Lin Yu and the others were on high alert at the entrance of the Spirit Valley. The tense atmosphere was like a taut string, ready to explode at any moment. Lin Yu's palms were slightly sweaty. He gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes scanning every inch of land around the Spirit Valley with sharp eyes. The newly awakened Cancer power surged within him, giving him an unprecedented sense of confidence. However, he was also well aware of the terrifying nature of the Dark Cult and dared not be careless. "Xinglan, help me explore carefully again and see if you can determine the specific location of the Dark Cult." Lin Yu said to Xinglan anxiously in his heart.
Xing Lan's voice quickly rang in Lin Yu's mind, with a hint of urgency: "Lin Yu, the dark aura is very weak and erratic. We cannot determine their exact location at the moment, but what is certain is that they are lurking nearby and may attack at any time."
Lin Yu relayed Xing Lan's words to everyone. Su Yao's face paled slightly. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the energy core of her defensive shield, and the spiritual energy in her body began to slowly circulate. Her heart was filled with worry, not only for herself, but also for her companions around her. "I must hold on. I can't let anyone get hurt." Su Yao kept encouraging herself in her heart. Although her body had not yet fully recovered, she was ready to face the strongest attack.
Xiao Yi's eyes gleamed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together, his weapon trembling slightly, as if anticipating the coming battle. "Haha, hiding is nothing! If you're brave, come out and have a good fight with us!" Xiao Yi shouted, his voice echoing throughout the Spirit Valley, attempting to provoke the enemies hiding in the shadows. In his view, only in battle could one truly demonstrate one's strength, and only by defeating powerful enemies could one continue to grow.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, his gaze calm and focused behind the lenses. Unlike Xiao Yi, he wasn't impulsive, instead rapidly analyzing various possible scenarios. "Everyone, maintain your formation and don't disperse. We don't know the enemy's numbers or strength. Any rash action will only put us in a passive position," Lu Ming said in a deep voice. His voice, though calm, held a reassuring power. As the team's brain trust, he understood that in such situations, calm judgment and sound tactical planning were crucial.
Lingxi hid behind Cangyan, her body trembling slightly. She was filled with self-blame and worry, blaming herself for causing trouble for everyone, worrying that no one would get hurt because of her. "It's all my fault! If I hadn't been captured by the Dark Cult, no one would be in this dangerous situation." Lingxi silently blamed herself, her eyes filled with guilt.
Cangyan felt Lingxi's emotions, he patted Lingxi's shoulder gently and comforted her: "Lingxi, don't think like that, it's not your fault. The Dark Cult has always been coveting the spiritual herbs of our Lingying clan. Even if this incident hadn't happened, they would have caused trouble sooner or later. Now with the help of these brave friends, we will definitely be able to defeat them." Cangyan's voice was steady and powerful, giving Lingxi a little comfort.
At this moment, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves in the Spirit Valley rustled. Lin Yu's heart tightened, and his intuition told him that the enemy was coming. Sure enough, the next moment, a group of people wearing black cloaks emerged from all directions of the Spirit Valley and surrounded Lin Yu and others.
"Hmph, you think you can rest easy just because you rescued Lingxi? Today, this is where you will die!" A tall, black-robed man stood in front and said coldly. His voice was low and hoarse, like a messenger from hell.
A trace of determination flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely defeat them!" As he said that, he took the lead in performing the "Five-Colored Fantasy Spirit Technique". The colorful light merged with the protective power of Cancer to form a gorgeous light curtain, protecting everyone in it.
Su Yao also immediately put up a defensive shield and coordinated with Lin Yu's light curtain. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her face was pale, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted. "I won't let you break through my defense!" Su Yao shouted loudly, her voice full of determination.
Xiao Yi brandished his weapon, roaring furiously as he charged forward, engaging in fierce close combat with the black-robed figure. His attacks were swift and fierce, but the black-robed figure seemed to possess considerable strength, deftly dodging and counterattacking. Xiao Yi quickly sustained several more wounds, but he remained undeterred, fighting with increasing courage.
Lu Ming quickly arranged the formation, his hands gesturing rapidly in the air. Mysterious runes shimmered, gradually forming a complex formation. However, the black-robed figures seemed wary of Lu Ming's formation, casting dark magic in an attempt to disrupt it.
"Lin Yu, their dark magic has a strong interference with my formation. I need more time to stabilize the formation!" Lu Ming shouted loudly, with an anxious expression on his face.
Lin Yu was anxious when he heard Lu Ming's words. He knew that this was a critical moment and Lu Ming's formation could not be destroyed. "Xinglan, is there any way to help Lu Ming stabilize the formation?" Lin Yu asked in his heart.
Xing Lan responded quickly: "Lin Yu, I can try to provide you with some energy. If you inject this energy into the formation, it may enhance the stability of the formation."
Lin Yu was delighted. He immediately concentrated his mind, channeled the energy provided by Xing Lan, and then injected it into the formation arranged by Lu Ming. After the formation was replenished with energy, the light became more dazzling, and the black-robed man's dark magic could no longer affect it.
"Success!" Lu Ming shouted excitedly, with a smile on his face.
