Lin Yu keenly sensed the strange smell and reminded his companions to be careful. Everyone clenched their weapons and stood ready, their eyes intertwined with tension and determination. Although Su Yao felt a little uneasy, looking at her companions beside her, especially Lin Yu's determined profile, she secretly told herself to stay calm, not to fall behind, and to protect everyone.
Xiao Yi gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles whitening. An expression of excitement crossed his face, his eyes gleaming with a desire for battle. "Finally, I'm itching to fight! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you this time!" He muttered to himself, his heart filled with resentment towards the Dark Cult, eager to inflict a heavy blow on them in this battle.
Lu Ming pushed up his glasses, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings behind the lenses, his brain working rapidly, trying to determine the enemy's position and number. He knew that the Dark Cult's coming this time would not be easy, so he had to remain calm and use his wisdom to find the enemy's weaknesses.
Lin Yu concentrated his mind, releasing his perception, trying to catch the enemy's trace. His heartbeat quickened slightly, but years of combat experience allowed him to calm down quickly. "Everyone, maintain formation and don't act rashly." He whispered, his voice steady and powerful.
At that moment, several dark figures slowly emerged from the shadows surrounding the cave. They were dressed in black, their faces covered with black scarves, revealing only their cold eyes. These were the exploratory members sent by the Dark Cult. Their leader was a tall, thin man named Yeying. He was a renowned scout within the Dark Cult, skilled in stealth and reconnaissance, meticulous in his thinking and agile in his actions.
Ye Ying was slightly shocked when he saw Lin Yu and the others standing ready. He didn't expect these people to be so alert and find their tracks so quickly. But he quickly calmed down and showed a sneer on his face: "Humph, I didn't expect you to be so alert. However, today we are just here to see your strength. If you know what's good for you, hand over the Lingyun Stone obediently. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Lin Yu snorted coldly, his eyes revealing disdain: "The people of the Dark Cult are indeed shameless. If you want the Spiritual Stone, then it depends on whether you have the ability."
Ye Ying waved his hand, and the members behind him instantly spread out, forming a fan shape to surround Lin Yu and others. Their movements were neat and uniform, and they had obviously undergone rigorous training.
The battle was about to break out, and Lin Yu took the lead in attacking. He used the "Five-Colored Phantom Spirit Technique", and the five-colored light merged with the power of the fire element to form a blazing flame beam, which shot towards Ye Ying. Ye Ying reacted extremely quickly, and with a flash of his body, he easily avoided Lin Yu's attack.
Su Yao quickly erected a defensive shield around the team, which shone with a pale blue light, solid and stable. Xiao Yi brandished his weapon and rushed towards a member of the Dark Cult nearby. His attacks were swift and fierce, each one carrying a powerful force. Lu Ming observed the battle from the side, searching for the enemy's weaknesses while preparing to deploy his formation at any time.
Ye Ying watched the attacks of Lin Yu and the others and secretly assessed their strength. He found that Lin Yu's attacks were powerful, Su Yao's defensive shield was also very strong, Xiao Yi's melee ability should not be underestimated, and Lu Ming seemed to be planning something. "These people are stronger than we thought, we can't fight them head-on." He thought to himself and made a quick decision.
At Ye Ying's command, the members of the Dark Cult began to use some strange attack methods. Black mist appeared in their hands, and the mist spread out with a pungent smell that made people want to vomit. Su Yao's defensive shield began to dim under the erosion of the black mist.
Lin Yu was shocked when he saw this scene. He knew that this black mist was not simple. He quickly concentrated his mind, combined the colorful light with the power of the water element, and cast a stream of water to try to disperse the black mist. The water flow collided with the black mist, making a sizzling sound. The black mist was dispersed a little, but it quickly gathered again.
Xiao Yi also encountered trouble in close combat with the enemy. The attack methods of these dark cult members were very strange, and their weapons seemed to carry a sinister power, causing Xiao Yi to feel a sharp pain with each attack. But Xiao Yi did not retreat. He gritted his teeth and attacked the enemy with even greater force.
Lu Ming finally found the enemy's weakness. He discovered that when the Dark Cult members launched their black mist attacks, their defenses were weakened. He quickly set up an attack formation, which flashed and shot towards the Dark Cult members. Ye Ying was startled by Lu Ming's formation and quickly directed the members to dodge. However, several members were still hit by the formation and screamed in pain.
Ye Ying knew that this test was almost over. They had already figured out some of Lin Yu and others' strength. He didn't want to make any more unnecessary sacrifices, so he ordered a retreat. "I'll let you go today, but next time, you won't be so lucky." Ye Ying left a harsh word and quickly disappeared into the darkness with the members of the Dark Cult.
Lin Yu and others successfully repelled the temptation of the Dark Cult, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yao showed a tired smile on her face: "We succeeded, and we drove them away."
Xiao Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled excitedly: "Haha, these guys are nothing special. Next time I come, I will definitely beat them to a pulp."
Lu Ming pushed his glasses and said, "Although we successfully repelled them this time, we can't let our guard down. Now that they have figured out some of our strength, they will definitely come up with more powerful methods to deal with us next time."
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Lu Ming is right. We must continue to improve our strength and be prepared to deal with more powerful enemies."
