"Hmph, you idiots who overestimate your own abilities actually dare to trespass into the Dark Moon Swamp without permission. Today is your doom!" The "Poison Shadow Messenger" said coldly, his voice as cold and piercing as an ice cone. Then he waved his hand, and the members of the Dark Cult behind him pounced on Lin Yu and others like hungry wolves, howling.
Lin Yu and the others quickly assumed combat stances, ready for battle. Lin Yu launched the first attack, unleashing the "Five-Colored Illusionary Spirit Technique." Five-colored light blended with the power of the fire element, forming streaks of blazing flames that shot like meteors toward the dark cult members charging ahead. The flames streaked through the air, instantly enveloping several enemies. Only screams could be heard as the enemies struggled in agony within the flames.
Su Yao was doing her utmost to maintain the shield. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her face was as pale as paper. The attacks of the Dark Cult members were as fierce as a storm. The shield was shaking under the impact of the attacks, and the light was becoming dimmer and dimmer. "I must hold on. I can't let the shield break." Su Yao kept cheering herself up in her heart. She held the shield's energy core tightly with both hands and tried her best to resist the enemy's attacks.
Brandishing his weapon, Xiao Yi charged into the enemy horde like a valiant lion, engaging in fierce close combat with the members of the Dark Order. His attacks were swift and fierce, each strike carrying immense force, and the enemies fell one after another under his onslaught. However, the enemy's numbers were too great, and Xiao Yi gradually felt somewhat overwhelmed. Wounds began to appear on his body, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly brandishing his weapon, looking for an opportunity to break through the enemy's encirclement.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, was absorbed in arranging and adjusting the formation, attempting to restrict the enemy's movements and create favorable combat conditions for his team. His eyes were focused and determined, his hands rapidly gesturing in the air. Mysterious runes flickered in the air, gradually forming a complex and powerful formation. However, the "Poison Shadow Messenger" seemed to sense Lu Ming's intentions. He sneered and waved his staff. A wave of black poisonous gas shot towards Lu Ming like black lightning, instantly shattering Lu Ming's carefully arranged formation.
"Damn it!" Lu Ming cursed in his heart. He knew that the "Poison Shadow Messenger" in front of him was very powerful and was not an easy opponent. With their current strength, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the enemy in a short period of time.
Just as Lin Yu and the others were in trouble and the situation was becoming increasingly critical, Xing Lan's voice suddenly rang in Lin Yu's mind: "Lin Yu, I have detected a hidden mechanism in front of you on the right. Perhaps we can use it to turn the current situation of the battle. The location of the mechanism is about thirty meters away."
Lin Yu was delighted. He quickly looked in the direction indicated by Xing Lan. Sure enough, behind a huge rock not far away, he could faintly see some flickering light. "Everyone follow me. There is a mechanism there that may help us get out of the current predicament." Lin Yu shouted loudly, and then took the lead and rushed towards the boulder.
However, the "Poison Shadow Messenger" also keenly sensed their intentions, and he immediately commanded the members of the Dark Cult to do their best to prevent Lin Yu and others from approaching the mechanism. Under the crazy siege of the enemy, Lin Yu and others struggled to move towards the boulder, and every step forward had to pay a huge price.
Just as they were about to reach the boulder, the "Poison Shadow Messenger" suddenly cast a powerful and terrifying poison fog spell, and the entire area was instantly shrouded in thick poison fog. Lin Yu and others suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and their bodies began to become weak as if being gnawed by countless ants.
"Everyone hold your breath and hold on!" Lin Yu shouted loudly. He endured the discomfort in his body and continued to move forward towards the mechanism with difficulty.
Finally, they reached the hidden mechanism behind the boulder. Lu Ming quickly crouched down, carefully observing its structure, trying to figure out how to activate it. "This mechanism is quite complex and intricately constructed. I'll need some time to decipher it," Lu Ming said, his eyes focused and determined. His hands groped rapidly over the mechanism, his mind racing, analyzing every detail.
While Lu Ming was cracking the mechanism, Lin Yu and the others fought with all their might against the frenzied attacks of the Dark Cult members. Su Yao's defensive shield was already shaky and could break at any moment, and her body was exhausted from the long period of high intensity, almost unable to bear it. Xiao Yi's body was covered with wounds, and blood stained his clothes red, but he still held his weapon tightly and fought tenaciously with the enemy, without a trace of fear or retreat in his eyes.
Finally, thanks to Lu Ming's tireless efforts, the mechanism was successfully activated. A powerful and dazzling energy wave blasted out from the mechanism, like an angry dragon, instantly repelling the surrounding members of the Dark Cult. The "Poison Shadow Messenger" was also shaken back by this powerful energy wave, with a hint of surprise and anger on his face. He obviously didn't expect Lin Yu and others to be able to activate this mechanism.
"Great opportunity, everyone, attack now!" Lin Yu shouted, unleashing the most powerful attack of the "Five-Colored Phantom Spirit Technique." The five-colored light perfectly blended with the power of various elements, forming a brilliant and powerful energy beam that shot towards the "Poison Shadow Messenger" like lightning. Xiao Yi and Lu Ming also took the opportunity to launch an attack. Xiao Yi brandished his weapon and rushed towards the "Poison Shadow Messenger" like a black lightning bolt, while Lu Ming once again set up a formation to try to trap the "Poison Shadow Messenger." Su Yao, on the side, did her utmost to maintain the defensive shield while assisting Lin Yu and the others in their attacks.
Under their combined attack, the "Poison Shadow Messenger" gradually lost his strength and began to stagger. Finally, under the fierce attack of Lin Yu and others, the "Poison Shadow Messenger" let out a roar of unwillingness and fell to the ground, unable to resist. Seeing their leader defeated, the members of the Dark Cult immediately lost their morale and fled.
Lin Yu and his companions successfully escaped the siege of the Dark Cult, but they knew that this was only one of the many challenges they faced in the Dark Moon Swamp. The road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, and they needed to continue moving forward to find the trace of Lingxi.
At this moment, Xing Lan's voice rang out in Lin Yu's mind again: "Lin Yu, a new system task has been released. Task content: Within the next five hours, successfully find Lingxi and rescue her safely from the Dark Moon Swamp. Task reward: 1500 experience points and an intermediate defensive spiritual weapon. Task time limit: five hours."
Lin Yu stared at the compass in his hand, his heart filled with anxiety and anticipation. Time was running out. Could they find Lingxi and rescue her within the allotted time? What dangers and challenges would they encounter during the ensuing rescue? And would Xinglan's upgrade path proceed smoothly? All of this remained unknown, shrouding their minds like a fog, waiting for them to uncover the answers one by one.
