I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

However, at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded, and then a panicked figure rushed out from the depths of the woods and collided with the three of them.

"Ouch!" The man exclaimed and fell to the ground. Zhao Qi and others quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked what happened.

The man calmed down and said in a trembling voice: "Are you from outside? Run...run! There are monsters in the depths of the forest, and they have eaten several people!"

Zhao Qi frowned: "Monster? Why are there monsters here?"

Yi Wuxiao asked curiously: "What kind of monster is it? What does it look like?"

The man shook his head: "I didn't see what it looked like clearly. I only heard a weird laugh, and then it disappeared. You'd better leave quickly and don't wander around here."

Lan Lingling looked at the man's frightened expression, then looked at the dark woods deep in the forest, and felt a little nervous. She pulled Zhao Qi's sleeve: "Brother Qi, we should listen to him and leave here."

However, Zhao Qi shook his head: "No, we can't leave like this. If there are really monsters causing trouble, we should stay and find out the truth."

Yi Wuxiao also agreed: "Yes, we are disciples of Tianyang Sect, how can we ignore death and not save him?"

Seeing that they were determined to investigate the situation, the man said nothing more and just told them to be careful. After the three said goodbye to the man, they walked deep into the forest.

The deeper they went, the dimmer the light in the forest became.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of birds breaking the tranquility. The three of them were a little nervous and clenched the weapons in their hands.

Suddenly, a weird laughter sounded, which was creepy. The three people immediately looked around vigilantly, but found nothing unusual. The laughter was getting closer and closer, as if it was echoing in their ears.

"Who's playing tricks over there? Come out quickly!" Zhao Qi shouted and slashed forward with his sword.

However, there was nothing where the sword passed, only the laughter still echoed.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also searched for the source of the sound, but found nothing. At this time, the laughter suddenly became sharp, as if something was approaching them quickly.

The three stood back to back, forming a defensive circle. Zhao Qi held the sword tightly and stood at the front, staring ahead solemnly. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling were also ready to take action at any time.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the depths of the woods and rushed towards Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi reacted quickly and faced him with his sword. However, the sword edge passed through the black shadow without causing any damage. The black shadow twisted for a while and then disappeared into the air, leaving only a strange laughter.

"What the hell is this?" Yi Wuxiao exclaimed, "Why can't even Brother Qi's sword hurt it?"

Lan Lingling frowned: "This black shadow does not seem to be an entity, but an illusion or a soul."

Zhao Qi nodded: "Yes, it is indeed not an entity. What we just saw was just its phantom. The real entity should still be hiding in the dark and observing us."

The three of them looked at each other and decided to split up to find the black shadow's body. After some searching, they finally found the black shadow in a remote corner - it turned out to be a creature with three eyes. A weird creature with six legs and a body covered in scales!

"What an ugly monster!" Lan Lingling couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is this the true form of the black shadow?"

Zhao Qi observed it carefully and said: "Yes, that's it! Although this monster looks ugly, its strength cannot be underestimated! We have to deal with it carefully!"

Yi Wuxiao was eager to try it: "Let me try how powerful it is!"

After saying that, he rushed forward and fought with the monster. Lan Lingling saw this and joined the battle closely. Zhao Qize stood aside and observed the battle, looking for a breakthrough.

Although the monster looks weird, its movements are extremely agile and flexible. Under the siege of Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling, it didn't lose at all and even had the upper hand!

Sometimes it used its claws to tear, sometimes it whipped with its tail, and sometimes it sprayed venom to attack the two of them, forcing them to retreat continuously to avoid the attack.

"This is not the way to go!" Yi Wuxiao shouted as he retreated, "This monster is too difficult to deal with! We have to find a way!"

Zhao Qi also saw the seriousness of the problem: "Yes! This monster is not only powerful, but also knows how to use the environment to fight! We must first destroy the environment around it before we can defeat it!"

Lan Lingling's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's right! We can use fire attacks! This monster is covered in scales and must be afraid of fire!"

Zhao Qi nodded: "What a good idea! Wuxiao, you are responsible for attracting its attention, Lingling, you are responsible for setting the fire, and I will find an opportunity to give it a fatal blow!"

After saying that, the three of them started acting according to the plan. Attracted by Yi Wuxiao, the monster fell into the trap and pounced towards him.

Lan Lingling took the opportunity to take out a small fire stick from her waist, ignited a ball of flame with a gentle blow, and threw it towards the monster.

The monster was so frightened that he turned around and tried to escape, but it was too late——

Zhao Qi took this opportunity to rush forward, swung his sword and struck it hard on its body!

There was just a crisp "click" sound, and the monster's body was split into two by Zhao Qi. It fell to the ground and struggled for a few times, then completely stopped moving...

In an ancient and mysterious forest, towering ancient trees stand like guardians.

The canopies of trees are intertwined, blocking most of the sunlight, making the interior of the forest look a bit dark and mysterious.

The breeze blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound, like the whisper of nature.

Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling walked through this ancient forest and felt the breath of nature.

Since they left Shadow Town, they have been on the road, experiencing countless adventures and challenges, and making many new friends. At this moment, they are exploring this unknown forest with curiosity and expectation.

"The atmosphere here is really ancient and mysterious." Zhao Qi sighed, and the sword in his hand trembled slightly, seeming to respond to his mood.

"Yes, there seems to be countless stories and mysteries here." Yi Wuxiao looked around, his eyes full of curiosity.

Lan Lingling sniffed the air gently and frowned slightly: "I seem to smell an unusual smell, everyone should be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange light suddenly flickered from the depths of the woods, attracting the attention of the three people. They walked in the direction of the light and gradually heard crisp laughter and melodious music. When they walked out of the woods, their eyes suddenly opened up, and they saw a group of elves playing happily on an empty grassland.

These elves are petite in stature, have transparent wings, have delicate and picturesque faces, and emit a faint light.

Some of them were flying in the air, some were chasing on the grass, and some were playing beautiful music, as if they were in a fairy tale world.

Seeing the arrival of Zhao Qi and others, the elves gathered around and looked at them curiously.

A leading elf stepped forward and said with a smile: "Welcome to our home, traveler from afar. I am the elf king of this forest, and my name is Qingfeng."

Zhao Qi and others quickly saluted and expressed their respect.

Qingfeng Elf King carefully looked at the sword in Zhao Qi's hand, and a flash of splendor flashed in his eyes: "This sword is really extraordinary. I feel that it contains powerful spiritual power and mysterious laws."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and briefly told the origin and experience of the sword.

The Qingfeng Elf King nodded after hearing this and said with emotion: "It turns out that this sword has such a legendary experience. No wonder it can attract our attention."

Yi Wuxiao asked curiously: "Elf King, you live in this ancient forest, you must know many stories and mysteries about this land, right?"

The Qingfeng Elf King smiled and nodded: "Yes, we elves exist in harmony with nature. We guard this ancient land and have witnessed its vicissitudes. There are countless stories and mysteries here, waiting for you. It’s up to the brave to discover.”

Lan Lingling's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then can we explore this mysterious forest with you? We also want to know the stories and mysteries here."

The Qingfeng Elf King readily agreed: "Of course, we welcome you to join us. Let us protect this ancient land together and uncover its mystery together."

So, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling walked with the elves and started a new journey of exploration.

Together they shuttled through the dense woods, feeling the magical charm of nature; together they listened to the ancient legends and mysterious stories told by the elves, and faced unknown challenges and adventures together.

In the process, they not only formed a deep friendship, but also gained endless happiness and growth.

And Zhao Qi's sword also received new experience and improvement during this journey.

With the help of the elves, he gradually understood the deeper spiritual power and laws contained in the sword. This sword not only became his most effective assistant, but also became a witness to the friendship between him and the elves.

In this ancient forest, Zhao Qi and others spent an unforgettable time.

Not only did they uncover the mysteries of this land, they also found their own inner courage and strength. And this journey has become one of the most precious memories in their lives.

As the journey progressed, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling gradually noticed an unusual atmosphere.

The originally peaceful and peaceful land seems to be hiding an undercurrent of evil force. On this day, they came to a desolate valley, surrounded by a strange and depressing atmosphere.

"There seems to be something wrong here." Zhao Qi said with a frown. The sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if sensing the dangerous atmosphere around him.

Yi Wuxiao looked around and found that there was not even a bird chirping in this valley, which seemed extremely quiet: "There is indeed a problem, we need to be more careful."

Lan Lingling whispered a spell and released a faint spiritual power to explore the surrounding situation.

However, her expression suddenly changed: "No, there is a strong evil atmosphere here. I'm afraid we have entered the territory of an evil force."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of eerie laughter suddenly came from all directions, which was terrifying. Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black jumped down from the cliffs on both sides of the valley and surrounded Zhao Qi and others.

"Who are you? How dare you break into our territory!" The leader of the men in black shouted coldly, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

Zhao Qi stood with his sword straight and looked at the man in black without fear: "We are just passing through this place on our journey and have no malicious intentions. But if you want to stir up trouble, we will accompany you to the end!"

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also quickly prepared for battle and stood side by side with Zhao Qi. Although their numbers are small, their momentum is not weak at all.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black. He waved his hands to signal his men to prepare for battle: "Since you are toasting and not eating as punishment, don't blame us for being rude! Go ahead and kill them!"

Following the order from the leader of the men in black, the surrounding men in black swarmed towards Zhao Qi and others like a tide.

They held a variety of weapons in their hands, and their attacks were fierce and fierce.

However, Zhao Qi and others are not ordinary people. They cooperated tacitly, attacked and defended in an orderly manner, and quickly neutralized the offensive attacks of the men in black.

The sword in Qi's hand shuttled across the battlefield like a dragon, and every swing of the sword could take away the life of a man in black.

The battle was extremely fierce, with both sides going back and forth and fighting inextricably.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also showed their strengths and provided strong support to Zhao Qi during the battle.

Yi Wuxiao's light kung fu skills make him a duck to water on the battlefield, while Lan Lingling's spells can cause fatal blows to the enemy.

Just as the battle was reaching its peak, a powerful aura suddenly fell from the sky and instantly enveloped everyone on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, an old man in black robe slowly fell from the sky, his eyes revealed deep majesty and murderous intent.

"You dare to run wild on my territory, you are so impatient!" The old man in black robe said coldly, his voice echoing in everyone's ears like a ghost.

Zhao Qi and others were shocked. They felt the powerful aura emanating from the black-robed old man and knew that this was an extremely difficult opponent. But they have no intention of backing down, but stand tall and ready to face new challenges.

"We didn't know this was your territory, but now that we're here, we're not afraid of any challenges!" Zhao Qi said.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the old man in black robe: "Okay, since you want to die, then I will help you!"

After saying that, he waved the man in black to retreat, and then walked towards Zhao Qi and others alone. Zhao Qi and others were also prepared to face this life and death battle. (End of chapter)
