Chapter 254 Accidents on the Journey

After leaving the academy, Qin Feng and his companions headed towards the place marked on the map. They set foot on a path leading to the distant mountains. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming in the mountains and forests, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Although the journey was long, everyone was in a good mood and was full of anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming adventure.

Zhang Meng gnawed on a big chicken leg while walking, and said vaguely: "Hey, this kind of trip is really enjoyable! It would be great if I could walk around like this every day."

Chu Tian laughed and said, "You are really good at talking. You ate five chicken legs after walking for such a short while. Be careful or you may not be able to walk later."

Zhang Meng patted his stomach and said proudly: "It doesn't matter, I'm just reserving energy for the mission! Only when I have strength can I protect everyone."

Ye Li couldn't help but laugh: "It's amazing that you can find such a good reason."

Qin Feng looked at everyone's smiling faces and felt relaxed. He took out the map to confirm the direction, and then said, "There is a stream not far ahead. We can take a rest there before continuing on our way."

Wang Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded, "Okay, I can just wash my face."

Soon they came to a stream, which was crystal clear, with water glittering in the sun and making a pleasant gurgling sound.

Chu Tian immediately took off his shoes, put his feet into the cold stream, and sighed comfortably: "Ah, this is life!"

Ye Li squatted down, scooped up a handful of water, and gently sprinkled it on her face, smiling: "The water is so cool, it feels so good to wash."

Zhang Meng also took off his shoes and stepped into the stream with a splash. "This water is really cool! Come and try it too!"

Qin Feng and Wang Yue also sat down by the stream and put their feet in the water. The water gently washed their feet, taking away the fatigue of the day.

Wang Yue narrowed her eyes, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and smiled: "I really hope that time can stop at this moment, so that I can enjoy life quietly."

Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, but we still have tasks to complete. After a short rest, we will continue to move forward."

Just as everyone was enjoying their rest leisurely, suddenly, there was a slight vibration in the air around them, as if something was approaching.

Ye Li's ears twitched slightly, and she raised her head alertly: "Did you hear any sound?"

Chu Tian immediately stood up from the water and looked around: "It's a bit strange, like... like footsteps?"

Zhang Meng frowned and tightened his grip on the axe in his hand cautiously: "It seems we have to be prepared."

As soon as Qin Feng and the others stood up, they saw several dark shadows suddenly jumping out from the bushes. Those dark shadows moved swiftly, flashing with faint light, and looked like some kind of magical creatures.

Chu Tian's eyes widened: "What are these? They look a bit like wolves, but not really!"

Zhang Meng raised his giant axe and shouted, "No matter what they look like, let's get rid of them first!"

After saying that, he jumped up and swung his axe at one of the shadows. The shadow dodged quickly at an astonishing speed.

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword and concentrated: "Everyone be careful, these guys are very fast, they may be sent by the Dark Cult."

Ye Li summoned the Frost Fox, and the cold air instantly spread. The Frost Fox opened its mouth and shot a stream of cold air towards the shadows, trying to slow them down.

Wang Yue summoned the Light Deer, and the healing light surrounded her, ready to support her injured companions at any time.

Qin Feng swung his sword at a black shadow, but the sword light only left a residual shadow in the air. The black shadow circled behind Qin Feng and tried to attack him, but Qin Feng reacted quickly and rolled over to avoid the attack.

Chu Tian shouted: "These guys are too fast! We have to find a way to limit their speed!"

Ye Li narrowed her eyes and quickly formulated a plan: "Chu Tian, ​​you use the Storm Wolves to create a whirlwind to restrict their movement. Wang Yue and I will cooperate with the Frost Foxes and Bright Deer to see if we can freeze them!"

Chu Tian nodded and immediately summoned the Storm Wolf. The Storm Wolf growled and swept its tail violently, a whirlwind formed in the air, engulfing several black shadows.

Wang Yue and Ye Li exerted their strength at the same time, and the coldness and light of the Frost Fox and the Light Deer intertwined to form an ice wall, trapping the dark shadows inside.

Qin Feng seized the opportunity, raised the Dragon Shadow Sword high, and the blue sword light slashed down like thunder. The black shadows let out a low roar, fell to the ground one after another, turned into black smoke, and disappeared into the air.

Zhang Meng laughed and said, "Well done! These guys are no match for us!"

Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and patted Storm Wolf on the head: "Well done, brother!"

Qin Feng put away the Dragon Shadow Sword and looked at the dissipating smoke with a frown: "These creatures look like some kind of summoned magical creatures. It seems that we are not far from the ruins."

Ye Li nodded: "Yes, the closer we get to the ruins, the more likely the Dark Cult will not let us go. We have to speed up."

After the battle, Qin Feng and his men continued on their way. Soon, they came to a valley. The valley was surrounded by towering mountain walls and had only a narrow entrance.

After entering the valley, they found a flat open space at the bottom of the valley. In the center of the open space was a huge stone tablet engraved with ancient runes.

Wang Yue looked at the stone tablet and said in surprise: "These runes are very similar to those we have seen in the academy, but they are also a little different."

Ye Li walked forward and observed the runes carefully: "These runes seem to describe an ancient sealing technique. It may be related to the power of the Dragon Shadow Sword."

Chu Tian touched his chin and guessed: "Could it be the entrance to the ruins? Maybe we need to decipher these runes to enter."

Zhang Meng rubbed his hands together and said, "Then let's not waste time! Let's quickly see how to crack it."

Qin Feng nodded and took out the jade token given by the mysterious man from his bag. He held the jade token, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and felt the weak power coming from the jade token.

Suddenly, the jade tablet emitted a soft light, illuminating the runes on the stone tablet. The runes began to emit a faint light, gradually becoming brighter and brighter.

The light became stronger and stronger, and runes on the stone tablet began to emerge, forming complex lines, and finally converging into a strange pattern.

As the last beam of light disappeared, a circular teleportation array suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the stone tablet. The edge of the teleportation array flickered with a light blue light, and it seemed to be full of mysterious power.

Chu Tian said excitedly: "It looks like we succeeded! This is the entrance to the ruins!"

Ye Li nodded: "Yes, our guess is correct. Through this teleportation array, we can enter the ruins."

Zhang Meng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder: "Not bad, Qin Feng, you are really good!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "We are a team. Only if we work together can we find the answer."

Wang Yue looked at the teleportation array and said softly, "I hope we can find the true power of the Dragon Shadow Sword in the ruins and live up to everyone's expectations."

Qin Feng and his companions stood in front of the teleportation array, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness. They knew that this adventure would be the biggest challenge they had ever faced, but it was also the best opportunity for them to grow and explore.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and said firmly: "Let's go, let's go into the ruins together!"

As they watched, the light of the teleportation array gradually grew stronger. Qin Feng and his companions stepped into the teleportation array one by one. With a flash of light, their figures disappeared into the valley.
