At this moment, the mysterious man seemed to sense their presence. He suddenly stopped chanting and slowly turned around. He was wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of red eyes, which were gloomy and evil.
"You shouldn't have come here. Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving," the mysterious man said in a low voice, filled with murderous intent. As he finished speaking, black smoke quickly spread around them, enveloping Lin Yu and the other two. Within the smoke, the distorted faces became clearer, their fangs bared as they lunged towards them, as if to devour them.
"Be careful! There's something wrong with this smoke!" Lin Yu shouted, waving his weapon in an attempt to disperse the approaching faces. However, the weapon passed through the faces, seemingly passing through the air, without any effect. At this moment, Lin Yu's heart was filled with anxiety and fear. He had never encountered such a strange situation before and didn't know how to respond.
Ye Li quickly pulled some special powder from her backpack and sprinkled it toward the smoke. The powder dispersed in the air, emitting a faint glow. The distorted faces, illuminated by the light, seemed to be restrained, their movements becoming sluggish. "This powder dispels evil forces. It can temporarily suppress the smoke, but it won't last. We must find a way to deal with this mysterious person!" Ye Li shouted, a hint of anxiety in her voice. She knew that this powder was only a temporary solution. They had to find a way to defeat the mysterious person quickly, otherwise, once the powder's effect wore off, they would be in even greater danger.
Zhao Yang took advantage of the moment when the smoke was suppressed and rushed towards the mysterious man. He raised his weapon and slashed at the mysterious man fiercely. However, the mysterious man was not in a hurry. He gently raised his hand and a black energy shot out from his hand, hitting Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang was hit by the energy and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
"Zhao Yang!" Lin Yu and Ye Li shouted at the same time. Lin Yu's heart was filled with anger and worry. He had not expected the mysterious man to be so powerful. He quickly ran to Zhao Yang and helped him up. "How are you?" Lin Yu asked anxiously.
Zhao Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine. This bastard is too powerful. We are no match for him." Zhao Yang's heart was filled with unwillingness. He didn't expect that his attack would be so easily resolved by the mysterious man.
Lin Yu looked at the mysterious man, his eyes revealing determination. "We can't give up. There must be a way to defeat him. Ye Li, think about it again. Is there any way to break his power?" Lin Yu said. He placed his hope on Ye Li, hoping that she could find a solution from the perspective of mysticism.
Ye Li thought quickly, and suddenly, she remembered the symbols on the stone platform. "Perhaps we can use the symbols on the stone platform to decipher his power. Those symbols may be the key to activating some kind of defense mechanism or sealing his power. But we need time to decipher and trigger them." Ye Li said, her eyes revealing a glimmer of hope, but at the same time, she also understood that they didn't have much time.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Okay, you go study the symbols, and Zhao Yang and I will try our best to hold him back. But you have to be quick, we don't know how long we can hold on." Lin Yu knew that this was a race against time. They had to withstand the attack of the mysterious man before Ye Li deciphered the secret of the symbols.
Lin Yu and Zhao Yang rushed towards the mysterious man again, brandishing their weapons and engaging in a desperate struggle. The mysterious man continuously emitted black energy to attack them. Lin Yu and Zhao Yang dodged left and right, but the energy still grazed their bodies, leaving scars. Their physical strength was constantly depleting, while the mysterious man's attacks showed no signs of weakening.
Meanwhile, Ye Li was nervously studying the symbols on the stone platform. Beads of sweat covered her forehead, and her hands trembled slightly. As time ticked by, she felt the pressure grow. Suddenly, she discovered a pattern in the symbols' arrangement: it seemed they needed to be triggered in a specific order.
"I think I've found a way! Hold on a little longer!" Ye Li shouted. She took a deep breath and carefully activated the symbols on the stone platform in the order she'd discovered. Once triggered, the symbols emitted rays of light, which gradually converged to form a massive energy shield that enveloped the mysterious figure.
The mysterious man's face dropped as he saw the energy shield flying towards him. He tried to dodge, but the shield was too fast and instantly enveloped him. He struggled within the shield, roaring in anger. Black energy continuously assaulted the shield, but it couldn't break through.
"Success!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly. He and Zhao Yang looked at the mysterious man trapped by the energy shield, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. However, before they could be happy for too long, the mysterious man suddenly burst into a crazy laugh.
"Do you think you can stop me like this? Everything is irreversible!" the mysterious man shouted frantically. As he shouted, the symbol on the stone platform began to flash red, and the entire cave began to shake violently.
"Oh no! He might have triggered something even more terrifying! We need to get out of here!" Ye Li shouted. The three of them, not caring about anything else, ran desperately out of the cave. Just as they were about to run out of the cave, a huge explosion was heard from inside, and a powerful shockwave knocked them to the ground.
When they regained consciousness, they discovered the cave had collapsed, its entrance buried beneath a massive rock. Lying on the ground, they gazed at the wrecked cave, filled with emotion. Although they had temporarily halted the mysterious man's actions, they knew the matter wasn't over yet.
"Who is this mysterious man? Why is he doing these things in the village?" Zhao Yang asked, his eyes full of confusion.
Lin Yu said: "Although his identity and purpose are still unclear, we have stopped his plan. However, the mystery of reincarnation in the village has not been completely solved, and we still need to continue investigating." Lin Yu knew very well that this was just an episode in this mysterious incident, and there were more secrets hidden behind it waiting for them to uncover.
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right. This experience has taught us that the secrets of this village are far more complicated and dangerous than we imagined. But we can't give up, we must uncover all the truth." Ye Li's eyes revealed determination. She believed that as long as they persevered, they would be able to solve all the mysteries of the Reincarnation Village one day.
The three stood up, dusted themselves off, and headed towards the village. They knew there were more challenges ahead, but they were ready to uncover the mystery behind the reincarnation village no matter what difficulties they encountered.
