After defeating the "Poison Shadow Messenger," Lin Yu and the others didn't dare to slack off and immediately continued searching for Lingxi in the Dark Moon Swamp. Time flew by like sand in an hourglass, and the five-hour deadline hung like a sharp blade, constantly reminding them of the urgency of the situation.
Lin Yu gripped the slightly warm compass tightly in his hand, his brow furrowed, a hint of anxiety in his eyes. The compass needle spun frantically, as if lost in this strange swamp. "The magnetic field of this Dark Moon Swamp seems to be interfering with the compass's direction. We can't rely on it completely," Lin Yu thought to himself, constantly observing the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues. He knew that every second wasted would increase the danger to Lingxi, and they would be further away from completing the mission, obtaining the "Spirit Shadow Grass", and upgrading Xinglan's system. But he also understood that in times like this, it was even more important to remain calm and not lose composure.
Su Yao's body trembled slightly. The fierce battle had just made her already exhausted body even weaker. Her lips were chapped, and sweat kept rolling down her forehead, wetting the hair in front of her eyes. But her eyes were remarkably firm, and she kept looking around, alert for any possible danger. "Lingxi must be nearby. We can't give up." Su Yao encouraged herself in her heart, and secretly vowed that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would protect everyone and successfully rescue Lingxi. Her hands tightly grasped the energy core of the defensive shield. Although the shield was already tattered, she still tried hard to maintain it, fearing that if she was not careful, danger would take advantage of the opportunity to enter.
Xiao Yi swung the bloodied weapon in his hand vigorously, trying to shake off the gore and slime. His face was etched with fatigue, but his eyes still gleamed with an indomitable glint. "This damned swamp, and those damned creatures, don't even think of blocking our path!" Xiao Yi cursed under his breath, his heart filled with anger towards the Dark Cult and a desire to find Lingxi as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to advance and slay all enemies who stood in his way. Every battle was an opportunity for growth for him, and this time, he was even more eager to prove his strength with victory.
Lu Ming pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with wisdom in the darkness. He squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground, trying to find some clues. "The footprints here are disorganized, they should have been left by the Dark Cult, but the specific direction is difficult to determine." Lu Ming muttered to himself, his heart full of worry. As the think tank of the team, he knew that accurate judgment was crucial for the next action. If they couldn't find the right direction, they would probably get lost in this Dark Moon Swamp, wasting a lot of time and energy. But he didn't give up, and continued to look for other clues around, not missing any possible details.
Just when they were at their wit's end, Lin Yu suddenly felt a faint spiritual power fluctuation coming from the front. His heart tightened, and he immediately signaled everyone to stop. "Everyone be careful, there seems to be something happening up ahead." Lin Yu whispered, concentrating his mind, trying to sense the source of the spiritual power fluctuation. His heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and a surge of anticipation surged in his heart. Could it be that the spiritual power fluctuation was emitted by Lingxi?
Everyone cautiously advanced towards the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations, taking every step with extreme caution. As they drew closer, the spiritual energy fluctuations grew stronger, and Lin Yu and the others grew increasingly excited. Finally, behind a large black plant, they discovered a woman bound in chains. She had long, light blue hair that cascaded to the ground, and her pale face was filled with exhaustion and fear. She was Lingxi.
"Lingxi!" Lin Yu and others shouted in surprise and rushed forward immediately. However, the moment they approached Lingxi, the ground suddenly shook violently, and countless black vines broke out from the ground, like giant black pythons, winding towards them.
"Be careful!" Lin Yu shouted and quickly cast the "Five Colored Phantom Spirit Technique". The five-colored light merged with the power of the wood element, trying to resist the attack of the black vines. However, these vines seemed to be blessed by some evil power and were extremely tough. Lin Yu's attack did not have much effect.
Su Yao immediately put up a defensive shield to protect everyone inside. But the black vines' attack was as fierce as a storm, and the defensive shield kept shaking under the attack, making a "sizzling" sound. "These vines are too powerful, my shield can't hold on for long!" Su Yao shouted anxiously, her hands trembling slightly due to the force, and sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
Xiao Yi brandished his weapon, frantically hacking at the surrounding vines. His attacks were swift and fierce, each strike carrying immense force, but the vines kept coming, gradually making him feel powerless. "Damn it! Why can't I kill all these things?" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and roared loudly, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.
Lu Ming, on the side, rapidly analyzed the situation, trying to identify the vines' weaknesses. His gaze was focused and determined, his hands gesturing rapidly in the air, attempting to create a formation to restrict the vines' movements. "These vines appear to be controlled by some underground force. We must find the source of their control to fully resolve this problem," Lu Ming exclaimed, silently praying for a swift solution.
At this moment, Xing Lan's voice rang in Lin Yu's mind: "Lin Yu, I detected that there is an energy node below where Lingxi is bound. It should be the key to controlling these vines. You can try to destroy it and release the vines' attack."
