Chapter 386: Ghost Enemy
The sun shines on everyone's tired but joyful faces, and the joy of victory blows through everyone's heart like a spring breeze. However, before they can fully enjoy this hard-won peace, a new mission has arrived.
Li Yunfei stood on the top of the castle, overlooking the land that had just experienced the baptism of war. The breeze gently blew his hair, and his eyes showed both the emotion of past battles and the firm determination for the future.
"Although the dark lord has been defeated, this land still needs our protection." His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every companion.
Zhang Hao came over and patted Li Yunfei on the shoulder, "That's right, we can't let our guard down at all." His spear reflected the sunlight, as if telling of its former glory.
Feng Yu walked over lightly, the power of fire in her body had been restored, and her smile was as bright as the sun. "No matter how many difficulties there are in the future, we will face them together."
Mo Ying stood silently by the side, sheathing his short blade, his eyes revealing the same determination as always.
Lin Yue held the staff in his hand and said gently, "As long as we are united, nothing can stop us."
Ling'er looked into the distance, thoughtfully, "I have a feeling that greater challenges are yet to come."
Just then, a messenger came hurriedly.
"Lord Li Yunfei, I just received news that a mysterious force has appeared in the distant border. It is said that they are gathering and their intentions are unclear." The messenger's face was full of anxiety.
Li Yunfei frowned, "Mysterious power?"
“Yes, it is said that this force is very powerful and its actions are strange,” the messenger added.
Li Yunfei pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone, "It looks like we have to set off again."
Everyone nodded without hesitation.
They simply packed up their luggage and set out on a new journey. Along the way, the scenery kept changing, from bustling towns to desolate deserts, from dense forests to steep mountains.
In the desert, the sun was blazing, the hot sand burned their feet, and the strong wind blew up the dust so thick that it was impossible to open their eyes.
"Everyone be careful!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly.
They saw a huge sandstorm sweeping towards them.
Feng Yu waved his hands, trying to use the power of fire to resist the sandstorm, but the power of the sandstorm was too strong, and the flames were instantly swallowed up.
Mo Ying flashed and quickly took Lin Yue to hide behind a big rock.
Li Yunfei and Zhang Hao held their weapons tightly and tried to keep their footing.
After the sandstorm, everyone was covered in dust and dirt, but they did not stop and continued to move forward.
Finally, they walked out of the desert and came to a dense forest. The forest was filled with thick fog, making it difficult to tell the direction.
"Everyone follow closely and don't get separated." Li Yunfei led the way carefully.
Suddenly, an eerie cry came from the woods.
Everyone stopped in caution.
"What is it?" Zhang Hao gripped his spear tightly and looked around.
A huge monster jumped out of the woods. Its body was as big as a hill, its fangs were sharp, and its eyes were flashing with ferocity.
Li Yunfei rushed forward without hesitation, and the artifact collided with the monster's claws, making a loud noise.
Zhang Hao and Mo Ying also quickly joined the battle.
Feng Yu released flames on the side to provide them with support.
Lin Yue cast magic to provide defense for everyone.
After a fierce fight, the monster finally fell to the ground.
They continued on, through forests, over mountains, and finally reached the border.
In the border town, the atmosphere was tense and depressing, and people's faces were filled with fear and anxiety.
Li Yunfei and others found the local guards and learned more about the mysterious power.
“It is said that this mysterious force appears every night, attacks villages and steals property,” said the guard.
"How many of them are there?" Li Yunfei asked.
"I'm not sure, but every time he appears he's like a ghost, making it hard to guard against him," the guard replied.
As night fell, Li Yunfei and others ambushed around the village, waiting for the mysterious force to emerge.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling over the quiet village. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and a group of dark shadows appeared at the entrance of the village.
"Get ready for battle!" Li Yunfei whispered.
When the group of black shadows appeared at the entrance of the village, the whole world seemed to fall into a dead silence. Under the moonlight, the outlines of the black shadows were blurred, as if they had merged into the night. Only the occasional flash of cold light revealed the existence of the weapons in their hands.
Li Yunfei held the artifact tightly, his heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence. His eyes were fixed on the shadows, full of vigilance and determination. Zhang Hao, who was beside him, held his spear across his body, his muscles tensed, and his breathing became heavy.
The flames between Feng Yu's hands leaped, trying to illuminate the darkness ahead, but the weak light seemed so small in the deep night. Mo Ying was like a cheetah in the dark night, his body tense, and his short blade glowed coldly in the moonlight. The gem on Lin Yue's staff emitted a soft light, adding a touch of courage to everyone.
"Everyone, be careful and don't act rashly." Li Yunfei said in a low voice.
The shadows moved slowly, their footsteps so light that they were almost inaudible, approaching the village like ghosts. There was a creepy atmosphere in the air, as if the shadow of death was quietly looming.
Suddenly, a black shadow let out a sharp whistle, and in an instant, all the black shadows rushed over like a tide.
"Kill!" Li Yunfei shouted and rushed out first. The artifact in his hand shone brightly and collided with the black shadow in the front. The sound of metal clashing echoed in the night sky, and sparks flew everywhere.
Zhang Hao followed closely behind, his spear like a dragon, every time he thrust out, there was a whirring sound, going straight to the enemy's vital points. Feng Yu waved his hands, and the blazing flames turned into a fire dragon, sweeping towards the group of black shadows. Mo Ying shuttled between the enemies like a ghost, and every time the short blade flashed, it brought a trace of blood.
Lin Yue continued to cast magic in the back, providing treatment and protection for her companions. Her forehead was covered with sweat, but her eyes remained firm.
However, the strength of these shadows far exceeded everyone's imagination. They moved swiftly, as if they were not bound by gravity, and their attack methods were strange and varied, making it difficult to defend against them.
Li Yunfei dodged the attack from a shadow by leaning to the side, but his arm was still scratched, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red. "Damn it!" He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and swung the magic weapon again.
Zhang Hao's spear was tightly grasped by a black shadow. He pulled hard but couldn't break free. At this moment, another black shadow took the opportunity to pounce on him. At the critical moment, Mo Ying arrived in time and swung his short blade to repel the black shadow.
Although Feng Yu's flames posed a certain obstacle to the black shadow, her magic power was consumed too quickly and she gradually became unable to cope.
"Everyone hold on!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly.
The battle became more intense, and the houses in the village were shaken by the aftermath of the battle, and the dust was flying. The moonlight was obscured by the smoke, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.
Just when everyone was gradually losing their strength, Li Yunfei suddenly discovered a flaw in these shadows. They seemed to be deliberately protecting a figure, which was hidden in the depths of darkness, emitting a strong and evil aura.
"Attack the protected person!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly.
Hearing this, everyone launched a fierce attack in that direction. In order to protect that figure, the black shadows' defense had a loophole.
Li Yunfei took the opportunity to break through the shadow's defense and rushed towards the mysterious figure. When he finally saw the figure's face clearly, he was shocked. It was a wizard with a distorted face, his eyes flashing with strange light, holding a black staff in his hand, and a gemstone emitting a dark aura inlaid on the staff.
"So it's you who's causing trouble!" Li Yunfei roared.
The wizard sneered, "How dare you, you ignorant fellows, challenge my authority?"
As he spoke, he waved his staff, and a powerful dark force attacked Li Yunfei.
Li Yunfei was not afraid at all. The divine weapon shone brightly and collided with the dark force. For a moment, the light and darkness intertwined, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart.
In this fierce confrontation, Li Yunfei gradually gained the upper hand. He gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into the artifact.
"Break it for me!" Li Yunfei shouted.
The artifact burst out with a dazzling light, instantly defeating the dark power. The wizard screamed and fell to the ground.
As the wizard fell, the dark shadows seemed to have lost the source of their power and dissipated one after another.
The battle finally ended and everyone collapsed to the ground exhausted.
"We won..." Zhang Hao said weakly.
Li Yunfei looked up at the sky, but he didn't feel relaxed at all. He knew that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.
At this time, the dawn light gradually broke through the dark night sky, illuminating this war-torn land.
