a deep voice, "It's there."
Following Wang Hunter, everyone walked through the fog with deep and shallow feet.
Wang Hunter seemed to be extremely familiar with this area. He could always accurately avoid obstacles hidden in the thick fog, such as abrupt rocks and mixed tree roots.
After walking for about half an hour, the thick fog around miraculously began to dissipate.
A trace of light shines through the mist and shines on everyone, bringing the long-lost warmth.
"The fog...the fog has dissipated!" Luo Xiaoyu screamed in surprise, with a hint of trembling in her voice, as if she couldn't believe everything in front of her.
Others also showed joyful expressions, and the feeling of surviving the disaster made them very excited.
Grandma Lin even folded her hands together and muttered something to her, thanking God for her protection.
As the thick fog dissipates, the field of vision gradually becomes wider.
Everyone found themselves in a clearing, and in the middle of the clearing, a unique mark was carved on a huge rock.
The mark is like an ancient rune, emitting a faint golden light, mysterious and solemn.
"That's it!" Wang Hunhuang pointed to the mark on the rock, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "This is the key to getting out of the confusion!" Everyone gathered around and carefully observed the mark.
Its lines are smooth and its structure is complex, and it seems to contain some profound meaning.
Xiaohong looked at Wang Liehuo gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Wang." Wang Liehuo smiled honestly and scratched his head, "It's nothing, I happened to know." The man in white exchanged a look with Master Lingyin, and both of them saw a hint of appreciation in each other's eyes.
Grandma Lin patted Luo Xiaoyu's hand gently and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, child, we will be out soon."
According to the guidance of Wang Hunter, everyone touched several points on the mark in a specific order.
As the last point was touched, the mark suddenly burst out with dazzling light, illuminating the entire open space.
After the light dissipated, everyone found that the surrounding scene had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The fog completely disappeared, replaced by a lush forest, with birds singing and flowers scenting and fresh air, which contrasted with the gloomy and terrifying confusion before.
