Lin Yu and his team, shouldering the heavy mission they had inherited from Cang Yan, resolutely advanced into the depths of the Darkmoon Swamp. Lin Yu's heart was like the surging sea. On the one hand, he was acutely aware that this mission to rescue Lingxi in the Darkmoon Swamp was fraught with danger. The Dark Cult was lurking in the shadows, and the Darkmoon Swamp itself was rife with dangers, lurking with countless unknown horrors. On the other hand, a steadfast conviction burned within him: to obtain the "Spirit Shadow Grass" to enhance his team's strength, and to ensure Xing Lan could successfully upgrade his systems and continue to appear and assist, he could not retreat even a moment. "No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will lead everyone to complete this mission," Lin Yu vowed silently, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination. His mind raced, pondering how to formulate a comprehensive and effective rescue strategy.
Su Yao's steps unconsciously grew heavier, her heart thick with worry. The eerie faces of the Dark Cult flashed through her mind like a nightmare, and the fear of the various terrifying monsters that might lurk within the Darkmoon Swamp filled her heart with even greater dread. As the team's crucial defender, she knew her responsibility was immense. A single breach in her defense at a crucial moment would spell doom for the entire team. But she bit her lip tightly, striving to control her mind, mentally reassuring herself, "I can't be afraid. I must protect everyone and not let anyone get hurt." She chanted silently, carefully channeling her spiritual energy, sensing every shift in her shield, striving to prepare herself for the upcoming battle with greater composure.
Xiao Yi's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. For him, every new adventure was a golden opportunity to fully demonstrate his strength and prove his worth. He gripped his weapon tightly, as if it were his most trusted companion. The weapon trembled slightly in his hand, as if sensing his inner desire. "Those of you from the Dark Cult, and the beasts of the Darkmoon Swamp, today I, Xiao Yi, will show you how powerful I am!" Xiao Yi growled, his eyes gleaming with a fiery fighting spirit. He couldn't wait to charge into the danger ahead and engage the enemy in a hearty battle.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, appeared remarkably calm. He pushed his glasses up, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, keenly observing every subtle change in his surroundings. He knew full well that in the perilous Darkmoon Swamp, even the slightest negligence could have disastrous consequences. "We must remain vigilant at all times and not miss any potential danger signals," Lu Ming repeatedly reminded himself. He mentally analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each team member, pondering how to maximize these advantages and formulate the most rational and effective tactics to deal with the various complex situations that could arise at any moment.
When they stepped onto the edge of the Darkmoon Swamp, a strong, pungent, and foul smell hit them like a tangible barrier, making them nauseous. A thick layer of black fog filled the air, like an endless curtain of darkness, covering the entire swamp. Visibility was extremely low, and only some strangely shaped, twisted plants and the muddy ground could be vaguely seen. Lin Yu's heart suddenly tightened. He immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and said in a low and serious voice: "Everyone be careful, the environment here is worse than we expected, and danger may come at any time." As he spoke, he concentrated his mind and released his perception, like an invisible net, carefully detecting the movements around him.
At this moment, Su Yao suddenly felt a violent vibration from the ground beneath her feet. She was startled and instinctively shouted, "Be careful, there's something!" Before she could finish her words, a huge tentacle, like a black python, suddenly sprang out from the muddy ground, with a whistling sound, and grabbed Su Yao fiercely. Lin Yu reacted extremely quickly and cast the "Five-Colored Phantom Spirit Technique" without hesitation. The colorful light was like a gorgeous sunset, perfectly merging with the power of the water element, instantly forming a sharp water blade, which shot towards the tentacle. With a crisp "click", the tentacle was cut off, and green mucus splashed everywhere like a fountain, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.
"What the hell is this thing?" Xiao Yi roared loudly. He waved the weapon in his hand and looked around vigilantly. His eyes were full of alertness, ready to deal with the next wave of attacks at any time.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity. He said in a deep voice, "This is most likely a magical beast unique to the Dark Moon Swamp. The magical beasts here all have their own unique abilities. We must be careful when dealing with them."
They continued forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. Suddenly, a group of figures loomed in the black fog ahead. Lin Yu and the others stopped and watched with vigilance. As the figures drew closer, they became aware of their identities: members of the Dark Cult. Leading them was a tall, thin man wearing a black mask and emitting a sickening, poisonous aura. He looked like a demon emerging from the darkness. This man was the "Poison Shadow Envoy." Once a genius in poison making, he joined the Dark Cult without hesitation, seeking greater power and untold wealth. With his exceptional poison-making skills and ruthless tactics, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a prominent member. This time, he was tasked with preventing Lin Yu and the others from rescuing Lingxi. He saw this not only as a chance to earn a lucrative reward from the Cult, but also as a chance to elevate his status within it.
