After everyone rested for a while, the sky was slightly bright. They packed their bags and prepared to set off for the elves' ancestral land. Leah's healing skills helped everyone regain a lot of physical strength and their mental state improved a lot.

Chen Feng put on his bow and arrow and whispered, "We should speed up and try to reach the elves' territory before dark."

Yaton nodded: "That's right, be careful on the road, who knows what dangers you will encounter."

Elena glanced at the girl in the red cloak: "Are you coming with us? Or do you have other plans?"

The girl snorted coldly, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she finally said, "I will follow you, but I still won't trust anyone easily."

Xingyu smiled and said, "It's settled then, let's go together."

They passed through the dense forest, moving forward cautiously along the way, constantly on guard. After a few hours, they finally walked out of the dense forest and saw an open area in front of them.

"This area has open terrain and is easy to be discovered." Yaton frowned and said, "Try not to separate."

At this moment, there was a noisy sound from all directions, and a group of poorly equipped people rushed over with weapons in hand. Their faces were filled with greed and murderous intent, and they were obviously not ordinary thieves.

Casas gripped his battle axe tightly and shouted, "It looks like an organized attack!"

The girl's eyes turned cold, she drew her dagger, and rushed towards the nearest enemy. Her movements were as agile as lightning, and she dealt with the two attackers in an instant.

Elena drew her bow and arrow, and her accurate shooting allowed her to knock down three or four people in succession. However, the enemies seemed to be endless, rushing up in waves.

Yaton swung his sword, slashing left and right, blocking most of the attacks. "We must break out! Otherwise we will be trapped here!"

Chen Feng was shooting arrows while shouting a warning: "Everyone, watch your back! Someone is attacking us from behind!"

Sure enough, more than a dozen enemies rushed over from the rear, forming an encirclement. Su Ye and Xing Yu stood back to back, covering each other and resisting attacks from all directions.

Seeing this, Leah quickly cast healing magic to heal the injured teammates. "Hold on! I will protect you!"

The battle intensified. Although everyone was experienced in many battles, they were outnumbered and gradually fell into disadvantage. At this time, the girl showed her power again, like a red lightning, shuttling back and forth among the crowd. Each attack was deadly and swift, causing great trouble to the enemy.

"Who sent these people?" Elena roared, "We must find the flaw as soon as possible and break through the siege!"

The girl observed calmly for a while, and suddenly found the commander's position. "The tall guy over there is the leader! Kill him, and the remaining enemies will naturally collapse!"

Chen Feng took quick aim and shot an arrow accurately at the enemy leader. As the enemy fell, the other attackers began to waver and fled.

Finally, this sudden attack was over. Everyone was exhausted and sweating, but fortunately no one was seriously injured.

"It seems that this area is not safe either. We must leave as soon as possible!" Yaton urged, "Let's keep going!"

The girl nodded, her eyes still cold but less defensive. She walked in front of the team, as if she had become a natural vanguard.

The group crossed the wilderness and headed towards their goal. Night fell again, and the earth under the starry sky seemed unusually quiet. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it the sound of leaves rubbing against each other, and a sense of foreboding filled the air.

Elena stopped and listened attentively: "This sound is wrong..."

As soon as she finished speaking, several sharp darts came from the darkness. The girl keenly sensed the threat and immediately swung her sword to knock down the darts one by one.

Yaton looked around vigilantly: "It seems there is an ambush! Be careful, don't let the enemy take advantage of you!"

Leah clasped her hands together, and a light flashed. "I will use the light barrier to protect everyone."

Just as they were nervously responding, several nimble enemies jumped out from the woods. Unlike their rough outfits before, these people were wearing black night clothes and moved very quickly, obviously having undergone rigorous training.

Yaton stepped forward and fought with the enemy. Chenfeng quickly found a favorable terrain, played his long-range advantage, and frequently attacked the enemy. Elena, Su Ye and Xingyu also stepped forward and engaged in fierce close combat with the enemy.

The girl seemed to have found her own rhythm. Every movement was perfectly integrated, and she showed extraordinary strength both in offense and defense.

"This group of people is not simple!" Yaton shouted while panting, "We must be careful when dealing with them!"

Liya tried hard to maintain the shield, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "I can hold on for a while..."

The battle reached a stalemate, with both sides winning and losing, but neither side could easily gain the upper hand.

At this time, a loud whistle was heard in the distance, and the attackers retreated. Seeing this, the crowd did not pursue them, but quickly gathered together to count the casualties.

Fortunately, with everyone's efforts, although everyone was exhausted, no one suffered fatal injuries.

Elena looked around and whispered, "These enemies are obviously being instructed by someone. We must be more cautious just in case."

The girl nodded thoughtfully: "This place is indeed full of uncertainties. But no matter what happens, I will never trust outsiders easily again."

Yaton smiled softly and patted her shoulder: "It's okay, we will solve the problem step by step. Let's find a hidden place to set up camp tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."

Elena nodded and looked into the distance. "Okay, let's act together. We must not let the dangerous situation like that happen again."

Su Ye and Xing Yu looked at each other and said softly, "Don't worry, we will always remain vigilant."

The group quickly found a relatively secluded valley and set up a simple sentry post. It was dark and quiet all around. Everyone took turns to guard to ensure that there would be no emergencies.

Just as the first round of vigil ended and the guards were changing, Aton gently touched the girl's arm.

"You've worked hard, so go to bed early. Leave the rest to us."

The girl looked up at him with a complicated look in her eyes, and finally responded calmly, "I will, but don't forget what you promised."

Arden smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the campfire.

Elena walked over to sit next to Leah and asked softly, "How do you feel today? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Liya shook her head slightly and smiled tiredly: "It's okay, I'm fine. It's just that I feel like this will never end..."

Elena gently held her hand and comforted her softly, "It will end eventually. If we work together, we will achieve our goal soon."

The two smiled at each other, and warmth spread quietly at this moment.

"I hope so." Leah closed her eyes, feeling the tranquility and peace of mind at this moment.

After a night's rest, the group continued to move towards Fengdu Dynasty the next morning. The scenery along the way gradually changed from open wilderness to rolling mountains, and the air was filled with a light mist, adding a sense of mystery to this journey.

As they were passing through a dense forest, they suddenly heard a loud noise, as if someone was arguing and fighting. Everyone immediately became alert and quietly approached the source of the sound to observe the situation.

In an open space not far away, a group of ragged people were being forced back by several monks. The monks were wearing long robes, holding staffs or swords, and their eyes were full of greed and cruelty. Obviously, they were robbing these ordinary people.

Yaton whispered, "These people don't look good. We have to be careful."

Elena tightened the bow in her hand, her eyes firm: "We can't just stand by and watch someone die."

Chen Feng had already prepared his shooting position: "Leave it to me. Kill one first, and the others will be easy to deal with."

Leah was ready to cast a spell to protect everyone and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. "I'm ready. I'll support you at any time."

The girl silently clenched her dagger, a sharp look flashing in her eyes. Su Ye and Xing Yu also took their respective fighting stances, waiting for instructions.

"Action!" Atton's command, everyone rushed out. Elena was the first to shoot several arrows, nailing two of the monks to the ground, causing screams of pain.

"Who! How dare you meddle in other people's business?" The leading monk was furious, swinging his sword, and blue lightning struck in the direction of Elena. The girl dodged swiftly and killed an enemy who tried to attack Su Ye with her backhand.

"Damn it... Who are you? How dare you attack us!" Another monk cursed angrily, but soon fell down because of Chen Feng's accurate arrow through the heart.

Leah chanted a spell, and instantly a barrier of light was deployed to cover everyone. "Fight with confidence, we won't be attacked here for the time being!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yaton led Su Ye and Xing Yu into the enemy group and defeated several monks in a lightning-fast manner. However, at this moment, a figure hidden in the dark suddenly appeared. His magic power was much stronger than that of his other companions. In an instant, he released a strong flame shock wave, which directly hit Yaton's arm.

"Captain!" Chen Feng exclaimed, and quickly aimed at the newly appeared powerful opponent and shot several arrows in succession, but unfortunately they were all waved away by him.

Elena hurried over to help Yaton deal with his wounds. "Can you still hold on?"

He gritted his teeth and nodded, "No problem, keep fighting." Then he stood firm and joined the battle again.

The girl was not impatient at this time, but seemed unusually calm. She quickly scanned the surroundings and found a few small objects that could be used to leverage the opponent's force. She immediately started a new round of counterattacks - she cleverly used rocks, branches and other available objects in the environment as cover, shuttled between the enemies to create chaos, and forced the powerful enemy who originally had the upper hand to divert his attention to chase her everywhere.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the monk who looked like a leader suddenly shouted to his men: "Retreat! That's all for today!" As soon as the words fell, the remaining few people quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the enemy disappear from sight. Although they did not completely destroy the enemy, they at least protected innocent civilians and caused heavy losses to the criminals.

Elena walked up to the rescued people and asked, "Excuse me, are you willing to come with us to a safe place? We will do our best to ensure everyone's safety on the way."

One of them, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader, responded with gratitude: "Thank you very much for saving our lives, heroes! We are willing to go with you."

Yaton nodded in agreement: "Okay, then everyone please follow us closely."

So more than a dozen new faces joined the team. Although the speed was a little slower, the morale was much higher. The girl walked in front of the team to explore the way, and was more vigilant than before; Su Ye and Xing Yu kept patrolling the periphery to ensure that everything was safe; Elena was responsible for scouting the distant movements; Liya was always ready to deal with emergencies... In this way, with mutual support, they gradually went deeper into a new area that was more unknown and full of challenges.

As the sun was about to set, the outline of a town finally appeared faintly in the distance - this was probably the destination they were looking for next.

"We're almost there..." Yaton smiled and turned to look at his companions. "No matter what, we have come this far. There must be many difficulties ahead for us to overcome."

Liya responded softly: "Yes, but we are a team. As long as we are united, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Elena smiled and nodded, then patted the backpack behind her: "Have a good rest tonight, and we will officially enter Fengdu City tomorrow!"

“I hope we can find the answers we want there.” The boy pondered for a moment and then spoke, “Besides, I always feel that… this is just the beginning.”

The girl looked up at the darkening sky ahead, her eyes flickering: "Yes, I think so too. Anyway, let's wait and see."

The next morning, the group packed up and continued to move towards Fengdu City. The sun gradually rose higher, casting warm sunlight, bringing a glimmer of hope to this journey full of unknowns and challenges. The girl walked in front of the team, observing the surroundings vigilantly. Although they were exhausted from the battle last night, everyone was in high spirits and full of confidence.

"Aton, do you think we can enter Fengdu City smoothly this time?" Leah asked softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Yaton smiled softly: "I believe we will succeed. After all, we are not people who give up easily."

Su Ye and Xing Yu walked on both sides of the team, closely monitoring the surroundings to ensure that there were no sneak attacks from the enemy. Chen Feng remained alert at all times, with his bow and arrow ready to respond to any emergency.

As they were walking on a path, a shrill scream suddenly came from the front. Everyone immediately stopped and looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.

"What's going on? Is it a trap?" Elena quickly put the arrow on the string and held the bow tightly to prepare for possible danger. (End of this chapter)
