Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Hearing this, Zhao Yunlong frowned, "So, all this is a trap set by you?"

The man in black smiled calmly: "You can say that. But this is not a meaningless game. Only warriors who have proven themselves to be strong enough can set foot on the road to the Mountain of Gods and Demons."

Lin Feng's eyes gradually became firm, "Then we will accept this test! Since this is the rule, we will follow it."

"Okay," the man in black nodded approvingly, "I look forward to seeing your true strength. Let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he launched another attack. However, this time, his movements were more fierce, and each attack was as fast as thunder. But facing such a challenge, Lin Feng and his partners were not afraid. Everyone showed their strongest fighting power and vowed to stand out in the test.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and everyone present showed their expertise to the fullest. Finally, after a round of fierce fighting, the man in black stopped, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Congratulations on passing the trial."

After saying this, the man in black handed over an ancient key inlaid with colorful gems, which looked particularly dazzling in the night. "With this key, you can open the door to your destination in the temple on the top of the mountain. I wish you good luck."

Lin Feng took the key, and his heart was filled with unprecedented determination. "Thank you for your guidance, we will definitely live up to your expectations! Next, let's continue to move forward, partners."

Xiao Ran patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, no matter how difficult the road is, there will be an end. Let's work hard together!"

The mysterious woman gently held the crystal in her hand, with a determined look in her eyes, "We will succeed... no matter what."

The team reorganized their equipment, marched towards the starlight, and bravely moved forward towards the unknown goal...

Just as they were about to set off, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the depths of the dense forest, as if something was approaching rapidly.

Everyone held their weapons tightly and waited with bated breath.

The footsteps in the deep forest were getting closer and closer, and everyone quickly prepared for battle. Just as they were concentrating on being alert, a petite figure walked out of the darkness. It was a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old, wearing ancient clothes, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes flashing with a light that did not match her age.

"Hey? There are some interesting guests here!" The little girl's voice was clear and sweet, with an innocent smile on her face. However, this smile seemed very strange in the night, making everyone shiver involuntarily.

Zhao Yunlong was the first to break the silence and asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The little girl tilted her head and smiled playfully: "I am the guardian here! I haven't seen new faces for a long time. Where are you from?"

The mysterious woman narrowed her eyes slightly. She felt a little uneasy. "Little friend, it is very dangerous to walk alone in the forest late at night. You should go home as soon as possible."

"Home?" The little girl seemed to not understand the word. She shook her head and said, "I don't have a home. This is my territory."

Lin Feng felt that things were not simple. He took a step forward and said calmly but firmly, "Little girl, we have an important mission to complete. Please don't hinder us."

The little girl's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Important mission? Do you want to go to the top of the mountain? I know there is a treasure there!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Xiao Ran lowered his voice and said to Lin Feng: "There is something wrong with this little girl, be careful."

At this moment, the little girl suddenly shook her body, disappeared from her original position, and instantly appeared in the middle of the team. "Don't leave, play with me for a while!" Her voice was a little colder.

Zhao Yunlong drew out his sword and stabbed at the little girl, but the tip of the sword passed through an illusory figure, as if it had not touched anything.

"Wow, why are you adults so fierce? I just want to find someone to chat with." The little girl returned to her original posture and said innocently.

Lin Feng was suspicious and whispered to the mysterious woman beside him: "What do you think she is doing? Why can she avoid the attack so easily?"

The mysterious woman frowned, "Her abilities are very strong, she is not an ordinary person. Be careful not to be used by her."

While they were talking, the little girl suddenly showed a hideous smile, "How boring, you are so boring. In this case, let me show you the real me!"

As the words fell, the little girl's body gradually swelled, and her clothes turned into rags and flew away. Her originally cute face became horrible, and she turned into a white-haired, scary old monster. Her eyes emitted a faint green light, and she laughed hoarsely: "Humph, an old witch who has lived for thousands of years will not let you go easily! I will suck you dry!"

Everyone in the team gasped, realizing that the little girl in front of them was an extremely tough opponent. Lin Feng immediately shouted, "Everyone, get ready. Don't let her hurt anyone!"

Before he finished speaking, the old monster had already stretched out his withered fingers, and a dark purple energy ball condensed at his fingertips. Zhao Yunlong leaped up and swung his sword to chop at it, but the moment the blade touched the energy ball, it bounced away. Then, the energy ball shot towards Lin Feng like a cannonball.

At the critical moment, the mysterious woman quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted a spell. A dazzling light enveloped Lin Feng, forming a solid protective shield. The energy ball hit the protective shield with a loud noise, but was bounced back.

Seeing this, the old monster's eyes flashed with surprise, "There is still someone who can block my attack? How interesting. But it's more fun this way!"

She waved her hand again, and the surrounding trees seemed to have received some kind of command and began to grow wildly. Vines attacked from all directions, tightly binding the team.

"Cut those vines!" Lin Feng shouted. Xiao Ran reacted very quickly, the dagger in his hand flashed like lightning, and he cut off several thick branches close to him in a few strokes. Others also fought back hard, trying to break free.

The old monster sneered, "Want to struggle? Let's see who is stronger!"

She opened her palm, and a huge black flame emerged, ready to release a fatal blow. At the critical moment, the man in black appeared again in the night sky and shouted: "Stop! You are breaking the rules by doing this!"

Hearing this, the old monster hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly retracted the black flame in his hand. "Okay, for your sake, I will spare these people for now. But one day..."

After saying that, she turned around and disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving only a creepy atmosphere in the air.

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief and explained to everyone, "This old monster is one of the guardians of the God and Demon Mountain. Although his methods are cruel, he does not attack randomly. You are lucky to have escaped today. Keep going, there are more tests waiting for you ahead." Lin Feng nodded and looked at the man in black gratefully, "Thank you for your timely help, we will be more cautious."

The man in black smiled slightly, "I hope you can reach the end safely. Goodbye, warriors."

With his departure, the forest returned to its former tranquility. Lin Feng led everyone to repack their luggage and set off on a new journey. "Come on, everyone, we must reach our destination!"

Zhao Yunlong wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we must not give up. Let's go!"

The team continued to move forward in the dark, heading towards a direction full of unknowns and challenges. The stars were shining brightly, as if guiding them in the direction of light...

The team continued to move forward, passing through the dense forest and entering a deeper area. The night was as dark as ink, but the stars were extremely bright, illuminating the road ahead for them. Suddenly, Zhao Yunlong stopped and pointed to an open area in front and said, "Look over there, there's something wrong with that well."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a dilapidated dry well hidden in the weeds. The well was overgrown with weeds and vines, and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.

Xiao Ran frowned. "How can there be a well in such a remote place? There is no sign that anyone has lived here."

Lin Feng walked forward and observed carefully. "It is indeed a little suspicious. But there are no signs around it. Is there any secret hidden in this well?"

"Anyway, we should explore it first." The mysterious woman suggested, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in her eyes.

Therefore, the team decided to check the dry well first. Xiao Ran took out a torch, lit it and threw it into the well. The fire illuminated the dark bottom of the well. Some strange runes could be vaguely seen on the wall of the well, and there was a spiral stone staircase leading to the depths.

"There seems to be another world at the bottom of this well!" said Zhao Yunlong.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, "It seems we have to go down and take a look. But everyone must be careful, this place may be full of unknown dangers."

After that, he took the lead and walked down the stone stairs carefully, trying to be cautious with every step. The other team members followed closely behind him, and everyone was concentrating on guarding against any unexpected situation.

After walking dozens of steps, a spacious platform suddenly appeared at the end of the stone stairs. In the center was an ancient circular gate, which was also engraved with strange symbols.

"Is this the entrance?" Xiao Ran asked in a low voice.

"That's right." The mysterious woman observed the symbols carefully. "These runes are in a very ancient language, recording some kind of spell."

"Then try to push this door open." Lin Feng pushed hard a few times and found that the door actually opened slowly, revealing a tunnel leading to darkness.

A cold breath blew in, making people shiver. "Are you ready?" Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the team members. "We are going to go deep into the ruins. I don't know what will be waiting for us inside."

"Of course I'm ready!" Xiao Ran answered proudly, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.

The mysterious woman smiled slightly, with a confident light in her eyes: "As long as we unite, there is nothing we can't solve."

The three of them walked into the tunnel, and the light suddenly dimmed, leaving only the faint light of the torches in their hands. They passed through the long and narrow passage and finally came to a wide underground space. The walls were covered with carvings, depicting the prosperity of ancient civilizations and some unrevealed secrets.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the distance, and the ground shook slightly. "Oh no, it seems that there are creatures living in it." Lin Feng said vigilantly.

Immediately afterwards, several huge monsters walked out from the depths of the darkness. Their skin was iron-gray, their eyes emitting red light, and they kept roaring from their mouths.

"Get ready for battle!" Zhao Yunlong drew out his sword, eager to try.

A fierce battle began, the number of monsters was more than expected, they were ferocious and cunning, and one blow was fatal. Despite this, everyone still fought hard to meet the enemy, relying on tacit cooperation to resolve the crisis time and time again.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the number of monsters gradually decreased. Just when everyone thought it was about to end, the most powerful monster appeared. It was several times larger than its companions, covered with armor, and its attack was as fierce as thunder.

"This thing is not simple!" Xiao Ran was dealing with it while looking for flaws.

At the critical moment, the mysterious woman quickly chanted a spell and set up a complex magic circle on the ground. As the last sentence was finished, the magic circle burst into dazzling light, forming a circle of barrier that enveloped the monster and temporarily restrained its movements.

"Now is the best chance!" Lin Feng shouted, rushed forward and swung the weapon in his hand with all his strength, finally severely injuring the beast. After struggling for a few times, it fell to the ground with a bang and stopped moving completely.

After a short rest, the team continued to explore the ancient ruins, solving many traps along the way. Finally, in the core area of ​​the ruins, they found a huge inscription with the key clue to the treasure.

"It seems that our goal is about to be achieved." Lin Feng stroked the inscription lightly with a firm look in his eyes.

"Next, this should be the real end." Xiao Ran smiled expectantly.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the air around them suddenly became icy cold. Lin Feng looked up suddenly and found a hidden passage quietly opened, "There! There is a new exit!"

"Let's go and find out what's going on." Zhao Yunlong took the lead.

The mysterious woman shook her head slightly and whispered to herself: "I always feel that there are greater tests waiting for us..."

The three of them slowly moved forward along the newly appeared secret passage, the torches in their hands emitting a faint light. The air was extremely humid, and every step they took could be heard echoing on the stone slabs. Zhao Yunlong clenched his sword, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"Something feels wrong here." Lin Feng whispered, "Everyone be careful." (End of this chapter)
