Chapter 222 Demon Clan
The girl nodded and began to tell the story. It turned out that there was an ancient ruin in this forest, and within it was sealed a powerful dark force.
But recently, the seal has loosened, and dark forces have begun to leak out, affecting the ecology of the forest.
"What should we do to seal the dark power again?" Yun Mengyao asked.
The girl pointed deep into the forest and said, "There's a magic circle within the ruins. Only powerful magic and special items can reactivate the magic circle and seal the dark forces. The gem in your hands may be the key."
"Then let's go," Xiao Yichen said. They followed the girl deeper into the forest, and along the way they saw more scenes affected by the power of darkness.
The trees withered, the flowers and plants died, and the once vibrant forest became dead silent.
When they arrived at the ruins, they found a thick black fog surrounding them. In the fog, some evil figures were vaguely wandering, emitting bursts of eerie laughter.
"The dark power here is very strong, everyone be careful." Xiao Yichen warned. They walked into the ruins, which were filled with an old smell.
The walls are engraved with ancient runes and patterns, which emit a strange light under the erosion of dark forces.
In the center of the ruins, there was a huge magic circle. The magic circle was already somewhat damaged, and some black slime was flowing around it. This slime was the embodiment of the dark power.
"We need to clean up the slime first before we can repair the magic circle," the girl said. They began to cast magic to try to remove the slime.
Lan Yunyan used ice magic to freeze the slime, and then Xiao Yichen shattered the frozen slime with his sword. Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao used earth and wind magic to clear away the fragments.
But the slime seemed endless. After they cleaned up some of it, more slime came out.
Moreover, the forces of darkness began to attack, and evil figures wandering in the mist pounced on them.
These evil figures are ghostly, incorporeal figures that can pass through objects.
When they get close to people, they emit a cold aura that makes people feel like their souls are about to be frozen.
Lan Yunyan created a layer of ice shield, covering everyone in it, temporarily blocking the attack of the evil figure. But the ice shield can't resist for long, and they must find a solution as soon as possible.
Xiao Yichen looked at the gem in his hand and decided to use the power of the gem to fight against the dark forces. He placed the gem in the center of the magic circle and cast a spell to guide the power of the gem to the entire ruins.
The gem's light shone brightly, illuminating the entire ruins like a sun. Wherever the light reached, the forces of darkness retreated. The slime began to evaporate under the light, and the evil figure let out a cry of pain and disappeared into thin air.
"It works!" Xiao Yichen said excitedly.
They sped up the process of clearing the magic circle, and with the help of the gems, the magic circle was quickly cleared.
Next, they had to repair the magic circle. Based on the information provided by the girl, they began to look for the materials needed to repair the magic circle.
In various corners of the ruins, they found some ancient magic props and rune stones, which were the key to repairing the magic circle.
They placed the magic items and rune stones on the magic circle in a specific order, then cast a spell to activate the magic circle. The magic circle began to glow, and the damaged parts began to repair themselves.
As the magic circle was repaired, the dark forces were gradually sealed. The black mist in the forest gradually dissipated, the trees regained vitality, and the flowers and plants began to grow again.
"Thank you," the girl said gratefully, "you saved this forest."
"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Xiao Yichen said.
Yingyi led the team through the forest like the wind, their target was a group of fleeing demons.
These demons had lost in the previous battle and were trying to flee the area.
Ying Yi's eyes were as fast as lightning, locked on the black figure that was looming in front of him. The scimitar in his hand flashed with cold light. It was a weapon infused with powerful magic power and could easily tear open the barrier of darkness.
"Don't let them run away!" Ying Yi's low voice rang out in the team, and his men responded in unison and accelerated to chase after them.
Just when they were about to catch up with the demons, an ice wall suddenly appeared in the woods ahead. The ice wall was several people tall, crystal clear but emitting bursts of coldness, blocking the demons' way.
The demons stopped in fear and turned around to try to find another way to escape.
"Who is it?" Ying Yi looked towards the ice wall vigilantly, holding the scimitar in his hand across his body.
I saw Lan Yunyan slowly walking out from the woods nearby. She was wearing a light blue robe, holding a magic wand, and had a stern expression.
Behind her, Xiao Yichen, Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also appeared one after another.
Lan Yunyan frowned slightly, looking at the scene in front of her, obviously considering Ying Yi and others as suspicious persons.
Yingyi stopped in the forest and looked at Lan Yunyan with complicated eyes.
She was still as beautiful as he remembered, but her eyes had a bit more determination from having gone through battle.
Lan Yunyan frowned and looked at Yingyi, a little wary of this stranger who suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?" The wand in Lan Yunyan's hand glowed slightly, ready to deal with possible danger at any time.
Ying Yi suppressed his emotions and replied in a low voice, "We are from the Qingyun Continent Holy Palace and are hunting down these demons."
He gestured to the subdued demon behind him.
Lan Yunyan nodded slightly, "In that case, then you guys continue. We are protecting this forest and don't want the demons to wreak havoc here." After that, she prepared to leave with Xiao Yichen and others.
Ying Yi looked at Lan Yunyan's departing back, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.
After he and his men quickly dealt with the demons, they returned to Qingyun Continent.
The Holy Palace is located in the center of Qingyun Continent, like a shining pearl.
