Shrouded in black fog, everyone's vision became blurred, and they could only vaguely see each other's outlines. The black fog seemed to have life, constantly surging, trying to swallow them up. The air was filled with a pungent smell, making it difficult to breathe. They could only defend and attack by feeling. Lin Yu held his weapon tightly, listening vigilantly to the movements around him, praying silently in his heart that his companions would be safe. Su Yao was trying hard to maintain the defensive shield. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was as pale as paper, but she did not dare to relax at all.
Xiao Yi waved his weapon around in the black fog, trying to find the old woman. "You old witch, if you have the guts, come out and fight me head-on, don't hide in the shadows and play dirty tricks!" Xiao Yi shouted loudly, his voice tinged with anxiety.
Lu Ming was trying to recall the method he had read in books to dispel the black fog. He knew that only by dispelling it could they find the old woman's weakness and defeat her completely. "Everyone, hold on! I'm trying to find a way to dispel this black fog!" Lu Ming shouted.
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind. He had no time to turn around and could only use his weapon to resist. The huge impact caused a sharp pain in his arm, and he was knocked out and fell to the ground. Su Yao saw Lin Yu injured, and her heart tightened. She was almost distracted, and a crack appeared on the defensive shield.
"Lin Yu!" Su Yao shouted anxiously. She wanted to rush over to check Lin Yu's injuries, but she was worried that the defensive shield would be broken, putting everyone in greater danger.
Lin Yu endured the pain and stood up, his eyes full of determination. "I'm fine, Su Yao, you continue to maintain the defensive shield. Don't panic, we will definitely defeat her!" Lin Yu shouted loudly, boosting the morale of his companions.
Lu Ming finally found a way to dispel the black fog. He took out a small crystal ball and muttered something. The crystal ball emitted a soft light that gradually spread, and the black fog began to dissipate.
As the black mist dissipated, the old woman reappeared before the crowd. Her face was as pale as paper, and her body was shaky, clearly suffering heavy damage from the previous attack. But her eyes were still filled with hatred and unwillingness. "Do you think you can defeat me like this? I will not be defeated so easily!" the old woman shouted frantically, swinging her cane again in a final attempt to attack.
Lin Yu and the others took the opportunity to launch the final attack. Lin Yu's supernatural power, Xiao Yi's weapon attack, Lu Ming's prop interference, and Su Yao's auxiliary defense, all kinds of forces intertwined together, attacking the old woman. The old woman finally couldn't hold on and was hit by everyone's attack. She screamed, fell to the ground, and turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground. Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his companions: "Is everyone okay?"
Su Yao walked to Lin Yu and looked at his injuries with concern: "Lin Yu, you are injured, how are you?"
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Xiao Yi stood up and dusted himself off: "Oh, I finally got rid of this old witch. It was not easy."
Lu Ming was checking his props on the side, muttering, "I used up a lot of props this time. I guess I need to find a chance to replenish them."
At this moment, the bound black-robed man suddenly spoke: "Do you think you can leave here safely by defeating this old woman? You are too naive. This forest hides countless dangers, and the people from the Dark Cult and the Holy Light Cult will soon catch up with us."
Lin Yu looked at the man in black robes, his eyes showing a hint of doubt: "Why are you telling us this? What is your purpose?"
The black-robed man sneered, "I just don't want you to die too easily. You self-righteous guys can't escape the arrangement of fate after all."
Lin Yu frowned. He knew that although the black-robed man's words were unpleasant, they were probably true. They had to find a way to leave the forest as soon as possible, otherwise, greater danger would be waiting for them.
"Everyone, take a break and let's move on. No matter what dangers lie ahead, we must find a way to leave here and uncover the secrets of the Far North." Lin Yu said firmly.
Everyone nodded, packed their bags, and set out again on their journey to find a way out. The light in the forest grew dimmer, as if night was about to fall. The surrounding trees rustled in the wind, as if telling of an ominous omen. What dangers would they encounter? Could they successfully escape the pursuit of the Dark Cult and the Holy Church of Light? Everything was still unknown, but Lin Yu and his companions were ready to face new challenges and pursue that glimmer of hope.
As they advanced, they discovered some strange traces, which seemed to be footprints left by some powerful creature. The footprints were deeply embedded in the ground, and the surrounding soil was squeezed hard. Lin Yu squatted down and carefully observed the footprints, secretly wondering what kind of creature it was. "Everyone be careful, there may be a more powerful danger here." Lin Yu warned.
Su Yao followed Lin Yu closely, her heart filled with uneasiness. The trees around her seemed to be constantly approaching, making her feel imprisoned. "Lin Yu, can we really find a way out of here?" Su Yao asked softly.
Lin Yu reached out and held Su Yao's hand, giving her a firm look: "Believe me, we will find it. As long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Su Yao, don't worry, with Lin Yu and I here, we will definitely be able to protect you. Besides, maybe we can find some treasures in this forest."
Lu Ming pondered the black-robed man's words. He knew that the Dark Cult and the Holy Light Cult would not let them go easily. They had to speed up and find a way to leave here. At the same time, they had to find a way to deal with any enemies that might appear. "Lin Yu, we have to speed up. The Dark Cult and the Holy Light Cult could catch up at any time." Lu Ming said.
Lin Yu nodded: "I know, let's move on."
The group continued to advance through the forest, unsure of what lay ahead. With no way back, they could only forge ahead, seeking to uncover the truth hidden in the darkness and find a glimmer of hope for returning home. The surroundings grew increasingly eerie, with occasional cries of unknown origin adding to the fear and uncertainty of their journey.
