Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Liu Qing handed him a glass of water: "You're welcome, we're all wanderers in this world. By the way, which village nearby are you from?"

The man took the water and took a sip. "I'm from Sanlipo Village, my name is Li Qiang. Recently, there has always been a group of masked people causing trouble here, making people panic."

Li Feng asked thoughtfully: "Where do they usually stay?"

Li Qiang hesitated for a moment. "It is said that they have set up camp in an abandoned mine, not too far from here. However, the terrain there is complicated, and ordinary people dare not approach easily."

Su Yu looked at Lin Feng and whispered, “This information may be useful to us.”

Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "That's right. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to investigate and find more clues."

Liu Qing nodded in agreement: "Well, if we can catch these guys, maybe we can find out what's going on with the Tianmen Sect." The few of them quickly discussed a simple action plan and decided to act immediately.

In the night, the group followed the direction provided by Li Qiang and quietly approached the abandoned mine. From a distance, they saw several lights flickering at the entrance of the mine, and it seemed that several people were standing guard at the door.

"Let's split up. Li Feng, Qin Yang and I will attract their attention from the front, while Liu Qing and Zhao Ming will go around to the back and encircle them." Lin Feng whispered.

Everyone nodded and acted according to their assigned tasks. Soon, the sound of swords clashing came from the front. The guards were fooled and quickly rushed to the direction of the sound.

At this time, Liu Qing and Zhao Ming had already quietly sneaked into the mine. It was pitch black inside the cave, and could only be illuminated by a fire stick. There was a strange smell in the air, as if it was hiding a secret that could not be told.

The two of them moved forward cautiously, and suddenly they heard someone talking in front of them.

"Those guys are really brave enough to force their way in, but that's just as well, since it saves us from having to look for them one by one."

Another voice rang out: "Yes, as long as we catch the guy holding the token, we will have made a great contribution! Then we will be promoted and get a raise in salary in no time!"

Liu Qing and Zhao Ming looked at each other, knowing that these words were extremely important to them. So they continued to approach quietly, wanting to hear more information about this organization.

However, at this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them. Apparently, someone was patrolling with a torch in hand. The two of them quickly dodged and hid in a dark corner, not daring to breathe.

"Boss, what's going on inside? Is there any new situation?" asked the patrolman.

The leading man sneered, "We haven't found any trace of them yet. They are probably still wandering around the periphery. Strengthen our vigilance and don't let them succeed!"

After these people walked away, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we were not discovered."

Zhao Mingze frowned, "What should we do now? We need to find a way to pass the message to others."

At this moment, there was a sudden loud explosion outside, accompanied by several screams. Everyone in the mine ran out in panic.

Liu Qing's eyes lit up: "Here comes the chance! Let's follow them now and see if we can catch their leader!"

As the battle outside the mine gradually ended, Lin Feng and his team successfully subdued a group of masked men, including several leaders who seemed to be of higher status. One of the masked men struggled and asked, "Who are you? Why did you want to mess with our situation?!"

Lin Feng raised the token in his hand and said calmly: "Because we represent justice. Tell me, who sent you to sabotage the Tianmen Sect?"

The man gnashed his teeth and said, "Humph, you will never know! Tianmen Sect is doomed to be destroyed..."

Li Feng took a step forward and looked at him coldly: "Do you think we will let you go easily?"

The other party's expression changed, but he still didn't speak.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. They were the two mysterious people who appeared at the edge of the town before. They walked slowly towards him with a faint smile on their faces.

"Well done, you have proven your abilities. Next, the real test will begin..." one of the mysterious men said meaningfully.

Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly and looked at the other party firmly: "No matter how many difficulties there are ahead, we will continue to move forward until all the truth is revealed."

Liu Qing gently held Lin Feng's hand and encouraged him with a smile: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will fight side by side. Because this is our common destiny."

At this time, on the distant mountains, a group of people from an unknown force were watching all this...

"This scene has just begun..." the leading man chuckled.

Several people stood in the mine, looking at the scene in front of them and feeling nervous. Lin Feng tightly grasped the token in his hand, his eyes firm and stern. Suddenly, two figures appeared at the entrance of the cave. They were the mysterious people who appeared at the edge of the town before. They slowly approached with a faint smile on their lips.

"Well done, you have proven your abilities. Next, the real test will begin..." said one of the mysterious men.

There was a firm look in Lin Feng's eyes: "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we will keep moving forward until all the truth is revealed."

Liu Qing gently held Lin Feng's hand and encouraged him with a smile: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will fight side by side. Because this is our common destiny."

Su Yu looked at the two mysterious people, full of doubts: "Who are you? Why do you want to help us? What is your purpose?"

One of the mysterious men smiled and said, "We are allies of the Tianmen Sect. As for our purpose, you will know it soon."

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the mine, and a villager rushed in, looking panicked: "Oh no! The village has been attacked! A group of men in black are looting supplies!"

Lin Feng frowned: "Let's go back quickly, we can't let those people succeed!"

Several people quickly rushed towards the village. On the way, they met many panicked villagers who asked them for help.

"Heroes, please, please save us!" an old woman cried.

"Don't be afraid, we will protect you." Lin Feng comforted.

When they arrived at the village, they found it in chaos, with the men in black frantically looting food and money. The villagers fled in all directions in despair.

"How dare these evil villains come here to cause trouble!" Qin Yang's eyes widened with anger. He drew his sword and prepared to rush forward.

Lin Feng waved his hand to stop him: "Calm down, don't be reckless. We need to think of a way to lure them together and concentrate our forces to annihilate them."

Zhao Ming suddenly had an idea: "I have an idea. We can take advantage of the terrain of the village. There is an alley here that leads to an open area outside the village. We can set up an ambush."

Liu Qing nodded: "Good idea, let's split up first, Li Feng and Su Yu will be responsible for leading them away, Qin Yang, Zhao Ming and I will set up an ambush."

Several people quickly separated and acted according to the plan. Li Feng and Su Yu pretended to be fleeing villagers and lured the black-clothed people into the alley. On the other side, Liu Qing and others buried hidden weapons and traps in the open area. The black-clothed people really chased into the alley, but were soon led to the pre-arranged trap area. With a loud bang, the black-clothed people fell into chaos.

"Haha, I didn't expect there was such a trick!" Lin Feng swung his sword at a man in black, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the man's throat.

"Boy, you still dare to resist?!" A man in black rushed over viciously, but was knocked down by Lin Feng with one move.

"You scum, I will wipe you all out today!" Liu Qing shouted sternly, and the sword in her hand flashed towards the enemy like lightning.

The battle lasted for a while, and finally, the last wave of men in black were subdued. The villagers' cheers resounded throughout the village.

"Great, we won!" a little boy shouted excitedly.

"Thank you, heroes! We don't know how to repay you." said a village chief with tears of gratitude.

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "This is just what we should do. The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the village and prevent it from being attacked again."

Liu Qing walked up to Lin Feng and asked in a low voice: "Do you think those two mysterious people will come again?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked into the distance: "They will definitely make the next move. However, what we have to do now is to prepare for the upcoming challenge."

The mysterious man smiled at Lin Feng and the others, and said slowly: "We are very satisfied with your performance. Now, we have a trial mission, which is very dangerous, but after success, you will gain the support and powerful strength of Tianmen Sect."

Li Feng frowned and asked, "What is the content of the trial?"

Another mysterious person continued, "The content of the trial is simple, but extremely dangerous. You need to enter a place called 'Dark Labyrinth', which is full of various traps and powerful enemies. Your task is to find the 'Stone of Light' hidden in the deepest part of the labyrinth. Only by getting this stone can you prove your ability."

Su Yu asked hesitantly, "What if we don't want to participate?"

The mysterious man shrugged and said calmly, "That's fine. This is a voluntary trial. But we promise that the benefits after completing the trial will far exceed your imagination."

Lin Feng looked at Liu Qing, Li Feng, Su Yu and others, and said firmly: "We have come this far and will not back down easily. We will accept this trial and prove our strength."

Liu Qing smiled slightly and clenched the sword in her hand: "I am willing to participate."

Li Feng nodded and said, "I agree too."

Qin Yang patted his chest and said, "Follow the brothers and never fall behind!"

Zhao Ming's eyes were firm: "Me too."

After several companions agreed, the mysterious man nodded with satisfaction and handed them a map and several tokens.

"This map will guide you into the dark maze. And these tokens can protect you at critical moments. Remember, you must complete the task within seven days." said the mysterious man.

Lin Feng took the map and token, examined them carefully, and then looked at the mysterious man: "So, when do we set off?"

"You can set off at any time," the mysterious man replied, "but I suggest you prepare first. After all, this is a life-and-death test."

After leaving the mine, they immediately started discussing how to prepare. They first went to the village and borrowed some dry food and water from the villagers, and then went to a grocery store to buy some necessities.

In the evening, they gathered in a small inn and sat together to discuss their plans.

"We will set off tomorrow morning," Lin Feng said, "Everyone should rest early tonight and keep plenty of energy."

Li Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare some first aid medicines and tools."

Liu Qing added: "I will also check our weapons and equipment to make sure everything is in perfect condition."

The next morning, several people took the necessary supplies and headed towards the dark maze according to the route on the map. Along the way, they were very careful and tried to avoid danger.

After several hours of trekking, they finally arrived at a dense forest filled with thick fog, which made people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Look, the entrance is in front." Liu Qing said, pointing to a huge rock in front.

When they got closer, they found many strange symbols carved on the boulder, which were obviously some kind of ancient writing.

"Is this the entrance to the dark maze?" Li Feng asked doubtfully.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yes, we should go in from here."

Just as they were about to enter, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily.

A voice came from behind the boulder: "You are here as expected. Welcome to the dark maze, which is full of unknowns and dangers. But as long as you can pass all the tests, you will get rich rewards."

Lin Feng clenched his fists and said firmly: "We are ready to meet all challenges."

The mysterious voice chuckled, "Very well, then we'll have to wait and see. Good luck."

After that, a ray of light flashed, and the boulder slowly split open, revealing a deep passage. The passage was pitch black, and only a faint fire could be seen in the distance.

"Let's go. We must face everything bravely." Liu Qing said firmly, leading everyone into the dark maze.

As they went deeper into the maze, the surroundings gradually became colder and the air became more humid. Suddenly, a low roar sounded, and several people stopped.

"Be careful, something is approaching!" Zhao Ming warned in a low voice.

In the darkness, pairs of eyes flickered in the firelight, as if observing them.

"Get ready for battle!" Lin Feng shouted, drew his sword, and prepared to fight the approaching enemy.

Liu Qing held the sword tightly, her eyes determined: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will fight side by side."

Several people immediately took up a fighting stance and looked around vigilantly. In the darkness, those eyes gradually approached, and finally several huge monsters jumped out from the shadows. These monsters were huge, covered with scales, and had fierce eyes.

"Wow, what a big thing!" Li Feng exclaimed in surprise, holding the sword in his hand tighter. (End of this chapter)
