This group of mysterious figures were all dressed in black and wore masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
One of the leading figures said, "Hand over the treasure box, and I will spare your lives!"
Mo Xi protected the treasure box behind him and said, "Don't even think about it! This treasure box is not something you can covet."
Mu Feng, holding a sword, stood beside Mo Xi and shouted angrily, "Come and rob if you dare!"
The mysterious figures stopped talking and drew their weapons, attacking them.
Mo Xi, Mu Feng and Mu Li immediately met the enemy, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
The strength of these mysterious people should not be underestimated, and Mo Xi and the others gradually felt a little tired.
"You like gang fights, don't you?" Mu Li said as she yelled, "Come out, babies!"
The next moment, a group of divine beasts appeared in front of everyone.
"Master! Are you finally willing to let us out?" The animals were extremely excited and eager to try.
"Train your troops for a thousand days and deploy them for a moment. Go!" Mu Li gave an order and all the beasts rushed forward and launched an attack on the mysterious man.
"Divine beasts? They are all ancient divine beasts?!" the mysterious leader said in shock and immediately fired a flare.
"Ali, they have accomplices. We must end the battle and leave here as soon as possible!" Mo Xi said quickly when he saw this.
"Okay. Let's end this quickly!" Mu Li shouted, and the beasts transformed into their original forms one by one, attacking the enemy frantically, and the battle ended in a few breaths.
"Master, the battle is over, no one is left alive!" The Nine Netherworld Butterfly came over and said.
"Okay, let's retreat!" Mu Li said as she sent the beasts back to the space, and then quickly left the place with Mo Xi and Mu Feng.
Not long after they left, another group of mysterious people arrived after hearing the news.
"They are all dead! The enemy is nowhere to be found!" one of them said after checking.
"Damn it! Who is it! How could they kill so many people in such a short time!" the leader asked in shock.
"Chief, there are traces of magic here. The enemy should have left from here!" At this time, a mysterious man said.
"Chase!"
"yes!"
A group of people chased in the direction Mu Li and the others left.
Mu Li and the others ran furiously, but the pursuers were also very fast. Just as they were about to be caught up, a misty forest suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Let's hide in the forest." Mo Xi suggested.
The three of them rushed into the forest without hesitation. The forest was full of strange atmosphere. The trees were tall and their branches were crisscrossed, as if covering the sky.
The mysterious man chased to the edge of the forest and stopped, hesitating whether to go in.
"Chief, this misty forest is very strange. It might not be a good idea to go in there," someone advised.
But the leader was determined to get the treasure box back. He gritted his teeth and said, "Divide into small teams and search forward."
Mu Li and his companions discovered a dilapidated ancient temple deep in the forest. As they approached, vines suddenly emerged from the surrounding area and trapped them.
At this moment, an old voice rang out: "Those who trespass will be killed." Mo Xi hurriedly shouted: "Senior, we were chased by evil people and accidentally entered this place. Please help us."
The voice fell silent for a moment, and the vines loosened.
"Thank you, senior." Mu Feng said gratefully.
At this moment, the mysterious men also followed the trail. Seeing the ancient temple, the leader shouted, "They must have entered the ancient temple. The treasure box must be inside. Charge!"
However, when they approached the ancient temple, a huge chasm suddenly appeared in the ground, and many mysterious people fell directly into it. The remaining people were frightened and retreated quickly.
"Chief, what should we do?" someone asked.
"Since we can't get in, let's just stay here and guard them. They will come out eventually!" said the leader.
"Yes." So a group of people set up camp on the spot, ready to wait and see.
After Mu Li and the other two entered the ancient temple, they found it filled with a chilling atmosphere. In the center of the hall stood a stone platform, engraved with strange runes. Mo Xi approached the platform and examined the runes carefully, sensing the powerful power they held.
Suddenly, the treasure box trembled slightly and emitted a soft light.
Mu Feng asked cautiously, "Did this treasure box sense any danger or opportunity?"
Mu Li reached out and touched the treasure box, trying to comfort it.
At this moment, pictures emerged on the wall, showing wars and magical spells from ancient times. It turned out that this ancient temple was a place where evil forces were sealed in ancient times, and the treasure box had a great connection with this place.
The treasure box's light grew stronger, and the images on the wall flickered more violently. Mu Li clutched the box tightly, worried about what might happen to it. Suddenly, the box broke free from Mu Li's grasp, slowly drifting toward the stone platform, finally landing steadily in its center. As if summoned, the runes shot beams of light toward the box.
Mo Xi realized something was amiss and tried to retrieve the treasure box. But before he could get close, a barrier repelled him. As the runes interacted with the treasure box, the ancient temple began to shake.
The mysterious people outside also noticed something was wrong, and the leader decided to risk entering the ancient temple. However, the chasm opened wide again, and more people fell in.
At this moment, the treasure box unleashed a tremendous amount of energy, weakening the seal of the evil force. A dark hand emerged from the ground. In her anxiety, Mu Li bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the treasure box. The treasure box instantly stopped moving, absorbed the drop of blood, and then shot out a powerful light at the dark hand, repelling it. At the same time, the shaking of the ancient temple ceased, the runes returned to calm, and the treasure box flew back into Mu Li's hands.
"What is going on?" Mu Feng asked in confusion.
"Could this colorful treasure box weaken the seal of evil power?" Mu Li guessed.
"What about my sister's blood? Why did it start attacking the Hand of Darkness after absorbing my sister's blood?" Mu Feng asked in confusion.
