Chapter 147 Counterattack and Treasure Seizure
The group returned laden with their spoils, their faces beaming with the joy of their harvest. They passed through the stone gate one by one, preparing to leave this mysterious place.
Lan Xing walked in front, cautiously scanning her surroundings, while Xu Xiaoxiao and the others followed behind, occasionally exchanging information about their gains.
They hadn't gone far when a group of people dressed in black, close-fitting clothes with dark patterns suddenly appeared ahead, completely blocking their path.
The leader was a tall, stern-faced man. He stared greedily at the bulging storage bags at the waists of the group and let out a cold laugh: "Hmph, you guys are quite lucky to have found that medicinal herb field. However, this treasure is not for you. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Xu Xiaoxiao was startled, but she forced herself to remain calm and stepped forward to question, "Who are you people? How dare you rob and steal in broad daylight!"
The man curled his lip in disdain: "Little girl, you've got guts. We're from the Blood Fiend Sect. There's nothing we can't get."
Lin Yu frowned, gently closed his folding fan, and stood in front of Xu Xiaoxiao, saying in a deep voice, "Blood Fiend Sect? I've heard you've always committed many evils. If you want to snatch things from us today, you've miscalculated."
"Hahahaha!" The leader of the Blood Fiend Sect laughed loudly, "You few? You're overestimating yourselves! Brothers, charge! Don't let a single one escape!"
At his command, the Blood Fiend Sect members pounced like wolves. Zi Ling nervously gripped her magic weapon, her voice trembling slightly: "Miss Xu, what should we do? There are so many of them."
Xu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, everyone fight side by side, we will definitely defeat them! Lanxing, prepare for battle!" Lanxing raised his head and roared, a layer of dark blue light emanating from his body, and assumed a fighting stance.
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing determination, and shouted in unison, "Let's fight them!" With that, the two of them cast spells and charged towards the oncoming enemies.
The Blood Fiend Sect members launched a fierce attack, and for a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, with spells flashing and shouts of battle ringing out.
While dodging the enemy's attacks, Xu Xiaoxiao looked for an opportunity to counterattack. She spotted an opening and unleashed a powerful spell, knocking an enemy back several steps.
Lin Yu waved his folding fan, each swing generating a sharp gust of wind that repelled the approaching enemies. He looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and shouted, "Miss Xu, this can't go on. We have to find a way to break through!"
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, her gaze falling on a dense forest in the distance. She shouted, "Break through over there! Use the terrain of the forest to fight them!" Hearing this, the group fought their way back into the forest.
The leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, enraged at their attempt to escape, roared, "Trying to run? Not so easy! Chase them! There's a hefty reward for catching them!"
The group fought their way back into the woods, pursued relentlessly by the Blood Fiend Sect members. As soon as they entered the woods, Xu Xiaoxiao quickly sent a telepathic message to Lan Xing: "Lan Xing, create a fog to distract them!"
Blue Star understood immediately, raised its head and roared to the sky. In an instant, a thick blue mist surged from its body, quickly spreading throughout the forest and drastically reducing visibility.
"Oh no, this is the wolf's doing! Everyone be careful!" someone from the Blood Fiend Sect shouted in panic.
Taking advantage of the fog, Lin Yu moved like a ghost, his folding fan transforming into a sharp blade. Seizing the opportunity, he fiercely stabbed at a Blood Fiend Sect disciple.
The man screamed and fell to the ground. "Hmph, the Blood Fiend Sect has committed countless evils. Today is your retribution!" Lin Yu shouted angrily in a low voice.
Zi Ling hid behind a large tree, making hand seals to control several vines that sprouted from the ground and tightly bound the several reckless intruders. "If you want to kill and steal treasure, you'll have to get past me first!" she shouted.
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng stood back to back, while Sun Yao stood with her shield up. The three of them unleashed a combined attack, their spells merging to form a powerful defensive barrier, while simultaneously launching a counterattack. "We, the senior and junior brothers and sisters, must fight side by side and not let them succeed!" Zhao Yu shouted.
Xu Xiaoxiao moved quickly through the mist, searching for the location of the Blood Fiend Sect leader. Suddenly, she spotted a figure appearing and disappearing in the mist—it was the leader.
Without hesitation, Xu Xiaoxiao gathered all her spiritual power and shot a beam of spiritual energy towards the figure. "Die!" Xu Xiaoxiao shouted.
The leader reacted quickly, dodging to the side, but was still grazed by the beam of light, leaving a bloody gash on his arm. "Little girl, how dare you hurt me!" he roared, charging towards Xu Xiaoxiao without regard for anything else.
Just then, Blue Star pounced out from the side like lightning, its sharp claws grabbing directly at the leader's back.
The leader sensed the danger and turned to defend himself, but was still scratched by Blue Star and staggered back a few steps.
"Now you know how powerful I am!" Xu Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and unleashed a series of spells at the leader. The leader was struggling to defend and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
"You...you wait!" The leader, seeing the situation was not good, tried to escape.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Lin Yu appeared behind him without his noticing, and with a wave of his folding fan, a strong gust of wind knocked him to the ground.
Xu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and pointed her sword at his neck: "Hand over your storage bags, and I'll spare your lives."
The leader's face turned ashen. After a moment's hesitation, he reluctantly handed over the storage bag. "The Blood Fiend Sect will not let this grudge go unpunished!" he said viciously.
"Hmph, don't let us run into you again next time, or we won't let you off easily!" Xu Xiaoxiao sheathed her sword and turned to rejoin the others.
The group gathered together, looking somewhat disheveled, but their eyes shone with the joy of victory. "Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, we managed to escape danger this time," Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his face and nodded, saying, "That's right. The Blood Fiend Sect suffered a loss this time, and they definitely won't let it go. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
Zi Ling and Sun Yao shook the storage bags in their hands and said excitedly, "We've had a great harvest. We've really made a fortune this time."
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng exchanged a smile: "If something like this happens again, we'll do it together again!"
Led by Lan Xing, the group quickly left this dangerous place with their spoils and continued their exploration of the secret realm.
As time went by, the group explored the secret realm more and more deeply. One day, they came to a mysterious valley.
The valley was filled with a strange light, and the surrounding cliffs were inlaid with gems that emitted a faint glow. The ground beneath our feet was soft and exuded a spiritual aura.
Looking at the scene before her, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of anticipation. She said, "This place feels full of spiritual energy. Everyone must be careful."
Lin Yu nodded slightly and gently waved his folding fan: "That's right, the more strange a place is, the more likely it is to hide danger."
The group proceeded cautiously when suddenly, a group of guardian beasts appeared ahead. These guardian beasts were shaped like Qilin, with eerie green flames burning around them, and roared as they pounced on them.
"Everyone be careful! It's a Flame-Scaled Beast!" Zhao Yu shouted, and was the first to cast a defensive spell, which instantly enveloped everyone in light.
Qian Feng quickly formed hand seals, summoning several ice shards that shot towards the Flame-Scaled Beast. "Hmph, you've come at the right time. Let me show you my power!"
The battle was about to begin, with magical light and beast roars intertwining. Zi Ling skillfully used her staff to cast spells, controlling the surrounding plants to attack the guardian beast.
Sun Yao stayed behind, continuously casting healing spells on everyone to ensure their well-being.
After a fierce battle, the group repelled the Flame-Scaled Beast, but all of them suffered minor injuries. Xu Xiaoxiao looked at everyone and said with concern, "Is everyone alright? Although this battle was difficult, we also gained a lot."
Zi Ling wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied with a smile, "I'm fine, just some minor injuries. Moreover, after this battle, I feel that I have a better grasp of magic, and my cultivation level seems to have improved as well."
Lin Yu checked his injuries and nodded, saying, "Indeed, after experiencing many battles in this secret realm, I have also faintly touched the edge of a breakthrough."
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng exchanged a smile. Zhao Yu said excitedly, "That's right. Every battle is a learning experience. All those dangers we went through before were worthwhile. We've all become stronger."
The group continued on their way and arrived at an ancient palace. The palace gates were tightly closed, exuding a mysterious aura. Lan Xing stepped forward and sniffed the air, then transmitted her voice to Xu Xiaoxiao: "Master, there is a powerful aura of treasure inside."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes: "Everyone be careful, prepare to enter the palace, there may be a great opportunity hidden inside."
As the group pushed open the palace gates, a sense of antiquity rushed out. The palace was dimly lit, and the walls were covered with ancient runes. As soon as they stepped into the palace, the ground suddenly began to shake, and sharp spikes rose up from the ground.
"Watch out!" Lin Yu shouted, using wind magic to lift everyone up and avoid the spikes.
Deep within the palace, they encountered a powerful phantom guardian, a gigantic being wielding a massive sword engulfed in black flames, each swing generating a powerful shockwave.
"This guardian is very strong, everyone attack together!" Xu Xiaoxiao shouted, and took the lead in unleashing her strongest spell, charging towards the guardian.
With everyone working together, they engaged in a fierce battle against the guardians. During the battle, everyone was injured repeatedly, but with their tenacious will and tacit cooperation, they gradually gained the upper hand.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the guardian, and where the guardian disappeared, a spirit orb radiating multicolored light appeared.
Xu Xiaoxiao stepped forward, picked up the spirit pearl, and felt the powerful energy contained within it. She said, "This spirit pearl contains boundless spiritual energy, which will definitely be of great help to us in breaking through our cultivation levels."
Lin Yu looked at the spirit pearl with satisfaction in his eyes: "After going through so many hardships and dangers, we have finally achieved a major result. Everyone's efforts have not been in vain."
Zhao Yu said excitedly, "Yes, this time in the secret realm, we not only obtained a lot of treasures, but our strength also made a qualitative leap. We are confident that we can face more challenges in the future!"
The group continued exploring the secret realm, knowing that more opportunities and challenges awaited them ahead.
