This sentence immediately reminded the other team members that the current situation is still serious and cannot be taken lightly. "That's right! We must find it as soon as possible or all our efforts will be in vain."

"Then which direction should we go next?" Zhao Yunlong asked, scratching his head.

Xueqi closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and pointed firmly to a certain place in the distance and said, "According to what I sensed just now, the treasure is nearby. Let's set off quickly!"

So, in this dark forest full of unknown challenges, this group of young warriors set out on a journey again, facing new unknowns and tests. But they knew that as long as they united with each other, nothing would be impossible to overcome.

"Let's go, guys, let's keep moving forward!" Lin Feng waved his hand to encourage.

"Come on, come on!" Li Feng and Zhao Yunlong responded in unison, following the captain confidently, heading towards an unknown direction. Xue Qi silently guarded beside them, silently chanting a blessing spell in her heart, hoping that the road ahead would not be too bumpy...

A few low roars of wild beasts were heard in the distance, but this did not affect the pace of these brave boys and girls. Their determination had already been deeply engraved in their hearts.

Just as Lin Feng and the others were about to get back on the road, a few dazzling rays of light suddenly streaked across the night sky, falling towards the depths of the forest like meteorites. After a while, the feeling of an earthquake came again, and the entire forest seemed to be shaking.

"What is that?" Xueqi asked in horror as she looked at the light gradually dissipating in the distant sky.

Lin Feng shook his head solemnly: "No matter what it is, it's not a good thing."

After they continued walking for a while, they suddenly saw several dents and burnt land in an open area that were obviously caused by a strong impact. The air was also filled with a faint metallic smell and an unknown odor.

"Has a battle taken place here?" Li Feng looked around and observed, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Zhao Yunlong gripped his spear nervously. "It was a very intense battle... but it looks like the enemy isn't an ordinary creature or monster."

At this moment, a cold and strange voice sounded from the shadows not far away, "You are right, my companions did fight with some local natives."

A humanoid creature wearing strange clothes and covered with strange armor walked out slowly. His eyes emitted a faint green light, which was particularly creepy in the night; his skin was sickly gray, and he obviously did not belong to any known race on this continent. "I am Grim, a powerful warrior from the edge of the universe." He said these words coldly and stopped talking, but his superior attitude was enough to make people feel depressed and even suffocated.

"What do you want?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly, and at the same time signaled his teammates to prepare for defense.

Grim smiled contemptuously, "We have no special interest in you, we are just passing by. Of course... since we have discovered the potential threat, it is necessary to eliminate it." As soon as he finished speaking, his figure rushed directly towards Zhao Yunlong who was nearest to him at an incredible speed!
Almost at the same time, two other outsiders with strange equipment and considerable strength came from different directions. One of them quickly passed behind the crowd with two swords in hand, ready to launch a surprise attack; the other, who was even bigger, raised his cannon-like weapon and fired laser beams at the target group!
Faced with the sudden and fierce attack, they were still caught off guard despite being prepared. In particular, Zhao Yunlong was almost unable to withstand the opponent's violent attack because he was too close; fortunately, Li Feng quickly came back to help and used his own flexibility to help his teammates break through, and they barely managed to stabilize their position.

However, the crisis was not resolved - the combat power of those unfamiliar enemies was stronger than expected, and they cooperated with each other very well, which soon put the already exhausted team into an even more dangerous and passive situation.

On the other side, Xueqi tried to chant a spell to cast a large-scale spell to control the range, but just as the magic energy was about to condense into shape, it was directly dispersed by a purple lightning. The alien creature that launched the attack immediately took the opportunity to get close to her and posed a serious threat.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately swung his sword to block the fatal blow and turned around to kick the man several meters away. "Move quickly! We will die here if we continue to fight like this!" He ordered loudly. So the team began to fight and retreat, trying to get rid of the opponent as much as possible in order to find a suitable terrain to implement the counterattack plan...

After several fierce battles, fleeing seemed to be the only viable option. "Follow me!" Lin Feng made a quick decision and turned to run towards a cave that seemed to be more hidden. Everyone followed closely behind him, not daring to hesitate for fear that if they were a step slower, they would die under the claws of the enemy!

After finally entering a small space and taking a breath, everyone looked exhausted and in a mess. "What should we do? If they chase us in, we're doomed..." Li Feng said worriedly while taking a deep breath to adjust his state.

"We can only take a gamble." Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and answered firmly. "Let's give them a 'surprise' when they come in!" As he said that, he pointed to a few stones in the cave that looked ordinary but actually had hidden mechanisms...

As expected, Grimm and his three companions soon stepped into the dark tunnel to search for the target. "Foolish human, do you think you can escape punishment by hiding?" He laughed and cursed sarcastically while turning on the night vision mode to adapt to the environment...

At this moment, the trap that had been set up long ago was activated: the originally calm and ripple-free lake water instantly turned into a rolling heat wave that swept out and submerged the entire corridor, trapping the enemy inside and making it impossible for them to move at all; then the pre-set rockfall device was also activated, and tons of boulders fell one after another and smashed down on those who tried to escape from this desperate situation...

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the four heroes quickly shuttled through the dense forest and headed deep into the unknown. The constant curses and explosions behind them proved that this counterattack had achieved certain results, but it also meant that they would face more severe and cruel challenges in the future...

By the time they reached a relatively open area through dense bushes, the sky was gradually turning white with a faint dawn. "Let's find a place to rest for a while!" Lin Feng suggested. "But we must take turns to be on duty and stay highly alert to avoid being attacked by other unexpected events!"

"Yeah." Xueqi nodded and agreed, sitting down first, closing her eyes to recover her magic points. The two people next to her began to simply clean the wounds and treat the injuries to make full preparations for the upcoming new wave of adventures...

"I hope I won't encounter this kind of trouble again next time." Li Feng smiled bitterly, with a barely perceptible uneasiness in his voice.

Lin Feng smiled and comforted her: "As long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

"Well said! Then let's welcome every tomorrow together." Zhao Yunlong clapped his hands and encouraged, "But first we have to solve the current problem."

"That's right, we have to find the legendary magic sword first." Lin Feng nodded in agreement, with determination in his eyes.

"Let's go, don't let those guys catch up." Li Feng stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and looked into the distance.

"Let's go!" Lin Feng gave the order, and everyone set out again, embarking on an unknown journey. At this time, the sky was just turning pale, and the morning light shone through the treetops onto the ground, illuminating their way forward.

The team continued to move forward through the dense forest. The sun was already high in the sky, the morning dew was gradually evaporating, and a fresh smell filled the air. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought they could be a little relieved, a burst of intensive flapping sounds came from a distance.

"Did you hear that?" Zhao Yunlong stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Lin Feng nodded, tightened his grip on the sword, and his eyes became serious. "It seems to be... a bat?"

Sure enough, before long, thousands of huge black mutant bats swarmed in from all directions like a dark cloud. These bats were not only huge in size, but their eyes also flashed a strange red light, and their wingspan was almost as wide as a person. What was even more creepy was that they made bursts of roaring sounds from their mouths, like messengers from hell.

"What kind of monster is this!" Xueqi screamed, and hurriedly chanted a spell to build a defensive barrier around the team.

Li Feng quickly took out a few homemade bombs and threw them at the swarm of bats. "Blow up these damn things!"

After a loud bang, several balls of fire exploded in the air, and countless bats were affected and fell down. However, more bats did not seem to be afraid of fire, but became more violent and rushed forward one after another.

Just when everyone was exhausted from fighting, a particularly large bat penetrated the protective wall and bit Xueqi's arm! She screamed in pain and fell to the ground, and her arm immediately became purple and black bruised.

Lin Feng shouted angrily and rushed forward, swinging his sword and cutting the bat into two pieces. "Xueqi, how are you?!"

She shook her head in pain. "I'm poisoned... The poison is very strong... I must find a way to detoxify it as soon as possible..."

Before she finished speaking, she fainted. At the same time, more mutant bats began to attack the last line of defense set up by Lin Feng and others, and the situation became increasingly serious.

Seeing this, Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "We have to quickly take her away and find a way to detoxify her."

"This place is not too far from the nearby villages, maybe we can find an old Chinese doctor here," Li Feng suggested.

"Good idea! But the most important thing right now is to get out of the danger zone first." Zhao Yunlong agreed, waving his gun to try to shoot down the flying monsters that were attacking crazily.

After a tough fight, they finally got rid of the mutant bats and headed straight for the nearest village, Cuizhu Town...

It was already late in the evening when they arrived at their destination, wounded and exhausted. The townspeople showed sympathy to the outsiders and soon several kind-hearted people were willing to provide them with shelter and medical assistance.

One of the doctors, a white-bearded, energetic old doctor, offered to help treat the wound and even try to remove the poison. After hearing what happened, he said, "This kind of poison is rare and can't be cured by ordinary herbs. But fortunately, it is not incurable... If you want to completely cure it, you need to go to Lingshan, a hundred miles away, to get the 'Nine-Colored Lotus'."

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned, "Thank you for showing me the way, old man! We'll set off now without further delay."

"Wait!" The old man stretched out his hand to stop the figure who was about to leave. "If you rush forward like this, I'm afraid you won't even reach your destination halfway. Besides, there are many unknown risks in the mountains, so you have to be careful."

After hearing this, the three of them noticed that their condition was indeed not very good: Zhao Yunlong had a bandage on his shoulder; Li Feng walked with a slight limp on his left leg; and Xueqi, who was unconscious and looking increasingly pale, was in urgent need of rest.

Finally, they decided to make some adjustments to recover their physical strength and energy and make plans later. "Okay... let's act according to the plan." Lin Feng forced a smile and turned to his companions. "Rest well tonight and make full preparations, then set off tomorrow morning to Lingshan to find the legendary mysterious object 'Nine Color Lotus' that can save lives!"

Everyone nodded silently in agreement with the arrangement, and then dispersed into the arranged rooms, closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing, striving to recover to the best condition in the shortest possible time to meet all the challenges that might be faced in the future...

At night, the town was shrouded in silence and seemed particularly peaceful. However, a faint light was still on in a simple wooden house, and inside sat a brave man who was anxiously waiting for the dawn to come so that he could embark on the journey again to save his friend's life...

The moonlight is as bright as mercury pouring down the edge of the windowsill, reflecting dots of light like stars in the night sky, flickering and outlining a dreamlike picture...

"A miracle will definitely happen." Li Feng murmured to himself softly. Although his voice was small, it sounded particularly clear and firm in the quiet night.

Lin Feng sat on the side of the bed and looked at Xueqi who was still unconscious. "No matter what, we will find an antidote to make you better. Just wait and see."

At dawn the next day, the four of them gathered together again and prepared to embark on a new journey. "Is everyone ready?" Lin Feng looked at his three companions and asked.

"I can't wait!" Zhao Yunlong laughed heartily and was the first to step out of the door.

"Well, let's go." Li Feng followed closely behind and said with the same confidence, keeping up with the pace...

Xueqi opened her eyes and smiled weakly. Although her body was still weak, the light in her eyes was brighter than ever, as if she was ready to face the unknown challenges ahead...

"Let's go!" Lin Feng took one last look at this quiet town that once took him in and secretly swore in his heart that no matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead was, he would move forward fearlessly and bravely until he achieved the final victory!
When the four of them stepped out of Cuizhu Town, the sky was already filled with a faint golden morning light. They knew that what awaited them ahead would be a more difficult challenge - finding the aliens and taking revenge. Lin Feng's eyes became more determined: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere to the end." (End of this chapter)
