Lin Yu and the others calmed down and continued to grope their way through the icy forest. Lu Fan's betrayal weighed like a heavy stone on everyone's heart, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn. Lin Yu walked at the front of the team. Although his steps were firm, his eyes were more vigilant. The mysterious key was quietly held in his hand, but it emitted a trace of warmth from time to time, as if reminding him that danger was everywhere.
"After what happened with Lu Fan, everyone should be on high alert. We can't let something like this happen again." Lin Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over each of his teammates. He knew that in this dangerous ice forest, trust became more and more precious, and they had to gather their strength again to move forward.
Su Yao held the children's hands tightly, her palms full of sweat. "Lin Yu, can we really find the headquarters of the Dark Cult?" Su Yao's voice was filled with worry. She looked at the gloomy ice forest around her, and her uneasiness became stronger and stronger. But she also understood that at this time, they had no choice but to trust Lin Yu.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, the fury still etched on his face. "Hmph, that bastard Lu Fan! Wait until we've dealt with the Dark Cult, and then we'll deal with him!" Xiao Yi gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white. He was furious at Lu Fan's betrayal, yet his resolve to defeat the Dark Cult was only strengthened. He longed to wash away all the humiliation with victory.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, a look of fatigue and contemplation behind the lenses. "This ice forest is so complex, our progress is very slow, and it's difficult to determine the direction." Lu Ming frowned. He had been observing the surrounding terrain and the layout of the ice forest, trying to find a shortcut to the Dark Cult's headquarters, but so far, he had no clue.
You Qianxue maintained a stern expression, her hands forming hand seals in front of her as icy energy flowed through her. "I can sense the evil forces around us gradually growing stronger. We must be getting closer to the Dark Cult's headquarters," You Qianxue whispered, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. As the guardian of the ice cave, she had a keen sense of evil, and this made her even more vigilant.
Bing Ling'er followed the group, her eyes filled with self-blame and confusion. "It's all my fault. I made Lu Fan like this. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have done this." Bing Ling'er's voice was filled with tears. She felt she bore unshirkable responsibility for Lu Fan's betrayal. At the same time, she was worried that her presence would bring more trouble to everyone.
Lin Yu turned his head slightly when he heard Bing Ling'er's words, his eyes full of concern. "Bing Ling'er, this is not your fault. Lu Fan was blinded by jealousy and hatred. This is his own choice." Lin Yu comforted her softly. He knew that Bing Ling'er was fragile at the moment and needed everyone's support and encouragement.
Just as everyone continued to move forward, suddenly, a strange light and shadow appeared in the ice fog ahead. The light and shadow flickered, as if it was a projection of some mysterious power. Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped and signaled everyone to stay alert.
"What is that?" Xiao Yi asked in a low voice. He gripped the weapon in his hand tightly and stared at the light and shadow.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up and observed carefully. "It looks like some kind of magical projection. It could be a trap set by the Dark Cult." Lu Ming's voice revealed a hint of nervousness. He knew that the Dark Cult had endless tricks, and this light and shadow could be a dangerous signal.
You Qianxue quickly formed seals with her hands and cast an ice detection spell. "This power is evil and extremely powerful. We must be careful." You Qianxue's expression became even more serious. When her ice spell came into contact with the light and shadow, it was actually rebounded, making her realize that the enemy before her was no good.
As everyone was watching the light warily, several blurry figures suddenly appeared in the shadows. They were wearing black robes, holding strange magical weapons in their hands, and exuding an evil aura.
"It's the Dark Cult!" Lin Yu shouted loudly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. He held the mysterious key tightly, ready for the upcoming battle.
The members of the Dark Cult looked at Lin Yu and the others with sinister smiles on their faces. "Haha, I didn't expect you to make it this far, but your journey should end now!" One of the black-robed men said coldly, his voice seemed to come from hell, making people shudder.
Lin Yu looked at these men in black robes and thought to himself: "The strength of these people should not be underestimated. We must be careful and not expose our weaknesses easily." He quickly formulated a battle plan in his mind while paying attention to the status of his teammates.
Su Yao protected the children tightly, her body trembling slightly, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination. "Don't be afraid, children, we are here and will not let you get hurt." Su Yao comforted the children softly and cast an ice defense spell to provide a layer of protection for everyone.
Xiao Yi roared, brandishing his weapon and charging forward. "You bastards, today is your doom!" Xiao Yi's attack rained down on the black-robed men like a torrential downpour. His heart was filled with rage and fighting spirit, and he wanted to defeat these members of the Dark Cult as quickly as possible.
Lu Ming and You Qianxue set up formations in the rear, strengthening everyone's defense and attack capabilities. Lu Ming's eyes revealed a hint of concentration as he quickly set up the formations, trying to find the black-robed man's weakness. You Qianxue continuously cast ice spells, coordinating with Xiao Yi's attacks, trying to contain the black-robed man's movements.
Bing Ling'er also unleashed her own ice power. Although her power was relatively weak, she also hoped to contribute to the team. Her eyes were full of determination. She knew that only by defeating the enemy before them could they move on and avenge their classmates.
