Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

The group quickly crossed the fields outside the town and headed southeast towards Lingshan. On the way, Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng looked back at Xueqi from time to time to make sure she kept up with the team.

"How do you feel?" Li Feng asked with concern. He noticed that Xueqi's steps were a little unsteady.

"It's okay, I can still hold on." Xueqi forced a smile, but her pale face told it all.

"Don't be so stubborn, we have to find the 'Nine-Colored Lotus' as soon as possible." Zhao Yunlong added.

Just as they were about to move forward, suddenly, a shadow passed through the sky. Everyone immediately became alert and looked up, only to see a group of huge flying beasts circling in the air. The one leading the group was even bigger, covered in strange armor, and exuding an extraordinary aura.

"It's an alien!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, drawing his sword and heading into the air.

"Everyone be careful, this may be the enemy's reconnaissance force!" Zhao Yunlong also quickly drew out his two swords and prepared for battle.

The flying beasts gradually approached, and the leading one suddenly swooped down, aiming directly at Xueqi. Seeing this, Lin Feng and Li Feng quickly rushed forward, waving their weapons to block the attack of the flying beasts. For a moment, the air was filled with the sound of metal colliding and fierce roars.

"Quick! Take Xueqi and retreat!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, but he stood in front without hesitation.

"Okay!" Li Feng responded, picked up the weak Xueqi and quickly retreated.

At this time, more flying beasts joined the battle, and the encirclement quickly tightened. Lin Feng and Zhao Yunlong fought hard, but the number and strength of the enemy far exceeded their expectations, and the situation became more critical.

"We can't go on like this!" Zhao Yunlong panted, "We must find a way to break out!"

"Listen to me, you go first!" Lin Feng ordered decisively, "I'll cover you!"

"No! Let's go together!" Li Feng retorted, but Xueqi in his arms made a weak voice: "Don't...don't delay...you'll be a burden to everyone...hurry up...go..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield. He was wearing silver-white armor, holding a huge axe that flashed with cold light, and his eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness.

"So it's here!" The stranger snorted coldly, his eyes sweeping across the battlefield, "Hand over that human woman, and I can spare your lives."

Lin Feng gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Don't even think about it! We are going to defeat you!"

However, the combined attack of several people failed to hurt the opponent at all. The strange warrior was as solid as a rock.

"Stupid!" the stranger sneered, and swung the giant axe violently. The powerful force created a gust of wind that almost blew Lin Feng and others away.

"Let's go! It will be too late if we don't leave now!" Zhao Yunlong shouted and forcibly grabbed Li Feng and Lin Feng who wanted to continue fighting. The three of them hugged Xueqi and fled into the depths of the forest with all their might.

Behind them came the roar of a stranger, and countless flying beasts followed closely behind. The four of them jumped and shuttled through the woods, using the complex terrain to try their best to shake off the pursuers. Finally, under the cover of a dense forest, they found a secret cave to hide temporarily.

"Is it safe here?" Li Feng asked, panting, and gently put Xueqi down.

"Take a breath first." Lin Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back, "At least they won't be able to find this place for a while."

Xueqi opened her eyes slightly and smiled gratefully, "Thank you... Thank you..."

"You're welcome." Lin Feng stroked her cheek gently, "We will save you."

There were bursts of howling sounds from flying beasts outside, as if they were still searching for them.

"We must find the Nine-Colored Lotus as soon as possible," Zhao Yunlong said seriously, "and we must avoid the eyes and ears of the aliens. We can't let them catch us like they did today."

"Then let's set off quickly." Lin Feng said firmly, "We must make those guys pay the price!"

The few of them reorganized their equipment and carefully left their hiding place. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the woods onto them, bringing a touch of warmth and strengthening their determination to move forward.

"We must find the antidote and save Xueqi no matter what!" Li Feng said with clenched fists.

"Yes," Zhao Yunlong nodded in agreement, "Also, we can't let them continue to harm this land."

Lin Feng looked into the distance with a determined look in his eyes, "Let's go, there will be more challenges waiting for us on the road ahead."

Just like that, the four companions once again embarked on an unknown journey. Their steps were unwavering, heading towards the legendary sacred mountain to meet the upcoming new wave of challenges.

At night, they took a break by a remote river and lit a bonfire to keep warm. Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng took turns to keep watch, while Lin Feng stayed by Xueqi's side to protect her safety.

"We will definitely find the 'Nine-Colored Lotus'." Li Feng whispered to himself towards the night sky, as if he was encouraging himself and cheering up his teammates.

"That's right. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will overcome it together." Zhao Yunlong echoed.

Lin Feng gently stroked Xueqi's face and whispered, "I will definitely find it, definitely."

The night breeze was blowing gently and the campfire was swaying, but the hearts of the four adventurers became more determined and they looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

As the night deepened, the four of them sat around the bonfire by the river, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. Zhao Yunlong was about to hand over the night watch duties to Li Feng when he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.

"Do you feel something is wrong?" Zhao Yunlong said vigilantly, looking up at the dark woods around him.

Lin Feng also noticed it, and he slowly tightened his grip on the sword. "It's indeed a bit strange, I feel like something is approaching."

Li Feng and Xueqi also became nervous. Xueqi barely supported her body, her eyes fixed on the darkness.

At this moment, a low murmur came from not far away, as if some ancient language was being chanted. Several people quickly stood up and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Who is it?" Li Feng shouted, the weapon in his hand ready to deal with any sudden danger.

They were met with an eerie silence, but the sound continued, as if getting closer. Then they spotted an ancient oil lamp flickering faintly on a boulder by the river.

"What is this? Why is it here?" Lin Feng asked with a frown, and slowly walked towards the oil lamp.

The oil lamp emitted a soft and mysterious light, as if it contained some powerful power. Just as Lin Feng reached out to touch it, the light of the oil lamp suddenly surged, and the dazzling white light made everyone close their eyes.

As the light faded, a twisted figure appeared in front of everyone - a demon with black energy all over his body. His eyes were full of greed and murderous intent, which made people shudder. "What is this place?" The demon asked in a low and hoarse voice, "How dare you disturb my sleep?"

Lin Feng immediately drew out his sword and stood in front of everyone, "We don't mean to disturb you, leave here immediately!"

The demon sneered, "Foolish human, since you have entered my territory, you must be prepared to pay the price!"

As he spoke, the demon waved his arms, and the surrounding trees were twisted by the power of darkness, turning into sharp vines that attacked the people. Several vines instantly entangled the hands and feet of Li Feng and Zhao Yunlong, making it difficult for them to move.

"Get out of the way!" Lin Feng shouted, swinging his sword to cut off several approaching vines. But he soon realized that the number of these vines far exceeded their ability to cope with.

"Everyone be careful, this thing is hard to deal with!" Li Feng struggled to warn, trying to break free.

Xueqi stood weakly aside. Although she could not fight, the light in her eyes did not diminish. "Don't let him take the oil lamp away!"

Hearing Xueqi's words, Lin Feng immediately understood and turned to rush towards the ancient oil lamp. However, the demon was well prepared and a strong dark energy hit Lin Feng directly. He could only dodge hastily and almost lost his balance.

"Humph, you still want to take my treasure?" The devil approached with a grim smile, and the dark power around him became more and more heavy.

"Let's go together!" Zhao Yunlong finally broke free from his restraints, waving his two swords and charging towards the demon together with Li Feng.

The three of them worked closely together, but the demon's strength was far beyond their imagination. The dark vines seemed to be alive, constantly regenerating, forcing the three of them to have nowhere to hide.

Just as the situation became increasingly critical, Xueqi forced herself to stand up and slowly walked towards the oil lamp. "Let me try." She whispered, stretching out her slender fingers and gently touching the oil lamp.

Suddenly, the light of the oil lamp changed miraculously, from soft to dazzling, and a warm and pure power surged out of it. This power penetrated the darkness and hit the devil's heart directly.

"Ah!" The demon let out a scream, and his black body began to tremble violently.

"Now is the chance!" Lin Feng seized the opportunity and rushed forward, slashing the demon with his sword with the sound of breaking wind. Li Feng and Zhao Yunlong attacked at the same time, and the weapons of the three of them hit the demon's body at the same time.

The demon roared loudly, and the power of darkness began to dissipate. Finally, with the last roar, the demon turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

They were all panting and covered in sweat. The warm light from the oil lamp seemed to bring them hope.

"You did a great job, Xueqi." Lin Feng walked to Xueqi and gently supported her.

"I just...try to feel its power." Xueqi smiled, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"We can't delay any longer." Zhao Yunlong reminded, "Hurry and find the Nine-Colored Lotus before daybreak."

Li Feng nodded in agreement, "Let's go, the road ahead may be more difficult."

Lin Feng held the oil lamp and felt a strange power flowing in his hand. "With this, it may help us better resist unknown dangers."

The four of them geared up and set out again, passing through the dark forest and heading towards Lingshan. On the small road at night, their steps became more determined, with new hope in their hearts.

"We will definitely find it, right?" Li Feng whispered towards the front, as if to cheer himself up.

"Of course we will find it." Zhao Yunlong responded firmly, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will overcome it together."

"Yeah." Lin Feng smiled slightly and looked at Xueqi beside him with gentle eyes.

Xueqi's eyes were just as bright and determined. Although her body was still weak, her heart was stronger than ever.

"Let's move forward together." Lin Feng said finally, and the figures of the four people gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The night was dark, and the cold wind in the forest gradually became biting. The four of them quickened their pace, passing through the dense trees and heading towards Lingshan. Their goal was getting closer and closer, but the road ahead was becoming more and more dangerous.

"How long will it take us to reach Lingshan?" Li Feng asked as he walked. He looked around vigilantly from time to time, fearing that another accident might occur.

Zhao Yunlong took out a simple map and said, "If everything goes well, we will be able to see Lingshan Mountain in about half an hour. But the terrain here is very complicated, so we need to be extra careful."

Xueqi gritted her teeth and tried to keep up with the three people. Although she was exhausted, her eyes were still full of determination. "I'm fine, let's keep going."

Lin Feng gently put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Take a rest. It looks safe here." He sat down under a big tree and handed a piece of dry food to Xueqi, "Eat something to replenish your energy."

Several people sat under the tree and shared some dry food and water. Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng took turns observing the surrounding situation to ensure that there were no potential threats.

Suddenly, a strange sound broke the silence. Several people immediately stood up and looked around vigilantly.

"That voice again?" Li Feng frowned and drew out his sword.

Lin Feng clenched the oil lamp in his hand, feeling the warm and pure power seemed to be responding to something, "It seems that it is not just a defensive weapon for us."

Zhao Yunlong quickly walked to Lin Feng's side and said, "No matter what, we can't let this power fall into the hands of the evil."

At this moment, several dark figures appeared in the woods, holding sharp weapons and with fierce eyes, obviously they were here with ill intentions.

"It seems we are being targeted." Zhao Yunlong said coldly, waving his two swords in a defensive posture.

The leading man in black sneered, "You have a lot of treasures on you, right? Hand them all over, and we will spare your lives!"

"Dream on!" Li Feng shouted angrily and rushed towards the enemy first.

The two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle. Zhao Yunlong wielded his two swords flexibly to resist the attacks of multiple enemies; Li Feng attacked with a quick sword, constantly forcing his opponents back. Lin Feng protected Xueqi, dealing with the enemies while protecting the oil lamp from damage.

The battle was extremely fierce, the enemies were not only numerous but also powerful. The few of them gradually felt overwhelmed and the situation became increasingly critical.

At this critical moment, a familiar figure appeared on the battlefield. She was wearing a white dress and holding a staff that emitted a soft glow. It was Su Yu, the female Taoist priest who had helped them before.

"My friends, I'm here to help you!" Su Yu chanted the spell softly, and the light on the top of the staff became stronger and stronger. (End of this chapter)
