Chapter 25: Quick Travel Guide: Viking Son of Fortune Zeus (VI)
He looked at Feng Ziang with admiration and continued, "The Dark Clan's whereabouts are mysterious, but they will definitely leave clues. I have found some clues, follow me."
They followed the mysterious man all the way north, through dense forests, over steep ridges, and finally found a simple camp in a hidden valley.
The camp was empty, but there were some black cloth and strange symbols scattered on the ground.
"This is the mark of the Dark One."
The mysterious man pointed at the symbol on the ground and said, "They must have left not long ago."
Zeus carefully observed the environment around the camp, trying to find more clues.
"The ground here has traces of being trampled by horses' hooves. There must be quite a few people here, and..."
He paused, pointed north, "They went in that direction."
"Chase!"
Feng Ziang said without hesitation.
The three of them mounted their horses and galloped towards the north. The scenery along the way became increasingly desolate, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression.
“It’s just ahead!”
The stranger suddenly pulled the reins, pointed to a dense forest not far away and said, "I can feel that the artifact is there!"
Feng Ziang and Zeus looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
They dismounted, quietly entered the dense forest, and groped their way in the direction the stranger pointed.
Deep in the woods, a low chanting sound was faintly heard, accompanied by a faint red light. Feng Ziang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He signaled Zeus to slow down. The two held their breath and carefully pushed aside the branches in front of them...
After pushing aside the last bush, Feng Ziang and Zeus both gasped at the sight before them.
In an open space, blazing flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surroundings in red.
A dozen figures in black robes were dancing strangely around the flames, muttering to themselves.
In the center of the flames, a huge black crystal was suspended in mid-air, emitting evil and powerful energy fluctuations.
“It’s a divine weapon!”
Feng Ziyang lowered his voice, pointed at the black crystal and said, "They are using the artifact to perform some evil ritual!"
Zeus nodded solemnly and tightened his grip on the battle axe.
He knew that they had to stop the ceremony, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The two looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. Zeus rushed out first, the battle axe in his hand cut through the air and he let out a roar.
Feng Zi followed closely behind, the dagger in her hand flashing with cold light, and went straight for the man in black who was closest to her.
The sudden attack caught the men in black off guard, and they were thrown into chaos.
However, they were well-trained dark tribes after all, and they reacted quickly, drawing their weapons and fighting Feng Ziang and Zeus.
"An ant who doesn't know his own limits!"
A cold voice came from the flames, and a tall man in black walked out slowly, with a ferocious mask on his face.
In his hand he held a black staff with a red gem inlaid on the top, which glowed with an evil light.
"Who are you?" Zeus asked warily.
"I am the master of this place, the dark magician Karl."
Karl said arrogantly, "How dare you trespass into my territory and disrupt my ceremony? This is unforgivable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Carl swung the staff in his hand, and a black lightning shot out from the top of the staff and attacked Zeus.
Zeus reacted quickly and dodged to the side, but the lightning struck the tree behind him, instantly blasting it into pieces.
Feng Ziang didn't dare to be careless when seeing this. He dodged the attacks of other Carls while looking for an opportunity to get close to Carl.
However, Carl's magic attack was too powerful and he couldn't get close.
"Hahaha, you guys think you can stop me? You little idiots."
Carl laughed arrogantly, "You will all turn into ashes along with this flame!"
He raised his staff high and chanted an obscure spell. The flames suddenly became more intense, enveloping the entire open space in a sea of fire...
Feng Ziang was forced back into a corner, looking at the hellish scene before him, his heart filled with despair.
Am I really going to die here today?
At this moment, he noticed that when Carl cast a spell, the red gem on the top of the staff would emit a dazzling light, and Carl's body would become stiff for a moment as the light flashed...
"Brother! Look!"
Feng Ziang shouted loudly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"elder brother!"
Feng Ziang's voice was like a bolt of lightning that broke through the thick smoke, penetrating the raging flames and the deafening incantations.
Zeus was fighting with Karl's men. When he heard his brother's cry, his heart sank and he suddenly looked up at him.
Feng Ziang pointed at Karl with hope in his eyes. He quickly and briefly described Karl's weaknesses to Zeus.
Zeus' eyes sparkled when he heard this. Although he was brave and good at fighting, he seemed a little powerless in the face of powerful magic attacks.
Now that Feng Ziang has discovered Carl's weakness, this undoubtedly brings them hope of turning the tide of the battle.
"Cover me!"
Zeus roared and swung the battle axe in his hand more violently, forcing back those who were besieging him.
He crouched down, taking advantage of the fire and smoke to sneak towards Carl.
Feng Ziang attracted the attention of more slaves. He used his agile body to shuttle among the swords and swords. Although there were dangers everywhere, he always kept his mission in mind - to buy time for Zeus.
Carl noticed Zeus' intention. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You don't know your own limits! You little idiot, you think you can ruin my ceremony?"
He raised his staff again, and the red gem burst into dazzling light. A pillar of fire shot up into the sky, forcing Zeus back.
However, at the moment when Kahl cast the spell, Zeus saw the core of the magic circle - a black crystal ball.
Opportunity! Zeus' eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He no longer wanted to fight, but rushed towards Karl with all his strength.
“Stop him!”
Carl roared, and several men in black immediately gave up attacking Feng Ziang and turned to rush towards Zeus.
Zeus was prepared. He roared, and the battle axe in his hand turned into a silver light, splitting the man in black who was in the front into two halves.
"I am a god, Zeus"
Blood splattered, staining Zeus' eyes red, but he seemed to feel no pain and continued to charge forward.
Finally, he came to the stone platform, raised his battle axe high, and chopped it down hard at the black crystal ball!
"No!"
Carl let out a desperate roar, but it was too late to stop it.
The battle axe fell, and the crystal ball instantly shattered into countless pieces. A powerful energy wave erupted from the stone platform, knocking Zeus away.
Carl groaned, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and anger.
"How dare you...how dare you..."
He pointed at Feng Zion and Zeus with trembling fingers, his eyes burning with rage.
"Karl, your end is here!"
Feng Ziang and Zeus exchanged glances. They both knew that the moment for the decisive battle had come.
The raging flames illuminated half of the sky red, and thick smoke billowed, blocking out the sun.
Feng Ziang and Zeus stood side by side, facing the pale-faced evil magician Karl.
Carl covered his chest with his hands, the blood at the corner of his mouth was shocking, but the hatred and madness in his eyes remained unchanged.
