Chapter 27: The Forbidden Land of Dark Crystal
Qin Feng and his companions overcame all obstacles along the way and finally arrived at the legendary forbidden land. This place is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and the air is filled with a strong smell of decay, as if even time has stopped here.
"This is where the Dark Source Crystal is hidden. Be careful, there may be an ambush." Chu Tian reminded in a low voice, and his Storm Wolf looked around vigilantly.
They moved forward cautiously, gradually going deeper into the core area of the forbidden land. The surrounding environment became more and more bizarre, with ancient trees covered with strange runes, and the ground covered with thick dead leaves. With every step they took, they could hear a creepy crisp sound.
"These runes are part of the ancient sealing magic. It seems that some powerful existence was once sealed here." Ye Li said after observation. Her frost fox made a low hissing sound and seemed extremely uneasy.
After going deep into the forbidden area, they finally stopped in front of a huge altar. In the center of the altar were several crystals that were shining with dark light. The aura emitted by these crystals was exactly the Dark Source Crystal.
"This is the Dark Source Crystal! As long as we destroy them, the power of the Dark Sect will be greatly weakened." Qin Feng said excitedly.
However, just as they were about to act, dark shadows suddenly appeared around the altar. These shadows gradually condensed and took shape, turning into powerful guardians. They carried a strong dark aura and were obviously endowed with powerful protective powers.
"It seems we have to defeat these guardians first." Zhang Meng said in a deep voice, his giant rock bear was ready to fight.
The guardians did not give them much time to think and immediately launched an attack. Each guardian showed extremely strong combat power, and their attacks were highly corrosive. Qin Feng and his partners had to go all out to fight against them.
The battle was extremely difficult, the guardians' attacks were like a storm, and every blow made them feel a mountain of pressure. Qin Feng's Dragon Shadow Sword kept colliding with the enemy's claws, and the sword light flickered in the dark, but these guardians seemed not afraid at all.
"These guys' defense is too strong, our attacks can't cause any substantial damage!" Chu Tian shouted anxiously.
Ye Li observed for a while and suddenly discovered the weakness of these guardians: "Their power comes from the dark source crystal! As long as we can destroy the source crystal, their power will be weakened!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng decisively decided to change his strategy: "Chu Tian, Zhang Meng, you hold them back, Ye Li and I will destroy the source crystal!"
With the cooperation of their partners, Qin Feng and Ye Li quickly rushed to the center of the altar. They concentrated all their strength, injected all their spiritual power into their weapons, and then slashed at the dark source crystal together.
The Dark Origin Crystal let out a sharp scream, and then began to break under the powerful impact. As the first Origin Crystal shattered, the Guardians' power was significantly weakened, their movements became sluggish, and their attack power also dropped significantly.
Seeing this change, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng immediately seized the opportunity, counterattacked with all their strength, and knocked down the remaining guardians one by one.
Qin Feng and Ye Li continued to destroy the remaining source crystals. With each destruction, the dark aura in the forbidden area weakened. Finally, when the last source crystal was destroyed, the dark power on the altar completely dissipated, and the entire forbidden area returned to peace.
"We succeeded!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly.
Although they successfully destroyed the Dark Source Crystal, Qin Feng's heart was still filled with uneasiness. He always felt that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this action, and the Dark Sect would never give up.
"We must return to the academy as soon as possible and report the situation here to Vice President Feng Jian." Ye Li suggested, her expression still solemn.
Qin Feng nodded. They knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but they were ready to face more tests that were coming.
